SQL Server Management Studio - Express Edition/Standard Edition WARNING! Prior to carrying out the following migration exercise, please ensure that you have a full and recent backup of your FaxCore database. Note: Before attempting the following steps below, please contact FaxCore Support to obtain the required FaxCore database login credentials to facilitate the database restoring process and when migrating the FaxCore database to a server running a later version of Microsoft SQL, you will lose the ability to re-host the database on any other server running Microsoft SQL which is of an older version. Detaching The Database 1. Launch the Microsoft Services Management Console on the fax server and proceed to stop the following FaxCore services: FXC2.Dispatcher, FXC2.FaxAgent, FXC2.Gateway, FXC2.ODCDaemon (If Applicable), FXC2.PrintService, FXC2.RenderAgent and FXC2.SMTPGateway. 2.
