I'm trying to run a standard client replacement task and save users data to a server share but the Capture User state action runs for about one second and then the task stops at the dos-promt. Nothing gets saved to the share. It's supposed to be a .mig-file i think. I get the following message in the log file (BDD.log):

 

<![LOG[About to run command: msiexec.exe /i "\\Servername\Distribution$\Tools\X86\InstallUSMT301_X86.msi" /quiet /passive /norestart /L*v %TEMP%\USMT301.log]LOG]!><time="12:29:42.000+000" date="11-09-2008" component="ZTIUserState" context="" type="1" thread="" file="ZTIUserState">
<![LOG[ZTI ERROR - Unhandled error returned by ZTIUserState: The system cannot find the file specified.

I have a few fundamental questions about MDT as well:

 

1. Do i need USMT to save user data with the replace computer task or is it already implemented within MDT? (I do have it in the tools-folder as a msi-file)

2. Can i save user data with the task this way or do i have to create a vbs-file and run it from within the OS first before rebooting, deploy new OS and restore data?

 

Basically what I'm looking to do is to capture user data to a server share, deploy a new OS and then restore the data back to the local computer all in the same task sequence. Is that even possible with MDT 2008?
