Hello All,
We are in process of migrating our old 32 bit applications onto sql server 64 bit environment. So, I am new to this kind of conversion. Can someone explain me the steps I need to take for applications to convert from 32 bit to 64 bit. The applications are built on .net,c#. Please, let me know if you need any more information. Thank you.

Most 32 bit apps will run fine on a 64-bit OS, if the apps are somewhere else and just connecting to the SQL server then there's no work at all needed.

You're probably posting in the wrong place and a .NET forum is likely to yield more specialist advice. In terms of SQL Server, with the exception of complications to do with linked server drivers, SSIS 3rd party components etc. there's not a lot to consider, your applications will just connect as they always did and there's no real change required.
I don't think it's a huge leap for .NET apps either as you're never really compiling into machine code for a specific architecture, it's being run by the CLR which can either be 32 or 64 bit, but I'm no expert - I suspect there are some things to consider here.

I Just read an article n..
On windows server we just need to ENABLE WOW64. It is usually disabled, so we need to re-enable it. By, this it works.
