The Windows 10 upgrades required us to move profile contents off of the machines to a file share and then move them back. This was because USMT could not be used due to the architecture changing from 32-bit to 64-bit.
This script I wrote will copy all of the pertinent data from a user profile to a specified UNC path. I made two text files to include all exclusions for directories and files. The exclusion files need to reside in the same directory as this script. I have added the examples of the files and directories exclusion files that we excluded. The other variable you need to define is the DestinationUNC which is the path to the folder where the profile will be backed up to. The script also creates a 0RobocopyLogs directory at the specified UNC path containing a log of each transfer. One more thing I added to the script is the ability to check if the computer name is correct, which includes is online and if the username is correct. At the end of the process, it will return the robocopy error code.
You can download the script from my GitHub Repository.
Below is the contents of the DirectoryExclusions.txt file.

"16 - Fatal error" every time I attempt to run this.
ReplyDeleteThe error is coming from robocopy, not the script. Have you tried to run robocopy manually?
