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.

UMove supports moving the following versions of SharePoint:

• SharePoint Server 2010
• Office SharePoint Server 2007 (SharePoint 3.0)
• Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 (SharePoint 2.0)
• SharePoint Services 3.0 (x86 and x64)
• SharePoint Services 2.0

To move SharePoint use the following procedure:

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