Failed migration from SBS 2008, the error indicates that it was not able to make itself a domain controller. Problem due to failing SBS 2008 source server that randomly hangs. So I'm guessing the failure occured becuse the source server hung during the migration process. The new SBS2011 server then booted into a normal screen not joined to the domain. I then rebooted the source server to get it back online and then manually launched the DCPROMO command "which maybe I should not have done." The command was successful and the server joined the domain but it is not in migration mode.
Tried another reboot, now I can log into the new SBS2011 server but the desktop is blank without a task bar. I can launch task manager and run individual apps , control panel, event viewer, explorer.exe etc. I can even launch the SBS console. Not seeing any events in event viewer that indicates problem with desktop. I tried booting into safe mode same result. Then tried turning off account control and rebooting, same result. I found a reg key fix to put the server back into migration mode but not sure if I should do that without having access to the desktop. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
