SharePoint Migration Tool with file exclusions not reporting/running as expected
I was curious if anyone in the community was successful with using the Migration Tool with file exclusions. I did a migration with a small list of exclusions first time through, but now i'm throwing ...
Hi Timothy,
I tested this today and found that extensions need to be separated by ":", not "|". I created files using your extension list then performed a migration where these extensions were excluded. The only extensions that didn't work were "0.1" (listed twice), and "0.19422894". I suspect that if you added these extensions as "1" and "19422894" the list would work.

- Making sure this is noted somewhere... With this large of a file extension exclusion list and a migrating a large amount of content will make the SharePoint Migration Tool take a long spin up and analyze the data prior to migrating the files. Not an issue but more as a warning of expected behavior, IMO.
