38 Part I: Introduction to SharePoint <strong>Products</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong><br />

■ Prepare the destination database server by installing SQL Server 2000 Service<br />

SP3 or later.<br />

■ Using the IIS Manager, stop any virtual servers that are hosting SharePoint sites<br />

so that users cannot access the sites.<br />

■ Disconnect the content databases from the virtual server, <strong>and</strong> remove Windows<br />

SharePoint Services from the virtual server. In case you decide to reinstall Windows<br />

<strong>Sharepoint</strong> Services <strong>and</strong> want to reconnect to the database, don’t delete<br />

the content database when prompted to do so.<br />

■ Decide which domain accounts to use for the SharePoint Central Administration<br />

virtual server <strong>and</strong> the content virtual servers, <strong>and</strong> then, using the Windows<br />

SharePoint Services administration pages, update the SharePoint Central<br />

Administration virtual server to use the domain account.<br />

Note You can use the same account for both SharePoint Central Administration<br />

<strong>and</strong> the other virtual servers, or, for more granular security, you can<br />

choose to use different accounts.<br />

■ Register the instance of WMSDE in SQL Server Enterprise Manager, <strong>and</strong> then<br />

back up the content <strong>and</strong> configuration databases.<br />

■ Copy the backup files to the destination server, <strong>and</strong> restore the content <strong>and</strong><br />

configuration databases.<br />

■ In SQL Server, change the database ownership <strong>and</strong> permissions for the configuration<br />

<strong>and</strong> content databases.<br />

■ Reconnect to the configuration database.<br />

■ Extend the content virtual server, <strong>and</strong> add the restored content databases to the<br />

virtual server.<br />

■ Update the default content database server for future content database creation.
