    Forgot to mention that the migration has to be done online.

    Raphael Cote-Hamel No. Miguser is not migrating wallpaper.
    It was working but not now. Strange issue. Working on it with MS.
    We had an issue with the taskbar too and Microsoft suggests adding some information in custom.xml.

    You don’t. You use policy to set a corporate wallpaper with relevant helpdesk details and use SysInternals to display host information.

    Mac Donnchadha Rian, we set corporate backgrounds (you know- on our corporate-owned PCs), and users lost their minds. So much that it was reverted; it was a wild ride.

    we focus on having all their applications installed, gaps are in place, and the user is fully functioning
    However, as you copy his folders, you also include the wallpaper path

    Remon Nagy, Why not? When migrating user states from a computer to another one is to make them fully operational fast.

    To get them happy getting mostly the same working environment the had in their previous computer.
    I want them not to fear computer replacement. Not just copying files. This is a bad quality.

    Remon Nagy is Wrong. When you copy folders, you are missing many things.
    Right-clicking on Office files won’t see the history, printers are not migrated, wallpapers, taskbar, Chrome config.
