Hi There,
I was wondering if anyone has a ColdFusion 2021 to ColdFusion 2023 (or 2025) migration Powershell script? Specifically, the section around importing the settings from 2021 into 2023 or 2025.
Running ColdFusion 2021, U20 and looking to migrate instances over to either ColdFusion 2023 or ColdFusion 2025 soon.
Appreciate that password fields, such as mail and database configurations, will probably still need to be reconfigured manually. Did a bunch of these from 2018 to 2021 without scripts, and trying to automate as much of the uplift process as possible to save the headache.
Thanks!

In asking for a ps script, you refer to “the section” as if it’s something you found online. I’m not familiar with one, even if in the cf docs. Can you share the link?
As for scripting the export and import of settings, that’s something you can do (as of cf2021) using the cfsetup tool (in the cfusion/bin folder). It’s amply documented by Adobe, and I’ve done a preso on it (with description, pdf and YouTube recording link) at https://www.carehart.org/presentations/#cfsetup_tool.
BTW, that command line tool absolutely can securely export passwords such as for mail and data sources. But if you have some reason to prefer the ps script you refer to, let us know more.
