Thanks for quick reply! I am using the built in steps, but the shared directory on SMP is empty. Thanks for the note, but I am not using the combination of the methods. I must do something wrong. My steps are these: Request state store Capture User Files And Settings (with USMT4) Release state store Install OS System (restart in win pe, partition disk, apply os, apply windows settings, apply network settings) setup Config manager Restore User Files and Settings Thanks again for the help.

Thanks for great samples - my hardlinking works great, but I Cannot make it work with SMP. Is there a minimalist TS ? I have my Win 7 deployment TS working. All I need is to Migrate the data. I thought I can - capture existing machine with USMT4 to SMP - Deploy 7 - restore settings /files from SMP Could you tell me where I am wrong? Thanks!

Hello, I have the problem you are describing in the last paragraph. If I add a machine to a collection and initiate update collection membership. the machine will not show up even after long time and the hourglass is still there. The only option is to restart the box and then the membership is updated(or I did not fin anything better - some service or ConfigMgr Service). could you please point me where to look for an error? Thanks!
