My current MAS200 4.4.08 is running on a server that I need to upgrade, in order to move to the MAS 2014 version. I like to clone the server and then point the work station to the cloned server. Server A (OLD) IP 192.168.1.77, I used the IP address to setup all the work stations, even in the Database path. Server B Cloned) IP 192.168.1.22 My sota.ini look like this: [Config] Serial=XXXXXXXXXX Users=1 Buttoncursor=0 Resourcelib=90wres32.dll ICON=m90 RetryDeviceError=1 Disabled3detch=0 [WindowFrame] TypeSizeLoc=1,570,440,25,118 Caption=MAS 90 MessageBar=22 [Font] Points=11 Charset=0 Name=Courier New Bold=0 LockFont=1 [ODBC] EXTROPT=' (UPDLOCK)' UNIQUE=0 CURSORCLOSE=YES TOP=-1 CURSOR_TYPE=DYNAMIC ;ROWSET_SIZE=100 TIMEOUT=45 ISOLATION=COMMITED CONCURRENCY=OPT_VALUE AUTOCOMMIT=ON [SQL] DSN=MASSQL [Servers] 1=192.168.1.77;9999;APS=SAGE;APPLICATION=MAS 200;Path=\\192.168.1.77\Sage Software\MAS 200\Version4\MAS90\ 2=192.168.1.22;9999;APS=SAGE;APPLICATION=MAS 200;Path=\\192.168.1.22\Sage Software\MAS 200\Version4\MAS90\ [Active Server] 192.168.1.77;9999;\\192.168.1.77\Sage Software\MAS 200\Version4\MAS90\ *********************************************************************************************************************************************** So my goal is to build the second server (CLONED) on IP 22, test everything and then, switch over by switching the IP address on the servers, will this work If this cannot be done this way, can someone help with an outline of how to clone the (OLD) to the (CLONE) server, and if possible not have to go and update everyone's work station. I had everything working and my VAR said I should copy over the entire MAS200 directory, when I did this everything went haywire. Also something funny, which made me stop my transition was the new server size is 27.4 gig, the old server is 25.5 gig, not sure why since I have copied the entire(OLD) MAS200 directory to the (CLONED) MAS200 directory? So at this point I look to see what comments pop up tomorrow, but I think I am going to uninstall the (CLONED) server an start from Scratch?
