This email is to be read subject to the disclaimer below. Hi Mark,
I'm glad you've found my suggestion useful. We only recently discovered it and have already used it to set up a couple of identical servers. Lynchy and I figure that the reason why passwords need to be reset on datasources is because CFMX generates a random encryption key when it installs and it uses that to encrypt all passwords (this is only a theory). We haven't found a workaround for this although I wonder what would happen if you just wrote all passwords into neo_query.xml in plaintext. Maybe they would get encrypted by CFMX automatically... Can I ask how did you get your CF5 settings into the XML files? Did you upgrade on Linux then copied the XML files onto Win2k?

Initially none of the data sources would verify, I went in and re-entered the passwords. This fixed all of them except the one that handled the client variable storage. I played around with this data source for a bit and eventually just deleted the DSN and recreated it, which solved the problem. One other thing that's pretty obvious - you will have problems with the verity imported verity collection entries, until you actually recreate the verity collections on the new box :) So thanks heaps Vik - saved me a stack of time & effort. Apart from the above *all* my cfadmin settings came across nicely.
