Description

This library pack is a solution that provides IT teams insights into the migration of employee personal work files stored inside traditional file servers towards a OneDrive for business solution.From the dashboards included in this pack, IT teams can better plan, manage and execute a migration to OneDrive by breaking up the migration into manageable waves and proactively identifying issues that could negatively affect a migration.This library pack will help you monitor the following aspects of your migration.

  • Employee migration status (migrated, not migrated, or failed)
  • Migration wave progress
  • Employee solution sentiment before and after migration
  • Employee file share traffic
  • OneDrive migration blockers

This pack requires the Digital Experience Score content pack, please make sure to have it installed in your environment beforehand.'

Test OneDrive Files Path and Syntax

Script Description

Tests if the files meet all the OneDrive specifications (size, name, path length, etc..) so a migration won't have any conflicts.

Execution context and suggested scheduling

Run the script as 'interactive user'. The script should be executed manually.

A timeout of 10020 seconds is recommended.

Parameters

Label Description
Migration Path Full path of the folder to be checked
Maximum Delay In Seconds Maximum random delay set to avoid overloading server hosting virtual machines. Provide number of seconds less than 600

Outputs

Label Type Description
Migration Readiness Bool If provided input migration path is ready for OneDrive
Invalid Characters Int Number of detected files with invalid characters in name
Invalid Names Int Number of detected files/folders with invalid names
Invalid Path Lengths Int Number of files/folders with path longer than accepted
Reparse Points Int Number of detected folders as symbolic links or junction points
Invalid Sizes Int Number of detected files with greater size than allowed
One Note Files Int Number of detected one note files

Further Information

Depending on the input path, this script can have a significant performance impact. Use on small folder structures only!
Parameter 'MaximumDelayInSeconds' can be used to add random script execution delay. It should be used in virtualized environments to spread over time number of I/O requests on server hosting virtual machines.
Script uses all available CPU on Windows 7 and approximately 15% CPU on Windows 10.

Test Scenarios

PathContainsCorrectFiles
Test Case The path provided contains a number of files that are compatible for the migration.
Environment VM Windows 7 x64 (Multi-language) - VM Windows 10 x86/x64 (Multi-language) (1803/1809/1903)
Results Success - The files are analyzed and all the files were found compatible so the MigrationReadiness is set to True.
PathContainsIncorrectFiles
Test Case The path provided contains a number of files and some of them are not compatible.
Environment VM Windows 7 x64 (Multi-language) - VM Windows 10 x86/x64 (Multi-language) (1803/1809/1903)
Results Success - The files are analyzed and some of the fields have an output different from zero indicating that there are some files not compatible with the migration.
