Migrate FROM Server 2012 R2 Essentials TO Server 2012 R2 Standard

We have a new server with 2012 R2 Essentials. Failed to realize Essentials need for Domain Controller role and Deltek Vision Software running on new server does not run on Domain Controller. We are prepared to upgrade to Server 2012 R2 Standard,
and have read the "Transition.." article in the Tech Net Library, but it does not go into much detail. Need to know what else is involved and does the transition remove the FSMO requirement? Does the transition wipe out all
programs and SQL Server installations? I have found articles on migrating from standard to essentials, but not the other way around.

Hi,
When you talk about the "Transition" means Transition from Windows Server 2012 Essentials to Windows Server 2012 Standard?

If you talk about the migration, i think you could do the migration process.

Calendar Server Migration from iplanet5.2 to Sunjava messaging server

Hi
Can any one help me on Calendar server migration.
How can i migrate the calendar server from iplanet 5.2 to sunjava messaging server

Hi,
I assume you mean iplanet calendar server 5.1.1 to the latest calendar server (6.3). If so, I suggest you start by reading through the calendar server admin guide which goes through the steps involved and tools to use to migrate from 5.1.1 onto calendar server 6.3.

MDT 2012 to Migrate from Windows 2003 32 Bit to Windows 2012 R2 64 Bit

I have used MDT for so long however only for client OS upgrade - XP to Windows 7/8.
We wish to use MDT to migrate from Windows 2003 32 Bit to Windows 2012 R2 64 Bit. All servers are virtual on HyperV or VMWare - plan is to use USMT hardlink Migration.
Is this supported? Has anyone used this for server migration?
Regards, Vik Singh "If this thread answered your question, please click on "Mark as Answer"

Thanks Keith for your reply.
Even is USMT does not work, we are ok. SMIGdeploy will be helpful.
Basically, want MDT to run some scripts on the Windows 2003 server, post which install Windows 2012 and join it to the existing domain with the same computer name.
Then hydration kit to help with the installation of features etc. Also, we would like to take a complete backup to a WIM before migrating.
I am sure this is workable.

Migrating from Marimba 8.1 to Configuration Manager 2012 R2

Good morning all,
I have been tasked with architecting a migration from Marimba 8.1 to Configuration Manager 2012 R2 and I noticed that there is almost no material available in the web about this, can someone provide whatever insight information possible?
Thanks in advanced for your help on this matter

Jeff,
I agree with you on some of your thoughts, I should've describe the situation better.... I am not trying to migrate anything from Marimba, I am architecting an entire ConfigMgr 2012 R2 infrastructure altogether, what I am trying to do is (because I have
to rationalize and normalize their DSL) see if I can salvage any applications and some level of their customization to convert them into ConfigMgr applications.... they have about 3000 apps and not all of them are in .msi format, Marimba uses a very strange
folder format for this.... trying to see if anyone out there has dealt with this before.

Server 2012 R2 Essentials and Server 2012 Standard

This is for a small business with all of 2 employees. I setup up the domain on the Server 2012 R2 Essentials. We have since found out that one of the applications was over loading the server so he went and bought a different server. Well that server has 2012 Server Standard. I added it to the domain but when I tried to make it a domain controller, I was getting a conflict error with the domain levels. So the question is, what is the best solution to resolve this? My first thought it to just create the domain on the Server 2012 and just blow the old domain. But maybe there is a better way to do it? any ideas?

Migrating from Azure SQL Database to SQL Server VM

I'm looking for steps/documentation to migrate a database from Azure SQL Database to SQL Server VM in the cloud. I want to make an app whose data is initially hosted in the former. Due to a few reasons, I might have to migrate to SQL Server VM. I'd
like to design the app such that ideally there is no downtime. Looking for guidance...

You can create bacpac file from Azure SQL database and Restore this bacpac file into SQL Server VM or any other place.

Migration from MS Exchange 2003 to Mavericks Server

Can anyone recommend a migration path from MS Exchange 2003 to OS X Mavericks Server? The key features to be migrated and used with the new server are: email, contacts, calendar, group tasks management, file sharing.
Also, any hardware recommendation? Is Mac mini enough for a group of about 6-8 other Macs or could we benefit from the new Mac Pro? Perhaps an iMac (with a Fusion Drive)?
Thanks for any suggestions.

