Migrating Sharepoint 2007 Site To Sharepoint 2010

Aug 9 2012 2:48 PM

This post will show Migration of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 to Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2010.

Note:For this process you should have at least Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 SP2 installed on the system and  MOSS 2007 October 2009 Cummulative Updates needs to be installed where your SharePoint 2007 site exists.

After Installing SharePoint Server SP2 and Updates successfully, your  Central Administration should show now the new version number as shown

.

Migration involves only few simple steps.

Migration Steps:

1. Go to Sql Server where SharePoint 2007 server is installed and Find the Content DataBase of the Source site and take the backup and move the .bak file to the Server Where SharePoint server 2010 is installed.

2. Restore the Backup file in Sql Server where Sharepoint Server 2010 is installed.

3. Create a New WebApplication  in SharePoint Server 2010.

4. Now in Central Administration of  SP2010 under Manage Content Databases remove the ContentDatase of newly created web application.

5. Go to SharePoint 2010 Management Shell and add the new content database(that we have restored in step2) to this newly created application  by using this syntax.

New-SPContentDatabase -Name <ContentDbName> -WebApplication <WebApplicationName>

or you can use stsadm tool for adding content db  by using this syntax.

stsadm.exe -o addcontentdb -url <url> -databasename <database name>

Note: You may get some errors and warnings which are placed in logs that you need to review.

6. After successful addition of restored database to the newly created web application, once restart IIS.

Now you should have SharePoint 2007 Site Running on SharePoint 2010 Server.

Now,  you have to perform a Visual Upgrade, so locate the menu

as shown here

Choose a preview or a definitive visual  upgrade

Anyway, start enjoying the new UI of SharePoint 2010 by editing the home page and changing a label…
