Hi all,
I'm hoping that someone can make a recommendation or share a good / bad experience with an upgrade. I'm currently running GP2010 on Windows 2003 R2 and SQL Server 2005 with 5 Users. We want to upgrade to GP2013 at least but I would like to make other changes at the same time so here is where we are now...
Microsoft Hyper-V vm running Windows 2003 R2 (SP2) Standard Edition. SQL Server 2005 (v 9.00.5069.00) Standard Edition. GP 2010 (v 11.00.1752 (SP2)) {Dexterity 11.00.0349.000; Management Reporter 2.0.1700.66; Integration Manager 11.00.1767}
For obvious reasons I need to do some upgrades and where I would like to be is ...
Microsoft Hyper-V VM running Windows 2012 R2; SQL Server 2012; GP 2013
I'm open to recommendation for later versions of OS / SQL Server / GP suite based on availability and lack of horror stories.
QUESTION: What is the best way to get there?
My first thought was to set up the VM with the stack outlined above and then "import" the database. Is that a viable option or should I try another path?
I'm a network/computer/server guy with a couple years experience as a very basic DBM - and I plan on having our GP consultant assist.
Thought's? and Thank You very much fro even reading this.
