Welcome to EhlerTech
At EhlerTech we have over the years developed a long range of tools.
USMT GUI and User Profile Manager being the most interesting for everyone running Windows.
In 2018 we have optimized and vastly extended the collection of XML files default supplied by MS and
even built our own extension, USMT Afterburner, to handle the migration of Windows 10 Modern apps.

USMT - User State Migration - FAQ
USMT Error FAQ
– Error will be seen in the USMTscan.log or USMTLoad.log (USMTGUI/UPC)
Cause
Some (probably a custom made) XML file has the same header URL as another migration XML file.
Solution
Edit the XML file mentioned and change the URL in the top line. Fx change the last bit from: migration urlid=”http://www.microsoft.com/migration/1.0/migxmlext/migapp to something random migration urlid=”http://www.microsoft.com/migration/1.0/migxmlext/mycustomxml
Followed by: [0x000000] Failed.[gle=0x00000002] [0x000000] Compliance check failure; please check the logs for details[gle=0x00000002] – Error will be seen in the USMTscan.log or USMTLoad.log (USMTGUI/UPC)
Cause
A temporary, faulty, profile is on the system. (a restart will NOT help 😉
Solution
To remedy this error open regedit.exe and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList Now go through the profiles until locating the profile with the extension “.bak”. Delete the temporary profile. Or you can use Delprof2 from Helge Klein.
Followed further down by: [0x000000] Error 3 creating profile: Win32Exception: C:\Users\”username”\NTUSER.DAT… – Error will be seen in the USMTLoad.log (USMTGUI/UPC)
Cause
An incomplete user profile exists in registry. Probable cause is that a user profile folder in the C:\Users\ folder has been deleted manually. (Profiles should always be deleted through Advanced System Settings selecting User Profiles under the Advanced tab)
Solution
To remedy this error open regedit.exe and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList Now go through the profiles starting with “S-1-5-21-” until locating the user mentioned in the USMTLoad.log, and remove the incomplete profile.
Followed by: [0x080000] LookupAccountSidW failed. Error: 0x00000534[gle=0x00000534] [0x0803ba] Found valid profile but can’t get user credentials. Will ignore due to error code: 0x00000534 – Error will be seen in the USMTLoad.log (USMTGUI/UPC)
Cause
USMT found a valid profile to restore in the backup but cannot look up the user in the Active directory.
Solution
Check that the PC is properly joined to the AD and that the user restoring to exists on that AD and is enabled.
