Summary What's the recommendation and procedure to migrate an existing SQL DB of DirectAudit not only to a new server, but also to a new AD domain?
What's the recommended procedure to migrate an existing SQL DB of DirectAudit not only to a new server, but also to a new AD domain?
If the new Domain is part of the same old forest, current migration documents will work without any issues. Please refer to KB-3334: How to migrate SQL databases associated with a Centrify_DirectManage Audit 3.x installation from one database server to another and KB-4147: How to migrate database associated with a Centrify DirectAudit 1.x system from one database server to another.
If the new domain is in a new forest, it's better to create a new DA installation in the new forest and attach the old databases to it rather than following the migration process.
The location of domain matters more than the type of SQL server (new/old) or type of domain (new/old); if the new domain is part of the same old forest, current migration document will work without any issues (because all domains within a forest have transitive two-way trust between them). On the older hand, if new domain is part of a new forest, it's better to create a new DA installation in new forest and attach the old databases to it rather than following the migration process (just because it's tricky and not worth the effort).
