The PS script fails as it appears the migration role is not available on the older 2016 ess server.
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Windows.ServerManager.Migration
Having a poke around the old server looking for it does not show up anywhere.
Running the PS script locally on the old server also fails .
Is it part of 2016 Ess? Can it be downloaded anywhere?
After many hours of scanning with system file checker and dism , the feature cannot be enabled for some reason . It keeps failing. Same with launching the Server manager and adding the feature directly
Best i can find is error 0x80073701
Not sure why this happens but there are other ways for migrating files and folders. Send me an email and I will help you that
