There is any guide / thread with steps to move a TFS B3 to a new server with TFS RC
Or I need to upgrade B3 then move to the new server If this is the option, how to move
I use single server configuration, both old and new on the same domain.
Thanks

Upgrade from B3R to RC on a new server

The upgrade from B3R to RC is an in-place process and should not be mixed with migration to a new server. You could choose to move your B3R server to a new system and then upgrade or go with the upgrade first and then migrate the RC server. Upgrading to RC first is the better way to go because there have been fixes made to the TFS administration tool (tfsadminutil.exe) which may be important in some server migration settings.
Moving TFS data to a new server can be complicated by several factors: moving from Workgroup to Domain, from Domain A to Domain B, changing server names, etc. We are currently working on some documentation that will help with these scenarios, but that material is not yet available. Since you are planning to move to a server in the same domain, your move should be very close to a standard backup/restore. I would recommend that you reuse the existing server name if possible to further simplify the process. If you can live with those two restrictions (same domain, same server name), then this is the high-level process you need:
1) Do an in-place upgrade of your old server from B3R to RC
2) Verify that the upgraded server is working properly
3) Back up the databases on the old server and put the data in a shared location
4) Change the name of the new server to match the old server name
5) Install TFS RC bits on the new server
7) Restore the backups on the new TFS server
The referenced backup and restore procedures are for Beta 3 Refresh. We are working on getting the updated RC backup/restore instructions posted. They will either be dropped to the same location, or we will place a link to the new RC instructions on the old backup/restore page.

My question is not how to upgrade to RC. Is how to move from a beta3 server to a new (different box) server.
There is any guides or I need to upgrade to RC then move to the new srever
If yes, then how to move to a new server
Thanks
