Personality Migration
As an IT Administrator, how do you handle Backing Up and Restoring of User Profiles from machine to machine? If a user is receiving a new workstation, how do you get their profiles from their old machine to their new machine? How do you handle PST and OST file backups? After you have backed up their data, how do you make their desktop look the same as it was on their original machine? These are common problems facing IT departments everyday and the common theme everywhere is, how do I restore a profile and make sure everything looks the same as it did before.
WinINSTALL solves the challenges of Personality Migration is as follows:
- WinINSTALL give the administrator the ability to backup persistent settings for a number of different applications, including Internet Favorite and proxy settings, Office 97-2007 settings, toolbars in Adobe Professional and Reader, and much more.
- WinINSTALL, from a single template can backup Application settings, file types, desktop shortcuts, file options, printers, power management settings, mapped drives, and more; and restore that data to a single or multiple machines.
- WinINSTALL allows an IT administrator to leverage PXE to install an Operating System and then restore the user’s profile back to the machine using Personality Transfer or they can take and migrate a profile from a user’s current machine and restore it a new desktop or laptop while the user is working.
- WinINSTALL also allows the IT Administrator to exclude certain file types from being backed up, which can prove very valuable in environments where Users are not locked down and massive amounts of mp3 files or videos are being store locally.
