pungdoft Posted March 11, 2012 Report post Posted March 11, 2012 We are running SCCM 2007 R3 with MDT update 1. Deploying windows with drivers and applications works like a charm. But I'm struggling to understand usmt. I've followed a guide to enable windows 7 deployment with hardlink and everything works ok. But I want to take this further do this : 1. Advertise a ts and get usmt to store all data on a network share before formatting disk and install windows 7 back on the same pc. 2. Same as above but this time to restore data to a new pc. What I cant figure out is where to configure usmt/ts to store the data. Do I do this in a xml file or what? Is there any other way to configure what to capture/backup than editing xml files? Is there a gui who makes this easier for a xml noob like me? Should I go for usmt in offline mode or a ts starting from inside a running os?

Peter van der Woude Posted March 11, 2012 Report post Posted March 11, 2012 To configure which data is captured, you need to edit the xml files. To configure where the data is stored is done in the commandline/ task sequence. There is a tool available, but not for free, see here: http://www.wintools.com.au/usmtgui.php Offline or online mode all depends on the requirements. For example, I like offline with hardlinks, bacause is really quick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
