Hi all. I am trying to get Offline USMT Capture and Restore working but failing to do so.
A little background info:
I am using a SCCM 2012 SP1 environment with MDT 2012 integrated.
I have a Windows 7 Deployment Task Sequence that I intend to use to refresh old Win 7 builds or upgrade Win XP builds.
My testing of the Online USMT (with hardlinks) has been 100% successful - i.e. I start the Win 7 Deployment TS from the desktop. The computer Captures the user state to c:\StateStore, reboots the machine, copies the new image, configures the OS and restore the user state.
My testing of the Offline USMT (with hardlinks) has been a 100% failure.
I disabled the section "Online USMT", however now the TS completes the re-image of the PC but there has been no OFfline USMT capture (and therefore no restore). There is no scanstate.log or loadstate.log created.
This leads me to believe that State Capture is not even starting - however I cannot find evidence or this in the smsts.log file.
I think my biggest problem is the lack of understanding on where/when/how certain parts of the Task Sequence are executed/skipped based upon the various OS Task Sequence Variables.
All the instuctions I have seen on Offline USMT in SCCM 2012 use the standard SCCM 2012 Task Sequences - none seem to refer to MDT 2012 integrated Task Sequences.
Has anyone got this working successfully in SCCM 2012 with MDT 2012 TS's?
Resources I have read (all which are using SCCM 2012 Task Sequences)
