I recently completed a move of Project Server 2007 VMWare server and database to the test environment. It was an interesting ordeal. After one mis-fire, it came together. The interesting thing was moving both the server -- by copying the VM and renaming the server -- AND the database. We used an alias on the server to keep the database name the same for the move.
There are two gotcha's:
- Replace the passwords on all the service accounts on the services. The operating system seems to be aware that you have copied the server and renamed it.
- Check the site collection administrators. I had some problems with the PWA application because of this.
We have checked things out and are now ready to perform the upgrade to PS 2010 followed by SP1 and the June, 2011, Cumulative Updates. More on this as it progresses. BTW, I have taken a backup of the VM and database in case the upgrade is FUBAR. Hope for the best, plan for the worst.
