Is it possible to upgrade a 5.12 serer to 5.6 without reinstalling the entire server?

I am going from memory, but I believe you can upgrade from 5.12 to 5.6. You should just be able to follow the prompts. If for some reason you can't, you should be able to get a copy of the 5.5 ISO from some other users. I have 2 copies myself.

I just did it ... wholly uneventful. I did take a Norton Ghost image of the 5.1.2 install, just in case ... probably why it went so smoothly! I have Netjuke and various servermanager add-ins installed; all survived. Even my PPPoE settings made it! Very smooth ... kudos to Mitel.

Suggest upgrading or removing any extensions you have loaded prior the the process if you want to be really safe.

Don't forget the firewall is now IP Tables based not IP Chains so anything installed that interfaces to this function should probably be viewed with suspicion.

That being said I have had no probs to now performing this type of upgrade.
