Your company has an Active Directory domain. All the servers in the company run either Windows
Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2003. A Windows Server 2003 server named Server1 runs
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP2 and Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) 2.0. The company
plans to migrate to WSS 3.0 SP2 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server named Server2. You need to
migrate the configuration and content from Server1 to Server2. What should you do?
A.
Back up the SharePoint configuration and content from Server1. Install WSS 3.0 SP2 on Server2.
Restore the backup from Server1 to Server2.
B.
Upgrade Server1 to Windows Server 2008 R2. Back up the SharePoint configuration and content
from Server1. Install WSS 3.0 SP2 on Server2. Restore the backup from Server1 to Server2.
C.
Back up the SQL Server 2005 configuration and the WSS 2.0 databases from Server1. Install SQL
Server 2005 on Server2. Restore the SQL Server 2005 backup from Server1 to Server2.
D.
Back up the WSS 2.0 configuration and content from Server1. Install WSS 2.0 on Server2. Restore
the backup from Server1 to Server2. Perform an in-place upgrade of WSS 2.0 to WSS 3.0 SP2 on
Server2.
Explanation:
To migrate to SharePoint Services (WSS) 3.0. from Server1 to Server2 with all the configuration and
content, you need to install WSS 2.0 on Server2. Back up the WSS 2.0 configuration and content
from Server1 and restore the backup from Server1 to Server2. Perform an in-place upgrade of WSS
2.0 to WSS 3.0 on Server2. When you run an in-place upgrade, all content and configuration data is
upgraded in-place, at one time. When you start the in-place upgrade process, the Web server and
Web sites remain offline until the upgrade has been installed. In-place upgrades are best for a standalone server and small installations as in this case
