                                                Hi guys
                                                I am migrating a portal
2003 to another server and
in
                                                the process taking the
chance to move to
sharepoint 2007 on the new
                                                server. Since the existing
server has only on web app
with very small
                                                amount of content i have
exported most of the
content to spreadsheets
and
                                                imported.
                                                However, i have 3
discussion forums whic i
am finding
                                                a pain to migrate.
Essentially what i tried
was to save the site as a
                                                template with content
included and import that
into the moss web app. If
i
                                                go to site  settings
and upload the template,
even after restarting
                                                iis the template never
shows up when i go to
build a new site with it.
I
                                                did manage to use the
stsadm tool to import the
template however when i
                                                select it for my site i
get and error saying the
template is invalid. I
                                                think this may be because
it is being saved as a
list template not a site
                                                template.
                                                Unfortunately in 2003 you
can seem to edit
                                                anything in the datasheet
view and you can only
export lists or links
                                                etc.
                                                I would have hoped that
importing these discussion
boards
                                                was fairly straight
forward. I have googled
around for a while and
havent
                                                been able to come up with
any good info.
                                                I'd be very interested
                                                in anyones feedback or help.
                                                Thanks
                                                Greg
