Question for people running Policy Central

[sidewinder]

Specifically the enterprise edition.

 

Yes, it has its 'issues', and Im not a massive fan myself but this for once isnt to do with problems it causes.

 

If you switch off/disconnect/stop the database on the PCE server, should client interent access be affected in any way?

 

I'd instantly say no, but we had an incident a while ago where I was doing something or other to it, and as soon as I stopped the SQL server instance, no-one could get on the net.

 

I now need to migrate the server to a new one, I have some pretty detailed instructions for this from Forensic, but I'm just worried about uninstalling it from the old one. Dont mind missing out on captures for a few days till clients are redirected, just as long as they work!

 

Should probably leave till the Xmas hols, but I want rid of the bulky old server it resides on ASAP.

If you're moving it onto another server you can build it up in advance and just transfer the data at the last minute.

 

I use this method currently to back up our live and 'standby' box.

 

If you need any advice drop me a pm.
