What is User Profile Wizard?
User Profile Wizard will migrate your current user profile to your new domain account so that you can keep all your existing data and settings.
User Profile Wizard has been used to automatically migrate hundreds of thousands of workstations to new domains. It can be used to migrate workstations to a new domain from any existing Windows network, or from a Novell NDS network; it can join standalone computers to a domain for the first time, or migrate workstations from a domain back to a workgroup.
A User Profile is where Windows stores your stuff. Normally, when you change your user account Windows will create a new profile for you, and you lose all your data and settings - your “My Documents”, “My Pictures” and “My Music” files and all the other information that makes your computer personal to you, like your desktop wallpaper, Internet favorites and the lists of documents you've recently opened.
User Profile Wizard is an easy-to-use migration tool that means this doesn’t need to happen – you can simply migrate your original profile to your new user account. User Profile Wizard does not move, copy or delete any data. Instead it configures the profile “in place” so that it can be used by your new user account. This makes the process both very fast and very safe.
With the User Profile Wizard Deployment Kit you can build a scalable, enterprise solution to automatically migrate tens of thousands of workstations.
Unlike some alternatives, User Profile Wizard does not assume that there is an enterprise directory in place. It supports all environments from Small Business Server through to a Global Domain Consolidation.

Comments and Reviews
Caution: You need to be ready for this. It may be a great program, but it jumps right in and there's no canceling. Apparently, it is asking you which user profile you wish to migrate to from the profile you are using. It jumps right in, with no way to cancel, and you get no options. I had nothing connected and only one profile, so basically it overwrote itself I believe. I didn't see a listing of what it was doing & replacing in progress. I used Ctrl-Alt-Del to stop, but apparently it continued in background and shut off my machine automatically. When it restarted it said it was updating all my apps. Ok, well I made it back, and I will remember its potential usefulness. I just hope that people don't get caught off-guard. I actually tried this as the freeware version, Transwiz, but I believe the caution still holds true.
