offline migration using hardlink, error with a local account

[ersatyle]

hi everyone,

today (actually I'm stuck on this for a few days^^) I'm trying to migrate domain users only from win xp to win7 x64, as one of the local account is giving me trouble.

French windows xp, we have an account named administrator that is not the built-in account. If I delete this account under windows xp everything works ok, no errors.

 

if not, I get the error code 2147942414 during the restore phase:

 

The task sequence execution engine failed executing the action (Restore User Files and Settings) in the group (Last actions) with the error code 2147942414

If I tick the "restore local computer user profiles and assign a new password, it will work too (as seen here )

 

But of course I don't want the local users to be transferred

I'm using the offline migration as described here on windows-noob.com

 

Ok now my questions:

- do you know a way to solve this?

- I tried to specify in the task sequence variable "OSDMigrateAdditionalRestoreOptions" value: /Hardlink /nocompress /ue:%computername%\*

but of course the %computername% equals MINWINPC during winpe, is there a way to get the real name of the computer in a variable?

- I tried to use the command net user to delete the local administrator account, but still in winpe

 

I take any ideas you might have, tell me if I missed something

 

Thanks for reading!

ugly workaround: create a task deleting the user's folder (cmd.exe /c rd "%systemdrive%\documents and settings\administrator" /S /Q )

 

problem doesn't show up after that, but I would have preferred a more aesthetic approach (like using the /ue switch)
