CMS Assessment Tool

The CMS Assessment Tool helps a user to identify valuable information to plan for issues that might arise when he migrates an application from the MCMS 2002 platform to Office SharePoint Server 2007.

The tool gathers the following information:

1. Lists of template files and the which features they use. From this information, you can determine the level of effort required to migrate each template
2. Information about your current infrastructure. This information can help you determine whether that infrastructure can support a side-by-side installation of MOSS
3. The tool lists characteristics that are not supported in SharePoint Server 2007
4. Statistics about your MCMS users and roles, resources, channels, and postings

Points to note:

1. The CMS Assessment Tool analyzes and reports only on managed code
2. The CMS Assessment Tool is a read-only tool
3. Must be installed on the server where MCMS is installed
