Yes I realize this is the server forum but it is an admin question not a desktop question.

Our organization is in the (never-ending) process of rolling out new operating systems. And yes much mayhem has ensued. The NT clients are going to 2000 and some 2000 clients are going to XP. The problem is many of the computers have multiple people logging into them and this makes the process of making sure we do not lose any of the users local data a bit tedious. I vaguely remember a commercial for a product called "Moveit" or something like that designed to migrate a users data from one computer to another. If anyone has any experience with software that automates this process please post.

Yes the organization is moving to folder redirects and therefore eliminating the need for this but alas we are a government organization and what logically is the best course may not be the chosen one. ;)

Essentially I'm looking for a package that covers the following requirements:
1) Gathers office documents (doc,dot,xls,ppt,pst,pab...)
2) Has editable lists so we can flag additional extensions to be gathered.
3) Software must work on NT, 2000,and XP.
4) Software must be able to dump the documents to a network share where they can be brought back after the machine has been reimaged.
5) The software needs to be relatively easy to use.
6) The killer, the software needs to be under $150.00 per license.


Thank you for your time.
