Upgrade Content Database from SP 2003 to MOSS 2007
I am upgrading from SP 2003 to MOSS 2007 using the data Migration option.I havemigrated the content database from SP 2003 to MOSS 2007 server and am now trying to add it as a content datbase to Web Application but I get the following error message:The pre-upgrade scan tool has not yet been run on this database SPContentDatabase Name=Intranet_Content_db Parent=SPDatabaseServiceInstance. You must run the pre-upgrade scan tool before you can continue with the upgrade process. Run the tool from the following path: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\bin\prescan.exe. I ran the pre-upgrade scan tool following the instructions but I still get the above error.Anyone have a solution to this.Thanks.J.

Hello, Its hard to target the root cause base on the information currently provided. Please use the following steps to find more clues about the real errors of Prescan.exe: 1. Click Start, point to All Programs, click Microsoft SQL Server, and then click Query Analyzer. 2. In SQL Query Analyzer, click the content database that you want to verify in the list of databases. 3. Copy the following SQL statement, paste the SQL statement in SQL Query Analyzer, and then click Execute. SELECT FullUrl, Id FROM Sites WHERE bitflags NOT LIKE '262144' This query returns the site collection names that Prescan.exe could not successfully scan or access. Hope it helps. Thanks. Best Regards, Lionel
