Hi,
We are using EV 7.3 and planning to change the domain name due to corporate merger.
 
Our previous domain on which EV server was configured and installed was abc.com. We have established new domain and want to move EV server to abcgroup.local.
 
Any one of you has done this type of migration? What changes I’ve to do. I believe I’ve to change values in SQL server and other values as well. Let me know how I can execute this change. any best practice or technote. 

Regards.

This is certainly possible, however it requires careful planning and alot of considerations that you will not be able to get really from a forum.  This is the reason there are virtually no technotes and documentation for this, as each migration is bespoke and there is no one size fits all document unfortunately.

I would recommend that you look towards some professional services assistance. I personally recommend Glasshouse - http://www.evtools.net/ and I dont work for them ;)

Yup I agree to What Don said Professional services would be best who can help you .

You can just refer this steps but would not suggest you lto not perform the steps and get in touch with  professional services to perform these steps ,

Change the Vault Services,  with the new domain\VSA
- Go to  SQL and updated the ComputerEntry Table and under ComputerName, updated the table from the old domain with the new one.
- Restart the Enterprise Vault Admin Service.
- Check the Site Setting and the URL ideally it is  http://FQDN/EnterpriseVault  Update it with the new Domain,

- Then add the old Domain back into DNS and then create a FQDN and CNAME for the old domain that points the new Enterprise Vault server so all the previous shortcuts work.There mightbe issue with Dcom clients

I am also including a link to a Microsoft Document that may help you in resolving your DCOM issue if you plan on work on that issue,:
MS kb article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/259011 which will test DCOM connectivity between a client and server.
