In case you didn't see my second post, the hotfixes are always on the old 
legacy legato ftp site.

ftp ftp.legato.com

Under /pub/NetWorker/Cumulative_Hotfixes/8.0

Where can the 8.0.1.2 update be found?  I don't see it on support.emc.com under 
Downloads or on the Legato FTP Site. Is it GA yet?  I would definitely be 
interested in the release notes to see what was fixed...thanks!

Michael,

One thing I would recommend is to get ahold of 8.0.1.2. That's the 8.0sp1 
release + the new hotfixes post sp1.

I'm looking for a bit of advice, specifically about the order of the 
steps.  I'm looking to upgrade my NW 7.6.2 server on Win2003 32bit, to NW 
8 on Win2008 R2 64bit. Oh, and I want to rename it, in the process. :-) 
And I have 130 clients.

I have the Procedure Generator, so I can figure out the steps for each 
phase I want to go through, but what phases should I go, in what order?

Current:

NW server name: Old-NW
NW version: 7.6.2
OS: Win2003 32bit

End goal:

NW server name: New-NEW
NW version: 8 (whatever the latest version is)
OS Win2008 R2 64bit

Should I:

Rename the server in-place now?
Migrate to new hardware?
Upgrade the NW version?

Or is there a better order?

(I will have to change the RES file on all clients, once I rename the 
server. So I may start to do that now, while I plan out the project steps)

Advice/thoughts, anyone?
