Active Directory domain migration with Exchange 2010, System Center 2012 R2 and File Servers

Greeting dear colleagues!
I got a task to migrate existing Active Directory domain to a new froest and a brand new domain.
I have a single domain with Forest/Domain level 2003 and two DC (2008 R2 and 2012 R2). My domain contains Exchange 2010 Organization, some System Center components (SCCM, SCOM, SCSM) and File Servers with mapped "My Documents" user folders. Domain
has about 1500 users/computers.
How do u think, is it realy possible to migrate such a domain to a new one with minimum downtime and user interruption? Maybe someone has already done something like that before? Please, write that here, i promise that i won't ask for instruction from you,
maybe only some small questions :)
Now I'm studying ADMT manual for sure.
Thanks in advance, 
Dmitriy Titov

Hi Dmitriy,
I got a task to migrate existing Active Directory domain to a new froest and a brand new domain.
How do u think, is it realy possible to migrate such a domain to a new one with minimum downtime and user interruption?
As far as I know, during inter-forest migration, user and group objects are cloned rather than migrated, which means they can still access resources in the source forest, they can even access resources after the migration is completed. You can ask users
to switch domain as soon as the new domain is ready.
Therefore, there shouldn’t be a huge downtime/interruption.

  • Is Lightroom supported in a Active Directory domain environment with multiple users logging into a machine?

    We are a school district using an Active Directory environment.  We currently use other Adobe products with multiple users on different machines and it works fine.  If Lightroom does work in a domain environment what are the required local user permissions needed for it tor work properly?  Thanks!

    Lightroom is not a multiuser program. It is required that the catalog is located on a hard drive that is local to the machine accessing it. There are no workarounds.

  • Working with XServe in Active Directory Domain

    I'm starting to lose my mind. Is anyone else working with an XServe in a strictly Active Directory domain? Im essentially using it as an FTP and SMB file server. All sorts of weird stuff happens out of the blue like, all of a sudden today I can no longer log in to the Local Admin account no matter what I do (I've reset the password, tried logging in automatically). Root account no longer lets me in...the only way I can get in is to log in as a Domain admin YET, if I log into the server through Workgroup Manager or Server Admin with the credentials for Local Admin, I get in just fine. What gives? It feels like there's major permissions screwiness going on...
    And earlier, file sharing permissions just weren't working no matter what permissions I gave to who. It is driving me nuts.
    Anyway, if anyone has ANY wisdom to impart re: using XServe to manage files, FTP, etc... in Active Directory I would love to hear it: tips, stories, experiences, resources, how to's etc...
    Thanks

    This area is more for the XServe hardware, you need to post in the Mac OS X Server software section, as the OS can run on more than just hardware, hence the software category.

  • Cannot add Active Directory Domain Services role on - DirectoryServices-DomainController . Status: -2147021879 (80070bc9)

    Hi everyone,
    I've been banging my head against this for a while and hope someone can help me.
     Running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard with Service Pack 1.
    When I try to add the Active Directory Domain Services role to the server it gets to about 90% complete and then dies.
    The ServerManager.log shows the following information, I have run the System Readiness Tool - output below - with no errors found.
    At a loss on what to do next. The only other links I've found suggest rebuilding the server which I would really like to avoid...
    Help appreciated,
    John

    Hi John,
    Thanks for posting.
    Performed some research and some results say that this problem can be caused by HD Write Caching.
    To disable Write Caching:
    1. Go to Device Manager.
    2.Click the plus sign (+) next to the Disk Drives branch to expand it.
    3.Right-click the drive on which you want to enable or disable disk write caching, and then click Properties.
    4.Click the Disk Properties tab.
    5.Click to select or clear the Write Cache Enabled check box as appropriate.
    6.Click OK.
    If no luck, Please check if any erros can be found in Event log, Dcpromoui.Log and Dcpromo.log

  • Cannot Print. "The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable"

    Hi there
    I cannot print and I have not been able to find the fix via existing forum threads.
    System: 
    Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit German - Profile language is Danish (installed a week ago and completely windows updated)
    Office 365 Small Business Premium
    HP DV8 Laptop. i7, 512GB SSD, 8GB RAM
    HP LaserJet P1006 USB printer.
    Problem
    No matter if I try to print from IE, Notebook, Word 2013 or anything else, I cannot chose my printer (P1006).
    If I try to Add Printer in Word 2013, I get the "The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable" error. 
    In Devices and Printers, the P1006 is visible, but there is no driver installed.
    Trying to install the correct driver:

    only creates a general error during installation: "Printer  Software Installer has stopped working - A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows closes the program and will notify you if a solution has been found"
    I have tried all the solution software from Windows, from HP (for the laptop and for the printer) - but nothing comes up with any details or suggestions. 
    What should I try?

