Error message when you try to restore a SharePoint Portal Server 2003 site collection that contains subsites: "The server connection timed out"
You use the Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services Migration Tool (Smigrate.exe) to restore a Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 site collection that contains subsites. However, after the top-level site collection is successfully restored, the restore process may appear to stop responding. Additionally, you receive the following error message
for each subsite that you try to restore:
