As everybody knows by know, you can't upgrade your XP systems directly to Windows 7. You can, however, migrate user accounts, as well as each user's OS and application settings.
That means when your user sits down at his spiffy new Dell laptop (or the like), he'll encounter a virtually identical "user state": same desktop, same file locations, and so on. That's a huge deal, as it can significantly reduce the downtime, learning curve, and help-desk calls associated with migrating to a new OS.
The tool that makes this possible? The User State Migration Tool 4.0, designed expressly for administrators performing large-scale Windows 7 deployments.
In this video, Microsoft IT evangelist Dan Stolts walks you step-by-step through USMT operation. It should teach you everything you need to know about this potentially invaluable tool!
