Copied product database and project defaults up to server

Imported each and every project from the "moved" local folder, then checked them into the server one at a time

Went to each workstation where D-Tools is installed and emptied the SI5 projects folder before reconnecting

A very tedious process, but it worked! If I'd had a few hundred projects to deal with, this would have been unmanageable. I hope you guys get this procedure sorted out. I could not get it to work no matter how many times I tried.

I to followed the instructions and if it were not for your post I would still be scratching my head. What project defaults do I need to copy to the new server?

The restore database feature in LanSync does not seem to work and if you depend on it for recovery I would take other measures.

D-Tools please streamline this process or update the document on moving the server. Makes me wonder if I am missing any information such as labor rates, company logos, etc. I guess I will find out when I create my next project.
