</SPAN></FONT><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'><FONT FACE="Arial">I can tell you the way I do upgrades like that, and it is to backup the user folder to an external hard drive, perform the upgrade, then push the data back. So basically:<BR>
<BR>
1. Login as an admin, open Terminal and use the following to push the user folder to the external drive:<BR>
<BR>
rsync -aEv /Users/<username> /Volumes/ExternalHD<BR>
<BR>
2. Then use Casper to wipe the drive and lay down the 10.5.8 image and all apps.<BR>
<BR>
3. Login to the machine as the user, then logout.<BR>
<BR>
4. Login to the machine as admin, open Terminal, then do the following:<BR>
<BR>
cd /Users/<username><BR>
rm -rf *<BR>
rm -rf .*<BR>
rsync -aEv /Volumes/ExternalHD/<username> ./<BR>
cd ..<BR>
chown -R <username>:staff <username><BR>
<BR>
5. Logout and log back in as the user to verify all of their stuff is there.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
You can do the move of the user data via scripts if you want, but I just like doing it myself to make sure it is done right.<BR>

Does anyone have recommended method to migrated user files and preferences when upgrading computers? Other then Migration Assistant built into a mac. When setting up netboot there is a check box for Clent Data. <BR>
<BR>
Thanks,<BR>
