fix

If you are unable to upgrade Domain Migration Administrator (DMA) at this time then there are two workarounds available:

  • Edit the FastTrack table in the project database to specify the reduced number of threads.
    1. Close the DMA console.
    2. Using Access 2000, open the project database in \Program Files\DMA\Projects\<project_name>.
    3. Go to the FastTrack table and set the value for "Options.MaxThreads" to 4. 
    4. Close Access 2000.
    5. Open DMA and perform the migration.

OR

  • Do not check the option "Use migration settings defined in the Specify Migration Settings wizard".
    1. Ensure that you have selected the checkbox for "Dispatching agents to computers over a WAN link" in DMA Advanced Settings.
    2. In the computer migration wizard, deselect the checkbox for "Use migration settings defined in the Migration Settings Wizard".  You will then be prompted to re-select the migration settings from the computer migration wizard.  The operation will be performed using the information in the Settings table of the project, which will include the reduced number of threads.
