I have already built a Windows 7 x64 base image and task sequence using SCCM sp2 r2 and mdt 2010. I am not using USMT to do any state capture or restore right now. We have a new requirement to create two user profiles during the build for a specific department. They must be created during the task sequence. The user profiles will be the same on all machines that are built for this department. I am looking through the task sequence steps for USMT for "capture user state" and "state restore". My scenario is different though, I need to capture the user state for these two users, then apply that same two profiles to many machines (there is no data associated with these profiles, I just need to modify some registry keys for the profiles). What is the easiest way for me to accomplish this??? Thanks, Jan

Replace Default User with the profile you need ? Condition based on for which department you are delivering the image ?Blog at http://www.rpieniaz.wordpress.com

Thanks for your replies, I am already modifying the default user profile using scripts. What I need to do is add two additional user profiles- User1 and User2. There are some application-specific settings that need to apply to these profiles, and I need to apply them at the end of my task sequence so the profiles need to be created during my task sequence. If I could login as user1 and user2 during the task sequence and let Windows create the profiles that would be great, but there is no way to do that. I was thinking there must be a way to do this with USMT, maybe by logging into a PC with these two accounts and then running a capture task sequence with USMT? But I'm not exactly sure how to go about doing that or go about applying those captured profiles to multiple computers using my existing Windows 7 image. I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions? Thanks, Jan

Hi Jan, Easiest way would be to create the user profiles in the capture image and then capture it. Then you don’t have to worry about using USMT. Blair Muller
