USMT Migration types

sccmtspsi allows three types of migrations.

  • Network based migration
  • USB based migration
  • Hardlink migration

Network : The migration store will be created on the specified network location. Select True to compress the migration store. If the migration store exist, the existing migration store will be backed up with a time stamp and a new migration store is created.

USB : The migration store will be created on a USB drive with the specified identification label. Select True to compress the migration store. If the migration store exist, the existing migration store will be backed up with a time stamp and a new migration store is created.

Hard-link : A hard-link migration store enables us to perform an in-place migration where all user state is maintained on the computer while the old operating system is removed and the new operating system is installed; this is why it is best suited for the computer-refresh scenario. Use of a hard-link migration store for a computer-refresh scenario drastically improves migration performance and significantly reduces hard-disk utilization, reduces deployment costs and enables entirely new migration scenarios.

DCOM hardening issue.

This application fails to authenticate with WMI on the SCCM server because Microsoft has not yet hardened DCOM on their Windows Preinstallation Environment. We are working on a different approach, but it will only be released during the first quarter of 2024. But until that time, the only workaround will be to uninstall the update corresponding to KB5004442.
