User State Migration Capture process

[vlee14]

Hello, 

I've tested USMT on about 5 different PC's now.  Capture and Deploy have worked great.  This morning I have attempted to capture a user's account again (2nd attempt).  The capture process begins normally.  I leave and come back to check the USMT.MIG file.  I see that it's gradually growing about 14gigs the last time I check on it.  Once I noticed the capture icon is now gone I go and check the user's USMIT folder and there's no MIG file.  

Is there any reason why this particular user's capture process has failed twice on me now?  For testing I have captured another computer successfully.

When investigating why USMT is failing, you'd want to look at the ScanState log file, which would go in C:\Wndows\Temp on the target computer. 

If you're initiating the capture from the console, make sure that you've checked the box for "ignore access errors."

Thank you.  That helped.  I was able to complete the capture process.
