Hi all

Running the MigUser.xml with scanstate.exe has caused some errors.

The Errors are all pointing to 'Plugin.dll' files. ( in Program
files\*Windows*\ folder)

My question is the MigUser xml file doesn't contain any condition to include
the .dll files. Then Why is the error occuring?.

The only place in MigUser xml file where the Program files or Program
files\*Windows*\ is referenced is in <exclude>.

<exclude>
<objectSet>
<pattern type="File">%CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES%\* [*]</pattern>


<script>MigXmlHelper.GenerateDrivePatterns ("\Program Files\* [*]",
"Fixed")</script>
<script>MigXmlHelper.GenerateDrivePatterns ("\Winnt\* [*]", "Fixed")</script>
<script>MigXmlHelper.GenerateDrivePatterns ("\Windows\* [*]",
"Fixed")</script>
</objectSet>
</exclude>

Why is the log file showing error in accessing these .dll files when the
MigUser.xml file is not including them.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Ish

You didn't enclose the specific error files, but it looks like you are not
removing/commenting the exclude section from your MigUser.xml. Therefore, it
is not including anything in the "C:\Program Files\*" location. If your dll
files are not migrating, and you need them, you should explicitly include
them in your own, customized xml file, such as "MigUserISH.xml"

Hi Mawi

Thanks for your reply.

Just to be more clear, I dont want my dll files to be migrated.

And the MigUser.xml file I am using have exlcuded them.

My question was why is the log file showing Erros with dll files when I have
exclded them.

Part of log file where it shows the error is

Error [0x0808ff] COutOfProcPluginFactory::CreateInstance:
m_currentHostSurrogate->LoadDllServer(C:\Program
Files\USMT301\dlmanifests\Microsoft-Windows-RasConnectionManager\cmmigr.dll,
{22E5FCA2-9C7C-4239-8AED-4D0623F532D8}, 0) failed, hr=[0x80070003].

Error [0x0808ff] COutOfProcPluginFactory::CreateInstance:
m_currentHostSurrogate->LoadDllServer(C:\Program
Files\USMT301\dlmanifests\Microsoft-Windows-DHCPServerMigPlugin-DL\DhcpSrvMigPlugin.dll, {F5E8DE96-7F4D-4A29-BE28-3943538D0340}, 0) failed, hr=[0x80070003].

I am a bit worried about log file showing Errors. Are the Errors ignorable.?
Why is it happening.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Ish

Thoses errors look to be from plugins that are used to move OS settings -

You should be able to ignore them -

If you run scanstate /genconfig:config.xml

it will create a file that you can use to turn on or off OS settings
migration for windows components -

see a section on a config.xml file below - you should also notice
Microsoft-Windows-RasConnectionManager - which was noted in your log - they
likely use some plugin to move some settings - which for some reason failed -
if you do not care about this setting - you should be able to ignore it -

hope this helps?

One additional item that may or may not apply for you. I've seen this type of
error when running as a non-admin account, so I did a little additional
searching and am seeing other users have this as well. Have you made sure
this is run under Admin credentials?
