Migration data collection worksheet

To ensure that the destination server functions correctly after migrating the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) 3.0 SP2 server role, you can use this migration data collection worksheet to collect data about the source server. You can use Windows commands on the source server to identify the settings that are requested in the worksheet.

On the source server, open a Command Prompt window: click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then press ENTER.