  • Active Directory Domain Controllers using Virtual Servers

    Hi,
    I want to place a new SAP landscape in a child domain of the Active Directory forest. Due to an ordering error I am short two servers.
    Basically I am thinking about installing a virtual server on each of the development servers and using the virtual server installation to run as Active Directory Domain controllers.
    I know SAP do not recommend using SAP servers to be used as domain controllers, but as these are separate servers with their defined resources, it should not be a factor if the servers are sized with enough spare capacity.
    Can anyone think of any other major issues that would cause me an further issues.
    TIA
    Chris aka BoobBoo

    should be no problem, but please don't try to put the host-operating system in the domain for which their own guests will provide the domain controlers.

  • Active Directory Domain Services Child Domains

    I am using Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771856(v=ws.10).aspx
    When I select "Add Roles" I click on "Active Directory Domain Services (Installed)" the "Next>" button is not enabled and can not be selected.
    Did I install ADDS wrong?
    Is this not how you define Child Domains?
    If I use the Command Line or Answer File Methods I get an error message at "ChildName".
    Did I forget to install something about enabling Child Domains when installing ADDS?

    Hi,
    Did you try to create a child domain on the Domain Controller? It seems like that this Server is already a DC, with Active Directory Domain Services installed.
    We don’t have to enable anything in the root domain for creating child domains/new trees, we just need to run
    Dcpromo or Add Role on another server which is not a DC, and select the existing domain as its parent, then the child domain will be created.
    In addition, please make the existing DC as the preferred DNS server on the new server.
    I hope this helps.

  • Active Directory domain failed

    Hello Team,
    When i joined to our active directory, everytime bui gives same error messages:
    The attempt to join the Active Directory domain failed either because the clocks of the appliance and the domain controller are skewed or the administrative user
    does not have the appropriate permissions to create a computer account in Active Directory.
    It is recommended that NTP be used to keep clocks synchronized when using Active Directory.
    Storage Appliance: 7310 One Controller, No firewall for ntp server also which connect directly NTP Domain server. Actually my believe is that no time sync issue.
    Firmware version is latest patch.
    What is your idea about this issue?
    i did many times this action plan: but result is same
    ActiveDirectoryTasks
    B)Joining a Domain
    1.Configure an ActiveDirectory site in the CIFS context. (optional)
    2.Configure a preferred domain controller in the CIFS context. (optional)
    3.Enable NTP, or ensure that the clocks of the appliance and domain controller are synchronized
    to within five minutes.
    4.Ensure that your DNS infrastructure correctly delegates to the ActiveDirectory domain, or add
    your domain contoller's IP address as an additional name server in the DNS context.
    5.Configure the ActiveDirectory domain, administrative user, and administrative password.
    6.Apply/commit the configuration.
    A)Joining aWorkgroup
    Configure theworkgroup name.
    Apply/commit the configuration.
    1. First of all LAN Compatibility Mode 4 works fine with Win 2003 (AD Server)
    2. While trying to join the AD, using a non ADMIN username and passsword will not help
    Try using a username/pass which has Administrative Privileges (specifically having the rights for Account Creation in
    the AD Server) on the AD server.
    (I was trying by a different username/pass but it was not joing the storage to AD. It joined when i tried a user having
    the privileges to create Machine Accounts in AD)
    3. For Clock Sync, the tolerance limit is upto 5 Minutes..So you can take care that the difference does not go beyond
    5 minutes.
    Thanks

    Your first post to these OTN forums.
    You posted your inquiry to a HARDWARE forum.
    Your issue seems to be a Microsoft OS issue and you just happen to have your OS volumes on a model 7310 appliance.
    I suggest you go find a forum somewhere that is hosted for Microsoft AD issues.
    If you happen to need the documentation for that piece of storage hardware, there are currently three PDF's available:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19935-01/index.html
    They are the Installation Guide, the hardware Administration Guide, and the Service Manual.
    There are no current Oracle-published documents for that box as related to Active Directory.

  • Active Directory Domain Service Unavailable

    I've just bought this printer and gone through the installation.. all seemed well.
    Network set up also went well and wireless network test results show 'No Problems Found'.
    When I click on print icon in Word, Excel etc etc I get the usual print dialogue box.  If I just click on PRINT all seems fine, BUT clicking on Properties gets - 'The Active Directory Domain Service is Currently Unavailable'.  Click on PROPERTIES and the program 'locks'.  If I try to close it I'm told there is a dialogue box open (which there isn't).  I have to force a shut down via task manager.
    I've tried closing Firewall - no effect.
    I've tried USB connection - same problem.
    I've run Windows troubleshooter - nothing detected.

  • System Center 2012 R2 Config Manager requirements

    Looking to deploy System Center 2012 R2 and have been musing over system requirements. There was slight thud as my jaw hit the floor when I discovered a standalone primary environment (SQL installed on same server as Config Manager) required 32GB of memory!
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh846235.aspx
    You would lucky if we had 200 clients. Am I really going to have to assign 32GB of my virtual hosts memory to the server?
    I had earmarked 8GB, will this suffice? What is the minimum I can get away with??
    Thanks in advance!
    Steve

    Thanks for the responses folks.
    One other question. I am aware that there are co-existence limitations with some of the other Server components (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn281928.aspx) but
    (bearing these in mind) can I install other components on my Configuration Manager Server? VMM for example.
    If the answer is yes, I would assume I would need even more resources on the Server as well?

