AnswerUSMT 4.0 Task Sequence with App-V

    Here is my current situation.

    I am trying to put together a task sequence using SCCM SP2 with R2 that will use USMT with hardlinking to retain user data.  Scanstate runs but fails when it tries to scan c:\Users\Public\Documents\SoftGrid Client [sftfs.fsd].  The Error suggests that the file is in use by a different process.  If I disable the sftlist service and reboot then scanstate will work successfully but this is not a workable solution in the task sequense as far as I know and I would like this fully automated.

    Do anyone know of a way around this issue?

    have you tried editing your xml file and changing migrate="yes" to migrate="no" for the specific file type ? you may have to add it if it is not present

    Which XML file would that be.  To be honest I am not very familiar with USMT.  I have been looking at the how to exclude files from being included but so far that has not worked.

    Thats what I originally thought.  I had put an exclusion in the bottom part of that file, but it wasn't working.  Playing with it a little more, I copied the exclusion to the shared documents section and I think I may have gotten past this.  If anyone is interested in exactly what I have done, let me know

    I fixed this by adding the following like to the MigUser.xml file.  This is the Shared My Documents files section and I added what was in bold.   believe this would need to be done anywhere that the client has the App-V client installed and running.

        <!-- This component migrates Shared My Documents files -->
        <component type="Documents" context="System">
            <displayName _locID="miguser.shareddocs">Shared Documents</displayName>
            <paths>
                <path type="File">%CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS%</path>
            </paths>
            <role role="Data">
                <detects>
                    <detect>
                        <condition>MigXmlHelper.DoesObjectExist("File","%CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS%")</condition>
                    </detect>
                    <detect>
                        <condition negation="Yes">MigXmlHelper.IsSameObject("File","%CSIDL_PERSONAL%", "%CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS%")</condition>
                    </detect>
                </detects>
                <rules>
                    <exclude>
                        <objectSet>
                            <pattern type="File">%CSIDL_COMMON_PICTURES%\* [*]</pattern>
                            <pattern type="File">%CSIDL_COMMON_MUSIC%\* [*]</pattern>
                            <pattern type="File">%CSIDL_COMMON_VIDEO%\* [*]</pattern>
                            <pattern type="File">C:\Users\Public\Documents\SoftGrid Client\* [*]</pattern>
                        </objectSet>
                    </exclude>
                    <include filter='MigXmlHelper.IgnoreIrrelevantLinks()'>
                        <objectSet>
                            <pattern type="File">%CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS%\* [*]</pattern>
                        </objectSet>
                    </include>
                    <merge script="MigXmlHelper.DestinationPriority()">
                        <objectSet>
                            <pattern type="File">%CSIDL_COMMON_DOCUMENTS% [desktop.ini]</pattern>
                        </objectSet>
                    </merge>
                </rules>
            </role>
        </component>

    great result, thanks for sharing.

    you could change it some more to use KNOWNFOLDERID

    so...

     
    <pattern type="File">C:\Users\Public\Documents\SoftGrid Client\* [*]</pattern>

would become

<pattern type="File">%FOLDERID_Public%\ Documents\SoftGrid Client\* [*]</pattern>


    see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762584%28VS.85%29.aspx for more details on that
