User State Migration Tool (USMT) Troubleshooting

USMTGUI 10.24.21H2 released
February 9, 2022

Errors in USMT can be a bit tricky to figure out.

However, this quite old MS list is a comprehensive run through of possible errors.

A few examples:
  • 0: USMT_SUCCESS
    • Error message: Successful run
  • 1: USMT_DISPLAY_HELP
    • Error message: Command line help requested
  • 2: USMT_STATUS_CANCELED
    • Error message:
      • Gather was aborted because of an EFS file
      • User chose to cancel (such as pressing CTRL+C)
  • 3: USMT_WOULD_HAVE_FAILED
    • Error message: At least one error was skipped as a result of /c.
    • Troubleshooting, mitigation, workarounds: Review ScanState, LoadState, or UsmtUtils log for details about command-line errors.
