Hello,

I'm trying to use USMT to refresh windows 10 to windows 11 using hard-link, I've created simple task sequence: Capture User Files and Settings (FullOS) Mode and other WinPE mode.

i put some test files on desktop, but i noticed the windows is rebooting without taking the files, i started looking at the log file scanstate.log

I found errors:

2024-04-29 17:15:01, Error [0x0802e3] SelectTransport: OpenDevice failed with Exception: Win32Exception: c:_SMSTaskSequence\UserState\USMT: The directory is not empty.

    Hi, @Ahmed Essam

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Based on the error message you provided, it seems that the store path you are trying to use contains data that could not be overwritten. This is causing the USMT to fail with error code 35. To resolve this issue, you will need to specify a different store path that does not contain any data that needs to be overwritten.

    Additionally, it is recommended that you run the UsmtUtils.exe command with the /Verify option to ensure that the created store isn't corrupted. This can help you identify any issues with the store before you attempt to use it for migration.

    Here is an example command line using task sequence variables that does a hard-link migration with the efs option set to hardlink:

    .\%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%\scanstate.exe %OSDStateStorePath% /o /localonly /c /efs:hardlink /v:5 /l:%_SMSTSLogPath%\scanstate.log /progress:%_SMSTSLogPath%\scanstateprogress.log /i:.\%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%\migdocs.xml /i:.\%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%\migapp.xml /hardlink /nocompress %OSDMigrateAdditionalCaptureOptions%
