The UpgradeTypes rule in Pre-Upgrade Checker in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 2 checks the current setup of a farm and determines what kinds of upgrade are available to the administrator

INTRODUCTION

The UpgradeTypes rule in Pre-Upgrade Checker in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 2 (SP2) checks the current setup of a farm and determines what kinds of upgrade are available to the administrator.

MORE INFORMATION

Farms support the following kinds of upgrade:
  • Inplace upgrade
  • Gradual upgrade
  • Content database attach
Gradual upgrade has the following limitations:
  • Gradual upgrade is not supported on a typical installation.
  • Host header sites cannot be upgraded by using a gradual upgrade.
Notes
  • This rule does not always accurately indicate potential upgrade methods. Additionally, you should not use a gradual upgrade when you upgrade to the next version release that supersedes Windows SharePoint Services and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.
  • Pre-Upgrade Checker ships in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 SP 2. Pre-Upgrade Checker is used to assess the server for potential upgrade issues when you try to upgrade to the next version release that supersedes Windows SharePoint Services and Office SharePoint Server 2007.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
