The USMTUserCapture program is to simplify the way the my local help desk backups and restores
users. Simplifying allows for an automated (no errors) in backing up users and allows techs
to run the program and walk away.
The program currently backups users to wherever the program resides underneath the folder
UserBackup. It creates a datetime group and then sticks the Scanstate results there.
The intent is to stick the program on a remote shared drive. The tech walks to a customers’
computer that needs to be backed up. The tech navigates to the remote shared drive with
the tool and double clicks it. Once run, the tech selects the user and hits go. Once
complete, the user gets the new computer or the computer gets reimaged. From there, the
tech runs the tool again, selects restore user tab, selects the name that was backed and
hits restore.
This program is a glorified GUI wrapper for Microsoft USMT scan state and load state
(EX: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh825256.aspx) with the intended result
being that it is extremely simple to use.
There is 50 million ways to automate this but if you are required to put hands on to the computer and are limited in what programs your place is allowed to run, this program could be a good solution for you.
