Hi Michael

Some considerations…

You can run USMTGUI from a USB hard disk, and place the User profile backups on it as well, thus minimizing the necessary space on the disks..
However, you are in a bit of a squeeze as you either have to:
1. Delete the local profile prior to restoring or
2. have both the local one and the Domain profile side by…[Read more]

I think I figured it out:

In the top of the MigApp.xml file, line 11 to line 40, conditions for the
%HklmWowSoftware% variable is set.

If on a 64bit PC, it is set to point to
HKLMSOFTWAREWow6432Node
and USMT will look in
HKLMSOFTWAREWow6432NodeMozillaMozilla Firefox

But IF you have a 64bit Firefox installed, it is NOT there.
It will be…[Read more]

Hi Xing

In my MigApp.xml, see XML reference files (just updated) I have removed the Detection, as it sometimes fails.

Try downloading and have a look at MigApp at line 6979 to 6984 (use Notepad++)

Hi Wei

For each component, ScanState checks the type of the component.
If the current user profile is the system profile and the component type is “System” or “UserAndSystem”, the component is selected for this user. Otherwise, the component is ignored.

Alternatively, if the current user profile is not the system profile and the compone…[Read more]

Hi Mike 🙂
Yes, brilliant. Much better than deleting it.

I’ve run a few tests and it works really well.

In case you use Roaming profiles and want the data placed correctly on the new domain (perhaps even from a profile backed up from a PC running an older Windows version) it will happen automatically, when restoring the profile to the Win10 PC.

Data will be placed locally but when you login the first time, and it is detected that the profile is…[Read more]

Hi
You can always use USMT by hand as is the tool Config Manager use..
You can even do it remotely. – See a good example here at Spiceworks...

However that is equally tiresome.

You do not mention if you talk about 50 PC’s or 5000. I’d consider just doing it manually with USMTGUI as part of the process when you reimage them. We did that on 6000…[Read more]

Hi Gina
Fun to see you here and thanks for the nice words at, I think, more than one occasion.

FIRST: DO NOT JOIN the PC’s to the new domain or disconnect them..

OK, All you need to do is the following:
1. Power down the PC and disconnect it from network.
2. Turn it on and it will think the Domain is OK, itself just being offline.
– Hence…[Read more]

Yes you’re right.
The attention has been brought to me by a customer, Mike Sobol, and the issue stems from the conditions set for the migration.
In some scenarios they do not comply, although all checks indicate they should.

Solution
What is needed is to remove the migration [Conditions] on Firefox and Chrome in MigApp.xml

Somewhere around line…[Read more]
