From what I gather, because future AO will not run on a single DC any more, small accounting shops are going to have to get TWO server computers (real or virtual) that will require multiple MS Server licenses. Can that be confirmed? Re: SQL 2014 to 2019 Migration Utility on DC Thanks for your reply. However it's not that Microsoft prevent SQL2019 from running on a domain controller, they just don't recommend it, for security and a few other reasons. Can you say at what point current installs of AO will no longer be usable without SQL2019? This will also mean that single-box installs of Windows Server Essentials will no longer be suitable for any future versions of AO. Perhaps you could highlight that somewhere? Re: SQL 2014 to 2019 Migration Utility on DC Hello? Can we get an admin/support person for a comment on this, please? Re: SQL 2014 to 2019 Migration Utility on DC Also a +1 on this. I attempted this update last night for a client (although it didn't fail, it seemed to freeze on the pre-requisite check, so I killed the task), and they are a small shop running on a single server that is a domain controller. And this is a pretty powerful box, with 32Gb of memory, a decent CPU, and enterprise-class SSDs. Separating out the DC is of course do-able, but it would involve major reconfigurations and lots of money for new hardware and/or Microsoft server licenses. So, is there any way around this from MYOB's end? Re: Moving AO Classic and AO to a new Server Thank you. Am talking to the MYOB Rep about this now, might have to involve your consultants to help with the migration as it looks pretty complicated and I don't want to get it wrong. Moving AO Classic and AO to a new Server Hello, all. Can someone point out some instructions if I want to reinstall both AO Classic and AO to a new server? Obviously install the newest versions of both to the new server, then the data will need to be backed up and then restored, but is there a detailed procedure? Also, is there a default 'sa' SQL user password? We can't back up this AO database as nobody knows what it is. Solved
