Migrate from Sharepoint 2003 to Sharepoint 2013

Hi All,
We currently have three sharepoints farms built on 2003, 2010 and 2013.
I have successfully migrated /upgraded the SP 2010 to SP 2013.
However, the issue is that i want to do the same for the SP 2003 farm. Is there a way i can migrate it to SP 2010 without first passing through SP 2007. If not, will I need to do a fresh installation of SP 2007 farm just for this purpose.
I also know of third party tools but the overall aim is to achieve this at minimal cost.
Kind Regards
Louis
thanks

I agree with Inderjeet. If you factor your time into it then minimal cost for this exercise will be a third party tool. Bluntly the only thing that's going to be worth keeping in there is some documentation so you might as well use robocopy and the virtual
path to move the files over.
To balance it you'd have to re-install 2007, migrate through all the stages rectifying issues along the way, in particular changing authentication methods, and then merely end up with sites and content designed for a different decade that look awful. One
additional jump (i.e. 2003-2010) is within the margin of tolerance, two additional hops is a hop too far.
If you've got 25GB or less then MetaLogix has a free version of their migration tool. Even if you've got more than that to move you're going to come out head and shoulders better doing a content migration than an upgrade.

Items greyed out after upgrading and migrating to Sharepoint 2013 - Open and Check Out + Manage Document Option

Hi there,
Following a migration to SharePoint 2013, the follow options have been disabled (Open and Check out + Manage) (see below). These are critically important functions and make it very hard to make SharePoint a useable interface. Any guidance on how to resolve
these issues is greatly appreciated. This is not a branded website, and there has been no changes made to the standard interface.
Kind regards
Jarrad Koppen

I'm not sure what the easiest way is either. First, I would try to create a new site collection with a new library and see if you get the same behavior. If not, then its something in the upgrade process. If it does that also would point
to something being wrong in the way that javascript is being executed.
If it is happening everywhere I suspect you'll have to start tracing javascript using something like IE developer's toolbar to see why the status on those buttons isn't changing when you select a document. I'm not sure what else to suggest.

Word Viewer will not open documents from Sharepoint 2013 in IE11

I've run into an issue while trying to open documents from SharePoint 2013 after upgrading to IE11. My organization uses Word Viewer with the compatibility pack and all other Word documents (local files, intranet hosted) will open with no problems. When
trying to open a Word document from SharePoint the Word Viewer will open, but the file does not. We have verified that all Windows Updates are installed. We have tried opening SharePoint in Compatibility View and Enterprise Mode. We have re-downloaded the
latest version of Word Viewer and reinstalled it along with the compatibility pack. If we open the SharePoint site in Explorer view and then open a Word document it will open in Word Viewer with no problem. Excel and PowerPoint documents open from SharePoint
with no problem. This is only affecting Word documents with Word Viewer. When using the full version of Word the documents open fine. Within SharePoint we have tried activating the site collection feature "Open Document In Client Applications by Default"
but it made no difference. We're completely at a loss how to make this work as there doesn't seem to be much information specifically pertaining to issues with Word Viewer.

Hi Victoria.
1. The PCs do not have Microsoft Office installed, nor are we using the Office Web Apps. "Word Viewer" means the Microsoft Word Viewer application available here (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=4) that is available
free for read-only viewing of Word documents.
2. There are no errors when I open Word docs in Word Viewer. The Word Viewer application launches after clicking a Word document link in Sharepoint, but there is no file open in it. When that happens the IE11 Sharepoint window on the taskbar is flashing
yellow, but when I click back to it there are no messages or alerts to click on.
3. This issue does occur with all Word documents (.doc, .docx) in SharePoint. However, it does not occur when opening Word documents in the Word Viewer when they are local files or through IE11 from a non-SharePoint website like our local intranet.
Those files will open with no problem in Word Viewer.
4. I will try to get a screenshot, but we are working on creating images for deployment and I don't currently have a machine configured the same way. I'll work on reconfiguring one and post a screenshot.
Thank you for your help!

