Transferring Outlook Settings using FAST/USMT

G

Guest

I want to transfer upto 20 user's computer settings from their old PCs
(running Win2K or WinXP with OfficeXP or Office2K3) onto new laptops running
WinXP SP2/Office2K3. I'm transferring one to two users at a time. No more
than three, max. The most important application/feature is the user's Outlook
Contacts (personal 'Outlook Address Books', rules, notes, journals, and
archived folders). Should I use WinXP's Files & Settings Tranfer Wizard or
USMT? If so, how do I use them? Also, will the user's aforementioned Outlook
PST settings transfer fully INTACT with either transfer tool?

The File & Settings Wizard along with Office's Save My Settings Wizard
should do the trick. We looked USMT in our office and it seems pretty nice
as it can be scripted unlike the F&S Wizard. Twenty machines isn't too big
of a job for a manual tool like the F&S wizard so you might not want to have
to go through the trouble of dealing with USMT
