No record found.
I have a server running GP 16 with 3 companies.
I have a new server that has 18.3. installed.
Where do I find the documentation to update and set up those companies on the new server?
Is this really a difficult and time consuming situation?
I would seek the assistance of your reseller. You need to be on GP 16.0.0716 to go directly to 18.4. KB 878449 will provide information on how to move companies.
I recommend using GP Power Tools Database Validation BEFORE, DURING and AFTER the upgrade to...
1) Check the table structures and cleanup data before upgrading to ensure a smooth upgrade
2) Re-create and fix all the logins on the new server.
3) Validate that the upgrade of tables has completed after the upgrade.

David
>I'd first recommend looking at the following article:
KB 878449 - How to transfer an existing Microsoft Dynamics GP, Microsoft Small Business Financials, or Microsoft Small Business Manager installation to a new server that is running Microsoft SQL Server
support.microsoft.com/.../how-to-transfer-an-existing-microsoft-dynamics-gp-microsoft-small-busi
**NOTE: The CaptureLogins script in step #1 of KB 878449 hasn’t been updated to work with newer releases of SQL Server, so, as you mentioned you're on SQL Server 2019 currently, you'll need to use this article to migrate the login information for GP users over to the new SQL Server:
KB 918992 - How to transfer logins and passwords between instances of SQL Server
support.microsoft.com/.../how-to-transfer-logins-and-passwords-between-instances-of-sql-server
The KB 878449 article describes how to transfer an existing Microsoft Dynamics GP installation to a new server that is running Microsoft SQL Server. The article also describes how to maintain the user logins and databases.
For Dynamics GP Upgrading information, you'll find it here:
