Migrating servers to switch roles

by frank . Updated 15 years, 9 months ago

I have two servers A and B.

Server A meets an application?s hardware requirement but is running SBS 2008 which is not compatible with the application due to SQL issues.

Server B is running Windows Server 2003 Standard which meets the application?s OS requirement if I add SQL, but it does not meet the hardware spec.

Is there a ?simple? (yeah, haha) way of swapping the roles of these machines without a full reinstall of both?

Will the workstations see the domain as the same ID after the migration so I don?t have to rejoin all of them?

Are Ghost or the disaster recovery option of Backup Exec possible options?
