CAUSE

This problem may occur in situations when you upgrade from Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2001 to a SharePoint Portal Server 2003 deployment that uses a document management server with a different URL than the one that is used for SharePoint Portal Server 2001, and then back up and restore the data to a server farm deployment of SharePoint Portal Server 2003. In this situation, links to documents in backward-compatible document libraries still refer to the server that was running SharePoint Portal Server 2001.

For example, this problem may occur if the following conditions are true, in the order that they appear:
  1. You upgrade to SharePoint Portal Server 2003 from SharePoint Portal Server 2001 by doing the following, in the order that they appear:
    1. You back up and restore SharePoint Portal Server 2001 data to another computer that is running SharePoint Portal Server 2001.
    2. You use the Upgrade.exe tool to export data from the SharePoint Portal Server 2001computer.
    3. You install Microsoft Windows Server 2003 on the computer, and then use the Upgrade.exe tool to upgrade the SharePoint Portal Server 2001 computer to SharePoint Portal Server 2003.
    4. You import SharePoint Portal Server 2001 data to the SharePoint Portal Server 2003 computer.
  2. You backup the SharePoint Portal Server 2003 data on the computer, and then restore the data to a server farm deployment of SharePoint Portal Server 2003.
