Deploy user states to target devices manually

When you scan a device and capture the user states to the appliance, the USMT creates a .mig file, which contains the user states of the device. You can download and copy the .mig file from the appliance to any location on a target device that you want to update with the new user states.

The USMT ScanState utility performs the backup and generates the .mig file. The USMT LoadState utility performs the restore process using the .mig file. Running the LoadState utility in Administrator mode loads the user states to a target device.

1.	On the left navigation pane, click Library to expand the section, then click User States to display the User States page.

2.	Select a profile to display the User State Detail page.

3.	Click Download User State File.

The Opening USMT.MIG dialog box appears.

4.	Click Save File and save the file to any location.

5.	Copy the entire .mig file on to a target device.

a.	On the target device, create a local store, such as MyUserStates, with a subfolder named USMT, and copy the .mig file to the USMT folder.

b.	Run the loadstate.exe. on the USMT folder on the target device.

Use the following command-line options to deploy the user states:

▪	Local account: loadstate.exe StorePath /i:miguser.xml /i:migapp.xml /lac /lae

▪	Domain account: loadstate.exe StorePath /i:miguser.xml /i:migapp.xml
