First off I'll just say my name is Sarah - I'm posting under our account for the business (I don't want to give Darren any bad credit!!)
I've been set a challenge to carry out our next VMWare View upgrade from 4.5 to 4.6, as well as this we want to migrate our main connection server in a replication group from the current Windows Server 2003 (Standard) to a new Windows Server 2008 R2 box.
The Windows Server 2008 server is currently sat spare, I'm going to build this first then add into the View environment - the main reason I'm posting is to figure out the best way of making this new server the standard instance of ADAM in our replication group, and the best order to do it!
- Do I first upgrade all the current connection broker(s) to 4.6, then install the new server as a replicate instance, then when its fully in sync am I able to change this to a standard instance and remove the old main connection broker?
- Do I install the new server as a standard instance straight away - will the other connection server see this and replicate anyway?
- or, Would the easiest thing be to first install 4.5 on my Windows 2008 box, join to my view environment then take it from here?
Apologies for lack of knowlegde in some area's, its all a learning curve for me and I've mounds of documentation to read through as well as everything online. I'm hoping to get this upgrade right first time on my own... 
Thanks.
Sarah
