OSD Video Tutorial: Part 9 – Standalone USMT

First published on TECHNET on Jul 27, 2018
This session is part nine of an ongoing series focusing on Operating System Deployment in Configuration Manager. This session discusses the User State Migration Tool that is used to migrate User State Data during imaging. The specific focus is on the tool itself, what it does, how it is used and scenarios for us. The goal of this session is to understand the standalone tool so that a later session discussion can turn to how User State Migration is integrated into Configuration Manager.

The video linked below was prepared by Steven Rachui, a Principal Premier Field Engineer focused on manageability technologies.



This is the last tutorial in the OSD Introduction series.  Join us for the OSD Deeper Dive series next where Steve starts with a look at task sequence variables.
