The info on the new Storage Migration Service tool states that it can migrate from Server 2003 directly to Server 2019. Is that info incorrect? Ned made it look so simple in his Ignite presentation. (Though he was using a server far newer than 2003!) So far I'm unable to find any detailed documentation on how to do this with SMS. Any good pointers?

The SMS info is here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/storage-migration-service/overview The Requirements for Source Servers lists Server 2003 and Server 2003 R2. It would be great to find a step-by-step on how to prepare the Server 2003 system to interact with the SMS tools.

Since a new topic and user I'd start a new thread to maintain forums clarity.

Judging by the title of this thread, I thought I was in the right place. :(

  Actually, no its not. This thread was about domain migration. But even so each user's issues are unique and should be asked in a separate thread where the originator can control the thread. Plus by separating the threads user's searching for answers will get more meaningful results.
