Review the Dashboard.log file, but also confirm you have internet access (im sure you do).
How far into the wizard do you get before this happens?

Hi,
Anything updates now?
If the issue persists, would you please share more detailed information about your configuration? Since you have mentioned migration, i recommend you to run the Windows Server 2012 Essentials Best Practices Analyzer.
In addition,to automatically set up your domain name on a server running Windows Server Essentials, you must use a domain name service provider that is listed in the Set Up Your Domain Name Wizard. It seems that you have used an existing domain name, is it a domain name that you purchased from one of the supported domain name service providers?
More information:
Run the Windows Server 2012 Essentials Best Practices Analyzer
Manage Remote Web Access in Windows Server Essentials

I was unable find a file called Dashboard.log, or anything similar.
Internet access is working fine.
Wizard fails at "Set Up Your Domain" phase.

Godaddy is the domain name service provider.
I will run BPA tomorrow.

Hi,
Anything updates now?
Just as Grey said that Dashboard.log is a hidden file, have you found any related information in the log?
Best regards,
