Do you use USMT?

[Martin Zugec]

USMT is tool for migrating user profiles. It is extremely valuable for administrators, because it is real time-saver. I really like this tool.

You can migrate many things - from favourites, documents to your RAS settings or printers.

It is quite hard for common user to control behavior, however it is extremely useful.

In my company I am automigrating profiles (e.g. PC is "marked" for reinstallation, it will automatically migrate user profiles, reinstall PC and then restore profile).

At home I am using my Xbox as middleware for profiles migration

P.S.: It is for free

BTW script for corporate admins:

[rjz]

Great. TY for fixing it. Will this also work from 2000 to xp or even xp to longhorn/server 2003?

[Martin Zugec]

It is specially useful for migrating from 9x to w2k/xp. I am using it when I migrate companies that use 9x wkstations...
