Resolved Issues and Enhancements

The following is a list of issues addressed and enhancements implemented in this release of Quest File Migrator for SharePoint.

 

Resolved Issue

Change Request

The Edit Migration Job Wizard might notify you that it cannot find the target location when you try to edit some migration jobs that were created using the Quest File Migrator for SharePoint PowerShell cmdlets. These migration jobs either do not have a port number in the target URL or they have a target document library path that does not exactly match the path on the SharePoint site.

 

Solution: Reselect the target location in the Edit Migration Job Wizard.

TF#11672

Icons might not appear in the Target pane of the Create/Edit Migration Job Wizard. This is because Microsoft Management Console 3.0 might not correctly display 32-bit color icons.

 

Solution: Icon display has been corrected.

TF#18093
If files with the same names are migrated from multiple sources to one target folder at the same time, the contents and permissions of the migrated files might not be correct.

 

Solution: A migrate source folder rule has been added.

TF#26550
If you run a migration job for a second time and that migration job is run using the overwrite existing/add new version and migrate file permissions migration rules and the account used to migrate the files does not have Full Control access to the source files, then the migrated file permissions will be changed from inherited to unique on the target.

 

Solution - Handling of permissions has been improved as Quest File Migrator for SharePoint now makes use of the SharePoint homeowners group.

TF#26551
