You can move a role to another server without installing any additional software, for
example, if the server that the role is installed on is slow or has limited disk
space.
Before you begin
Make sure you have another server configured and ready to accept a new role.
What you should know
Moving a role to another server might cause a short pause in the role’s
operations.
Procedure

From the Config Tool homepage, open the System task and click the
Roles view.

it anywhere you want.
- If the database contains data and is residing on the current server, move the database to the new
server or to a third computer.
