    Configuring USMT 4.0 for Configuration Manager – Part 1

    1
    By Ronni Pedersen on September 10, 2009 Uncategorized

    If you want to migrate settings and data when migration from Windows XP or Windows Vista to Windows 7, you need to use the User State Migration Toolkit 4.0 (USMT). USMT is a free download that is part of the Windows Automated Installation Kit (Windows AIK or WAIK) for Windows 7. Windows AIK for Windows 7 is included in Configuration Manager 2007 SP2 RC, so if you’ve installed Service Pack 2, you don’t need to download and install Windows AIK.

    The Windows AIK for Windows 7 can be downloaded here:

    In previous versions of USMT, you needed to create both a package for 32-bit and 64-bit Operating Systems, and there was no really "nice" way of dealing with a clients in mixed environments. That has changed with version 4.0. Now we only need to create a single package.

    Creating the USMT Package

    When Windows WAIK is installed on site server, it’s pretty straight forward to create the package.

    In the Configuration Manager console of the primary site server, navigate to System Center Configuration Manager / Site Database / Computer Management / Software Distribution / Packages.

    Right-click Packages, click New, and then click Package to launch the New Package Wizard.

    image

    Fill in the Name, Version, Manufacturer and Language details of the product.

    Name: User State Migration Toolkit

    Version: 4.0

    Manufacture: Microsoft

    Language: ENU

    Click Next.

    Select This package contains source files, and click Set…

    Optional: Select the Enable binary differential replication checkbox to enable replication of only changed package content.

    Select Local drive on site server, and click Browse…

    image

    Select C:Program FilesWindows AIKToolsUSMT, and click OK.

    Notice that this folder contains both an amd64 and a x86 folder.

    image

    Click OK.

    image

    Click Finish, to go the package creation summary page.

    image

    Review the summary page and click Next.

    Click Close, to exit the wizard.

    Replicating the USMT Package to distribution point(s)

    image

    In the Configuration Manager console of the primary site server, navigate to System Center Configuration Manager / Site Database / Computer Management / Software Distribution / Packages.

    image

    Expand packages, and right-click the USMT package and click Manage Distribution Points to launch the Manage Distribution Points Wizard.

    Click Next.

    image

    Select Copy the package to new distribution points, and click Next.

    image

    In the list of available distribution points, select all distribution points that should have a replica of the package.

    Click Next.

    image

    Click Next.

    image

    Click Close.

    This completes the first part of "Configuring USMT 4.0 for Configuration Manager". The next part will explain to install and configure a State Migration Point, and how to use the package to migrate settings and files.
