Upgrade from OCS 2007 to OCS 2007 R2 and Lync 2013

Hy friends!
Help me, please!
Scenario: Migration from OCS 2007 RTM to OCS 2007 R2
Target: Keep user contact list (I'm talking about only OCS contact list from internal organization users, I'm not refer about external addresses)
Question: I want to know if when I move a user from OCS 2007 RTM to OCS 2007 R2 the user contact list is also migrated?
If Yes, can you share the Microsoft documentation that describe it?
So, after I migrate the users to OCS 2007 R2, finally I can do a supported migration to Lync Server 2013. 
Thanks in advance.

If you do a side-by-side migration the contact lists (and other user data) should remain intact. If you tear down OCS2007 and then install OCS2007R2, then you will need to use dbimpexp.exe to export the contact list from OCS2007.
Here is an overview: http://blogs.technet.com/b/ucedsg/archive/2009/02/07/how-do-i-get-from-ocs-rtm-r1-to-ocs-r2.aspx
Also take a look at the deployment guide: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=19984 specifically
the section called "Updating from Office Communications Server 2007" which lists some potential issues.

  • Best practice for Smartview when upgrading from Excel 2003 to Excel 2007?

    Does anyone know the best pratice for Smartview when upgrading from Excel 2003 to Excel 2007?
    Current users have Microsoft Excel 2003 with Smartview 9.3.1.2.1.003.
    Computers are being upgraded to Microsoft Excel 2007.
    What is the best pratice for Smartview in this situation?
    1. Do nothing with Smartview and just install Excel 2007.
    2. Install Excel 2007 and then uninstall and reinstall Smartview
    3. Uninstall Smartview, Install Excel 2007, and then install Smartview
    4. Somthing else??
    Thanks!

    We went with option 1 and it worked out fine. Be aware that SV processes noticeably slower in Excel 2007 than 2003. Many users were/are unhappy with the switch. We haven't tested SV v11 yet, so I'm not sure if it has improved performance with Excel 2007 or not (hopefully it does).

  • R/3 upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 and BW upgrade from 3.5 to 7.0

    Is there a reason to upgrade Solution Manager from 3.2 to 4.0 when upgrading R/3 from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 and BW upgrade from 3.5 to 7.0?
    And when in current situation Unicode UTF8 is used, could that give problems during / after the upgrade?

    Hello ALex,
    There is not a must to upgrade also your solman 3.2 when you upgrade your satellites, only consider if you need the solman diagnostic or not and also that the new functionality in solman 4.0.
    Which system is unicode, the satellite?
    There is also not problems having a non-unicode solman with unicode satellites and the other, having a unicode-solman "linked" to unicode-satellites.
    Hope this helps,

  • HT6065 I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks OS X, and lost all of my "on my mac" mail boxes.  How do I restore them?

    I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks OS X, and lost all of my "on my mac" mail boxes.  How do I restore them?

    The answer was more complicated.  I had to have an Apple Care tech help me onscreen.  Had to go to Time Machine to restore (which I had tried, but couldn't find the right files to import.  The Mail icon was barred).  They helped me find them.  It was very complicated, with many steps involved.  I never could have figured it out on my own.  Even the tech was not sure how, or if it would work. And it took about 1/2 hour for the stuff to download. But, the problem was solved eventually
    .  Thanks again for your help!

  • If i upgrade from 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion and do a Time-Machine-Backup, is it possible to restore my mac on Mountain Lion?

    If i upgrade from 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion and do a Time-Machine-Backup before, is it possible to restore my mac on Mountain Lion with this Backup made on Snow Leopard?
    Thx guyz

    You don't need to restore anything.
    Just upgrade.  That replaces Snow Leopard with Mountain Lion, without disturbing anything else.
    But by all means, always keep up-to-date backups, in case something goes wrong.

  • Is there a step by step guide on upgrading from leopard to lion inlcuding data backup and migration?

    is there a step by step guide on upgrading from leopard to lion inlcuding data backup and migration?

    Let me just give you the breakdown:
    Snow Leopard (10.6) needs to be purchased. You need Snow Leopard because it has the Mac App StoreAlternatively, you could get the Lion USB drive, but much more expensive
    Once you have installed Snow Leopard, open the Mac App Store and find OS X Lion. This downloads OS X Lion Installer. After the download finishes, click on it, follow the steps and the installation begins!
    No data will be lost during any of the upgrades
    Let me know if you have any further questions.

