Good afternoon, We are trying to replace our Windows XP PCs with Windows 7 using SCCM 2007 R3 Task Sequences and USMT 4.0 hardlinking. Our Active Directory domain is several years old, and users had accounts in one domain that were migrated into another. For instance, user account TZ0270 was originally in a domain called OLDDOMAIN, but then migrated to snewman in a domain called NEWDOMAIN. SidHistory was kept on his NEWDOMAIN account. So in OLDDOMAIN: sAMAccountName: TZ0270 objectSid: S-1-5-21-436374069-789336058-682003330-188741 and in NEWDOMAIN: sAMAccountName: snewman objectSid: S-1-5-21-4016430739-906247392-1194744260-8484 sIDHistory: S-1-5-21-436374069-789336058-682003330-188741 The user's workstation was originally in the OLDDOMAIN domain and moved to the NEWDOMAIN domain. This seems to be causing the USMT scanstate/loadstate process to throw errors, and not successfully migrating the user profiles. From scanstate.log on the workstation being upgraded (filtering on specific records for snewman, the entire log is 12 MB): 2010-12-01 15:11:55, Info [0x0803b8] Processing profile: C:\Documents and

Did you add the /md:OldDomain:NewDomain switch to loadstate? / Johan

Hi Johan, Thanks for your reply. The migration from OLDDOMAIN to NEWDOMAIN occurred years ago, but "OLDDOMAIN\TZ0270" and "NEWDOMAIN\snewman" both still exist and are in use. I think what I need is for loadstate to not map both SIDs to the NEWDOMAIN account, i.e., instead of: 2010-12-01 16:57:37, Info [0x000000] User NEWDOMAIN\snewman maps to S-1-5-21-4016430739-906247392-1194744260-8484 2010-12-01 16:57:37, Info [0x000000] User NEWDOMAIN\snewman maps to S-1-5-21-436374069-789336058-682003330-188741 it should read: 2010-12-01 16:57:37, Info [0x000000] User NEWDOMAIN\snewman maps to S-1-5-21-4016430739-906247392-1194744260-8484 2010-12-01 16:57:37, Info [0x000000] User OLDDOMAIN\TZ0270 maps to S-1-5-21-436374069-789336058-682003330-188741 Additionally, the 4,824 errors (Read error 4317) occur during the scanstate of the files in "C:\Documents and Settings\TZ0270" and it's associated HKCU. Thanks, Terence Durning

hmm, I don't know about that one... let me ping some of the USMT folks and see if they have a better answer... / Johan

Hi Johan, The sIDHistory is definitely the culprit. I had the Active Directory team remove the sIDHistory from another account that was throwing errors. The scanstate completed successfully. Before sIDHistory was removed: 2010-12-07 11:22:40, Info [0x0803af] Name: cjohnson, Domain: NEWDOMAIN, Profile: %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\TZ0864, SidString: S-1-5-21-436374069-789336058-682003330-213332, ID: USER0000000A, IsAdmin: 1, IsBuiltInAdmin: 0, IsDisabled: 0, IsInteractive: 1, Groups: Debugger Users;Administrators And after: 2010-12-07 15:23:50, Info [0x0803af] Name: TZ0864, Domain: OLDDOMAIN, Profile: %SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\TZ0864, SidString: S-1-5-21-436374069-789336058-682003330-213332, ID: USER0000000A, IsAdmin: 1, IsBuiltInAdmin: 0, IsDisabled: 0, IsInteractive: 1, Groups: Administrators Additionally, the 3,262 errors (pre-removal of sIDHistory) are no longer there. Thanks, Terence Durning

Great, and thanks for posting back the solution... / Johan

Deleting the sidHistory data of a user is not the recommended solution here. The problem is caused by not translating user profiles with ADMT during computer migration, leaving you with a user that now has multiple profiles. Removing SID history could remove a user's access to their files, email, databases, applications, etc. Instead, use USMT /UEL to skip unused stale profiles. Alternatively, you can delete those orphaned profiles with DEPLROF.EXE, SYSDM.CPL, group policy "Delete user profiles older than a specified number of days on system restart", etc.Ned Pyle [MSFT] Enterprise Platforms Support - DS

The /uel switch didn't work for me as both the users profiles show the exact same date and size under System Properties. It has been a few months since we moved these PCs to the new domain, but I certainly recall translating user profiles with ADMT during the computer migration. The logs are long gone though, so no idea if the process had any errors. Not sure what the best option is but have about 150 computers like this that need to be upgraded to Windows 7.

I found another solution that didn't involve deleting the SID history. I used a powershell command to delete all the old registry entries from the old domain. Get-ChildItem "HKLM:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\" | Select-String -pattern "S-1-5-21-2542228921" | foreach {$_ -replace "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE", "HKLM:"} | remove-item Obviously, you need to change the pattern to match the beginning of the SID of your old domain.
