Network Printers not migrating in Offline Mode ?

[anyweb]

You are using Offline mode in Windows PE and you notice it's not migrating your network printers.

 

Don't worry, windows-noob is here to help, add the following XML file to your existing USMT 4 package.

 

Please note: the following has been tested successfully with the guide here. Please also note that this will migrate the network printers settings but not the printer drivers. In addition, this xml file will migrate your network shares.

 

 

Add the printers.xml file to your USMT 4 package

 

locate your USMT 4 package and copy the following file to it:

 

printers.xml

 

 

Edit your Runscanstate

 

edit your Runscanstate.bat file so that it has the following appended to it

 

/i:%~2\USMTbits\x86\printers.xml

 

the entire line should look like so

 

@set USMT_WORKING_DIR=%~2%\USMTbits\x86

"%~2\USMTbits\x86\scanstate.exe" "%~1" /c /o /hardlink /efs:hardlink /nocompress /offlinewindir:c:\windows /v:5 /l:%~2\SMSTSLog\scanstate.log /progress:%~2\SMSTSLog\scanstateprogress.log /i:%~2\USMTbits\x86\miguser.xml /i:%~2\USMTbits\x86\migapp.xml /i:%~2\USMTbits\x86\printers.xml

 

Update Distribution Points

 

Update the distribution points for BOTH packages above, and do your offline in WinPE tests again.

Hi,

 

Sorry I'm a little confused on how I can use this USMT with SCCM, reading the technet and doing some research everyone is doing it different and no one has screenshots of step by step.

Can you please send me screenshots what I would like to do is,

 

Migrate user data, Documents, Desktop, Downloads. IE Fav, Printers, Signatures, .ost files, .pst

 

Thanks
