USMT Failed : The Printer is out of Paper

[SRed]

Well...this is a new one.

 

I started USMT today like I do most days, that is, after hours of tears, frustration, pleading, threats and cajoling, only to be presented with the following error:

 

The task sequence execution engine failed executing the action (Capture User Files and Settings) in the group (Capture User and Files Settings) with the error code 2147942428

Action output: s to user params successful

Building user defined params successful

Building USMT command successful

Log messages are being sent to 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\CCM\Logs\SMSTSLog\scanstate.log'

 

 

USMT returned exit code (0x0000001c). Look USMT log file scanstate.log for detail error message.

OSDMigrateUserState finished: 0x8007001c. The operating system reported error 2147942428: The printer is out of paper. .

 

So...this is a new one.

Figured it out, I didn't add a copy of my MigPst.Xml file to my USMT 32-bit folder. I'd only placed it in USMT for x64, and the command line was failing.

 

The key to solving this was in finding the Scanstate.log file in C:\Windows\System32\CCM\Logs, which contained the following
