April 6, 2011 Leave a Comment
We’ve finally got a SharePoint Saturday coming to St. Louis. I have submitted a session to present on Upgrading and Migrating to SharePoint 2010. I’m still working on the presentation, but here are some major points I’d like to cover.
- Preparing to upgrade (hardware, software, pre-upgrade checker)
- Pre-upgrade checker in depth, what it provides
- OOB upgrade\migration approaches from SharePoint 2007
- A quick demo of a database attach upgrade and the status pages in Central Admin
- Some potential issues (customizations, 3rd party software, Fab 40 templates)
- How to get around these issues
- Some other content migration approaches – 3rd party tools
- Feature comparison of Metavis, Metalogix, and Axceler’s migration tools
I hope to include as much information as possible from my experiences in SharePoint consulting and SharePoint hosting. If you have any ideas on additional content I would love to hear them! This is a work in progress.
If you live in or around the St. Louis area and you would like to network and learn more about SharePoint, please join me for SPSSTL Saturday April 30th, 2011 at the Washington University campus. I hope to see you there!
