I'm not knowledgeable enough to speak to that confidently, but my guess would be that with dnf-automatic and yum.cron, you're using systems in the OS specifically designed for their use cases, being automatic OS updates. While you can likely accomplish this with a cron job, you'd be performing a "work-around" solution rather than the intended solution. Anything more specific than that I can't answer.

Using USMT for the first time in about 5 years.
Works well in Windows 10.
Quite good though it omits Chrome and FF bookmarks, still need to do this manually.
I also think 3rd party website passwords for Edge/IE were not migrated, though site logins were. -
I got the YDMP software to register one phone, and then nothing. Grr wtf. . .
I'm tired and have other things to deal with. .

Sending out mass emails and preparing to shut down all the things... the building maintenance people are cutting power to the entire building tonight for "1 hour". We will see if that projected time frame is accurate. Either way, I'll be getting overtime to go have dinner and drinks while I wait.

Just finished some GPO clean-ups and reworking. Some Windows 7 settings interfere with Windows 10, so it was time to separate the GPOs and use the WMI filters for OS version.

@black3dynamite easy to get going. how long it takes depends on the user profile
