When will the SharePoint processing wizard support SharePoint 2013?

When will the SharePoint processing wizard support SharePoint 2013?

  • Nothing official yet, but possibly with the December hotfix release cycle.
    • I can confrim that our R&D team has stated it will be supported in a hotfix for 8.14 only, in December or earlier.

      • FYI, a hotfix for this has been released. 20171229 should be posted to support sight shortly.
        • The previous SP Processing Wizard did not support updating claims authentication when used in 2010. With the default identity model in 2013/2016 being claims based, is it reasonable for me to assume the new (20171229) updated processing wizard supports updating claims based permissions?

          From my experience doing this with a custom script - SharePoint 2013/2016 also require different permissions in for the account doing the updating. I see that the 8.14 System Requirements/Access Rights document has not been updated to show any different rights being required for these versions.

          Has anyone tested the new wizard and can provide feedback on these points?

          • Claims based authentication permissions are supported for SharePoint 2013/2016. This was testing during the dev and QA cycles.
            • Thanks Jeff.

              What is your experience for required permissions? When using a custom PoSh script for this over the years, beyond the Farm Admin rights and full control on the User Profile service I would also:

              1.) Grant the migration service account SharePoint Shell Admin rights
              2.) Add the migration service account with Full Control to a User Policy for all web applications, thus granting full control on all site collections.

              Is your experience the same on required permissions for this, or different?
