Would it be possible to install a system as shared and then drop the original server and use the shared one? Could I change the hostname to what the original was? Then it would be transparent to the users. Yes?

It's not pretty. With the SSL for midtier and email, an emaildaemon.jar update from BMC and a whole slew of java flavors to deal with I have one ugly mess. The system admins are going to try to restore the server from tape backup ( it's a Hyper-V Virtual server) but it's not a "rollback" of the structure just a reload. My first question is has anyone recovered a scrambled system using this method? Or is there a way I can point my development server to the production database and rename it to take over for the trashed production machine?< o:p> The db's are on two different MS SQL Servers (two sans) and the two remedy boxes are virtual machines on the same hardware. A little spoofing of the Mac Address should even get me my Licenses, correct? Thanks in advance for any insight. --- John J.
