Hi all, I'm planning to move the Data Store (Access) to a new server.
All servers on this farm are NT 4.0 TSE + MetaFrame XP 1.0 (No FRs), yes I
know it's old, but I can't upgrade.
Anyway, I did some searching and I found the following procedure.  Could you
please let me know if you see anything wrong with it?
I'd appreciate it.

How to move the IMA DB from "Oldserver" to "newserver" if you use indirect
access to the database

1. Stop the ima service on the old server

2. Copy the mf20.mdb to the new ima server to the following path:
"C:\Program files\Independent Management Architecture\"

3. Start imaservice on the oldserver

4. Create a new DSN (file dsn) entry in the same folder and name it mf20.dsn
(ODBC -Access)

Go to Start-->Programs-->Administrative Tools-->Data Sources (ODBC).  Click
on "File DSN". Click on the drop down and Browse to where your current
MetaFrame DSN resides. Once there click add to add your DSN.


5. Call on all servers, except the newserver, in the dos box "DSmaint
Failover NEWSERVER"

6. On the newserver call:
"DSmaint Config /user:citrix /Pwd:citrix /dsn:"C:\Program
files\Citrix\Independent Management Architecture\mf20.dsn"

7. regedit on oldserver and newserver

oldserver
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\IMA\DatabaseDriver\Imaaccess.dll 
to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\IMA\DatabaseDriver\Imaodbc.dll

Newserver
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\IMA\DatabaseDriver\Imaodbc.dll
to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\IMA\DatabaseDriver\Imaaccess.dll

8. Stop and start imaservice on newserver

9. Stop and start imaservice on all other servers



Thanks,