  • I have an iPad 2 and is it worth upgrading from iOS 5.1 to 6.0 and should I wait for further stable updates ?

    I have an iPad 2 and is it worth upgrading from iOS 5.1 to 6.0 And should I wait for further stable updates?  As I have there are app compatibility and security issues on ios 6.

    Most users haven't had problems with iOS 6, however, some have. I'm still using iOS 5.1.1 on my iPad 2. There is a beta version iOS 6.1 being tested. Don't know when it will be released. When it is released, I'll update.

  • Office 2010 and Lync 2013 installed caused Powerpoint to become corrupted from internet sources

    I'm finding that we're having problems with Office 2010 and Lync 2013.
    Our environment is setup as follows:
    Operating system: Windows 7 Enterprise 
    Office: Office 2010 (Word, Excel , Powerpoint, Access etc)
      Office 2013 (Only Lync has been installed for 2013)
    Problem: The issue is that when any Powerpoint documents come from internet sources (Such as Outlook or downloading directly from an internet browser), attachment manager deems the Powerpoint a security risk. When you open the Powerpoint it states that it's
    corrupt and needs to be repaired, when you try repairing the powerpoint, it says it's not going to be possible. 
    The only workaround is right clicking the power point in explorer and clicking properties, there's then a security prompt at the bottom of the dialog box and an option to "Unblock".
    The temporary fix: The fix is to remove Lync 2013 and the power point presentation open correctly from Internet sources.
    Attempted:
    I've attempted the following:
    - Build a laptop with a plain version of Windows 7 enterprise
    - Install Office 2010 Professional
    - Test powerpoints from internet sources (Working)
    - Install Lync 2013
    - Test powerpoints from internet sources (Same error)
    Any ideas?

    Just to let you know that switching off protected view in Powerpoint for files originating from internet sources and Outlook attachments is a workaround for the issue.
    I would be cautious about switching off Protected view though, here's a good article explaining the inner workings of Protected view:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/office2010/archive/2009/08/13/protected-view-in-office-2010.aspx
    Concerning this problem, I also noticed that after removing Office 2013 and starting Powerpoint, a MSIEXEC instance is started.
    Presumably some DLLs are missing or some registry keys are missing when installed with Lync/Office 2013.
    I also went to the trouble of snap shotting the registry and using Procmon to see what gets loaded and added when Powerpoint repairs itself on first start after removing Office 2013.
    Unfortunately there are a number of things which change and couldn't be changed on the Office 2010 and Lync 2013 setup to fix the problem. 
    My advice would be the following:
    - Update to Office 2013 fully
    - Downgrade to Office 2010 Lync
    - Switch off protected view 

  • Lost XL reporter (.rcr) files after upgrade from B! 2005 to 2007 PL 47

    I have a user that says he has lost all of his XL reporter reports that he created since his upgrade of B1 from 2005 to 2007.  Has anyone had this issue?  Where are these reports stored?  Any ideas how to recover these reports?

    Dear Pat,
    XL Reports are actually stored in the individual company databases on which they are created, even if you uninstall the XLReporter addon, the reports will not be lost. XL Reports shouldn't also be deleted after an upgrade from 2005 to 2007 or from a patch to another. Thus far, I hadn't experienced any loss of XL Reports from upgrades.
    Hope this helps.
    Warmest Regards,
    Chinho

