5.1 Upgrade Compat. Utility Compressing Stuck @ 11%

[jbaker]

Hello everyone,

Using the Upgrade Compatibility Utility to create my Migrate.zip file. The product compatibility check passes. Once I hit migrate, everything starts off alright. Compressing starts and hits 11% then just doesn't go anywhere. Both times I've tried the Migration it has stopped at 11%.

Is there anywhere I can see a log of where it might be getting hung up?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I should add that I'm running on Windows Server 2003 R2 using SQL Server 2005.

Just noticed your question but it might be late. Did it finish or did you cancel? Still need help?

It never finished and remained at 11%. I restored the server from a snapshot and have not yet tried again.

I will likely be trying again sometime soon. Is there anything I can look for during the process that might assist me with figuring out what might be going wrong?

Thank you for your reply.

Migration tool succeeded today. It was most likely a disk space issue. I only had about 3.5GB on my drive remaining, while the Migration zip was about 4.5GB. Saving the output file to a secondary drive was my solution.
