Another Typo

SuperGrate/SuperGrate/Main.Designer.cs

Line 413 in b58d947

this.helpProvider.SetHelpString(this.tbDestinationComputer, "Enter the source computer hostname. This is where the user profiles will be migra" +

This line is in reference to the Destination Computer Text Box, the help message on the above line should say "Destination" not "Source"

Documentation Missing Info

There should be more info in the documents on how to delete a profile from a remote computer and from the store.

File Logging: Enable Log Saving.

Enable Log Saving, and auto log saving.

Add non domain support.

Verify / add non-domain joined PC support.

Add Option: Auto Delete if Full Migration

Amazing Project

I want to thank you for this amazing project.
I am looking forward to downgrading the .NET framework to 4.5 to make this tool compatible with Windows WinPE and use USMT Offline migration, I have some experience with C#.

Thanks,

Non-Domain computer accounts not enabled by default.

When a profile is restored on a non-joined PC, the user is not enabled after a restore.

Fatal Error (Blank XML (Then list store))

Context Menu Bug

Describe the bug
Context menu not updating start button based on current filled in values.

Screenshots

Remove System Accounts from Source List

Remove users like these from the list:

Add Drop Down Menu's

File Menu's and what not and menu's to change Super Grate options.

Add profile path column in Source tab, and SID column in Store tab.

Add profile path column in Source tab, and SID column in Store tab.

1.3.0.0 - To Do List.

• Re-evaluate why size calculating takes so long compared to the "System Properties" -> "User Profiles" window.
• Polish up context icons (highlight icon on hover).
• Finish comments / documentation.
• Evaluate when to show a progress in the progress bar or a marquee.
• Add IP address checking, localhost, and 127.0.0.1 to this method: Misc.cs
• Make save / save log in general run async.
• Only write everything to the store after the user is uploaded (staging folder?)
• Get
  from registry.

Typo in Classes/USMT.cs

Lines 35 and 39 both read if(DetectedArch == Misc.OSArchitecture.X64), meaning that USMTPath will not be set if the machine is 32-bit.

Error on list.

Weird error happens when trying to list users with size column sometimes.

Fatal Error (Blank Store Path)

Fatal Error (Listing with illegal characters)

Remote Profile Deleting

Allow super grate to remotely delete user profiles.

File Save Permissions Issue (Settings Menu)

Auto Download Failure Leaves Residue

Super Grate should clean up after a failed download so it can try again next time, currently it creates the USMT folder and quits, but that fools Super Grate into thinking it actually downloaded next time it runs.

Auto-Disable Sleep Mode

Automatically disable sleep on remote PC's / Host PC when running.

Resize issue.

Resizing after moving divider causes elements to disappear into the void.

Add support for user-renaming.

Add support for the below in some sort of fashion.

Non-Domain PC - SIDs are the same.

Somehow handle this, and somehow keep multiple PCs from advertising the names in the store as being the same name.

Auto Download USMT if missing.

Download USMT from Git Hub if needed.

Create an agent for calculating profile size.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Calculating user profile size over a network connection takes ages.

Describe the solution you'd like
Create an agent that is pushed to the remote machine, calculate the profile locally, then retrieve the results.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Multi threading the calculation process, but may be hard to do.

Replace List Box with List View

Replace the List Box with a List View with the following columns:

Source Computer:

• User Name
• Last Logon
• Domain

Store:

• User Name
• Source Computer
• Time Stamp
• Domain

Warn about missing USMT

Check for USMT on startup and warn the user.

Fatal Error (Store Permissions)

Detect Chip Architecture

When running SuperGrate with 32-bit against a 64-bit system, an error is given "32-bit process on a 64-bit system is not supported". Please add feature to detect if 32-bit of 64-bit version of USMT is being used.

Finish & Polish installer / uninstaller

DumpLogHereOnExit (Still needs implemented)

Full-migrations not working correctly.

Describe the bug
A source to destination "in one step" migration is not working right.

To Reproduce
Enter Source & Destination, click "List Source", select a user, click "Start".

Expected behavior
A migration of the user from source to destination.

Additional context
Super Grate is looking for the stored user by SID, instead of by "Store GUID".

Canceling a Log Save drops this:

Provide Option to change where USMT will build the MIG file

Add the following logic:

• If Super Grate's store is local ".\STORE"
• AND if Super Grate's running scanstate on the local machine
• Build the MIG file directly to the .\STORE and skip the copy stuff: Also running USMT from the local .\USMT folder instead of copying it as well.

Auto-Enable Remote Registry Service

Ensure remote registry is enabled when running.

Remote Delete Bug

Describe the bug
After deleting remote account, super grate for some reason doesn't list the users after deleting.

To Reproduce

1. List source of any computer.
2. Delete profile off remote computer.

Add parameter to LoadState.exe

Add the /lac parameter to the LoadState.exe step by default in the XML. This parameter allows profiles to be created if they don't exist.

Delete from source when transfered to store. Option

Crash if listing empty store.

Describe the bug
SG Crashes if listing empty store.

To Reproduce
Open fresh Super Grate install. Click on "List Store"

IP Address: Not Resolving

Describe the bug
If an IP address is placed in the "Source Computer" or "Destination Computer"
Super Grate doesn't resolve the computer name for the Store.

Screenshots

Incorrect architecture detection.

Describe the bug
The function Misc::GetRemoteArch uses WMI's Win32_OperatingSystem class to detect computer's architecture.
Unfortunately the OSArchitecture property can be localized (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/cimwin32prov/win32-operatingsystem), leading to unexpected values being returned.

To Reproduce
Run SuperGrate on a localized version of Windows (I've tested on a French installation of Windows Server 2008 R2).
Select some accounts, click on start.
Watch the migration fails (it won't be able to find USMT path due to unhandled architecture string, ie: USMT::USMTPath returns null).

Expected behavior
Account migration starting.

Prevent this exception.

Non Domain Remote Support

All users fail SID lookup if remote computer is on a different domain or if the running machine is not joined to a domain, but the target is.

Source Computer User Delete

Describe the bug
Deleting a user fails when trying to list.

To Reproduce
Delete a user from a remote source.

• Change the user-list icons in the store depending on weather or not a profile was ever restored.
• Add confirmation to delete users!

Typo

WMI Issues

If there is a WMI issue, this error may appear, the fix is below. Can this possibly be run automagically?

Pressing enter on source computer input.

Allow the source computer input to press "list source" on enter key.

Take out CRTL+C binding.

Can't copy and paste text when this is bound to closing the program.
