Hello,

I work in IT and have been asked to complete a migration of Sage data from a 2003 server running Micropay Professional Server v12.1. This will be moved to a Windows 2016 server. I found this article on migrating payroll data (https://ask.sage.co.uk/scripts/ask.cfg/php.exe/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=33525), however it does not talk about installing a server instance of the software. Also the clients that are connecting to the share using a mapped drive are running V22.3, but there shortcuts for Sage Payroll.exe are pointing to the server. Therefore I am presuming that this server also has an instance of the client running on it.

My question is how do I migrate this over?

Do I simply setup a new network share and map the clients drive to it? Will I have to update the Sage Payroll.exe location to their local machine? Can this be any file share and does it need an instance of the server software running?

Or do I have to install the Sage client and server software on a windows machine, copy the data over and overwrite files. Then map the network drive to the new location and update the shortcuts for the users as well as the dataloc.ini?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Chris
