Hi John and Scott,

I shut down my 7.0.2 server install (on server 2003 r2). I did an OS copy of the entire \Domino directory to the same location on the new server. The only thing I didn't mention in my first post is that it is Server 2012 R2. I then installed Domino 9.0.1 x64. Although it installed fine the service will not start. I figured that as my initial install was x86 I should really use that. So I uninstalled, rebooted and installed 9.0.1 x86 but I get the same result. I have also tried 8.5.3 x86.

The only thing I can think of is that installing the 9.0.1 x64 version has "damaged" the directories that I copied across, or that because I did a OS copy rather than using a third party backup utility (I used to use NTBackup for these jobs, but 2003 --> 2012 isn't compatible) so I could use Backup Exec.

Any thoughts?!

Kind regards,

I had to do this: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21449200

Using 9.0.1 x86.

Happy days!
