We have been migrating one-off users to new Windows 10 workstations. We already use MDT 2013 Update 2 do a Windows 10 OS deployment to the brand new PCs and then deliver the new box to the user's desks. We then help them manually back up some of their most critical app settings and data from their old Windows 7 machines, copy the info to a network share (such as their redirected Documents folder and then restore the settings to their new Windows 10 machines.
Now we are ready to do a mass migration from Windows 7 to Windows and this hand holding will be way too labor intensive. We need to be able to just swap the hardware and have everything ready to go so we can quickly move to the next user's machine.
We have never used the USMT tool, but we would like to start now. We need to capture the user's data and custom app and profile settings from the old system, have it uploaded to a network share and have MDT capture this data and load it into the user's new profile on the replacement PC during the task sequence.
We don't want to capture *everything* from their old systems because that will include junk such as Start Menu and taskbar shortcuts for apps that will not be installed on the new workstation and documents that don't need to be captured because they are already located in redirected folders.
This is what we need to capture:
Mapped printers
Office/Outlook 2010 settings, ribbon customizations, email signatures, autocomplete, Rules etc..
User data stored in on their local disk's data partion (excluding pst and mp3 files).
Desktop wallpaper.
LOB application personalized settings located in the following locations:
1. Named folders in the user's appdata directory.
2. Registry keys related to these apps in the user's regsitry HKCU
3. INI or other files used to store application customizations that may be located in specified paths in Windows or Program Files directories.
4. OBDC settings in control panel
In general, we will want most Windows and application customizations brought from the old PC except links to apps not installed on the new PC and data stored in local folders we already have redirected to network shares.
We don't want the Start Menu programs (All Apps etc.) directories to have any references to applications from the old computer that are not installed on the new computer. We also don't want shortcuts in the Taskbar brought over because they may either be broken links or redundant links.
Is this something we can set up in a OSD Task Sequence on short notice?
How is this done?
