Storage Migration Service Hangs on Adding a Destination
Hey bobbowlin,
I opened a ticket with Microsoft and they are looking into the problem. They gave an initial indication that this may be part of a known problem with Storage Migration Service, but have not yet confirmed.
Will pass along any insights.
Good luck on your end.
Same problem on multiple 2019 servers running Windows Admin Center. This had been working fine for me a dozen times, but I had to uninstall/reinstall on one server and I updated to the latest version of Windows Admin Center(1904.1) and also updated my extensions for SMS, so I think it is one of those two. Tried installing everything on a different 2019 server as well and using both Chrome and Firefox clients with same results. I can add a device, scan it, enter in credentials, but when I get to next screen where I can normally add the destination both servers running WAC just hang with "Loading..." and never let me type. This was working fine prior and will probably see if I can install an older version of admin center
I took a new server with 2019, all updates and 1904.1 and it failed in the exact same spot with "Loading...". after scanning a server with a lot of shares on it(someone else in this thread had mentioned the same) So that was 2 servers with same issue with 1904.1 installed. I then removed 1904.1 and installed 1809.5 and it fixed everything
Dan Hthanks for digging. I'm running1809 on the destination server. I will say that my source server is not well configured (one of the reasons we are migrating), so in my case there may be more going on. I'm pushing forward with using other options to get the server migrated and fixed.
Best!
