Hi @Jamie Webster,

Thank you for providing the log excerpts. Upon review, the data provides the definitive record of a migration schema violation, specifically a mandatory "script" attribute missing from an XML manifest. This is causing several critical plugins—notably for System Center Management and Active Directory Services—to fail during the migration process.

To help me resolve this across your devices, please provide feedback on the following five points:

Are these devices managed or imaged via MECM (SCCM) or MDT?

Have these system images been modified by "debloating" scripts or hardening tools? The 0x80070002 (File Not Found) errors for components like shmig (Wallpaper) and adammigrate.dll suggest that standard Windows features expected by the upgrade engine have been removed.

Are there specific Language Packs installed, particularly Chinese (Simplified)? The log shows a recurring registry failure in TableTextServiceMig related to the 0x00000804 language profile.

Do these workstations have Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) or specific developer tools installed? The failure of adammigrate.dll is atypical for a standard office productivity machine.

Have these machines undergone a third-party driver cleanup or "Driver Booster" process?

Identifying whether these machines share a specific management agent version or a common base image will allow me to address the "Invalid XML" error at its source.

Hi @Jamie Webster,

Have a good day.

May I know that have you had a chance to review my previous response?

Any updates would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Jamie Webster,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

Thank you for reporting the error you encountered while upgrading to Windows 11, version 24H2. The error code 0x8007042B [gle=0x00000002] indicates a "File Not Found" migration failure. This happens when the upgrade engine expects to move a specific file or registry path that is missing or inaccessible.

To help me identify the exact cause for your device, please provide the following information:

Did the error occur while you were still working in Windows, or did the PC restart and reach a percentage screen (e.g., 30% or 75%) before rolling back?
What antivirus or security agents (e.g., Norton, McAfee, CrowdStrike) are installed? Please include the version number, as older versions can block 24H2 system changes.
Have you recently manually deleted any folders from C:\Users? Migration often fails if a profile's registry entry exists but its physical folder is missing.
Are your Desktop or Documents folders synced with OneDrive "Backup" or redirected to an external or network drive?
Please type msinfo32 in your Start menu and share your "System Model" and "BIOS Version".

Once I have these details, I can provide a targeted solution to get your upgrade completed. Looking forward to hearing from you.
