Is anyone out there? Is there anything you'd like to see a blog post about? I can’t guarantee that we will answer your question but I can promise that we will try. Drop a comment and let us know.
Hi!
I'm USMT user, I try to use the following command to migrate XP to XP, but not just the login account was migrated, some other local accounts were copy to the intermediate storage, which cause the loadstate fail. please help on this, thanks!
scanstate o: /targetxp /i:migsys.xml /i:migapp.xml /i:miguser.xml /i:migabc.xml /o /c /v:13 /uel:0 /localonly /l:scan.log /efs:decryptcopy /nocompress
loadstate o: /i:migsys.xml /i:migapp.xml /i:miguser.xml /i:migabc.xml /c /v:13 /uel:0 /l:load.log /nocompress
And one more thing is some users will encounter the duplicate files in target PC, just like source PC has abc.bmp file, after the migration, then target PC will get abc.bmp and abc(1).bmp. do you have any idea?
Wouldn't mind seeing some information posted about best practice around config.xml and how to understand the components in the manifest dll files. ie. some of the titles are not clear for users who are starting out with automated migrations.
I would like to have a library of custom.xml fragments, from where I can choose snippets to migrate applications, which are not covered by default.
E.g. the user templates of Word 2000 are not migrated be default.
I second the comment about config.xml. Does it help reduce scan times? When would it be best to use it?
I would like to see some information on when and how conditions are processed. I have had a few cases where different version of software was used and files needed to be migrated during a reimage.
RelativeMove works and this is easy to do. However, I have run into some cases where you do not know the version of the software that will be installed after the reimage and software install. USMT does not seem to process condition statements on the loadstate only on the scanstate?
Could you give us some insight in to why printers are not migrated from xp to xp and any thoughts on best practices for doing so? I also would like to see more information about config.xml. Other than that I'd like to offer my thanks for an excellent tool.
I would LOVE to see a repository for USMT. Sample XML configs, custom scripts, batch files, etc. I believe that he community would benefit so much from this. I know that I have struggled with the documentation and if I saw some sample configs that accomplished similar tasks that I wished to accomplish, it would be a major help. It can also benefit others by saving a ton of time. If someone has already created and posted a the XML for migrating an application you need to migrate, then you just saved a few minutes (or hours!) work.
