Server Migration Guide

Migrating Data and Settings

Please follow the below steps to migrate your Impero Server to a new
machine. First, it is necessary that you back up your settings and
reactivate the Impero Server license code.

NOTES:

Certain EdPro files are encrypted to each server and require
additional steps to migrate to a new server. If you require your log
data (iLog2) or you are an Impero Insight user, please contact
Impero Support for assistance.

It is necessary to delete the ‘cleverconfiguration.dat’ file to
perform a successful migration. This file contains the settings found
on the SIS Integration tab of Impero Server. If you use Clever
Integration (US Only) please contact Impero Support for assistance
setting up after migration.

The default location of the ‘cleverconfiguration.dat’ file is as

follows:

• C:\Program Files (x86)\Impero Solutions Ltd\Impero Server\Data

On your Impero

• C:\Program Files (x86)\Impero Solutions Ltd\Impero Server\Data
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Impero Solutions Ltd\Impero Server\Recordings
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Impero Solutions Ltd\Impero Server\ConsoleLogs
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Impero Solutions Ltd\Impero Server\Inventory
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Impero Solutions Ltd\Impero Server\Patch
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Impero Solutions Ltd\Impero Server\ScheduledReports
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Impero Solutions Ltd\Impero Server\Exam

To ‘deactivate’ your existing Impero Server so that you can activate the new Server.

1. Stop the ‘Impero Server Service’.
2. Right-click on the service and click on ‘Properties’.
3. Change ‘Startup type’ to ‘Disabled’.

NOTE: If you have created a DNS entry for 'impero_server' you are required to update the

to update the IP address associated with it to reflect the new server.

4. Change ‘Startup type’ to ‘Disabled’.

5. Install the Impero Server but do not run the Impero Server

application (register).

6. Stop the Impero Server service.

7. Copy the folders from the temporary location so that they overwrite

the following:

• C:\Program Files (x86)\Impero Solutions Ltd\Impero Server\Data
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Impero Solutions Ltd\Impero Server\Recordings
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Impero Solutions Ltd\Impero Server\ConsoleLogs
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Impero Solutions Ltd\Impero Server\Inventory
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Impero Solutions Ltd\Impero Server\Patch
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Impero Solutions Ltd\Impero Server\ScheduledReports
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Impero Solutions Ltd\Impero Server\Exam

Users require appropriate administrator permissions in order to copy

the folders to the correct destination.

1. Start the 'Impero Server Service'.

2. Open the Impero Server.

3. Complete the registration wizard.

NOTE: Once you are happy that all settings have been copied across to the new server you can uninstall the Impero Server from the old machine.
