Hi all

We're in the midst of a desktop refresh project and plan to migrate our
1500+ users from XPSP2/Office2003 to XPSP3/Office2007. We read a Microsoft
article that states that USMT3 does not migrate mapped network drives and
network printers but USMT2.6.2 does so we used that instead. However, during
testing we discovered USMT2.6.2 does not migrate settings to Office 2007. So
it appears we must use USMT3 to migrate our users' Office 2003 settings to
Office 2007.

1. Is this correct? If so, how can we also migrate our users' mapped
network drives and network printers please?

2. We heard about a USMT3 gui wrapper from Dan Cunningham called Workstation
Migration Assistant (WMA)
http://dcunningham.net/2007/11/22/a-quick-look-at-workstation-migration-assistant/
that simplifies the process. What are others' experience of using this, with
particular reference to our migration scenario please?

Thanks
Scott
