[[Blue:Start Here]] # Using USMT Dash USMT Dash tracks a Windows device-refresh project: which old (**source**) device is being replaced by which new (**destination**) device, and how far each migration has got. ![How USMT Dash works](images/USMT%20Dash%20Architecture.png) ## The Pages | Page | What it's for | |---|---| | **Tracked Devices** | Register devices under a *tag* (your name, a date batch, a department...). The worker only watches tagged devices. | | **My Workbench** | Personal stacks: paste the devices on your cart and see just those. Saved in your browser. | | **USMT Status** | Every tracked migration, grouped by status, with ping, free space and USMT log lines. | | **All Devices** | Compares source and destination software and lists *specialty* apps missing from the new device. | | **Custom View** | Build your own table: add, remove, resize, drag and filter any column. | | **Documentation** | This knowledge base. Articles named after an app are linked from that app in the software view. | ## Migration Status ![Migration lifecycle](images/Migration%20Lifecycle.png) | Status | Meaning | |---|---| | Not Started | Association exists, no backup yet | | Backup In Progress | Scanstate log on the source is actively being written | | Backup Completed | Backup finished, waiting for the new device | | Restore In Progress | Loadstate log on the destination is active | | Completed | Restore finished successfully | | Not Associated | No computer association in ConfigMgr | | Skipped | The device's tag has **Skip USMT** ticked (inventory only) | ## Tips - Pair devices manually with `SOURCE, DESTINATION` on one line when there's no ConfigMgr association. - Click any device name for full details: location, users, hardware, AD groups. - **Copy Location Info** builds a ready-to-paste table for facilities or asset tickets. - In articles, `[[Copy:text]]` creates a click-to-copy link, and `[[Yellow:Label]]` adds a badge.
