  • 1.  Move SEPM to Another Server

    Posted Jun 07, 2009 04:50 PM
    I have installed SEPM on my server. It's a fresh install. The version is MR4MP2. The live update is by default manage server. In my network the SEPM server is only one that is with Windows 2003 Standard SP2 and my client is Win XP pro. I also have installed all my clients. But now I need to move SEPM to another server and delete the original SEPM. How should I do? If I install SEPM in another server, how do I replica the data base? I am new to SEP, anyone can give me this information to save me a lot of time to study the manual?
    Thanks very much.

    Good Solution Mr. pete_4u2002. It will help many others including me.
    Just to get an idea can't we replace the sylink.xml of new server to the old clients to make them communicate with the new SEPM?

    Peter_4U2002,

    Thanks for your information. I will try it. Just double-check, my original SEPM was setup by using embedded database. Can I use this method?

    yep.. it does not matter if its embedded or MS SQl. it will work. Hope you have also looked at the DR KB article within that :-)

    Cheers

    hi, it's possible, but think of running the sylink.xml on these client computers, if machins are in domain you can have script and paste the sylink.xml, for others it would be difiult, instead of making changes on client only change ( DR recovery) is needed on SEPM.

    Cheers
