Scott - Thanks!
The upgrade/restore option wasn't really what I had intended on doing. Already had a dev machine I was playing with when the real thing crashed. Tried to move over the data in a fools errand, but that definitely did not work.
In response to that failure, I decided to do the following:
1. Did a seperate installation of the 3.1.0 build in order to (I thought) generate the correct machine keys for this server. Then I could copy/paste them into the global.config of the backup installation.
2. Made a new folder/IIS setup for the old setup. Copied the files and restored the database from the backup. Changed the username/password and the server information in global.config and hoped for the best.
Is there a better way to generate the machine key?
Also, I want to stress that there's something acting funky in SQL. The users in the SQL setup (not the DNN database) are strange and cannot be modified. This may be a totally unrelated issue, but has anyone had this happen while moving from 2000 to 2005?
Seems like the server itself passes the security check to create the user, but whenever you try to login and it sees it coming from another location, you're blocked. Here's what I got off the Log Viewer for the application crashes.
