Hi, I was wondering if you could help me out. I have created the task sequence from building upon XP to W7 Demo found here using Offline Mode in Windows PE using USMT 4 via a task sequence in SCCM 2007 SP2 and I am running it it from a usb drive. Everything is working fine and the pc is been added to the domain except the users settings are not been restored. The USMT offline folder has been created and is on the C drive. I cannot find why it is not working? I have added my task sequence below. Any help would be much appreciated as I have 5000 pc's and laptops to build over the next year.

will you post pics of the restore tab, showing both sections please? (properties and options. I just went through this about a week ago, was a bear to get going correctly, but once I got it it rocks!

Hi, Here you go. In Set USMT Options there is nothing set. In Retore User Files The box Continue on Error is ticked Thanks

will you please post the options tab for restore user files and settings? Also, are you using customized .xml files for the capture and restore? This may seem silly, but make sure you aren't mixing x86 and x64 anywhere! What finally got me going was to sit down and write out a document showing the process step by step, mouse click by click with pictures. That's how I ultimately found and corrected my problem. I'd be glad to send it to you......

Hi, I checked for x86 and x64 and they arent mixed. I have pasted the options screen below, no im not using an xml for the capture and restore. If you could send me your steps that would be great as I have gone through this for the last 2 weeks and cant find whats wrong.

Email address sir? It would be helpful if we could attach files here! :( . PLEASE scan my document with a reliable antivrus for your peace of mid sir.

sent, hope it helps........

Can I ask do you deploy your images over the network or standalone media. I am using a USB drive to deploy ithe image

The document I sent was for USB key deployment.....

For some reason it keeps failing at the Offline Use migration stage with error code 00000001 and I am not sure why. i have added the scripts to the USMT folder

That's basically a "file not found" error. Will you copy and paste the contents of the .vbs here?

here you go, thanks '========================================================================== ' VBScript Source File ' NAME: copy_and_runscanstate.vbs ' AUTHOR: mathias@haas.se ' DATE : 2011-04-13 ' COMMENT: v1.1 ' Does USMT hardlinking offline from WinPE.
