1) Total number of SEP clients
About 30,000 Clients.
2) Are you planning to migrate existing Server from 2003 32 bit to 2008 64bit? Fresh install of 2008 64 bit on the same machine?
It would be great if i can do it on the same machine due to the IP address and server name.
Is there an option to do an inplace upgrade of 2003 32 bit to 2008 64bit ? It is a virtual machine though.
Actually, I'm thinking of creating a separate new 2008 64bit SEPM 12 server, then configure the new server as as load balancing or side-by-side with the existing 2003 32bit SEPM 12 server. Once the replication stabilized and all clients received the new policy, then proceed to decomisson the 2003 32 bit server. Do you think this workable ?
