Migrate Sharepoint 2007 to sharepoint 2013 questions

I am in the process of moving sp 2007 to 2013 using db attach/detach. I have some questions.
1) Should I do visual upgrade in 2010, then migrate to 2013 or wait until 2013 and do visual upgrade?
2) Should I convert to Claim in 2010, then migrate to 2013 or wait until migrate to 2013 then convert to claim.
3) What happen if i attached db that was ntlm to web application that currently use use claim?
4) any good article show step by step and things to look for?

1) You must do the visual upgrade to 2010 prior to migration to 2013. SharePoint 2013 does not support the 2007 UI look and feel.
2) Personally, I convert to Claims in SharePoint 2013. Given you're running 2013 SP1 with the April 2014 CU (I recommend Sept 2014 CU) or higher, the conversion will be quicker.
3) Windows Claims is just NTLM or Kerberos. You would need to re-covert. If you're converting in 2013, after you attach the Windows Classic-enabled db to the Claims-enabled web application, you would run Convert-SPWebApplication.

I'm looking for third party tools that can be used to upgrade sharepoint 2007 to sharepoint 2013. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Hi,
To migrate from 2007 to 2013 directly. I believe AvePoint and possibly Axceler have such products.

SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2013 Upgrade - Need to Goto SharePoint 2010 First?

All,
I've seen some posts that say one can go from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2013 - without upgrading to SharePoint 2010. Other posts say otherwise.
Therefore, what is indeed the answer. Ideally I'm looking to stand-up a new SharePoint 2010 or SharePoint 2013 farm then likely do a detach then upgrade of the SharePoint 2007 content databases to SharePoint 2010 or 2013.
Thanks

If you want to do a standard SharePoint upgrade, yes you must go to SharePoint 2010 prior to 2013. If you want to use a 3rd part/in-house custom application content migration upgrade, then you can go straight from SharePoint 20xx to 2013.

Sharepoint 2007 to Sharepoint 2010 migration

Hi,
Does Microsoft recommends/support below techniques for SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010 migration?
Migrate SharePoint 2007 site to 2010 using save list as template technique: I use this technique. I have to delete all look up columns and add them again. Because I deleted all look up columns, I lost data of those columns. I am not able to update these
columns data using spreadsheet view copy and paste as those are look up columns. Please tell me what is the easy way to update these look up columns data. After I move it production again I have to do incremental update.
Migrate SharePoint 2007 site to 2010 using an Access table technique: This technique does not support all data types.
Migrate SharePoint 2007 site to 2010 using Power Shell STSADM command: As in my site there are some customization I am not able to migrate site using STSADM command. It is giving me errors.
Thanks,
Amit Khatri

hi
mentioned techniques can be used for copying the data across different web apps/farms within the same Sharepoint version (i.e. from SP2007 to SP2007 or from SP2010 to SP2010, but not from SP2007 to SP2010). If you need to perform upgrade from SP2007 to SP2010
you have 2 ways:
- in-place upgrade
- db attach upgrade
Check the following post for more details:

Delta migration on sharepoint 2007 to sharepoint 2010

To
SharePoint2010 Dear All ,
I am working on (SharePoint 2007 – SharePoint 2010 – SharePoint 2013) migration project . I need to do content database migration from one environment to another and many sites are suggesting the Content Database attach approach. It is working fine but doing
in production it’s taking more time minimum one week to complete this process.
I want to take the incremental backup of MOSS 2007 Content DB (only modified or newly added data )only with one week of updated data and restore in SharePoint 2010 and 2013 Environment .Kind of Delta migration.
Please advice on this.
sarav

If you want to do that the only approach I see is use a 3rd party product such as DocAve and Quest to do delta migrations.
Kind regards,

Unable to edit document from SharePoint 2007 using Office 2013 and IE 11

I am getting the following error when I try to edit a document from SharePoint 2007: "Edit document
requires a Windows Sharepoint services-compatible application and Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or greater". I am using Windows 7 with Office 2013 and Internet Explorer 11. Troubleshooting steps that I've tried so far (that haven't worked) are as follows:
1) repaired Office; 2) switched from 64 bit version of IE to 32 bit version; 3) moved the owssupp.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\ to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15; 4) tried removing old versions of Office (but
I still need to use Office Communicator 2007 r2 and couldn't figure out how to get rid of the Office14 files from Program Files); and 5) running SharePoint in IE compatibility mode. Please advise...thanks!

