WMA only allows you to migrate the same user (or multiple users) from one machine to another. I don’t think it’s possible with USMT to migrate from one profile to another. Since WMA expects you to login as the same user on both machines, it’s not able to find the datastore since it’s looking for your previous user details.

It IS possible to move profiles on the same machine however, with the Microsoft MoveUser tool (for XP) or using WMI’s Win32_UserProfile (for Vista). Google should have a few articles on how to use these.

Hope this helps.

I edit the migrationnetworklocation which appears to be the only place to enter a local path too – i enter c:\restore and it does nto find the datastore – i am trying to take the profile from one account then log on as another and overwrite it – as you can do with the files and settings transer wizrd.. however when i select the location of the datastore and try and restore it just says

unable to find migration datastore fro the current user.

Any help?
