Sorry, which batchfile are you referring to? I'm using the "Capture User state" task sequence with "customize how user profiles are captured (MigApp, MigDocs and MigUser specified), and all 3 checkbox options enabled.

Well, that got rid of one error - now I see - The task sequence execution engine failed executing the action (Capture User Files and Settings) in the group (Capture User Files and Settings) with the error code 2147942428 Action output: eprogress.log" /i:"C:\_SMSTaskSequence\Packages\SMA00123\x86\MigApp.xml" /i:"C:\_SMSTaskSequence\Packages\SMA00123\x86\MigDocs.xml" /i:"C:\_SMSTaskSequence\Packages\SMA00123\x86\MigUser.xml" /hardlink /nocompress Creating directory "c:\_SMSTaskSequence\userState" Connection request for "c:\_SMSTaskSequence\userState" Path is not a UNC Path.

Look USMT log file scanstate.log for detail error message.. The operating system reported error 2147942428: The printer is out of paper. the scanstate log says it can not find MigUser.xml, and will occxasionaly say the same about MigApp.xml. i notice that the command line for scanstate is c:\_smstasksequence\Packages\PackageID\, yet the command line for the xml files is c:\_smstasksequence\Packages\PackageID\x86\ - however the EXE and the XML files are in the same directory in the package - so it appears to be looking in the wrong place for the XML files. Where do I chage that? Sorry for all the dumb questions, but this has been pretty frustrating.......

So you're saying for the capture it should be pointing to \USMT\x86 (since the current OS is XP), and the Restore should be pointing to X64 (since the final OS is win7 64bit)?

Hi I've been trying the to use the example task sequence posted by Niall Brady, but continue to have the following error crop up at the "Capture User Files and Settings" step. Does the "/hardlink is not a valid option" indicate a problem with the version of USMT? I've upgraded the WAIK, and my package is pointing to the USMT directory (including the x86 and AMD64 subs, so I'm pretty sure I'm trying to run USMT 4.0). Any suggestions?