Hi,
It seems you installed mixed version Office2007/2010/2013 on your client machine?
I would suggest you remove all Office 2007 and 2010 version, and reinstall Office 2013(include Office Tools->Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support component) on your machine, and make sure "Open SharePointDocuments class" add-on is enabled
from IE11, then check if it could fix the issue.
If above works, please test again after installing the Office Communicator 2007 r2 on your machine.

How to migrate search configuration and db from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010

hi all
currently we have a plan to migrate sharepoint 2007 farm to sharepoint 2010 with sp2 version. we have used the ssp, and only the search function.
Now the search db is quite big.
we have to use the database attach way to do migraion, because the old system must be online in 24 hours per day.
what i want to know is can we migrate the search db directly instead of recreate content source and reconfigure the search and do full crawl?
thanks.

Hi Sarav,
From the error message, it seems that it needs to check out the document first to make the workflow to be executed.
I recommend to check if “Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited” is set to Yes in the Versioning settings of the library where the workflow associated.
If yes, please set it to No and then run the workflow to see if the issue still occurs.
Thanks,
Victoria

Migration: Ex 2007 to Ex 2013 and co-exist scenario: Subject Alternative Name certificate

We are planning the migration of Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. In our Existing SAN certificate for Exchange services (OWA,ActiveSync), we have a URL that we included that we no longer have a service for or anything associated with it. For
example: mail.contoso.com.
Can we use this URL in the new Exchange 2013 certificate (3rd Party) we request/obtain as opposed to putting an entry for legacy.contoso.com? Or will we get errors?
Thanks for your answers!

Hello,
No problem. For example, currently, you have two records in SAN, the last one is not in use.
{a.domian.com, b.domain.com}
You can:
a.domain.com -> Exchange 2007
b.domain.com -> Exchange 2013
BTW, you must have autodiscover.domain.com point it to Exchange 2013.

Sharepoint 2007 into Sharepoint 2010 migration MOUNT-SPCONTENTDATABASE fails and Sharepoint management shell closes automatically

Hi all,
I am trying to Migrate from sp2007 into sp2010. I have a heavily customized site with lots of sites, lists etc totalling upto 180GB size. Now when i perform Mount-spcontentdatabase, the command prompt ie Sharepoint Management shell closes after a certain
period of time eg 18%. Now, if i try to re-run the command again, the database is locked, as it might still be running something in the background.
Also, i tried running the Upgrade-Spcontentdatabase with forcedeletelock as true, so it unlocks and then upgrade, still with no luck
So quick question Can i run the Upgrade-spcontent command before running Mount, as i noticed my database version is old and need to be upgraded. Or Mount should def be run before upgrade regardless if the database is old or not?
Would really appreciate if someone could answer this soon?
Thanks in advance
cheers
Ren

what is the version of the SP2007, if database required upgrade then you should do this in 2007, once status says "no action required" then migrate to 2010 & mount it there.

Migrate a List from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010

There's a SharePoint List in the 2007 server having some 32 SiteColumns. None of the columns are of type LookUp i.e., there is no dependency of any column over any other Lists. I just need to copy it as it is to 2010 server. Only problem is that it has got
items worth more than 10GB size. [The list has many video attachments]
Saving the List as template along with its contents is certainly not an option. What I am proposing is to export the entire List to a number of "DAT" files using powershell and then again import the same to the 2010 server. This definitely includes
manually changing the version of the List from 12 to 14 after export.
Plz advice if there's any better alternative to do this.

hi
also check Migration Manager for SharePoint, which may migrate content from older SP versions to newer and has trial version. And of course it is always possible to write custom script
or console utility which will save all metadata to the file system and then import it to new SP version.

Convert a sharepoint 2007 master page to a Sharepoint 2013 master page

Dear friends,
I'm doing migration from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2013. I was able to migrate the databases and deployed the customisations to new SP2013 environment. Can
you please advice me which approch should I follow when migrating the master page? Does anyone have experience ?
Thanks,
Dilip

Hi Dilip,
There is no easy way to migrate SharePoint 2007 master page to SharePoint 2013.
SharePoint 2013 use new CSS Style and theme. When you migrate to SharePoint 2013, the master page will be set to use the default master page in SharePoint 2013. To support the new UI in SharePoint 2013, changes have been made to the default master pages.
For this reason, you cannot apply a master page created in SharePoint 2007 to a site in SharePoint 2013.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:
