Note: The "Service" column indicates whether the features requires the Metalogix Extensions Service to be installed (the service ships with SharePoint Site Migration Manager). Most features that use the service, require that it is installed on the target SharePoint server.

Your input is valuable to us. If you have a feature suggestion or request, please e-mail them to support@metalogix.net.

Comments

Document Library and List Version History
Versions of custom list items are not yet supported when migrating from Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 to MOSS 2007. Versions of documents in document libraries are supported.
back to table

Alerts
Alerts may only be copied to MOSS 2007 sites. Site users who have alerts copied over will receive email notification(s) that the copied alert(s) have been created on the target site. It is advised that alerts not be copied to lists/libraries that have been modified/created within 5 mins of the alert copy. Doing so increases the risk that users will receive unnecessary alert e-mails pertaining to the list modifications made prior to the alert-copy. This feature requires that the latest version of the extension service be running on both the source and target servers.
back to table

Audiences
Audience settings of SharePoint V2 web parts can be mapped when they are being copied to MOSS 2007. MOSS 2007 list item audience settings are also mapped, but only for the global audiences. The groups and security groups are not mapped.
back to table

Content Types
Migration Manager will associate custom content types if they have been created on the target server.
back to table

Column Mapping
Column mapping is available during item-level copy operations--other options are coming soon.
back to table

Folders
Folders created under MOSS 2007 Custom Lists are not supported.
back to table

Users
If the SIDs do not match, SSMM will attempt to map by string. Migrating all user information from MOSS 2007 to MOSS 2007 requires the Metalogix service on both the source and target servers.
back to table

Cross Domain Users
If you want to migrate users across domains without a trust, please contact Metalogix for more information.
back to table

Security Groups
When migrating from SPS 2003 to MOSS 2007, site groups will map to MOSS permissions and cross site groups will map to MOSS security groups.
back to table

MySites
MySite copying requires the Metalogix service on the target and source servers. MySite copying does not currently support personal profile information, but this feature is coming soon.
back to table

Publishing Sites
Master pages need to be configured manually.
back to table

Multi-tabbed Meeting Workspaces
Migration of custom tabs in multi-tabbed meeting workspaces is supported. SSMM migrates Web Parts on the default tabs.
back to table

Recurring Meeting Workspaces
Recurring meeting workspaces based off of recurring calendar items, must be re-created manually in order to get the left-side date navigation. Content can be migrated over accurately.
back to table

Site Collection Browsing
Source-side site collection browsing is supported if the Metalogix SharePoint Extensions Service is installed and running on the source server.
back to table

Custom Templates
This includes conversion to custom site definitions.
back to table

Template Mapping
SharePoint 2003 custom/default site templates can be mapped to SharePoint 2007 custom/default templates.
back to table

Web Parts
Custom (3rd party) Web Part binaries must be installed on the target server prior to migration.
back to table

Web Part View Customizations
If a list Web Part has had its view configuration changed within the Web Part settings interface, these customizations do not come across unless the underlying view (that the Web Part is based on) is also customized. Note: this is being worked on.
