Ok, I just treid to do something that I didn't really think would work, but now that I've seen it fail, I get to ask the question. Is there a best practice on converting site templates built for MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010. We have several projects that used the Visual Studio Extensions (v1.3) and the SharePoint Solution Generator to build custom site templates and the .wsp packages. I can add and deploy the solution packages using the STSADM tool, but when I try to create a sub-site based on that template, I get an Object Not Set to an Oject Reference Error. In case anyone is wondering, it works fine in MOSS 2007. I have not tried Visual Studio 2010 yet (it's downloading in the background). I'm just wondering if anyone has run into this and what they did to fix it. TIA, John.

I know we need Visual Studio 2005/2008 extensions for WSS 3.0/MOSS 2007.  If we upgrate to Visual Studio 2010, do we still need to install a Visual Stidio 2010 extenstion for MOSS 2007?  For MOSS2010?

Hi all, My end goal is to display a list in SharePoint2010 .... but the list actually originates from SharePoint2007. I thought it could be as easy as creating BCS to the SP2007 list web service (/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx) but BCS has issues with the complex data types and based on other threads this isn't possible.  We've been able to create a data source to the web service and display the list contents on a custom aspx page, but this isn't exactly our end goal. Is there a best practice for this type of thing?  Or do we have to go down the path of creating a custom web part while consuming the web service directly or the SOAP data source we've created?+ Note: Migration is not an option at this point... integration is our current path. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Eric

Hi. I have SharePoint 2010 Enterprise based Intranet solution. We are publishing office 2007 documents to various document libraries there. When uploading documents normally to the document library, I can enter managed metadata to the documents which are later sorted and filtered by this metadata. But how can I enter metadata at the point where I'm publishing the document(Publish->Document Management Server)? I can get the document management pane to show my metadata -column in word as a textbox after the document is published, but the textbox is colored grey and says that I should modify that data on the server i.e. from sharepoint.

Hi, Actually right now there is Newform.aspx of the list in MOSS 2007 through which we are collecting the data from the user.Now our customer is planning to migrate the application to SharePoint 2010 so i just want to know so that can we get a easy support to implement in InfoPath 2010 compared to the list of MOSS 2007 Thanks & Regards, Sudheer

Hello experts I have tried without success to do an inplace upgarde of a moss 2007 installation that I would consider very basic. The upgrade process itself seems fine but after you finish the configuration wizard and it attempts to go to the upgrade status page you get The provider 'CurrentNavigation' specified for the defaultProvider does not exist in the providers collection. (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\39291\web.config line 385) When i check the upgrade errors logs im getting the following [OWSTIMER] [SPSiteWssSequence2] [INFO] [8/9/2010 2:18:36 PM]: SPSite Url=http://ehbmossserver/mysite [OWSTIMER] [SPSiteWssSequence2] [ERROR] [8/9/2010 2:18:36 PM]: Feature upgrade failed for Feature 'PremiumSite' (Id: '8581a8a7-cf16-4770-ac54-260265ddb0b2') in Site 'http://ehbmossserver/mysite'.

I recently did an upgrade at a customer site. I migrated their content successfully as well as their Mysites. Their MOSS farm was situated on a domain, let's say "domain 1". Due to a merger, their domain had to change to "Domain 2". The Sharepoint 2010  farm was set up on new domain. We now need to change the existing user logins from the upgraded content db to the new domain. domain1\user to Doamin2\user.  We considered a manual process, but it is simply not a viable option. Furthermore, the migrated mysites works fine, but the problem is, the users need to login with their old login details to view the content. Which is unacceptable. The mysite content now needs to be associated with the users on the new domain. Bear in mind that the users already have logins and permissions as per the previous configuration (domain1\user) I consideredd using the stsadm migrate user command, but that could also be laborious. The other concern is the SID associated to each login. I am not sure if the -ignoresidhistory switch will help, or if this command is even usable in SP 2010. I there possibly another, more effective method to accomplish these tasks, say a Powershell script or a magic wand?   Regards,   Warren  

Hello, I want to consolidate some server by using both SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010 to use the same SQL 2008 R2 cluster. Is there any technical reason that should prevent to have both application to share same SQL server using different sql DB? Thanks

I have a client who setup MOSS 2007 Trial and are coming up on the expiration.  Instead of buying a key for MOSS 2007 they purchased Sharepoint 2010.  I'm having some problems upgrading because its the trial.  What are my options for upgrading/migrating over to Sharepoitn 2010?

There's some guidance circulating about upgrading to 2010 with a mix of In-Place and Database Attach upgrade methods. My Central Admin and SharePoint Web App are on a 64 bit server, but it's running on Windows server 2003 x64 and not on Windows Server 2008 or 2008 R2. SharePoint Team Blog says Server 2008 or 2008 R2 is required for SP2010. If I want to do the hybrid upgrade approach, is it possible to first upgrade the OS to Server 2008 R2 on the server where my Central Admin and SP Web App runs?  Or will this break MOSS 2007?

Hello, I would like to know what can i use to sync a sharepoint 2010 table to a sharepoint 2007 table? Also could this be done by pulling the webservice for sharepoint 2007 site?

Can we install both moss 2007  and moss 2010 on windows 7 ultimate(x64) ? if yes, please let me know the procedure. I am a beginner and hence i would try the trial version provided by microsoft.

Hi All,

I am kiran and working on some migration project.

I am stuck with some basic questions,

 

1. I have got couple of hudred WSS 3.0 sites

2. I have got couple of hundred MOSS 2007 Enterrprise sites

I need to migrate both the above to SharePoint Server 2010 platform.

My Question is,

 

1. Can I directly migrate WSS 3.0 sites to SharePoint 2010 env? Is there any need to step up to MOSS 2007 and then to SharePoint 2010? Becuase all documentations talk about migrating MOSS 2007 to SS 2010.

Your help is appreiciated.

Also can you link me to some sound help links please?

 

Thanks,Kiran
