New Project Server

[MAT]

Hello..
In our compny we have a test-project-server (normal PC). For a few months i
tested and customised MS Project-server. we have some of the Projects in the
server. I created a lot of views, enterprise fields, portfolio cubes, groups,
ressources ..... i changed a lot of settings. In a few days we will get our
new server. I have to transfer all data to it.
What ist the best way for the transfer without any lost of the data.
Thx

Download the Project Server Disaster Recovery Guide which will provide you
with a lot of information on how to do this. On the Project Server side of
things, it's pretty much as simple as restoring a backup of the database on
the new machine, but SharePoint migration is more complex.

1) Disaster recovery guide (as suggested by Dale) is first step. Download it
at:

Project Server 2003 Disaster Recovery Guide
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...8e-a659-4705-bb95-6bf9a8934094&DisplayLang=en
or

2) If you have been using Sharepoint sites for project then make sure to
move the Sharepoint database as well. Then use Microsoft Windows SharePoint
Services Migration Tool (WSSMigr.exe) from:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...05-5635-40db-adbe-e13ab8684a60&displaylang=en
or

3) I think moving project db moves all the views & Enterprise Template.
(Verify this in the Disaster recovery guide). If not then you can backup &
move both easily. Let me know if you have any question.

I would run this on a virtual machine using VMware ESX. They have a
mechanism called P2V (Physical 2 Virtual) that migrates a physical machine to
a virtual machine.

See www.vmware.com for more information.
