Moving Roaming User Profiles files to another Server using WSMT

I have tried using "robocopy" and even Windows backup to transfer roaming user profiles (RUP). There would be surely files that I couldn't move due to file permission and ownership preservation. In WS2012, there is a built-in Windows Server Migration Tool (WSMT) to facilitate the file transfer (including server roles).

Here are the steps in summary (click this link for full Technet guide):

Step 1: Install WSMT

Install WSMT feature using server manager on the target WS2012 server.  

Step 2: Register and deploy WSMT

Start an elevated cmd prompt from the WSMT tool. Create a deployment folder that is accessible to the source server. Depending on the OS of the source server, an example of the command for WS2012 (default on "C:\Windows\System32\ServerMigrationTools\") would be: 

SmigDeploy.exe /package /architecture amd64 /os WS12 /path [deployment folder path]

Copy the deployment folder to the source computer. Register and deploy the source computer by running .\Smigdeploy.exe

Step 3: Move local users and groups

To preserve local permissions, you may need to move the local users and group first. To export from the source computer: 

Export-SmigServerSetting -User All -Group -Path [storepath\UsersGroups] -Verbose

To import into the target server:

 Import-SmigServerSetting -User All -Group -Path -Verbose

Step 4: Start file moving

Before moving, permit both UDP 7000 and TCP 7000 on the windows firewall. On the target computer, start the reciever:

Receive-SmigServerData 

To begin file transferring, run the following WSMT cmdlet on the source computer 

Send-SmigServerData -ComputerName [DestinationServer] -SourcePath d:\users -DestinationPath d:\shares\users -Recurse -Include All -Force 

You may want to observe any errors at the progression update on the command prompt.
