Windows Server Storage Migration Service Error 5 - Access Denied
Hello, I would like to use the Storage Migration Service in Windows Server for migrating my data and shares. I am using Windows Server 2022 (updated) as my source and destination servers, and have fulfilled all prerequisites (i.e. the migration user account is a member of local Administrator group on all servers including the orchestrator server). I am experiencing the exact issue describedherei.e I get Access Denied - Error 5 when copying folders/files where standard permissions are missing). According to article, "This issue is caused by a code defect in the Storage Migration Service where the backup privilege wasn't being invoked." As a solution, linked article suggest installing a patch (Windows Update April 2, 2019—KB4490481 (OS Build 17763.404) that is not applicable to Windows Server 2022 and I have already confirmed that the migration user is a member of Admins group on all servers. Is there a workaround solution, or is the SMS service still broken where it does not copy using "backup" privilege (equivalent of /b in robocopy)meaning that using the SMS service for migration of folders/files with non-standard permissions is unusable at the moment. I'm using the Storage Migration Service extension version 2.4.3 Thanks.
