Windows XP to Windows 7 USMT Replace Scenario requirements

Hi ,
I am looking for pointers to start planning with Replace scenario( old to new system) with USMT. I have config manager 2012 R2 with MDT 2013 integration. Looking for pointers to achieve this. Is it possible to achieve this using standalone media(I suspect),
If yes need some pointers around this how to go about this approach also.
Other alternative I am thinking on is using USMT manually for backing up profile\data on USB\Network and
then restore it on destination after installation on new machine. Any suggestions.
Thanks
Regards,

The easiest way to do this is to deploy a refresh task sequence to an existing XP client. It has become a little trickier in R2 (boot images issues).
See procedure here. This was for a previous version of ConfigMgr so look at the comments below.

USMT + UNC + Replace Scenario

Hi folks,
Have a customer that's looking to do USMT to a UNC path in a Replace Scenario. The drawback of course is that we can't use the State Migration Point, so Requesting/Releasing the Mig file is out; nor can we use a %ComputerName% variable, given the new computer
name.
Any ideas on how to accomplish this?
Thanks

I'm a bit unclear why the State Migration point is out and the UNC path is being used. Is it out simply because that's what the customer wants?
That said, at the end of the day USMT is just another package being delivered and run by SCCM so there's no reason you couldn't do it provided the UNC was setup with appropriate permissions.
Just set your task sequence to run the command while selecting your USMT package of choice (remember if you are still playing the Windows XP game you will need to find an older version of USMT to use than what is installed with SCCM by default).
Some syntax can be found here (this is for scanstate):
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd560781%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
During your replace sequence you'll simply have to prompt for the profile info so it can run the Loadstate. I'd recommend using MDT or something similar so you can make a "nice looking" UDI page. Just set a radio button that prompts
if there's a profile to restore then in your task sequence you can make a task sequence group based on the variable (so it skips the section for machines that are new deployments). If you want to get clever, during your profile backup, store the profile
in a way that you can auto-generate the restore path using the SMSTSUSers variable. THen there's one less question to ask (or at least it gets replaced with a question like "who's machine will this be").

Windows 7 to replace Vista Home Permium

New HP Touchsmart--second generation. Have completed recovery disk creation. Want to replace Vista with Windows 7. Can I use recovery disks to restore HP and other program files? Install of Windows 7 to replace Vista Home Premium will wipe disk as I understand. Tried to backup files and failed. How many disks will it take. Because it is new, there are no files other than what came on the computer.

Backup files means back up your data files (just in case something unexpected happens).
If you do an upgrade to Windows 7, your applications and data will still be there. There will be some applications that will not work. You will need to go to www.hp.com/support to download the application/driver updates for your system model.

Re: Satellite A300-1EI: Windows 7 "consider replacing your battery

I have my Toshiba two years.
I bought it witch Vista, but I install to Windows XP.
Laptop worked very good. In December 2009, I decided to install Windows 7.
All drivers were available so I done it. Windows 7 worked perfect to yesterday.
I have a communique from Windows 7 "consider replacing your battery" and laptop works on battery too short.
Before this problem I could works 1 hour and 45 min. Now it is 15-30 min.
I read in some forums in Internet that Windows 7 damage laptop's battery. Is it true?
Is there any idea to repair it?
I afraid to buy new battery if windows 7 damage it too. Thanks for your help.
P.S.
Sorry for my low English.

Hi
The Windows 7 has recognized that your battery performance it too low and that battery needs to be replaced.
Please take a look here:
+Notfication in the battery meter of Windows 7 "Consider replacing your battery".+
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB0302U30000R01.htm
As mentioned in this Toshiba document, this Microsoft this message is correct and the battery is really end of life (<40%).
Seems its time for a new battery

MDT Replace Scenario - Computer Association

I'm in the middle of preparing for a Win7 migration and I had a few questions.
I want to use the Replace Scenario in MDT; this means I will have to use the replace task sequence to backup the users data via USMT on the old computer
and then use a standard task sequence to install Windows 7 and restore the users data on the new computer.
With SCCM you can create computer associations between the old computer and the new computer. However, I'm not sure what needs to be done in MDT to associate the old computer with the new one. I would want to do this so the replace process is more automated.
Here's what I want and #2 is where I need more insight into:
1) Run the Replace task sequence on the old computer running Windows XP. (I will provide the network share and other details to automate this)
2) When I run the standard sequence to install Win7 on the new machine, I would like it to look at the MDT database or something else and see the "relationship" and restore the USMT from the backup from the old computer from step 1, without having
to manually point to the backup.
Any ideas?

Sounds cool.
There is nothing like that out of the box with MDT, however it should be possible with some scripting.
I have done some techniques before where I have created network folders that can be "created' and written by users, but not "read" by other users.
http://xtremeconsulting.com/blog/litetouch-folder-permissions/
Then you can store the saved data in a common file.
I would then create a UserExit script to "search" for saved USMT folders, auto-populating the found values so they appear in the restore wizard page.

SCCM 2012 OSD Replace Scenario

Hi,
I am using SCCM 2012 with MDT integration. My MDT OSD task sequence works fine, except in a replace Scenario. I run the client replace task sequence on the old machine and the USMT back is successful. I then boot with a USB thumb drive with boot media on
the new machine. I get the correct task sequence but it seems like the OS want to install on the BDE Drive, which I to small. My new computer and refresh works without problems and install on the correct drive. I don't understand why I get this issue in a
replace scenario. I am very new to SCCM OSD and your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Have you checked the log file smsts.log? Maybe it can give us some clues.

If possible... you need to Upgrade to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x (which will Run iTunes Version 11)
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
