Hi @SN1 

Did you use a user-seed.conf when setting up the new SH? And/Or did you create an admin user that isnt called "admin"?

It sounds like your admin user does not exist, but there are searches owned by the "admin" user.

To resolve change "owner = admin" and update to a user which exists (ideally a service user) in the default (or local).meta files in all apps on your SH ($SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<appName>/metadata/*.meta

Also check out https://community.splunk.com/t5/Reporting/Why-am-I-getting-error-quot-DispatchManager-The-user-admin...

Please let me know how you get on and consider accepting this answer or adding karma this answer if it has helped.
Regards

Will