I don't think you know the limitations — Exchange Server provides rather more than what Postfix and Dovecot do.
This is a generic Exchange Server to Postfix/Dovecot migration, which — in conjunction with the imapsync option — might find some other discussions.
For migrating from Exchange Server itself, AFAIK, no, there are no packaged tools for that available. Tools such as imapsync can be used to migrate mail among imap servers, which can be an option here once imap is enabled on the Exchange Server, and once you know (or reset) all the passwords. Or you can select all and then drag and drop the messages.
Slightly closer to Exchange Server in capabilities are the Zimbra and Kerio products. Zimbra has migration tools, IIRC.
FWIW, please do not thread-jack, it just confuses the discussions — or at least it usually just ends up confusing readers. This is a very different question from the original, and should be its own separate thread.

Migrating from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion Server

Hi all. I kinda drop in and out of this forum, mostly when I've got a puzzler that I can't figure out. My journey from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion was a little slow. I tried to make the transition from Snow Leopard to Lion and failed, but this time I made it and I thought I'd share a little scratchpad post I wrote to document what I did. Mostly this is about adding back a few things that I really need. Here's the list of stuff that I added back:
Firewall management (IceFloor)
MySQL
Webmail, email filtering rules and email aliases (RoundCube)
"Group" emails (short, multi-recipient email exploders)
Mailing lists (Mailman)
I also dramatically improved reliability by adding a lot of memory, and doing nightly-restarts of the machine.
Here's a link to the post
http://www.haven2.com/index.php/archives/migrating-from-snow-leopard-server-to-o sx-server-mountain-lion
I'm happy to report that the new server has been running for a month or so and all seems fine. Whew. A long journey. Thanks to all of you who posted things that helped me along the way. Hopefully this will return the favor.

Moving from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion means first installing the client (non-Server) version of Mountain Lion and then install Server.app this means that for at least part of the process you will not be running DNS, DHCP or Open Directory.
If you are going to end up using the same DNS name and IP address after the change then an approach you could follow would be as follows.
Destroy any Open Directory replicas
Archive your Open Directory Master (to make a backup)
Note down your DNS records in case they get messed up
Export via Workgroup Manager your users, and groups (you might not need this but better safe than sorry), make sure you do not include the diradmin account
Keep a full back of the server (you should always have backups)
Note down your DHCP server settings in case they get messed up
Note down any other service settings
Install Mountain Lion
Install Server.app
Install Workgroup Manager (extra free download)
Run Server.app
Make sure settings for services are as much as possible the same as before
If your lucky that may be all you need to do, otherwise...
Restore Open Directory archive, if your lucky that will be all you need to do, otherwise...
Make new Open Directory Master
Run Workgroup Manager
Import users and groups you previously exported
You will then have to set passwords for each user as these are not preserved via Workgroup Manager export
When I did this, I was also being forced to change all my IP addresses so I had no choice but to use Workgroup Manager to export and import accounts.

Cable to migrate from Macbook (late 2007) to Mac Mini 2012?

What cable should I use to migrate files from Macbook (late 2007) to Mac Mini 2012. The ethernet migration took 30 hours. The Macbook messaged success but the Mini did not show that any files were transfered.

Where did you look for the migrated files? Look in the /Users/ folder and see if there isn't a new user account. If so, then log into that account where you should find what you migrated.
The only way to do a migration any faster and more reliably is if both computers have Firewire ports. If they do then you can use Target Disk Mode to migrate.

Change license to Windows 2012 R2 Essentials and Windows 2012 R2 Standard

Hi,
I'm working for a small company (10 users). We have 2 servers; 1 is a normal file server, domain controller etc.; the second is dedicated for running a financial application. We bought and installed new hardware but with so called 'Technet licenses'.
Obviously we need to buy proper licenses. I have 2 questions :
1. Am I correct in buying 1 Windows 2012 R2 Essentials license, 1 Windows 2012 R2 Standard license and 10 CALs ?
2. Can I just install these licenses 'over' the existing 'Technet licenses' ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Ronald Ruijtenberg

I would purchase one Server Standard license, install it as a hypervisor on the server, then add to VMs. First one is Server with the Essentials role, the second to run your financial application. You can do this on one physical box and you
only have to purchase one copy of Server Standard.

