I have tried doing an in place upgrade of a WSE 2012 R2 server to WSE 2016. After it was done and came back up, The Essentials control panel didn't show any users (although I can go to AD Users and Groups and they are there). Pressing "Add a user account" immediately results in a dialog "The task "Add a user account" did not complete successfully."
What can I look at to fix this?
OK, now for the long version. I am a former Windows Home Server user and moved to WSE 2012 R2 when it became available to fill the gap. My current WSE is running on older hardware and I wish to move it to VMWare, The move to VMWare seems to have gone OK (albeit, I have not enabled the NIC for the guest since I haven't shut down the currently running WSE box--so it's not fully tested). Before doing the WSE 2016 upgrade I went into the Essentials control panel and verified that the users actually still existed. I ran the in-place upgrade on the VM copy, and now my users are missing in the Essentials control panel (but still there in AD).
If anyone has any thoughts about what I can look at, that would be great.
Thanks,
Jim
