How to move the backend

This chapter outlines how to move the PeopleSync Console & Agent to a different server.

Preparations

To prepare for the move, please assemble the following information:

• PeopleSync Admins group
  As specified during initial setup. If you don’t know the group any more, please create a new one in Active Directory and make a note of the name. Please add all users of PeopleSync console to this group, if not already the case.

• PeopleSync Service account:
  On the old PeopleSync server, go to Administrative Tools > Services and make a note of the account used to run the service named “PeopleSync Service”.

• PeopleSync encryption key:
  The encryption key you set using PeopleSync Encryption configurator during initial install.

• PeopleSync License keys
  Copy the license keys from your old PeopleSync Server. They are in %ProgramFiles%\messageconcept\PeopleSync\Agent\licensekeys.

Installation

Run “PeopleSync Console Setup-*.exe” as described in the PeopleSync Setup and Configuration Guide, section 4.1. During setup, please enter the configuration values from the previous section.

1. After setup, copy the license keys to %ProgramFiles%\messageconcept\PeopleSync\Agent\licensekeys.

2. If you are not moving the PeopleSync Frontend, you can start the PeopleSync Service now. Otherwise you should do it after you have moved PeopleSync Frontend.
