1. Windows XP to Windows 7 using P2V Migration

2. Agenda Deploying Local P2V Migration for SA Retro Mode Scripts Customize MDT 2010 with Disk2VHD Windows Virtual PC Shell Integration Deployment Methods: USB/DVD/WDS/SCCM OSD

3. Key Takeaways Understanding P2V Migration for SA When to use P2V Migration Tools used for Deployment Different Deployment Methods

4. DEMO Jumpstart Windows XP to 7…Local P2V Migration

5. Key ingredients ready  MDT an infinitely customizable engine  Disk2VHD to P2V the starting OS  Windows Virtual PC  RemoteApp Hotfixes for everything XP SP3 and newer  Fix for Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Emulation work had started

6. Specific Tools  Disk2VHD.exe. Sysinternals tool for performing P2V hard disk conversion Disk2VHD.exe  KB961742-v3.exe. Update for Windows XP with SP3 to enable RemoteApp support KB961742-v3.exe  Windows6.0-KB961741-x86.msu.

7. Here’s what we wanted to do… (Then) new Sysinternals Disk2VHD.exe Converts XP to a VHD Windows 7 is Installed with Applications, User State and Previous Windows XP + Apps MDT 2010 or ConfigMgr Initiates and Runs Fully-Automated OS Migration Process

8. What is Sysinternals Disk2VHD? Uses Volume Snapshot capabilities introduced in Windows XP/2003 VHD conversions can be performed online and saved to the same volume It’s free and very powerful

9. Sysinternals Disk2VHD UI for Windows Vista/2008 and newer operating systems UI for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003

10. The P2V Process as added to MDT Prepare Windows for VHD Conversion 0. Validate that Disk2VHD can run (check volume size, determine storage location, check for VSS service health)0.

Save output VHD to a protected location (C:\minint folder or off the drive using USMT- like logic).5. Save output VHD to a protected location (C:\minint folder or off the drive using USMT- like logic). Install Windows 7 and Virtual PC 6. Clean install of Windows 76. Clean install of Windows 7 7. Virtual PC Added to Windows 7 Installation like any hotfix (msu)7. Virtual PC Added to Windows 7 Installation like any hotfix (msu) 8. Native applications are installed via the task sequence8. Native applications are installed via the task sequence Make Windows XP VHD Available on the Windows 7 Host 9. Create Virtual Machine Configuration (VMC) File9. Create Virtual Machine Configuration (VMC) File 10.(If local admin) Open Virtual Machine so that Integration Components are Installed for USB Support and Applications in Start menu10.(If local admin) Open Virtual Machine so that Integration Components are Installed for USB Support and Applications in Start menu 11. Add HTA script to default user profile in order to “Add Old Apps to Start Menu”11. Add HTA script to default user profile in order to “Add Old Apps to Start Menu” Complete Installation and Prepare for User 12. Run USMT Loadstate12. Run USMT Loadstate 13. Migration complete – first user ready to log in.13. Migration complete – first user ready to log in. 14. Domain-joined user runs HTA to install integration components and publish apps to start menu14. Domain-joined user runs HTA to install integration components and publish apps to start menu

11. But again there are challenges 1.What happens with licensing and activation? 2.Could we support something with a HAL swap in the process? 3.Could we enhance Disk2VHD and the process to make it more failsafe?

12. DEMO Enabling P2V in MDT and Configuration Manager Task Sequences Understanding Scripts for Migration

13. What happens in Replace Scenarios? HTA for Adding Old Applications to Windows 7 Start Menu Found in the default profile start menu

14. When does this make sense? “Not for every desktop, but for every organization” When we cannot fix or purchase a native working application Where a standardized Virtual PC image will not suffice For critical users with highly specialized desktops – and everything must return

15. Comparing Application Compatibility Mitigations… 1 some limited applications do not run in Virtual PC, due to performance requirements or RemoteApp (TS) issues 2 standard images cater to global install-base, specialized applications would require custom images 3 would require reinstallation of all applicable fixes – some may not be available anymore 4 depends on how well the physical PC was managed before conversion 5 depends whether VHD needs to leave the machine for computer refresh, high bandwidth for replace scenario

16. Limitations? Windows XP SA/VL media customer has reimaging rights VPC only supports VHD captured disks up to 127GB Companies may be too slow to replace Windows XP applications with Windows 7 native applications

17. DEMO …Back to where we left, are we done?
