- Hi Everyone,
Thanks for the responses.
Finally managed to sort it out the other day. Seems to be an issue with the tenant. This worked fine with other tenants.
So, the fix:
1) Create an Azure Storage account in your Azure account. Ensure that the storage is in the same region as your SharePoint tenant. (NOTE: Azure Storage accounts created in this method incurs charges)
2) Get the account name and key for the Azure Storage.
3) In SPMT, once the source and destination for the migration are added. Click on the fly wheel/settings icon.
4) Enable Custom Azure Storage, enable encryption.
5) Enter the Azure account name and key.
6) Apply the settings and start migration.
Once the migration is done, delete the Azure Storage account after ~ a week. Otherwise, you'll keep incurring charges for some encrypted data.
Hope this helps. And I hope the SPMT developers fix this issue.
Haneef, If you cannot resolve the problem with the MS Migration Tool then you may wish to use Migration Manager. It uses chunked upload for large files. The latest version supports OneDrive for Business. The trial version (15 days) should allow you to upload the files without any costs. Paul | SLIM Applications
You can also try other file migration or synchronization tools that are able to stream large files from local file shares to OneDrive for Business, such as the Layer2 Cloud Connector.
