Windows 7 Upgrade Questions for office setting.
Hello:
In a couple of months, we will be upgrading existing machines in the office to Windows 7 Pro. One of the problems we are running into of course is what to do with the existing Windows profiles, meaning, how do we get them back on the existing machines that we are putting 7 onto? We will be upgrading them by pushing out a computer image with the OS and all the programs they need.
The idea of backing up user profiles to a NAS, external HD, or the like sickens me, just due to the fact that I don't want to spend hours and hours waiting for files to backup to such a device when I know that the majority of that crap is iTunes, games, etc and not work related documents.
Frankly, my gameplan is to say "You want your non work stuff, back it up yourself at your expense" but with 100 users, I know I'm going to get some flak for that.
Any ideas on how to get that profile info onto the existing machines without taking forever?
