Short for
User State Migration Tools, it is a
tool that allows a
system administrator
to migrate
user configuration setting and
files from systems running Windows 95 or later to a
clean
Windows XP installation. USMT is designed
for use by system administrators when performing large deployments of Windows XP
Professional in a corporate environment. Microsoft recommends that home users
and small businesses who need to migrate files and settings without the support
of an IT department should use the
Files and Settings Transfer Wizard.
