Restoring Sophos45 on Sophos50 database

boeink_ID

hi, 

i recently  installing a fresh SEC 5.0 on my new server. 

the installation in success, with a new SOHPOS50 database of course (download also completed via the internet).

next phase:

import database from my pld server SOPHOS45.

i run restoredb.exe d:\sophos45.bak .\sophos sophos50 -->resulting the SEC now cannot start.

i've been walking around to find how to manage upgrading the database SOPHOS45 directly to 5.0 without affecting my old server.  so i tried to firstly :

- restore SOPHOS45.bak to mssqlserver,

-run upgradeDB.exe -debug -sourceVersion=45 , from ny new server, it said complete. but the database still empty.

i have also found an article said that the UpgradeDB.exe looked up to registry HKLM\software\sophos\ee\management tools\databaseconnectionMS

so i edited the key from SOPHOS50 to SOPHOS45, and SOPHOS47

niether works.

i need help.

thanks for any help.

    hi jak,

    many thanks for your help. i followed your instructions and it worked.

    before sec5.0 installation, i copy the oldserver's certificate registry, and import it in the new server (as what christian said).
    after installation i execute your instruction.
    as the result, i have 2 update manager location in sec5.0.
    - first is the OLDSERVER with old working update configuration : http://sophosupdate.net (intranet alias that point directly to parent server) and 'sophos' below it
    - and the second is NEWSERVER with nothing in it (brand new, haven't configured yet)

    so i copy what is in OLDSERVER to NEWSERVER. and then begin update. it said software delivery failed. so i update from 'sophos', and success without error.

    next i protect NEWSERVER with endpoint downloaded from 'sophos' viola!, worked. but... it still using Endpoint 9.5. wasn't it supposed to be endpoint 10.0? how can i get the software? or, why is the 'sophos' give me ver 9.5 instead of 10.0?

    plus, i want to set my server to be able deliver update to other sec 5.0 via http? my NEWSERVER is IIS enabled.but i don't know the how to, n dont find it in sec50aseng.pdf manual.

    many thanks for the help, jak.
