Windows 2003 SP1
CRM3 Sp1
SQL2005 SP1

New server has same Name and IP address.  Moved  MDF and LDF files then 
started CRM3 install.  Install would not recognize the existing DB's.  Tried  
Backup and restore same error.  ANy suggestions would be apprecoated.

One suggestion could be to take advantage of the CRM Redeployment Tool to 
move CRM from one server to another. You can find this on the CRM Disk.

Anuj Singh, 
     Thank you for your reply,  as I understand it the CRM Redeployment Tool 
is designed primarily to assist if your moving to a new Domain.    My 
question is why CRM will not recognize it own Databases??

Robert,
It appears that you have CRM and SQL on the same box (Is this correct?) and 
you are moving CRM/SQL together to the new machine?

You are right, Redeloyment Tool is used to deploy CRM from one environment 
to another environment. If you can test Redeployment into your Test 
Environment (if you have one is place) then you can wipe your current 
environment and redeploy it here itself using your new servers. 

Anyway, unless you can do a successful Test deploy you should maintain your 
current environment.

Given current scenario, I would suggest that you restore the database from 
current  SQL server to the new SQL server. Then use the Deployment Manager to 
point to the new SQL server.

If this works then you can install CRM app on the new Server, test 
everything out there and then uninstall CRM from the first server.

Regards,
Anuj Singh
