Now click ‘Settings’ from the bottom left corner. Press ‘Add’ to add both the source and target servers. The Admin Center is web based to click the link to open it in a browser and press ‘Finish’. Install on the target server, accept the terms and press ‘Next’. This application is built to manage servers on your network and is required to manage the file migration service feature. Both servers are member servers in the same domain and both are domain joined from the start.įirst install all updates to the target server, keep rebooting and installing until its fully updated then install the ‘Windows Admin Center’ application. In this example we migrate an old 2012 member file server to a fresh 2019 installation. This is one of the longest guides I’ve written but hopefully it gives you a very in depth guide on how it works and how to migrate an example server to a new one. Whats also nice is that you can sync all of the data to azure storage in the background over several days or weeks and cut over to cloud hosted file services. All of their mapped drives and file and folder shortcuts will work as before.
The idea is to make migrating large file servers with complicated permission sets to new servers super easy and end users wont know anything has happened. This feature will sync all file shares to a new server, set the same permissions then when you are ready it will assume the old servers IP address and name. This feature allows you to easily migrate a file server, all of its file shares and folder permissions to new physical or virtual server. Starting from Windows server 2019 we see the introduction of the Windows server file migration service feature.
