We're about to begin a refresh project for about 100 XP Pro laptops and have a concern with regards to the .NK2 file which holds cached email addresses(?). If possible we'd like to have USMT move/migrate this but I can't find anything that confirms that this happens automatically or has been done before. I see lots of manual processes but at this point I'm not sure that we can use that. Has anyone done this or seen this done? Perhaps you can point me to a resource that can give me an idea how its done? Any information would be appreciated. USMT seems to get a lot of the details but missing this part seems odd. Thanks in advance for any responses.

I did some research and found out that you have to specify the Outlook and Office things in a custom.xml file while migrating.Custom XML examples
I then found a tool where you can generate such a file which also includes NK2 files. The tool is called USMT XML Builder. You can generate with this tool the XML file needed for Office 2003 and Office 2007,which also includes NK2 files (and also a lot more needed for Office)
