It is simply a snapshot of your system at the time of the DMA so doing an export/install in the lab prior to full deployment is a smart thing to do. Once you know the hiccups, estimate the install time, etc you can do the "real" DMA once you have frozen config changes prior to cutover.</div><div><br><div>
