ForensiT User Profile Wizard
What it is
ForensiT User Profile Wizard configures an existing Windows user profile for a different account while keeping the profile’s data and settings in place. This in-place process does not move, copy, or delete data. Supported account migrations include local, Active Directory, hybrid, and Entra ID/Azure AD accounts; it also supports Active Directory and Samba domains, including moving a computer from a domain back to a workgroup. The free Personal Edition is limited to a graphical interface. Professional Edition is a perpetual license at $149.95 per technician for GUI migrations one computer at a time, without automation or scripting. Corporate Edition costs $3.50 per seat for a one-year subscription, with a minimum order of 50 licenses; it adds automated workstation migrations, scripting, command-line use, automatic script generation, and secure execution of additional code. Professional and Corporate Editions support push migrations, which require File and Printer Sharing and discoverable machines. A Deployment Kit can create a single executable for rollout through Group Policy or desktop management software. The tool does not migrate profiles between computers.
