USMT hardlink folders in root of drive C:\

[oso]

Hi All, I'm helping my customer to prepare migration from XP to Win7 x86. I'm choose to take Offline hardlink migration using USMT 4.0 and SCCM SP2 R2,in my lab it working fine but the main problem is that client computers has following hard disk configuration, one physical drive 320 GB, c drive has about 100 gb and rest d 120. My plan is only wipe c drive and do scanstate of c drive. But problem is that users have lot off data on the root of c drive which is not in concordance with IT department policy, but this will be the big problem in migration scenario. I ned to make custom scanstate script to include this folders in migration. Please can you give me some advice how to do it? Does exist some sample example script somewhere?

By default USMT will migrate contents which are based on default xml files. What does USMT Migrate

If you dont want to use the deafult XML files due to large data or policy constrains,you can create one what to migrate using Customize USMT XML Files http://technet.micro...793(WS.10).aspx and http://blogs.technet...leshooting.aspx and scanstate Syntax http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749015(WS.10).aspx

 

Here is the tool to create xml files easily http://www.wintools.com.au/ (No xml knowledge required with this GUI )

 

This should give you some idea to start on.

Thanks Eswar I didn't realize that in my task sequence I didnt run migdocs.xml that was my problem.

 

But I have found that this default migdocs.xml will scan all drives I only need to scan C:\drive how to customize this?
