What Is Novell ZENworks

Personality Migration?

Novell®ZENworks®Personality Migration is part of the Novell ZENworks Configuration

Management product line.

A personality is a collection of applications and system settings that a user commonly uses on a

device. Typical settings can be desktop wallpaper, e-mail account settings, browser proxy settings,

files and folders, archived e-mails, Microsoft office templates, Microsoft Office macros, etc.

ZENworks Personality Migration provides a way to automate this process, both on a standalone

device or from a centrally managed console. The process significantly reduces the time and effort

required in setting up or reconfiguring a desktop for users. This is particularly useful while

provisioning new desktops and applications.

ZENworks Personality Migration allows you to store the personality of a Windows* user and

migrate the personality to another Windows user. For enterprise-scale migrations, you can use

ZENworks Configuration Management to distribute Directive bundles to store and apply personality

settings to the users.

The Personality Migration utility is provided with ZENworks Configuration Management. For more

information on installing the utility, see Chapter 2, “Installing ZENworks Personality Migration,” on

page 11.

The utility allows you to:

Store the personality of one or more users on a Windows device to a compressed and password-

protected personality file.

Apply the personality settings from a personality file to a Windows desktop.

Directly migrate the personality data from the desktops of one or more users on a Windows

device to the users on another Windows device without any intermediate file, if the two devices

are interconnected.

Review the following sections:

Section 1.1, “Migrating User Accounts,” on page 9

Section 1.2, “Migrating System Settings,” on page 10

Section 1.3, “Migrating Applications,” on page 10

Section 1.4, “Migrating Files and Folders,” on page 10

1.1 Migrating User Accounts

ZENworks Personality Migration allows you to migrate the user profiles for the user who has logged

on to the device, or for multiple users. You can select the local users or domain users whose

personalities you want to migrate. You can also map the users to apply the personalities. You can

apply these personalities to a single user or multiple users.
