E.1 Running the Migration Utility on a Windows
Vista device
If you migrate traditional ZENworks application objects as MSI files through the Migration Utility
running on a Windows Vista device, the performance might degrade. For improved performance,
run the Migration Utility on Windows XP SP2 or Windows XP SP3 device.
E.2 Selecting a Migration Option
Migration is based on the migration options configured through the Migration Utility. Before
migrating objects, scan through all the available migration options in order to select the most
suitable option for migration. For more information on the various migration options, see
Appendix B, "Migration Options," on page
E.3 Uploading Objects to the Content Server
While migrating applications that require the content to be uploaded to the content server, the
migration might fail. Ensure that the port specified in the File Upload Http Port option while
logging in to the migration destination zone matches the port configured while installing the
ZENworks Configuration Management server. For information on configuring the port while
installing the ZENworks Configuration Management server, see
