One of the main considerations for planning the migration is to determine which migration store type best meets the organization's needs. As part of these considerations, determine the following items:
- How much space is required to run the User State Migration Tool (USMT) components on the source and destination computers.
- How much space is needed to create and host the migration store.
- Whether a local share, network share, or storage device should be used.
- Ensure that user date integrity is maintained by encrypting the migration store.
