Using NAS device for USMT

[DancingFerret]

Hi,

 

Has anyone setup a NAS device to use while storing UMST data? if you have how did you set it up? or can it it be done?

 

cheers

I wrote a very quick batch file to help Desktop Support in writing the MIG file to a NAS server. No changes were made to the network share, and it's not running IIS.

 

echo off

set server=LionKing

set share=statepoint

set drive=t:

set domain=private.domain

set user=sccmnetworkaccount

set password=*password*

net use %drive% \\%server%\%share% %password% /user:%domain%\%user% /persistent:no

if "%errorlevel%"=="0" echo You should now be connected to the State Migration Point.

if "%errorlevel%"=="2" echo You are already connected to the State Migration Point. Please continue.

:Menu

echo.

echo .......................................................................................................

echo Please name the folder for your Profile Capture and press enter.

echo .......................................................................................................

echo.

set /P folder=

if "%folder%"=="exit" goto exit

if "%folder%"=="cmd" cmd

Rem The following line ignores all profile SSIDs that are absent an ntuser.dat file (but still in the registry)

SET MIG_IGNORE_PROFILE_MISSING=1

scanstate t:\%folder% /i:miguser.xml /i:migapp.xml /uel:60

if "%errorlevel%"=="0" goto complete

if "%errorlevel%" NEQ "0" echo Error: %errorlevel%

if "%errorlevel%"=="1" echo Double check that the profile capture completed please..

if "%errorlevel%"=="2" echo Double check that the profile capture completed please..

if "%errorlevel%"=="27" goto dupe

:dupe

echo A folder with the same name already exists. Please choose another.

goto Menu

:complete

echo Profile Migration should be complete. Location: \\%server%\%share%\%folder%

pause

:exit

exit

 

Then you would do something similar to pull the data back, but with the loadstate.exe and applicable switches. Hard Linking is much better though.
