Can anyone point me in the right direction here?
What do I need to be aware of when moving a SQL 2000 server from a 2000 to a
different 2003 domain (not upgrading the existing domain)? The server has
roughly 40 SQL users and they are all configured to use SQL Authentication.
Is it as simple as removing the server from one domain and joining the other
with some possible workstation configuration changes to reflect the new FQDN?
Thanks in advance!If it was 6.5, then you would have lots of work. But 2000 is fairly
transparent. The only thing you can have to do is recreate the login because
their GUID changed on the new domain.

Moving a Full-Text Catalog from a single server to a Cluster
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction with a
problem I'm having moving a full-text catalog from one server to
another.
In a nutshell, I want to take a database with full-text indexing
enabled and move it and the catalog to a new server. The existing
system is a single server build but the new one will be clustered in
an active/passive configuration which complicates things a little.
Obviously I've read and tried the instructions in Q240867 but this
doesnt seem to have worked and a full population starts as soon as I
enable the funtionality again (so either I'm doing something wrong or
it's not possible to do it).
I've tried to follow the instructions on each of the nodes in the
cluster and on the virtual server but it doesnt seem to work.
Any help anyone can give me in this would be really appreciated.
Regards,
Mike
Are the database IDs identical on the server you are moving the catalogs to?

|||Hi Hillary,
I've had a look and the DBID's are the same (I thought they were but
it's always worth double-checking), the only thing that should be
diffent is that the new build will be clustered (the old one isnt) and
the FTDATA directory is being moved from the c: to the shared d: (I've
updated the registry keys to reflect the new location)
What I'm really looking for is someone to tell me where I need to apply
the registry settings I took on the original system to (node 1, node 2,
virtual server, virtual SQL Server or some mix of everything), or
failing that if someone could say if and why it wasn't possible (I'm
fairly sure it is) that would be ok too.
There's probably something different (or extra) that needs doing on a
clustered installation that hasnt been documented yet.

|||Mike,
I researched and wrote the original KB article Q240867 (before it was
modified for SP3) and because you're moving from a non-clustered environment
to a clustered environment, this modified KB article's cluster related
procedures assumes that you are already in a clustered environment before
moving or copying the FT Catalog folder & files.
I'd recommend that you review KB article 812666 - "How to recover a failed
full-text search resource on a clustered instance of SQL Server 2000" at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=812666 if re-installation of
FTS is required. If not, I'd recommend that you consider setting up your
clustered environment first and then copy over the SQL000<dbid>000<ftcatid>
folder assuming the same dibd & ftcatid is on your clustered environment. If
this is not possible, then you most likely will have to run a Full
Population and take the hit on a long population period as I'm assuming that
is why you are copying to the new build from the old non-clustered build.

John

|||Hi John,
Thanks for your suggestions, I had a look at the article over the
weekend and a combination of the two led me to the correct solution,
I've tested it 3 times and it's worked each time so I know it's not a
fluke.
Thanks again,

Moving a database from Sort order 44 to Sort order 52
Can anyone point me in the right direction on the best way to take a SQL 6.5
sort order 44 database and move it and the data to a SQL 7.0 sort order 52
database ? The 6.5 to 7.0 part I got down (SQL Upgrade wizard). But this
sort order change has me dizzy...It's been a while since I did any 6.5 upgrades but if I remember correctly
you can't upgrade between sort orders. You have to BCP out all the data,
recreate the schema with the correct sort order on 7.0 and then BCP it back
in. Why upgrade to 7.0 anyway? Why not 2000?

>|||Hi,
Upgrade wizard can not be used if the sort order id is different. The easy
way is :-
1. From SQL 6.5 Enterprise manager -- Object Menu -- Generate SQL Script.
2. Generate the script for all objects
3. COpy the Script to destination SQL 7 server
4. Create a new database in SQL 7 and execute the script. Ensure no error
occured
5. Use the DTS utility or BCP OUT/ IN to load the data into SQL 7
If you have huge volume of data it is recommended to go for BCP OUT, copy
the files to local SQl 7 server
and BCP IN.

There is no issue going from SQL6.5 to SQL2k. In fact, it is much
preferred over SQL7. Ensure that you apply SQL2k SP3a after the upgrade.
It will be worthwhile to do some reading before you perform this work.

Upgrade wizard can not be used if the sort order id is different. The easy
way is :-
1. From SQL 6.5 Enterprise manager -- Object Menu -- Generate SQL Script.
2. Generate the script for all objects
3. COpy the Script to destination SQL 7 server
4. Create a new database in SQL 7 and execute the script. Ensure no error
occured
5. Use the DTS utility or BCP OUT/ IN to load the data into SQL 7
If you have huge volume of data it is recommended to go for BCP OUT, copy
the files to local SQl 7 server
and BCP IN.

Isn't there a problem upgrading from SQL 6.5 directly to SQL 2K ?

There is no issue going from SQL6.5 to SQL2k. In fact, it is much
preferred over SQL7. Ensure that you apply SQL2k SP3a after the upgrade.
It will be worthwhile to do some reading before you perform this work.

you can't upgrade between sort orders. You have to BCP out all the data,
recreate the schema with the correct sort order on 7.0 and then BCP it back
in. Why upgrade to 7.0 anyway? Why not 2000?

It's been a while since I did any 6.5 upgrades but if I remember correctly
you can't upgrade between sort orders. You have to BCP out all the data,
recreate the schema with the correct sort order on 7.0 and then BCP it back
in. Why upgrade to 7.0 anyway? Why not 2000?

1. From SQL 6.5 Enterprise manager -- Object Menu -- Generate SQL Script.
2. Generate the script for all objects
3. COpy the Script to destination SQL 7 server
4. Create a new database in SQL 7 and execute the script. Ensure no error
occured
5. Use the DTS utility or BCP OUT/ IN to load the data into SQL 7
If you have huge volume of data it is recommended to go for BCP OUT, copy
the files to local SQl 7 server
and BCP IN.

Isn't there a problem upgrading from SQL 6.5 directly to SQL 2K ?
Thanks to all for the help.

There is no issue going from SQL6.5 to SQL2k. In fact, it is much
preferred over SQL7. Ensure that you apply SQL2k SP3a after the upgrade.
It will be worthwhile to do some reading before you perform this work.

|||According to one of the links Mark listed it seems you might be able to
upgrade to a different sort order after all. As always I would try it first
and make sure you have proper and tested backups before starting.
