Answer 1

Here are the basic steps:

You will need an environment (SharePoint Server + SQL Server) for each farm. While a specific version of SQL can be used across versions, it is cleaner if you have a SQL server per farm. WSSv3 needs to be patched to at least SP2. I would recommend patching the 2010 farm to SP2, as well.

To go from WSSv3 to 2010, make sure WSSv3 is fully patched (needs to be at least at Service Pack 2). Run the pre-upgrade check and resolve any errors, if applicable, using stsadm -o preupgradecheck.

Backup and restore your content databases to 2010. Create a Web App and attach your CDBs. This will upgrade them.

For the remainder of the upgrade strategy, see the document at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/upgrade-and-update/upgrade-from-sharepoint2013-to-sharepointserver-2019.

Answer 2

Hi,
I am trying to install Sharepoint 2010 trial to enable me to migrate a WSS3 site but I am stuck at the ASADOMD requirement (file required is SQLSERVER2008_ASADOMD10.msi with a specific revision number of {7009F5D7-4071-46F9-9149-4B674016B6F0} I have read. However, I can't find the specific release anywhere online. The expected version was available in 'Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Feature Pack, October 2008' and in the first SQL Server 2008 R2 feature pack but sadly they are no longer available online.

Do you know if later releases of Sharepoint 2010 relaxed or updated the requirement or if there is a way around it?

Thanks
