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.

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. |
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 |
You can upload an existing answer file (Windows) or preseed/kickstart file (Linux), or perform a server-based attended setup (Windows or Linux).
Prepare for a scripted installation:
The Create a Scripted Installation wizard guides you through the steps to define the scripted installation. The settings that you specify in the config.xml file must be compatible with the hardware. Windows only: If the hardware cannot handle the settings, the Windows installer causes the unattended scripted installation to fail.

NOTE: Scripted installation deployments to UEFI-enabled devices require creating a UEFI partition using the Create UEFI Partitions pre-installation task and booting from a UEFI bootable FAT32 formatted USB flash device. |
Next, using the wizard, upload an existing answer file (Windows) or preseed/kickstart file (Linux), or perform a server-based attended setup (Windows or Linux).
You can rename, duplicate, remove, or edit scripted installations.
The Scripted Installation Detail page allows you to view the image settings, add a boot action, download the log files for the image, and set the options for how the appliance responds to errors.
The Installation Plan enables you to create a task sequence by adding the available pre-installation, mid-level, and post-installation tasks to run in the order that you place the tasks for the deployment.
