Hi Group,

after a testmigration from an old Fileserver to a new one with the
FileserverMigrationTool, a new folder was created witch stores the actually
folders. Can i change this during the migration process and for what is
this folder needed. Can i move the content of this folder to the top level?

Note: There is no DFS working!

Thanks for any hints

Bye Tom

Hi Tom,

Yes, by default, target shared folders are named
Sharename_SourceServerName, where Sharename is the name of the shared
folder on the source file server, and SourceServerName is the name of the
source file server. The source file server name is appended to prevent name
conflicts. If you are migrating a small number of shared folders, you can
remove the source server name by editing the name shown in Target share for
each source shared folder.

For large migrations, you can edit the .xml file as follows:

1.) Create the migration project and add the source file servers. Note:
Please record the detailed path of the project as we will use it later.

2.) Clear the check box of "Use the following DFS root server", because it
is not necessary since you will rename the new file server after the
migration.

3.) Close the File Server Migration Wizard.

4.) Locate the .xml project file for the migration project (the path we
recorded in Step 1)). By default, project files are stored in a folder
called FileServerMigration.

5.) Use Notepad to open the .xml project file.

6.) Search for ?TargetShare?Sharename_SourceServerName?/TargetShare? and
remove _SourceServerName as needed.

For example, if you want to remove the server name _MyOldFS from the target
share names, you need to replace all occurrences of the
_MyOldFS?/TargetShare? string with the ?/TargetShare? string.

Note: Tags in the .xml file are case sensitive. You must type the tags
exactly as they are shown here.

7.) Save and close the .xml file, restart the File Server Migration Wizard,
and select the project file that you modified. Follow the wizard to finish
the migration.

Please go to a client and check if the new share on the new file server is
now accessible.

In addition, I suggest you perform a complete backup for the existing file
server before we run the FSMT wizard.

Any update, let us get in touch!