  • Upgrade from 11i to R12 - Custom Forms,Reports and Workflows

    Dear Community Friends,
    We are planning for upgrade from oracle apps 11.5.10.2 to R12.
    We have custom Forms,Form Libraries,Reports and Workflows.
    Kindly provide me for approach on how to migrate Custom form libraries,reports and Workflows.
    I beleive, this thread will exists as one shot point for custom forms,reports,workflow upgradation from 11i to r12 with detailed steps.
    I know that many links exists here in the forum for all the above objects mentioned,but still from all those i am able to get a clear picture for oracle forms but not for custom form libraries ,reports and workflows.
    Also,this post will provide a low level,practical picture of the steps for those who are in line with this.
    Links i have read for all these in our forum are:
    For Custom Forms,
    Re: Planning to upgrade from 11i to R12
    Re: Custom forms: After upgrading 11i to R12
    ofcourse,'n' number of links exists providing metalink notes also.
    Hussain,Helios and some others also has given many updates regd this.
    For custom workflow upgradation,
    Upgrade Workflow 11i to R12
    Workflow Upgrade
    Workflow Upgrade
    For reports,links mentioned the below metalink notes:
    Do Not Compile EBS R12 Reports Using rwconverter.sh or Reports Builder from IDS 10gR2 [ID 786794.1]
    Using the OracleAS 10.1.2 Forms and Reports Builders with Oracle Applications Release 12 [ID 444248.1]
    Per my understanding, after searching in many threads,i am here by summarising the practical low level steps for custom forms migration
    Please correct me,if i am wrong.
    1) Download the Forms(.fmb's) and all PLL's(all the PLL from resource folder in AU_TOP) into a Local Machine Folder
    2) Open the forms using Forms Developer 10G and connect to DB
    3) Compile by clicking compilein Forms Developer and then save it.
    4) Upload the Saved Forms(.fmb's) into the new R12 server(system) in the respective custom paths(paths similar to 11i Server)
    5) Compile all the forms using the command like below(example command is shown below or f60 gen commands or frmcmp.sh utility) in the respective custom form paths,
    this will generate the .fmx's.
    frmcmp_batch module=FORMNAME.fmb userid=apps/apps output_file=FORMNAME.fmx compile_all=yes
    Link for compiling forms: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_afrLoop=359210362972527&type=DOCUMENT&id=1085928.1&displayIndex=3&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=c348xvwbg_98
    6) Open the form and check in R12 instance
    As per my understanding for custom form libraries,we can just copy paste the PLL's from 11i server to R12 server (Please correct me,if i am wrong)
    Can anyone please help me out in custom reports and custom workflows.Sorry that,i could not get a practical and clear picture for reports and also for workflow even after referring many threads and metalink notes mentioned.
    As for reports,some says that Developer Suite 10g can be used and .rdf can be used in R12.
    Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
    So,i am not clear on this.
    Thanks,

    Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
    So,i am not clear on this.You can still use RDF files in R12, and just follow the approach you mentioned above, and you do not have to migrate them to XML publisher (though it is recommended, but this can be done after the upgrade as an enhancement task).
    For custom workflow, you need also to do the same thing, open them using workflow builder and make sure they work in R12 (correct the code if required and save them again in R12 once they work properly).
    Thanks,
    Hussein

  • HT4528 i upgraded from an iphone to a Samsung galaxy and now i am unable to receive text messages now from iphone users.the iphones think that my number is still another iphone and always sends a message as imessage.

    Upgraded from iphone to a Samsung and now i am unable to receive text messages from other iphone users unless they disable imessage .
    Being my original number was on an iphone is why this is happening .
    Please help. Almost everyone has an iphone

    You should have turned iMessage off before disabling the phone. Do you still have the phone so you can turn iMessage off? If not, you will need to go to Apple support on their website and delete the product from your profile.

  • I just upgraded from a 3Gs to the new 4s and I noticed that my Bluetooth in my car no longer works well with Siri. Everytime I use a voice command to dial a number it starts the search, finds the number and then says call ended!

    Is anyone else having this problem?  I never had a problem with the 3Gs!!

    Almost there...
    I'm replying to myself, as I have found the answer.
    1.  Started iTunes, connected iPhone 4S, turned on Airplane mode.
    2.  In iTunes, hovered mouse over my iPhone 4S name in left column, in popup box clicked on "Restore from Backup..."
    3.  From menu clicked on name of my old iPhone 3GS backup.
    4.  Backup appeared to be finished in about 8 minutes, but I new that could not be correct...iPhone had rebooted, so I entered password.  I could see that most apps were "waiting" and grayed out, also in iTunes top status box indicated that apps were being sync'd.  Also noted that my iPhone 4S now had the same name as my "old" iPhone 3GS. 
    5.  After some time (a couple of hours, perhaps, not sure because I went to sleep), everything appeared sync'd on new iPhone, and iTunes stated that sync was OK.
    6.  Manually renamed my new iPhone 4S to its correct name, then backed up to computer.
    I decided to hold off on iCloud for now - two majore issues:  1) have heard some reports of data dissappearing, and 2) I will have to talk to Apple about MobileMe instructions for moving to iCloud, which state that move will not transfer my mobileme email, and also that I cannot install iCloud management software (nor sync to Outlook) on my Windows XP computer - I intend to upgrade to a new Win7 in January 2010, and I have heard it is not so simple to change iTunes/device syncing to another computer.  Sounds like a good project for the Christmas-NewYear holidays...

  • Hello, i upgraded from an iphone 4 to a 5 and since then my messages arent going through as imessages. i went into optus and they said that the feature is turned on so it should be working so they suggested i contact apple support
