Storage Migration Service stucks at 30% - Can't unjoin domain

Hi, I tried to migrate a 2012R2 fileserver to a new 2022 machine this weekend. It wasn’t the first time I used the storage migration service, but this time it didn’t worked. On phase 3 (cutover) i...

    Hello again,

    after three months we finally gave it a new try.
    The migration succeeded.
    There was quite a few maintanance things we did, I will tell you the most likely reasons:

    -since March a new admin center version and SMS version released
    -Also new windows updates was released which were installed on all relevant servers
    -We checked the eventlog on the source server for any errors and fixed them
    -> NTP, shares, ....
    -we also did a winsock reset:

    Reset Winsock control.

Restoring transaction logs.
fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\

Restoring TPC/IP.
netsh int ip reset

Restoring Winsock.
netsh winsock reset

Restoring default policy settings.
netsh advfirewall reset

Restoring the DNS cache.
ipconfig /flushdns

Restoring the Proxy.
netsh winhttp reset proxy

    Some of these may be the solution!

For anybody looking at a solution, I had the exact same 30% stuck at cutover for a 2012r2 to 2022. I tried a lot of different things and the only thing that actually did something was updating from online sources. Not sure if you guys use WSUS or SCCM or whatnot but none of my servers had any updates available when looking for updates, when i selected to look online for updates, all of them had updates available and after installing them, this process took less than 15 minutes to complete flawlessly. What a headache that was.
