ForensiT’s Transwiz

I just can’t use Transwiz.  I don’t know why the concept is easy enough and I love Profwiz, but Transwiz fails 50% of the time for me.  Some problem with files it tries to transfer.  Oh?  You have no idea what I’m talking about do you?  I should explain.

ForensiT’s Transwiz is suppose to compress a user’s profile so that it can be moved to a new PC.  Transwiz takes the entire Windows profile so everything looks virtually the same for the user on a new PC.  The compressing of the data seems to work fine but when I put it on the new PC Transwiz will error out 50% of the time.  Coping some profiles can take a long time if they have a lot of data and I don’t have time for it to fail 50% of the time.

I have no idea what the problem is.  It could be failing on a particular type of file.  Luckily (ingenuously) the compressed profile is just a ZIP file so I can get the data out but for me its just easier to use a simple .bat file I created and just get the important stuff.

However I can highly recommend Profwiz.  It’s designed to move one profile to a new profile within the same PC.  We used it at the day job to migrate all of the users to a domain.  Worked great.
