It does at least 50% of the work for you. 3] Make sure that you setsitelock none before you release a contentdb, and 4] Make sure that you release a contentdb before attaching it to another WSS instance. 5] If prescan fails: Stop. Don't try to force an upgrade until you've fixed the problems. It shouldn't be called prescan, it should be called "required-scan". 6] psexec makes this doable from a single server 7] you better know a little T-SQL if you want to automate the process. 8] Microsoft absolutely positively does NOT support any direct modification to either configdb or any contentdb. Now, I don't know your environment, but the one I'm working in right now is a killer. Every individual can only do small pieces of the puzzle, so I've had to break the processes up into teeny-tiny steps requiring different AUTH from different users for each relevant step. I hope, for your sanity's sake, that you don't have to do that too. Regards, Michael B.

Anyone know a good tool to "merge" Sharepoint sites?
