USMT 5.0 - UserDataLocation - Network

[zophar]

Hello,

I'm trying to use USMT 5.0 in combination with MDT 2012.

Everything is going well, the only thing that isn't working is placing the mig files on a share.

If tried

UserDataLocation=NONE
UserDataLocation=NETWORK
UserDataLocation=%UDShare%\%UDDir%

But the migfiles are placed in c:\staterestore.

It is not a access right problem because the logs are correctly written to the same share. I have to say that the storage for USMT files is not the same then the deploymentshare.

Here is the full cumstomsettings.ini

[settings]
Priority=Default
Properties=MyCustomProperty

SkipBDDWelcome=YES
SkipCapture=NO

UDDir=%OSDComputerName%
UserDataLocation=%UDShare%\%UDDir%
USMTMigFiles001=MigUser.xml
USMTMigFiles002=MigDocs.xml
SkipAppsOnUpgrade=YES

Can anyone tell me where it goes wrong

I know this site ... It is one off the hits in google but I not capable of copying the mig files to the share

 

The problem is that you find lots of customsettings.ini for MDT but 2012 -2012

This is my current setting

 

UserDataLocation=AUTO
UDShare=\\SHARE\MDT\USMT\Migdata
UDDir=%OSDComputerName%
ComputerBackupLocation=NETWORK
BackupShare=\\SHARE\MDT\USMT\Backup
BackupDir=%OSDComputerName%
ScanStateArgs=/v:5 /o /c
LoadStateArgs=/v:5 /c /lac
SLShare=\\hlpdskha\MDT\USMT\Logs
USMTMigFiles001=MigUser.xml
USMTMigFiles002=MigDocs.xml
SkipAppsOnUpgrade=YES

According to the MDT help files, if you set UserDataLocation to AUTO: “The deployment scripts store the user state migration data on a local hard disk of space is available. Otherwise, the user state migration data is saved to a network location, which is specified in the UDShare and UDDir properties.”

 

You should set UserDataLocation=NETWORK in order to get the file to save to the network location you have specified in the UDShare and UDDir properties. You could use the UNC path (not variables) for the UserDataLocation property, but based on your last post, just changing AUTO to NETWORK should resolve your issue.

 

Hope this helps,
