LESSONS LEARNED
Clean up your old farm!
It’s tempting to skip this, particularly if you’re going with a migration tool approach.
...But don’t!
It will come back to bite you...
LESSONS LEARNED
Clean up your old farm!
• Run Test-SPContentDatabase to find upgrade issues
• Delete old content and sites
• Remove unneeded customizations
LESSONS LEARNED
Don’t skimp on your upgrade hardware
• For upgrades, SQL Server needs RAM and processing power
• For migrations, the PC running your tool needs solid network connections and fast WFEs
• Complex upgrades can take a loooong time
LESSONS LEARNED
Test your upgrade strategy
• You never know what might be lurking in your farm!
• If possible, don’t commit to a go-live date until you’ve tested upgrade
• Get to know your migration tool
