We got server domain.com with some accounts and DA on it.

Now we got another server, we can use another DA installation license on that, no problem there.
We like to move all accounts from server A to server B and keep domain.com as the main domain name. What's the easyest way to do this?
So if possible including both DNS names and such (ofcourse the ip's will change).

Hostname of server A is server5.domain.com so I can easily use server6.domain.com for DA installation purposes.

But what's te best to do next?

My plans were to just setup domain.com also on server B.
Then make an admin backup on server A, transfer it to server B and unpack it there, overwrite existing settings and change ip's.

Just before that, change ip's on nameserver with domain registrar. This will take some time to resolve, but since I will be doing this at night time, that's no problem.

Or is there a better way?
 
I did a search but couldn't find it, maybe used the wrong keywords.
Tried help section also with transfer and move keywords.

But you found the link for me, thanks for the help.
I will try it the way mentioned in the help section.
