Workstation Migration Assistant 1.0 Final

Workstation Migration Assistant

Well, after literally years of working on it, I’m finally finished the Workstation Migration Assistant! Thanks to everyone who’s been testing the release candidates, suggesting features and helping catch bugs. Since RC3, there’s been the following changes and fixes:

WMA 1.0 Final (Build 60):

  • NEW: Replaced “SettingsHealthCheckDisabled” with “SettingsHealthCheckDefaultEnabled”. Admins can specify whether it should be enabled or not by default, but can no longer be removed completely
  • NEW: /LAC is enabled by default on Restore
  • NEW: MigrationRestoreAccountsPassword setting to specify default password for use with /LAC
  • NEW: MigrationRestoreAccountsEnabled setting to enable /LAE
  • CHANGE: Health Check is now skipped if not ticked - text has been updated to clarify this better.
  • CHANGE: Better exception handling around USMT download / install
  • FIX: Only domain accounts migrated with “Migration current user only” selected
  • FIX: If a script / app run via Pre/Post-Processing wasn’t VBS, VBE or EXE (case-sensitive), it would never run
  • FIX: Local exclusions in settings files were ignored and all local accounts ignored (if using Domain and Local option)
  • FIX: Double prompt on Advanced Settings > Other location
  • FIX: Double prompt on Advanced Settings > Custom Encryption

  1. I am testing on a workstation that does not need relocating, but I noticed that after I managed to collect settings, I cannot copy the folder to a removeable drive to take it to another machine to see if I can import the settings, any ideas what I did wrong?

    Thanks
