Upgrading to SharePoint 2010 After an Upgrade from WSS Left Oddities
The installation of SharePoint 2007 that I inherited was upgraded from WSS 3.0 and although it's working fairly well, it makes me a little nervous because it appears that we have an installation that is partially WSS and partially SharePoint 2007. There are two separate IIS sites (one called MOSS Intranet and the other called WSS Intranet) sitting on the same webserver. They both run on separate IP addresses, point to different installation folders and serve up different websites although appearing to use the same databases. We are using the MOSS Intranet site, but not using the WSS Intranet site. These sites both appear in the Web Application List in the Central Administrator. I am now wanting to upgrade to SharePoint 2010, but I feel I need to start out with a clean installation of SharePoint 2010 and then somehow pull that data over from the installation of SharePoint 2007. I'm wanting to get away from the dual site configuration. Can I just remove the WSS Intranet from the Web Application list, then delete it from IIS and delete it's folder structure on the webserver? If so, does this remove the content for the WSS Intranet site from the database(s)? If you know a way for me to get this cleaned up so I can go through the recommended upgrade path, I'll be happy to do that, but I need to have confidence that the existing sites are clean before doing the upgrade. If I cannot ensure a cleaned up existing site, is there a way to pull over the sites, configuration and data without pulling over the odd configuration we currently have? Freddy Thomas
