Duplicate/Broken profile breaks USMT 4.0 on XP machines

Domanda Duplicate/Broken profile breaks USMT 4.0 on XP machines

    I continue to have issues with trying to capture data from XP machines with Duplicate/Broken profiles. It fails, I have used a execution string similar to this:

    (scanstate c:\store /i:migdocs.xml /i:migapp.xml /o /c /v:5 /ue:* /ui:S-1-5-21-1120787987-3120651664-2685341087* /ui:%computername%\*)

    where USMT is instructed to only capture Domain profiles, yet it still fails. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    /ue:* and /ui:%computername%\* are conflicting, the result is that everything is captured

    if you're trying to target only one  profile using the SID try : /ue:*\* /ue:%computername%\* /ui:<SID>

    David, That is a good catch. Thanks for pointing that out. I've tested 2 and it works. I am about to kick off 3 more. I'll definitely mark it correct. Thanks again

    This error cannot be fixed by tweaking USMT, you have an issue on this machine where there is a corrupt profile (duplicate SID). There's a good article on the deployment guys blog about corrupt profile issues with USMT 4 (it comes with a script that tries to identify them)

    take a look : http://blogs.technet.com/b/deploymentguys/archive/2010/03/28/usmt-failures-due-to-bad-profile-list-entries.aspx

    try also the "common problems" article on TechNet : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd560803(v=WS.10).aspx#User
