OS Migration from Windows 2003 cluster to Windows 2008 R2 MSCS

We want to go for windows 2008 R2 server ( 64-Bit) MSCS by migrating from windows 2003 Cluster ( 32- Bit) . We are running on ECC 6.0 and oracle 10.2.0.2 DB.
Is it possible ?
Is it traditional System copy if so how to migrate the cluster ?
Regards

> 2. If the oracle version is 10.2.0.2 then does it will support Windows 2008 R2.
You need at least 10.2.0.4 (you need to install that version with a separate DVD, you can't install with the normal Oracle DVD (10.2.0.1). See
Note 1303262 - Oracle on Windows Server 2008
Be aware of the fact that the normal standard support for 10.2.x is ending at end of july (you'll have to pay an extra maintenance fee if you continue to run that version) - see
Note 1110995 - Extended maintenance for Oracle Version 10.2
So if you now do a system copy to new hardware with a new os anyway, I would upgrade to 11.2.

Oracle 9i installation on Windows 2003 Cluster

Hi
I Need any good documentation for Oracle 9i installation on Windows 2003 Cluster.

Complete Guide is here
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14207/toc.htm

Installing Oracle9i Database on Windows 2003 Cluster

Can anyone tell me if there are any additional steps needed to install an Oracle DB on a Windows 2003 cluster besides just running the installation and taking the defaults? I was hoping that the software would be cluster aware but it doesn't appear that it is.

Okay,
I have gotten a little further with this. I have my 2 node active/passive windows cluster installed and working. I also install Oracle Fail Safe and have it setup and working. I then install my Oracle9i database on node 1 using a local disk for the home directory and the DB/logs files etc on shared disk (SAN back end). I then mirrored the install on my 2nd node using the same home name and location on a local disk. What other steps do I need to take to verify that my new Oracle database will function correctly should a node fail and fail over occur. I am not familiar with any of this at all and am just trying to get to a point where I have my DB installed and working correctly within the cluster before I hand this of to another person. I guess what I am saying is I need to make sure my new DB is cluster aware and will fail over correctly. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Migrating from BEA WebLogic 5.1 (Windows 2000) to iAS9

Hi!
I am looking for a step-by-step guide for migrating from BEA WebLogic 5.1 (Windows 2000) to iAS9. The guide should contain the detailed information on how to migrate servlets and EJBs.
Some of my questions are:
- What do I have to do when I have system startup files from WebLogic? Are there equivalent properties for iAS9?
# Register a startup class by giving it a virtual name and
# supplying its full pathname.
#weblogic.system.startupClass.[virtual_name]=[full_pathname]
# Add arguments for the startup class
#weblogic.system.startupArgs.[virtual_name]={argname]=[argvalue]
- How do I set the system properties?

This a response to the specific point of startup/shutdown classes, a whole Migration paper is underway
Since Servlet 2.2 and EJB containers in 9i AS run within the middle tier database instance,
the easier way to accompish what you want is to declare those classes as database startup/shutdown triggers (Java stored procedures).
You can also set session properties using the "modifyprops" command (cf Java Tools Reference)

