Answer

Release Notes
Introduction
PC Transplant Solution uses its wizard-driven interface to capture a computer's personality—user accounts; desktop, network, and application settings; files; folders; and personal data—and transplants the personality to another computer. You can transplant a personality through a self-extracting executable file called a Personality Package or you can perform a real-time migration from one computer to another.
PC Transplant Solution simplifies the deployment and migration of new computers or Windows operating systems by facilitating the migration of data and settings. It complements existing desktop management tools, meeting an easily identified need that none of these tools currently address. With PC Transplant Solution, you can not only migrate to a new computer quickly and efficiently, but you can also transfer key aspects of a computer's personality on an on-going basis. PC Transplant Solution is an ideal solution for IT administrators, consultants, VARs, resellers, computer vendors, and configuration centers.
PC Transplant Solution is part of the following suites:
- Altiris™ Client Management Suite from Symantec
For release notes, see Knowledge Base article 40929. - Altiris™ Server Management Suite from Symantec
For release notes, see Knowledge Base article 45893.
