My scenario is to upgrade Wss2.0 with WMSDE to Wss3.0 with SQL 2005 Express
(install upgrade).
If you ask the question why? I'm doing a NOTES migration and the only MS
tool that works well is "Microsoft Application Transporter 2006 For Lotus
Domino" and this is designed for Wss2. The later Transporter version tool
does not bring across the desired results..eg metadata.
I've tested these scenario of moving SP Designer and it works well on a
Wss3.0 platforms and hence the best option is to migration from NOTES to
Wss2.0 (SP2) and then to Wss3.0. Then using MS SharePoint Designer to move
to a MOSS Farm.
With the prescan, I have no issue in the logs, all looks well.
The install of Wss3.0 (upgrade) runs smoothly.
However when connecting to the previous sites that were on Wss2.0, I get
"unable to get global configuration data".
The Wss2.o install was a standard install, no customisation, etc. A vanilla
install.
I suspect that the issue is not being able to access the Database on SQL
Express. But from what angle. Installing Wss2.0 gives no options for the
WMSDE db.
How would you recommend to fix this. Any suggestions please.
Cheers,
Sam S
