Update! We shipped Windows Server 2019!!! Go to

for all production support info on SMS! You don't need this blog post anymore. đ
The
Storage Migration Service
helps you migrate servers and their data without reconfiguring applications or users.
Migrates unstructured data from anywhere into Azure & modern Windows Servers
Itâs fast, consistent, and scalable
It takes care of complexity
It provides an easily-learned graphical workflow
My team has been working on this critter for some time and today youâll learn about what it can do now, what it will do at RTM, and what the future holds.
Did I mention that it comes in both Standard and Datacenter editions and has a road map that includes SAN, NAS, and Linux source migrations?
Come with meâŚ
Why did we make this?
You asked us to! No really, I dug through endless data, advisory support cases, surveys, and first party team conversations to find that our #1 issue keeping customers on older servers was simply that migration is hard, and we donât provide good tools. Think about what you need to get right if you want to replace an old file server with a new one, and not cause data loss, service interruption, or outright disaster:
All data must transfer
All shares and their configuration must transfer
All share and file system security must transfer
All in-use files must transfer
All files you, the operator, donât have access to must transfer
All files that changed since the
last
time you transferred must transfer
All use of
local
groups and users must transfer
All data attributes, alternate data streams, encryption, compression, etc. must transfer
All network addresses must transfer
All forms of computer naming, alternate naming, and other network resolution must transfer
Whew!
If you were to wander into this
Spiceworks
data on market share (a little old but still reasonably valid), youâll see some lopsided ratios:
A year and a half later, there are a few million Windows Server 2016 nodes in market that have squeezed this balloon, but thereâs even more Windows Server 2012 and still plenty of 2008 families, plus too much wretched, unsupported Windows Server 2003. Did you know that
Windows Server 2008 Support ends in January of 2020
? Just 20 months away from the end of life for WS2008 and we still have all this 2003!
The Storage Migration Service (Updated: August 30, 2018)
Important: This section of the blog post is going to change periodically, as with the Windows Insider preview system and Windows Admin Centerâs preview extension system, I can give you new builds, features and bug fixes very rapidly. Youâll want to check back here often.
In this first version, the feature copies over SMB (any version). Targets like Azure File Sync servers, IaaS VMs running in Azure or MAS, or traditional on-prem hardware and VMs are all valid targets.
The feature consists of an orchestrator service and one or more proxy services deployed. Proxies add functionality and performance to the migration process, while the orchestrator manages the migration and stores all results in a database.
Storage Migration Service operates in three distinct phases:
Inventory â an administrator selects nodes to migrate and the Storage Migration Service orchestrator node interrogates their storage, networking, security, SMB share settings, and data to migrate
Transfer â the administrator creates pairings of source and destinations from that inventory list, then decides what data to transfer and performs one more or transfers
Cutover â the administrator assigns the source networks to the destinations and the new servers take over the identity of the old servers. The old servers enter a maintenance state where they are unavailable to users and applications for later decommissioning, while the new servers use the subsumed identities to carry on all duties.
Walk through
Requirements
Youâll need the following to start evaluating this feature:
At least two
Windows Server 2019 Preview
computers or VMs with the Storage Migration Service features installed (
Build 17744 or later
). One will operate as the orchestrator and one as the destination of the migration.
Note: it is supported to make the orchestrator and destination the same computer, such as in a small environment with a single server to migrate. A larger environment will usually have a single Orchestrator and many destinations, however, so that's how the steps are documented below.
Supported
source
operating systems VM or hardware (to migrate
from)
:
Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2008
Windows Server 2008 R2
Windows Server 2012
Windows Server 2012 R2
Windows Server 2016
Windows Server 2019 Preview
Supported
destination
operating system VM or hardware (to migrate
to
):
Windows Server 2012 R2
Windows Server 2016
Windows Server 2019 Preview*
*
Windows Server 2019 Preview will have double the data transfer performance due to its inclusion of the SMS Proxy service.
Security:
All computers domain-joined
You must provide a migration account that is an administrator on selected source computers
You must provide a migration account that is an administrator on selected destination computers
The following firewall rules must be enabled INBOUND on source and destination* computers:
âFile and Printer Sharing (SMB-In)â
âNetlogon Service (NP-In)"
"Windows Management Instrumentation (DCOM-In)"
"Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI-In)"
* Windows Server 2019 with the SMS Proxy installed will automatically open and close correct firewall ports during migrations
The following firewall rule must be enabled INBOUND on orchestrator computer only if you wish to download reports:
âFile and Printer Sharing (SMB-In)â
Install
Use the Windows Admin Center, Server Manager, or PowerShell to install the Storage Migration Service. The SMS extension allows this with a single click:
The features to install on the
orchestrator node
are:
âStorage Migration Serviceâ
âStorage Migration Service Proxyâ
(installs automatically when orchestrator selected)
âStorage Migration Service toolsâ (
installs automatically when orchestrator selected, under Remote Server Administration Tools, Feature Administration Tools
)
The feature to install on the
Destination
nodes where you intend to migrate
to
:
âStorage Migration Service Proxyâ
Run your first test inventory and transfer
Now youâre ready to start migrating.
Logon to your
Windows Admin Center
instance and connect to the orchestrator node as an administrator.
2. Ensure the latest Storage Migration Service extension is in the Tools menu (if not,
install the extension
) and click it.
3. Observe the landing page. There is a summary that lists all active and completed jobs. Jobs contain one or more source computers to inventory, transfer, and cutover as part of a migration.
4. You are about to begin the
Inventory.
Click
New Job
. Enter a job name, click Next.
5. Enter
Source Credentials
that are an administrator on your source (to be migrated from) computers and click Next.
6. Click
Add Device
and add one or more source computers. These must be Windows Server and should contain SMB Shares with test data on them that you want to migrate.
7. Click
Start Scan
and wait for the inventory to complete.
8. Observe the results. You can open the
Details
at the bottom of the page with the caret in the lower right. When done reviewing, click
Finish Inventory
.
9. You are now in the
Transfer
You are always free to return to the Inventory phase and redefine what it gathers, get rid of the job, create a new job, or proceed forward to data transfer. As you can see, each phase operates in a similar fashion by providing credentials, setting rules, defining nodes, then running in a result screen.
10. Provide credentials, destination computers mapped to the source computers, ensure each server you wish to migrate is set to
Included
in transfer, review your settings,
validate
the proposed transfer, then proceed with
Start Transfer
.
11. Observe the migration. You will see data transfers occur in relative real time (periodically refreshed) as the orchestrator copies data between source and destination nodes. When complete, examine the destination server and youâll find that Storage Migration Service recreated all shares, folders, and files with matching security, attributes, characteristics (see Known Issues below for not-yet-released functionality here). . Note the
Export
options that allows you to save a complete database dump of the transfer operations for auditing purposes.
12. Move to the cutover phase.
13. Note that the destination credentials are preserved (but can be changed).
14. Pair the network interfaces between source and destination NICs so that IP addresses can be moved. You have the option to move the old source computer to DHCP or use a new static IP address. You also have the option to randomly rename the old source computer or specify a new name, as the destination will take over the old name as part of cutover.
15.
Validate
the cutover preparedness, then begin the cutover and allow the destination computer to take over the network and names of the old source.
Both source and destination will reboot several times apiece.
The progress bar will show how far until the operation completes.
Cutover time to completion depends on:
a. Server reboot times
b. AD Replication time (for domain joins and computer accounts being known to all users)
c. DNS replication time
16. When cutover completes, migration is done. Your old servers are renamed and have new network configurations so that they are inaccessible to users and applications, but still retain all data and shares. The new servers now assume all duties of the computers they replaced, and users cannot tell that anything changed.
Known issues
Important! During the preview phase we need you to always run latest binaries before reporting bugs. To get the latest:
Missing Menu Option
- if you do not see the SMS tool listed in the left-hand menu of Windows Admin Center even with the extension installed, ensure that your Orchestrator server is running build 17744 or later
Applies to:
Windows Server 2019 Insider Preview Build
17744
Storage Migration Service Extension Version 0.0.
17744
Roadmap
What does the future hold? We have a large debt of work already accumulated for when we complete the SMB and Windows Server transfer options. Things on the roadmap â
not promised, just on the roadmap
đ:
Network range and AD source computer scanning for inventory
Samba, NAS, SAN source support
NFS for Windows and Linux
Block copy transfers instead of file-level
NDMP support
Hot and cold data detection on source to allow draining untouched old files
Azure File Sync and Azure Migrate integration
Server consolidation
More reporting options

. Keep in mind that I may still make you go to feedback hub or UserVoice.
Now get to testing and keep an ear out for updates. We plan to send out new builds of Windows Server 2019 and the Storage Migration service very often until we get close to RTM. I will post announcements here and on
twitter
.
We are in the migration of our release pipelines internally for Windows Admin Center - extensions and the version bump from 4.1.0 to 4.9.0 was an effect of that and has not a big impact on the workings of the storage migration service itself!
