    • User Profile handling anno 2022

      After many years doing other stuff I'm back at looking at some user handling at my new job.

      In "the old days" I'd create a proper default profile to go with our base image but as I have so far figured out that is today a no-go?

      The deployment system I have inherited (currently rolling out Windows 10) does have some rudimentary settings that seem to attempt to set up some default shortcuts and also Tiles.
      I'm not a fan of the whole Tiles/Modern UI mess in Windows 10 but at least I'd like to get rid of games etc.
      Also We have some internal web pages I'd like to pre-set as favorites in the browsers for new users.

      Reinstalling existing PCs I see some things like local files move over through the User profile backup/restore in SCCM but it seems to be like 30/70% hit and miss and I gather something needs being updated?

      How are you guys setting up a PC to be as well adjusted as possible for a new user or do you just hand over a vanilla PC?

      Any thoughts are most appreciated (cloud/Azure is not currently an option).

      Two quick questions
      The GUI for USMT is that the one made by Ehlertech?
      Also the optimized XMLs for usage with SCCM I gather you get from Ehlertech?

      It really made a big difference on the User profile migrations through SCCM.

      • They're near perfect using the custom XMLs.

      Thanks a bunch

      @Obsolesce

      Great and stream-lined!
      I have quite a lot of settings I cannot get into the default settings in any way like that.

      The OneDrive and other skimpy attempts to give users a solid experience moving to a new PC is to be honest not impressing.

      I have now been replacing quite a few PCs for existing users already over the last week and two today, and it is REALLY time consuming setting up things to make the user feel at home.
      If a Tech and the user spends 2 hours or more each getting everything into place, it equals 16000 wasted hours over a year with roughly 4000 PCs replaced.
      That is madness

      I'll definitely look into a more basic way to move over profile settings, browser favorites, mail account info and all that.

      I realize that during the decade since I worked with this there has been slight improvements like UEV which I will definitely look into more.