Problem opening documents from SharePoint (2013) libraries with Office 2010 and 2013 components installed

Hi
I've been encountering the problem of Office files failing to open from SharePoint 2013 libraries with the prefix of 'ms-excel:ofv|u|' etc. in the url. Following the
helpful questions and answers in the forum, I've identified the likely cause as the fact that my main Office installation is 2010, but I also have installed OneDrive for Business 2013 (which I need in order to sync document libraries with my local drive).
The solution I've seen suggested elsewhere of deactivating the SharePoint integration of Office 2013 components fails for two reasons: there is no way (or at least, I can't find one) of deactivating SharePoint integration probably because, deactivating
SharePoint integration would likely stop the syncing of libraries/folders.
One thing that I have noticed in my case that I've not seen mentioned elsewhere is that if I right-click a document and select 'open in new tab/window' the required
document opens directly in the relevant office package. I don't know if this is a useful observation, but it seems to be new information.
My question is, is there a way I can continue to sync libraries and open Office documents directly in Office 2010? My thoughts are possible changes to registry settings
(which I can do, but don't know enough to find the correct ones myself) or (re)installation of software in some appropriate order to leave the correct settings.
I have 'repaired' my Office 2010 installation without any observed affect on behavior.
Thanks
Ray
(I've just seen a suggestion that Office 2010 SP2 may fix this issue. I've requested to test this, but whilst this may fix my problem, rolling it out to
other users may be more problematic. In the meantime, other suggestions of solutions are welcome)

Hi,
According to your description, it is a good way to do a test about office 2010 SP2, here is an article about this issue- limitations of using the OneDrive for Business sync app with Office 2010 applications , it may help you.

401 Unauthorized Error When calling a SharePoint REST web service from SharePoint 2013 Workflow

We have our Workflow Manger installed on the same server as our SharePoint 2013 WFE development environment. When creating a SharePoint 2013 Workflow all Calls to a SharePoint 2013 REST web service results in a 401 Unauthorized error.
As an example I created a simple workflow that should return a JSON result. The REST Url returns the results in the browser without error.
Set Variable:webServiceUrl to https://<hostnamedsitecollection>/_vti_bin/client.svc/web/lists/getbytitle('ISR%20Approvers')/Items?$select=Title&$filter=Title%20eq%20%27General%27
then Build{...} Dictionary (Output to Variable:requestHeaders)
then Call [%Variable:webServiceUrl%] HTTP web service with request (ResponseContent to Variable:responseContent |ResponseHeaders to responseHeaders | ResponseStatusCode to Variable:responseCode)
The RequestHeader is set to the requestHeaders variable though the web service call properties
then Log Variable:responseCode to the workflow history list
After manually running the workflow in SharePoint on a list item in the ISR Approvers list it Logs "Unauthorized" in the Workflow History Log. It does this with every SharePoint REST web service call that I have tried through the workflow.
It doesn't have anything to do with the Workflow Manger being installed on the same machine as the SharePoint WFE does it?
Thank You for any insight

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you had 401 Unauthorized Error when calling a SharePoint REST web service from SharePoint 2013 Workflow.
Please make sure you use the ‘Call HTTP Web Service’ correctly.
You can enter the URL into the brower to check whether it is correctly.
You need to
create the Request header requestHeaders
using a Dictionary:
Accept : application/json;odata=verbose
Content-Type : application/json;odata=verbose
To associate the
requestHeaders variable, select the Call action
property, set the RequestHeaders property to
requestHeaders.
Please refer to the following articles:
Working with Web Services in SharePoint 2013 Workflows using SharePoint Designer 2013
Calling the SharePoint 2013 Rest API from a SharePoint Designer
Workflow
In addtion, you need to make sure you install the workflow manager correctly.

Can't open Excel files from Sharepoint 2013

I am having an issue with opening Excel files from SharePoint 2013. If I click on an excel file it comes up with the error below.
If I click Try again I get the message below also:
If I try to open Word or PDF files they open correctly in the appropriate client and I have the option of checking them out and editing them. Any ideas why this would only be happening to Excel files?
Thanks,
Shaun

Hi Shaun,
I understand that the Excel files cannot be opened from SharePoint in Microsoft Excel.
Can these files be viewed in the browser?
I recommend to download a copy of the files with issue and then open them in Excel to see if the issue still occurs.
If above cannot work, I recommend to repair Office.
Best regards.
Thanks

Migration from Sharepoint to EP

Hi,
I have requirement where I have to do Full migration from Sharepoint Portal to EP.please share some information on the steps involved in migration from Sharepoint to EP.
Thanks in advance,
Pramod

Hi Pramod,
some properties are mappable directly: name, description...
Often, one has defined special metadata properties on SharePoint. You can define corresponding predefined properties on KM site, for example restricted to the repository into which you will import the SharePoint files/versions (CM repository).
The mapping then has to be done by your own. We have just created a mapping table which SP property on the left side and the KM property on the right side. Then the program can be quite generic, reacting on reading a SP property, checking the mapping table and creating the mapped property/value on KM.
Hope it helps

Error occurs when I open the tasks list in MS Project Professional 2013 from SharePoint 2013

