I think I'll end up with a virtual environment as I'll need to also have exchange included in this test bed. I honestly believe that there's only so much you can test in a virtual world and since I have a few resources to play with I'd prefer to have both environments in place. thanks

I'm familiar with this tool and will be using the quest tool for "migrating" migrating my domain into the new forest. What I'm working on is creating a test domain that will allow me to test and document the migration without affecting production. thanks

ENded up performing a SQL restore and reconfigured the site settings. So this is resolved.

Figured this out and I'm now concerned with performing a successful site backup.

I started a backup before leaving yesterday at 3:37pm and it still hasn't completed. From looking at the logs the only thing that has completed is: Successfully backed C:\SMSSetup.lo* up to \\SMSServer\... This is where it's been stuck every since 3:49pm yesterday: STATMSG: ID=5009 SEV=I...

I need to move to my current SMS 2003 w/SP2 primary site to another server TODAY and have everything as close to ready as I can get it before tomorrow morning! To do this I'm aware that I'll need to perform a backup and restore of the SMS database and its components. I've installed the Site...

1. Right click on the site server in one of the collections > Install Client > Next > Install SMS Client + Site Default >Check Always Install and Repair. I have Advanced Client set as my Client Type under Client Push so I selected that here and have plenty of times to no avail. 2. Make sure...

I cannot get the SMS client to show as installed and assigned on my primary site server even though I can connect and manage the server from the SMS admin console. The console doesn't show a site code, that the client's installed, the client type, obsolete, or active status. I've checked the...

Turns out the CD I was using to install SMS with wasn't the OEM CD and instead was SMS SP2. Once I obtained the original CD I was able to perform and complete the install. Many thanks for all of the help and responses.
