We have a Websense 6.3.3 system that needs an upgrade. It works well but the config is a mess with tons of user and policies exceptions, making mgt of it a pain. I'd like to build a new v7.8 system fresh and then just cutover to it. At cutover time, we can shut down the existing server and re-IP the new one. The existing system is all on a single 2003 server. Any gotchas with building new and such a cutover?
A side question on that, the docs say SQL express that comes with Triton is suitable for small deployments, what is small? We are looking at no more than about 1300 end points.
Anyone ever just build new and started over instead of an upgrade?
