This is my first attempt at writing a batchfile to run scanstate and loadstate.
Scanstate runs without any readily identifiable errors.

My scanstate command is:
scanstate c:\temp /ue:*\* /ui:domain\username

Then I copy usmt3.mig to a network location, h:\folder1\USMT3

My loadstate command is:
loadstste h:\folder1\ /ue:*\* /ui:domain\username

I've also tried:
loadstste h:\folder1\USMT3 /ue:*\* /ui:domain\username
loadstste h:\folder1\USMT3\usmt2.mig /ue:*\* /ui:domain\username

Even running loadstate from a DOS prompt, I get, "Unable to restore the user
state from the given location.Please make sure that a valid USMT store exists
and that you have read permissions." Sometimes, I have gotten an error that
I am attempting to either decrypt a file that has not been encrypted or that
I am trying to uncompress a file that has not been compressed.

I am logged in with local Administrator permissions.

Any ideas?

Hmm -

if your loadstate command is

loadstate h:\folder1 <... other commands>

and folder1 looks like "folder1\usmt3\usmt3.mig" then you should be ok - run
this again with /v:13 and post the error you get

also post the command line from the log file as well

Is your mapped h: drive mapped to folder1? if so just call h:\

Darn it!

I just realized a typo in my own command line!

I'll correct it, Rerun it and post the results.

Ok. It looks like its working. Not perfectly, but I've crossed this hurdle.

Thanks JR.

My scanstate command is:
h:\refresh\scan\scanstate.exe c:\temp /i:miguser.xml /i:migsys.xml /c

/ue:*\* /ui:domain\username

Then I copy usmt3.mig from C:\temp\usmt3 to h:\username\usmt3.

Then to test, I open a DOS prompt on the target PC and navigate to
h:\refresh\scan and run:
loadstate h:\username /c /v:13 /i:miguser.xml /i:migsys.xml /ue:*\*
/ui:domain\username.

I am logged in with administrative privileges.

One of the errors I am getting is "Inconsistency detected: Store is not
encrypted but user is supplied the key to decrypt."

that sounds pretty odd -

can you post all errors and warning from the log with full verbosity
