Got RAID on those HDDs? RAID1 would be handy.
If RAID1 I would disconnect 1 of the pair of drives and simply try to bring
the system up with the mobo swapped, it is quite likely to work. ONLY use
DSRM on the first restart (first couple actually), this will allow the
system, should it start successfully, to detect the hardware changes.
If it doesn't work, you fall back to the old system by using the drive which
was disconnected.
NOTE: It can be handy to first copy the \i386 folder from CD1 to the HDD,
means it's available on disc if necessary.

Hi,
The new MoBo is quite a step up:
From a Tyan s2466MPX dual Athlon MP 2600's to a new Tyan s2892 dual
Opteron
265's dual core.
As I stated before, the hard drive and controller remain the same,
obviously
the various chipsets will be different.
A nice horsepower upgrade:)

Yours is abit of a different situation.
How much different is the mobo/processor from what you're using now?
You could simply try putting in the new motherboard/ processor if thats
all
your changing.
The other procedures are really only relative if you are moving to a new
set
of drives, re-install of OS etc.

Hi,
I just reviewed the M & M's .pdf downloaded article, "How do I move my
server to new hardware-3/7/2006". It looks like this is exactly what I
need.
My forthcoming job is not that complicated> I have an SBS2k3 (standard)
server that is running an old motherboard/cpu. All I want to do is swap
out
the motherboard/cpu with a new set. Obviously the chip sets and
associated
hardware will be different, but the hard drives/controller card will be
the
same. The OS, data, and email will remain where they are on their
respective
hard drives/partitions. I have several backups of all data, email, and
settings>just in case it goes bad.
It seems that everyone suggests that I use the "Swing Migration"
materials
from Jeff Middleton, but I am strapped for cash and I do not have
another
server to use for the temp box. I want to keep this as simple as
possible.
I
am experienced,but possibly not enough for Jeff's procedures???
This is my own personal server and I really have all the time I need to
do
the job.
Is the procedure outlined in the article applicable for SBS2k3 w/SP1,
Exchange SP2, and all the other service packs/patches? Is there any
difference I should know about? Do I still reboot into the "Directory
Services Restore Mode" when told to?
Has anyone used this procedure and what was their results? I will post
back
my own experience when I am finished.
Thank You,
Robert Kelly
