Server Migration Wizard to move domain

Hi All I am pretty sure I know what the answer is going to be but just interested to see if anyone has tried it. I have a customer on EV 10 and want to to go to EV 12. Original plan was to upgrade...

    Hi SolarP,

    I would not advice to move it this way, you will have to go through several steps within a domain move.

    There also is a Veritas document for this one.

    I would first upgrade to 11.0.1 then 12.X on the same machine and after this follow the domain migration document (sorry I could not find it right now)

    What about the SQL database will it move too?

    Hello,

    The move to other domain document is HERE

    I advise to do one ot the other first, i.e. first upgrade, then move, or move, then upgrade.

    I have done the move 8 times in the last 7 months, no issues.

      Thanks for the reply Gertjan

      Yes I found the link but the link to the document does not work for moving domains.

      Fortunately I had a copy on my laptop already. I assume that the process is the same for EV 12 as its a bit of an old document now.

      Hi Gertjan,

      The link to migrate EV server to new domain is broken. May I kindly request you attach the PDF document to this forum please. I need to migrate our EV to another domain hence the request. Thank you.

        Hi Sam,

        Use this link: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100038101.html

        Or, on the KB site, look for "Move an Enterprise Vault Server to a New Active Directory Domain"

        Or, use google to find above.

        I did have an issue with clicking the link in above entry. Copying and pasting the link in a new tab does work.

    Thanks for the reply

    They are on Windows 2008 R2 so I will have to upgrade to EV 11 and then perform the server migration wizard move to new hardware in the same domain for EV 12. Then when we perform the move to a new domain they will be on a fully supoorted version.

    Yes SQL will also have to move, currently on SQL 2005. I am getting them to build a new SQL 2012 server which we will move the database to, but I guess that will need to move to the new domain also. Unless we can build the new SQL server in the new domain. When EV 12 has been upgraded they can then move the databases to a more modern version of SQL.

    Regards
