I'm trying to finalize the details of moving an entire sql server to a new box.
Is there a simpler way to do this? Can I restore all the system and user databases to the new server?
This is what I've done in sql 2000.
Backup all the system and user databases from the old Server (ServerB)
Install the new default server on a new box (ServerA)
script all the server level security logins from the old Server (ServerB) and create them on the new Server (ServerA)
Restore the system databases to the new Server (Server A) msdb
,tempdb,model. Restore all the user databases to the new server (Server A)Yes...you can restore all databases to the new server.
The following articles provide more information on moving databases to another server:
