• Which migration ?
• Project plan
• Demo : Migration to SharePoint 2016– Technical process
• Demo : Migration to Office 365– Inventory
– Migration
• Common errors– Migrating to SharePoint 2016
– Migrating previous versions
Agenda
Which migration ?
One or several SharePoint migrations ?
SP2010
Migration trajectories
SP2016
SP Online
Sequential upgrade
From version to version
With DB upgrade
Direct move to last version
Need third party tool
SP2013MOSS 2007
To the Cloud
Tooling is highly
recommended too
New API for perfor-
mance
Hybrid
Imply permanent link between
platforms, may imply
permanent exchanges
The 3 possible waysSequential version DB upgrade
• Verify disk space
• Verify updates levels, functional change
• This is the only directly supported method
Direct move to last version
• Quicker and less expensive
• Third party tool is mandatory
• Allow a major reorganization of content
To the Cloud
• Beware of functional discrepancy and amount of data transfers
• Third party tool is highly recommended
• Reorganization is almost always necessary

How to plan?
Assess current content
• By hands
• With PowerShell scripts
• Tools : Documentation Toolkit For
SharePoint
• With migration tools
Build the migration plan
• Why -, Legal Requirement? New
Features?
• What -, Public Facing, Intranet, Service
Applications?
• When ?
• When and how communicate ?
Clean / Reorganize
• By hand
• Scripts
• Tools
Set up new environments for test and future production
• Design and size new farms
•Physical versus virtual
•Servers by role
• Install custom developments
• Basic testing first
Tests on production data
•Deploy Solutions (We all love Add-ins hé )
•Use a copy of production data => Test and verify databases
•Verify that sites are OK in compatibility mode
•Upgrade sites collections
Correct errors
• Analyze migration logs for site collections
•Visual and functional verification of sites Technical Diagrams SharePoint 2013 Upgrade :
• SharePoint 2013 : How to test upgrade ?
How to prepare?
Migration methods
• Copy Content DB + upgrade site
collections
• Third-party tool
Migration type
• Direct or in several steps
• Several versions Cohabitation
• Compatibility mode SP2010 on SP2013
for example
• Complete or Incremental (Third-party tool)
How to migrate?
Acceptance tests
• IT acceptance tests
• Business Users acceptance tests
Validate

matters?

In theory migration to SharePoint 2016
IT Preview
The SharePoint Server 2016 IT
Preview is provided for the sole
purpose of evaluating new and
updated features in SharePoint
Server 2016 IT Preview. This
software is provided as-is for use in
a test environment and is not
supported by Microsoft Support.
This preview release does not
provide a migration/upgrade path
to the final release of SharePoint
Server 2016.
• SharePoint Server 2016 IT Preview supports an upgrade from SharePoint 2013 with March 2013 PU, version 15.0.4481.1005 or higher.
• When you upgrade from SharePoint 2013 to SharePoint Server 2016 IT Preview, you must use a database attach upgrade, which means that you upgrade only the contentfor your environment and not the configuration settings.
• SharePoint Server 2016 IT Preview does not support SharePoint 2010 mode (that is, compatibility level 14) site collections.

Strengths
• Direct migration 2007 - 2013
• Cloud Migration
• Granular migration
• Content reorganization
• Differential update
• Content filtering
• Tool delegation IT or Business
Weaknesses
• Testing
• Costs (to be checked with your sales rep)
– 25 to 45€ / GB or
– 14 k€ / frontal or
– 5 k€ / 10 users
• Training
Tools strengths and weaknesses
Demo Sharegate
• You don’t know SharePoint
• You thought training was
optional
• Lack of communication
• You thought database attach
would do everything
• Ignored building a new
architecture
• You didn’t inventory your sites
and test them for upgrade
• No planning, no governance,
no information architecture
• No measurable goals were set
• Branding seemed irrelevant to
you
• Ignoring third party tools

Error when executing standard approval workflow• In French • In English
More errors …(4/6)
x
Configuration du Workflow
• This error appears when the checkbox
« Update approval status when Workflow is
ended» is checked
• It tries to update approval status when
workflow end
Error when executing standard approval workflow
More errors …(5/6)
• The previous checkbox implies that
workflow impersonate using the login of the
workflow’s author.
• This is a problem because this one is usually
know only in the original farm (not in the
migrated one)
• We have to use SharePoint Designer to save
the workflow and republish it using an
account with enough privileges in the new
farm
