Migrating PowerBI from one server to another
1. If you set up a domain name linked to an IP, by setting a DNS record in your DNS-management, you only will need to change the IP address linked to that name once whenever the IP address changes. So in your apps you just refer to a name but the DNS server links it to an IP.
2. You can download the Gateway install file to a server (a Windows Virtual Machine for instance) and install it with the right credentials. On this machine you can also install Power Bi Desktop and publish apps to the workspaces you have. From the clients users can go to the workspaces and the datasets and refresh the data or adjust a schedule to refresh the dataset.
