windows 7 User State Migration tool
hello,
At work we are running windows 7 enterprise. the other day I was experimenting with USMT ( user state migration tool ) and was surprised at how easy it is. I got the software from the automated installation kit, and ran this on a computer I am transferring data from
scanstate \\servershare\migration /i:migdocs.xml /i:migapp.xml /v:13 /l:scan.log
then on the target pc I ran
loadstate \\servershare\migration /i:migdocs.xml /i:migapp.xml /lac /lae /v:13 /l:"C:migrate\migrate.log"
and it worked great! Then I thought that since this is being run from an elevated command prompt, I should be able to run it with psexec. I want to run it with psexec because I have a computer I need to upgrade, and the user hasn't gotten back to me yet. So in the meantime I could run scanstate and the loadstate on the computer I would be upgrading her to. Then, when she gets back to me, all I have to do is swap the computers. However, when I tried this it keep getting errors, even though I'm using the same commands.
Is there some reason scanstate doesn't run when using psexec?
or maybe a better question is, has anyone tried successfully to run scanstate using psexec?
