Migrate ManageEngine MDM To New Server

I have recently having some issues with a server that is hosting my ManageEngine MDM, therefore I was wondering how I can migrate my instance across to another server. This is how I did it.

Existing machine:

  • Stop the MDM server. Ensure it has fully stopped by checking whether any MDM-related process is running in the task manager.
  • Zip the entire MDM server installation folder found in <Directory>/ManageEngine. Copy the ZIP file

New machine:

  • Paste the ZIP file copied from the existing machine and expand the ZIP file.
  • Open Command Prompt as Administrator and navigate to MDMServer/bin and execute migrate-server.bat.
  • Start the MDM server in the new machine and ensure all the managed devices can contact the MDM Server and vice-versa.
