Migrating User Data

In many scenarios, such as when a computer is replaced with another or when a deployment is being used to refresh a

computer already in use, a user’s data must be backed up and then restored to the new environment. In these cases,
the User State Migration Tool (USMT) can make the process of transferring this data easy and simple. USMT is installed
as part of the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) and is integrated with both MDT and SCCM to
provide automation and management.

Migrating Data in Replace Scenarios

In replacement scenarios where a user is changing between devices and needs the data from the retiring device moved

to the replacement device, USMT can be used to back up the user’s data to the network and recover it on the new
computer. The initial backup of the user’s data can be performed manually with USMT, or can be performed with a task
sequence created from the Standard Client Replace Task Sequence template. To configure a replace task sequence to
be run on the retiring computer, follow these steps:

1. Launch the Deployment Workbench from the Start Screen.
2. Expand the deployment share and select the Task Sequences folder.
3. Click New Task Sequence in the Actions pane to launch the New Task Sequence Wizard.
4. The New Task Sequence Wizard presents the following steps:

General Settings – Specify a name, ID, and comments to identify the replace computer task sequence, then
click Next.

Select Template – Choose Standard Client Replace Task Sequence from the drop down menu and click
Next.
