So I am about to start this. I have stopped NW on the old server, and am 
copying the \nsr folder tree to a temp folder on the new server. Then I 
will remove the old NW server from the Windows domain, change the name, 
shut it down.

Go to the new NW server, rename it to the old name, install NW, install 
tape library, load latest bootstrap tape, run mmrecov, shutdown, move the 
"index" folder to the \nsr folder structure, re-start NW. (that way I 
don't need to "nsrck -L7")

Tomorrow re-license.


Sound about right?
