Solution: When using USMT 4 in an SCCM 2007 SP2 OSD Task Sequence, files are captured successfully but not settings

[anyweb]

When running a SCCM 2007 SP2 Task Sequence with a "Capture User State" task that utilizes USMT 4, files are properly captured and restored but settings may not be. The SMSTS.log will not show any errors, however the scanstate.log will show the following error:

 

<Date> <Time>, Info [0x000000] Downlevel Manifests folder is not present. System component settings will not be gathered.

 

Settings that may not be captured include printers, mapped network drives, and wallpaper.

 

The cause and solution is discussed here:
