  1. Cross Post from https://www.ccrossan.com/sccm/sccm-1511-driver-migration-fails/ While migrating drivers from SCCM 2012 to SCCM 1511, the migration can fail with the following error message: Couldn't find the specified instance SMS_CategoryInstance.CategoryInstance_UniqueID='DriverCategories: This occurs given the following scenario: A driver is added to SCCM A category is assigned to the driver The category is deleted from the driver The migration job attempts to migrate the driver to a new SCCM environment Consider the following error message: Couldn't find the specified instance SMS_CategoryInstance.CategoryInstance_UniqueID='DriverCategories:78266da1-ebac-4c12-b2c8-89451383b03e An In-depth analysis shows that the driver category does not appear in the WMI Class SMS_CategoryInstance: Get-WmiObject -Namespace $Namespace -Class SMS_CategoryInstance -Filter "CategoryInstance_UniqueID = 'DriverCategories:78266da1-ebac-4c12-b2c8-89451383b03e'" Returns Null, but a SQL query indicates that the Category Instance still exists: SELECT * FROM CI_CategoryInstances WHERE CategoryInstance_UniqueID LIKE ‘%78266da1-ebac-4c12-b2c8-89451383b03e%’ Returns the following: CategoryInstanceID CategoryInstance_UniqueID CategoryTypeName DateLastModified SourceSite ParentCategoryInstanceID IsDeleted rowversion 16777602 DriverCategories:78266da1-ebac-4c12-b2c8-89451383b03e DriverCategories 2015-07-27 11:52:33.000 CM1 NULL 1 0x000000000A36B34D Take note of the “IsDeleted” column – set to True So, at this point, WMI reports that this category no longer exists; however the category is still in the SQL Database, though this is not the root of the problem. Now consider the WMI Class SMS_CategoryInstanceMembership: This class contains a correlation of Objects to CategoryIDs. This is not limited to Driver <-> Driver Category correlation. The true bug seems to be that when a driver category is removed, the entry for that driver category in the SMS_CategoryInstanceMembership class is not removed. In order to fix this, and have a successful migration, we need to manually remove the CategoryInstanceMembership object for any drivers that were assigned a now deleted category. to Fix: Fire Up SQL Server Management Studio Create a New Query, and select your Site Database For each failing driver entry (as seen in “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Logs\migmctrl.log”), Run the following SQL Query: SELECT * FROM CI_CategoryInstances WHERE CategoryInstance_UniqueID LIKE '%c6e9d9e3-1371-46ba-b7f1-bb46c5b6bc06%' Note the CategoryInstanceID (should be like 16777601) On your SCCM Server, from an administrative PowerShell run the following code to remove the association, substituting the CategoryInstanceID you discovered in step 3-2: Get-WmiObject -Namespace $Namespace -Class SMS_CategoryInstanceMembership -Filter "CategoryInstanceID = '16777601'" | Foreach-Object { Remove-WmiObject -InputObject $_ } Repeat the above section for each unique CategoryInstance_UniqueID listed in the “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Logs\migmctrl.log” file. When complete, retry the migration, and examine for any additional missing CategoryInstance_UniqueID errors.
