Hi,
Does anybody know how long it normally takes for the Migration assistant to complete as I started it last nuight an dit immediately went to 100% but has been sitting there for 11+ hours. I ran the Automatic migration and renamed the policies b ut it just doesnt seem to want to complete for some reason. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
Oh wow. Adaptive mode should not be left enabled for more than a week and it should only be enabled on a couple of test machines. So likely that the database is incredibly full. I would condiser not migrating those HIPS rules/ policies as they are probably causing the issue.
Especially for the firewall part I would consider starting from scratch. ENSFW has it's own adaptive mode which you can enable. If you decide to do this, please consider only enabling it on a few machines and only for a limited amount of time so that you can go in and configure the rules you want and need. Your current HIPS installation won't be blocking anything at the moment either, so you have a product deployed which is using system resources and isn't providing you with any further proctection.
If you have a lot of VSE policy items you'd like to keep, try isolating those using the manual migration and just migrating those. Any migrated policies should be reviewed anyway just to check you still want certain configuration in place.
Shouldn't take nearly that long but depends really on the size and complexity of your policies.
Do you see any migrated policies?
If you look at the server task log and drill down into the details, do you see what it's stuck on?
Hi,
I would say we don't have a large group of policies. From memory it only analysed around 200 when starting the assistant and came out with about 40 that I had to rename during the process.
I cannot see any Endpoint Security Policies being created in the catalog so seems like it has not even started with this.
The task log itself just shows 'Started: Migrate to Endpoint Security' at 21:34 last night and nothing else.
Thanks
OK - above that task in the server task log - do you see any entries such as Policy "Merged Policy" (Endpoint Security) with the Source "Policy Catalog?
Did you select automatic or manual migration? If manual, what did you select (just policies,...)
>> based on your last response just now, I assume an automatic one!
Which version of the Migration Assistant and ePO are you using? If not the latest Migration Assistant, I would suggest trying the latest.
Ultimatley the orion.log of your ePO server, will show you what is going on. It may also be worth giving support a call so we can assist you on a remote. The task should run through fairly swiftly - definitly not almost 24h. I'm not aware of any known issues so could be a number of things.

@peterhardy Glad to hear that it worked out!
I am running into this problem while using the Endpoint Migration Assistant to migrate policies and when its next to the last policy, before the Summary tab, the Next Option is greyed out. So I am sitting here waiting to see if it will complete. Is that what you meant when you mentioned 10mins? Or overall migration was 10mins.
