The PendingUpgrade rule in Pre-Upgrade Checker in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 2 warns that the gradual upgrade of a farm is not yet completed

SUMMARY

The PendingUpgrade rule in Pre-Upgrade Checker in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 2 warns that the gradual upgrade of a farm is not yet completed.

MORE INFORMATION

When you run Pre-Upgrade Checker, this rule checks whether the current farm is still undergoing a gradual upgrade. This rule also checkswhether the current farm still has Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 site collections that have yet to be upgraded. Additionally, this rule checks whether the particular server needs upgrade for any reason at all. Then, this rule suggests you to upgrade these sites, and complete the gradual upgrade from version 2.0 to version 3.0, before you try to upgrade the farm from version 3.0 to version 4.0. Here is a sample of the warning message:

Gradual upgrade is not yet finalized
The current farm is being upgraded from a previous version, and the operation has not yet been finalized. If the current farm is upgraded to a new version, some content from the previous version might be missing.


If you receive this message, you must continue to migrate the contents from the earlier version of SharePoint products on the Current upgrade status page. When all the content is migrated, locate the Finalize upgrade page to complete the upgrade.

Note The Pre-Upgrade Checker ships in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 2.It is used to assess the server for potential upgrade issues when you are preparing to upgrade to the next version release of Windows SharePoint Services, and of SharePoint Server 2007.
