Hi Everyone,<br />
<br />
I am replacing two terminal servers for my client this summer. Each server houses about 30 users. I know I have to reinstall all of the software, that's not the hard/annoying part. <br />
<br />
Is it possible to migrate the user profiles? This way I won't have to log into each user's profile and configure it, copy over favorites/desktop icons, etc.<br />
<br />
From the research I've done, there is no way to do this because of the SID.<br />
<br />
What say you smarties out there?

Migrating Users Profiles from one terminal server to another

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
