AD migration and the Source Server is all ready at "Current DFSR global state: 'Eliminated'"

Doing a SBS 2011 Essentials to Server 2016 Essentials migration and while preparing the source server got this:

C:\Windows\system32>dfsrmig /getglobalstate

Current DFSR global state: 'Eliminated'
Succeeded.

According the instructions I should see: Current DFSR global state: 'Started'

If I remember correctly the source server is not migrated but were a fresh installation. The domain is raisased to the 2008R2 functional level.

Can I just carry on migration process or should I somehow tweek the source server in the way that it would be at Started DFSR global state?

Oh,

Following this guide "Migrate SBS 2011 Standard to Windows Server 2016" by "Windows Server Essentials Tips & Tricks".

Well, my answer stands. I recommend using official Microsoft guidance instead of third party advice. Especially random internet third party advice. You didn't even provide the link... Just a name... Of the guide you are using. I am not in the habit of proofreading other guides for free and can't vouch for the author either way... So... Stick to Microsoft guides.
Thanks Cliff

Not sure if I were allowed to link the guide - so I just added the name and print screen. But you first answer encouraged me just carry on and the now the fsmo roles are all ready transferred to the destination DC. I can close this question now.
Thanks Cliff. I can carry on not to DHCP/DNS/Data migration.
Glad it worked out.
