When using the User State Migration Tool (USMT) to gather and restore user state, offline migration reduces the cost of deployment by: For example, the ScanState tool can run in Windows, gathering files from a previous Windows installation contained in the Windows.old directory. The Windows.old directory is created during Windows installation on a partition that contains a previous installation of Windows. The ScanState tool can gather files and settings from the Windows.old directory. The ScanState tool can be run from within Windows PE, gathering files and settings from the offline Windows operating system on that machine. Offline migration enables the ScanState tool to run inside a different Windows operating system than the Windows operating system from which ScanState is gathering files and settings.
