;-) For IIS you can save the site as a template (if you have multiple sites, save each as a template). The put those templates in a known "staging" location on the new server, pelsonnally I create a folder "0" (zero) in each drive on a server. I put junk in there. It always sorts to the top. For CFMX, you can use the neo*.xml file trick mentioned earlier. For SQLServer, do a backup of each DB to a known location, stop the DBs and then transfer the MDF and LDF files to the new storage location on the new hardware. Then in SQL Server Management Console (assuming 2005 SP1) Restore the DB files (mdf and ldf) from the new storage areas. Be careful to note the collation on the old server. FWIW, I just took the SQL Server 2005 Performance Tuning & Optimization Workshop Plus from Microsoft over the last four days. Well worth the time and investment. HTH, and send more questions as needed. :-) -- will "If my life weren't funny, it would just be true; and that would just be unacceptable." - Carrie Fisher ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;160198600;22374440;w Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:248943 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