OS Migrations from Winwows 2003 to 2008 Server

Hello Experts,
I wanted to know if we can Migrate our OS From windows 2003 to Windows 2008 without System copy/Database Refresh.
Here is what we have currently installed in Windows 2003 Server
OS: Windows 2003 Server
SID: ECP
Database Oracle: 10g
SAP: ECC 6.0
Cluster: MSCS
SAN: NetApp Storage, with Snapshot from snapdrive technology
Local Drive:
C - Windows 2003 Related files
D - SAP and Oracle Executable files
Shared Drive:
E Drives - Where SAP DATAFILE resides (sapdata1...n)
F Drives - Oracle logs (mirrorlogs, origilog, sapbackup, oraarch, etc..)
S Drives - Message Server relelated files including Kernel/Global/Profile Directories
Here is our plan to migrate to windows 2008 server.
While ECC - Production running, we decided to build SAP on 2 different separate hardware with same specs, on Windows 2008 with MSCS. Then install the fresh NetWeaver/ECC system with SAME SID and build the initial Microsoft clustering for Oracle and SAP like as we did on the windows 2003 Server. Make it looks like Windows 2003 ECP except the OS from SAP and Oracle perspective.
Here is the plan.
Since it is the
- same System ID (SID)
- E, F drives are shared
With NetApp Snapdrive technology, we have an options, disconnect the E and F drive, and connect the drives on the Windows 2008 R1 New Server.
We will also copy the all the Global directory files from old server (Windows 2003) to Windows 2008 (Joblog, spool logs, etc)
Question 1:
Now my question would be, is his will be an good practice option to migrate our OS from 2003 to 2008 windows knowing the technology in hands?
Question 2:
When we install a Fresh SAP system using SAPinst, do SAP Sapinst place any Windows related settings/config automatically into the database?
Question 3:
am I missing any other key facts?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks In Advance
Kumar

You can do that approach but keep in mind that
- you need to install Oracle 10.2.0.4 directly using a different DVD (Note 1303262 - Oracle on Windows Server 2008). If the source system is still on 10.2.0.2 the procedure is not going to work
- after you switch the disks from old to new all permissions and windows ACLs are gone. Windows stores ACLs as GUIDs, not as names so you will need to replace the old with new ones on the disks you present to the new server. This is also true for other files (joblogs etc.)
- the SAP kernel uses OPS$ to connect to the database, I'd delete and recreate the user after the database is mounted and open.

Migrate from Server 2003 (no Exchange, single server) to SBS 2011

Are there any Technets or other Microsoft documentation on migrating from Server 2003 (no Exchange, single server) to SBS 2011? I understand it is possible, but I would like confirmation and some documentation before purchasing the appropriate hardware
and licenses.
Thanks,
Doug

Hi Doug,
In general, the migration is the similar with migrating process from SBS 2003. In addition, also have main
difference.
“The main difference is that you don’t have to remove the source and that you have to follow the migration
instructions as the SBS migration wizard will not launch.”
You can get above description from following similar thread. Please refer to.

Migration from Exchange 2003

Hi,
We are a small business. We currently use Small Business Server 2003 which has Exchange 2003 built-in.
Can we migrate from Exchange 2003 to Mac OS X Server mail services?
Can Office 2011 connect to Mac mail services? If so, what protocols?
Many thanks,
Ciaran.

We are a small business. We currently use Small Business Server 2003 which has Exchange 2003 built-in.
What features of Exchange are you using? Push notifications? Calendaring. Sharepoint? Figure out what you want and what you need (and which are two separate lists) and then map that over to what Mac OS X Server, or to what a Mac box with the Kerio Connect package loaded, might provide you.
Can we migrate from Exchange 2003 to Mac OS X Server mail services?
That's rather open-ended. It's possible, but there's no single definition of small business mail requirements. Some small businesses can and have, and some might find themselves missing critical features.
Can Office 2011 connect to Mac mail services? If so, what protocols?
iWork does well enough to read and write Office files locally, so I don't have experience with Microsoft Office. The Windows mail clients can certainly access Unix mail servers. As for what connectivity is present within Office, I'm way too rusty with Windows to comment. What used to be the Outlook Express client worked just fine with Unix mail servers. The full-on Office Outlook client was pretty flaky with stuff other than Exchange, but that was some years ago.
Biggest issues with SBS migrations tend to be with shared Address Book, with shared Calendars and with Sharepoint services; if you're heavy users of those features, you might find the Mac OS X Server implementations lacking. Kerio can potentially help here.
Look around the forums for some other folks. This particular SBS migration has been fairly common fodder for discussions.

Possible to point Windows 2003 server to Windows 2012 R2 WSUS?

