Issue:
Today, I got a request from one of the client to have his
Meeting workspace moved to another site.
I was wondering if the MW can be moved as of the sub-sites
via Import and export.
While Googling I came across some of the limitations of MW
described by Mr. Michael Nemtsev, in which he talks about that MW can’t be
saved as template as of sub-sites to migrate to different sites.
Solution:
Before I say to client that this is I further struggled to
find a solution, then I came across a third party tool which support or let you
move/migrate the MW from between sites: MetaVis SharePoint Migration
Software Tools
This now
support copying meeting workspaces. Meeting workspaces with/without
recurring or non-recurring events can now be migrated between SharePoint
locations. Of course, we also support the migration of the
associated content within the meeting workspace: Agendas, Attendees, Document
Libraries, and Objectives.
To copy a meeting
workspace between SharePoint locations, simply connect to your source and
target locations. Copy the meeting workspace site from source to target
using windows explorer functions like cut & paste or drag & drop.
I tried using with my test sites and it was successful.
Caution:
Be sure of the source site and destination site before you
plan to move items across.
Suggested is to have your client use this tool from his
client machine, because what see from the client side in his MW, those items
would not be available to you.
Make sure you/client do have admin right to install this
software.
Benefits:
You can have items moved of your meeting workspace without any
SharePoint Admin privilege.
This software doesn’t require SharePoint Server installation.
You can have multiple options to play/manage your SharePoint
Sites such as Architect, Information Manager, Migrator, Change Manager,
Security Manager, file manager, Policy folder and manage backups.
This software comes with 14 days trail versions and can be
extended as per the needs by sending Email to support@metavistech.com.
