Study Notes

Migration Tools

LoadState.exe: Facilitates the migration of data from a USMT migration file to a destination PC.
USMTUtils.exe: Verifies and retrieves files from a compressed USMT migration file.

Steps for Using USMT

Create a network share for storing migration files.
Download and install the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK) to access USMT.
Transfer USMT files from C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Windows Kits\\10\\Assessment and Deployment Kit\\User State Migration Tool to the network share.
Ensure correct version of USMT is used: 32-bit for 32-bit clients, 64-bit for 64-bit clients.
Use /GenMigXML with ScanState to identify files for migration and export results to an XML file for review.
Customize migration configuration in files like MigApp.xml, MigUser.xml, MigDocs.xml, and Config.xml as needed.
Close all applications and prepare the source computer for migration.

Deployment Considerations

Conduct pilot deployments with select user groups to identify and resolve issues before organization-wide rollout.
Ensure devices meet minimum hardware specifications to support the new Windows version.
Verify compatibility of peripheral devices (printers, scanners) and ensure drivers are available.
Assess third-party encryption tools, recommending BitLocker if necessary.
Test all organizational applications for compatibility.

Windows Autopilot Overview

Windows Autopilot simplifies deployment and management of new Windows devices, optimizing the Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE).
IT preconfigures Autopilot profiles for devices based on hardware IDs, allowing for quick user setup.

Autopilot Deployment Process

Devices are acquired with Windows pre-installed and sent directly to end users.
Users connect the device to the internet, and the appropriate deployment profile is automatically downloaded based on their credentials.

Autopilot Features

Supports automatic joining to Azure Active Directory or Active Directory.
Facilitates auto-enrollment into MDM services (requires Azure AD Premium).
Allows customization of OOBE content and automatic grouping of devices.

Autopilot Requirements and Licensing

Supported versions of Windows: Pro, Pro Education, Pro for Workstations, Enterprise, Education, LTSC.
Strong internet connectivity is needed for Autopilot functionality, including access via HTTP, HTTPS, and NTP.

Active Directory Structure

A domain is a collection of network resources defined by a common directory and security policies.
Organizational units (OUs) help organize resources within a domain, allowing for simplified security and administration.
Active Directory objects include users, groups, and computers with identifiable attributes for resource management.

Domain Controllers

Domain controllers maintain copies of the Active Directory database and are exclusive to one domain.
Multiple domain controllers can exist within a single domain, allowing for changes to the Active Directory database from any controller.
