Check and Verify USMT IMG file before formatting the system

Hi Team,
We are using 2 phase approach for migrating from XP to windows 8.1 U1 since we have Config manager 2012 R2. Its a refresh, replace and baremetal scneario
So 1st TS will just do user state backup using ADK8.0 USMT and backup the data on SMP.
2nd TS will format the system, install OS,install Apps and then restore USMT data from SMP
I am looking for some way to check the usmt data on SMP for the system before system is formatted. Can anyone give some pointers to do that in 2nd task sequence? I want if data (img file) is not verified, system should not format and TS should fail.
Regards,

Hi,
Do not use the option /c .
If an errors occur during the capture process, the ScanState command will not continue to run and the TS will fail.
For more information, please review the link below:

    Hi
    My time machine hard drive has stopped working after the latest update and the Disk Utilities says,:
    Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files."

    Thanks for the help.

  • Blue screen, wont boot up, have checked and verified drives, reset pram/vra

    Hi guys, my 3 week old macbook pro has died? Has been fine. Worked last night, shut down, turned on this morning and i got the apple logo grey screen with turning wheel, then a blue screen ... and i have been there all day.
    I have used the hardware test (all ok), checked and verified drives (all ok, a couple files were modified not fixed) using the installation disk.
    restarted a few times now and the same thing occurs, i cant get passed the blue screen. Using install disk and disk utility i can get to my desktop (very limited access can not really do too much)
    does anyone have any ideas? thanks i have none as i have only used mac for about 3 weeks now!!!!

    Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions...
    a couple files were modified not fixed) using the installation disk.
    Try booting from your install disc again. Sometimes it takes more than one pass.
    Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
    If Disk Utility reports errors but cannot repair them, take your MBPro to an Apple store or Apple certified repair provider as it's obviously still under warranty.

  • Can I back up the files before doing the recovery?

    Hello
    If using the recovery disk to load windows (I have Windows Vista 32-bit) is it possible to save files (pictures, etc...) before wiping out these files on the hard drive?
    I have not backed up some files and cannot access windows to do this now...am wondering if I can back up the files before doing the recovery?
    Any help would be appreciated : )

    Hello
    You can try to start Vista in Safe mode. Start your notebook and press F8. Choose option to start OS in safe mode. When Vista starts connect external HDD or USB memory stick and copy all your data there.
    I have done this three weeks ago. I was not able to start Vista properly due to blue screen.

    Hello polo-angulo,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the nature and scope of the issue you are describing. If you are saying that you are getting an error code (3004) when you try to restore your iPhone (because you could not remember your passcode), you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

  • Why can't I update any apps? When I hit update it gives me an old id. But in settings my new id is totally set and verified. How cam I make the change in App Store?

    Why can't I update any apps? When I hit update it gives me an old id. But in settings my new id is totally set and verified. How cam I make the change in App Store?

    App purchases are permanently tied to the ID with which they were purchased. They cannot be transferred to a new ID.
    You will have to enter the password for that ID or delete the apps and re-purchase them with the new one.

  • Firefox will not remember passwords even tho the box is checked and there are no exceptions listed. The little bar asking to save passwords doesn't even come up.

    After an online session, Firefox (6.0.1) crashed and a crash report was sent. After that, Firefox would not start and the crash window kept coming up. I uninstalled it and did a new install. It works fine now except it will not remember passwords even tho the box to save is checked and there are no exceptions listed. The bar asking to save does not come up.

    Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    * To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    * Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    When I try to connect my iPod Nano 4th gen to my laptop I get a message that my device may be corrupted and asks do I want to format the disc.  However, I have hundreds of songs and photos that I don't want to lose. What can I do?

    This can sometimes be the result of a faulty/damaaged USB sync cable.  Do you have another cable you could test it out with?

