I'm Sharing one of the PowerShell script I used in MOSS 2007 to SharePoint 2010 migration. Since its very difficult to check-in back all the checked-out files after migration, its a best practice to check-in all checked out files prior.
This PowerShell script will Scans, Generates Report and check-in all checked out files. Run this script with Farm Administrator privileges.
Bulk Check-In all checked-out files in Site collection:
If you want to check-in all checked-out files by you, use "Content and Structure" link under site settings. You have the option "Checked Out to Me" which lists all files checked-out to you. Just select the desired files and click Check-in from actions menu.![]()
