Best practice for client migration from SMS 2003 to SCCM 2012 R2?

Can anyone advise what the most recommended method is for migrating SMS 2003 clients (Windows 7) to SCCM 2012 R2?
Options are:
1. SMS package to deploy ccmclean.exe to uninstall SMS 2003 client. Deploy SCCM 2012 R2 client via SCCM console push.
2. Simply push SCCM client from console installing over existing SMS 2003 client.
I am finding some folks saying this is ok to do but others saying no it is not supported by Microsoft. Even if it appears to work I do not want to do it if it is not supported by Microsoft. Can anyone provide a definitive answer?
3. Use a logon script or Group Policy preference to detect the SMS client and delete it using CCMclean and then install the SCCM client.
Appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

Hi,

I haven't seen any official document records the option 2 method. There is only upgrading from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 directly.
I think you could use a logon script or Group Policy preference to detect the SMS client and delete it using CCMclean.exe. Then use SCCM 2012 to discover these computers and push clients to them.

  • Migrating Clients from SMS 2003 to SCCM 2012 R2. Best method?

    I have set up a new SCCM 2012 R2 server to replace our existing SMS 2003.
    Our client systems (all Windows 7 SP1 x64 and x86) still have the SMS 2003 client installed but I would like to move them over to the SCCM 2012 R2 server now. I know there are several methods for installing the SCCM client (manual, push, group policy) but
    none of these provide a way to uninstall the old client.
    Is there a best practice or commonly used process for doing this? Should I be getting rid of the SMS client first by logon script or some other method and the pushing the SCCM client or some other way? Thank you for any advice.

    Hi
    I'm attempting to install SAP Best Practice for Data migration 1.40 on Win Server 2008 R2 (64 bit).
    Prerequisite error
    Installation program stops with missing file error
    The following file was not found
    ... \migration\InstallationWizard\BusinessObjects Data Services\setup.exe
    The file is necessary for successful installation. Please connect to internet or refer to Quick Guide (available on SAP note 1527151) for information regarding the above file.
    Windows installer log displays

    SAP note 1527151 does not exist or is internal.
    Any help appreciated  on what is the root cause of the error as the file does not exist in that folder in the installation zip file.
    Other prerequisite of .NET 3.5.1 met already.
    Patch is released since 20.11.2011 so I presume that it is a good installation set.

  • Best practice for linking fields from multiple entity objects

    I am currently transitioning from PHP to ADF. I'm looking for the best practice for linking data from multiple entity objects.
    Example:
    EO 'REQUESTS' has fields: req_id, name, dt, his_stat_id, her_stat_id
    EO 'STATUSES' has fields: stat_id, short_txt_descr
    'REQUESTS' is linked to EO 'STATUSES' on: STATUSES.stat_id = REQUESTS.his_status_id
    'REQUESTS' is also linked to EO 'STATUSES' on: STATUSES.stat_id = REQUESTS.her_status_id
    REQUESTS.his_status_id is independent of REQUESTS.her_status_id
    When I create a VO for REQUESTS, I want to display: REQUESTS.name, REQUESTS.dt, STATUSES.short_txt_descr (for his_stat_id), STATUS.short_txt_descr (for her_stat_id)
    What is the best practice for accomplishing this? It appears I could do it a few different ways:
    1. Create the REQUESTS VO with a LOV for his_stat_id and her_stat_id
    2. Create the REQUESTS VO with the join to STATUSES performed within the query for the VO. This would require joining on the STATUSES EO twice (his_stat_id, her_stat_id)
    3. I just started reading about View Links - would that somehow do what I'm looking for?
    I also need to be able to update his_status_id and her_status_id through the by selecting a STATUSES.short_txt_descr from a dropdown.
    Any suggestions on how to approach such a stupidly simple task?
    Using jDeveloper 11.1.2.2.0 if that makes a difference in the solution.
    Thanks ahead of time,
    CJ

    CJ,
    I vote for solution 1 as it's just your use case. As you said you what to update the his_status_id and her_status_id through the by selecting a STATUSES.short_txt_descr by a drop down. This is exactly the LOV solution.
    ViewLinks are used fro master detail navigation (which you don't do here) and Joining the data make it difficult to update (and you still need a LOV for the drop down box.

