Our esm console and database is currently on a workstation, as is a supported configuration for 3.x
For newly released 3.5 you must be on 2008r2. But, kryptiq/ge/whoever supports it now does not provide instructions on migrating to 2008r2 and just like they TRIED to do with the oracle 64 bit database migration they want to charge us for the move, I liken this to blackmail, we are paying support fees, and are on a supported platform, always have been.
Anyways, I would assume I can just install 3.x on the 2008r2 server, then drop the db and import a db backup from the old server, then run the updater.
Anyone done this?
thanks,
pete

I am running into the same thing. I am about to pay the 'tax' to get them to move it but I have to wonder why I couldn't do it myself. It is a SQL db running on the server, probably SQL Express. I would prefer it to be a 'real' SQL server which I do have running elsewhere in the organization (separate from the GE related SQL server), but it should also be OK to put it there too. They don't seem to care about costing their customers' money with budget busting requirements like this.
The way it -should- work is, backup SQL DB, restore on newly built 2008R2 box, install ERX 3.5.X, choosing the newly restored DB as the ERX DB. That's how I approach my CPS upgrades and test database installations. The only reason I don't want to just try it without guidance is I don't know if it will work or not, nor do I have a method to test. I could do this as a step to stay within my budget and end up getting punished for making a small mistake. It is a catch 22.
