This article contains a list of all Pre-Upgrade Checker for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 2 knowledge base articles. 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 prepare to upgrade to the next version
release that supersedes Windows SharePoint Services and SharePoint Server
2007.
The Pre-Upgrade Checker
is a tool that calls an extensible set of routines.
The routines
can be run against an existing SharePoint 2007 environment that has been
updated by using Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 2. The
Pre-Upgrade
Checker
routines
are used to determine potential issues that may
prevent you
from upgrading
successfully. The tool also enables IT operations personnel to scan their
SharePoint farm in advance and provides feedback on the environment's readiness
to upgrade. It also provides information that helps the personnel to fix issues
that are discovered by the tool.
The Pre-Upgrade Checker runs
rule-based checks. If the products have built
rules for themselves, the ability of the Pre-Upgrade
Checker to check for them can be extended. Products that include rules in the
Pre-Upgrade Checker include:
- Microsoft Search Server 2008 (informational rules)
- Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 (informational rules and
errors)
- Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (informational rules)
- Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer 2007 (errors)
- Windows SharePoint Services (informational rules and errors)
When you run the Pre-Upgrade Checker, it provides output text to inform
you of potential issues. Possible solutions are suggested in the output text.
For situations in which a more thorough explanation is required, the output
text directs you to this article. Use this article to locate more information
about the rule in order to help resolve the issue.
If the output text
is not sufficient to explain the issue, you see text that is similar to the
following in the rule output text:
For more information about this rule, see KB article XXXXXX in the rule article list at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=120257.

Checker.

[ -rulefiles <rule files delimited by comma or semicolon.> ]
[ -listrulefiles ]

The Pre-Upgrade Checker does not perform any repairs. Instead, it
checks for issues and provides an output list of issues and possible remedies to the
issues.
