Re: SQL 2014 to 2019 Migration Utility on DC
Hi, there. Possible to get another follow up here? 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?250Views0likes0CommentsRe: 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?278Views0likes1CommentRe: 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?411Views1like0CommentsMoving 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.Solved2.2KViews0likes2Comments
