We are switching servers from Compaq to Dells.
Are there any white papers on how best to restore the old system to the new.
We are running Backup Exec 8.5, but won't i have problem with the HAL, Local Groups, Printers and Users.
These servers are our F&P servers.

Where might i get some info on this ?

Please advise, Thanks very much.

To answer your question, since you're moving from one hardware platform to another, the HAL will indeed give you gas.

If you go to Microsoft's TechNet site (when it comes back up) and search using the phrase "Disaster Recovery", you'll find a wealth of information on the specific procedures to follow, particularly if these servers are functioning as Domain Controllers. In particular, there is an article entitled something like Restoring a Server to Different Hardware and that will be the one you want.
