Migrate User Settings

You can capture the user profiles and settings of a system before the reimaging process begins.

The Migrate User Settings capability captures multiple user profile directories from a system about to be reimaged. In most cases, the profile data stays on the migrated system. However, if the system does not have sufficient disk space to duplicate the migrated profiles, the data might overflow to a "USM Overflow Location" (SMB) and be restored to the system after the image task is complete. To avoid filling up your available storage on the specified USM Overflow location, perform multiple migrations.

Note that by adding these values in the LoadStateArgs parameter, the restored users that were disabled in the source operating system (and that do not already exist in the image you are deploying) will be enabled in the final operating system. For more information about editing parameter values for capturing (ScanStateArgs) and restoring (LoadStateArgs) user settings in the Manual tab, see the documentation at the following links: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749015%28v=ws.10%29.aspx (ScanState) and http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766226%28v=ws.10%29.aspx (LoadState).

User State Migration behavior and capabilities might vary based on the original operating system, new operating system, or amount of storage space.
