How to Export Templates/Schedules/ Technician Settings to Different AD Instance?

If you install ADManager Plus in a new location, you can export the templates, schedules created, and the technician details in the old instance to the new location by following these steps:

1. Stop the old instance of ADManager Plus.
   1. Start ? All Programs ? ADManager Plus ? Stop ADManager Plus (or)
   2. Start ? Run ? services.msc ? Stop 'ManageEngine ADManager Plus' service.
2. Open Command Prompt (run as Administrator), navigate to the following path, C:\Program Files\ManageEngine\ADManager Plus
   1. Run 'backupDB.bat' file to back up the database of your old installation. This will create a folder named 'Backup' in the ADManager Plus installation folder (C:\Program Files\ManageEngine\ADManager Plus). This folder will store the database values in compressed password protected file format (Example: OfflineBackup_20161129235853.ezip).
3. Copy the downloaded database backup file to the new ADManager Plus server location: <Installation Drive>\ADManager Plus\bin (For example: C:\ManageEngine\ADManager Plus\bin).
4. Open Command Prompt (run as Administrator), navigate to the following path, C:\ManageEngine\ADManager Plus\bin and execute the 'restoreDB.bat' file using the compressed database file.
   1. For example: restoreDB.bat OfflineBackup_20161129235853.ezip -p
5. When it prompts for a password enter the reverse string of the backup file name.
   1. For example,
   2. File Name: OfflineBackup_20161129235853
   3. Reverse String: 35853292116102_pukcaBenilffO
6. To start the product, click Start ? All Programs ? ADManager Plus ? Start ADManager Plus.

After this, manually copy the below folders from the old location to the new location.
