SharePoint 2010 Migration Process

So hopefully you have done the research and prepared your 2007 for migration. Great! Lets get started.

A few things to note:

• 2010 CSS has totally changed, if you had 2007 custom branding cool, just need to take some extra time to work through it.
• 2010 large lists will error out, in your 2010 Central Administration set your Server Throttling options (this is a pretty rockin feature in my opinion, look for it in Exchange 2010 as well) this will allow your server to take a breather and catch up to handle requests.
• Custom code path changes from \12 to \14
• List views use XLS instead of CAML - cool right? I'm glad I spent all that time customizing lists with CAML.
• Remember JavaScript? Well...it's back! Bust out your books from 2000 and learn it.
• Recompile your custom code using the FeatureInstalled, Uninstalling, Activated and Deactivating methods.

Choose a Upgrade Path, what are your options?

• Inplace upgrade
• Build new 2010 farm and attach databases
