SMS 2003 OSD Feature Pack continues to deploy new images even though the Windows USMT 3.0 or a later version returns an error code

Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 Operating System Deployment (OSD) Feature Pack continues to deploy new images even though the Windows User State Migration Tool (USMT) 3.0 or a later version returns an error code.

This behavior prevents user information from being migrated to a new operating system.

After this problem occurs, the Scanstate.log file contains information that resembles the following:

Error [0x000000] Migration failed to complete successfully
Error [0x000000] Execute Internal failed to complete successfully
Error [0x000000] USMT is unable to complete successfully.
Error [0x000000] Internal Error: USMT was unable to complete the migration. If you continue to receive this error, contact Customer Service and Support (CSS).
Info [0x000000] Please see the log file for more details. Info [0x000000] USMT error Code (status) = 11

In addition, the OSDusmtscanstate.log file contains information that resembles the following:

Running USMTScan\osdUSMTScanState.exe osdUSMTScanState 6/15/2007 3:34:28 PM 1980 (0x07BC)

Success : Exiting with return code 0. osdUSMTScanState 6/15/2007 3:35:58 PM 1980 (0x07BC)

This problem occurs because the OSDUSMTScanState.exe module returns an incorrect exit code of "0" when USMT returns an error code.

You can use the Microsoft Systems Management (SMS) 2003 Operating System Deployment (OSD) Feature Pack to create operating system images in SMS 2003. Therefore, you can use Zero Touch Installation (ZTI) or Lite Touch Installation (LTI) to deploy the images to client computers and to manage the images. The Solution Accelerator for Business Desktop Deployment (BDD) recommends that you use the OSD Feature Pack to create, to deploy, and to manage operating system images.
