What is the best way to migrate a user profile in Vista? I just tried the Vista Easy Transfer and found that it did not do everything I wanted it to do. I am trying to leave a leave a domain and join a workgroup.

Vista is acting somewhat differently.– Steve FrenchNov 12, 2009 at 23:00

Care to elaborate on what is not working? Or what you are expecting it to do?– ZoredacheNov 12, 2009 at 23:25

Sorry, I was quite vaugue earlier. I'm attempting to leave a domain and join a workgroup. Ideally I would like it to be transfer to be invisible to my user, this involves migrating the profile, but I'm really not sure how to do it.– Steve FrenchNov 13, 2009 at 2:19

I wrote about how to migrate a profile on my blog, (as well as why I was trying to do it) but the short, practical answer is to just download the user profile wizard from Forensit and use that. I tried many other methods, but could not find any other good way of getting the job done.
I know that Windows7 has a built-in backup feature that will backup and/or restore your user profile.
