windows 8 deployment USMT Failure

[2nutz4u]

My Current Setup:

Windows 2008 R2

SCCM 2007 fully patched as of 12/4/2008

MDT 2012 update 1

USMT 5.0

 

Goal:

I am trying to do a refresh from windows 7 x64 to windows 8 x64 using USMT to retain data for domain accounts via hardlink and offline.

 

Issues:

Everything works except the data is not migrated over.

 

Notes:

From what I read but could be wrong MDT 2012 update 1 has out of box for hardlink process. Do not have to create custom batfiles and vbs script.

 

Snip from my log:

I have attached log file and task sequence file. I would appreciate any help.

Have you seen this: http://www.petervanderwoude.nl/post/migrating-to-windows-8-by-using-hard-links-with-configmgr-2012/

[2nutz4u]

Yes, I have. I do not see all the options under capture file and settings as shown in the picture. For example I do not see caputure locally by using link...etc. Note I am running sccm 2007 with USMT 5.0 and MDT 2012 update 1. Maybe those options are surpressed.

As suggested in this TechNet forums thread, you might want to ensure you update the deployment share so that the proper USMT folder is created in the tools directory. Another poster, Frank, suggests adding the USMT5 folder to the tools folder and necessary architecture.

 

Also, you might want to check the Windows 8 page on the Springboard Series on TechNet for additional resources.

Sorry I missed the SCCM 2007 part... I read Windows 8, so I assumed it was SCCM 2012... Officially the deployment of Windows 8 isn't supported with SCCM 2007..

Partial success..

I following the direction http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1735-using-offline-mode-in-windows-pe-using-usmt-4-via-a-task-sequence-in-sccm-2007-sp2/

I see the files located in the USMT offline folder but they did not successfully restored the profiles. I am interested in the domain profiles I don't care about local profiles. I believe the issue is due to because system did not join the domain.

Is there any way to restore profile after joining the domain manually?
