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

Metadata
You can copy documents and many types of list items to a target machine that does not have the Metalogix service installed, but the four edit information fields will not be preserved. The four edit information fields are:
Created: The date and time that the list item was created.
Modified: The date and time that the list item was last modified.
Created By: The user who created the list item.
Modified By: The user who last modified the list item.

Document Library and List Version History
Versions of custom list items are now supported when migrating from Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 to MOSS 2007. Versions of documents in document libraries are also 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 five minutes 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.

Audiences
Audience settings of SharePoint V2 web parts can be mapped when they are being copied to MOSS 2007. MOSS 2007 audience settings are also mapped.
back to table

User Created Document Library Views and List Views
Calendar views need to be manually configured.
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 now 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.
back to table

Publishing Sites
Master pages are now supported.
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
SSMM will preserve list view web part views when copying web parts. SSMM is not able to preserve view type, but this is a rare case (e.g., with calendar views which aren’t common).
