The Release State Store task sequence step notifies the state migration point that the capture or restore action has been completed. The Release State Store task sequence step is used in conjunction with the Request State Store, Capture User State, and Restore User State task sequence steps to migrate computer state using a state migration point and the User State Migration Tool (USMT).
If you requested access to a state migration point to capture user state in the Request State Store task sequence step, this task sequence step notifies the state migration point that the capture process is complete and that the computer state is available to be restored. The state migration point sets the access control permissions for the captured state so that it can only be accessed (as read-only) by the restoring computer.
If you requested access to a state migration point to restore user state in the Request State Store task sequence step, this task sequence step notifies the state migration point that the restore process is complete. At this point, whatever retention settings you configured for the state migration point are activated.

| It is recommended that you set Continue on Error on any task sequence steps between the Request State Store step and Release State Store step so that every Request State Store task sequence action has a matching Release State Store task sequence action. |
The Release State Store task sequence action can be run only in a standard operating system and will not run in the Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE). For information about task sequence variables for this task sequence action, see Release State Store Task Sequence Action Variables.
