I have seen several varieties of the usage of those 3 xml files in researching and testing USMT.
Older posts seem to use all 3 in their Scanstate command.
New posts seem to have 2 out of the 3....
I have seen posts by M$ saying do not use Migdocs and Miguser together. Something about capturing the same info 2+ times..
My question would be, if you only use 2 of the 3 in any configuration, are you capturing everything? Profiles, files and settings? or are you leaving something out by only scanning for 2 of them?
My understanding:
Miguser.xml captures user profiles,
Migdocs.xml captures all files created by users throughout the drive

Migapp.xml captures application settings...
Thanks in advance for any explanation.
