Description
This cmdlet creates a new Capture User State step object. Then use the Add-CMTaskSequenceStep cmdlet to add the step to a task sequence. For more information on this step, see About task sequence steps: Capture User State.
Note
Run Configuration Manager cmdlets from the Configuration Manager site drive, for example PS XYZ:\>. For more information, see getting started.
Examples
Example 1
This example first gets a package object for the User State Migration Tool (USMT). The next line creates an object for the Capture User State step, which uses that USMT package and configures several step settings. It then gets a task sequence object, and adds this new step to the task sequence at index 11.
$pkgUsmt = Get-CMPackage -Name "User State Migration Tool for Windows" -Fast
$step = New-CMTSStepCaptureUserState -Name "Capture User State" -Package $pkgUsmt -ModeOption Standard -VerboseLogging $true -FileAccessOption Normal -ContinueOnLockedFile $true -UseHardLinks $true
$tsNameOsd = "Default OS deployment"
$tsOsd = Get-CMTaskSequence -Name $tsNameOsd -Fast
$tsOsd | Add-CMTaskSequenceStep -Step $step -InsertStepStartIndex 11
Parameters
-Condition
Specify a condition object to use with this step. To get this object, use one of the task sequence condition cmdlets. For example, Get-CMTSStepConditionVariable.
Parameter properties
| Type: | IResultObject[] |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
| Aliases: | Conditions |
Parameter sets
-ConfigFile
When you specify -ModeOption Customize to customize how user profiles are captured, use this parameter to specify the file names of custom XML configuration files. These files need to be in the USMT package.
Parameter properties
| Type: | String[] |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
| Aliases: | ConfigFiles |
Parameter sets
-Confirm
Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.
Parameter properties
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
| Aliases: | cf |
Parameter sets
-ContinueOnError
Add this parameter to enable the step option Continue on error. When you enable this option, if the step fails, the task sequence continues.
Parameter properties
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-ContinueOnLockedFile
When you specify -FileAccessOption Normal, set this parameter to $true to allow USMT to continue if some files can't be captured.
Parameter properties
| Type: | Boolean |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-Description
Specify an optional description for this task sequence step.
Parameter properties
| Type: | String |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-Disable
Add this parameter to disable this task sequence step.
Parameter properties
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
| Aliases: | DisableThisStep |
Parameter sets
-DisableWildcardHandling
This parameter treats wildcard characters as literal character values. You can't combine it with ForceWildcardHandling.
Parameter properties
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-FileAccessOption
There are two options for how USMT accesses the file system:
Normal: USMT uses standard file system access. When you specify this option, you can also enable ContinueOnLockedFile, OfflineUserState, and -.VolumeCopyShadowService: USMT uses the Volume Copy Shadow Services (VSS).
Parameter properties
| Type: | FileAccessType |
| Default value: | None |
| Accepted values: | Normal, VolumeCopyShadowService |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-ForceWildcardHandling
This parameter processes wildcard characters and may lead to unexpected behavior (not recommended). You can't combine it with DisableWildcardHandling.
Parameter properties
| Type: | SwitchParameter |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-ModeOption
There are two modes in which USMT can operate:
Standard: Capture all user profiles by using standard options. This option is the default.Customize: Customize how user profiles are captured. If you specify this option, use the ConfigFile parameter to specify the custom XML configuration files.
Parameter properties
| Type: | ModeType |
| Default value: | None |
| Accepted values: | Standard, Customize |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
-Name
Specify a name for this step to identify it in the task sequence.

| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
| Aliases: | StepName |
Parameter sets
-OfflineUserState
When you specify -FileAccessOption Normal, set this parameter to $true to capture in offline mode in Windows PE.
Parameter properties
| Type: | Boolean |
| Default value: | None |
| Supports wildcards: | False |
| DontShow: | False |
Parameter sets
