Migrate 2008 R2 file servers to a newer version of OS in Azure.
Is it possible to upgrade the operating system and migrate to Azure using the migration tool?
Hi
If you want to consolidate your file servers Azure File Sync can be suitable since you can use many servers in a sync group

Hi
IMO you should definitely consider using SMS Storage Migration Service for this particular need .
Main Benefits are :
- Inventory multiple servers and their data
- Rapidly transfer files, file shares, and security configuration from the source servers
- Optionally take over the identity of the source servers (also known as cutting over) so that users and apps don't have to change anything to access existing data
- Manage one or multiple migrations from the Windows Admin Center user interface

ibnmbodji thank you so much for your response.
I want to consolidate my onprem file servers into a single file server in Azure. I know I can't perform the cutover because they're multiple sources.
Can I select a folder, volume, or disk on the destination for each of the sources to create an organized structure?
Do you know if it's possible?