Dear NedPyle, just noticed that Storage Migration Service WAC extension has seen a huge increment. from 4.1.0 to 4.9.0. May I ask if there is a changelog available for that one?
Omitted fun fact: SMS *requires* at least one Windows Server 2019 server in your environment to act as an orchestrator. If you only have Server 2016 and below, you're stuck with the old school MS File Server Migration Toolkit. Happy migrating!
Really frustrating... one of the big reasons why we want to migrate our file server is to migrate from NTFS to REFS w/ dedupe in Server 2019. Why would this not be an option?

\n \n Update! We shipped Windows Server 2019!!! Go to\n \n https://aka.ms/storagemigrationservice\n \n for all production support info on SMS! You don't need this blog post anymore. đ\n \n
\n \n \n \n \n Hi Folks,\n \n Ned\n \n here again with big news:\n \n Windows Server 2019 Preview\n \n contains an entirely new feature!\n \n \n The\n \n Storage Migration Service\n \n helps you migrate servers and their data without reconfiguring applications or users.\n \n
\n \n
\n Migrates unstructured data from anywhere into Azure & modern Windows Servers\n
\n \n
\n Itâs fast, consistent, and scalable\n
\n \n
\n It takes care of complexity\n
\n \n
\n It provides an easily-learned graphical workflow\n
\n \n
\n \n My team has been working on this critter for some time and today youâll learn about what it can do now, what it will do at RTM, and what the future holds.\n \n \n Did I mention that it comes in both Standard and Datacenter editions and has a road map that includes SAN, NAS, and Linux source migrations?\n \n
\n \n
\n \n Come with meâŚ\n \n
\n Why did we make this?\n
\n \n You asked us to! No really, I dug through endless data, advisory support cases, surveys, and first party team conversations to find that our #1 issue keeping customers on older servers was simply that migration is hard, and we donât provide good tools. Think about what you need to get right if you want to replace an old file server with a new one, and not cause data loss, service interruption, or outright disaster:\n \n
\n \n
\n All data must transfer\n
\n \n
\n All shares and their configuration must transfer\n
\n \n
\n All share and file system security must transfer\n
\n \n
\n All in-use files must transfer\n
\n \n
\n All files you, the operator, donât have access to must transfer\n
\n \n
\n All files that changed since the\n \n last\n \n time you transferred must transfer\n
\n \n
\n All use of\n \n local\n \n groups and users must transfer\n
\n \n
\n All data attributes, alternate data streams, encryption, compression, etc. must transfer\n
\n \n
\n All network addresses must transfer\n
\n \n
\n All forms of computer naming, alternate naming, and other network resolution must transfer\n
\n \n
\n Whew!\n
\n \n
\n \n If you were to wander into this\n \n Spiceworks\n \n data on market share (a little old but still reasonably valid), youâll see some lopsided ratios:\n \n
\n \n (\n \n source\n \n )\n \n \n A year and a half later, there are a few million Windows Server 2016 nodes in market that have squeezed this balloon, but thereâs even more Windows Server 2012 and still plenty of 2008 families, plus too much wretched, unsupported Windows Server 2003. Did you know that\n \n Windows Server 2008 Support ends in January of 2020\n \n ? Just 20 months away from the end of life for WS2008 and we still have all this 2003!\n \n
\n The Storage Migration Service (Updated: August 30, 2018)\n
\n \n \n \n Important: This section of the blog post is going to change periodically, as with the Windows Insider preview system and Windows Admin Centerâs preview extension system, I can give you new builds, features and bug fixes very rapidly. Youâll want to check back here often.\n \n \n \n \n In this first version, the feature copies over SMB (any version). Targets like Azure File Sync servers, IaaS VMs running in Azure or MAS, or traditional on-prem hardware and VMs are all valid targets.\n \n
\n \n
\n \n The feature consists of an orchestrator service and one or more proxy services deployed. Proxies add functionality and performance to the migration process, while the orchestrator manages the migration and stores all results in a database.\n \n \n Storage Migration Service operates in three distinct phases:\n \n \n \n
\n Inventory â an administrator selects nodes to migrate and the Storage Migration Service orchestrator node interrogates their storage, networking, security, SMB share settings, and data to migrate\n
\n \n
\n Transfer â the administrator creates pairings of source and destinations from that inventory list, then decides what data to transfer and performs one more or transfers\n
\n \n
\n Cutover â the administrator assigns the source networks to the destinations and the new servers take over the identity of the old servers. The old servers enter a maintenance state where they are unavailable to users and applications for later decommissioning, while the new servers use the subsumed identities to carry on all duties.\n
\n \n \n \n
\n Walk through\n