  • SAP Best Practices for Data Migration :repositories only on MS SQL Server ?

    Hi,
    I'm implementing the "SAP Best Practices for Data Migration" (see https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/bp-datamigration).
    As part of the installation you have to install MS SQL Server Express Edition. The installation guide contains detailed steps to do this. All repositories for Data Services should be running on SQL Server, according to the installation guide.
    The customer I'm working for now does not want to use SQL Server, but DB2, as company standard.
    So I use DB2 for the local and profiler repositories.
    I notice however that the web application http://localhost:8080/MigrationServices does not support DB2.The only database type you can select in the configuration area is MS SQL Server.
    Is this a limitation, a by design ?

    Hans,
    The current release of SAP Best Practices for Data Migration, v1.32, supports only MS SQL Server.  The intent when developing the DM content was to quickly set up a temporary, standardized data migration environment, using tools that are available to everyone.  SQL Server Express was chosen to host the repositories, because it is easy to set up and can be downloaded for free.  Sone users have successfully deployed the content on Oracle XE, but as you have found, the MigrationServices web application works only with SQL Server.
    The next release, including the web app, will support SQL Server and Oracle, but not DB2.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Best Practice for Removing Zeroes from Database

    Does anyone have some clever bits of code or best practices for evaluating a database and instances of zeroes? I'm working on cleaning up our rules file and am thinking the best way to start would be to write some code to look for zeroes and write them to a log file. This would at least indicate if there was even a problem with zeroes (which there may or may not be).
    Any suggestions out there / utilities / code samples?
    Thanks.

    We accomplished this using data extracts from a subset of scenarios/years/entities/accounts to ensure that all of our potential rules could be checked to ensure they were not writting zero's. This worked pretty well for our purposes, a text editor called EmEditor allows for VB macros in it pretty easily and we could write a quick macro to check for strings ending in "; 0." You may also want to review your check box of calculated in your extract and see if the zeros are a result of calculations. A rule output could work pretty well, although it would take some defining as you would have to write it out in a sub and make sure that you capture the data of all subroutines if your zero's are rule driven or actual inputs. May want to review some if you have very small insignificant values getting written, seen items that have one value 13 places to the right of the decimal that were not really signficant.

  • Best Practices for Removing Shots from BDMV folder

    CS6 Production Premium Suite
    Win7x64
    Canon XA10
    I would appreciate feedback on the best practices for the following situation:
    Using Windows Explorer, I copy the BDMV folder from the XA10 to my Talk2 project folder.
    The BDMV folder has three one hour shots (talks) where each shot is one hour called Talk1, Talk2, and Talk3.
    Each shot consists of several MTS files in the STREAM folder since MTS files have a maximum file size so a new MTS file is created when a given MTS file reaches the maximum file size.
    Since I only want to have Talk2 stuff in my Talk2 project folder, I need to remove the Talk1 and Talk3 stuff from the BDMV folder.
    I delete the Talk1 and Talk3 MTS files from the STREAM folder.
    I delete the Talk1 and Talk3 CPI files from the CLIPINF folder.
    I leave the PLAYLIST folder as is.
    Using the Media Browser, I import Talk2 (which consists of two MTS files).
    I edit the clip.
    This procedure seems to work, but I do not know if there are any "got you" issues.
    Thanks in advance.

    Oh, don't do it that way.  I know a lot of people do, heck, my boss does, but it's just asking for trouble.
    Treat your card as if it was your original tape master (because it is).  It is the most important thing you have.  Don't delete or move any part of it. 
    If you want to break up the talks, do it as you shoot them.  Use separate cards for each talk and archive each one separately.  There is too much valuable information in the structure of the card format.  You may not need it now but your editing program may need it later.

