I get no loadstate.log file. This is from the web report: A failure exit code of 3 was returned. User context: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Possible cause: Systems Management Server (SMS) determines status for each program it executes. If SMS cannot find or correlate any installation status Management Information Format (MIF) files for the program, it uses the program's exit code to determine status. An exit code of 3 is considered a failure. Solution: For more information on the exit code, refer to the documentation for the program you are distributing. the task sequence is very simple: Request State Restore Restore User State Release State Store The Restore is set to the proper User State migration tool package and it's not restoring anything out of the ordinary. Verbose logging is enabled.

Created a USMT task sequence for computer association. The task will capture the user state on a WinXP box and will put on SMP and hold it for 5 days. Another task sequence is set to restore the data on a PC based on association. The capture task sequence will work fine. But then the restore task sequence fails. Is there a way to manually run the restore?

Wow! That was it. Thanks a bunch! I'll try my task with the query computer model variable and see what happens

Select * just shows the name (minit-jr134dQR or something like that) Select model shows the <no key>

Booting from the boot media created. Press F8 to start cmd prompt type wbemtest press connect and type root\cimv2 and press connect again press Query button and then type Select model from Win32_ComputerSystem and press Apply

Is there any way to update the license key for Office 2010 via a package or within the task sequence? Or is the easiest way just to uninstall O2k10 and then have a package reinstall it with the proper key?

Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem shows <no key>

Is it possible to see what it shows while in the WinPE environment? What would I be looking for in the smsts.log file?

True enough. Essentially, the drivers are called based on the collection variable ComputerType, which the technician has to input during the PXE task sequence. However, the drivers are downloaded and applied and downloaded again and applied again and downloaded again and applied again. These are dell drivers that have been imported to the driver store. I'm not sure if it's because the task is just applying the drivers one by one and has to redownload them over and over... These are machines just out of the box. Never been added to domain, never been collected by SCCM. I'm not smart enough to figure out how to make add the machine into SCCM with the proper model without actually installing the client first. And I don't want to manually do that for the hundreds of machines we are soon getting. During the PXE, the collection variable is called on (OSDComputerName and ComputerType) and the technician puts the info in the box.

No, the collection is All Unknown. Because they are unknown systems, they don't have the model in the WMI so that's why i have the collection variable and the task sequence with ComputerType. I don't think that this has much to do with the drivers taking a long time, though.

Is there a way to suppress the OSD notification icon that shows up in the task bar down at the bottom when a OSD Task sequence is advertised? I'm trying to advertise a task sequence that is also available for bootable media. I don't want folks to randomly start running an OSD on their own. The advert isn't mandatory. I've tried setting it so that it only works on VISTA (this is for XP machines), but when booting from media, the TS isn't available. Any help? NEVER MIND. FIGURED IT OUT. Realized i had selected the "disable where advertised" box Thanks!

They are variables that were placed on the collection (Modify Collection Settings/ Collection Variables tab)

Attached you'll find my task sequence for deploying Windows XP The main problem I'm having is that the sequence will redo the drivers install at least three times before it will continue the task. The way the drivers is called is by model name (it's a variable at the beginning). Is there any way to speed up the driver install or at least stop it from installing them three times (or more)? Windows XP deploy.xml

Ok. I've got an OSD task sequence that my supervisor would like me to change to allow for the installation of software based on what the client PC had on prior to imaging. in other words: Mary Smith had Office 2007 with Visio and had Roxio, iTunes and Winzip. However, the base image only puts Office 2007 standard and Winzip on the machine. Is it possible for the task sequence to do a check against a report that shows what software is installed and then add that software? Keep in mind that this task sequence would be run as Mandatory and has no user interaction at all. Please help. Thanks!

Is it possible to create a report to see if a particular folder exists on a client PC? We're trying to find out if the PC has a folder called "Software 1" Then we'll match that to a report that checks to see if it has a folder called "Software 2" and eventually flag the ones that have both. Possible?

Answer: Write a script to delete the Trusted Root Key on the clients. Deploy via SCCM Then the key will be replaced later on next heartbeat Simple. Brilliant.

I found an HTA that will create a computer association within SCCM and it works great. What I'd like now is to figure out a way to add these PCs to the collections (ie. ComputerA is associated to ComputerB and I'd like ComputerA to be placed in the USMT Capture group and ComputerB to be added to the Restore group). Is it possible?

So here's my situation: I have SCCM server running mixed mode. Our network environment does not have any certificates at all. I set up an SMP on one of the DPs, created the folder and gave Everyone full rights. Created a task sequence to collect data. SMTS log shows this: Failed to verify certificate signature for '<MyServer>' (0X80090006) ClientKeyRequestToSMP failed (0X80090006) ClientRequestToSMP::DoRequest failed. error=(0X80090006) I have reinstalled the client on the target machine, but it seems to make no difference. Question: Do i need to create some kind of certificate on my server? I mean, there is no chance of getting any certificates created from the DC in our environment. I have checked the certificate store on both the SCCM server and the DP. I've found certs in the SMS folder, and copied them to the Trusted folder. No luck. Please help!

Anyone have any luck with getting a USMT 3.0.1 working with this update installed? Our IT security team is convinced that this update is more important than migrating data. Any ideas how to get around it? I haven't tried a win7 migration with usmt4 and this update. Plus, we're not pushing machines to 7 yet...

SUCCESS! I just went back from the beginning and now it seems to be working. In a limited manner...

Here's a stranger item. On the machine I was testing, I installed USMT 3.0.1 and ran this command from the command prompt: scanstate /i:miguser.xml /i:migapp.xml \\fileserver\migration\mystore /nocompress Capture was sucessful. Logs show success. This isn't a solution that will work over 4000 machines, however.

I do have verbose logging enabled. and I have searched for *.log. Nothing.

That's the problem. I get no scanstate logs at all on this machine... it's bizzare. task just fails... grr

I'm trying to put together a USMT sequence to capture the User State on our SMP It's a windows XP machine. Like it or not, the government doesn't want to do a mass exodus to Win7, so we need to capture XP data. I have a four line task sequence. I have advertised it.
