Migrate MOSS Project Server to another MOSS Environment

[john]

Hello Everyone,

Has anyone been successful in migrating a MOSS Project Server to another
MOSS Environment? I am going through the steps that I know but am not
getting it correctly. I am trying to migrate the 4 Project Server 2
SharePoint Databases. Can someone point me in the right direction.

Thank you
John

Hi John,

you would need to do the following:

1. Restore 4 Project Sever databases
2. Restore the content database where the Project Workspaces are.
3. On the new Install Create a SSP
4. Provision a New PWA Site pointing them to the old Project Server
Databases
3. Create a new web application and port to use for the restored content
database
4. The UI cannot be used to set the content db so…
stsadm -o addcontentdb -url http://<servername>:<port>/ -databasename
<dbname> - databaseserver <servername>
5. Set the user accounts, and either run the script to set the
WSTS_SERVER_UID or Edit Site Address manually
6. You will not get any of the WSS customizations of PWA when using this
method.

Hope this helps to begin with......

Regards,

Dharmesh
