Where is that detailed documentation? I’d like to do the same (migrate WSS 2.0 to WSS 3.0 on a new server – in the same domain) and am just looking for the documented process. Source server is SBS 2003 and target server is 2008 R2 Standard with fresh install of WSS 3.0.Anybody have a link to this process? Thanks.

We were able to complete the 2.0 to 3.o upgrade, have detailed steps available.

Microtrash still has horrible documentation for this migration and it doesn’t work. Did any of you ever resolve this?

I totally am on the same board. This is total crap how MS drop the ball for those who didn’t pay for Portal! Even Smigrate.exe fails because 3.0 site already have the template (so it complains) and if you don’t have the precreated site (it fails because it need you to have a site).
