| Abstract | The idea of replacing faculty and staff computers can be daunting, to say the least, and data transfers have always been an inefficient monster. This year, Bucknell University has integrated the latest version of Microsoft's free User State Migration Tool into our desktop replacement process, allowing us to migrate multiple users and their data from one machine to another without any need for the client's presence.The User State Migration Tool has allowed us to drastically reduce the amount of time and user interaction required to replace faculty and staff computers.In order to successfully use this tool in our workflow, we needed to perform several important customizations: 1. Create custom INF files so the tool will only migrate the data we wanted to keep. 2. Create GUI front ends to either remotely back up a client's profile to a network drive or remotely back up a profile to a new machine and automatically load the profile on the new machine. 3. Create a webpage that allows us to view the status of all the profile transfers that are currently in progress. By customizing and automating the User State Migration Tool, we have been able to streamline our desktop replacement process and reduce the time spent and manpower needed to re-image existing computers and setup newly deployed computers. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
