TechNet Events Presents:
TechNet Unleashed: The Microsoft Virtualization Tour
Join our TechNet IT Evangelists as they hit the road again this fall to bring you the highlights of Microsoft’s great virtualization solutions. We’ll go from the desktop to the enterprise, starting with VHD native boot – a new feature for Windows® 7 and Windows Server® 2008 R2. Next, we’ll move into Windows XP mode, Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V™, and finish with System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM).
AGENDA
VHD Native Boot We’ll kick off the afternoon by exploring VHD Native Boot, which is a new feature for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. VHD Native Boot can be used as the running operating system on designated hardware – without a parent operating system, virtual machine, or hypervisor. This is one of the best virtualization features to date for technology professionals of every kind – from enterprise to small and medium-size business pros and consultants.
Windows XP Mode With Windows XP Mode, it’s easy to install and run multiple Windows XP productivity applications directly from your Windows 7-based PC. Do you have application compatibility issues? Windows XP Mode can ease those compatibility headaches, because it gives you the best of both worlds. You can easily run older Windows XP business software – including web applications that require an old version of Internet Explorer® – while taking advantage of the many benefits of your Windows 7 desktop. This is a can’t-miss session for IT pros who juggle both new and established software and web applications.
Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V It’s time to focus on enterprise with an overview of Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V. In this session, we’ll look at how to create virtual machines in Hyper-V and demonstrate how the snapshot feature can easily revert the virtual machine to a previous state. You’ll come away from this session with a sold understanding of all the capabilities and new features in Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V.
System Center Virtual Machine Manager Finally, no virtualization discussion is complete without a conversation about management. When it comes to managing virtual infrastructures, System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 (SCVMM) is the best of the best. This member of the System Center family of system management products provides a straightforward, cost-effective solution for unified management of physical and virtual machines.

How To Migrate User Accounts
By default all users are migrated. The only way to specify which users to include and exclude is on the command line using the User options. You cannot specify users in the migration .xml files or using Config.xml.
To migrate all user accounts and user settings
- Log on to the source computer as an administrator, and specify:
scanstate \\fileserver\migration\mystore /i:miguser.xml /i:migapp.xml /o
- Log on to the destination computer as an administrator.
- Do one of the following:
- If you are migrating domain accounts, specify:
loadstate \\fileserver\migration\mystore /i:miguser.xml /i:migapp.xml
- If you are migrating local accounts along with domain accounts, specify:
loadstate \\fileserver\migration\mystore /i:miguser.xml /i:migapp.xml /lac /lae
Note |
| You do not have to specify /lae. This option enables the account that was created with /lac. Instead, you can create a disabled local account by only specifying /lac, but then a local administrator will need to enable the account on the destination computer. |
To migrate two domain accounts (User1 and User2)
- Log on to the source computer as an administrator, and specify:
scanstate \\fileserver\migration\mystore /ue:*\* /ui:domain1\user1 /ui:domain2\user2 /i:miguser.xml /i:migapp.xml /o
- Log on to the destination computer as an administrator.
- Specify the following:
loadstate \\fileserver\migration\mystore /i:miguser.xml /i:migapp.xml
To migrate two domain accounts (User1 and User2) and move User1 from the FarEast domain to the FarWest domain
- Log on to the source computer as an administrator, and specify:
scanstate \\fileserver\migration\mystore /ue:*\* /ui:fareast\user1 /ui:fareast\user2 /i:miguser.xml /i:migapp.xml /o
- Log on to the destination computer as an administrator.
- Specify the following:
loadstate \\fileserver\migration\mystore /mu:fareast\user1:farwest\user2 /i:miguser.xml /i:migapp.xml
