What USMT Does Not Migrate
The following is a list of the settings that USMT does not migrate:
Application Settings
USMT 4.0 does not migrate the following application settings:
Settings from earlier versions of an application. The versions of each application must match on the
source and destination computers, except for Microsoft Office, which USMT can migrate from an earlier
version to a later version.
Application settings and some operating system settings when a local account is created.
ICQ Pro settings.
Operating System Settings
USMT 4.0 does not migrate the following operating system settings:
Local printers, hardware-related settings, drivers, passwords, application binary files, synchronization
files, DLL files, or other executable files.
Permissions for shared folders. After migration, you must manually re-share any folders that were shared
on the source computer.
Files and settings migrating between operating systems with different languages. The operating system of
the source computer must match the language of the operating system on the destination computer.
Customized icons for shortcuts may not migrate.
Taskbar settings, when the source computer is running Windows XP.
The following firewall settings when the source computer is running Windows XP:
o The Internet Connection Sharing setting is not migrated because it can make the network less
secure if it is migrated to the destination computer.
o The firewall advanced-configuration settings are not migrated because of increased security
risks.
o The Network Connections user interface will not completely refresh until you log off or press F5.
o Bridge settings are not migrated; for example, bridging a virtual private network to a second
network adapter.
