Our CRM 4.0 server was trashed by Ransomware. Our database is on a separate SQL server which is fine now. I want to build a new VM for CRM 4.0 and connect it to our old database for a data migration. What is the best way to reinstall CRM 4.0 and tell it to use the existing CRM database?

When you click import organization in the deployment manager, 2 fields should be displayed: one for the sql server and the other for the organization name.
Hello,
You can manually enter the SQL server name to import your organization. Make sure of the sql instance (default instance or named instance: <sqlserver>\<sqlinstancename>).
Then, you can continue with the import.
Hope this helps!

Hi
Backup your old CRM DB
Install the CRM 4.0 on your new VM, point it to the same SQL Server, you may have to delete or rename the existing Config DB and CRM DB on the the SQL Server. Once you installed CRM on new VM pointing to old SQL, you can use the deployment manager to import the Organisation from the backup,.
