If you are migrating from SBS 2003 and you are migrating to SBS 2011 Essentials, when installing the client connector wizard on SBS 2011 Essentials you may hit an issue where the client connector log shows the following error:

In order to install the connector, try using a domain administrator account to begin the client connector wizard or use the same user that first joined the computer to the domain, or set up a new local administrator account on the machine and then provide network AD credentials when prompted.
