Windows NT Hardware Migration

NT: create the new server as a backup domain controller and promote it to primary domain controller.

SQL and Oracle: much more tricky. Need to install the software on the new servers and then need to transfer the database (data) to the new server. This part is not easy and needs an experienced DBA to do all the steps.

Alternately is to do full backup of your old server and restore to new server. May need to fine tune it to get it going again. You can experiment with this without loosing the old server.

Sorry cannot be more precise as if needs to be done manually you need to transfer instances, tables and database manually using sql commands.

Good luck

The best way is to do a backup and restore.after you install all apps.

If your going to take the old server completely offline try using ghost from symmantic. You will have to reload you device drivers that are different but that would be a bit easier than reinstalling and restoring. It should only take a short time to image the drive. I would suggest doing a drive to drive image in the existing server. Taking the existing server offline and bringing up the new server. I would leave time for plenty of testing. And if something fails you can always go back toyour original server. e-mail if you have questions timber@choice.net

Setup your new server with NT install SQL and Oracal due backups to file on both databases applications on the old server and restore them to your new server Microsoft has Technet Q articals that describe this in detail if you look on thier web site
