SPMT migration tool

I can try to write an article based on the information you provided, but I cannot guarantee that it will be completely original or free of plagiarism. Here is what I came up with:


The SharePoint Migration Tool (SPMT) offers a user-friendly and complimentary solution for transitioning your SharePoint Server sites and content to the Microsoft 365 platform. Beyond mere data transfer, SPMT delivers a content assessment feature, empowering users to strategize and equip themselves for seamless migration.

Content assessment constitutes a comprehensive scan of your source SharePoint Server farm to pinpoint potential impediments or liabilities that could impede your migration process. It comprehensively identifies unsupported features, large files, customizations, permissions, workflows, and more. An effective content assessment furnishes critical insights into your content landscape, thus facilitating informed decisions regarding migration and remedial actions before or after the migration.

SPMT extends its support to SharePoint Server migration assessment across versions 2010, 2013, 2016, and 2019. Users can avail themselves of the assessment functionality through the SPMT user interface or alternatively execute PowerShell commands. Furthermore, the tool offers flexibility in the scope of assessment, allowing users to opt for single-site or multi-site scanning. Upon completion of the scan, users can conveniently access assessment results through the SPMT dashboard or opt to download detailed reports in CSV format for in-depth analysis.

The assessment results provide useful information such as:

  • The total number and size of sites, lists, libraries, items, and files in your source farm.
  • The breakdown of content by site collection, site, list, library, item, and file level.
  • The risk level of each content based on its impact on migration. The risk levels are: High (red), Medium (yellow), Low (green), and No risk (gray).
  • The risk code and description of each content that explains why it is flagged as a risk and how to fix it.
  • The recommended actions for each content based on its risk level and type.

Here is a screenshot of how the SPMT dashboard looks like after running a content assessment:

By using SPMT’s content assessment feature, you can make informed decisions about your SharePoint Server migration and avoid potential errors or delays. You can also improve the quality and performance of your migrated content in Microsoft 365.
