SharePoint Migration Tool - PACK FAILURE","Packaging Failure:Unauthorized access to source file
Hi Eva
Thanks for sharing the information. I will go thru this. I am still trying to figure out the original problem which I mentioned in initial post.
If you got any solution on this please let me know.
Thanks

Hello Avian 1 !
Regarding your first post on the access issue I wonder if this yet is solved or not:
"Packaging Failure:Unauthorized access to source file" ?
Did you check your access permissions to your file server as i suppose?
Is there any admin on your side to check this back?
Greets, Eva.

I am having exact permission error here.
Let me reach out to my infrastructure team to confirm my item level permission on the folders. Hope this helps me as well.
Thanks.

- Eva VogelFeb 12, 2019Steel ContributorHi Avian, I remember of a story months ago that amazon had trucks of stored files because uploading/migrating is slower than transporting the big data IRL. Sounds funny but even in Germany with 5G transfer rates it’s sometimes annoying. ask your provider if they have an idea for widen up your transfer rate. Greets, Eva

Hi Eva,
It was item level permission issue of File Server. When infra team assigned item level permission to all the files we are able to migrate files without any issue.
However I am wondering about tool performance. When we migrate 11 GB contents (9000 files approx), it took almost 23 hrs to finish the migration. Approx 480 MB per hour.
FYI, I am doing migrate with "Migrate Permission" option, hope this is not slowing performance.
We have 10 MBPS dedicated internet connection on dedicated VM (windows 2012 R2), but still performance is very poor. We are not running any other applications on this server and no other user logged remotely.
I will also try that instead of migrate whole folder (Level 1), I will try to migrate level 2 folder using CSV. In csv I will add multiple entry for level 2 folders. Hoping this helps.
I also tried PowerShell HSM command let, but almost got same performance.
Any advise to improve the migration speed.
Regards
Avian

Hi Eva,
When I said Folder Level Permission or Item level Permission means these kind of permission on File Server not on SharePoint.
I already learned about the SharePoint Permission by your shared URL.

- Eva VogelFeb 07, 2019Steel ContributorHey there! Folder level permission means you are only a“Member“ and have only the ability to „contribute. Ask your infra team to give a training on SharePoint. Or ask your siteowner (next level of your current permissions) and then your website collection admin and then your SP admin. SP isn’t only another file share, it must be taught to users. Greets, Eva

Hi Eva
I am working with infra team. Initial investigation says we have folder level permission, but dont have item level permission. Because If I copy file manually I am getting error "You'll need to provide administrator permission to copy this file"
I will keep you update on this.
Thanks
