    Hi all,

    I created a USMT scenario which worked fine for data/setting transfers between Windows 7 and Windows 10 (1511.)

    I've updated our image to the new Windows 10 (1607). From then on the problems with the migration started. In my test case, only 1 of the 7 printers are transfered to the new Windows 10 (1607) image. Bofore that (transfer to 1511), all worked fine.

    I use the following xml code for the transfer:

    <!-- This component migrates network printers -->
<component type="Documents" context="User">
   <displayName>Mapped Printers</displayName>
      <role role="Data">
	<rules>
	  <include>
	    <objectSet>
	      <pattern type="Registry">HKCU\Printers\Connections\* [*]</pattern>
	      <pattern type="Registry">HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows [Device]</pattern>
	    </objectSet>
	  </include>
	</rules>
    </role>
</component>

    Is anyone else having problems with printer migration to Windows 10 (1607)?

    PS: Already tried the USMT from ADK 1511 and USMT from ADK 1607, both give the same issues.

    Created a ticket with Microsoft.

    It's a known issue. Their answer:

    Cause: Known bug.

    Resolution: Hotfix is expected to be released in October to solve the issue.

    The loadstate.log is exactly the same on Windows 10 1511 and Windows 10 1607. It seems that Windows 10 1607 handles the printers (or drivers?) differently?

    I was hoping that the new cumulative update KB3176938 would solve this issue, but it's not :(

    I'm also interested in an update on this - seem to be unable to migrate network printer connections from Windows 7 (x86) to Windows 10 1704 (x64) - if that's even possible?

    Hi,

    I am trying to achieve the same. I am going to migrate windows 7 to windows 10 - Format and install - I am not backing up user data, it is taken care by desktop backup solution but I stuck with Network printers for users. Can you share your experience and TS if possible.

    Thanks
