Migrate to the cloud - Part 1. Setup

[anyweb]

hi @dipalma

thank you for trying out my solution, this code is 'as is' and it's up to you to make it work in your environment, you can rem out all the scrolling by editing the associated log file, but what you really should have seen is the full screen status screen and not the powershell logging

what that means is something probably failed which is why you are seeing the powershell cmd instead of the status screen,

feel free to post your logs here and i can take a look.

that said, i'm still working on it and will hopefully have a newer version of it to release in the coming month or two with a LOT of bug fixes and improvements

cheers

Hello,

Your script is awesome and will save us a lot of works for our migration. Thanks a lot for sharing it with us.

I had to modify something to get it work.

When OS language is different from english, the administrators group isn't the same so instead of using an hardcoded group name I got it with the sid which is always the same  

        $AdminGroup=(get-wmiobject win32_group -Filter "SID='S-1-5-32-544'" | Select Name)

        Add-LocalGroupMember -Group $AdminGroup -Member $UserName}

Hi Niall,

 

Hope you are doing well and thank you for the great stuff you put together 😉

I have a small question, would it be possible to migrate the data from the old profile to the new one created after the migration of the machine?

I know all the data will be on OneDrive, but just in case user start to download all the data again and end up facing storage problems.

hi @RobsonM, thanks !

this tool does not migrate any of the users data, but ... it also doesn't delete anything so the users data (files apps etc) is still stored and hidden in their old profile located in C:\Users\<username.old>

if you really want to migrate their data then you'll need to customize the scripts and/or use a 3rd party tool for that

 

cheers
