How to move Dynamics CRM 4.0 and SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 to a new server.
We are reconfiguring our servers and network and will be moving Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 and SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (both currently residing on the same server) to a new server (both will be on the same new server); however, the database server that hosts the CRM and report server databases will remain the same (the database server is separate physical box from the server that hosts the CRM and reporting).
What is the process for moving CRM and Reporting Services to a new server and "reattaching" to the same old databases? What needs to be done to ensure all of our customizations in the CRM system itself are transferred (custom entities, reports, etc.)?

A little different than what you're trying to do.. but have you considered sysprepping the drives with build mass storage devices, then imaging the drives to the new server? If you're not running any other software on the new server, that may be the easiest way..

Unfortunately, we are currently running software on the new server. Are there other options to consider?
There's always virtualization :) other than that, You should have no problems with the report files, they can be exported / imported easily from SRS. Not sure about CRM though. Sorry.
