1) Copy two directories on a new server:
- C:\Program Files (x86)\MyChat Server\
- C:\ProgramData\MyChat Server\ (for 2003 R2: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\MyChat Server\).
2) On an old server, open the section "Tools" -> "Server moving", and specify a new IP address of a server. After that, send these parameters to all users (it sends to online users).
Users receive these settings and after the next connection, they connect to a new server.
If the server's IP does not change after the moving process, then everything is easier — just move two directories from item 1, and users will connect successfully.
If you have domain authorization, then move directories from item 1 to a new computer, and specify a server's new IP address in the Registry file. Users will connect after a GPO update.
