Hello Neil,

Thanks for your post.

If you are using the built-in Administrator account, please log off and log on with another account that has net administrator privileges. Then locate to "C:\Program Files
\Windows Small Business Server\Bin\" folder and run the "MigrationWizard.exe" program manually. Does this issue still occur?

If issue still occurs, check for the migrationtask.xml file under C:\program files\Windows small business server\data and the MigrationWizard log under C:\program files
\Windows small business server\Log to see if you can find more information recorded.

This issue is ofen caused by FSMO role seizure failure. So, please look at Event log and see if there is any AD or FSMO errors there. If there are too many errors, we might
need to start the migration again.
