Hi,
I wonder if there is a Flag or any registry key that I can read (for a successful migration or a failed ones) before rebooting the PC.
I found the RegKey: (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon:DefaultDomainName)
But this value is not updated until a reboot is done.
Note:
In my case, I don't reboot the PC with Profwiz.exe reboot, because I have some settings to do and then I use my own reboot.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,

If you are using a Deployment Kit generated script, a flag file is written to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data (on XP) if the migration is successful. By default this is called "ForensiTMigrated"

Good morning,
You mean the Migrate.log file? So I need to parse this log file for the string "ForensiTMigrated"?
In Profwiz.config I changed the path for the log file under C:\Forensit\Migrate.log. In this file I have the String "Migration Complete!" at the end of the file...I don't have "ForensiTMigrated" (On XP Service Pack 3)
Rather than parsing a log file is there another way to know the success or the failure of the migration (Reg key, or ...)Wink
Thank you very much for your good support.
Cheers

No, you don't need to parse the log file. The migration script writes an actual file called ForensiTMigrated to  to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data to indicate that a machine has been migrated. The script checks for this file when it runs so that the machine is not migrated more than once.
 
In fact there are two possible locations for ForensiTMigrated depending on whether you are migrating all users, or just the currently logged on user. If you are just migrating the currently logged on user the ForensiTMigrated file will be in that user's Application Data folder.

Thanks!
I migrate all the users except the Admin, but I found the file "ForensitMigrated" under C:\Documents and Settings\"Logged user"\Application Data
my "Logged user" is the one who initiates the migration who can be an Admin or a simple user. the params in Profwiz.config are:
    <All>True</All>
    <OldDomain></OldDomain>
    <UserLookupFile></UserLookupFile>
    <Exclude>ASPNET,Administrator,PIMAGE</Exclude>

Where the flag file is created depends on this line in the migration script:
 
Set objAppDataFolder = objShellApp.Namespace(ALL_USERS_APPLICATION_DATA)
 
The script uses ALL_USERS_APPLICATION_DATA for all users, and APPLICATION_DATA for the current user.

Smile... My script has
Set objAppDataFolder = objShellApp.Namespace(APPLICATION_DATA)
Thank you.
