I've never gotten USMT to work totally right in my very limited testing.

But I think i had improper versions or just wasnt doing it right. It would be very handy for me to get it working now that my client base is a lil different at my new job.

Beforehand, there would be up to 100 profiles on one machine so it wasnt feasible (or needed) to migrate them all.

Hello Phoneous,
Just as an FYI, there are some other options as well.
You can visit the official Microsoft Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 site here: Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 - Help & How-to - Microsoft Windows
There are some nice videos tutorials and steps to take when migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7. And yes it is true you cannot directly upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 you can take some steps to ensure a smooth process.
Thanks again and good luck!

Thanks for this post, it is great. I have used USMT for a while and really like it in the enterprise.. There are other options but know how to use this is good. KM
