What exactly do you mean by "user tree"?

Carry the profile data from one PC to another

 

I usually carry a user profile data from one PC to another by simply copy

the specific user "tree" (while I'm logged in as administrator account in

safe mode) and then restarting the PC.

Now I try to do it again with some other PC(I must use this user because of

many installations that I've done with it) but the user name is not

identical. So I modified the name in the following procedure: May

computer->Properties->manage->Local Users and Groups , into an identical

name. To my surprise I saw that the profile name under "C:\Documents and

Settings" didn't change as I expected.

Can someone advise how should I proceed ?

Can I simply modify the user profile name and everything would work?

 

Regards

Thanks Mr. Pegasus,

I'm sorry if I use a wrong name but I meant the simply directory tree that

its root name is the specific user name(under "C:\Documents and Settings" I

have all the these user names).

Regards

Ronny

RE: Carry the profile data from one PC to another

 

You cannot do that.

 

The profile MUST be installed under a folder of the same name as it came from.

If that account does not exist, you must first create it, then log on once

as that user and off again before copying the profile as Administrator.

 

On personally-assigned desktops I make all users literally 'user' - avoids

profile portability problems!
