MDT 2012 Update 1: Dealing with in-use files when capturing user state
From the archive (2012). Written for the tools of the time, so some details may be out of date.
In response to a thread on the MDT/OSD email list on myITforum, Michael Niehaus has a new blog post explaining some new features around USMT coming in MDT 2012 Update 1 (beta).
A thread on the MDTOSD mailing list hosted by http://www.myitforum.com website was talking about how some user state data, such as PST files that Outlook has opened, could be lost during the user state migration process. This reminded me of some new functionality coming in MDT 2012 Update 1 Beta 1. Yes, that hasn’t released yet, but it’s worth discussing now anyway because users of MDT 2010 and MDT 2012 can benefit from some of the same changes.
