USMT and how to write over files

[Guest]

Hello,

I have a problem with USMT. I have it working well but I administer a
network of about 500 users. We use Lotus Notes. The question I have and Yes
I have read all the documentation out there and then some. So, please don't
send me to the USMT pages at Microsoft, thanks... I copy over a NOTES.INI
from the users machine and place it on a new imaged machine it doesn't
replace the notes.ini that is on the image machine. The new notes file gets
named notes(1).ini, bad for me.

Also I am not getting the Environment path to copy over.

Anyone have any real experience doing this???

I have created cool scripts to use with this tool and have it about 98%
ready to rollout to my Org...

Thanks..

Sean,

You will want to use the ForceSrcFile command. The documentation
says:

ForceSrcFile causes the destination file to be overwritten by the
source file. By itself it does not affect whether a file or folder is
migrated. If there is already a file with the same name of the
destination computer then, it will be overwritten by the source file.

Here's an example with notes.ini (usmt 2.5)

[Version]
Signature=$Windows NT$

[Copy This State]
copyfiles=Default CopyFile
ForceSrcFile = Default ForceSrcFile

[Default ForceSrcFile]
c:\mynotesfolder\notes.ini

[Default CopyFile]
c:\mynotesfolder\notes.ini

We are in the process of developing a toolkit that includes an inf
authoring tool, compressed store viewer, command line launcher and a
progress log viewer that will sit on top of usmt 2.6.
