MDT Harlink USMT

Hi,
I want to use harlink USMT to Migrate Windows XP to Windows 8.1 through MDT 2013.
for this i made some changes in CustomSettings.ini , i just want to how the USMT will be work completely.
ScanStateArgs=/v:13 /o /c
LoadStateArgs=/v:13 /c /lac
SkipUserData=YES
UserDataLocation=AUTO
UDShare=\\192.168.1.10\Data Backup
UDDir=%OSDComputerName%
I just want to know the
1. where USMT will take the user data to restore in case of Hardlink USMT in Local machines ( i mean extact path)?
2. In case of failure of USMT restore, where can i found the all user data in local machines?
3. what would be hppens if the USMT scanstate will fail?
Shailendra Dev

hardlink migrations should store the user data in Minint\StateStore.
You have to be really careful with the data if the machine fails to build. It will probably be a case of manually copying the data to a network location and then point the restore to that location.

MDT 2013 USMT customization to exclude specific file types

Hi,
I have a need to exclude a specific file type from migration with USMT within MDT 2013.
So far, I think I know the following:
I have to create a custom XML file.
I have to place the custom XML file in the deployment share's Tools\x86|x64\USMT5 folder.
I have to reference the custom XML file customsettings.ini using USMTMigFiles003 (1 and 2 are used by the default files).
I think I'll need to use unconditionalExclude.
However, I am having trouble finding a proper example of a custom XML file. I can find the reference documentation, but actually having a single example isn't as easy to find.
Specifically, I want to exclude all VMDK (VMware virtual hard disks) from being migrated, regardless of where on the machine they are.
Thanks for any assistance,
SA.

You need something like the below. You can find it in the provided link:
<unconditionalExclude>
If you want to exclude a file type from the migration, regardless of the other <include> or <exclude> rules, you can use the <unconditionalExclude> element. This element excludes objects globally across all components. For example, you
should use this element if you want to exclude all .mp3 files from the computer.

OSD - MDT 2013 - USMT Scan/LoadState Runs Successfully but user profiles are not restored.

I have this odd issue that I can't seem to figure out. I have an MDT Task Sequence that I created runs scanstate and loadstate without any issues using hard link. Unfortunately, the user profiles are not loaded/restored after loadstate runs. I can go to
the StateStore folder and manually run the loadstate again or use the Windows Easy transfer to restore the users, but I want this to occur when loadstate runs.
Here is the loadstate log:

I've got this to work although I haven't figured out the root cause.
My initial OSDMigrateAdditionalCaptureOptions were: /Hardlink /nocompress /uel:30 /config:%_SMSTSMDataPath%\Packages\%_OSDMigrateUsmtPackageID%\%Processor_Architecture%\config.xml"
My OSDMigrateRestoreCaptureOptions were: /Hardlink /nocompress /ue:*\* /ui:domain.local\*
Since the restore was failing, I removed the domain name from the ui switch which magically caused the restore process to load the user profiles to the computer.
My final OSDMigrateRestoreCapptureOptions which worked: /Hardlink /nocompress /ue:%computername%.
Just to note /hardlink commands are not necessary when you are using MDT task sequence, but I put it in anyway and it seems ensure that I get consistent results.

Migration 50 Laptop using MS MDT and USMT for BACKUP and DATArecovery

Dears all,
I currently manage a migration project for 50 Laptop via Microsoft MDT2010 and I use USMT for BACKUP and data recovery.
Obviously users have an Iphone and Itunes 10.x.
I would like to know what are the directories under Win XP I need to setup in order to backup the complete IPhone and what are the destination directories to inject them back into Win7 x86.
Keep me posted please .

Nice to see you again here in the forum ewen :) and thanks for sharing your experience with us! Marry Xmas!

USMT - exclude folder c:\Notes but include some specific files in it

Hi,
my name is Paul, I live in Belgium and I'm fairly new to MDT and USMT. We're doing some testing because we want to implement LTI deployments. Since two weeks I'm testing USMT5. I created a Capture User Data Task Sequence and it worked great. All non-windows
folders in the C-drive were copied, all Favorites etc. Even the restore worked! So I was happy. :-) But one non-windows folder in the C:-drive is C:\Notes. This folder is almost 1GB and I only need four small files. I read all information I could find on the
internet but I didn't find any information or examples for my case. Most examples include a folder and exclude some files in it, but I want it the other way around !
Could you help me? So I want to exclude c:\Notes (and all the subfolders) and include c:\Notes\Data\names.nsf, c:\Notes\Data\bookmark.nsf, c:\Notes\notes.ini and c:\Notes\Data\username.id .
This is one of the versions I tried.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<migration urlid="http://www.microsoft.com/migration/1.0/migxmlext/mignotes">

