  1. Upgrade from SharePoint 2007 to 2010 – the theory Michael O’Donovan michodon@microsoft.com

  2. Resources • Microsoft SharePoint Upgrade Resource Center • http://msdn.microsoft.com/sharepoint/ee514557.aspx

  3. Agenda • Upgrade types • Before you upgrade • Potential issues • Validate upgrade

  4. Upgrade Types

  5. Upgrade Types • Un-supported • Upgrade from earlier than WSS v3 SP2/MOSS 2007 SP2 • Direct upgrade from WSS v2/SPS 2003 or earlier • Supported • In Place • Database Attach • Hybrid • Visual Upgrade • Option to keep 2007 UI for all supported scenarios

  6. Database Attach Steps • Set up and configure the new farm. Transfer customizations to the new farm and test the environment. • Detach the content database from the old farm and set the Content DB on old farm read-only. • Attach the content databases to the new farm and upgrade the content. • Start serving requests on the new farm at the “new” URL. • Try and keep same URL • Otherwise Outlook, favourites, etc etc break

  7. Attach DB • Attach DB • STSADM = addcontentdb • PowerShell = Mount-SPContentDatabase • Works on content db and ssp-userprofile db

  8. Hybrid Upgrade Steps • Build a new 2007 farm, with 2007 content db’s • Detach the content dbs. in this new farm • Upgrade in place (this will do all config too) • Do database attach (2007 database into 2010)

  9. Hybrid Upgrade Disadvantages • Farm settings and search index will be migrated in 2007 topology style • How to test Config DB, Central Admin DB, Search DB,…?

  10. Before you upgrade

  11. SharePoint Tools • Run Pre-upgrade checker tool on 2007 environment • Tools comes with from SharePoint 2007 / WSS 3.0 SP2 • Rules for tool found in CONFIG\PreUpgradeCheck\WssPreUpgradeCheck.xml • Errors explained - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/960577 • Run Test-SPContentDatabase using 2007 database in 2010 environment • Answers the question of “will the DB “work” in the 2010 farm?”

  12. PreUpgradeCheck • Stsadm –o preupgradecheck • Return 3 Files • Report as .htm file: • Operation runs successful and we get a .htm file • Logfile of PreUpgradeCheck -> Quality of the report • SSP2 didn‘t had a index assigned -> How the upgade process can react on this? SSP2 is not accessible? • XML

  13. Test-SPContentDatabase

  14. Know what you have • How many Content DBs? • Size of each DB? • How many site collection per Content DB? • Size of each site collection? • SPWebs & templates used • Webs that use custom site definitions / templates • Web that don’t have a template assigned • Orphaned webs • Customisations • Features, list definitions, web parts, event handlers • Admin level customisations, timer jobs, central admin customisations • 3rd party add-ins • Integration with other systems

  15. SPWeb Overview in SQL

  16. WebTemplates from MS

  17. Get SPWeb Overview in STSADM • Stsadm –o enumallwebs –dn <dbname> • Note: • enumAllWebs has some RuleChecks on SPWeb level against broken webs

  18. Pre-Validation Techniques • MS tools discussed previously • WinDiff over 12-Hive Folder • Compared with a OOB installation of MOSS • Find all custom files / customization • wssAnalyzeFeatures – from Stefan Gossner • Show if feature files are on the file system • SharePoint Farm Solution Extractor • Check all solutions in SP2010 • SQL Queries against Content DB • Export and Import Content • using STSADM –o export, and then re-import to see if errors are shown

  19. Other Potential Issues

  20. Collaboration Issues • Browser support change • ContentType template change: • .xls -> .xlsx • .doc ->.docx • .ppt -> .pptx • -> Office 2003 functions limited • Workaround: Office Compability Pack or change document templates

  21. List and Site Templates (stp files) • Find & check all ListTemplates & WebTemplates • .Stp inside site and list galleries dont migrate, so you need to manually solve this, also 2010 requires WSPs not stps

  22. List Items reference Features no longer around • This is an issue, even for items in recycle bin • On this note; a blog article from Jason Dicker • http://jasondicker.wordpress.com/2010/10/13/my-sharepoint-2010-upgrade-experiences/

  23. Custom Branding • Keep as 2007 UX or Visual Upgrade to 2010 UX • Themes • Will need to re-create for 2010 UX • Master Pages • Will need to re-create for 2010 UX

  24. How do we know it worked? How do you validate?

  25. Ideas? • Upgrade.log • Users check sites
