Importing System Information
Use the Import Computer Information option to import new client system
information into the ConfigMgr database. This allows you to deploy an
operating system to a new client system.
Computer Association
A computer association organizes the migration of user state and
settings from a reference client system to a client destination system.
The reference client system is an existing client system that is managed by
ConfigMgr 2007 SP1. This system contains your system’s state and
settings that will be migrated to the specified destination client system.
