Migration Tool error

Question

Hi there, 
 I have an issue at present where I cannot seem to migrate laptops on Corporate WIFI. I get the attached error. 
 However the same error is also present on those where the migration has succeeded, which is confusing. 
 
 Any advice will be appreciated. 
 
 Thanks, 
 Mevesh

Hello skyisbluescreen, 
 as said I have no experience with the tool. The Concepts chapter suggests that it writes directly to the share - and the default share one the management server is the only one that is guaranteed to exist and be writable. Furthermore it needs access to the database (not sure why it requires the database to be local). Guaranteed writing to a child SUM's default share would require that it runs on the SUM - but then it might not be able to access the database. I reckon that complex topologies could be supported if SEC itself were to handle to migration. The Installer could be distributed like any other product, the logic would have to be added to SEC though - and as Central doesn't (at least not short-term) supersede SESC this effort isn't justified. The SEC guys have better things to do than working on their product's demise. 
 Why IMO Central was initially targeted at small to medium businesses (keep in mind that Central does not (yet) support strict version control and change management) that - if they aren't new customers - likely have just one server. It'd not have been a good decision to wait with the release of Central until the availability of an Enterprise-capable migration tool.
