This issue has been solved. See solution.

Good morning -

I'll be performing this data only DR server migration during maintenance tonight, and I just wanted to verify one thing.  When performing this, are there any settings/policies/configuration that get reset to default that I will need to update once I have finished the procedure, or is everything stored within the SQL db?  If I recall, I thought that a lot of that resides in the registry, which isn't restored in this procedure, so I wasn't sure if any archiving settings/policies get reset to default.  As always, any help/insight is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
JV

What version of EV are you

What version of EV are you using?

In earlier versions there were some reg keys and config files needed to make it a seamless move but the newer versions store all data in the database so the move is easier
