Adding existing computers to a new Domain and keeping files?

[Pulsedriver]

Hey folks, question I have regarding Domain's & existing computers.

Basically, I am putting a Windows 2016 server in an office, they currently have around 8 computers that are in place already and have been in use fine, with printers installed etc, and office 365 on the computers, with their own exchange account etc.

I am going to put the Windows server in, as a domain controller and add those 8 computers to the domain, ordinarily, fine, a few restarts and job done, but I wondered if there was any way of doing it so that I don't then have to sign on their new profile, install office (that part may not be needed as the programs likely remain) but things such as set up their email again etc, is there any way to 'migrate' the profile to the new domain profile?

Thanks in advance!

What you are looking for is Windows USMT - User state migration tool:
