Hi,

I am having permission issues, refreshing XP machines to Win7.
USMT brings over all of the filres correctly (using hardlinking), but when logging on as the user, (who is shown as owner on the security tab, and is also in the local admin group) cannot delete files. We get the dreaded “You need permission to delete this file.” Futher, if we try to change the ACL’s, we get errors accessing the root drive and cannot update the security descriptors. I don’t know if this is a USMT thing or just a Win 7 thing, but it is killing our deployemnt plans.

Thanks in advance.

I had installed the USMT 301 on the server. It’s installed in C:\Program Files\USMT301 Are you saying to copy those files into the Deploymentshare\tools\x86?. I put the downloaded USMT 301 file into that folder and nothing happened when I updated the Deploymentshare and tryed a Replace with the path to the UserStateCapture$ folder. Which files go into the Deploymentshare\tools\x86 folder?

You place the USMT 3.01 bits in the Tools\X86 or Tools\X64 directories respectively. Just put the EXE files in there and MDT will extract and install them

In my deploymentshare the USMT files under USMT\x86. But those are the 4.0 files I assume. Do I move them out and put the 3.01 files there?

Hi Koneti,

The computername wouldn’t be restored as part of the user state. You can choose to name the computer through the customsettings.ini file. Can you post the question on the technet forums for MDT with an example of a computername that you would like to keep from the old computer to the new computer?

its bad that putting the question in different way .Yes it is Replace scenario .are there any steps/procedure/is it required to edit the xml or custimisation of xml files ? i am quite sure how to carry out this task through it ?

Not quite sure what you are asking but you can back up the user state from an existing computer and deploy it to another computer. That is generally what we would call a Replace scenario.

Gopi: Yep that would be correct.
