Windows 10 migration

I've never seen domain issues limit a user's ability to right click.
... PEBCAK issue maybe?

@DustinB3403 Doesn't have any issues when not that user.
If I didn't see it with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it. But it is there, no action on the keyboard or mouse.

So this system was on the old domain, removed before the old domain was decommissioned, and joined to the new domain.
The user logs in with their account, and loses all input functionality...

Yes.

Do you have any remote administration software? Do your inputs work when you use it? If so, try reinstalling the mouse/keyboard drivers. What does the Windows 10 migration have to do with this problem? I may have missed something

How did you get the old profile into the new profile on the new domain?

Windows 10 Migration might have been the wrong header to use. It is obviously more a profile issue than a migration issue. It is a PS2 mouse and keyboard.

Standard Copy/Paste - Copy from old profile to a folder on the C drive named Old Profile. Removed from Domain, reboot, add to domain, reboot, log in as user, logout, log in as domain admin, give user local admin rights, reboot, log in as domain admin and copy profile to new user profile.

yeah - that's your problem - that won't work. The files have internal permissions that aren't simply part of the file system permissions. You have to do an import/export to make things work correctly.
If you were staying on the same domain, then you MIGHT have gotten lucky with something like that because SIDs and other identifiers would be the same, but that's not the case here.
User state migration tools would have definitely been the better way to go.
At this point, I think you should backup their documents, favorites, etc, then wipe out that profile and have them create a new one, then copy the files over you want to save into that profile.

Perfect. This is mid testing so I only have one profile to redo

What tools are out there to assist with this? Does USMT even exist anymore?

yes it does, google it, you should find it.

Unless I am missing something it appears to work from PC to PC what if I am not going from PC to PC?

Well, but you kinda are. You're going from a PC on one domain to a PC on another domain, the fact that the machine is the same doesn't really matter.
But if you're looking for a way to test it, Create the USMT to some network location, then go to a machine that is already on the new Domain, then import the USMT into that profile. If that works, I would expect nothing different when doing that on the same PC.
Also, before you dejoin and rejoin the PC, create an Image using something like Clonezilla - that will allow you to image back to pre dejoined situation.

Didn't think of it that way. Thanks Dash.

How did testing go yesterday?

Haven't gotten there yet. Have about 4 irons in the fire and really have to finish two before I move forward with the domain cutover. I can't do anything until July 5 anyway.
