User State Tab

The Kaseya User State Management (KUSM) add-on module provides backup, restore and migration of local user accounts, user settings, application settings, and system settings. This includes group-based policies for the definition and deployment of printers and mapped drives and system-wide policies for the definition and deployment of power management options.

In addition KUSM enables the definition and deployment of desktop standard packages. Desktop standard packages provide IT staff and MSPs a convenient way of maintaining consistency across an organization and enables the enforcement of corporate standards.

Staff and users invest a considerable amount of time customizing their user settings, application settings, and system settings, including browser bookmarks and custom-shortcuts on their system. Preserving customizations and settings during an OS or computer hardware upgrade is error prone and becomes unmanageable when migrating multiple machines at once. KUSM's user state migration allows automation of the entire process, saving staff and users valuable time.
