smat

The smat tag covers Microsoft’s SharePoint Migration Assessment Tool and guidance for organizations planning its retirement. Current coverage focuses on the announced end of support on October 1, 2026, including whether administrators should capture a final SMAT baseline when existing migration runbooks rely on configurable farm discovery. It also explains the recommended transition to SharePoint Migration Tool (SPMT) 4.0 or later, whose scan capability is Microsoft’s supported path for assessing SharePoint Server sites before migration. Organizations without meaningful SMAT history may be better served by moving directly to SPMT rather than adding a temporary assessment step.
