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 Jerry,

    5.2. Isn't that the latest version?

    you didn't mention it, did you (or I have missed it)? 5.2.1 R2 would be the very latest, please see the 5.2.1R2 release notes for the changes.

    with different name and IP do I have to use the old certificate?

    Using a new certificate with a new IP/name wouldn't cause the problems ruckus has mentioned. Using the old certificate has the advantage that (with a little bit of configuration) you can redirect the endpoints to the new server by simply changing the update location with the policies on the old one.

    or can I install in advance?

    No problem, the old and the new can co-exist (unless you are instructing them to write to the same remote share, or - in a domain environment - use AD sync with automatic protection).
