Important

This procedure is optional and only needs to be done if you plan to migrate your project workspace site and content that is saved in Windows SharePoint Services 2.0.

Prior to migrating the Project workspace sites and their content from Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 to Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, we recommend that you use the Upgrade Pre-Scan tool to validate the SharePoint content database containing the workspaces. In addition, if customization has been applied to site templates or objects, the PreScan Tool will validate whether they are compatible with Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.

The PreScan tool can be downloaded from the following site: SharePoint Products and Technologies Utility: Upgrade Pre-scan Tool (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=92383)

Extract the utility onto the server running Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 and run the utility with the command: Prescan.exe /all

For more information about running the Pre-scan tool, see Run the pre-upgrade scan tool
