  • Hi Expert,

    Any suggestions

  • Strongly suggest you get a copy of DBATools downloaded from the powershell gallery and start learning how that can help to elevate a lot of the pain when migrating.  It will take care of nearly everything for you, copy your databases, logins, jobs etc

    As for knowing what is connecting to what, well thats where you should have proper technical documentation about what systems interact with which database/server.

    Failing that you would schedule something like sp_whoisactive to be run every so often, (second/minute) to capture the connections or you put a login trigger on the system to log the application and system which is logging in.

     

    And remember TEST TEST TEST
