Deploying SQL Server database backup into the new server environment with same name but different IP address

Hi People,

I'm in the process of migrating couple bunch of SQL Server 2005 Databases from the old hardware server into a virtual machine that I will be building with the exact same name but different IP address. (in other words it is using P2V (Physical to Virtual conversion).

Existing application connect by using Database2005 (IP 192.168.15.22), the new server will be the exact same name DATABASE2005 but with different IP 10.1.1.54.

How to make sure that the back end application can still talk to this newly created database without any issue ?

is there any caveats that I need to know or check before hand ?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks kent,
the domain will still be the same only the AD site is different

Guy,
what do you mean by "as long as you also put in place the same logins/permissions" ?
does the Backup of the Database object in SQL Server 2005 also includes the Security & logins as well ?

Arnold,

The different is referring to the AD site when you issue Nltest /dsgetsite command.
But the domain is still in the same name.
Thanks !
