ServerProtect Normal Server Migration Tool

The ServerProtect™ Normal Server Migration Tool is a Windows-based tool that helps migrate computers running ServerProtect Normal Server to OfficeScan client.

System Requirements

The ServerProtect Normal Server Migration Tool shares the same hardware and software specification of the OfficeScan server. Run the tool on Windows NT/2000/XP/Server 2003 computers.

When uninstallation of the ServerProtect Normal server is successful, it installs OfficeScan client. However, it does not preserve and migrate the ServerProtect Normal server's settings to OfficeScan client settings.

Installing the Server Protect Normal Server Migration Tool

On the OfficeScan server computer, open \OfficeScan\PCCSRV\Admin\Utility\SPNSXfr and copy the files SPNSXfr.exe and SPNSX.ini to \PCCSRV\Admin.

Use the local/domain administrator account to access the client computer. If you log on the remote computers with insufficient privileges, such as "Guest" or "Normal user", you will not be able to perform installation.

To use the Server Protect Normal Server Migration Tool:

  1. Double click the SPNSXfr.exe file to open the tool. The Server Protect Normal Server Migration Tool console opens.

  2. Select the OfficeScan server. The path of the OfficeScan server appears under OfficeScan server path. If it is incorrect, click Browse and select the PCCSRV folder in the directory where you installed OfficeScan.

    To enable the tool to automatically find the OfficeScan server again the next time you open the tool, select Auto find OfficeScan server (selected by default).

  1. Select the computers running ServerProtect Normal Server on which to perform the migration by clicking one of the following under Target computer:

  2. Windows network tree: Displays a tree of domains on your network. To select computers by this method, click the domains on which to search for client computers.

  3. Information Server name: Search by Information Server name. To select computers by this method, type the name of an Information Server on your network in the text box. To search for multiple Information Servers, enter a semicolon ";" between server names.

  4. Certain Normal Server name: Search by Normal Server name. To select computers by this method, type the name of a Normal Server on your network in the text box. To search for multiple Normal Servers, enter a semicolon ";" between server names.

  5. IP range search: Search by a range of IP addresses. To select computers by this method, type a range of class B IP addresses under IP range.

  6. Note: If a DNS server on your network does not respond when searching for clients, the search will hang. Wait for the search to time out.

  1. Select to include computers running Windows Server 2003 in the search.

  2. Select to restart computers running Windows Server 2003. For the migration to complete successfully on Windows 2003 computers, the computer must restart. Selecting this check box ensures that it automatically restarts. If you do not choose to automatically restart, you must restart the computer manually after migration.

  3. Click Search. The search results appear under ServerProtect Normal Servers.

  4. Click the computers on which to perform the migration.

If a user name and password are required to log on the target computers, do the following:

  1. Select Use group account/password.

  2. Click Set User Logon Account.

  3. In the window that opens, type the user name and password.

  4. Click OK.

  5. Click Ask again if logon is unsuccessful to be able to type the user name and password again during the migration process if you are unable to log on.

  1. Click Migrate.
