Just migrated NCM to a new server and wanted to point out a couple things that might be overlooked during the process.
Aside from the standard items you need to copy over and 'hacks' you want to apply, you'll want to port over scheduled jobs. Moving scheduled jobs is a fairly easy process, but it has to be taken care of manually through Task Scheduler. (Use schtasks.exe to reassign username/password if you decide to use a new service account.)
If you are running NCM in a standalone environment and you use Windows Authentication, you will have to remove and add back in each Windows Account. - This shouldn't be a problem if you are using AD authentication, but I can't vouch for that.
(The user account SID stored in the Database will not match the new SID on your new standalone server.)
Also, keep a copy of the MIBS.cfg file installed with the application. As of right now, the latest downloadable MIBS.cfg file from the SW website breaks interface inventories and the interfaces view within NCM.
Cheers,