\n \n
\n Requirements\n
\n \n Youâll need the following to start evaluating this feature:\n \n
\n \n
\n At least two\n \n Windows Server 2019 Preview\n \n computers or VMs with the Storage Migration Service features installed (\n \n Build 17744 or later\n \n ). One will operate as the orchestrator and one as the destination of the migration.\n \n Note: it is supported to make the orchestrator and destination the same computer, such as in a small environment with a single server to migrate. A larger environment will usually have a single Orchestrator and many destinations, however, so that's how the steps are documented below.\n \n
\n \n \n \n Supported\n \n source\n \n operating systems VM or hardware (to migrate\n \n from)\n \n :\n \n \n

\n \n The features to install on the\n \n orchestrator node\n \n are:\n \n
\n \n
\n âStorage Migration Serviceâ\n
\n \n
\n âStorage Migration Service Proxyâ\n \n (installs automatically when orchestrator selected)\n \n

\n \n
\n âStorage Migration Service Proxyâ\n
\n \n
\n \n
\n Run your first test inventory and transfer\n
\n \n Now youâre ready to start migrating.\n \n \n \n
\n Logon to your\n \n Windows Admin Center\n \n instance and connect to the orchestrator node as an administrator.\n
\n \n \n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n 2. Ensure the latest Storage Migration Service extension is in the Tools menu (if not,\n \n install the extension\n \n ) and click it.\n
\n \n
\n 3. Observe the landing page. There is a summary that lists all active and completed jobs. Jobs contain one or more source computers to inventory, transfer, and cutover as part of a migration.\n
\n \n
\n 4. You are about to begin the\n \n Inventory.\n \n Click\n \n New Job\n \n . Enter a job name, click Next.\n
\n \n
\n 5. Enter\n \n Source Credentials\n \n that are an administrator on your source (to be migrated from) computers and click Next.\n
\n \n
\n 6. Click\n \n Add Device\n \n and add one or more source computers. These must be Windows Server and should contain SMB Shares with test data on them that you want to migrate.\n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n 7. Click\n \n Start Scan\n \n and wait for the inventory to complete.\n
\n \n
\n 8. Observe the results. You can open the\n \n Details\n \n at the bottom of the page with the caret in the lower right. When done reviewing, click\n \n Finish Inventory\n \n .\n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n 9. You are now in the\n \n Transfer\n \n You are always free to return to the Inventory phase and redefine what it gathers, get rid of the job, create a new job, or proceed forward to data transfer. As you can see, each phase operates in a similar fashion by providing credentials, setting rules, defining nodes, then running in a result screen.\n
\n \n
\n 10. Provide credentials, destination computers mapped to the source computers, ensure each server you wish to migrate is set to\n \n Included\n \n in transfer, review your settings,\n \n validate\n \n the proposed transfer, then proceed with\n \n Start Transfer\n \n .\n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n 11. Observe the migration. You will see data transfers occur in relative real time (periodically refreshed) as the orchestrator copies data between source and destination nodes. When complete, examine the destination server and youâll find that Storage Migration Service recreated all shares, folders, and files with matching security, attributes, characteristics (see Known Issues below for not-yet-released functionality here). . Note the\n \n Export\n \n options that allows you to save a complete database dump of the transfer operations for auditing purposes.\n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n 12. Move to the cutover phase.\n
\n \n
\n 13. Note that the destination credentials are preserved (but can be changed).\n
\n \n
\n 14. Pair the network interfaces between source and destination NICs so that IP addresses can be moved. You have the option to move the old source computer to DHCP or use a new static IP address. You also have the option to randomly rename the old source computer or specify a new name, as the destination will take over the old name as part of cutover.\n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n 15.\n \n Validate\n \n the cutover preparedness, then begin the cutover and allow the destination computer to take over the network and names of the old source.\n \n \n Both source and destination will reboot several times apiece.\n \n \n \n \n The progress bar will show how far until the operation completes.\n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n \n
\n Cutover time to completion depends on:\n
\n \n
\n a. Server reboot times\n
\n \n
\n b. AD Replication time (for domain joins and computer accounts being known to all users)\n
\n \n
\n c. DNS replication time\n
\n \n
\n 16. When cutover completes, migration is done. Your old servers are renamed and have new network configurations so that they are inaccessible to users and applications, but still retain all data and shares. The new servers now assume all duties of the computers they replaced, and users cannot tell that anything changed.\n

