Analyze Fileshare 5
 
File Path Length - To stay within the guidelines of SharePoint, this option will scan this file share location and identify the file path. You will find paths longer than the set value in the report. Default value is 256 characters.
 
Component Name Length – The report will record if a path component is bigger than the set value.  Microsoft recommends the effective limit of a path component be set to 128 characters. Default value is 128 characters.
 
Name Contains Invalid Characters - Certain characters are considered invalid and therefore forbidden to be used in standard SharePoint naming conventions. The report will record any Files with Invalid Characters in the name.
 
Blocked Files Extension - SharePoint blocks specific file types from being uploaded. Enabling this option will scan the file share location and identify the content based on this list of defined blocked file extensions and inform users about any potential blocks. Default values are aspx, asmx, ascx, master, xap, swf, jar, xsf, htc.
 
Forbidden Names - Due to SharePoint Online restrictions, file names may not contain any of these defined strings. The report will record any Files with Forbidden Names. Default values are taken from Profile Manager > Advanced > Forbidden Folder and Files Names.
 
File Size Limitation (MB) - This option will record items in the report which are greater than the set value. Default is 50 MB.
 
Search for duplicate files - Enabling this option will scan the file share location and identify the files that have the same name and extension stored within the folder's structure.
 
Created - The report will record Files with a created date older than the specified value.
 
Last Modified - The report will record Files with a last modified date older than the specified value.
 
Last Accessed - The report will record Files with a last accessed date older than the specified value.
 
Send Notification - Essentials will send the specified user an email notification after the report is completed.

info

NOTE: The analysis parameters have default settings that scan for files that are outside of the out of the box parameters for SharePoint. You can make changes to the default parameter settings in the wizard in the event that your SharePoint environment has been customized to allow for files outside of SharePoint's original parameters. The pre-migration analysis works for file systems and file shares that can be mounted as a networked drive.

4.Select "Finish" to begin the Pre-Migration Analysis.
