I am going to migrate CRM 4.0 all-in-one server with SQL 2005 x86 to a brand new CRM 2011 based on a two server configuration CRM + SQL 2008 R2 both joined to a different domain. On the "Microsoft Dynamics CRM Installing Guide" at "Upgrade from Microsoft
Dynamics CRM 4.0 Server 32-bit editions", "Migrate by using a new instance of SQL Server" paragraph is written:
"This procedure is useful when the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 deployment needs to remain available while Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2011 is installed (phase 1). Then, the Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 deployment can be taken offline while the organization
database is imported and upgraded into the new Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 deployment (phase 2).
- If the configuration (MSCRM_CONFIG) and organization databases were maintained by a version of SQL Server that is not Microsoft SQL Server 2008 64-bit edition, upgrade the server or restore the databases to a supported version
of SQL Server."
This may be wrong because of is not possible to upgrade to 2008 64-bit edition on a x86 Windows Server. So what about point 1.??
Thank you all for help
