PST files being duplicated during USMT migration

[rjblue]

Ok so here's the rundown on what's going on. I am using the migapp.xml, and the miguser.xml, and also using a custom xml file. I know the migapp.xml will migrate all linked pst files, but not unlinked ones. So I created the custom xml to migrate all psts. The issue I am running into is our My Documents used to be on a D:\ drive for XP, now its in the default location on C:\ for Win7. When the PST files are migrated, they are being restored to the C:\ my documents and also to D:\ My documents. I can't figure out how to either exclude my documents from the PST scan in the custom xml, or any other way to not have the PST files duplicated.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Here's what I'm using to scan for PSTs

 

<component type="Documents" context="UserAndSystem">

<displayName>All PST migrated from all fixed drives, regardless of location</displayName>

<role role="Data">

<rules>

<include>

<objectSet>

<script>MigXmlHelper.GenerateDrivePatterns ("* [*.pst]", "Fixed")</script>

</objectSet>

</include>

</rules>

</role>

</component>

 

Thanks in advance!
