Windows 7 is the standard in desktop operating systems but getting your organization on-board is not without its challenges.
With the launch of Windows Vista and Windows 7, Microsoft changed the user profile format with new folder names and storage locations. This change 'broke' the ability of Windows XP/2000/and Server 2003 roaming profiles, and solutions that rely on roaming profiles, to migrate or co-exist with Windows 7 and later operating systems.
While you are migrating to Windows 7, you'll also likely be upgrading your applications to the latest version, including Microsoft Office and other popular third party applications. Application data settings such as Microsoft Outlook configurations, signatures, personal spell checker data, contact lists, and more, are easily lost without a proper planning.
Lastly, you need a plan to take care of user authored data on legacy PCs. Relying on manual drag and drop for file transfers and disparate removable media is haphazard at best. An automated plan is best and helps to ensure that no mission critical data is left behind.
To ease your daunting task of migrating users, you need a plan and a solution that will make it easy and have zero impact on user productivity.