Package migration from SSIS 2008 R2 to SQL server 2012

hi guys:
My company has decided to use Sql server 2012 for the database service, Integration service as well as analysis service
The first question is which tool I should install to run packages ? in SQL Server 2008 R2, I've installed BIDS which is inside the disk.
Also do I need to install any visual studio tools? I was under the impression that the BIDS 2008 was using kinda shell visual studio.
Thanks
Hui
--Currently using Reporting Service 2000; Visual Studio .NET 2003; Visual Source Safe SSIS 2008 SSAS 2008, SVN --

Hi cat_ca,
To develop package in SQL Server 2012 Integration Services, we use the SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT 2012) which can be installed from the SQL Server 2012 install media. The SSDT 2012 use Visual Studio 2010 shell by default and can be integrated into Visual
Studio 2010. By installing SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012, we can also integrate SSDT 2012 into Visual Studio 2012. However, SSDT 2012 cannot be integrated into Visual Studio 2013. As far as I know, the SSDT 2014 released
in SQL Server 2014 RTM will use the Visual Studio 2013 shell and can be integrated into Visual Studio 2013.

Adding non-local NAS to Windows Server 2012 R2 (Essentials Enabled) Server Listing

Okay, I'm new at this, so I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question. In short: I'm running WS 2012 R2 (with the Essentials role installed) and the sever is connected to a network that also has a Linux-based NAS (a D-Link DNS-323) connected
to it. I want to be able to add the NAS server to the server listing (in the server manager) with the ultimate goal of making the NAS files available remotely through the WS Remote Web Access (RWA).
Here's the long description of my problem: I'm trying to set up a remote access point for me and my family so we can access our documents and media when we are not on the local network. The NAS comes with a built in FTP server, but FTP is not secure enough
for my needs. A lot of the people that will be accessing my home network remotely are not very computer savvy, so I need to make it as easy as possible to access and use (ie. I don't want the end user to have to install/code anything on their machine to be
able to get to the home files). Ideally this would be the RWA interface, with its simple login screen and GUI. I have set up the RWA, so now the only problem is making the root of the NAS a visible file on there. I have the NAS as a network (mapped) drive
on the server, so the server can 'see' the NAS, but I don't know how to make it 'seen' in the RWA.
Any ideas? Is setting this up even possible? If so, how would I go about doing it? If not, does anyone know of a good workaround?

Hi,
In general, if the NAS files are local, you can create shared folder on the server in Remote Web Access and then upload the NAS files to the folder.
However, according to your description, it seems that the NAS files are not local and I am afraid that you may cannot achieve that in Remote Web Access.
Best regards,
Susie

You'll have to skip the authAuthority entries. One of them is for the password server, where Apple stores passwords, and the other obviously is for Kerberos. I think I read somewhere that you can actually use the userPassword: field if you put a plaintext password in there. I'd be interested to know if {crypt} or {md5} would work, like they do in regular OpenLDAP deployments.
Once you have the users imported into OpenDirectory, you can create the password server and Kerberos entries using the Server Admin tool, although this might require changing the password.
As for email, are you already using a recent version of Cyrus IMAP? If so, you just need to copy the files over (after importing users). If not, there are scripts floating around that can convert email from other systems to Cyrus.

Migration from G5 to Xserve, 10.3 server to 10.4 server

I am planning a move from a dp G5 tower to a newer Xserve G5, and migrating the 10.3 server to the new 10.4 server. This is our main DNS, mail, web, and ftp server. It is currently running 10.3.8 and running a Netnfo db. I am looking for some strategy tips and practical suggestions.
I have read the migration guide. And while it is excellent, it is lacking in some crucial details. It is hard to believe that it doesn't mention changing IPs with changeip or networksetup, or deal with scenarios like mine. I will reread it a few more time to better prepare for this move. But I ask here, so that I may get a few ideas or tips.
Should I rebuild the 10.4 Server/ xserve G5 with the current servers IP and copy all the data, users and settings, then turn off the old then turn on the new? Or should I build it with a new IP, move data, test it, then changeip?
Or should I set it up as a secondary mail server and change the settings with our domain name registrar reflects the secondary mail server, then turn off the old one?
I know you're supposed to upgrade to 10.3.9 first, but 10.3.8 users do seem to import fine into 10.4.8 (in my tests). Anything really broken there?
I guess my concern are rooted in taking down a live working server, and establishing the safest way to bring up a new server which is fully functioning mail, web and dns. And I want chocolate ice cream too.
Thanks.

I know you're supposed to upgrade to 10.3.9 first, but
10.3.8 users do seem to import fine into 10.4.8 (in my
tests). Anything really broken there?
Yes. The OD schema changes from 10.3 to 10.4, and the upgrade
to 10.3.9 gets the OD schema into condition for migration to
10.4.x. That's the reason for that step.
Good details about the migration are given on
http://www.afp548.com
It's probably easier not to do the changeip flip, if you can
do that. Details at afp548.com
