Refresh Scenarion xp to 7 with disk format

[LionelB]

Hello,

 

I am currently working on a project and I have to migrate workstations from Windows Xp (32 bits) to Windows 7 (64 bits).

We are using SCCM 2007.

The Windows XP workstations have 2 partitions and the main user profile is stored on the second partition (D disk). The registry was modified…

For the “new” Windows 7 workstations, I would like to keep only one partition with the users profile and datas on the C disk.

I tried to do that:

 

- TS - Capture User State (With MigXmlHelper.RelativeMove in a specific xml file to modify data folders)

- TS - Apply the OS

- TS – Restore User State

 

The Restore User State doesn’t work because the computer association uses the previous configmr uuid and a new one is applied when the SCCM Client is reinstalled on the computer.

Should I keep doing that way and how can I modify the computer association so I can restore the user data?

Or is it possible to use a Refresh Scenario with hardlink and modify the partitions (because I want only one partition on my Windows 7 workstations)

 

Thank you for your answers and sorry for my English.

Normally a hardlink migration would be ideal for a computer-refresh situation, but as you want to repartition the disk(s) it's not an option... You need to save the user data of the box (like a SMP).

Thank you for your answer.

I had to save the user data on a SMP as you advised.
