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..
 
Hi Sean,

Use the ForceSrcFile option in the inf template file, this will
overwrite the destination file...

Here is a working example (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


Regarding the Environment path, could you explain a bit more what you
are trying to do? Are you reading a registry value?
