I am having frustrating problems moving SEPM Small Business Edition from our (soon to be) old server to my new one.
I've studied and attempted to follow the steps (solution B) here and it just doesn't seem very clear:
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH183666
For example, when it says: Install the same version of the SEPM you have now on the new machine (1). Use the procedures described in the Disaster Recovery in order to restore the database that you backed up from the old server, as well as the configuration files.
I've installed the same verion but it says use the procedures descrtibed in the Disaster Recovery. SO I do and it says this:
Reinstall Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager using a disaster recovery file (gathered in Step 2 above). When the Management Server Configuration Wizard runs, choose "Custom configuration" and "Use a recovery file".
I understand what it says here but I never get the option to choose Custom Configuration and Use Recovery File.
So, I am a little confused as to what I need to do here. In addition, I thought I handled this part (it found a recovery file from our current server that I manually copied to the new one) and I tried to restore database (again, copied the backup DB to the new server) and restore says it cannot connect to the database and it never asks me to point to it.
Suggestions are really needed as I want to get this step done.
Thanks!
