Stefan,

I have seen a lot on how to analyze your CMS site for migration to SharePoint 2007, but I can't seem to find anything on what steps I need to take to actually perform the migration. Could you point me at an article that explains this please?

Stefan,

I received the errors and the warnings like

Source database has extra data
Deleted item
The destination site is not empty (ERROR)
Blocked File Type (ERROR)
Broken Links

as well as the errors you received (MCMS 2002 SP2, SQL 2005).

I have to make the migration process working asap. I wonder if I should abandon this migration tool and start to write the migration program on my own, or not? At least exporting cms contents by the console program is not difficult job for me.

A couple of users asked me how I setup my system to do the migration of a MCMS database to MOSS 2007....

Hi,
you need to use the "Blank Site" template as destination for the migration to avoid the "The destination site is not empty" error.
Regarding the blocked file type: remove the affected item.

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

We've been naming our resource galleries after the domain names they are used in, www.domain.com, for example.

This is apparently causing a "blocked file type" error. Removing the dots from the name got rid of the error, but no resources were migrated.
