I have been tasked with getting OSD up and running at our company. I have been able to deploy a captured Windows 7 image, name the newly loaded PC and join the domain, install the SCCM client, and all other necessary tasks to get our users up and running quickly after the upgrade from XP. We were not planning on using USMT at all, because of the fact that we have a semi-strict policy against saving data locally as opposed to their home directories on the network. That has changed, and now I am trying to get through configuring USMT and get it to work in my already successful TS. I have a created my USMT package, added the appropriate steps in my TS, and had a few runs at it, but getting plenty of errors and failures. I will submit my log files, but I'm not on my work PC right now. Could someone please post a sample vanilla TS with capture and restore steps, configuring the SMP, needed .xml files and variables, etc. I have seen a few other sample TS's on here, but they all seem to be very complex and not explained very well. I would like to know the easiest steps to capture a users desktop, MyDoc, and internet favs from a XP system, save it the network, and then restore it. I am hoping that this is very basic. Thank you in advance for you assistance and I will get on my other PC soon and provide logs and even my TS if that is needed.
