Copy Database Wizard error: Enumerate subsystems failed for JobServer

Question

Hi, non-SQL person looking for some guidance. I'm trying to copy databases with permissions from a Win2008 server with SQL2008R2 to a Win2012 server with SQL2012. I'm running SSMS on the 2012 instance, and intiating the Copy Wizard from there. I'm getting
the following error. Thanks.

Hi scogordo,
From your description, are you using SSMS 2008 R2 to perform the copy action?  I make a test on my computer, and get the same error as yours. To work around this issue, please use SSMS 2012 to copy database from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012.
There is a feedback to Microsoft about the issue for your reference.
