How to use a generated Config.xml in SCCM (USMT 4.0)

[Terence]

Hello All,

 

I am wanting us a generated Config.xml does anyone have experience of using this in SCCM. I have seen three options on the forums but i am not sure which one actually works.

 

/config:config.xml (This doesn't seem to work,some posts say that it looks for the file in the windows folder)

/config:\\server\SMSPKGE$\CEN0007\config.xml (point directly to a DP)

/config:%_SMSTSCEN0007%x86\config.xml (point to a the USMT package)

 

If anyone has actually done this can you let me which option i should use.

 

thanks in advance

I haven't been able to sucessfully get it to work. I typically just copy the stock files and modify as needed.

 

The issue is always the path and ensuring that path works for all scenarios, which is next to impossible.

Crap i was hoping people wouldnt say that.

 

Anyone else have the same experience?

Saw this thread when trying to find a better way to do this. Thought I would add how I'm currently accomplishing this:

 

/config:"%_SMSTSMDataPath%\Packages\CDT003D1\%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%\config.xml"

 

I just reference the package ID that contains the USMT files. Been working like a charm for over a year now...just a pain when changing packages.

 

I set it as part of OSDMigrateAdditionalRestoreOptions on the Restore Settings. So, for hardlink it is as follows:

 

/nocompress /hardlink /config:"%_SMSTSMDataPath%\Packages\CDT003D1\%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%\config.xml"

 

Hope this helps someone.
