Migrating Windows Clients With USMT
-
I was following along with the USMT video in the endpoint administrator course and once I got to the point where I used the loadstate utility, I got a return code 14 error. I checked the loadstate log as Wes did in the video to get more information on the error code. The message read "Unable to create a local account because /lac was not specified." I followed every step Wes took in his demonstration so why am I getting this message saying that I have to specify a local account when Wes didn't?
I am currently running 2 VMs in an AD home lab environment. The DC is running Windows Server 2019 and the client is Windows 10 Pro.

Hello!
According to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/deployment/usmt-return-codes, you have typed an invalid command by not using/lac
. So check your syntax first and verify it matches. Correct and run it again. If it still doesn't try and add the /lac where it belongs.
