Hi,
Currently, we are running CRM application for 125 users on SQL 2000/Windows
NT. Due to some unforseen reasons, we could not perform
capacity planning before rolling the application to the connected and remote
users. As result, our current database server is running on low memory
and most important is shortage of disk space on the C drive. We decided to
replace the existing server with another robust server, taking into
current and future requirement. With regards to server replacement, couple o
f questions and require your technical expertise.
a) The current CRM users are connected to existing server using configuratio
n file. This configuration file is stored on the users client machine
and and we like to ensure the same configuration file is used by the users.
Due to this constraint, the naming convention of new machine name
will be exactly the same name as used in our current database server machine
. We like to ensure, when the existing box is replaced with new server
the users will be connected to new server.
b) Is it possible to copy the entire SQL data lying on the existing server t
o another server. Following set of data to be copied. Can you
please let us know, which tool to be used for copying the following set of d
ata.
The data to be copied to the new server will be (Master, MSDB, Pubs, CRM app
lication data i.e (Tables, Users, SP, etc)).
DTS Packages from existing to newly built server
All the security Logins
Can you please let us know, are there any other steps which is missed out fo
r copying data from server to server. We will be testing this
process on test box before rolling out to production users.
Need your technical advise on how to proceed.
Thanks