<component type="Documents" context="System">
<displayName>Exclude Notes</displayName>
<role role="Data">
<rules>
<Exclude>
<objectSet>
<pattern type="File">C:\Notes\* [*]</pattern>
</objectSet>
</Exclude>
<include>
<objectSet>
<pattern type="File">C:\Notes\Data\ [bookmark.nsf]</pattern>
<pattern type="File">C:\Notes\Data\ [names.nsf]</pattern>
<pattern type="File">C:\Notes\Data\ [*.id]</pattern>
<pattern type="File">C:\Notes\ [notes.ini]</pattern>
</objectSet>
</include>
</rules>
</role>
</migration>

I believe the XML is case-sensitive, so try <exclude> instead of <Exclude>. Or you could try putting the exclude block after the include block.

USMT 4: How do I NOT migrate Favorites

I am doing a Windows XP to Windows 7 upgrade using MDT and USMT. Although I am using MDT 2013, I have switched it to use USMT 4.0 in order to get Windows XP compatibility.
A customer requirement is that IE Favorites are NOT migrated, but I don't seem to be able to exclude them from the migration.
My MigUser.xml has all the IE sections commented out, i.e.

    
And I can't seem to find anything else in any of the config files (MigApp.xml, MigDocs.xml and my config.xml) which may be migrating them.
My MigUser.xml is configured to migrate .lnk and .url files, as I want to migrate any such files elsewhere in the user's profile. Does this make a difference?
What do I need to do in order to force the exclusion of IE Favorites?
Thanks

You will need generate and use a config.xml file. Example
here (usmt3 but still valid).
Edit the file and turn the YES to a NO for the favorites sections. The same for any other stuff you don't need.
eg.
<component displayname="Favorites" migrate="no"
Put the file in either the USMT folder or the scripts folder.
Add the line USMTConfigFile=Config.xml to your customsettings.ini file.

SCCM 2012 R2 - Migration TS Failed in Release Request Step with Error Code 0x80004005

Hi
I have Upgraded my lab from SCCM 2012 SP1 to SCCM 2012 R2. Now, While I am running TS for Refresh/Replace Migration, its successfully captures all the Data & settings and can also restores all Data & settings, but at release request Step TS got failed.
In SMSTS log file error was "Release Request Failed with error code 0x80004005".
Is there any KB released by Microsoft to fix this issue?? Due to this issue I am unable to run any other TS.

I've seen a few weird scenarios with task sequences after an upgrade from SP1 to R2.
In most cases I've been able to fix these "problems" by simply creating a new task sequence, and copy all the custom steps to the new task sequence.
Also make sure to update boot images, mdt packages, usmt etc. to new versions.
So thats what I'd try first....

Delete MIG after data restore

I am using WDS/MDT with USMT to migrate user data when reformatting PC's. Its working fine. My question is, how can I tell my task sequence to delete the user data (.MIG) that it backed up after restoring it to the PC? These are being backed
up to a network share on the WDS/MDT server itself.

How to save the USMT logs to MDT server during OSD

hi ,
How can i save the USMT logs ( scanstate and loadstate) to MDT server .
I am using below swtiches for Scanstate and Loadstate in CS.ini. What switches i have to use to save theses logs to MDT server i.e network location.
ScanStateArgs=/v:10 /o /c
LoadStateArgs=/v:1 /c /lac
Shailendra Dev

Try setting in your customsettings.ini rule file the following:
SLSHARE=\\MDTServer\Logs$\%ComputerName%
Replace MDTServer with your MDT DNS server name.
Of course you need to create the Logs$ share and set proper permissions
It will copy the deployment log files at the end of the deployment to that location.
Then look in ZTIUserState.log
If you need real-time debugging consider using the SLShareDynamicLogging
property
You can use both:
[Default]
SLShare=\\MDTServer\Logs$\%ComputerName%
SLShareDynamicLogging=\\MDTServer\Logs$\%ComputerName%

MDT 2012 - Failure 9701: Unable to find any version of USMT, unable to perform user state migration. Failed to run the action Restore User State. DNS Record does not exist. (Error: 000025E5; Source: Windows)

I am having trouble trying to capture a new Windows 8 image with WDT 2012.
My Setup -
Server 2012
WDS
MDT 2012
Windows 8 ADK
Hyper-V
I have created a new task and I can get the image to successfully deploy the image to a VM but it seems to fail at the Restore User State task.
Once the install Applications task has finished I added a Suspend task so I could customize the image a little. Upon resuming the task sequence is where the above failure message appears. I can see it gets to the next step (which is 'Restore User State')
but that seems to be where is crashes.
Does anyone have any advice on what I might be doing wrong or what I can do to resolve the above issue?

