(SPMT) migration of Windows file shares to SharePoint Online. Feed it a
consolidated migration-warnings.csv exported from SPMT assessment scan
logs and it repairs every item SPMT flagged as INVALID_SHAREPOINT_NAME
under the root you specify. It never scans the filesystem on its own, so
only items SPMT actually flagged are touched.
Temp/system files (Office lock files, desktop.ini, InDesign lock files) are
moved to a quarantine folder, preserving their relative folder structure,
rather than deleted. All other flagged items are renamed, replacing
characters SharePoint Online does not allow (" * : < > ? / \ |) with '-'.
Entries are processed deepest-path-first so a flagged folder is never
renamed before the flagged items inside it are handled. If a cleaned name
collides with an existing item, a numeric suffix is appended, e.g.
"report (2).txt". Quarantine moves never overwrite: an existing quarantined
file at the same relative path also gets a numeric suffix. Every attempted
change is recorded in a transaction log CSV (see -LogPath), giving an
audit trail and a manual undo path.
Quick start:
1. Run an SPMT assessment scan, export the scan logs, and consolidate
the INVALID_SHAREPOINT_NAME rows into migration-warnings.csv.
2. Preview: .\Repair-SharePointNames.ps1 -CsvPath .\migration-warnings.csv
-RootPath \\server\share\HR -QuarantinePath C:\SPMigration\Quarantine -WhatIf
3. Repair: the same command without -WhatIf, then re-run the SPMT scan
to confirm the warnings are gone.
