Information

The Workstation Migration Assistant is a visual wrapper for Microsoft’s User State Migration Tool, designed to simplify the capture / restore process for your end-users, and at the same time being highly configurable so that it can be customised to suit your organisations needs. Some of it’s features include:

• Migrate via a pre-defined network storage location, external USB drive, or user-specified location. USB drive detection is automatic, and you can decide whether drives below a certain size are ignored (ie, memory sticks)
• Optional Hard Disk Health Check will run a CHKDSK prior to capture and fix errors if any are found
• Optional Encryption using a pre-defined company encryption key, or per-user customised encryption (for highly sensitive data that can’t be stored on a server without being encrypted)
• Use different configurations for “XP Only” (XP > XP) migrations via Standard (XP > Vista and Vista > Vista)
• Automatically run pre and post-capture / restore scripts and programs (very useful to further configure machine settings)
• Migrate domain only accounts, or domain and local
• Automatically exclude certain domain or local accounts from the migration
• Automatically send log files to an e-mail address via SMTP after the migration
• On-screen status during every stage of the migration, including ETA
• Option to limit migrations to a certain size, i.e. if over 20GB of data to backup, then fail and inform user. This is also overridable
• Automatic checks for USMT installation and optional download
• Command-line automation
• Super-pretty UI
