Migrate Users Using a Crossover Cable

You can migrate NT domain and Active Directory user profiles during a crossover cable migration.

To migrate users using a crossover cable

Create all the user profiles on the destination computer before you disconnect it from the network and before you begin the crossover cable migration.
Open DMM Options Editor from the Start menu.
DMM Options Editor opens.
Click the Open toolbar button, browse to the installation location of CA DMM, and then select DNAOptions.dox.
The file opens in DMM Options Editor.
Click the User Profile branch.
The User Profiles page appears.
Select Use existing profiles to resolve user destinations. (It is not selected by default.)
Click the Save button, and close DMM Options Editor.
Setting this option lets you migrate orphan user profiles to matching user profiles on the destination. If you do not set this option, and you are performing a crossover cable migration (or any migration where resolution of the user account is not possible), CA DMM does not create the unresolved account, and the migration of those users fails.
