SBS 2011 migration preparation tool must be member Domain Admins, Enterprise Admins, or Schema Admins error
When running the Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard Migration Preparation Tool, keeps coming with the following popup error:
To prepare the source server for migration, you must be a member of all of the following security groups: Enterprise Admins, Schema Admins, and Domain Admins. For additional information, see the article at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=190413
But despite the account is member of all the given security groups, it won’t continue and keeps giving this message.
Solution: The message will also keeps popping up when one of the three groups is configured as the primary group. Change the primary group via Active directory users and computers to Domain Users.

Thanks for this as I could not figure out for the life of me why it was not working but the tech before me set Enterprise admins as the default and removed Domain Users.

You’re a lifesaver, thanks!
Thanks, can someone alert the brain trust in Redmond
I had exactly the same problem, I’ve been following the swing it document but still recieved this error.
Many, many thanks.

did you check if the primary group is set to domain users for the account you use during migration?
Thanks a lot, you saved my day!!!
Fantastic! I was driving myself crazy clicking on that darn icon, wondering why it didn’t launch!
Brilliant, would have faffed about for ages trying to get round this one. Thanks
Brilliant, thanks!!
thanks ! I was wondering maybe it was happening because it would look at my dutch AD: changing the primary group to domain users solved it !
Thanks for the solution, worked for me.
Legendary effort. When I saw this error I thought WTF!! Checked the membership 3 times. Thankfully found this fix.
THANKS! MUCH APPRECIATED! I was banging my head against the keyboard on this one.
Now, to buy a new keyboard for that machine . . . .
Was doing SBS2003 to SBS2011 Migration, all went well apart from the last step, unable to remove exchange from the old SBS server. Stumbled across this article and it did the trick! thanks!!!!