\n \n \n \n \n Hi Folks,\n \n Ned\n \n here again with big news:\n \n Windows Server 2019 Preview\n \n contains an entirely new feature!\n \n \n The\n \n Storage Migration Service\n \n helps you migrate servers and their data without reconfiguring applications or users.\n \n
\n \n
\n Migrates unstructured data from anywhere into Azure & modern Windows Servers\n
\n \n
\n Itâs fast, consistent, and scalable\n
\n \n
\n It takes care of complexity\n
\n \n
\n It provides an easily-learned graphical workflow\n
\n \n
\n \n My team has been working on this critter for some time and today youâll learn about what it can do now, what it will do at RTM, and what the future holds.\n \n \n Did I mention that it comes in both Standard and Datacenter editions and has a road map that includes SAN, NAS, and Linux source migrations?\n \n
\n \n
\n \n Come with meâŚ\n \n
\n Why did we make this?\n
\n \n You asked us to! No really, I dug through endless data, advisory support cases, surveys, and first party team conversations to find that our #1 issue keeping customers on older servers was simply that migration is hard, and we donât provide good tools. Think about what you need to get right if you want to replace an old file server with a new one, and not cause data loss, service interruption, or outright disaster:\n \n
\n \n
\n All data must transfer\n
\n \n
\n All shares and their configuration must transfer\n
\n \n
\n All share and file system security must transfer\n
\n \n
\n All in-use files must transfer\n
\n \n
\n All files you, the operator, donât have access to must transfer\n
\n \n
\n All files that changed since the\n \n last\n \n time you transferred must transfer\n
\n \n
\n All use of\n \n local\n \n groups and users must transfer\n
\n \n
\n All data attributes, alternate data streams, encryption, compression, etc. must transfer\n
\n \n
\n All network addresses must transfer\n
\n \n
\n All forms of computer naming, alternate naming, and other network resolution must transfer\n
\n \n
\n Whew!\n
\n \n
\n \n If you were to wander into this\n \n Spiceworks\n \n data on market share (a little old but still reasonably valid), youâll see some lopsided ratios:\n \n
\n \n (\n \n source\n \n )\n \n \n A year and a half later, there are a few million Windows Server 2016 nodes in market that have squeezed this balloon, but thereâs even more Windows Server 2012 and still plenty of 2008 families, plus too much wretched, unsupported Windows Server 2003. Did you know that\n \n Windows Server 2008 Support ends in January of 2020\n \n ? Just 20 months away from the end of life for WS2008 and we still have all this 2003!\n \n
\n The Storage Migration Service (Updated: August 30, 2018)\n
\n \n \n \n Important: This section of the blog post is going to change periodically, as with the Windows Insider preview system and Windows Admin Centerâs preview extension system, I can give you new builds, features and bug fixes very rapidly. Youâll want to check back here often.\n \n \n \n \n In this first version, the feature copies over SMB (any version). Targets like Azure File Sync servers, IaaS VMs running in Azure or MAS, or traditional on-prem hardware and VMs are all valid targets.\n \n
\n \n
\n \n The feature consists of an orchestrator service and one or more proxy services deployed. Proxies add functionality and performance to the migration process, while the orchestrator manages the migration and stores all results in a database.\n \n \n Storage Migration Service operates in three distinct phases:\n \n \n \n
\n Inventory â an administrator selects nodes to migrate and the Storage Migration Service orchestrator node interrogates their storage, networking, security, SMB share settings, and data to migrate\n
\n \n
\n Transfer â the administrator creates pairings of source and destinations from that inventory list, then decides what data to transfer and performs one more or transfers\n
\n \n
\n Cutover â the administrator assigns the source networks to the destinations and the new servers take over the identity of the old servers. The old servers enter a maintenance state where they are unavailable to users and applications for later decommissioning, while the new servers use the subsumed identities to carry on all duties.\n
\n \n \n \n
\n Walk through\n
\n \n
\n Requirements\n
\n \n Youâll need the following to start evaluating this feature:\n \n
\n \n
\n At least two\n \n Windows Server 2019 Preview\n \n computers or VMs with the Storage Migration Service features installed (\n \n Build 17744 or later\n \n ). One will operate as the orchestrator and one as the destination of the migration.\n \n Note: it is supported to make the orchestrator and destination the same computer, such as in a small environment with a single server to migrate. A larger environment will usually have a single Orchestrator and many destinations, however, so that's how the steps are documented below.\n \n
