Question

Guys. 
 Our ARS version has been in use from the version 6 days and has been upgraded along the way to version 7.3 where we are today. 
 What I would like to do and not sure if its even possible. 
 I would like to install a brand new fresh installation of ARS on the latest version, fresh DB and settings and build up a new environment while the 7.3 version is still in use. Is this the correct way to do it? can it be done? anything to watch out for? 
 
 Thanks in advance.

This is possible, but not recommended long-term for several reasons. 
 The most painful issue is going to be the discrepancy between the Active Roles Virtual Attribute values in these configurations. Deprovisioning information, for example, is stored in Virtual Attributes in the Active Roles configuration. So, objects that are Deprovisioned in one Active Roles configurations will not have the same statuses in the other configuration, and an Undo-Deprovision operation will not be possible. Any custom Virtual Attributes will also be out-of-sync. 
 Is there a specific reason why you want a fresh start? If you are looking to retire legacy components, it may be simpler just to disable them and implement new configurations inside the existing Active Roles solution.
