SCCM 3.01

Hi All,

I am struggling to understand the logic for the New Machine upgrade.

User wants a new machine with his data from the previous machine.

I created a collection to do the scanstate.Once the scanstate is done, the loadstate is run to restore the data. This is done as 2 seperate advertisements.

 

Is there an easier method for me to do this?

 

I went thru the noob guide, but I am sure I am missing something simple. Please help

 

USMT runs thru fine when

you can use one task sequence to do this but it does require running on both systems, obviously, plus the logic behind it will probably need some work, however you can start with a standard task sequence and work from there once the computer association is in place

Thanks Andy,

If the new machine is built already and I want to restore a previously captured state. I have managed to run the loadstate manually on the new machine successfully.

Is there a simpler automated way to do this?

well you could target the machine with a task sequence that just restores the user state and make it mandatory,

Ooh my bad Niall, dunno where that came from :-)

 

I think thats the part that probably I cant make sense of.

 

I have created a seperate task sequence to do the restore. But how will SCCM know to restore the state from

\\SMP\STATESTORE\SMPSTORED_0742CEA7$\87DFABA033149165A7800ECAA6F4E2108EEC65737D6B47A912BFCB3D60893DC2 to the already built machine LAPTOP1.

Is that the Source and Destination computer comes into play? Do I create the association there and then run the madatory state restore task sequence.

 

sorry for the noob question, but I have tried to search around for an easier answer.

Anyone?

Correct, you need to create a Computer Association for that.
