Hi Don,
We are using this script with 90% success rate in our refresh project as
we speak (blog.macadmincorner.com/migrate-local-user-to-domain-account).
It has tripped couple of times (I think technician forgot to reboot after
binding the Mac to AD - I will need to check this myself to be sure). If
it trips, it removes the account and renames the home folder. So you end
up with just home folder.
To get this script to work in a higher rate, you will need to restart the
Mac after bind to AD then run the script.
If the script still trips: Perhaps you can use following Terminal command
that you have been using should fix it - TBC
sudo chown -R username:"DOMAINgroup" /Users/username
BTW; we are using Time Machine and FireWire 800 Drives (it would have been
awesome if we had the Thunderbolt technology for older Macs and TB
Drive/s). We backup entire drive then only migrate account/s to the newly
built Mac. We then keep the data for a week for messy User/s to come back
if they need some data (some people leave their data all over the Volume
ie. Top folder, Applications etc...)
I would love to know, how do you handle your data migration process though.
Cheers
Cem