Hello Community,
I have deployed Windows 2012 R2 WSUS in my organisation. I have no issues with Windows 7, 2008 R2 pointing to the WSUS server.
However, I am having issues pointing Windows 2003 R2 and Windows XP to the WSUS server.
On the Windows 2003 client, I have also ran wuauclt /detectnow and the GPO settings is set to:
In Windows 2008 R2, I know that I am getting updates from the WSUS because I can see the option
below (circled in red)
Questions:
1. In Windows 2003, how do I know that I am actually getting the updates from the WSUS and not from the
internet?
2. Are Windows 2003/XP clients compatible to pull updates from a Windows 2012 WSUS server?
3. If Windows 2003/XP clients are able to get updates from Windows 2012 WSUS server, how do I do it? Is
there any 'interface' for me to use?

In Windows 2003, there isnt an interface for administrators to "Check for Windows Updates managed by your system administrator" unlike in Windows 2008. (See screenshot on my first post)
In Windows 2003, I go to Tools > Windows Update and it is pointing me to microsoft's website.
Correct, In Windows 2003 you use the WUAUCLT.EXE command line utility, to perform client actions.
But that has *nothing* to do with how you *configure* the client, nor how you check the client's configuration. That is done exactly the same way regardless of which operating system is being used.
So when I say you know you're getting updates from WSUS by using the same method, that method is NOT looking at the WUApp applet in Control Panel, because that applet does NOT tell you that the client is getting updates from WSUS. It merely tells you that
some policy is in place that presumably tells the client to get updates from a WSUS server.
If you *really* want to know.... check the appropriate registry keys, or read the WindowsUpdate.log.... and that's done exactly the same way on every operating system.

SPAM rules on Inbox after migration from Exchange 2003 - GFI Mail Essentials

Hello,
Few times ago, we had an Exchange 2003 server with mailboxes which were configured with "rulemgmt.exe" tool (from Microsoft ?) to manage users mailboxes and SPAM redirection in these mailboxes.
GFI MailEssentials (antispam) was installed on a mail relay and once a SPAM was detected, it was redirected in Inbox/SPAM folder on user mailbox thanks to the rule defined by "rulemgmt.exe".
Recently, we did a migration from Exchange 2003 to 2010. Unfortunately, "rulemgmt.exe" doesn't work anymore on Exchange 2010 and it's replaced by a "Transport Rule" which works fine but only to redirect SPAMs in Junk e-mail folder. However,
if I don't set up this transport rule, SPAM redirection still works from mailboxes which were created on Exchange 2003 and e-mails go to Inbox/SPAM as before... For new mailboxes on Exchange 2010, it doesn't work which is normal.
My question is: for old mailboxes from Exchange 2003, where are the SPAM redirection (Inbox/SPAM) information stored? I don't understand how SPAM can be redirected if the information is not stored in Exchange...
The aim is to use Junk E-mail folder with the Transport Rule at the end everywhere and to clean old rules used for Inbox/SPAM.
I contact GFI support but they couldn't help me.
Any idea?
Regards,
DeltaSM

Those old mailboxes probably have old rules still set. You can use the Outlook.exe /cleanrules switch to purge those old rules. This would require that you create an outlook profile for each of those impacted mailboxes.
You can also look at using MFCMapi -
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2860406/en-us
When that is done, you might want to perform a Clean-MailboxDatabase and then look at the mailbox rules (get-inboxrule). If that does not work for you, could be something else within the mailbox and as such, I would recommend working with MS to get
more info.

Migrating from DHCP 2003 to DHCP 2012

Hi,
i'm planning to migrate from DHCP 2003 to DHCP 2012 or DHCP 2012 R2 failover.
Saw those instructions:
extract the configuration in .TXT
netsh dhcp server export c:\temp\dhcp.txt all
copy this file on your server 2012 in temp or elsewhere
import the configuration with this command
netsh dhcp server import c:\temp\dhcp.txt all
if you have the error "TLS supported but not configured"
remove all the option in "Server Option" like 003 Router 006 DNS SERVERS and put it back after doing the import
now i have some questions:
1. is it recommended to build 2 2012 DHCP configured as failover on virtual machines ? (hyper-V)
2. do those dhcp servers have to or recommended to be DNS also or can they be only DHCP servers ?
3. my AD functionality level is 2003 - is it a problem for this migration ?
4. virtual or physical ? whats is recommended ?
5. any other considerations ?
TNX

Hi,
Virtual or physical will both work. It doesn't matter, as long as the two servers can communicate with each other.
You do not need DNS installed on the same server, but you can install it without hurting anything.
I believe that the AD level has no effect because you can have DHCP failover even on workgroup computers.

