Scope of Migration Project
04/19/23 Page 10MOSS Upgrade
![Page 11: 8/16/2015Page 1MOSS Upgrade MOSS 2007 Migration Terry Yarnall Manager, Desktop Solutions, Global Infrastructure BETT.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94ab04aa/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Project Approach
• Establish baseline familiarity with the product – IT Lab
• Determine, recommend, and build architecture
• Use QA as primary proving ground for Production
• Implement and deploy 2007 search early to replace SPS 2003 search
• Test and hone “gradual upgrade” process through repeated trials
• Migrate portals to MOSS using gradual upgrade process, running 2003 and 2007 in parallel
• Decommission 2003
• Migrate Extranet environment

Key Challenges
• Early search deployment– Use redirected MOSS 2007 search in SPS 2003
• Effective and efficient migration processes– SPS broken links; unghosted pages; minimize redesign
– Many customized Areas and Sites
• Minimize portal/site collection unavailability
• User education

Key Challenges
• Mapping customizations is very time consuming
• Early on there was a lack of good documentation – getting better!
• Availability of knowledgeable resources at MS to answer questions– Also getting better!!
• Requires a lot of testing and practice runs

• Key new features make the crawls faster (fresher content)
• Continuous propagation
• Crawl log viewer– Item level details – view by host name,
content source, dates, and messages
• Ability to pre-test crawl rules
• Change log crawl / Security-only crawl
• Ability to remove single item from index
Maximum scale is 10’s of Millions of documents per indexer
New Features For Managing Crawls
04/19/23 Page 21MOSS Upgrade
![Page 22: 8/16/2015Page 1MOSS Upgrade MOSS 2007 Migration Terry Yarnall Manager, Desktop Solutions, Global Infrastructure BETT.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94ab04aa/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Things to consider
• One Index server may not be enough
• Still need to use the v2 indexer to receive alerts
• Need to redirect SPS2003 search to use MOSS search
• Need updated ifilters for MOSS
• Scheduling crawls is more challenging – double indexing
• May create other migration challenges
04/19/23MOSS Upgrade Page 22

• A Shared Service Provider (SSP) is a grouping of shared services and related shared resources.
• An SSP is created and configured to host shared services by a farm administrator so the services are available to multiple portal sites within a farm.
• The farm administrator then assigns an SSP to a portal site.
• A farm can contain multiple SSP’s, but a portal site can only be associated with one SSP.
• An SSP can only have one instance of a particular shared service.
Search as a Shared Service

• A content source is a collection of start addresses representing content that should be crawled by the search index component.
• Enterprise Search provides several types of content sources by default:– SharePoint content– Web content– File share content– Exchange folder content– Business data content– Lotus Notes - Lotus Notes protocol handler is not installed by default
Content Sources

• Dramatically improved relevance is the top goal of this release
• New ingredients added, including▫ Click Distance▫ Anchor Text▫ URL Depth ▫ Missing Metadata Creation
• Result is noticeably improved relevant search results▫ 100% better on all queries▫ 500% better on common queries
Relevancy Improvements
04/19/23 Page 25MOSS Upgrade
![Page 26: 8/16/2015Page 1MOSS Upgrade MOSS 2007 Migration Terry Yarnall Manager, Desktop Solutions, Global Infrastructure BETT.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94ab04aa/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• Know your environment
– Use dedicated web front ends for crawling large farms/sites
– Define Crawler Impact Rules to avoid site overload
– Schedule for off-hours crawling where appropriate
• Consider using single content access account per region
– SharePoint 2007 requires full read permissions
– Non-Farm admin account otherwise the crawl may include not published documents
• Pause indexes if you need to temporarily halt crawling – stopping an index starts a full update

Thesaurus
• Unisys did not use the thesaurus in v2
• Search results improve by using: synonyms, replacements, weighting
• Once you understand the rules the thesaurus is straightforward
• Thesaurus XML files will error in your browser (when the comments are removed)
• The Rules:
– Never touch the tsschema.xml file !!
– Update the U.S. English file (tsenu.xml) and the neutral file (tsneu.xml)
– Be sure to save the XML files with the encoding type of UNICODE. Use Notepad
– Syntax is critical in XML
– Watch out for special characters especially “hyphens”
– Create batch files to copy the thesaurus files to their destination
– The files reside in a number of directories in the 12 hive. Update them all!!
– Cycle the “Office SharePoint Server Search” service after updating the files
– Check the application log for errors

Clean-up Campaign
04/19/23MOSS Upgrade Page 30
• Before each portal is migrated
• Remove old sites
• Verify site owner
• Remove users no longer with the company
• Clean-up document libraries
• If versioning is enabled, limit the number of Saved versions
• Remove web parts that are hidden and not being used
• Review subsites - remove any that are not being used
• Clean-up old alerts. Alerts are not migrated; however, v2 indexer still generates alerts. Can use Outlook 2007 to manage alerts
![Page 31: 8/16/2015Page 1MOSS Upgrade MOSS 2007 Migration Terry Yarnall Manager, Desktop Solutions, Global Infrastructure BETT.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94ab04aa/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Selecting a Migration Option
• Migration Options– In-Place Upgrade (small environments)
• Small farm• Farm is offline during upgrade• Simple process• Use existing hardware
– Gradual Upgrade• MOSS installed on same servers• Granular control over the migration• Can revert back to SPS 2003
– Content Database Migration• Most complex – many manual steps• Requires a new farm

