  Upgrade to GP 10 SQL 2005 Reply Contact I am new to GP but have worked with many of Microsoft's products.  I need to take our GP 9 sp 2 install running with a SQL 2000 database and move it to antoher server (new hardware) running Windows 2003 and SQL 2005 SP2.  At the same time I would also like to upgrade to GP 10 and Service Pack 2 for 10GP .  I am looking for some words of wisdom on which to do first (SQL or APP) and any particular items I should look out for when installing on the new server.  Thanks Mark

  Re: Upgrade to GP 10 SQL 2005 Reply Contact Hey Mark--   I generally do the upgrade first (if the old box is sufficient) and then move to keep the new box as clean as possible-- but that is just my personal preference.  As far as words of wisdom, make sure you review the upgrade information as well as the information on moving to a new SQL server thoroughly before you begin.  As the process is a bit different than a standard product upgrade. Also, make sure you consider the impact of the upgrade and move on other integrating products (FRx Report Designer, Business Portal, etc) that you use.  Here are some links to help you out...  Information on upgrading... https://mbs.microsoft.com/customersource/support/documentation/installationandsetupguides/gp10_upgrade.htm?printpage=false Transferring to a new SQL Server... https://mbs.microsoft.com/knowledgebase/KBDisplay.aspx?WTNTZSMNWUKNTMMYQLYTNSUKZPXKMUNVMKVZZXSTSMYWUNMYPOYXKYTZNUXNLSMK  Take care, Christina   Check out my new blog, http://dynamicsgpland.blogspot.com/
