Here's my setup:
Source server: Win 2008 R2 that has 5 shares on it (all from the same drive - D Drive). This is my AD and DC and DNS server.
Destination server: Win 2019 Std. This is my secondary AD/DC/DNS. I have Windows Admin Center with Storage Migration Services setup.
Both computers have 100% of their updates installed.
During the project setup for Storage Migration Services - I'm adding and scanning a device (my 2008 R2 server). The scan goes fine, but the state will eventually tell me "Couldn't inventory some devices" - which is strange. I only have 1 device. Maybe it's talking about some folders.
When I'm finally at the Transfer Data stage - validate devices: the validation fails with this message:
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.
All the other validations pass.
If I attempt to start the transfer, I get this error:
Migration-01 : Start transfer : RemoteException: Transfer validation failed or was not run. Fix errors and rerun validation or override this check in Transfer settings.
(Migration-01 is the name of the project I'm setting up).
Not sure what's going on here. I suspect I need to resolve the first error, but I can't. I haven't found anything online related to this. The error is so generic it doesn't give me any information go really research.
Can someone help? I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