Gradual Upgrade
04/19/23MOSS Upgrade Page 35
• Only one SSP is required• Need to remove SSP1• Remove MySite and SSP1 sites• _Pair site and database are for MOSS
![Page 36: 8/16/2015Page 1MOSS Upgrade MOSS 2007 Migration Terry Yarnall Manager, Desktop Solutions, Global Infrastructure BETT.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94ab04aa/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What happens when you upgrade
04/19/23MOSS Upgrade Page 36
• When you select “Begin upgrade” a new MOSS site and database are created with a _Pair extension • After selecting “Continue Upgrade” you must select the site collections to migrate. You can also select whether to “reset the template pages” during the upgrade to remove customizations.
• Content in MOSS uses the original URL. Requests for content that has not been migrated is redirected to the SPS 2003 portal automatically
• After the upgrade you also have the option to Revert back to the original content.
![Page 37: 8/16/2015Page 1MOSS Upgrade MOSS 2007 Migration Terry Yarnall Manager, Desktop Solutions, Global Infrastructure BETT.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649dbd5503460f94ab04aa/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
What happens when you upgrade
04/19/23MOSS Upgrade Page 37
• Run Prescan before migration
– If you add new sites – must run prescan
– Refresh site the list to show new sites
• Three stages to the migration
– Stage 1 : 135 steps, Stage 2 : 17 steps, Stage 3 : 6 steps
• Temp database is used to copy the content that is being migrated. The database is removed during the upgrade process
• 2-3 times more disk space is required for migration
• Revert back if results are poor or to practice the migration
• It is possible to get back to the pre-staged configuration to run Begin Upgrade again while you’re in test mode
– Delete the MOSS site and database associated with the 2003 site

Configuration Considerations
• Run Windows SharePoint Services Search on one WFE– Windows SharePoint Services Help Search It’s the same service!
• Search & Query on the WFE’s
• V3 Indexer is used as a dedicated WFE for crawls– Takes the load off of the WFE’s serving content
• Consider running Central Admin on more than one WFE– If the WFE running Central Admin goes down you will need to run the
Configuration Wizard to generate a new admin site on another WFE
– Only a few links point back to original Central Admin
– Use Alternate Access Mappings in Operations if the original Central Admin site is down to fix the link

Problems you may encounter
• We created an SSP for the early Search implementation
• We expected a second SSP to be created when we upgraded the parent portal which we would then collapse to a single SSP before migrating the remaining portals. The SSP did not get created as expected!!!
• Microsoft recommends a separate web application for MySites
• In a clean MOSS environment with no migrations that makes sense.
• Inconsistent with gradual upgrade and In-place migration
• The parent portal is migrated first then the child portals.
• It may take several months to migrate all portals.
• Child portals have a MySite link that maps to a MySite collection in MOSS

Creating a new MySite Collection
04/19/23MOSS Upgrade Page 44
• Select the My Site Host template• Problem: it has to be at the root so the Mysite references in SPS 2003 work properly

Gradual Upgrade – MySite Problems
04/19/23MOSS Upgrade Page 45
• Workaround Plan since the SSP was not created• Use the existing SSP• Create a MySite collection in the parent web app• Remove the existing MySites web app• Import the AD profiles• Migrate the personal sites

Creating a new MySite Collection
stsadm –o createweb – url http://spstest1/mysite -sitetemplate SPSMSITEHOST -title “MySite”
• Create a new MySite Host at the root of the parent site
• MySite links on SPS 2003 portals that have not migrated point to:
http://<portal site name>/mysite
• Users are automatically redirected to mysites in MOSS

Profile Import in SSP
• Schedule full AD import weekly
• Filter out junk profiles that are not used
• To update the User Filter – Select View Import Connections
– Click Edit on one of the connections
– Update the User Filter
Example:
(&(objectCategory=Person)(objectClass=User)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2))
(!(displayname=~*))(!(displayname=#*))(!(displayname=+*))(mail=*))
Filters out – inactive accounts, accounts with blank email addresses, and email accounts prefixed with ~, #, +

Problems you may encounter
• Customized web part errors may stop sites from being deployed to WFE’s
• Mapping customizations is very time consuming– Areas
– Site definitions
• Need to recompile custom web parts

Office Web Components
• Web Capture web part breaks in SPS 2003 after MOSS is installed
• The Web.config file in the wpresources directory is altered and needs to be restored to it’s original state until the migration is finished
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\wpresources
• Install the Web Capture web parts in each MOSS WFE so the migrated web capture part functions in MOSS. Run the following command in MOSS for each cab file:
stsadm.exe –o addwppack –filename c:\temp\microsoft.office.dataparts.cab –globalinstall
– microsoft.sharepoint.solutions.greatplains.cab
– microsoft.sharepoint.webparts.quickquote.cab

Other Problems
• Fixing Orphaned MySites– Run SPSADM with repairorphans option
– You must stop IIS & SharePoint services to remove the orphans
• Be careful with application pools– The version of ASP.NET is based on the web site that is
currently running in the App pool
– Don’t mix MOSS 2007 (ver 2.0) and SPS 2003 (ver 1.1)
