What is the scope of this discussion?
To help you understand how to make the best decisions about
how to migrate your SharePoint 2003 environments to MOSS
2007 or WSS v3.
Copyright ©2007 Avanade
Overview of the migration options
• Three primary migration options
• In-place
• Software upgrade followed by immediate site upgrade
• Gradual
• 2003 and 2007 co-existence with individual site
collection migration
• Database
• Content Databases migrated individually to a new farm
and all sites in the DB are upgraded
Copyright ©2007 Avanade
In-Place Upgrade & Migration
Pros
Cons
Simplest Model
No rollback capability
Allows server upgrade and site
upgrade in one operation
Site URLs will remain unchanged
Not suitable for large deployments
or deployments over 30 GB
Site outage for duration of upgrade
Uses existing hardware and
databases
Copyright ©2007 Avanade
Gradual Migration
Pros
Cons
Enables granular site migration,
limits site downtime
Requires better change management
& communication planning
Allows for individual site rollback
Maintenance costs increase the
longer the co-existence period is
Sites can retain current URLs
Uses additional SQL storage and web
server load
Automatic site re-directs during the
coexistence period
Some issues with Office apps during
migration
Works well with large, customized
deployments
Copyright ©2007 Avanade
Database Migration (DB Attach)
Pros
Best approach when deploying a
new 2007 farm
Migrate large blocks of sites at a
time
Good for large deployments that
want the quickest upgrade path
Customers using scalable hosting
mode
Copyright ©2007 Avanade
Cons
The site URL may change and more
manual steps are required to keep
the same URLs
Manual re-directs may need to be
setup
Requires extra SQL storage during
migration
Less flexibility on which sites get
migrated when
Large Content DBs may need to be
restructured
Evaluating your current environment
• Your current environment and needs will drive
which migration option you chose
• Some questions to ask:
• Topology
• Do you have multiple farms?
• How many servers are in your 2003 farm(s)?
• Do you intend to consolidate farms or add farms during
migration?
• How many content DBs do you have? How big are they?
• How well does your current hardware support your needs?
Copyright ©2007 Avanade
Evaluating your current environment
• User Base & Corpus
• How many site collections and sites do you have?
• How many users are using 2003? What percentage of
your users are on 2003?
• Customization
• How much is your look and feel customized?
• Do you have custom site definitions?
• Do you have custom Web Parts, Event Handlers, or 3rd
party components?
• How much “ghosting” do you have?
Copyright ©2007 Avanade
Evaluating your current environment
• Service Levels
• What are the published SLAs for your SharePoint
environment?
• Are there groups that have SharePoint “apps” that are
critical or heavily used?
Copyright ©2007 Avanade
Selecting the right migration approach
• Case Study
• Large global company
• Operations in US, EU, and APAC
• Multiple Farms
• Some heavy customization, some vanilla

Migration Approaches
• Highly Custom SPS 2003 Intranet
• Re-build
• Large US Team Site Farm
• Gradual
• Very Large Content Mgmt Sites
• Database Attach
• Large EU Team Site Farm
• Move Content DBs + Gradual
• Small AP Team Site Farm
• In-place

Other Migration Considerations
• SPS 2003 Shared Services Upgrades
• Gradual requires double indexing space
• WSS v2 > MOSS
• Upgrade to WSS v3 then MOSS
• STS & SPS 2001
• Both require a double upgrade
Copyright ©2007 Avanade
Other Migration Considerations
• Hybrid migration approaches
• Build a new farm, but still do gradual
• New farm has v2 + v3
• Use stsadm to move the site to the new
farm
• Then do gradual
• May be useful for testing/piloting
Copyright ©2007 Avanade
Getting Ready to Migrate
• Run Prescan.exe tool
• Software Updates & Pre-reqs
• Win2k3 SP2, WSS/SPS SP2, .NET 3.0
• Language Packs!
• Perform Backups
• Develop communication plan
• Determine your “ghosting” approach
• Deploy upgraded custom components
• Site definitions & Web Parts
• Consider how your v2 components map to v3

Change Management and Impact to Users
• In-place & DB Attach
• Users are going to move all at once or in bulk.
Need to have well established schedule and
communications.
• Gradual
• Lots of coordination
• Be prepared to have changes to your schedule
that are driven by users
• Ensure that temporary domains are created
• Testing and piloting is critical for either approach
Copyright ©2007 Avanade
Communication Plan
• Identify and review site ownerships
• Site Owners
• Communicate to site owners at least 3-4 weeks out
• Provide a schedule
• Give them a few highlights of how the site will
improve
• Brown bag sessions/web casts
Copyright ©2007 Avanade
Communication Plan
• End Users
• Communicate to end users about 2-3 weeks out
• Provide them with an FAQ
• Migrating
•
•
•
•
•
Send a reminder notice a day or two before migration
Send a post migration results email
Ensure the users have any documentation
Vignettes are a nice way to provide training
Co-existence can’t go on forever!
