Migration to [UserProfile]\Application Data Directory

If you have chosen to migrate your profiles from your previous profile directory to the [UserProfile]\Application Data directory, migration levels 1, 2, and 3 are available to you. The migration levels function as follows:
Level 1
Desktop icons are migrated. This is the lowest level of migration.
Level 2
  • Desktop icons are migrated.
  • System-class profiles are migrated from the previous profile directory to the All Users\Application Data directory.
Level 3 (Recommended)
  • Desktop icons are migrated.
  • System-class profiles are migrated.
  • User-class profiles are migrated from the previous profile directory to the [UserProfile]\Application Data directory. As each new user logs on to the workstation, the user-class profiles associated with that user are migrated until all user-class profiles are copied into the [UserProfile] directory.
