Now we have error how to fix to success full move. Above issue will reports on below scenarios.
Pre request:
Step 1: The account used for the installation and the computer account of SCCM have to be members of the local admins group on SCCMDB and need also sysadmin rights in SQL.
Step 2: make sure you configure the SQL services to run under a domain user account rather than as local system or network service. Running SQL under a domain user follows MS best practices.
Step 3: Certificate is not mapped to your SCCM Instance. How to verify ?
Launch the SQL Server Configuration Manager, expand SQL Server Network Configuration, right click Protocols for MSSQLSERVER and click Properties. Make sure ConfigMGR SQL Server Identification Certificate is Mapped if missing then we have to create certificate and import in SCCMDB Server.
If Certificate is missing. How to Create Certificate?
Create ConfigMgr SQL Server Identification Certificate.
To create ConfigMgr SQL Server Identification Certificate, open the IIS management console. Select the server then double click Server Certificates
