Setting USMT Profiles
User state migration refers to the process of transferring user persona information and settings between using the Microsoft User State Migration Tool (USMT), a command line utility program. You can configure a role in App Portal to migrate user profiles with USMT by intelligently detecting the user details to migrate based on role conditions.
On the USMT Profiles tab of the Role Properties dialog box, you can define the USMT parameters to be used during the scan state tasks on the source computer and load state tasks on the destination computer during the System Center Configuration Manager OSD process.
To create a new role for managing USMT settings, perform the following steps.
