Completely agree with Matt here, further to that this link is new as of last week that will help as a Portal for this type of stuff.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/sharepointserver/bb736741.aspx Best thing to do would be to build the new machine as SQL database server and deattach (in SharePoint and SQL) and move the database to that and then reattach the database in SharePoint to look at the moved databases on new server. Then uninstall SQL on the original server. I've got more sharepoint planning links here too: http://www.diigo.com/user/jthake/sharepoint+planning?tab=250 Cheers, Jeremy Thake Readify | Senior Consultant Perth | WA 6005 | Australia M: +61 400 767 022 | E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | W: www.readify.net | B: www.made4the.net ________________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matthew Cosier [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 8 September 2008 3:18 PM To: listserver@ozMOSS.com Subject: [OzMOSS] RE: SharePoint 2007 2 Server farms? Hi Peter, You should have a poke around on technet, where you will find detailed information about the supported farm topologies. Here’s a starter link for you: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263157.aspx I’d highly recommend having a dedicated database server (if you only get one new box, use it as a DB server for sure), and you’re then in ‘small farm’ territory. I have found that this is mostly adequate, but it all depends on your capacity. There’s a heap of capacity planning documentation on technet as well, which should help you determine what type of topology will suit you best. Hope this helps, Regards, Matthew Cosier From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Milliner Sent: Monday, 8 September 2008 4:05 PM To: listserver@ozMOSS.com Subject: [OzMOSS] SharePoint 2007 2 Server farms? Hello all, Just some general advice. We have SharePoint 2007 installed on a single server. This server has the database, web content and shared services, central administration all installed on this server but installed as a farm. I have convinced the powers to be that we require another server – which they have agreed. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how best to extend the server farm (will now be a 2 server farm) and what should be moved or added to new server. Should I just use the second server as database server (or first) . Central Admin Site? Shared Services? Any Assistance is appreciated.
