Re: Seeking BES Upgrade Advice

Yes, I read MSDE could be a little finicky when it comes to external connections, so I sort of circumvented that by installing the transporter on the source (which was the one that had MSDE on it).

Re: Seeking BES Upgrade Advice

The funny part is Knotty, part of what confirmed that I could do this was a post you made I found, probably from years ago, where you posted the exact same solution.

Re: Seeking BES Upgrade Advice

Oh, I see. I thought the transporter tool was part of the Migration Kit. Won't I need an additional SRP in order to make use of the transporter tool? Isn't that included in the Migration Kit?

Re: Seeking BES Upgrade Advice

Re: Seeking BES Upgrade Advice

Including Windows Server 2008 32-bit?
Yes, it seems I may need some rethinking if that is the case.

Re: Seeking BES Upgrade Advice

Obviously I can't get into too much detail, you'll have to take my word for it. It will cost significantly less the way I proposed, although it may not be easier or better in some ways. Don't forget...

Re: Seeking BES Upgrade Advice
