Migrate SEP Manager from embedded DB to SQL Server at new physical server
Hi All,
I have SEP Manager 11.0.6300.803 with the embedded database and approximately 600 SEP Clients. Our database backup is almost 4 GB and we have already applied policy (application and device) and GUP.
Right now, I have the new physical server (with different IP address and hostname) and I also want to migrate our embedded database to SQL Server.
I also want to upgrade SEP Manager to MR7 version at my new server.
There are a few things that I want to ask :
1. Is it possible to change our management console with the different IP address and hostname ? If yes, what procedure should I follow regarding I have different physical server and also different IP address/hostname without lose communication to our clients ? My point is a little effort to migrate it.
Can you explain the step by step procedure / direction so I don't take a wrong way and keep in the right path ?
2. If I want to upgrade SEP Manager to v. MR7 at new server, is it OK to install it directly at the new one or I should first install with MR6P3 and then upgrade later ?
I appreciated with any your suggestion, thanks ....

Here is a good article explaining the steps for moving a SEPM.

NOTE: The version installed to the new server must be the same version as on the old server. The new management console can be migrated to a newer version once the transition is complete.
Moving this thread to the Endpoint Protection forum for better visibility.

You can go directly with the latest version i.e. MR7
Use Replication method...
