I would second that. A gradual upgrade has always worked for me
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ritchie, Louise Sent: Tuesday, 1 April 2008 10:31 AM To: listserver@ozMOSS.com Subject: RE: [OzMOSS] Migration Issue Sharepoint 2003 to MOSS 2007 We had troubles with the DB Migration method and decided to use the Gradual Upgrade method, after some research found that this was better for our set up. Personally, if I was to do it again, I think I would take the opportunity to start from scratch. We have 1 site collection, nearly 200 subsites but have been using sharepoint since 2001 so you can imagine the amount of redundant information and inherited errors etc on our portal. The gradual upgrade took nearly 3 weeks and many phone calls with Microsoft to resolve the issues.

We are in the process of performing a "Database Migration" upgrade. We have run the pre-scan on 2003 and attached the db to MOSS 2007.

Or have you just attached the db to MOSS 2007? Louise Ritchie Portal Specialist Bakers Delight Holdings Ltd [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Leonard Sent: Monday, 31 March 2008 3:28 PM To: listserver@ozmoss.com Subject: [OzMOSS] Migration Issue Sharepoint 2003 to MOSS 2007 I'm currently trying to migrate our existing Sharepoint 2003 environment to MOSS 2007. In our Sharepoint 2003 environment, content for multiple sites exists in a single database. I have successfully prescanned all sites and restored the database into the new MOSS 2007 environment. I then successfully ran the stsadm command to add the content database to a new website and did an IISReset. The problem is that once I browse to the new website, I cannot see any of the sites/details etc in the old content database in the new website. It's like necessary links to it have not been established. Has anyone else experienced this before?
