vCenter 5.0 migration from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2

Hi All,

I am currently preparing to migrate both my vCenter 5.0 application and SQL server from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008. In the VMware documentation that I have read there is a step required to migrate the ADAM database and I would like to know if this is required? In the forums I've searched so far, there are many unanswered threads and just as many where this step has been skipped without any issues faced. I am also aware that a copy of this is stored in a SQL table and can be restored if required, but am interested in the correct way of doing this from the start rather than trying to mop up the pieces when it goes wrong. I do have a DEV instance that I will do before attempting PROD, so I want to mimic the procedure as if I were doing this in production.

Any pointers appreciated.

Thanks,

Jon
