Upgrade Pending

I use v2.7 Business Edition on my server ATM. My server is W2KServer. My plan is to upgrade my server to w2K3Server first...... No! I can not afford W2k8Server at this time........(all my clients are WinXPsp3).

First, I plan to get my server stable with Win2003 Server.
Second, I plan to install ESET v4 A/V Business Edition on the new Server OS.
I have 2 questions........

1) Are there any Un-Install/Install "gotcha's" I need to think about?

2) Should I remove/un-install my current v2.7 BE ESET code BEFORE I backup my Server's current DATA?
Thank you very much.

 

Hello,

After you upgrade your server and install ESET there are some additional considerations. Please refer to the following Knowledgebase articles as they apply to your situation.

ThomasC,
Thank you for your perspective and the links. My opening thread was focused on activities prior to the server OS upgrade. Old news! I have completed my backup and now my server runs Win2K3 Server SP2 plus 110 critical updates! I did an Upgrade Installation.
I will use you links now as I dig into getting this new "beast" throttled back to my needs.
