Workstation Migration Assistant 1.01
Doh, missed a bug, caused by a bloody typo.This has now been fixed.
WMA 1.01 (Build 63):
FIX: Pre / Post Migration scripts did not run during Restore
Workstation Migration Assistant 1.0 Final
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:

A quick look at: Workstation Migration Assistant
During my company’s Windows 2000 > XP migration, I spent a long time developing a tool to automate the backup/restore of user data, so that our deployment team could literally click a button and have everything done for them (it could’ve been an entirely zero-touch system, but we just didn’t have the time to test [...]
