Migrate Users Using a Crossover Cable

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

Follow these steps:

1. Create all the user profiles on the destination computer before you disconnect it from the network and before you begin the crossover cable migration.
2. Open DMM Options Editor from the Start menu.
3. Click the Open toolbar button, browse to the installation location of CA DMM, and then select DNAOptions.dox.
4. Click the User Profile branch.
5. Select Use existing profiles to resolve user destinations. (This option is not selected by default.)

   When you set this option, you can migrate orphan user profiles to match user profiles on the destination.

   When you do not set this option, you can perform a crossover cable migration (or any migration where resolution of the user account is not possible). Hence, CA DMM does not create the unresolved account, and the migration of those users fails.

6. Click Save and close DMM Options Editor.
