Hi,

Our experience is showing that you may want to just go with UNC mapped paths instead of Mapped drives for your Adagio configuration.

If it were us, we would be recommending that your Adagio and server be configured with access using Remote Desktop. With 6 users, you are below what we see as the bubble for staying on a traditional LAN vs RDP, but Adagio runs so much better with RDP than traditional LAN configuration.

We often see server upgrades to Server 2012R2, including some form of virtualization. If that is part of your upgrade plan, make sure that you have allocated enough RAM for your Adagio users. If your are doing RDP, we would be suggesting 20-24GB of RAM for your Adagio users. Your base requirements for Cores will be met by most base configurations of the server hardware.

Again your overall RAM requirements are no longer limited by the 32 GB of Server 2008 R2, so 32 GB should not be a limiting factor.

And as Andrew recommends, it is seriously important to take the old server offline. We also have found that some of mappings will change to match any renamed directories of the old server. And rename the ADS32.dll in the old server \softrak\system\.

Best,
Brian
