I am experimenting with using SCCM task sequences to move User states from one machine to another. Both machines are Windows 7. Both have the client installed. The problem occurs with the machine I'm migrating from requests a state store from my SMP. It errors out and I can go no farther.The task sequence execution engine failed executing the action (Request State Store) in the group (State Capture) with the error code 8196Action output: B5179ED-311E-4366-85BA-52605375731F} has 1 IPv4 address(es).Loading client certificates.::DecompressBuffer(65536)Decompression (zlib) succeeded: original size 5051, uncompressed size 5235.this->pSigningCert, HRESULT=80092004 (e:\nts_sms_fre\sms\client\osdeployment\osdsmpclient\smpclient.cpp,896)m_ClientInfo.init(), HRESULT=80092004 (e:\nts_sms_fre\sms\client\osdeployment\osdsmpclient\smpclient.cpp,1014)pClientRequestToMP->DoRequest(), HRESULT=80092004 (e:\nts_sms_fre\sms\client\osdeployment\osdsmpclient\smpclient.cpp,2668)ExecuteCaptureRequestToMP(migInfoFromMP), HRESULT=80092004 (e:\nts_sms_fre\sms\client\osdeployment\osdsmpclient\smpclient.cpp,2745)ExecuteCaptureRequest(), HRESULT=80092004 (e:\nts_sms_fre\sms\client\osdeployment\osdsmpclient\main.cpp,72)OSDSMPClient finished: 0x00002004Failed to find client signing certificate.

The operating system reported error 2147500037: Unspecified error As you can see it points to a certificate error but I can't figure out what the problem is. I've verified the certificates on both of the machines I'm using and on the SMP server and everything looks correct. The machine I'm migrating from is Windows 7 and so it does not have the KB974571 issue.

was there any other state capture (or usmt) error code above this one ? My step by step SCCM Guides windows-noob on Twitter

No. This was the only error code. The task sequence stopped on this step.

Try and remove the KB974571 patch from the computer you are backing up..Michaelhttp://kongkuba1.spaces.live.com

This article describes a fix to this problem: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977203/ - Jan-Tore -

WOW...this happens on SCCM 2007 Sp2 with R2 as well, as of now the patch 97720 will not let you apply it to an R2 site. Removing KB974571 did resolve the problem on SCCM 2007 Sp2 R2 though. This impacted my image that did a USMT backup to network, my locak state capture worked without regard to this.

What if 974571 is not installed?

I am still seeing this as well on Windows Server 2008 R2 +Sp1 and an SCCM 2007 Sp2+R3 Site...David Baur

Nope, that doesn't apply to later versions, same problem, but doesn't allow you to apply the patch.David Baur

I do have exactly the same issue. I have SCCM 2007 R3 installed on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 server and try to capture with USMT a Windows XP SP3 machine and a Windows 7 SP1 64 bits machine. The error is the same on both computers. DO I need to extend my AD Schema for that?

Same issue here. Backing up the state to an SMP successfully on a XP SP3 box without the 974 patch, but when doing a restore to a Windows 7 SP1 also without the 974 patch it fails on requesting the state store. If I edit both of the SMS certificates, by adding a 1 and then removing and applying the restore works fine. Any fix? Ta

The 977203 Patch though it will not let you apply it on the Sp2 or R3 SCCM Server, it will let you extract the files. I was able to send out the certfix.exe to my systems and it resovles the cert error, but it did not resolve the problem with locating the SMP. I am moving my SMP to see if that has any impact....also, the Scanstate ID it is looking for is not the same as the one the Loadstate is requesting, and this is just a one PC migrations, I don't have any others out there being done, this is a 'First Test'...so far I am not impressed with the SMP.David Baur

So, in my case, it was something simple, but not documented. Here was my full solution: Check the following: 1. Of Course make sure the XP System does not have KB974571 is not installed. 2. Run the Certfix on the XP Client, and all systems actually (from extracted 977203) For the Capture State the Task Sequence , which is its own Task Sequence it must do the following: 1. Request State Store 2. Capture User State 3. Release State Store (this part is not doucmented very well it seems, and was what I had missing...without this you get an error 0x80004005) For the Restore State Note:It should be the last thing in your OSD Task Sequence 1. Restart the Computer Task (use currently installed O/S) 2. Request State Store 3. Restore User State 4. Release State Store I hope the above helps out and sees you through to success!!!David Baur

It works like a charm now thanks a lot for your help David
