Re: hardware change for sbs2003

Are you moving from one machine to another, or changing the IDE raid to SATA
raid on the same box? If the former, see www.sbsmigration.com. If the
latter, I think you probably need to get all the drivers for the new system
installed on the old before mirroring. I'm speculating that it might be
blue-screening due to the lack of an appropriate driver for the SATA
controller, etc.

Hi all

I need help regarding the best plan when upgrading hardware for an sbs03
server. I want to upgrade the mirrored raid box from an ide to a sata.
Had
little success when ghosting from ide to sata, result was blue screen. im
certain that a fresh install on the sata box will do the trick. theres
infos
online saying creating a bdc is the way to go, but i thought that there
can
always only be one sbs on a domain. which leaves bdc of server03 (no
problem
there). if i havent confused you guys, in the end all i want is to
minimise
downtime on the company by having always a server online. let me know
your
thoughts, perhaps point me on the right direction. much appreciate it.
thanks.

Best of Regards
