I am installing vault server on a new server. How do I reinstall and keep the current database.

First, uninstall the existing Vault Server. When prompted, choose to Keep the database. (You might want to back up the database first).

Next, install Vault on the new Vault Server machine, pointing at the current database location. If Vault is on a different machine than SQL Server use a custom account for the IIS Process model for Windows Authentication or use SQL Server authentication.

If you use SQL Server authentication, the installer will prompt you for an account. This account should have SA or equivalent privileges so the installer can create the sgvaultuser account and login. The SA account is only used during the installation.

The installer will detect the database and ask if you want to keep it. Say Yes.
