Computer Migration – Network Path Was Not Found

During my recent Active Directory migration using Quest Migration Manger (QMM), I was getting the following error in the Resource Updating Manager (RUM) console when I was performing computer migration.

"The network path was not found"

I was able to install the Quest Migration Manager (QMM) agent and complete the resource updating without any issues.  But when I started the “Move Computer” process, I was getting  "The network path was not found" error message.

Resolution:
The issue was due to the Remote Registry service.  The Remote Registry service was not running on the workstation.   If you are performing computer migrations, verify the items listed on my following article:
