When inventorying or transferring files from source to destination computers, files from which a user has removed permissions for the Administrators group fail to migrate. Examining the Storage Migration Service-Proxy debug shows:
This issue is caused by a missing API in older versions of Windows Server. Currently there's no way to migrate Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2003 clusters. You can perform inventory and transfer without issue on Windows Server 2008 R2 clusters, then manually perform cutover by manually changing the cluster's source file server resource netname and IP address, then changing the destination cluster netname and IP address to match the original source.
While inventorying a source server, you find the file inventory taking a long time when there are many files or nested folders. Millions of files and folders may lead to inventories taking many hours even on fast storage configurations.
When attempting to run inventory or transfer with the Storage Migration Service and targeting a Windows Server while using migration credentials from a different domain than the targeted server, you receive the following errors

By design, Windows didn't let you set the legacy NetBIOS name to be set this long and warned when the server was named that the NetBIOS name would be truncated to 15 unicode wide characters (example: "iamaverylongcom"). When you attempt to inventory this computer, you receive in Windows Admin Center and the event log:
