  • Attach and upgrade the SharePoint content Database Mount-SPContentDatabase

 

Mount-SPContentDatabase -Name <ContentdbName> -WebApplication <URL> -DatabaseServer <Alias or ServerName> -NoB2BSiteUpgrade

Set-SPSite -Identity <SiteCollectionName> -OwnerAlias <domain\samaccount> -SecondaryOwnerAlias <domain\samaccount>

 

 

  • Migrate users from windows classic authtentication to claims-based authentication (optional, in that needs to be done if the 2010 data was not claims)

 

(Get-SPWebApplication <SPWevAppPipeBind>).MigrateUsers($true)

 

 

  • Check the SharePoint site collection for issues that can cause upgrade to fail (aka upgrade blocking = true) Test-SPSite
