Hey EV Gurus,
I am in the process of upgrading from EV 8.0.3 to EV9.0. My server is Win 2008 Standard 64-bit. What are the steps from start to finish for upgrading to 9.0? The reason I need to upgrade is that I am also upgrading my Exchange server to 2010. Please help!

As AndrewB said, you will need to do an upgrade of the existing EV site. You can't just point an EV 9 installation to an EV Directory db and have it convert it.

Thanks guys! I thought that this would be the way I had to do it.

OK, I have my new server built, and will upgrade to EV9 on the old server. How hard is it to migrate all of EV to my new server?

I have 7.5 and want to do an in-place upgrade to 8, then to 9, then move 9 to a 64bit platform. I know that I have to sequentially upgrade but i have a few specific questions.
a) is this upgrade approach correct and reasonable (understanding that there are pot intall tasks that must be done with each)
b) do i need to upgrade all the prerequisites for 8 before upgrading to 9, then upgrade prereqs again for 9 before moving to 9?
c) are there "data migration" steps i must follow as i move up in EV versions, or just at the end when i reach 9 on 64bit?
Thanks in advance for your time and expertise!

Not simple. Look up
TVS TransVault
Glasshouse ArchiveShuttle
Procedo PAMM
or bluesource EVolve
There are probably others out there too

Thats only true if you are migrating from an old site to a new site.
But unless i'm misunderstanding things, you are just simply migrating EV to new hardware? in which case moving vault stores and index volumes is pretty simple and doesn't require any 3rd party add ons
