70-680 USMT Migrate mapped network drives or not?

fabiog

Hi
I am busy studying for the 70-680 exam and the microsoft studyguide states that you can´t use USMT 4 to migrate mapped network drives and I have read this on a few sites but Technet now says it does:
What Does USMT Migrate?
If you read the comments posted on that page it seems microsoft did have it as not possible but they seem to have edited it, so now I'm confused does migrate or not?

Thanks for any replies this will help me and other people that are busy studying for this exam.

USMT can do it, but it does not do it by default. You need to create a custom XML file that includes those registry keys and include that XML file on the scanstate and loadstate command lines. The section in the Custom XML would look like this:

<!-- This component migrates the printers and network drives --> 
  <component type="System"> 
    <displayName>Custom Registry Keys</displayName> 
    <role role="Settings"> 
        <rules context="UserAndSystem"> 
            <include> 
                <objectSet> 
                    <pattern type="Registry">HKCU\Printers\* 
[*]</pattern> 
                    <pattern type="Registry">HKCU\Network\* 
[*]</pattern>
                </objectSet> 
            </include> 
        </rules> 
    </role> 
  </component>

And the scanstate and loadstate commands would need to include this option along with the usual options:

/i:"C:\Path\Custom.xml"

Thanks for your reply and now I understand how it works.
But if I get that question in the exam is the correct answer that it only supports network mapped drives and possibly printers with a custom xml file?
