STEPS TO ATTACH AND DETTACH THE DB FROM SQL 2005

TO SQL 2008 ON SAME SERVER.

From my test machine, I have EPO 4.6.5 running with sql
2005 Expess version ( 9.0.0.4035) SQl 2005 SP3.

NOTE: Need to remove the dependencies of the existing SQL services with
epo services, as steps CAUTION: This article contains information about
opening or modifying the registry.
The following information is intended for System Administrators. Registry
modifications are irreversible and could cause system failure if done
incorrectly.

Before proceeding, McAfee strongly recommends backing up

your registry and understanding the restore process. For more
information, see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256986.

Do not run a .REG file that is not confirmed to be a genuine registry

import file.

1. Click Start, Run, type regedit and click OK.

2. Go to [HKLMSystemCurrent ControlSetServicesMCAFEEEVENTPARERSRV].
3. Right-click DependOnService and select Delete.
4. Go to [HKLMSystemCurrent ControlSetServicesMCAFEEAPACHESRV].

5. Right-click DependOnService and select Delete.

Fresh Installing the SQL 2008 R2 SP1

Express from server running with SQL 2005 Express version.

Note: SQL can be installed multiple versions on same
server.

The above screenshot is for the SQL 2008 R2 SP1 64bit

installation, so you can see the path: C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\
Whereas the Previous sql 2005 Express is 32bit and path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\Data
So, The new installation will be pointing to different path
and only few components related to 32bit will be installed
on the default path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL
Server.

Note: If still have any concerns, you can change the path,
which helps confusion, while attaching the DB from 2005
to 2008. More information will be avail in coming slides.

The above snapshot is very important, as you can it ask

for the instance name, I given custom name as
EPO2008.
It specifies the new instance location as: C:\Program
Files\Microsoft SQL Server\
Sql Server directory path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL
Server\MSSQL10_50.EPO2008

The snapshot clearly tells still folder:

MSSQL10_50.EPO2008 is not created, and it will only after
configuring the instance name and path.
Above screenshot, shows the other instance names, Path
and versions avail on this server.

The above snapshot is for the credentials, you can leave

as DEFAULT or click on use the same account button and
add the administrator and password.
I suggest, to leave with defaults. Since next screen it will
pick the administrator credentials.

Here, If you are created the SQL user specify OR leave

with windows credentials and then install the SQL
management studio 2008 for 64bit and connect with
instance (my ex:EPO2008) and then create the sql user
and update core/config

The above snapshot, with path of the epodb from sql 2005
( EPOSERVER Instance) and new path of SQL 2008 installed,
without the epo db.

NOTE: Before Dettaching, please stop the EPO Services

After dettaching, the EPO DB will be removed from the list, but
you can see the MDF and LDF file available from same location.

Manually copied the MDF and LDF file to SQL 2008

location.

Now, disconnect and try to reconnect with the specified

instance name: [EPO2008 from my example]

Connected with MASTER ( Default DB), Right click on DATABASESSelect: ATTACH as below

Note: I have manually copied the MDF files to new

location, beacause the default path is the same, so it will
pointing to this MDF file easily.

The snapshot below, shows the status of the EPO DB is reporting

to which Instance, and based on the instace and SQL build
number, we come to know it is sql 2008 and managed by
EPO2008 Instance.

The next step to update these changes to Core/config,

which helps to connect the EPO console from the new
instance.
Note: From the core/config page, it is not required to
specify the instance name, the db connects with the Port
number, and every instance have different ports, from the
SQL configuration manager, you can see all the instances
and its properties.
Once you check the TCP/IP protocol for EPO2008 Instance,
and you can update the same port in the core/config and if
needed with sql authentication or with default windows
authentication.

NOTE: Check the snapshot as below, I have opened the

SQL configuration manager from sql 2005 and 2008, By
default the TCP/IP is disabled from the SQL2008, and only
listing with 2008 Instance. Please enable the tcp/ip, Name
Pipes and restart the SQl EPO2008 service.

After restarting the SQL service for EPO2008 instance, you

can see the TCP port visible.
>> Now, you need to start only EPO application server
service, and other two services will wont start, because
the DB pointing earlier is dettached.
So, Presently you cant login to
https://<EPO IP>:8443/core/orionSplashScreen.do
But, You can login with https://localhost:8443/core/config
and see the snapshot the core/config is reflecting with old
data, so I will remove the instance name and then update
new port (49305 as my example).

Creating the new sql user from sql management studio, by

logging in with EPO2008 Instance.
>> Right click on SQL server 10.50.2500 properties s
ecurity tab check it is mixed mode, if not select SQL and

Windows and Mandatory to restart the sql services and

login in again.

After creating the User ( ex:EPOSA), updating the

information in core/config and testing the connection. If it
is successful, Apply and restart the EPO services.
NOTE: Please take the backup of DB.properties, before
making any changes from core/config, This is
Recommended.

Default Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mcafee\ePolicy

Orchestrator\Server\conf\orion ( copy file db.properties to
another location).

You can see Date Modified is updated to new DB located in

sql 2008 folder.
