I'm trying to get USMT 2.6 to work with pe2004.. The problem is the variable USMT uses exist within winpe as well, so usmt trys to backup and restore the winpe default profile. I imagine I may have to redefine these variables to point specificly to C:\documents and settings etc.. but I am curious if anyone else has had luck with this...

TIA

USMT 2.6 scans the local registry and filesystem for profiles. You cannot "point" USMT to another folder.

USMT uses varibles %systemroot% etc.. I'm thinking about attempting to redefine those variables to c: drive..

If you use the runscanner plugin you can scan the boot.ini file for the right installlation, and then poiunt to that registry

What command line are you using with scanstate.exe, and what inf files are you calling? Running it within or under WinPE isn't really its expected environment.

USMT 2.6 is infinitely more usable over earlier versions, but it is still expected to be run over a "live" copy of the OS you are migrating data from/to.
