USMT excluding this computer

Question

i'm trying to use USMT to migrate user profiles from one system to another.

Here's the command i'm using:

C:\USMT\amd64\scanstate.exe F:\Profile /ue:DOMAIN\* /ue:%computername%\* /ui:DOMAIN\username /tel:off /i:C:\USMT\amd64\migapp.xml /i:c:\USMT\amd64\migdocs.xml /o

I only want to capture one user, which will be specified on /ui:

I would like to exclude "this computer" but you see below it still gathers data for This Computer.

Log messages are being sent to 'H:\USMT\scanstate.log'

Starting the migration process Processing the settings store

Examining the system to discover the migration units
domain\username (1 of 2): 100% done
This Computer (2 of 2): 100% done

Selecting migration units

Gathering data domain\username (1 of 2): 100% done
This Computer (2 of 2): 1% done

Any ideas on how to exclude this?

Thanks, Paul
