Hi, Is a site database move from an existing SQL 2005 server to an new SQL 2008 SP1 server possible or is supported? In this scenario the site database is installed on a remote server. I understand that an inplace upgrade is supported. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee344146.aspx Thanks.

Hi, Install your remote SQL 2008 machine, then apply this porcedure http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680707.aspx

Thanks for the reply Bachir. Is it supported tho? The link that I have provided mentions only in-place upgrade but not migration from an existing SQL 2005 server to a newly installed version of SLQ 2008 SP1.

Hi, Both scenarios are supported, don't worry.

Thanks Bechir.