Accidently removed a mailbox on the SBS 2008 server during the migration from SBS 2003

I accidently removed a legacy mailbox from the SBS 2008 server while still doing the migration from SBS 2003. I meant to click on the Move Mailbox like the instructions said but clicked on the Remove option, then clicked the 'X' to close the box since
I figured that would cancel what I did however it removed the mailbox from the SBS 2008 list.
Please tell me that I can get it back. It still shows up in the old SBS Exchange System Manager but now when an email is sent, it sends back a no delivery message. It's like the account doesn't exist any more.
Can it be recovered and if so, how?
thanks,
Jeff

Calendar Free/Busy permissions being ignored for users migrated from Exchange 2003, fine for new users created on Exchange 2010

I have uncovered a situation where it seems the free/busy permissions are being ignored for users that were migrated from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010.
I have the default permissions set to only show Free/Busy Time, not Details. However if I look at the calendar for a users who was migrated from the old Exchange 2003 server, I can see details. If I look
at a newer user who was added directly to the Exchange 2010 server, I (correctly) only see the times and "Free" or "Busy", not the specific details.
I verified the permissions on the migrated mailboxes many different ways (Exfolders, cmdlets, etc) and all signs point to only allow showing Free/Busy Times, but alas, I can still see the Details as well.
My users are using Outlook 2010.

Hi,
Does this issue occur on Outlook only or both Outlook and OWA?
Since you have double checked the permissions via multiple methods, it seems there is nothing problem on permission. Please make sure the migration from Exchange 2003 server completed successfully.
If in OWA everything goes well (cannot see details), it should be an issue on the Outlook client side.
I suggest run Outlook under safe mode to avoid some AVs and add-ins.
I suggest re-create profile to refresh the caches.
Thanks

Disk Management shows 'unallocated' and 'online' basic disk on a 4 node Windows 2003 Cluster - Is this disk reclaimable?

We've a 4 node Windows 2003 File Share Cluster. I logged onto one of the nodes and found there are a lot of SAN connected disks that show 'Unallocated' in Disk Management as below,
Please could someone advice if these disks are unused? and reclaimable? From what I heard from Adminstrator is that, its the default behavior of Cluster and will be in use by a different node on the same cluster. If so, is there an easier way to identify
which nodes are using these disks? since it appears as though these disks are mapped to server but not being used, many thanks.

As expected.
Things a bit clearer in current versions of Windows Server, but back in the 2003 days, that was how the shared disk was shown on the nodes that did not own the disk. If you go to each node in the cluster and look at the same thing in each node, you
will have the same number of disks. On the node that owns the disk, you will see it represented as you would expect. On the nodes that do not own the disk, you will see it displayed as you have shown in your screen shot.

Upgrade from a two tier EBS 11i 11.5.10.2 on Windows 2003 Apps and Windows 2008 R2 DB tier to two Tier R12.2.3 both on Windows 2008 R2

Hi,
Any ideas about the best practices for the migration/upgrade reflected with the below question?
I have a source EBS11i 11.5.10.2 running as a two tier configuration ( apps tier on server ora10 on Windows 2003, DB tier 11.2.0.2 on server ora1 on Windows 8 R2. Can I use the Note 1377213.1 for a migration to a two tier configuration ( apps tier on server T10 running Windows 2008 R2 and EBS 12.2.3 and DB tier running 11.2.0.4 on Windows 2008 R2 )? What alternative approach could you suggest? As far as I know EBS11i is not certified on Windows 2008 R2 and R12.2.0 is not certified on Windows 2003.

Yes you can by following "Application Tier Upgrades and Migrations" section -- Install 12.2 apps tier on 64-bit Windows and proceed with the upgrade.
