We have one TS running on Windows 2000. There are over 200 TS users. We are planning to migrate it to Windows 2008 R2. What's the easy way to migrate the roaming profile? Base on this article

Generally, user profiles that you create for users in Windows 2000, ... Server  2003 roaming user profile on Windows Vista or on Windows Server2008. ...  These methods migrate the roaming profile data to the new Version 2 user profile  format ...

There are two methods to migrate roaming profile. "Method 2: Use the Folder Redirection feature to share data between Version 1 and Version 2 user profiles" doesn't "migrate the desktop settings and preferences such as wallpaper because of the differences in the operating systems". That isn't for us.

"Method 1: Use the User State Migration Tool to migrate profile data to the new format (Windows Vista Only)" is recommend that you the User State Migration Tool (USMT) to migrate profile data in the following scenarios:

  • You do not use roaming user profiles or folder redirection.
  • You want to enable a more full-featured migration of user profile data from Windows 2000-based or from Windows XP-based systems to Windows Vista-based systems.

Note The User State Migraton Tool will not function on Windows Server 2008. 

So the method 1 doesn't work. Any suggestions?
