Re: migration to new hardware

Hey Kevin,

Sounds like you are going to migrade a DC, and my answer will be the same: Use a temp DC. There might be other methods where you do not need to use a temp DC, but I wont consider them as a safe method.

For some reason my post didn't went through but here is my question:


Hi,

I know alot people have ask this question about migration to new hardware and what the best method is? I heard most of the answer is Swing Method but it required you to have 3 servers isn't it? Correct me if i'm wrong. We currently only have 1 server and planning to buy a new one. So can we still use swing without a tempDC ?
