<p dir="ltr">Thanks Dan I just checked the OVAs and I do need to change the vNIC I remember doing this for another product but it wasn't documented unlike ccx unless I'm missing it. </p>
<p dir="ltr">My other concern is my signed certificates but I have access to the CA so its not a game changer if I need to reissue.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I have thought about running sandbox servers up in my lab loading a drs then upgrading. I could then disconnect the NICs of the current vms and move the sandbox servers into production. This would provide an easy rollback. Anyone have experience with this? Note I won't be cloning the sandbox servers from production but rather running them up from scratch.</p>

I can provide documentation if needed - it seems that UCCX documentation differs.<br>
