Office 2007 Migration from XP to Vista

[Alex Maghen]

I am trying to manage the process of moving a large number of our users from
Office 2007 Professional on XP to Office 2007 Professional on Vista
(Ultimate). In the old versions of Office, there was a settings tool that
allowed you to export a settings file ("Save my Settings Wizard"). Is this
gone in 2007? How can I accomplish this when I'm moving users from XP to
Vista on the same Office 2007 versaion (they are new computers, not upgrades).

Thanks.

Hello Ax,

Based on my research, we can use USMT (User State Migration Tool) from
Windows Vista to migrate the Office settings, See:
Section: Steps for Migrating to Windows Vista

About how to use USMT, we can refer to the article:

I would also suggest posting this migration issue to the following
newsgroups
microsoft.public.officeupdate
-or-
microsoft.public.office.misc

The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most
qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who the newsgroups
regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction
with us. Thank you for your understanding.

Have a nice day!
