We currently have a Site Collection in place on one of our servers which is simply the equivalent content of a subsite (i.e. there are no subsites below it). Since the structure of our new SharePoint installation makes more sense now, we would like to migrate the content of our old Sharepoint Site Collection as a subsite of our new SharePoint installation. Is there a way to accomplish this without writing custom code? Thanks.

can you try STSADM -O export to get a backup and do a restore st your target location by STSADM -O import. STSADM treats a site collection root as any site.

There is other way of doing it if you don’t have server access, do it from SharePoint UI. Basically you export site as template and then create site based on that template. Note this method does not work with Publish Sites. Even with method which Nagesh mentioned publishing template may experience trouble while using stsadm method. It depends on what contents and customization have gone in creating the existing site. To Export the site as template 1. Site Settings (Need to be a site collection admin) 2. Save Site as Template 3. Open Site Template gallery and click on the name of site template which you just exported. 4. Save the file when prompted To Create site based on the template 1. Site Settings (Need to be a site collection admin) 2. Site Template Gallery 3. Upload file 4. Select the file which you save in export method 5. Now from create page you will see this site under available site template which you can use to create the site Sameer Dhoot My Blog : http://sharemypoint.in/
