I just did a migration and I think it only prompted for SQL Authentication ( as Cesar notes ). I've also performed an upgrade for one larger customer with sophisticated IT and they were
very reluctant to use their SA credentials because they also had critical SQL databases on the same SQL server.
98% of the time ( maybe 99 ) this doesn't matter as the customer won't have a sophisticated IT department.
However, for any customer with a large and sophisticated IT they could push back against sharing SA and other forms of administrative credentials. For this, I've found it best to address right at the planning stage so my project doesn't stall 25% of the way through.

Always use SQL authentication for the migration wizard, never Windows... that forces the backup / restore processes to run under the SQL Service account, which should have the access (if you set it up using a domain account with local admin access to both servers).
For Wayne's issue, I think I used IP addresses to bypass that once.

I ran into something similar. In my case it was a new SQL server and I wasn't able to browse using \\servername despite using a domain admin account to install.
IT had to add the ability to browse that share. Once they did I could migrate ( in my case manually backing up + copying didn't work )

Found a workaround on the Install guide. Copied the bak files manually to the destination SQL\DATA folder and the migration and conversion completed properly.
If local security settings prevent the wizard from migrating the databases, use SQL Server Management Studio to back up the MAS_System and company databases that you want to migrate. Then copy the .BAK files to the ..\MSSQL\Data folder on the server where the Sage 100 2020 SQL Server instance is installed.
