Course Overview

The SharePoint 2013 to SharePoint 2019 Migration—On Prem course by Koenig Original is designed for IT professionals responsible for upgrading legacy SharePoint environments to modern on-premises infrastructure. This hands-on training covers the full migration lifecycle, including planning, database attach methods, version upgrades, and post-migration validation. It is ideal for SharePoint Administrators, System Engineers, and Infrastructure Architects managing enterprise content systems. With over 60% of Fortune 500 companies still running mission-critical workloads on SharePoint Server, demand for skilled migration specialists remains high, particularly as SharePoint 2013 reaches end-of-support.

Participants gain practical experience using Microsoft’s recommended database attach upgrade method, working with SharePoint Server 2016, SharePoint Server 2019, SQL Server (2016/2019), PowerShell cmdlets like Mount-SPContentDatabase and Upgrade-SPSite, and Central Administration. The course includes a real-world lab scenario where students build a temporary SharePoint 2016 farm, migrate content databases from SharePoint 2013, validate site collection upgrades from v14 to v15 mode, and then perform the final migration to a fully configured SharePoint 2019 farm. Labs are conducted in a dedicated on-premises virtual environment that simulates enterprise network conditions, ensuring participants master authentication model transitions—including claims-based conversion—and service application reconfiguration.

While no direct certification exam exists specifically for this migration path, the skills align closely with Microsoft’s MCSE: Productivity legacy competencies and support ongoing compliance with modern collaboration standards. Professionals with SharePoint migration expertise earn median salaries between $95,000 and $115,000 in North America, reflecting strong market demand. Koenig Original differentiates this offering with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling and access to official Microsoft courseware, enabling learners to train with confidence. Upon completion, participants are equipped to lead secure, minimally disruptive migrations that future-proof enterprise content platforms while maintaining data integrity across complex on-prem deployments.
