Set up Windows Agent
System requirements
Windows Agent supports the following SharePoint versions:- SharePoint 2013 or higher
| Number of cores | RAM | Disk space |
| 4 | 8 GB | 50GB |
For Windows machines that are running concurrent jobs, conservatively, it is recommended to run one job per 1.5 cores and 4 GB of RAM. In other words, an 8-core 16-GB machine can run 4 concurrent jobs, and an 8-core 32-GB machine can run 6 concurrent jobs.Larger jobs with more files or more complex permissions may require more than the minimum system requirements.
Download Windows Agent
- In Shuttle, click New Job and provide a unique name for the analysis or migration job.
- Select SharePointServer.
Register Windows Agent
- Install Windows Agent.
- In the pop-up window, provide the Agent Key you have copied before the installation and confirm. It may take some time to configure and register the Agent.
- Once the registration finishes, Windows Agent will appear as connected. You can now proceed with data analysis or migration.
Windows Agent must be able to connect to the Shuttle service and other Box services to correctly list and migrate data. This means that the network on which the Windows Agent is running must be configured to allow that traffic.
Set up connection with SharePoint
Once you have registered Windows Agent, click Next in the main Source System configuration window. At this point, provide the SharePoint Site URL:
domain\Username and leaving the SharePoint domain field blank works best. For other cases, the system will validate if you only added the Username, and then add the domain in the SharePoint domain field.