  • Validate the input file against a given schema inside an orchestration and producing 2 different files based on the validation result

    HI All,
    I have a situation.
    I need to validate the input file against a given schema inside an orchestration and producing 2 different files based on the validation result.
    A predefined success schema in case of  validation success and negative schema structure for validation failure.
    any advice ?

    Hi Rachit,I following the blog
    http://dietergobeyn.be/validating-biztalk-messages-orchestration/ and stuck in few things
    I created a helper class with the name Validation and following code
    [Serializable]
        public class Validation
            private bool _isValid = true;
            public bool Validate(XmlDocument document, Type schema)
                XmlSchemaSet set = new XmlSchemaSet();
                if (typeof(SchemaBase).IsAssignableFrom(schema) && !schema.IsNested)
                    set.Add((Activator.CreateInstance(schema) as SchemaBase).Schema);
                ValidationEventHandler eventHandler = new ValidationEventHandler(HandleValidationError);
                document.Schemas = set;
                document.Validate(eventHandler);
                return _isValid;
            private void HandleValidationError(object sender, ValidationEventArgs ve)
                _isValid = false;
    public static bool ValidateMessage(XLANGMessage msg)
    XmlDocument xDoc = new XmlDocument();
    xDoc = (System.Xml.XmlDocument)msg[0].RetrieveAs(xDoc.GetType());
    Type t = typeof(Schemas.External.Invoice_v3_1);
    Validation validation = new Validation();
    return validation.Validate(xDoc, t);
    First thing, Do i need to write the ValidateMessage method inside the helper class or not ??
    If inside, how to add the reference of schema files in the statement (Type t = typeof(Schemas.External.Invoice_v3_1);)
     I tried adding the reference of my schema project but it is showing error.
    And what is to be written in the ValidateMessage expression shape in Orchestration ?
    Really appreciate your help.

  • Function module to get the file path in the system for TEMP folder

    Hi All,
    Is there any function module that I can use to get the file path in the system for TEMP folder.

    I am unsing 4.0 version.
    Please advice.
    Regards

    In Higher versions, we can use the below code:
    call method CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>ENVIRONMENT_GET_VARIABLE
        exporting
          VARIABLE   = 'TEMP'
        importing
          VALUE      = LV_TMP
        exceptions
          CNTL_ERROR = 1
          others     = 2.
      if SY-SUBRC <> 0.
        message id SY-MSGID type SY-MSGTY number SY-MSGNO
        with SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
      endif.
      call method CL_GUI_CFW=>FLUSH
        exceptions
          CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR = 1
          CNTL_ERROR        = 2
          others            = 3.
      if SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    Error handling
      endif.
      concatenate lv_tmp '\' into folder_path.
    But need to know in the lower versions like 3.1h and 4.0,

  • I took the system file out of the system folder on os 9.2 can't boot to put file back in machine also has osx 10.2 but won't let me boot to either need os 9 compatible boot disk I think?

    I took the system file out of the system folder on os 9.2 can't boot to put file back in machine also has osx 10.2 but won't let me boot to either need os 9 compatible boot disk I think?

    If the OS X 10.2 on the hard drive is/was bootable, try this -
    Restart or boot, then immediately press the X key, keep it held down until you know the machine has started to boot using OS X. This is a hardware instruction to the Mac to boot using the first usable instance of OS X it finds.
    Once booted to OS X, you should be able to move OS 9's System file into OS 9's System Folder.
    Note - in general, unless you know for sure what you are doing and that the results are desired, do not relocate or rename files in OS 9's System Folder or in OS X's System or Library folders.

    hello! My iMac frozed and I had to switch the electricty supply off and on in order to start again the system, with the problem that the screen looks wierd, I tried to calibrate it... doesnt works any suggestion?

    Dear Paul, thank you very much for your time and answer, I followed those steps, somehow it helped the performance of my Imac, is faster now, but the screen issue about the very High contrast colours is still there. Since I am a photographer I am very depending on the screen calibration. I am worried that I came to damage the video card when I shut down the computer from the swicth when It was frozed.
