I am now trying an offline PE capture and install using this guide: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/mdt/thread/37f9b92b-181d-4629-a424-a3a6b2b08e9c/#31e210ca-4be6-4603-a9d4-f4851c403038 I have run the task as in the link above, I am now receiving 7 errors, but the error listed is: Litetouch deployment failed = return code = -2147467259 0x80004005 An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format (Error:0000000B; Source: Windows) Any thoughts on this? Thanks again.

I installed USMT 4.01 but it doesnt install through the Information Centre you have to use it through the Windows AIK install. It is in the USMT folder of the deployment share though. I haven't made an changes to any of the xml files i just want to get it to a basic stage that it will work and then I can start getting slightly more advanced with the xml files, do I have the CS.ini setup correctly? This is what it looks like now: [settings] Priority=Default Properties=MyCustomProperty [Default] OSInstall=Y SkipAppsOnUpgrade=YES SkipCapture=NO SkipAdminPassword=YES SkipProductKey=YES SkipDomainMembership=YES JoinDomain=DOAMIN DomainAdmin=username DomainAdminDomain=Domain DomainAdminPassword=password SkipLocaleSelection=YES KeyboardLocale=en-gb UserLocale=en-gb UILanguage=en-gb SkipTimeZone=YES TimeZoneName=85 USMT4=YES WIPEDISK=TRUE UserDataLocation=Network UDShare=\\lonbackup\profiles UDDir=%computername% USMTMigFiles1=migapp.xml USMTMigFiles2=miguser.xml Do I need the USMT files above if they havent been edited? Anyway...I am still getting the error: ZTI ERROR - Unhandled error returned by ZTIUserState: Object required (424) Thanks for your help with this.

OK I've run through this job and the following error come up: ZTI Error - Unhandled error returned by ZTIUserstate: Object Required (424) Here is a copy of my rules file [settings] Priority=Default Properties=MyCustomProperty [Default] OSInstall=Y SkipAppsOnUpgrade=YES SkipCapture=NO SkipAdminPassword=YES SkipProductKey=YES SkipDomainMembership=YES JoinDomain=DOMAIN DomainAdmin=account DomainAdminDomain=domain DomainAdminPassword=password SkipLocaleSelection=YES KeyboardLocale=en-gb UserLocale=en-gb UILanguage=en-gb SkipTimeZone=YES TimeZoneName=85 UserDataLocation=AUTO UDShare=\\lonbackup\deploymentshare$ UDDir=%computername% USMTMigFiles1=migapp.xml USMTMigFiles2=miguser.xml Anything you can see from the above that may cause this? Thanks for the help.

OK I'll try these out tomorrow, I didn't realise you had to create a seperate task for this, which I found out today.. I'll be in touch, thanks again for the help.

Hi guys, a real noob here when it comes to this, my boss in the last couple of days has asked me to look into and get working a valid deployment solution for Windows 7 onto our existing Windows XP infrastructure. Now, I have already setup so that I can boot to PXE and install the .wim file thus creating a new Windows 7 PC, however, I need to use USMT 4.0 also. What I would like to be able to do is the following: Boot Client PC to Windows PE (which I can do) Capture User Data (No Idea) Install Windows 7 image (working) Restore Data. Is this even possible, or do I have to do it some other way, I have no idea how to create a task like this in my Deployment Workbench. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been reading about this for 2 days now and my head is spinning!
