Moving 4.0.0 site from one server to another. Sql Server Express ok?
I am moving an Umbraco 4.0.0 site from one server to another. The source server is SS2005 Standard SP2, and at the moment the destination is SS2008 Express. I wanted to check and make sure that 2008 Express is ok.
It should be OK to switch between those versions, the main difference between standard and express is that express doesn't have support for agent tasks and the more advanced features like data mining. A standard Umbraco install shouldn't use those features, but it may be worth checking if any additional functionality has been added to the site that uses these (unlikely as they're normally used for admin and housekeeping type stuff).
Hi. At a pinch you can use a database compatibility option of the SQL server (ALTER DATABASE ... SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL = 90), but I suppose everything should work fine still without this.

Hi Elliot,

Hope that helps!
