NT to XP upgrade
-
Hi All, We have a set of applications developed in ASP, VB , Visual C++, SQL Server currently running On NT. Now These applications need to be migrated to XP from NT. Please provide us information on the following 1. Migration\Upgrade strategy. 2. Issues\Risks involved in migration 3. Back up mechanism 4. Data conversion issues. Any pointers to existing documents/ whitepapers are very useful. Please guide us in framing the strategy. Also share your experience while performing such migration. Thanks and Regards Balachandar Ganesan. I want to fully utilize every thing.

- I would ensure the applications were tested on XP. The test strategy should endevour to test all code paths. Ideally unit testing should be performed and compared against know good results. 2) Issues, I have had problems with the vanilla XP. You may want to specify at least SP1 as the base OS. 3) Are you going to migrate your development environment to XP? If so why would you not set up a test system to ensure things are running smoothly. 4) No data conversion issues to be worried about. Ant. I'm hard, yet soft.
