We are trying to migrate the DHCP role from a Windows 2003 R2 SP2 to a new Windows 2012.
Using the following guide http://technet.microsoft.com/nl-NL/library/dd379545.aspx I installed the Migration Tools on the 2012 server and create the SMT_ws03_x86 folder
using smigdeploy.exe /package function.
After running smigdeploy.exe in cmd from this folder, which is copied locally on the 2003 server, the following pops up:
C:\SMT_ws03_x86>SmigDeploy.exe
SmigDeploy.exe is checking for prerequisites.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SmigDeploy.exe is registering Windows Server Migration Tools cmdlets with Window
s PowerShell.
SmigDeploy.exe is creating a shortcut in Start > Administrative Tools > Windows
Server Migration Tools.
Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast COM object of type 'ShellLink' to interface type 'IShellLinkW'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{000214F9-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}'

I've noticed it did add 'Windows Server Migration Tools' under Administrative tools but there is nothing in this folder.
Anyone an idea?
