Migrating TS 2012 to Windows Server Standard 2012 R2

Posted By

I have a client who has four PC's and four licences for TS.  Currently they are all accessing the Database on one PC that has shared it to the rest of their office.  I would like to move their data over to our much more capable server.  Making them all use the database that is more suited to share their information. 

Each of the four workstations are all using the same version of Timeslips... 2012.  Each workstation is running Windows 7 Pro.  How can I take the data off of the main TS computer and move it over to the server so that all of the 4 computers can access it at the same time?

Again, the main Attorney is holding the DB and the three other assistants are accessing it through mapped drives to the main PC.  

Any help here would be great.  Thanks,

Mark

    Probably not.  If the server will only "house" the database and main license file, then you don't even really need to install it on the server at all.  Just copy the main folder from the attorney's PC to the server and then repoint everyone to find their CFG (license file) and the database on the server.

    This sounds a bit easier than it may be in practice, but the principle is the same.  If you rename the CFG and Main.database on his machine once you copy it, then all of the machines will not be able to find a valid CFG or database and will prompt you to tell them where to find both.  Take the opportunity to repoint them to the new server share for these items.  

    Advise, beyond these general broad stroke pointers would become a billable consulting event for me.  So try that, and if you need a hand, know that hired hands are available. ;-)

    Hope this helps.
