    USMT in SCCM 2012

    I know there are a few guides out there with how to do this but i really couldnt find one that helped. So im writing this in the hope it will help at least one person. I will set it out in easy to follow steps as best I can. Stage 1: Create the USMT Package and prepare System Role Im not going to type this out again, im just going to point you to the excellent USMT package creation tutorial on the web site currently http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/4512-using-sccm-2012-rc-in-a-lab-part-8-deploying-windows-7-x64/ Add System Role for State Migration Point Click Administration > Servers and Site System Roles Right Click on the server you wish to use Add Site System Roles Click next and put a tick in the State Migration Point. Follow the wizard. Stage 2: Collecting the information The following stage assumes you have already deployed an operating system to the destination computer or the computer is new, on the domain and listed as a device in SCCM 2012. Open SCCM 2012 Console Open Assets and Compliance > User State Migration Click on Create Computer Association in the ribbon along the top. Under the Computer Association tab. Next to Source Computer box Click Search, Click Search again. Use the filter to narrow down to the computer you will use as the source. Click on the Computer and click ok. Repeat step 4 for the destination computer. Click on User Accounts Tab along the top. The Migration Behavior should be self explantory. If you wish to transfer just specific user accounts (default) click on the yellow star underneath this drop down to select from Active Directory which users you which to capture from this computer. Click OK Your association is now complete. Stage 3: Isolate the Computers Click on Assets and Compliance > Devices Find the source computer Right click on the computer > Add Selected Items > To New Collection When the wizard for a new collection appears. Call the collection Capture User Data (or something similar) Click next all the way through the rest of the wizard. Repeat the above steps for the Destination computer but call the collection Restore User Data Stage 4: Create the capture Task Sequence Click on Software Library Click on Task Sequences Click Create Task Sequence along the top Create a new custom sequence > Next Call it Capture Task Sequence or something similar Click next to everything Click Finish Right Click on Capture Task Sequence and click Edit Along the top click Add > User State > Request State Store Make sure Capture state from computer is selected and put a tick in If Computer Account fails.. Click Add > User State > Capture User State Browse and select USMT 4 for the package. Capture all user profiles using standard options. Enable verbose logging & Skip files should be checked. Capture using VSS option selected In options tab Check continue on error. Click Add > User State > Release State Store Click ok Deploy this to the Capture User Data collection you created earlier. Stage 5: Create the restore Task Sequence Click Create Task Sequence again Create a new custom sequence > next Call it Restore Task Sequence or something similar Click next to everything and click finish Right click on Restore Task Sequence and click edit Add > User State > Request State Store make sure Restore from comuter is selected and put a tick in If Computer Account fails Click Add > User State > Restore User State Browse and select USMT 4 for the package. Restore all user profiles. Check Continue if some files cannot be restore and enable verbose logging. Add > User State > Release State Store Click OK Deploy this to the Restore User Data collection you created earlier Stage 6: Capture the Source Machine On the source machine, open System Center 2012 Software Center. If the task sequence isnt there yet, leave it for a few minutes and press F5 to refresh. If it is there, click on it and click Install. A warning asking if your sure you want to install and operating system. Just ok this as your not really installing an operating system Leave it to do its stuff. Once its finished we're on to Stage 7: Restore to Destination Computer On the destination computer, Open software Center as above and look for the restore task sequence. When it appears, Install and click ok the message about an operating system Leave it to do its stuff Hopefully, your data should now be on the new machine.
  3. Just hope this helps anyone with the SQL failed pre requisite problem. The prerequisite seems to only want to connect to the sql server with the default instance name of MSSQLSERVER, if you have called the instance something else or are trying to connect to another SQL Server then the prerequisites will fail for SQL Server and service name. PreReq will only accept the local server for the SQL Server and MSSQLSERVER for the instance name. As i say I hope this helps anyone.
