העברת פרופיל בין שני מחשבים

העברת פרופיל בין שני מחשבים - פרופיל נודד

השיטה הטובה ביותר להעביר פרופיל בין שני מחשבים היא הגדרת Roaming Profile למשתמש וביצוע פעמיים אתחול למחשב.

הסבר קצר מה זה פרופיל נודד:

A Roaming Profile is used to preserve a user's configuration (desktop, background, etc) and present the user with an identical environment on any computer the user logs on.
This means that a user that is configured to use a roaming profile can use a computer "A", make changes to the desktop, log off computer "A", log on to another computer "B", and see the exact desktop he/she had on computer "A".

להלן הדגשים שיש לשים אליהם לב:
1. לאחר האתחול השני יש לוודא שאכן ה-Roaming Profile הוגדר.
2. לוודא שלא קיימים PST במיקומים לא סטנדרטים ע"י בדיקה בכל פרופילי המשתמש.
3. להתקין והעביר גם את החומר של התוכנות הלא סטנדרטיות.

כיצד מגדירים את הפרופיל כ"נודד":

Configuring Roaming User Profiles
Updated: March 28, 2003
Before you create a roaming user profile, you need to create each user account. Then, log on to a server as an administrator to create a network share to store the roaming user profiles, designate the groups of users to receive the roaming user profiles, and grant all users Full Control permissions.
Use the following procedures when you create and manage roaming user profiles.
Creating Roaming User Profiles
To perform the following procedure, you must be a member of the Account Operators group, Domain Admin group, or the Enterprise Admin group in Active Directory, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. For enhanced security, consider using the Runas command to perform this procedure.
To create a roaming user profile

1. Open Active Directory Users and Computers.
2. Click the domain and the OU where the user account resides.
3. Right-click the user account for which to set a roaming profile, and then click Properties.
4. Click the Profile tab, and then type the profile path information in Profile path. (Use the full path in each user account. For example, type \\Server\ShareName\UserName.)



Another way to populate the profile path is to use an Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) script. ADSI provides a single set of interfaces for managing resources on the network. You can use ADSI in combination with Microsoft Visual Basic scripting Edition (VBscript) or Jscript scripts to manage Active Directory resources such as users and services.
For information about ADSI and ADSI scripts, see the Microsoft Platform SDK link on the Web Resources page at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/reskits/webresources.
Changing User Profile Type from Local to Roaming
Typically, a large organization has many users with local profiles. For ease of management, you might want to change many of the local profiles to roaming profiles. Moving user’s data and settings from the workstation to a server reduces the user’s dependence on the workstation’s availability, simplifies user data management, and allows centralized account management.
To create a roaming user profile for a user that has a local profile

1. Open Active Directory Users and Computers.
2. Click the domain and the OU where the user account resides.
3. Right-click the appropriate user account for which to set a roaming profile, and then click Properties.
4. Click the Profile tab, and type the profile path information in Profile path (for example, type \\Server\ShareName\UserName).

Note
• To change a user’s local profile to a roaming profile for a user who uses multiple computers simultaneously, the user must log off last from the computer that has the profile that the user wants to use.

ניתן להגדיר דרך GPO מי לא יקבל את ה-Roaming profile.
