How to properly move a front end server, step by step?
Hi,
Would anyone be able to tell me how to properly move a front end server to another machine? Our front end server is out of space, and we want to move it to another server, but due to complications such as SSl transfers and so on, I would like to find out if anyone can provide me with a step by step instructions, or a link, on how to to move the front end server the easiest way possible.
Thank you,
Mike.

Yes, that is what the software design for. Make sure you choose the option to backup and restore on any different hardware. If the software (Paragon, Acronis True Image...) does not have a comparable driver for your new hardware, it will ask you to supply driver....Everything in your current server (software, license, configuration, registry...) will be transfer to the new box. You may have to be careful not to run two servers at a time to avoid licensing issue. Other than that, your SSL should pick up OK as long as your server name and/or IP won't change.
