  • 1.  DS 6.9 SP3 server migration

    Posted Apr 28, 2010 05:45 AM

    Hello everyone, I'm looking for hints and practices about Altiris DS server migration, e.g. moving the server to a new server OS (from Windows NT to Windows server 2008 for example), means exporting and importing jobs, images and parameters I guess but I can't find any relevant information in the Admin Guide.
    Would anyone have a step by step procedure or a link to a Altiris documentation giving directives on that procedure.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    Sorry for the delay on this one.For starters you might want to take a look at KB51841 -it discusses the steps required to port a Deployment Server to new hardware.

    In essence, all your computers and jobs are stored in the eXpress database. So at a minimum you'll need to install the new Deployment Server, attach the old database, and copy over any apps and image folders you have to equivalent locations on the new server.
