I need to install a new server to replace my old server, but i would like to still use the old url as everyone is use to it, rather than use a new default name. What are the steps for me to do this? I believe it`s to do with Access Mapping?

Hi Mike, thankyou for the reply. Iam hoping to move everything from the old to the new as i have a rather large document control workflow involving many workflow actions etc. The old box has a standalone install, but the new box will have a farm install. the user base is very very small, 50 users at the most ans so i have to think about what would be the easiest option will be, then to know how to move everything. I sure would like some help with this if you have some time. regards darren

Try this http://blogs.technet.com/b/chris_hernandez/archive/2007/12/03/migrating-microsoft-office-sharepoint-server-moss-from-standalone-to-farm-install.aspx. I think this is an answer on your question. Oleg

Besides update DNS to point old URL to new IP address, you should extend your SharePoint web application to the old URL.

How is that done? Sorry for the stupid questions, i am a newbie and like to be 100% sure i am understanding this.

I am unable to create a site collection, all i recieve is an error page stating: The page cannot be displayed because your server's current configuration does not support it. To perform this task, use the command line operations in Stsadm.exe. Any ideas anyone?
