We are going to be moving our Deployement server to a new server in the near future. I just have a couple questions.
1. Where is the Change Assistant information stored? I know I have to reinstall it on the new hardware but I would like to keep all the data of what we have downloaded for ESUs within it and also all the records of everything that was deployed from within Change Assistant.
2. This question I probably already know the answer to but I'll ask it anyway. Our network/server admin wants to give the new server a different name temporarily until it's done being built. So basically he was wondering if we gave it a new name, then reinstalled the deployment server software on it, copied the Deployment server install directory from the original server to the new one and then renamed the new server back to the original name and shut down the old one. I don't think this would be a real problem since all the data from the original server is being copied back in but I think the real issue would be the local MSDE engine that would have to be reconfired within the registry and any other encripted files. I don't see a real advantage to doing it this way really but thought I would ask.
Thanks.
