The following steps can be used to ensure that ERM is properly transferred to a different Exchange server in the same organization while preserving any configuration changes made to the global or resource configuration properties:
- Contact Simpler-Webb technical support with the serial number of the existing license file to obtain a license file for the target Exchange server.
- Follow the installation guide to install ERM on the target Exchange server. For instructions on installing ERM, please visit http://www.swinc.com/products/ERM/installation.asp.
- Register the license file received from Simpler-Webb on the target Exchange server.
- Un-manage your resources on the source server.
- Copy the ERM database file (by default, C:\Program Files\Simpler-Webb\Exchange Resource Manager\Data\ERM_RCS.mdb) from the source Exchange server to the target server (replace the database file that was created during installation on the target server).
- Move the managed resource mailboxes to the target Exchange server.
- Re-manage the resource mailboxes on the target Exchange server.
