Roll back to 5.1?

Is there any way to roll back from 5.5 to 5.1? I didn't realize that our database was still running on SQL 2000 and ran the upgrade to NCM 5.5. Now I cannot finish the upgrade as the Config wizard won't run. It is Friday and I can't upgrade the DB to 2005. Is it possible to roll back to 5.1 and how would I do this?

Hi,

Yes it is possible.

1) Uninstall NCM 5.5

2) Restore a backup of your DB prior to the upgrade.

3) Install NCM 5.1 and connect it to the restored database.

4) Restore your Jobs, Scripts, Custom Templates etc..

See Moving Orion Network Configuration Manager section in the Administration Guide (page 36 of the PDF) for further details:

Thanks for the info. I wound up just upgraded the database to 2005. I would have had to do it anyways.
