We're trying to migrate servers and have around 100 DSN's setup
currently. Is there a way to migrate various data source names (e.g.
Access, SQL Server and MySQL) from a source server to a target server
keeping all of the information intact (e.g. username, password, DSN,
description, etc)?

Your help would be most appreciated!

Thanks,

Jason

Most of the information can get transferred by opening the Registry Editor
(regedit.exe) and exporting the key(s)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI for each user. I would not
recommend exporting the ODBCINST.INI keys because some components need to be
registered and this would not do it. So, export the specified keys, install
the drivers and import the keys. You should also copy the ODBC.INI file
from the Windows folder.

JasonK,

Please try out our free ODBC manager (www.sqledit.com/odbc). The program
allows you to audit local and remote data source definitions, remove DSNs
and import definitions created on one of the computers on a remote system
right from your workplace.
