Re: Switching Servers and upgrading to 2.0

Hi, Chris,

Either would work, but I'd suggest upgrading first and then moving Vault. 
Your old machine is already configured correctly and the Vault 2.0 install 
should go smoothly, provided you select the same options you did the first 
time.

Then you can install Vault 2.0 on the new machine. In case there are 
configuration issues on the new machine, the Vault 2.0 installer does a 
much better job of reporting what's happening (or not) during the 
installation than the 1.x installer.

For more details on moving Vault see this KB article:
