ConfigMgr 2012 R2 - XP to 7 with USMT hardlinks

Recommended Posts

Hello folks,

 

SCCM 2012 R2 seems to have thrown a curveball for XP to Win 7 migrations that leverage USMT. I have the TS working with a WinPE3.1 boot image, but am struggling to find what versions of USMT I need to use to get USMT in place migration to work. I have a freshly installed (not upgraded from an older version) 2012 R2 environment, on Server 2012 R2. SQL is collocated on the site server. No CAS. I've been scouring this site and the internet in general for the USMT versions needed to perform an XP to 7 image while keeping the user data on the drive (I believe it's called hardlinking).

 

My questions:

What version of USMT package do I need for both the scanstate and the loadstate. I _believe_ that I need v4 from the WAIK (vs the ADK 8 or ADK 8.1)?

Do I use the same version for capturing user data as I do for the restoration of the data? (or would I use the ADK 8.1 USMT package for restore)?

 

While writing this post, I found this thread, which is for 2012 SP1. http://gerryhampsoncm.blogspot.com/2013/05/sccm-2012-sp1-step-by-step-guide-part.html\

A poster had commented that this no longer works in R2. Does anyone know if this is the case? (I will be trying it tomorrow at work but wanted to ensure that I got these questions up first).

 

Thank you for any input you may have.
