Overview/Description
Before applications can be deployed on Windows devices, the currently installed ones along with the network need to be assessed for any issues. Mitigation solution also needs to be identified to ensure applications function correctly once deployed. A strategy for how to migrate user state migration also needs to be identified to ensure users do not lose any data. This course will demonstrate how to assess application compatibility issues and identify mitigation solutions. It will also cover user state migration strategies and how to implement them using USMT. This course is one in a series of Skillsoft courses to help prepare for the 70-695 Deploying Windows Devices and Enterprise Apps certification exam.

Target Audience
