When We built our Moss 2K7 install, I put the mysites into their own DB from the begining.

So our home page is:-

http://corpweb/Pages/Default.aspx

And the mysites are

http://mysitecorpweb/personal/edwm1/default.aspx

What I've been doing over the last few months is migrating all our sites under the main URL (this is for accessing from the outside world with one IP address registered) but their content lives in it's own content DB. I need to move the mysites under http://corpweb, still in it's own DB, so the url will be along the lines of

http://corpweb/mysites/personal/edwm1/default.aspx

We have about 80 users with quite larg my sites, wondered

a. Can I have two sites running so users can migrate their data.
b. Best way to accomplish this move.
c. Can I create a new Webapp and point it to the current content DB

Hi Mike

In anwser to C: Yuo could create a new web application, remove all the contentdb from it and then point it to the current content db.

Hi,

yup that's what I was thinking, leave the content and point a new Webapp at it. I have a test environment I'm just configuring to test this. If it works, I'll post method here for others to use if needed.
