Hi,

I am running into this issue. We have SCCM 2012 in place and i have to migrate 900 remote sites (extremely slow bandwidth) with no DP, from XP to windows 7. Each site only have 1 PC running XP and my task is to do migration plus migrate data over from xp to windows 7 too using sccm. Please advise how it can be done? The critical thing is 'extremely slow bandwidth' with DP's or secondary SCCM between locations and head office. (The only server each site has is a old fedora server for POS purpose)

I understand in other scenarios i could have created 'Task Sequence' and had advertised it over the WAN but here it seems i cannot because of extremely slow bandwidth. 

Any help will be deeply appreciated.

I was halfway through typing exactly the same thing - although you might want to do some research into USMT with external storage so you can migrate the user data easily.

Hi,

1) You could use hardlinking which would store all the data on the local hdd, and then restore it back once windows 7 is installed.

2) There is no minium bandwidth requirement recmmended by SCCM.

Best Regards,
