Hi,
What can go wrong or how can I migrate SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Ent Edition Production server to SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Data Centre edition.
We are currently moving from server to server (Win 2003 to Win 2008 R2 x64). Since this case, we are planning to migrate SQL Server 2008 R2 Sp2 ENT edition databases/security/procedures/ETL etc to SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 Data Centre edition. We want to know what can go wrong or which area we may find issues? What is the easiest way to migrate? Anything we need to watch out?
We are also trying to work with our software licensing team to obtain the ENT Edition key. If we find it in time, we may go straight from ENT to ENT edition. Worse case, ENT to Data Centre edition. So, preparing ourself for the migration. Please advise what can be the down side going ENT to Data Centre edition... Thanks.
