USMT creates folder with System and Hidden Permissions

[spadge]

Hi,

 

I use SCCM 2007 and USMT4 to manage our Windows 7 SP1 x64 machines. The build is changing to a single partition (C:\) instead of a C and D drive. When a current machine is rebuilt I have been asked to move all files/folders (with some exceptions) to a new folder on the C drive called C:\Migrated_Data.

 

I can successfully exclude folders from both the C and D partitions and move the data to the C:\Migrated_Data folder. However, the Migrated_Data folder is created with System and Hidden permissions set. Unless these permissions are removed (attrib -s -h) the folder would not be visible to users.

 

I would like to understand why USMT is doing this but after a few days of searching I cannot find an answer to this problem. I could run the attrib -s -h c:\Migrated_Data command within an OSD task sequence step but I would prefer to stop USMT creating the root folder with these permissions.

 

All subsequent folders are not set to hidden.

 

I use the standard MigApp.xml and MigDocs.xml (which I have customised ---- see below) and a custom XML file to migrate application data for the CAD packages we use. I have tried recreating the config.xml (scanstate.exe /genconfig:config.xml) but that has made no difference.

 

Any help / pointers you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
