DrKuhlman I came across the same issue today, in my case both source and destination file server was on cluster, I resolved it by manually performing the task.

I found the following issues.

1. The existing (source) cluster name was not renamed.

2. The DNS record with new temporary IP was not created.

3. The computer object of cluster name (temporary name for source cluster) was not created.

SOLUTION!

1. Created new DNS record with New IP of source cluster.

2. Create the computer object for the new cluster name of the source server.

As soon as created above record, the wizard which was stuck at 41% got completed in the next minute!!!

In short what action the Wizard is intended to do and got stuck due to some reason I did that step manually and the long awaited migration got completed.
