Just an additional point:

If you run Windows and you plan to change the domain then you have to do a system copy.

Nothing, except "the server getting changed is reachable to external systems (which are connected at present) with same IP/hostname after moving?"

Are you running the backup over the user LAN now? Are you using a different storage solution/setup?

Hi,

So all you have done is moved the server ?

Is it in the same building or new building ?

Hi Satheesh,

As long as your hostname remains same theer shouldn't be any issues after migration.

You need to make sure that you have change the ip address in the database wherevr it is hardcoded. Means, if you have any RFC destinations with the IP address, u need to change them accordingly.

Hi,

How are you doing the migration, are you still connecting to the disk sub system ?

If you have a DR plan off site? good idea to go over that plan, that will help

Just a few things to think about, though some may not matter as I do not know you complete plan.

startup Profile changes

Background jobs that have hardcoded with previous hostname

Operation modes

external interfaces

Logical paths transaction (file)