  • User Migration from Parent Domain to Child Domain..The user is enabled with Exchange 2010 Mailbox in Parent Domain

    We currently have a single Windows 2008 R2 Active Directory domain controller, and an Exchange 2010 server. We are in the process of adding a child domain on a second Active Directory server for an offsite office location for a subdivision of our company.
    The two locations will be connected via VPN.
    Currently users exist on the root domain with Exchange accounts who will be moving to the new offsite company/location. We would like to be able to move these user accounts to the child domain while maintaining their existing Exchange mailboxes and
    email addresses. Is this possible, and if so how would we do it?

    Hi Srinivasa,
    According to your description, I think you have done all the preparation.

  • Migrating to new Active Directory Domain

    Hey people,
    I have a OSX Server here at a school which I need to move from an old Active Directory domain to a new one. We are having a restructure of our IT System and 90% of our equipment is PC but have a few macs on site for the specific tasks that we need them to do.
    The OSX server was set-up 2yrs ago by some consultant which charged an arm and leg, so its up to me this time round to configure it. It is not a vital part of the IT system so a rebuild is possible, but the quicker it can moved across the better.
    So my question is. Is it easier to "modify" the settings on the OSX Server to the new domain? i.e. change field names in Server Admin. or rebuild the server from scratch?
    Our configuration is Apple clients authenticate to AD, but grab all their settings and OSX group membership from the OSX server. I have here a guide called "Leveraging Active Directory on OSX" would this be useful if I need to rebuild the server? I am fairly confident that I wont run into too many problems, but things like kerberos settings, etc may confuse me. Any help would be excellent!

    Hi,
    perform homogeneous system copy if you migrate from one server to other.
    find document at service.sap.com/systemcopy
    if you just add you local system to domain then look following

  • Exchange 2003 with Windows Server 2012 DC's only. Migrate to Exchange 2010.

    I have the following situation:

    I know this is not supported, so we want to migrate to Exchange 2010 as soon as possible.
    What is the best way to do this? Will coexsitence still work? Do I have to add an 2003 DC's again?

  • Migrate & coexist Exchange 2010 to 2010 in two different site under same domain

    Hi all,
    The initial plan was planning to coexist Exchange 2010 (old data center) & 2013 (new data center) .
    Unfortunately there was a problem of upgrading the existing exchange 2010 sp2 to 2010 sp3 and Microsoft said they don't support this anymore.
    So the only plan I can think of is build another exchange 2010 with SP3 (new data center)  to coexist with existing exchange 2010 SP2 first then followed by exchange 2013.
    I don't see any relevant info on the Internet for the coexistence of exchange 2010 SP2 and SP3. can you please share some detailed steps or info?
    Thank you very much in advanced.

    Hi all,
    The initial plan was planning to coexist Exchange 2010 (old data center) & 2013 (new data center) .
    Unfortunately there was a problem of upgrading the existing exchange 2010 sp2 to 2010 sp3 and Microsoft said they don't support this anymore.
    So the only plan I can think of is build another exchange 2010 with SP3 (new data center)  to coexist with existing exchange 2010 SP2 first then followed by exchange 2013.
    I don't see any relevant info on the Internet for the coexistence of exchange 2010 SP2 and SP3. can you please share some detailed steps or info?
    The last database upgrade exchange 2010 SP3 is unable to mount server with Exchange 2010 SP2 i.e., there is no database schema upgrade from SP1 or SP2 to SP3. Please check this link :
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4hJfdqTe5s
    You may download exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 3 from here :http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36768
    This Exchange Server 2010 SP3 software may be used to perform a new installation or to update an existing Exchange Server 2010 installation to Service Pack 2 (SP2) level.
    Moreover, to migrate the mailbox database from exchange 2010 to 2013, you may consider on this exchange migration tool (http://www.exchangemigrationtool.com/) that can be a good approach for you.

  • Help with setting up active directory domain controller/DNS - need this for Clustering

    Disclaimer: I am new to Active Directory, so please dont rule out the obvious things I may have overlooked.
    I need to set up Active Directory Domain controller on at least one server so I can run clustering. I set up the domain controller and ran Cluster validation and that failed - unable to reach writable domain controller.
    When I look at my server manager AD DS complain about DNS:
    NASE-2012-234    4015    Error    Microsoft-Windows-DNS-Server-Service    DNS Server    1/14/2014 12:54:06 AM
    The DNS server has encountered a critical error from the Active Directory. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly. The extended error debug information (which may be empty) is "". The event data contains the error.
    When I click on DNS this is the error:
    The DNS server has encountered a critical error from the Active Directory. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly. The extended error debug information (which may be empty) is "". The event data contains the error.
