Is a knife-edge cutover still possible with BES 5.01?

  • 772

We have a Primary BES with a local SQL Express DB instance running BES 5.01. We built a backup BES by using the same SRP key (after stopping services on primary) and backed up and restored the BESMgmt from Server1 to Server2. We were finally able to get the BAS site working on Server2, but a few services are not starting on the it, such as the Mail Store, Dispatcher, and Router.

I have been able to do this in the past with pre 5.0 versions of BES, but it seems like with the introduction of HA, it may not be supported anymore. Is this accurate?

  1. Been there. Simply backing up and restoring the database is not sufficient. Among many other things, one must run the "createdb.exe" tool prior to restoring.
