    I would think EV Server Migrator works with EV 11.  If it doesn't you could follow the steps in the Admin Guide and do a Data-only recovery onto your new EV11 server that you configure.  

    The TN is here:

As an update to this, the migration wizard annoyingly does the export without a hitch from v11.  When you try and run the import it fails with an error saying only supported up to v10.  So the guides that quote 'Higher than v9' aren't accurate just now.

I've manually cobbled together the new server and all seems to be working. 

I unfortunately inherited this system and it started out back in the KVS days so I know have pages and pages of registry values that I simply don't know if I need.  I guess I'll work with it for a few days and see if something isn't working.  No point bringing padding across if it isn't needed I suppose.
