Moving SharePoint

SharePoint is Microsoft's web-based sharing and collaboration system. The web pages for SharePoint are stored in a SQL Server database.

UMove is designed primarily to move Active Directory, and as such operates only on a domain controller. UMove moves SharePoint as a courtesy as part of moving AD. It will not move SharePoint on a non-domain controller.

To move SharePoint use the following procedure:

1. Prepare the destination computer for SharePoint
2. Install SharePoint
3. Move AD and the SharePoint database
