I'm on 32-bit SQL express due to legacy upgrades. Guess I should've had them do the 64 bit install before they charged for it. Or maybe they'd do the upgrade under support?
Otherwise, how do I DIY the 32 to 64 bit sql express upgrade?
Backup, uninstall ac and then reinstall for 64 bit sql? Any tips/tricks?
Running vm server on hyper-v 2012 r2. 1 vm running both AC and domain controller.
Clone/snapshot/image the entire VM.
Pull off a fresh enc backup. Sync off all of your imported items, Data01, Lab directories, etc.
UN-install AC.
UN-install SQL express.
Restart.
Run a fresh install of the version AC you want to use - (assuming it is one of the more recent versions that installs SQL Express by default)
That is the lowest drama approach to what you desire. YMMV
