Server 2003 Migration

[Guest Janet]

I'm looking for a tool to migrate the logins from one Server 2003 Enterprise

edition running sql2005 and IIS6 to new hardware (running same software) that

will eventually be renamed with the same name and ip. The migration tool out

there seems to migrate domains and controllers.

 

Any help really appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Janet

Not sure if any such tool exists, are you talking about local accounts, SQL

accounts or something else?

 

To migrate from one hardware platform to another a clean build is best with

a well documented configuration to achieve the same as the old build, but if

your after quick wins - Symantec Restore anywhere, takes an image of one and

allows you to put it on other hardware. Takes some tweaking with the drivers

and it often Blue Screens.

 

Otherwise I would be backing up and restoring the SQL database which

restores security and recreating local accounts with new passwords. Not sure

about IIS, sure there is an option to restore state but wouldn't know about

user accounts.
