Sometimes the restore fails, and sometimes it works. -----Original Message----- From: David Dellanno [mailto:david@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: quarta-feira, 8 de agosto de 2001 11:41 To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: bought license, will i lose config if i install over the demo ver sion? http://www.ISAserver.org I'd just did a test backup/restore process on ISA, the steps that I did where the following: This was a stand-alone ISA Server, and the computer name stayed the same. -Backup System State of Windows 2000 to C:\backup\system.bak -Backup ISA C:\backup\isa.bif -executed rmisa.exe -Re-installed ISA with same configuration mode -Restore System State of Windows 2000 from C:\backup\system.bak -Reboot I noticed everything came back even the ISA settings where all there. Interesting. Just to make sure to ISA Restore prcess works -Restore ISA C:\backup\isa.bif, recieved Restore Successfully Completed. The only pain was to re-install the ISA Application, other then that, I was up and running. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Tracey [mailto:Scott.Tracey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2001 10:33 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: bought license, will i lose config if i install over the demo ver sion? http://www.ISAserver.org I have experienced problems with this. Theoretically you just backup your ISA configuration, uninstall the trial ISA, reinstall licensed ISA, and restore the configuration. This process failed during the configuration restore due to mismatched software GUIDs or something like that. It has been several months since this happened. I don't remeber the exact "nasty-gram" that I got from ISA but, it had to do with the fact that ISA knew that the configuration came from a differnet install of ISA. Everything had to be reconfigured. That was a real pain. Perhaps some of the other folks on this list know an exact way.
