Hello, we have been upgrading our machines from XP to Win7 and using USMT for user state migration, and everything has worked beautifully! Until lastnight. This one laptop is giving us a hard time with the restore process. We keep getting error 34 even when using our highest admin rights. I have tried to restore it using command promt with my admin account (run as different user). I have tried the command promt as an administrator and with my email enabled admin account. AND I have tried going directly to the server and running the RESTORE.cmd from there. One thing I should mention although no one in my shop thinks it's a problem. We were backing up and restoring to the same laptop and changed the name of the laptop before the restore was run. However I have tried using both the new and old computer names as the source computer name.

Any thoughts?

This blog looks like it has been quiet for a while.

Do you guys talk about using USMT in SCCM and MDT using Hardlink. I have some issues where it fials to run USMT scanstate and other times the scanstate runs but fails to run the loadstate. This isnt as bad because I can run the loadstate after the task sequence finishes.

If this is the problem I am running into, I am going to tattoo this entire blog post to my forehead so no other person will become a victim of the USMT 3.x bug again! Will test tomorrow....

I wonder if there is any workaround to run scanstate offline in windows XP SP0/SP1/SP2 (using USMT 3.0.1) using DART/WINPE?
