How to fix SPMT invalid site URL with Error Code 0x0201000F

Dean Wang 0

Using SharePoint Migration Tool (SPMT) currently available from our SPO site, migrating on-premise to online site, at some point of time, the tool halted and showing this error

Invalid site URL 'https://xxx.com/sites/xxx/xxx/AD00-01-2020-002' (ErrorCode: 0x0201000F)

closed SPMT and restarted migration, same error, checked the url in different browsers, I can confirm that the url is valid and the sp site is accessible with no issue.

what could be the issue?

Whether the invalid site URL is a SharePoint on-premises site collection or SharePoint online site collection?

If it is a SharePoint on-premises site collection, use the original site URL (http), not the AAM URL.

If it is a SharePoint online site, create a new site collection without "-" parament, then migrate data.

The invalid site url is in on-premise site, it actually is one of the multiple subsite url's of a given on-premise site collection. In the SPMT tool, i have control to use original url or AAM url of the given on-premise site collection, but not its subsite's url's, the tool will fetch them automatically, and because of the large number of subsites, i can't just to get them one by one manually, and then use the tool at the subsite level, i will have to let the tool handle them.

Did only one subsite occur this error?

we have multiple similar subsites, this is the first to be processed, so i would assume similar issues would be on other subsites. SPMT stopped working after it failed on the first subsite.

I got the same error message, Invalid site URL 'http://reports.xxxxxxx.x12.xx.us' (ErrorCode: 0x0201000F). Does SMT tool only validates .com, .net, .org, etc?
