Microsoft was one of the first enterprise organizations to deploy the Windows® 7 operating system on a large scale by using the Operating System Deployment (OSD) feature in Microsoft® System Center Configuration Manager 2007. Microsoft Information Technology (Microsoft IT) used System Center Configuration Manager, OSD, the latest version of the User State Migration Tool (USMT), and a customizable XML-based OSD wizard to provide a seamless migration for users who are upgrading from earlier operating systems.
