The document discusses the Microsoft SharePoint Migration Tool. It begins with introductions of the speakers and an overview of what will be covered, including an introduction to the tool, a demo of how it works, and a comparison to other third party options. Key points discussed include that the tool helps migrate SharePoint on-premises content to SharePoint Online or OneDrive for Business in Office 365. It supports migration from SharePoint 2013 on-premises versions and file shares. The tool works by packaging content into an encrypted package that is uploaded to Azure storage.

What we would be demoing today ?

14. What happens behind the scenes?
AUTHENTICATION
User Authentication to SPM
Tool
SCANNING
Verifies whether there is
access to the data source
and write access to the
SharePoint Online
destination
PACKAGING
A content package is created
that contains a manifest
consisting of 8 XMLs.
UPLOADING
Content package is
uploaded to Azure with the
manifest. Data is encrypted
at rest using the AES CBC
256 standard
SESSION AND RESUME
The SPMT tool will save some
information in the users hidden
list on their my site which will be
used later when the tool is
reopened to resume the
previous migration session
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointmigration/how-the-
sharepoint-migration-tool-works

15. During the upload and import phases, data is encrypted and Azure
containers and keys are generated.
Note :
No one has direct access to the storage accounts or the containers. The
SharePoint Online service has access to the storage accounts and a select
number of engineers can run maintenance commands against them, but they
do not have direct access to the accounts. Datacentre technicians are not
prepped with knowledge of how data is laid out on disk, and do not have
ready access to equipment to mount disks. All drives are physically destroyed
before leaving the datacentre. Physical security is also in place across all of our
datacentres.
Encryption and Security:

16. What happens to the permissions on a file when it is
migrated?
Scenario File Share SharePoint on-prem files
User mapped between on-premises and
SPO (either DirSync has been run or a user
mapping file provided)
There are only two types of permissions
that will be migrated: Read and Write.
If a file has Write permission for user1,
then the file will be set to Contribute for
user1 in SPO. If a file has Read permission
for user1, then the file will be set
to Read for user1 in SPO.
Note: At this time, the special permissions,
such as Deny, will not be saved.
All the unique permissions on a file will be
migrated to SPO. Inherited permissions will
not be migrated.
No user mapping (not synced, no user
mapping file)
Files will be assigned the default
permission of the location to which it has
been migrated in SPO
Files will be assigned the default
permission of the location to which it has
been migrated in SPO.
