Failed Migration SBS2003 to SBS2011
-
Sunday, February 10, 2013 3:12 PMGuys,
I'm currently in the middle of a failed migration, it appeared to be going well about 30 minutes in when the wizard appeared and stated that an error had occurred and that the migration could not continue.
There was no specific reason given.
Have looked through the setup.log and the following error is recorded;
Summary
Setup: Caught exception when getting source OS Version: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMEx ception (0x800706BA): The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)
I'm currently using three guides to prepare for this migration which is the same as all our migrations;
MPECS - SBS 2003 to SBS 2011 Migration guide v1.4.0
SBS 2011 Standard Migrations - Keys to Success Dematzer Small Business Server 2003 to 2011
All of the checks in each of the guides have been completed to the letter with a 'tick' next to each one.
The SBS 2003 BPA runs fine with no issues.
The Exchange pre-deployment readiness tool runs fine with no issues.
The MS IT Environment Health Scanner runs fine with no issues.
The standard Migration tool runs fine with no issues as well.
So it is with a little surprise that this failed.
I have a system state backup of the server before the start, a full NTBackup, and also a shadow protect full image as well.
Whilst the destination server was accessible I've run WBEMTOOL on the source and destination server and can confirm that it is possible to connect to both without any issues (looking at the source server after the failure there were a couple of services which were stopped compared to a recently migrated system which I've started) -it may be that some of those services (I don't remember which) may have allowed the WBEMTOOL to complete o.k.
So the question I have is that the migration wizard on the destination, simply suggested rebuilding the destination server again which I have done and then re-attempt the migration.
Do I need to restore the system state on the source server - or do I re-attempt again?

Hello K_evin Zhu,
i cannot agree with the marked as answered question here.
The OP has described a problem where the given answer about SBS requirements is COMPLETE OFF TOPIC and is NOT an answer that is correct here.
I know that a trust is NOT a feature in SBS versions from Windows server but again that was not the OPs question.
