OK, I may just have made my life easier ... the boss and I think the
easiest thing to do is:
1. Remove new server from AD domain
2. Rename old NW server to new server name (there's a procedure for that
somewhere, I believe)
3. Take final bootstrap backup with new server name.
4. Remove from domain.
5. Power on new hardware, and rename to desired new name, and join
domain
6. Do a D/R recover ("mmrecov") of Networker, using the bootstrap made
in
step 3
Have I missed anything? It's that procedure to rename the NW server that
I
now have to go investigate ...
