In case you didn't know there is also a command line version of Profile Migrator. It provides the same functions as the GUI version, but is more useful for automating migrations.If you want to find out, what exactly the command line version can do for you, open an elevated command prompt and switch to the folder where Profile Migrator is installed.
Default(x86):"C:\Program Files\sepago\Profile Migrator"
Default(x64):"C:\Program Files (x86)\sepago\Profile Migrator"

cd %your_path_to_the_pm_installation%

Now just type in PMCommand and you will get back all available parameters with a short description. In the screenshot below you see a sample of the output.

Let's do another example on our own:

Migration of one profile without a migration project, target path same as source path, on conflict overwrite and write the output into a specified logfile.

PMCommand.exe -Directory:\\Server\Share\Profiles\User -DefaultProfile:\\TargetMachine\c$\Users\Default -UseSourcePath -ConflictHandling:overwrite -Logfile:\\Server\Share\Logfiles\User.log
