Identifying Migration Content

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

After determining how to perform the migration, identify which user files and folders to migrate, and then identify key user settings to migrate, as shown in Figure 5.3. Consider which data and settings are worth migrating and which do not provide sufficient benefits to justify the cost of migration.

Figure 5.3   Identifying Migration Content

Part of identifying migration content is recognizing that you must provide a transitional storage place for everything that you migrate. Be sure that you have enough storage capacity to store the aggregate content during the migration. For information about estimating required storage capacity, see "Determining Storage Requirements" later in this chapter.
