Topic Last Modified: 2010-06-07

This chapter describes the tasks required in the pre-migration phase when you are using the Project Server Virtual Migration Environment (VME) to migrate your Microsoft Office Project Server 2003 data to Microsoft Office Project Server 2007. Run these tasks after you have completed the tasks listed in Configure the Hyper-V environment for the Project Server VME and before you try to run the migration.

Articles in this chapter are as follows:

• Check for reserved custom field, lookup table, or outline code name conflicts (Project Server)

• Disable Dynamic Content Compression in IIS Manager

• Project Server VME: Run pre-migration scripts (optional)

After completing the tasks required in the pre-migration phase, see Project Server VME: Migration phase.

The Project Server virtual migration environment is a Office Project Server 2007 virtual environment used to migrate Project Server 2003 data to Microsoft Project Server 2010. There is no direct migration path from Office Project Server 2007 to Project Server 2010. However, the Project Server VME can be used as a pass-through environment to upgrade your Project Server 2003 data to Office Project Server 2007 before upgrading the data to Project Server 2010. For more information about the Project Server virtual migration environment, see Migrate your Project Server 2003 data by using the VME. For more information about how to upgrade to Microsoft Project Server 2010, see Project Server 2010 upgrade overview.
