Why each option
To migrate files and their associated share configurations from older Windows file servers to newer ones, the Storage Migration Service is the recommended tool.
Storage Migration Service, part of Windows Server, is designed to simplify the migration of files, shares, and their configurations from legacy file servers to newer Windows Server versions or Azure. It automates the transfer of data, security permissions, and network share settings.
The Microsoft File Server Migration Toolkit is an outdated tool, largely superseded by modern migration services like Storage Migration Service.
File Server Resource Manager (FSRM) is used for managing storage on file servers (e.g., quotas, file screens, classification) and is not a migration tool.
Windows Server Migration Tools provide a framework for migrating roles and features, but Storage Migration Service is specifically tailored and more comprehensive for file server migrations.
