Stan is 100% correct I recently did a host transfer and a upgrade from
windows 2000 -> 2003 and 7.1 -> 7.1.2 (not major) and I have an enormous
amount of "kinks" to work out and it was difficult figuring out if it
was transfer, upgrade os, upgrade sw.  I would definitely make changes
to your NetWorker environment incrementally.

Just my 2cents.

Not a good idea. If something goes wrong, you will have a heck of a hard
time attributing the problem to the host transfer or the software
upgrade if you do them both at the same time. I suggest you do that host
transfer first, wait a week, then upgrade your sw.
