Great progress. I’ve migrated one instance already. I’d like to migrate again but only with a few selected databases. Is there a way to “include” instead of “exclude” databases being migrated?

This is so sweet @ christy , am wondering if i have to check any compatibility on this before migrating ? Am just a Newbie and this would be my first migration in prod in few weeks from now, i wanted to know .

Is there a way to mention data file and log file location while restoring it. When I try to run the command I get error related to permission. (not sure where its trying to store data and log files). Thanks

Hi Chrissy,
How’s everything going?
I tested Copy-DbaPolicyManagement on my Microsoft SQL Server 2017 (RTM-CU13) (KB4466404) – 14.0.3048.4 (X64) . It worked well with conditions migration, but not the policies.
Any thought for that?
Thanks,

Planning on using this for the first time in the coming days to migrate a failing 2-node multi-instance WFC from a datacenter in NY to a new 3-node WFC in PA. These are migrating from one old domain to a new one so there will be some challenges I’m sure, but given there is a two-way trust so things should go pretty smoothly. This is definitely a move the crystal event so I’m hoping Start-DbaMigration will be the time saver I have learned about.

Thank you for all you folks do for the SQL community!

hey tomy,
sorry, kerberos issues are out of scope. that’s a network/config issue unrelated to dbatools.

Hi! We plan on using this to migrate from 2008 to 2016 but We currently having some errors. Were just staring to learn this great dbatools and Were stuck on “WinRM cannot process the request with errorcode 0x8009030e occurred while using Kerberos authentication.

Big Thanks!

Yep! Most commands support `-SqlCredential` but this one is slightly different. Use `-DestinationSqlCredential`.
