Hello everyone!

  1. Use IIS Pool for Authentication and not have Userid and Password in clear text. (Thank you Niall!)

  1. My goal is to allow a third party company to Migrate user state from XP to Windows 7 during our Windows 7 Migration project. Doing this tasks through SCCM console isn't worth it when the 3rd party staff will be changing during the project.
     
     
    I need to have the Source Computer and the Destination computer do the following when the "Create Computer Associatation" button is pushed.
    1. Add Source and Destination computer to the Computer Association in SCCM OSD
    2. Add Source Computer to the Collection I called Scanstate
    3. Add Destination Computer to the Collection I called Loadstate

The Computer Association Script that does work perfectly! ( I took this script from some ones blog and I added a little changes)

Hmm... I don't really get your code and what you're trying to do... You already got the resourceID of the two machines and that's what you need, so I've got no clue what you are trying to achieve in this for For Each Computerselect in Computerlisting.Options

When you already have the resourceID you can just say newDirectRule.ResourceID = referenceComputerResourceId

 

Also, why two times a function that does the same... GetResourceIDFromName and GetResourceIDFromNameB....

Peter, I typicaly don't write VBscript and HTA. I didn't mean to leave the section of code "Add Computer to Scanstate and Loadstate Collections in SCCM" to the first post. I found the code on the internet and have tried to modify this to do what I need.

 

My goal is to allow a third party company to Migrate user state from XP to Windows 7 during our Windows 7 Migration project. Doing this tasks through SCCM console isn't worth it when the 3rd party staff will be changing during the project.

 

I need to have the Source Computer and the Destination computer do the following when the "Create Computer Associatation" button is pushed.

1. Add Source and Destination computer to the Computer Association in SCCM OSD
2. Add Source Computer to the Collection I called Scanstate
3. Add Destination Computer to the Collection I called Loadstate

 

I'll keep you posted.

JCA, this looks awesome!

 

If I need to tweak this for my environment, where do I put the names in for my USMT Capture and Restore Collections?

 

Also, I'm not sure I understand where to use this tool.

 

Do I make this part of a Task Sequence as listed here (http://www.windows-n...display-my-hta/) then advertise it as a voluntary PXE advertisement to all of my systems? Then my tech guys just hit F12 for PXE boot and fill in the values on this HTA?

 

Thanks for posting this fantastic tool here, your peers thank you!

 

EDIT : I looked deeper into the matter, you would add this to your Task Sequence as one of the first steps.

I took this script and customized it to my environment. I changed it so that it will use the computer name of the computer it is running from as computer a, so the user only has to enter the destination computer. I also added an exit button.

 

I do have one problem though. The computer association gets created in SCCM, and the data is backed up to the SMP just fine. But, in the migrationstatus.xml that gets created, it has the same GUID for the source and destination computer, even though the SCCM console shows a computer association created with the correct source and destination computer names..

 

This causes the 'Request State Store' step on the data restore task sequence to fail. If I manually change the guid in the xml file to the correct guid of the destination computer, it completes perfectly..
