The document provides an overview of upgrading from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013. It discusses the supported upgrade paths and that an in-place upgrade is not supported. It covers pre-upgrade tasks like assessing service applications to upgrade, testing the upgrade process, and performing a claims migration. The document then details the process for upgrading content databases, service applications like managed metadata and user profiles, and post-upgrade health checks.

- 3. What we will cover • Upgrade Fundamentals • Requirements for Upgrade • Version to Version and Build to Build Specifics • Third-Party vs. MS Approach • Pre-Upgrade Tasks • Claims Upgrade • Content Upgrade • Service Application Upgrade • Managed Metadata Upgrade • User Profile Synch Upgrade • Post-Upgrade Tasks
- 4. Upgrade Fundamentals Understanding the Best Practices around SharePoint 2013 Upgrade
- 5. Upgrade to SharePoint 2013 • In-Place Upgrade is NOT Supported • Database Attach is the only supported MS upgrade option • Only the following databases can be upgraded: • Content Databases • Business Data Connectivity • Managed Metadata • PerformancePoint • Secure Store • Search • User Profile (Profile, Social, and Sync DBs)
- 6. Assessing What to Upgrade • Just because you can upgrade a Service Application DB, doesn’t mean that you necessarily should • Only upgrade those SAs that have critical data in them. If you haven’t invested anything into UPA or the Managed Metadata store, simply create new ones in SP 2013. • This will keep the process simple. • A content-only migration can be made relatively simple by following this rule
- 7. Upgrade to SharePoint 2013 • Microsoft Approach ONLY allows upgrade from SharePoint 2010 directly to SharePoint 2013 • Upgrades from SharePoint 2007 or SharePoint 2003 must first upgrade to SharePoint 2010 first. • 3rd Party tools remedy this, but for additional cost
- 8. Upgrade to SharePoint 2013 • Build to Build and Version to Version are Supported • But can’t move ‘down’ in versions… • For example, the following is supported: • SP Foundation 2010 to SP Foundation 2013 • SP Foundation 2010 to SP Server 2013 (Std. or Ent) • SP Server 2010 Std. to SP Server 2013 Std. • SP Server 2010 Std. to SP Server 2013 Ent. • SP Server 2010 Ent. to SP Server 2013 Ent. • But the following is NOT supported: • Ent to Std. • Server to SPF
- 9. Upgrade: Chance to Rearchitect • Design completely new farm based on Best Practices • Move to new version of SQL (2012 ideally,) including moving off of SQL Express • Incorporate High Availability and Disaster Tolerance • Prepare the new farm in tandem, while the old one is running – test for functionality and upgrade
- 10. Upgrade: Take Advantage of SQL 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Groups
- 11. Upgrade: Test the Process • Run a ‘dry run’ of the migration process on the newly built SharePoint farm • Test out migration of all content, ideally • At a minimum, a ‘spot migration’ of content should be performed • Have content owners identify if migration was successful • When complete, delete the databases and migrate again
- 12. Prepare for Upgrade A Cautioned Approach
- 13. Prepare for Upgrade • Recreate the following on the new farm: • Alternate access mappings • Authentication providers and authentication modes that are being used • Quota templates • Managed paths • Self-service site management settings • Incoming and outgoing e-mail settings • Customizations (solution packages, etc.) • Certificates • Clean up the SP 2010 farm for upgrade: • Check for and repair all database consistency errors. • Turn off Web Analytics service application • Remove PowerPoint Broadcast Sites
- 14. Prepare for Upgrade • DB Schema upgrade and Site Collection Upgrade is now separate, allows Site Collection owners to ‘preview’ the new visuals before comitting. • Upgrade keeps SharePoint 2010 in ‘native’ format, by providing both a ‘14’ and a ’15’ hive on the web role servers • Avoids the majority of issues that have affected SharePoint upgrades in the past by allowing them to be previewed • Not a long term solution, preferred to move to SharePoint 2013 mode quickly, and administrators can force site collection upgrades by a certain point in time
- 15. Claims Migration Classic mode Auth to Claims Auth Migration
- 16. Claims Migration • Classic Mode Auth Web Apps in SharePoint 2010 (the default) need to be migrated to Claims first before Upgrade • Exception is if you create a Classic-Auth Web App in SharePoint 2013 (not recommended) • Requires PowerShell scripting to be done on the SP2010 Server in advance • Alerts may need to be regenerated after the claims migration and Search may have issues (known work-arounds exist)
