We had dozens of profile migration issues causing failures in our Windows XP to Win7 upgrades, and in almost every case doing a chkdsk /r fixed “something” and It worked on the following try. Whether it was the power of coincidence or we really had a lot of bad filesystems out there I’ll never know, but Windows was particularly sensitive to something on the disk and that resolved it. Maybe worth a try.

Yes, I have been scouring it and watching it throughout the process, and thank you Aaron. All appears as usual, but I notice that when it is doing profile migration, it takes a couple of seconds per line and is going through all kinds of languages we do not use. The whole process is about 20-30 minutes per profile. That is why I removed all but one profile. 2017-12-27 12:59:21, Info MIG OSDB pattern skipped because enumeration root is not present: \\home\homedir\cordell\Favorites\リンク<file://home/homedir/cordell/Favorites/リンク> [Windows Media.url] 2017-12-27 12:59:52, Info MIG OSDB pattern skipped because enumeration root is not present: C:\Users\cordell\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Akcesoria\Ułatwienia dostępu [desktop.ini] From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of ODONNELL Aaron M Sent: December 28, 2017 2:30 PM To: '[email protected]' <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: [mssms] RE: How long does an average In Place Upgrade take? Have you looked in the c:\windows\panther\setupact.log file to see what the update process is doing to take so long? It’s a huge log but the entries are timestamped so you might be able to scan through it and find large amounts of time being consumed by some of the steps. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/928901/log-files-that-are-created-when-you-upgrade-to-a-new-version-of-window Thanks, Aaron O’Donnell From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Melin, Cordell (BAC/LAC) Sent: Thursday, December 28, 2017 10:50 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [mssms] RE: How long does an average In Place Upgrade take? Thank you very much, Stephanie. I am stumped as to why it is so much longer now, almost 4 x, compared to Win 7 to Win 10 1607. We’ll keep digging.
