Moving from SBS 2011 to Server 2016 Essentials same IP address, Server Name and Domain name. Workstations are all Windows 10

Traditionally a user uses "Servername"/connect to join the computer to the new Domain

If I use ProWiz to join the Domain do I not need to join again with "Connect"?

If you are joining machines to a new Essentials Server, you should use the Essentials “Connect” Wizard to join the machines to the domain, and then use User Profile Wizard to migrate the profiles. If you don’t do this, the machines will not show up in the Essentials Dashboard.

Thank you for your reply. One last question.

Should I log in for both the Server/connect and the ProWiz as a different administrator than the user profile being migrated?

So far so good. You do need to join the new network with Server/connect. Then using a different administrator account, run ProWiz after the migration and before logging into the user account which you are migrating.

You must have that administrative account on the workstation or create one before performing the connect and running ProWiz. You do not need to join the network in ProWiz as you connected the workstation with Server/connect

Great Program!!! 5 points for Forensit 0 points for MicroSoft
