Hello
I have the lansweeper database on the SQL server. I have to move it to the new SQL box. What kind of re-configuration do I have to carry out? I know when you turn on the Lansweeper configuration utility it ask for a database - is it the only place where this setting has to be changed?

Maybe there ia a document which explains this process.

Thanks.
Marcin.

Thanks.

My DBA is wondering if we could just deattached the dabase files from the current server and attached them to the new server, and after that recreate the users?

Where are lansweeperservice.exe.conf and web.config located?

Yes, no problem. (but take a backup for safety)


Where are lansweeperservice.exe.conf and web.config located?

%programfiles%\lansweeper\service\lansweeperservice.exe.config
%programfiles%\lansweeper\website\web.config

# Stop the Lansweeper service.
# Take a full backup of the lansweeper database using the SQL server management studio.
# On the new database server do a database only install of Lansweeper using the installer.
# Do a restore of the database backup and overwrite the Lansweeperdb database on the new server.
# With SQL server management studio recreate the user "Lansweeperuser" and give it the same password as in your web.config file (default: mysecretpassword0*)
# Make the "lansweeperuser" owner of the database "lansweeperdb"
# edit lansweeperservice.exe.config and web.config to point to the new server.
# Start the Lansweeper service.

Hello

I do not move the lansweeper but only its database. The lansweeper is installed on the "server1", the SQL is installed on the "server2" - I am going to decommission "server2" and install a new SQL instance on the "server3". What shall I do? Thanks.
