Migration sandbox

  • Inherited about 190 2008 servers I need to migrate.  Was going to build 2014/16 sandbox to test dba tools powershell migrations scripts as POC.  For my sandbox would Developer edition suffice or should i use licensed version. (Almost all standard edition) Anyone think of any limitations of using developer edition versus full blow standard?

  • One disadvantage of using Developer Edition in a testing environment is if whatever you are testing or developing happens to use an Enterprise-only feature.  You could get a nasty surprise when you deploy it to live.

    As John suggested, quite the opposite. Developer has more features than Standard.

    The absence of consumable DDL, sample data and desired results is, however, evidence of the absence of my response
