USMT Offline Migration in Windows PE with Hardlinks

Found this blog after beating my head against the wall trying to use SMP migration. I have basically used your TS with the addition of some driver and software installations. I am running into an error with the registry unload section.
The smsts.log is giving me ERROR: The Parameter is incorrect/Failed to run the action: Unload Registry. incorrect function. (error:00000001; source:Windows)
The TS is being ran on a WinXP x86, I am using the WinPE x86 boot image.

I edited away the logfile that was very long. /Mathias

       I am receiving vbscript errors when running this receiving incorrect function errors in the logs. Looking at the vbs scripts in vbs edit and notepad ++ I’m showing line 16, column 1 subscript out of range, the storage control block is invalid. any ideas? the exact error in smsts is:

“C:\_SMSTaskSequence\Packages\P020020B\copy_and_runscanstate.vbs(15, 37) Microsoft VBScript compilation error: Expected ‘)’ ”

any help appreciated!

thank you! I just deleted that step in the sequence. down to my last two problems,(I hope)! On the Partition Disk 0 (Bare Metal), it runs, even with the conditions in place, wiping out my state store!

I am posting a picture of the task sequence and step in the technet forums here:

second problem: while the task sequence is running, it creates the OSDStateStorePath of C:\USMToffline, verified via F8, My Set restore options are present and correct. copy_and_runscanstate.vbs runs and “gathers” user data, yet while checking the statestore folder, no data gets placed there! Reading the loadstate.log I get the following error:

invalid store path; check the store parameter and/or file system permissions[gle=0x00000006]

and the USMT process basically fails. I disabled the “remove state Storage” step so I could verify it was there and verify its contents,( no user data). I just spend an hour and a half slowly going through the guide, step by step, checking and rechecking everything. Where should I go from here to get this running correctly sir?

got it working my friend! Thank you SO much!!!

Hello

I am new in SCCM, so sorry about possible silly questions. I have build up a base image (wim file) that has all the apps and basic configurations. For the final deploy for my users i have a TS that apply that base wim with a few other step, namely driver packages and a registry change that redirects the folder “users” for the D: drive. Everything works fine, Now what i need to do is to build a new TS for refresh scenarios, following the above explanation everything seems to work fines, except for the fact the my profiles are located on d:\users, and when the TS finishes one of the two scenarios happens:

a) if i use the step to redirect the users profile do drive D:, when i logon to the machine it creates a second profile in the D: drive. For example if the user is John, a have a john profile (the old one containing the real data) and a new one DOMAIN\john, which of course is empty without the migrated data.

b) if i simply just disable this redirection step, when i logon it creates a new profile named john in drive c:\users and it just ignores the old profile in D:\users\john

I need to maintain the D:\users\john profile and that after the refresh when the user logon it assumes the old profile. Can anyone help me in this situation? what on hell am i doing wrong ….

Thanks on advanced :)
