What is required to upgrade from Microsoft Project Professional Server 2003
to 2007.
Your question is vague.
Are you wondering:
What licenses are required? Talk with your Microsoft sales channel.
What hardware is required?
Generally similar levels of hardware to 2003. The queueing engine
reduces the dependencies on the speed of the server. I think the
official requirement is 2GB RAM, dual processor for an "All-in-one"
server configuration.
What planning is required?
Depends on how much re-configuration to take advantage of new
features, such as timesheets and new security options, you are
planning on.
What knowledge is required?
Don't expect to install Project Server 2007 for the first time and
migrate for the first time without running into problems. You should
plan on doing this one or two times in a practice environment before
you try for the real thing.
Search on the web for Project server 2007 migration and you will find
the Microsoft migration guide.
If you have custom solutions built for 2003, you will need to plan
carefully on how to migrate those to 2007. Project Pro items, such as
macros will probably pose little problem in migration, but code
accessing the server, via PDS or SQL / database connections will need
to be rewritten.
