  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 with SP1

You can upgrade Web sites to FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions from Microsoft from any previous version of FrontPage Server Extensions. During the upgrade process, changes are made to your Web site metadata and background structure, and some content is added to your Web site to enable it to work with FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions.

After you have installed FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions, you can upgrade your extended Web sites from the command-line, or by using Microsoft® SharePoint™ Administrator. To upgrade an extended Web site from the command-line, use the upgrade command.

Procedures

To upgrade an extended Web site from the command line

  1. In the Run dialog box, type cmd, and then click OK.
