New Install vs. Migrating

jerryn3

I was told it would be easier to intall a fresh copy of Enterprise Console on a new server rather than migrating. I have 55 users. I want to move from Windows 2003 Server to Windows Server 2012. Anyone have any experience with this?

    Hello jerryn3,

    55 users is not much. I've used (had to use) both methods but with a lot more clients.

    Won't bother you with the intricacies. A fresh install requires that you recreate you group structure (which can't be too complicated in your case) and the policies. If you can reliably discover and protect all your computers from the console you don't even have to keep the accounts and certificate from the old server - this would be the easiest method. Of course, whenever you do not migrate the database you'll lose not only the settings but all of the history as well.

    BTW: will you also upgrade SEC?
