Re-Imaging the Server

Note: These instructions are for replacing current SACCO Servers with the new configuration. =Before Imaging the Server=

Run a Full Virus Scan
Before plugging any USB sticks or hard drives into the server, run a complete virus scan. You need to make sure that the MBWin backup file and user documents are not infected. Otherwise, they could infect the new system.

Backing Up MBWin
Since the SACCOs are currently using MBWin, their databases must be migrated to the server. The new configuration uses MBWin 4.6.1 however, many of SACCOs are using an older version of MBWin.

Updating and Backing Up MBWin:
 * 1) Backup the MBWin server
 * 2) Check the version of MBWin. If the version of MBWin is older than 4.6.1, MBWin must be synchronized from the older version to 4.6.1.
 * 3) Create a new backup using 4.6.1

Copying User Files

 * 1) Copy user documents from the server to a USB stick or external hard drive

Identifying Current Product Key

 * 1) Install ProduKey to find out the current Server key.
 * 2) Write down the key. Keeping track of which keys are installed at which site is very important as the project grows.

Changing BIOS Settings

 * 1) Reboot the server
 * 2) Press Delete to enter the BIOS
 * 3) Advanced BIOS Features > First Boot Device > CDROM (if using an internal CD-ROM, otherwise select USB-CDROM)
 * 4) Change Second Boot Device to HARD DRIVE
 * 5) Change Third Boot Device to DISABLED
 * 6) Turn off RAID. Integrated Peripherals > OnChip Device Function > VIA SATA/RAID Mode
 * 7) Make sure this set to SATA Mode
 * 8) Insert the Clonezilla CD into the CDROM
 * 9) Press F10 > SAVE to CMOS and EXIT? > Y and Enter

=Using Clonezilla CD to Image the Server=


 * 1) The computer will automatically restart and boot from the CD, loading Clonezilla
 * 2) After Clonezilla loads, it will ask you if you really want to image the computer > Y and enter

=After Initial Reboot=
 * 1) The server will reboot automatically. As the server powers on, enter the BIOS to change the boot order.
 * 2) *First Boot Device to HARD DRIVE
 * 3) *Change Second Boot Device to DISABLED
 * 4) Add the password 1nvene0 to the BIOS
 * 5) When computer boots into Server 2003, you will need to enter the Server 2003 key.
 * 6) After Server completes its configuration, the computer will automatically reboot.
