Error: Windows agent is not running on the source host

[krishnakantr]

Migrating from server with 9.2.3 (windows 2003) to 9.2.3 (windows 2008). I am receiving error message:

Error: Windows agent is not running on the source host


Steps taken:
- Migration agent running on source server (tried changing port and channel type, updated config on destination server to reflect)
- Client for MS Networks and File and Print Sharing installed on both servers (able to access \\localhost\c$ on both)
- Restarted both servers
- Turned off Windows Firewall on both servers
- Can ping source server from destination server
- telnet each server (source to destination & destination to source) on port 6489

pls suggest...

Try to remove Migration Agent installed on source via Add/Remove Programs and install it manually from http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PPP9/Windows/9.2.3/090914.11/migration-agent.msi

Can you connect via telnet from destination server to source IP 67.231.240.114 with port 6489?
As I see on source server with C:\Program Files (x86)\Parallels\PleskMigrationAgent\WINAgentMng.exe.config
you have not Migration agent bounded to this IP:

<add key="IPAddress" value="" />

But you have tried to use this IP 67.231.240.114 for starting migration procedure.
So, if you can't telnet from destination to source, try to define this IP in the mentioned line and restart agent on source. I hope it will help.

now it gave error something like this ,,

Error: The version of Plesk Migration Agent running on the remote host is older than the version of Plesk Migration Manager being currently used. Please install Plesk Migration Manager components of the same version.

i have 9.3.0 on destination server and source as you know I have installed the migration agent you gave above...