WAIK being installed was probably your issue so I wouldn't bother disabling the restore task. It is used to migrate user data, docs, and settings on refreshes, not new builds. It doesn't affect CopyProfile, just note that data will be migrated on refreshes so
some aspects may change, ie wallpaper, shortcuts, etc but what gets migrated with USMT can also be configured.

MDT 2012 Refresh Scenrio, USMT to Network, only captures settings but not restoring

Hi
I really appreciate your help on the following scenario:
1. MDT 2012 installed with WAIK 7 (USMT 4.0)
2.CustomSettings.ini includes those parameters:
UserDataLocation=NETWORK
UDShare=\\mdt\UserData
UDDir=%Computername%
3.after Windows 7 migration I can see in UserData folder the migrated Computer name folder which contain USMT folder and a .mig file
4.unfortunatly, the migration does not process the "Restore User State" Task
note: if I'm looking at the BDD log I can see a line: "No user state to restore, exiting"
PLEASE HELP!
אם תשובתי סייע בפתרון לשאלה, אנא הצבע כמועיל, תודה. Best Regards, Ori Husyt - אורי הוסיט

You could try running the script manually (needs to be run before the final summary screen):
cscript.exe ZTIUserState.wsf /debug:true
See if that gives you anything to go off via the command line.
Nope didn't change a thing in the log file of any significance. Still says that there is no user state to restore in ZTIUserState.log

MDT 2013 and USMT 5

I've had MDT 2012 set up and working fine (with USMT 4.0), and have been utilizing the USMT via batch file to copy profiles and transfer them manually in some cases. I'm needing to move some people to Win 8.1 and between computers with 8.1, so I updated
to MDT 2013. As I figured, it broke everything I had going. After putting back the USMT files where they were, the batch files no longer work as they must be "run as administrators". I added my domain admin account as a local admin,
and even tried a plain local admin account. No go. For the life of me, I have no idea what the hang up is. Below is the batch file, what am I missing since this used to work fine? I also cannot simply run the scanstate.exe, and it flashes
a cmd prompt and closes before I can see what it's doing.
if exist "c:\usmt" then Goto SkipUSMT
echo d | xcopy \\server\folder\deployment\usmt\amd64 c:\usmt
cd /d c:\usmt\
set /P Input=Computer Name?
scanstate \\server\folder\deployment\captures\%Input% /i:migdocs.xml /i:migapp.xml /v:13 /uel:90
:SkipUSMT

Gives me nothing more than what I had:

USMT 4 Wrong version error - MDT 2012 update 1

Hi,
we are in process of Migrating XP to windows 7, i have prepared a media using MDT 2012 update 1 and WAIK,
When i started deployment using the DVD i am getting the following error message
" The USMT Files in e:\..\..\x86\USMT4 are the wrong version. failure 9701.
When i checked in the above mentioned path i can see the USMT 4 folder with all required files inside it and i even compared the folder with USMT4 folder of c:\program files\WAIK instllation folder and i did not find any difference between them.
When i tested the deployment from the share folder by accessing (\\itd-mig\deploymentshare$) i was able to migrate without any error.
Can any one help me to find out what is the error about.
Thanks in advance.
D. Sendil Kumar

Ugh...
ValidateCaptureLocation is a function in the Deployment Wizard, the wscript object is *not* available from within the MSHTA environment, so be careful.
Instead of:
wscript.sleep 5000
use this instead:
outility.SafeSleep 5000
Is your DHCP server slow?

How to use USMT hardlink through MDT

hi,
how can i use the USMT hardlink though MDT ? can we hve some step by step?
Shailendra Dev

I don't have a walk-through but there's plenty of stuff in the manual.
You will need to perform a standard REFRESH deployment.
Basically, create a standard task sequence.
Next, from the old machine connect to the deployment share and run the \\server\share$\scripts\litetouch.vbs script.
select the standard task sequence and follow the wizards.
select the move data and settings option in the later wizard panes.
MDT will perform a hardlink in this scenario. To automate this, copy the settings from the summary pane at the end to the customsettings.ini.
Hope this helps.
