Organizations of all sizes are begging their technical departments to setup SharePoint 2010 so that they're able to make use of some of the capabilities introduced within the SharePoint 2010 platform. While designing, implementing, configuring and deploying a system in and of itself has its own set of challenges, migrating into that shiny new SharePoint can be even more difficult. In this session, Scott and Dan will share some of their experiences and lessons learned tips, tricks and pointers for ensuring that you've considered the various aspects of challenges that arise during a migration effort. Further, as a bonus they'll share how to not fall prey to some of these pitfalls but rather be able to show that you're a well rounded professional that's thought things through before pressing the enter key.

Are we upgrading? Are we migrating? Are we doing both?

DAN½SCOTT¾Consolidation ConsiderationsWhile we’re at it, are we going to consolidate into a single farm, a plantation, a distributed system, we’re just staying as isSP2010 supports no more than 5,000 site collections in a content database for upgrade. This is 45,000 less that what it was in MOSS 2007! Recommendation is 2,000.To set the warning level for the number of sites in a content database, use the Windows PowerShell cmdlet Set-SPContentDatabase with the -WarningSiteCount parameter. For more information, see Set-SPContentDatabase.
