“ConfigureSharePointDatabaseTask: Microsoft SharePoint Foundation is not configured” during SBS 2003 to 2011 Migration

When doing the SBS 2003 to SBS 2011 migration, make sure you have the latest version of the document and ALWAYS review the document in full.

Microsoft made a recent change in the documentation which included a step designed to get around this issue – it’s documented on Page 17 where you need to give the built in administrators group the right to logon as a batch job.  If you have not done this then you will get the error listed in the title of this post.