  • Best practices for logging results from Looped steps

    Hi all
    I would like to start a discussion  to document best practices for logging results (to reports and databases) from Looped Steps 
    As an application example - let's say you are developing a test for one of NI's analog input or output cards and need to measure a voltage across multiple inputs or outputs.
    One way to do that would be to create a sequence that switches the appropriate signals and performs a "Voltage Measurement" test in a loop.    
    What are your techniques for keeping track of the individual measurements so that they can be traced to the individual signal paths that are being measured?
    I have used a variety of techniques such as
    i )creating a custom step type that generates unique identifiers for each iteration of the loop.    This required some customization to the results processing . Also the sequence developer had to include code to ensure that a unique identifier was generated for each iteration
    ii) Adding an input parameter to the test function/vi, passing loop iteration to it and adding this to Additional results parameters to log.   

    I have attached a simple example (LV 2012 and TS 2012) that includes steps inside a loop structure as well as a looped test.
    If you enable both database and report generation, you will see the following:
    1)  The numeric limit test in the for loop always generates the same name in the report and database which makes it difficult to determine the result of a particular iteration
    2) The Max voltage test report includes the paramater as an additional result but the database does not include any differentiating information
    3) The Looped Limit test generates both uniques reports and database entries - you can easily see what the result for each iteration is.   
    As mentioned, I am seeking to start a discussion for how others handle results for steps inside loops.    The only way I have been able to accomplish a result similar to that of the Looped step (unique results and database entry for each iteration of the loop) is to modify the process model results processing.

  • Crypt acquire context failed with 0x8009000f after upgrade from sms 2003 to SCCM 2007 SP1

    I've upgraded clients from SMS 2003 SP3 to SCCM 2007 SP1.
    In the SCCM console some ressources are showing as not being client.
    If I look on the machine, I can see that client is installed but the client cannot communicate with the management point.
    CCMEXEC.log shows the following error message :
    Crypt acquire context failed with 0x8009000f.
    Failed to create certificate 8009000f CcmExec 21/04/2009 9:49:10 1948 (0x079C)
    CCMDoCertificateMaintenance() failed (0x8009000f).
    So, the issue is related to certificate
    If I go to C:\documents and settings\all users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys and delete the file begining by  19c5cf... and then restart the client the problem is solved.
    Can someone explain what is happening ?
    What can I do to prevent this problem
    Kind regards

    In Server 2008 R2 SP1 (when Pushing Out SCCM 2012 clients)
    I just added another account to the security (local Administrators) for the key which starts with 19c5cf...
    and restarted the SMS AGENT HOST SERVICE.
    Thats also resolved the problem. (NETWORK was the only security account on the key file).

  • Best practice for database migration in 11g

    Hello,
    Database migration is required due to OS change.  Here, I have two database instances say A and B in the old server where RDBMS_VERSION is 11.1.0.7.0. They need to be migrated into a new OS where the oracle has been installed with version 11.2.0.2.0.
    Since all data + objects need to be migrated into the new server, I want to know what the best practice is and how to do that. Thanks in advance for your necessary guidance.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Prosenjit

    Hi Prosenjit,
    you have some options.
    1. RMAN Restore: you can restore your database via rman to the new host, and then upgrade it.
        Please follow instruction from MOS Note: RMAN Restore of Backups as Part of a Database Upgrade (Doc ID 790559.1)

  • Best Practice for EJB calls from servlet?

    Hi folks
    I could not find general rules for making calls to an stateful EJB from the web container (e.g. from a backingBean). In some books they say it is a bad programming style calling them directly from a common servlet. The book says create first an HTTPSession Object and from there call the stateful EJB.
    I'm a bit confused because, I'm missing some best practice guide from where to initiate such calls.
    Can somebody please point me in the right direction?
    Kind Regards
    Bruno
    Edited by: zajoho on Oct 30, 2008 11:14 PM

    Hi Bruno,
    The main issue with the combination of stateful session beans and servlets is the servlet threading model.
    It is dangerous to store a stateful session bean reference in servlet instance state, since the servlet instance
    can be accessed concurrently, yet a stateful session bean reference is intended to be used by only one
    client.
    As you point out, one alternative is to store the reference in the HttpSession. That associates the reference
    with a particular client, which matches the stateful session bean programming model.

Maybe you are looking for
