Question

Is it possible to move a Site Collection from SharePoint 2010 Foundation to SharePoint Enterprise Server 2010.

I tried import/export using PowerShell and get an "Access is Denied" error on import.

Solution

Technically, you have foundation in both cases. Server "bolts" onto foundation.

These errors are common. For the sake of stating the obvious, you need to ensure the account you are using are properly privileged. Open the site you are importing too and ensure the account you are using is a site collection administrator.

Additionally ensure you are running your Powershell environment with elevated privileges (i.e. Run as Administrator).

You can also attempt to use the -force parameter.

OTHER TIPS

1) do a SPsite-backup in powershell to backup your site collection.

2) Provision (create) an application on the new server

3) restore the site collection to the application using restore-spsite
