1. Copy the Mobilitat shared folder from the old server to the new server. Set up file sharing so that users can access the new share.
2. Download and install SQL Server (2016 or newer preferred). Make sure to download an edition that includes Management Studio.
3. While installing SQL Server, make sure to select the option to use Mixed Mode Authentication. Set the 'sa' user password and make a note of this password.
4. Take a database backup from the old server. Restore it to the new server.
5. In the mobilitat (Easy Rides) shared folder on the new server, delete the file called: Default Data Link. This file tells Easy Rides what database to connect to. Deleting it, will cause Easy Rides to prompt for a new database connection.
6. Open Easy Rides on the new server. It will prompt for a database connection. Configure it to use the new database server. Use the sa login and password you set in step 3.
7. Once Easy Rides is running on the server, you'll want to test it on the workstations. Sometimes a firewall rule will prevent you from connecting to the new server. If that happens, add an exception for port 1433 (the default SQL port).
8. Now that you have a copy of Easy Rides set up for the new server, you can schedule a time to do the actual changeover of databases.
