Windows 10: How to Remove Win 10 from domain and make domain user profile into a local user profile?

Hi,


I have an environment with 10 clients that run Windows 10 Pro and I have a Synology DS918+ that runs as a Domain ControllerSynology Directory Server just as Active Directory.


The clients have been joined to the domain and there exists domain users that have and use roamin profiles.


I now would like to disable the usage of a Domain Controller and the domain users, but I do want to create local user accounts on each Windows 10 Pro client and make sure that the corresponding Domain Users Profile are copied over to the newly locally created user account in order to keep all files and settings.


How do I accomplish this is the correct and best way?


Thanks in advance for a quick response!

Migrate Locale Profile to Domain

I removed my reply because watching those instructions on TechNet I started wondering if they really work with Windows 10.

Anyway, whatever you try create first a dummy profile, customize it a bit and move it to domain. If everything works, you can then move real profiles.

 

Start menu does not open after migrating a local user profile to domain profile

Hi there,

We have a small office environment: 5 WIN10 computers so far with local user accounts and freshly deployed WS2016 with a domain. I am in the process of preparing to migrate local user profiles to their domain counterparts - all
on local computers.

I have followed the profile migration procedure described here: Migrate local user profile to domain profile

After completing the procedure and logging in locally to the domain user account - with a former local user's profile path linked to the domain user profile in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\SID\ProfileImagePath,
it turned out that the Start menu does not open. The same when I re-log in as a local user.

I tried then to reset the domain user's profile path to its original location (i.e. without settings of the local user I wanted to migrate) in the registry to learn that:

- after logging in to the domain user, the Start menu works correctly,

- after logging in to the local user, the Start menu it does not work.

Does anyone has an idea of what went wrong and how to correct it? Thx in advance!

 

Migrate Locale Profile to Domain

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know how to migrate a local profile to a domain profile without software? I have some Windows 10 computers that are setup as workgroups, but we need to move them to the company domain. I want to ensure that users don't lose their files, settings, etc. Thanks in advance.
