Hundreds.Has anyone run an unattended install "AND" upgrade of the user databases from 6.5 to 2000?We've tested an unattended install and upgrade of the databases from 6.5 to 7.0 and it works.So far, I've haven't seen much about unattended upgrades from 6.5 to 2000. I was told by Microsoft that it is not supported. However, it seemed odd to me that MS would have an unattended install but not an unattended upgrade of the user databases. We have sites all over the country that we would like to upgrade from 6.5 to 2000 and being able to do this unattended would be the ideal way to do it.My thought was to do the unattended install and upgrade from 6.5 to 7.0 and then install 2000 and do a detach and attach of the user databases. This essentially makes 7.0 a service pack to go to 2000.The only alternative I have is to have someone go on site and do this manually. Any ideas?gmichetti@bn.com" |
