Abstract: A system and method is provided a user controlled and automated migration of a client computer using a deployment framework with update tools. The method includes the operation of determining user migration specifications for a client computer using information received from a user through a user migration control interface coupled to the deployment framework. Another operation is checking the migration compliance of the client computer that is associated with the user. A client computer profile is generated based on the migration compliance of the client computer and the user migration specifications. An electronic approval can then be received from the user via the user migration control interface to initiate the migration of the client computer. A further operation is migrating the client computer as predetermined by the client computer profile using update tools connected to the deployment framework.
