Win XP to Win7 upgrade and Replace - Task sequence not executing

[ChandanOmkar]

Hi,

 

I am working with SCCM 2007 and currently i am working on XP to Win7 upgrade and replace scenario.

 

In this task i am facing a problem regarding the TS. The TS is not getting executed in the client machines.

 

Everything is working fine in SCCM, like installing of fresh win 7 through OSD, software distribution.

 

The problem is that the USMT process does not start on client. Do i need to add any program in the created USMT package. What are the possible causes for this?

 

My task consists of the following :

 

capture the user state

applying the captured Win7 image on the pc

restoring the user state

also the application settings should get restore [e.g. outlook and its rules also]

 

Thanks

Chandan Omkar

I also don't get the part that "the USMT process doesn't start". Because looking at these logs I see a working scanstate, which means that USMT is used/ started. So what exactly is going wrong? Maybe you can post you smsts.log

I was facing the problem that the TS was not starting in the client machine. Once it has started and then i have got the above attached log files, but the after few seconds TS failed with error 0x8004005.

 

Now again the TS is not executing in the client machine.

 

I am attaching the client's smsts.log file.

During my XP to win 7 upgrade the following is happenning :

 

User state captured

wim file applied

user state restore process finished

i have logged in

 

but the user state was not restored.

 

I am attaching the log file. I have used hardlinking as well as SMP but in either case it was not restored.

I read in the logfile that you are using the /nocompress /hardlink options in combination with Request State Store. This can be a reason why it fails, as a Request for a State Store will always fail in combination with hardlinks. Hardlinks are stored locally so there is no need for a request.

I have used the same TS XML file for hardlink which is provided by Windows Noob by Niall. in the following link :

Also Niall has specified to add /harlink / nocompress in the following link :

there are two task sequences, one is for hardlinking the other is SMP, which one are you using ? (request state store is in the SMP one...but not the other)

i have used the one which was for hardlinking. Also i have added the auto login.

Now i have used the same TS which was posted by Niall but the user state again does not get restored.

I am attaching the TS and the log files.

Please check.
