Yet another post with issues with importing Organization from 8.2.1.176 to 9.0.16, On Prem -- can't get past it

Posted on by 258

So I've read virtually every post out there about migrating an organization from 8.2 to 9.0, but no solution seems to be a good fix for all.  Our CRM 8.2 is a rather old installation, but I'm not sure we're in a position to upgrade from 8.2.1.176 to 8.2.18.16 unless some think this is just the only way to get our organization over.  Alternatively has anyone just scrapped the notion of migrating an older organization and done a data dump to a new Unified Interface organization?  Our CRM organization was started with CRM v4 so it's gone through every major version from it to v8.2, so could there be remnants of old hanging around causing issues?

Thanks for suggestions or guidance.

    Currently this is the error I'm trying to resolve. At first I was getting missing SMO SQL component, but I installed SSMS 2017 on the CRM Web Server (which is not ideal - but this is a test system) and this fixed the issue.  Now it's the autonumberformat issue with Attribute.
