Trying to migrate from 2008 to 2012 R2. I have installed powershell 2.0 and have 40GB of diskspace in my 2008 which is a new install; I did not configure a static IP address for it and it is running on a VM as a bridged network.
My 2012 server is on bare-metal and I typed the cmdlts:
smigdeploy /package /architecture x86 /os WS08 /path \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\mig
Yes my 2008 is a 32-bit server and "MIG" is the folder I created on my C: drive on my 2008 for the migration package to be deployed, however after typing the cmdlts in my 2012 server I receive this message:
Error: The Windows Server Migration Tools deployment folder could not be created
. Verify that you are logged on by using an account that has permissions to crea
te the folder, that there is sufficient disk space on the destination computer t
o create the deployment folder, and that a file of the same name as folders in t
he specified path does not exist.
Obviously the folder does exist and there is sufficient disk space. I did share the C: drive in my 2008 and have network discovery on both servers. Do I need to add my server 2008 to an Active Directory or domain? My domain for 2008 is "WORKGROUP" while my 2012 has a static IP in a specified domain.
Any help would be great. How do I get the package to deploy?
Thanks in advance.
