Hello Geeks,

We have one Master Server( NBU 5.1 MP3) + one media server ( NBU 5.1 MP3).
Both are on windows 2000 SP4.

Now our task is to upgrade master server to 6.5.
Upgrade media server to 6.5.
Decommison the media server and move all the media to master server.

Recover the catalog to another server that would be windows2008 with a diffrent name:

Steps we have made for this project :

1) Upgrade both master and media to 5.1 Mp7.
2) Upgrade master to 6.5
3) Upgrade media to 6.5
4) Decommison media server and move all media to master server.
5) Recover the catalog to new server with a different name.( win2k8 box)

Some questions that I have are :

1) Can we recover the catalog of windows 2000 machine to windows 2008 :-As both will be a diffrent hardware ???
2) Even the name of the machine to which we have to recover the catalog is different:-What all steps we should follow for this ?

Please suggest with your inputs as this a critical activity for us.

Thanks in Advance !!

Pranav
