I have figured out how to implement hardlinking using the .xml examples provided in this forum. Hardlinking works great for in-place upgrades. As we begin to replace devices, I plan on implementing SMP to tranfer profiles from the old PC to the new one. This is where my problems begin. I have been trying to import the SMP .xml example from this forum into SCCM 2007 to use it as a point of reference. The problem is that when I import the file, nothing happens. I can import every other .xml file into my task sequence location. Finding information on what to set up in SCCM2007 is very difficult. Even the books I have are less that informative. Does anyone know where I can find a guide on SMP implementation that actually outlines the steps needed to properly configure and execute SMP profile migration? Right now, I am manually copying profiles created with a hardlink TS to a shared server, running a O/S install TS, copying the profile to the new PC and running a USMT restore TS. There really has to be an easier way to do this.

Thanks for any help in this matter.
