Hi all,

I'm currrently running EC 5.1.0 on Windows 2003 Server. I'm thinking of moving EC onto a new Windows 2008 Server. Any advice/tips

Thanks

    Hello Joetobai,

    [meanwhile Jak has posted his version - sorry if there are repeats]

    general advice: Make sure you have the necessary backups (and that they are usable)

    general answer: it depends

    general tip: document the steps you take (not only with SEC but also Windows configuration), try to make them repeatable (e.g. if possible take a snapshot "just before install"). In case it does not work as expected it's often easier to "take a step back" than uninstalling.

    It depends on whether you just want to replace the server  (or upgrade the server OS) or seize the opportunity to "clean up" or to restructure your environment. You could "switch" to the new server in one step or run both in parallel. This depends on your infrastructure, the number of clients, "service times"  and other factors.

    We could give more specific advice if you'd describe your setup and the intended approach in detail.
