You need to create a shared folder on the Source Server, I’ve just granted everyone full control, (this is just for the migration tools). Source Server: Here you can see my user profiles, I’ll do the migration with them, as usually they are the most ‘challenging’. Destination Server: Windows 2012 R2 Data Center 2012.After consulting google, I am under the impression we cannot break this limit on Server 2012 R2, using a registry fix. The folder structure on this file server is rather complex, there are many differant folders and levels which we just cannot shorten. Source Server: Windows Server 2003 Standard 圆4 (x86 supported as well) A file path limit is set to 260 charectors for one of our key file servers.All: UDP port 7000 needs to be open, from source to the destination server.įile Server Migration Server 2008 to Server 2019.

How about a tool, that migrates all the files, folders and profiles while maintaining all the NTFS permissions, AND Share permissions! Windows File Server Migration Tools This is because the file permissions on ‘correctly deployed’ user profiles mean you can’t open them. When attempting a File Server Migration why isn’t this better publicised? Did you know Microsoft have a set of Migration tools, and one of them is for file servers? Now traditionally I’d use RoboCopy or XCopy to migrate files and folders, and for ‘User Profiles’ I would normally back them up, and restore them to the new server.
