      Since there is no official command of move-localuser in powershell. This is what i am trying to work using a pipeline but still it’s not working. So my goal is to move all user from one machine to another machine via PS command. Any idea??

      icm -ComputerName WIN-M8BRMLOP443 {Get-LocalUser } | icm -ComputerName Newstar {Set-LocalUser -WhatIf}

      What if: Performing the operation “Modify local user” on target “admin”.
      What if: Performing the operation “Modify local user” on target “Administrator”.
      What if: Performing the operation “Modify local user” on target “DefaultAccount”.
      What if: Performing the operation “Modify local user” on target “Guest”.

      You would just need to create each user there. Are you intending to change existing local users on the destination computer if they already exist?