Hi,
I have created a SharePoint 2010 workflow for a tasks list that updates a list item column if the Date Complete <= Today's date & Percentage Complete = 100%
I used 'Set Field in Current Item' in the workflow & the values are updated in the list for the current item.
However, when I open the tasks list in MS Project Professional 2013 from SharePoint 2013, then I get a error "We can't write task - taskname to the SharePoint site. This is either because tasks list is in read only mode or because this task has a column
that requires unique value."
If I remove the 'Set Field in Current Item' in the workflow, then the error does not occur. However, the 'Set Field in Current Item' in the workflow is required.
Please provide solution to this issue ASAP. Your reply will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi Jack,
A shot in the dark here. I'm not convinced the error is from the workflow. What is the definition of the list item column in SharePoint? Have you set the column to requiring a unique vale? Look at the column definition.

Disable Edit Report Option from SharePoint 2013 PowerView Dasboard

Hi All,
I have PowerView Dashboard in Sharepoint 2013, In a Preview Bar there are three options i.e. File, Edit Report, Full Screen.
The requirement is disable only Edit Report Option from preview bar not all.
Please help me if there is any possibility for the same.

Hi,
Based on your description, you want to disable the edit report option from SharePoint 2013 PowerView Dasboard.
There is a workaround:
You can change the permission of the report. You should upload the report to a SharePoint library and set a user have read-only permission of the report. When the user open the report and save the changes, it will have error. The user cannot edit the report.
The article below is about change the report permission in order to disable the edit option.

Word 2013 slow to open documents from SharePoint 2013

Hi all,
Word 2013 running on a Windows 8.1 client is take 2 or more minutes to open a document from SharePoint 2013. Excel takes less then 10 seconds from the same site in SharePoint.
I have remove all proxy configuration from IE, clear the Auto Detect Settings. Added the URL's to the intranet zone and disabled all IE addons. I have also performed a reset on IE, reinstall of Office and tried a number of workstations. All have the same
issue. The document just take forever to open.
Checking with Fiddler, I can see 3 requests hit the SharePoint server then nothing... after a few minutes the document opens.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Craig

Hi Craig,
For troubleshooting your issue, please take steps as below:
1.Open IE, go to "Tools > Internet Options > Connections > Lan Settings" and uncheck "Auto Detect Proxy".
2.From the File tab in Word application, select Options and then click on Advanced and then in the Display section of the dialog, check the box for
Disable hardware graphics acceleration.

Migrating from SharePoint Online to an In House SharePoint Environment

What will be the method for clients to migrate from SharePoint Online to an In House SharePoint environment if the need arises in the future. I have had clients ask me this and I do not yet have a good answer.

Hi Michael,
Right now, to migrate off of SharePoint Online, it is a manual process. You would need to copy the documents, lists, etc. all manually (suggest creating list templates that contain the data). Third party tools like those offered by Quest, Metalogix, and Casahl also work in this scenario.
However, we realize this is not ideal. We have heard several requests in this area and are now exploring options to provide an automated way to get your data off of SharePoint Online.

Migration from Exchange 2003

Hi,
We are a small business. We currently use Small Business Server 2003 which has Exchange 2003 built-in.
Can we migrate from Exchange 2003 to Mac OS X Server mail services?
Can Office 2011 connect to Mac mail services? If so, what protocols?
Many thanks,
Ciaran.

We are a small business. We currently use Small Business Server 2003 which has Exchange 2003 built-in.
What features of Exchange are you using? Push notifications? Calendaring. Sharepoint? Figure out what you want and what you need (and which are two separate lists) and then map that over to what Mac OS X Server, or to what a Mac box with the Kerio Connect package loaded, might provide you.
Can we migrate from Exchange 2003 to Mac OS X Server mail services?
That's rather open-ended. It's possible, but there's no single definition of small business mail requirements. Some small businesses can and have, and some might find themselves missing critical features.
Can Office 2011 connect to Mac mail services? If so, what protocols?
iWork does well enough to read and write Office files locally, so I don't have experience with Microsoft Office. The Windows mail clients can certainly access Unix mail servers. As for what connectivity is present within Office, I'm way too rusty with Windows to comment. What used to be the Outlook Express client worked just fine with Unix mail servers. The full-on Office Outlook client was pretty flaky with stuff other than Exchange, but that was some years ago.
Biggest issues with SBS migrations tend to be with shared Address Book, with shared Calendars and with Sharepoint services; if you're heavy users of those features, you might find the Mac OS X Server implementations lacking. Kerio can potentially help here.
Look around the forums for some other folks. This particular SBS migration has been fairly common fodder for discussions.
