SCCm and USMT does not perform well?

Question

I have just succeeded in setting up a State migration point on our SCCM and after that got USMT to make user profile backup and restore on the reinstalled PC.

According to the log everything is OK and User data and desktop is there but hardly anything else , not even my Edge favorites or any browser favorites.
USMT is the latest 20H2

Is this what to expect or is something wrong?

Answer 1

USMT must be convigured with XML, what all stuff you want to be restored. Consider to use In-place upgrade instead of refresh with USMT.

Answer 2

Hi Makesh

I noticed you already use USMTGUI from EhlerTech? Why don't you just use his custom XML files? That is exactly what they are for :-)

USMT is a fantastic tool but Microsoft has done a lousy job maintaining the MigApp.xml (for like 5 years) and also never really bothered to include Windows 10 settings etc.

For many years I have therefore used EhlerTechs. They are updated several times every year and will handle all browser favorites from Chrome, Firefox and the new Edge, plus a lot of other Windows 10 settings like recent files etc. and include them in your SCCM.
Even cached passwords in Firefox and Chrome will be migrated

(remember to redistribute the USMT package after adding)
