Scan State & Load State

ScanState

You run ScanState on the source computer during the migration. You must run ScanState. exe on computers running Windows Vista and Windows 7 from an administrative command prompt. When running ScanState on a source computer that has Windows XP installed, you need to run it as a user that is a member of the local administrators group.

The following command creates an encrypted store named Mystore on the file share named Migration on the file server named Fileserver that uses the encryption key Mykey:

scanstate \\fileserver\migration\mystore /i:migapp.xml /i:miguser.xml /o /config:config.xml
/encrypt /key:"mykey"

Running ScanState and LoadState with the /v:13 option creates a detailed log file. You should use this option if you are having problems migrating data.

LoadState

LoadState is run on the destination computer. You should install all applications that were on the source computer on the destination before you run LoadState. You must run Loadstate. exe on computers running Windows Vista and Windows 7 from an administrative command prompt.

To load profile data from an encrypted store named Mystore that is stored on a share named Migration on a file server named Fileserver and which is encrypted with the encryption key Mykey, use this command:

loadstate \\fileserver\migration\mystore /i:migapp.xml /i:miguser.xml /decrypt
/key:"mykey"
