Planning to Monitor Migration Activity in Configuration Manager 2012

Updated: May 1, 2011

Applies To: System Center Configuration Manager 2012

In the Configuration Manager console, in the Administration workspace on the Migration node, you can monitor the progress and success of Configuration Manager 2012 migration actions . View summary information for each migration job that identifies objects that have migrated, those that have not yet migrated, and the number of objects that are excluded from migration. You will also see details about any migration problems.

To view the progress of object migration for a migration job, select a migration job, and then select the Objects in Job tab.

You can also use the Configuration Manager log files to review the migration progress or to identify any problems. Migration Manager is the Configuration Manager 2012 process that tracks migration actions and records these in the migmctrl.log file in the <InstallationPath>\LOGS folder on the site server.

noteNote
If a migration job fails, review the details in the migmctrl.log file as soon as possible. The migration log entries are continually added to the file and overwrite old details. If the entries are overwritten, you might not be able to identify whether any problems that you might encounter with the migrated objects relate to migration issues.
