Migrating user state
The User State Migration Tool (USMT) is used to transfer user state and data during OS deployment. You can save user state to the local disk (when performing an in-place upgrade) or to a CM State Migration Point (when migrating a user to a different computer.)
Getting ready
You must have a package for USMT source files. Create a new package, and specify the source location for USMT. USMT is contained in the Windows Automated Installation Kit
