 Richard Smith: Dan Cunningham's Workstation Migration Assistant (WMA) is a visual wrapper for the User State Migration Tool , designed to simplify the capture / restore process for  end-users, and at the same time being highly configurable so that it can be customised to suit different organisational needs.    Some of it’s features that have interested me include:      - The ability to migrate via a pre-defined network storage location, external USB drive, or user-specified location. USB drive detection is automatic, and you can decide whether drives below a certain size are ignored (ie, memory sticks) 
     - An optional Hard Disk Health Check that will run a CHKDSK prior to capture and fix errors if any are found 
     - An optional Encryption using a pre-defined company encryption key, or per-user customised encryption (for highly sensitive data that can’t be stored on a server without being encrypted) 
     - The ability to use different configurations for “XP Only” (XP > XP) migrations or standard (XP > Vista and Vista > Vista) migrations
     - Automatically run pre and post-capture / restore scripts and programs (very useful to further configure machine settings) 
     - Migrate domain only accounts, or domain and local.
