Migrate PeopleUpdate or PeopleSearch to a New Server

You might need to migrate PeopleUpdate or PepleSearch to a new server for a number of reasons. In general, the migration process is very simple and just follow the guidelines below for a successful migration. 

1.  Download the proper version of PeopleUpdate from the WebAD download site. Contact the Web Active Directory Sales Team if you need the download site URL.
2. Install PeopleUpdate on your new server.
3.  Verify that the base installation of PeopleUpdate runs okay.
4.  Copy the PeopleUpdate XML configuration file from the old installation (typically located in the PeopleUpdate\Configuration directory and called WebADConfiguration.xml) to            the same location on the new server. Make sure you replace the new default configuration file.
5.  Copy over any branding images (PeopleUpdate\Images\Branding) and style sheets (PeopleUpdate\Styles\MainStyle.css) that you have customized. This is optional if you                  haven’t customized either your logo or style sheet.
6.  Test the new installation to make sure everything works okay.
7.    Make any IIS and DNS changes you need to cut over to the new server.