- 17. Claims Migration • $WebAppName = "http://old.companyabc.com" • $wa = get-SPWebApplication $WebAppName • $wa.UseClaimsAuthentication = $true • $wa.Update() • $account = "COMPANYABCSHAREPOINTADMIN" • $account = (New-SPClaimsPrincipal -identity $account -identitytype 1).ToEncodedString() • $wa = get-SPWebApplication $WebAppName • $zp = $wa.ZonePolicies("Default") • $p = $zp.Add($account,"PSPolicy") • $fc=$wa.PolicyRoles.GetSpecialRole("FullControl") • $p.PolicyRoleBindings.Add($fc) • $wa.Update() • $wa.MigrateUsers($true) • $wa.ProvisionGlobally()
- 18. Content Upgrade Core Upgrade Concerns
- 19. Content Database Overview 1. Test Upgrade Process using Test-SPContentDatabase cmdlet 2. Create new SP 2013 Farm with same AAMs 3. Create a web application (delete default DB) 4. Set source DB to ‘Read-Only’ 5. Backup existing Content DB 6. Restore Content DB to new SQL Server 7. Run Mount-SPContentDatabase cmdlet to upgrade DB schema 8. Run Get-SPSite –ContentDatabase CONTENTDBNAME –Limit All | Upgrade-SPSite –VersionUpgrade to upgrade Site Collections
- 20. Content Upgrade • Test the Content Databases for upgrade using the Test- SPContentDatabase cmdlet • Address issues before migrating • Example: Test- SPContentDatabase - ServerInstance SQLSERVERNAME -Name DBNAME -WebApplication http://webapptargetname
- 21. Content Upgrade • After issues have been resolved, use Mount-SPContentDatabase to mount DB in SharePoint 2013 • Percentage indicator will show how long the upgrade will take
- 22. Content Upgrade • Second set of PowerShell commands continues the upgrade • Get-SPSite –ContentDatabase CONTENTDBNAME –Limit All | Upgrade-SPSite -VersionUpgrade
- 23. Content Upgrade • Check the status of the upgrade using Get- SPSiteUpgradeSessionInfo • Syntax: Get- SPSiteUpgradeSessionInfo – ContentDatabase CONTENTDBNAME – ShowInProgress – ShowCompleted - ShowFailed
- 24. Site Collection Health Checks
- 25. Upgraded Site Collection Visuals
- 26. Service Application Upgrade Proceed with Caution
- 27. Service Application Upgrade • Some Service Apps DBs can be Upgraded • UPA (Sync, Social, and Profile Databases) • Project Databases (all 4 databases get merged into 1 in SharePoint 2013) • Secure Store Database • Social Database • Search Admin Database • Managed Metadata Database • Web Analytics is Retired • Other Service Apps do not store any data that requires migration • Process for migrating each Service App is as follows: • Create or Declare existing Application pool for Service Application • Restore Service Application database • Create Service Application Proxy
- 28. Service App Upgrade – Managed Metadata Service Step-by-Step • Create the new Service Application Pool on the 2013 Server that will house the old 2010 DB • Use New-SPServiceApplicationPool cmdlet
- 29. Service App Upgrade – Managed Metadata Service Step-by-Step • 2nd step is to reference the restored database for upgrade • Use New-SPMetadataServiceApplication cmdlet to create the connection between the S.A. and the DB
- 30. Service App Upgrade – Managed Metadata Service Step-by-Step • 3rd step is to create the Service Application Proxy • Use the New-SPMetadataServiceApplicationProxy cmdlet
- 31. Service App Upgrade – Managed Metadata Service Step-by-Step • The Managed Metadata Service Application should then be visible in SPCA
- 32. Service App Upgrade – Managed Metadata Service Step-by-Step • And the Term Store should then be visible
- 33. Service App Upgrade – Managed Metadata Service Step-by-Step • Finally, change the Content Type Hub URL using the following cmdlet (note that –HubUri is used…the ‘i’ is accurate.)
- 34. Service App Upgrade – User Profile Sync Step-by-Step • Use the miiskmu tool to export out the UPA key
- 35. Service App Upgrade – User Profile Sync Step-by-Step • Run through the MIISKMU tool and export the key sets
- 36. Service App Upgrade – User Profile Sync Step-by-Step • Enter Credentials that run the current SP2010 UPA
- 37. Service App Upgrade – User Profile Sync Step-by-Step • Create the new Service Application Pool for the UPA
- 38. Service App Upgrade – User Profile Sync Step-by-Step • You must find the GUID of the new UPA using a SQL Query
- 39. Service App Upgrade – User Profile Sync Step-by-Step • The GUID is then used in the creation of the new Service Application Proxy for the UPA
- 40. Service App Upgrade – User Profile Sync Step-by-Step • The UPA will then be visible as a Service Application from within SPCA
- 41. Service App Upgrade – User Profile Sync Step-by-Step • Copy the encryption key to the bin folder • Use the /? to find the GUID of the key
- 42. Service App Upgrade – User Profile Sync Step-by-Step • Inject the key using the GUID provided and the command syntax below
- 43. Service App Upgrade – User Profile Sync Step-by-Step
