FactWhat is User State Migration Tool (USMT)? Hide
User State Migration Tool (USMT) is used to migrate user files and settings during large deployments
of Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows Vista operating systems. It captures desktop, and
application settings, as well as user accounts and users’ files, and then migrates them to a new
Windows installation. It helps administrators to improve and simplify migration process. USMT can
be used for both side-by-side and wipe-and-load migrations. USMT component SCANSTATE.EXE is
used to collect the files and settings from the source computer and the LOADSTATE.EXE component
is used to restore the user state onto the destination computer.
Answer option B is incorrect. Disk Management is used for partitioning disks, not transferring files
and settings.
FactWhat is Disk Management? Hide
Disk Management is a folder in the Computer Management console used to view the volume status.
It displays the currently active volumes on the server. It also displays the active and inactive drives
connected to the server. The following are the volume status displayed in the Disk Management
folder:
Failed: This status occurs when a file system gets damaged or corrupted. It may indicate data loss.
The volume can be returned to the healthy status by using the Reactivate Disk command.
Failed Redundancy: Volumes with failed redundancy can be accessed, but their performance is slow.
Replacing or reactivating the missing disk can resolve this problem.
Healthy (At Risk): This status occurs when a dynamic volume experiences I/O error. The I/O error can
be caused by bad sectors present on the actual disk. Reactivating or replacing the disk can resolve
this problem.Answer option C is incorrect. Windows Explorer can help you navigate files on a machine, but will
not be as useful in transferring files and settings to a new PC.
