Hi,

I'm running an upgrade project to upgrade from WSS 2.0 to WSS 3.0, and
as part of it I've been asked to split a single site into many smaller
ones.

The setup at the moment is we've got (amongst other ones) a Virtual
Server with one site (with loads and loads of subsites) of 40GB (!) in
one database which I would like to have on WSS 3.0 in at least two web
applications with many top-level sites in each.

Is there a tool for doing this? I've looked at WSS_Split, but that
seems to be for moving top-level sites between content databases.

The only way I can think of doing it at the moment is to manually move
all the data to a new structure, which would be a little labourious!

Thanks in advance,
Tom.

Hi Tom,

It is actually easy to do. I don't know how much you have worked with the
WSS3, and you may need to have the full blown portal to be able to do it
with, but under "Site Actions -> Manage Site Content & Structure" it is
really easy to move sites around. It may get annoying with more than a
handful but it does work.
