I looked it up and it seems the modified date attribute isn't supported. What does "created by" say? this should be migrated

    Modified Date is coming properly. Created Date is showing as migration date and time.

     

    Created by is also showing as Admin Name.

     

    Seems this is the limitation (Modified by and created by field) in the tool. If that is the concern, then this tool is not for us :).

      Hi Adam

       

      Finally I got the issue, the files which I was migrating has no metadata information with associated  files. Then we copied some files where we have metadata information available with the files and did migration.

       

      Bingo, it works as expected. All the metadata are properly populating after migration.

       

      BTW, still I am not able to found any article on Limitation of MS SharePoint Migration Tool. Any idea?

       

      Thanks for your help.
