hi, We currently encounter a problem when we use USMT 4 hardlink migration from Windows 7 to Windows 7. User's profiles are stored on D drive and system on C. The error occurs during scanstate step. Scanstate failed because it searchs profiles on the C:\USers. In our case, there are stored on D:\USers. We found the error detail in the USMTCapture.log: 2011-07-30 01:47:37, Error [0x000000] MigStartupOffline caught exception: Win32Exception: C:\Users: The system cannot find the file specified. [0x00000002] class UnBCL::String *__stdcall UnBCL::Path::GetLongName(const class UnBCL::String *) questions are : does hardlink support migration of profiles that are not on the default location ? If yes how can we resolve this issue ? By advance, thank you Régis & seb

Hi, I'm currently working on the same issue with offline migration to a network store in Windows PE (not hardlinking). Our profiles are on D: drive but scanstate fails with an error saying that it cannot find C:\Profiles. When I run scanstate in Windows XP online environment, it finds the profiles on D: drive and complete successfully. I have been looking at customization XML files for days but could not achieve anything so far. Any comments on this appreciated. Thanks.

Hi mario2007, thanks for your answer; but if I run the same ConfigMgr Task Sequence on an XP test computer with profiles in default location under C: (system) disk, the offline backup step works perfectly on WinPE. It fails when the profiles are on D: drive.

About Batuhan post I Know that offline capture with WinPE is not supported in ConfigMgr+USMT 4.0, instead is supported with MDT 2010 Update 1 with UDI feature.

Hi, Insert a step before the capture starts, with a run command line and put this command in it: mklink /J C:\Users D:\Users After it will be able to "see" what's in D:\Users... Thing is it woun't be able to "copy" the files out of it so change the OSDStateStorePath to D:\ ok? It should work after that. Let me know the results.
