DRAG DROP
Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain
contains a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2008 R2. Server1 is a file
server.
You deploy a new member server named Server2 that runs Windows Server 2012.
You plan to migrate file shares from Server1 to Server2. File share and NTFS permissions
are assigned only to domain local groups.
You need to identify which actions are required to perform the migration.
Which five actions should you identify?
To answer, move the five appropriate actions from the list of actions to the answer area and
arrange them in the correct order.
Answer:
Explanation:
Box 1: On Server2, install the Windows Server Migration Tools.
Box 2: On Server2, create a deployment folder.
Box 3: On Server1, register the Windows Server Migration Tools.
Box 4: On Server2, run the Receive-SmigServerDatacmdlet.
Box 5: On Server1, run the Send-SmigServerDatacmdlet.Note:
* Windows Server Migration Tools installation and preparation can be divided into the
following stages.
1.Installing Windows Server Migration Tools on destination servers that run Windows Server
2012.
2.Creating deployment folders on destination servers that run Windows Server 2012, for
copying to source servers.
3.Copying deployment folders from destination servers to source servers.
4.Registering Windows Server Migration Tools on source servers.
* Registering Windows Server Migration Tools on source computers
Before you can use a technology’s Windows PowerShell snap-in for the first time, it must be
registered with Windows PowerShell. You can use SmigDeploy.exe to register the Windows
Server Migration Tools snap-in on a migration source computer
* Send-SmigServerData
This cmdletmigrates folders, files, and associated permissions and share properties from the
local server to a target server. Send-SmigServerData must be run on the source server at
the same time that the Receive-SmigServerDatacmdlet is running on the destination server.
* Receive-SmigServerData
This cmdlet allows a target server to receive shares, folders, files, and associated
permissions and share properties that are migrated from a source server. ReceiveSmigServerData must be running on the destination server at the same time that the SendSmigServerDatacmdlet is running on the source server.
* File server or data migration can be achieved by migrating the data from the existing server
using tools such as Microsoft Robocopy and Microsoft File Server Migration Tool (FSMT), or
directly presenting the storage Logical Unit Number (LUNs) onto a new server.
* Windows Server Migration Tools is a feature that is available for installation on computers
that are running Windows Server 2008 R2 by using the Add Features Wizard in Server
Manager. Windows Server Migration Tools can be removed from Windows Server 2008 R2
by using the Remove Features Wizard.
To migrate roles, features, and other data by using Windows Server Migration Tools, you
must also deploy Windows Server Migration Tools on source servers from which you want to
migrate data. Windows Server Migration Tools is deployed on source servers by creating a
deployment folder on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2, and then copying
it to the pre-Windows Server 2008 R2 source computer operating systems shown in the
table in this topic.

Wrong!
The correct answer is: (confirmed by Tim Warner-Pluralsight)
Box 1: On Server2, install the Windows Server Migration Tools.
Box 2: On Server2, create a deployment folder.
Box 3: On Server1, register the Windows Server Migration Tools.
Box 4: On Server1, run the Send-SmigServerDatacmdlet.
Box 5: On Server2, run the Receive-SmigServerDatacmdlet.
Flip your 4 and 5. Receive has to be running on the destination at the time Send is running, so Receive must go first.
Answer confirmed. Receiver has to be running on the receiving server before send-smidatacmdlet is run on the sending server.
I have tested this on 2 Windows 2012R2 servers. It does not matter if you run Start or Receive first. As long as you start them within 5 minutes of one-another it will work.
