SharePoint Migrations and Upgrades · Chandima Kulathilake

A few people have asked me how to approach migrations and upgrades for previous versions of SharePoint.

If you are planning to migrate or upgrade the options available to you for various versions of SharePoint are as follows.

Previously I have blogged about planning your migration and upgrade and also notes from one of the early upgrade and migration projects I was involved in.

And remember PRESCAN is a must and in my opinion don’t ever attempt to do in place upgrades. If you read my above posts you’ll know why.

If you are just starting to plan then here are some must read resources to help you plan.
