Note:
* Step One: Plan Your Migration
Step Two: Collect Files and Settings from the Source Computer
Back up the source computer.

Close all applications.

Run the ScanState command on the source computer to collect files and settings.You should specify all

of the xml files that you want the ScanState command to use.For example,scanstate \\server\migration
\mystore /config:config. xml /i:migdocs. xml /i:migapp. xml /v:13 /l:scan. log Step Three: Prepare the Destination Computer and Restore Files and Settings Install the operating system on the destination computer.

Install all applications that were on the source computer. Although it is not always required, we

recommend installing all applications on the destination computer before you restore the user state.
This makes sure that migrated settings are preserved.
Close all applications. If some applications are running when you run the LoadState command, USMT

might not migrate all of the specified data.
Run the LoadState command on the destination computer. Specify the same set of . xml files that you

specified when you used the ScanState command.For example, the following command migrates the files and settings:loadstate \\server\migration\mystore /config:config. xml /i:migdocs. xml /i:migapp. xml / v:13 /l:load. log
Log off after you run the LoadState command. Some settings (for example, fonts, wallpaper, and

screen saver settings) will not take effect until the next time that the user logs on.
* USMT includes two tools that migrate settings and data: ScanState and LoadState. ScanState collects information from the source computer, and LoadState applies that information to the destination computer.
* USMT 5. 0 includes a set of three modifiable . xml files:
/MigApp. xml
/MigDocs. xml
/MigUser. xml
MigUser. xml. Specify this file on both command lines to migrate user folders, files, and file types to computers running both Windows XP and Windows Vista.
* If your data set is unknown or if many files are stored outside of the standard user-profile folders, the MigDocs. xml is a better choice than the MigUser. xml file, because the MigDocs. xml file will gather a broader scope of data. The MigDocs. xml file migrates folders of data based on location. The MigUser. xml file migrates only the fileswith the specified file extensions.
* The User State Migration Tool (USMT) 5. 0 migrates user files and settings during large deployments of Windows. To improve and simplify the migration process, USMT captures desktop, network, and application settings in addition to a user's files. USMT then migrates these items to a new Windows installation.
