SharePoint 2007 Profile Sync Errors

My client recently migrated their SharePoint 2007 SharePoint farm into the cloud.  Their User Profile Imports were failing for all domains with this error:

spsimport://[Domain Name]
Exception from HRESULT: 0x8004400D (The attempt to discover directory
server for domain ([Domain Name]) was failed with error (0x8004400c).
Please make sure whether there is problem in network connectivity or
the domain is renamed. )

 It turned out that there was a port filtering configuration between the VLANS in the virtual server environment.  Opening the ports was tricky due to Dynamic RPC.  

 The ports required were TCP 445, TCP/UDP 389, TCP/UDP 88, TCP 135, TCP 139, TCP 65000, and UDP 53

Robocopy Error 31 A device attached to the system is not functioning

I was migrating Windows file shares to NetApp CIFS shares using Robocopy. I was unable to copy owner information or NTFS Security (/COPY:DATSOU) without getting this Error: ERROR 31 (0x0000001F) Copying NTFS Security to Destination Directory F:\PATH A device attached to the system is not functioning. I thought it may be the zone information on may of these files. I used the Sysintenals Streams utility to remove that information. It did not help. In the end, I was forced to copy without NTFS information (/COPY:DATU) When I viewed the properties of any share, folder, or file, the length of time to enumerate and display the permissions was exceedingly slow. I tried disabling anti-virus, etc. In the end, I had to manually re-create the permissions after the initial data copy. File ownership information was lost. UPDATE: I ran a CHKDSK /F and following a reboot this robocopy functioned fine.

"The following factors also affect the level of access for" user with excess permissions

Image
I have a user that had access to site settings, all content, etc. I double checked her access and it was read only but the permissions check tool showed a panel beneath the site permissions that showed Allow for many categories. She had full control. "The following factors also affect the level of access for" She was added as a Site Collection Administrator. I don't know who would have added her there, but someone had. If you find this type of issue, that should be the first thing you check. You can also check the Web Application User Policy in Central Admin. That's the other area I find people or groups with elevated permissions.

Unknown server tag 'AdminControls:MigrationToolPromotionTip'. in Central Admin after installing SharePoint 2013 security update KB4482464

I installed KB4482464 on my sandbox server without issue so I moved to my development farm. Following the patch, Central Admin (CA) had an error: Unknown server tag 'AdminControls:MigrationToolPromotionTip'. I noticed that the sandbox environment CA had this banner: You can now use the SharePoint Migration Tool to migrate to OneDrive and SharePoint Online. It looks like that failed in the Dev farm. The Configuration Wizard GUI failed to successfully run. Solution: I ran PSCONFIG with these options on my primary APP server: psconfig.exe -cmd helpcollections -installall -cmd secureresources -cmd services -install -cmd installfeatures -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -wait I ran PSCONFIG with these options on my remaining app, search and WFE servers: psconfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force I will exclude this update from my deployment on SCCM and run it manually.
