Hello Ned
I am migrating from a windows server 2008 R2 standard to a server 2019 essentials. I downloaded the SMS and started copying everything over. It looks like all my files are there but I'm on the last step of cutting over to the new server and it fails validation. I put in settings to override transfer validation but on the validation screen it gives me this error:
The destination exists.
Fail: Operation timed out. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131505)
We can transfer data from the source computer at maximum speed. This might fail when required software updates are not installed on the source.
Fail: Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.
Also when trying to start the transfer anyway I get this:
Unable to load configuration details for "Newserver:Domain.com"
For a brief second it showed me this error at the top:
Transfer1: Domain.newserver.com: The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error. For more information about the error, either turn on includeExceptionDetailFaults (either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute or from the <ServiceDebug> configuration behavior) on the server in order to send the exception information back to the client or turn on tracing as per the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK documentation and inspect the server trace logs.
All firewalls are turned off and no AV installed, all updates t the servers done already. SMS updated as well.
Any info is much appreciated.
