While connecting with the SharePoint site, there was an error 401, and the connection was declined. How can I overcome such an error?

You may encounter such an error when the Administrator account does not have role assignments to access the user sites. You can run cmdlets to assign such roles in the SharePoint Online management shell. Here’s how to do this:

Download the SharePoint Online Management Shell tool from the following URL- https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=35588
Basic Authentication - when you connect using the Basic Authentication option (through user ID and password), then run the new cmdlet-

Connect-SPOService -Url https://contoso-admin.sharepoint.com -credential admin@contoso.com

Modern Authentication - when connecting with Modern Authentication, execute this new cmdlet:

Connect-SPOService -Url https://contoso-admin.sharepoint.com

A new wizard will pop up, asking for the credentials of the Office 365 Administrator account. Enter the necessary credentials.
Run the second cmdlet:
Set-SPOTenant -DisableCustomAppAuthentication $false

After executing the command, wait for at least 5 minutes to save the changes. After that, you can connect with your SharePoint account, and there will be no error 401.

How to add Office 365 SharePoint site in the destination pane?

How do I fix the error "(404) Unauthorized" while adding the SharePoint server?

If you encounter this error message, it indicates that the login credentials you used are incorrect. Verify the credentials and try entering the correct username and password to resolve this issue.

How can I resolve the error message "Cannot contact the site at the specified URL https://sharepointxyz/xyz due to the current state of the objects"?

This error is commonly noticed when there's a disruption in the connection between the SharePoint server and its linked SQL Server. To resolve this issue, establish a stable connection between the SharePoint server and SQL Server. Additionally, verify that the respective SQL Server and its services are operational.

When I run SharePoint migration, it shows an error “Source Workflow template is not present at the destination.” What to do?

This issue may be because you don't have the same template in the destination as in the source. You will need to contact the site administrator to publish or activate the template. For more details, see: https://www.nucleustechnologies.com/sharepoint-migration/documentation/work-flow-template-not-present-in-destination.pdf

I have only selected documents from the site and moved ahead. But now I want to add some other parts also. How can I do it?

Once you've chosen contents from the site for SharePoint tenant to tenant migration, utilize the "Edit Source Selection" option in the subsequent wizard to include additional data for migration.

Should I overwrite the list or migrate it as new if I want to move list from one SharePoint site to another separately?

When migrating as new, the list will have a suffix for easy identification. On the other hand, if you choose to overwrite, it will first delete the earlier list or library with the same name and then create a new one.

What information is needed when migrating the site as new?

When opting to migrate the site as new, the SharePoint Migrator tool will require the Destination Central Administrator URL, the username, and the password of the Central Administrator.

Excellent option for the migration

Before migration, I also benefit from per-migration analysis. To ensure that the process is result-oriented and obstacles are avoided. The filter option it has is also very good.
