Johan Sandoval a5c0a5210e Knowledge base: /docs/<title> permalinks, search, categories, count, better PDF
Articles get their own address (shareable, back/forward work); the list is
searchable by title and text, shows the article count, and is grouped into
Applications and Troubleshooting & Guides via a hidden category line set
from the editor. PDF export lays out at page width with page breaks, a title
block and page numbers; Print uses the browser's vector print. Inline code
is a pill that glows blue on hover, blockquotes no longer squeeze, and
GitHub-style [!NOTE] alerts render. [[Badge]] syntax inside code spans is
left alone.

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

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

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.
