Best Way to move MB database from single XCH 2010 to 2013 DAG

Hi,
We are migrating from a Single Exchange 2010 sp3 server to a 2-node exchange 2013 DAG cluster, located in another AD site.
I can move a mailbox from 2010 to 2013 without issue, but the WAN link between 2010 and 2013 is very small.
It will take us too long to move all mailboxes with move-mailbox over the line.
Is there another way to move the mailboxes or Databases more quickly?
I was thinking about copying the DB's to a physical disk from 2010 and then move and mount it on 2013. Is that even possible? I explored the possibility to seed the DB to 2013, but don't have the option to do so. 2010 is installed on 2008R2 standard.
We prefer a short downtime and move over everthing in one go as opposed to having coeexistance for longer period of time to allow the move mailbox over the WAN to complete.
Thanks for any suggestions.

You can't move the databases from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013.
I can think of three options.
1.  Move the Exchange 2013 server to the same LAN as the Exchange 2010 server, move the mailboxes, then move the server back.
2.  Move the Exchange 2010 server to the same LAN as the Exchange 2013 server and move the mailboxes.
3.  Install a new Exchange 2010 server on the same LAN as the current Exchange 2010 server, create a DAG, add mailbox database copies on the new Exchange 2010 server, move that server to the same LAN as the Exchange 2013 server, activate the databases
on that LAN, and then move the mailboxes.
3a.  A variation of #3 is to build the Exchange 2010 server on the same LAN as the Exchange 2013 server and perform a manual seed of the database copies.  This is more trouble than option 3.
Moving Exchange servers between sites is possible but there are other issues you would need to solve.  You might be best off just getting a temporary increase in your WAN link capacity for the period of the mailbox move.

    Paragon even has non-destriuctive conversion utility if you do want to change drive.
    Hard to imagine using 3TB that isn't NTFS. Mac uses GPT for default partition type as well as HFS+

    Use iCloud. First, on your iPhone, open Settings > iCloud, and enable Contacts, so your contacts will appear on all your devices logged in iCloud.

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.

  • What is the best way to move Lightroom 3 from my old ssd to my new ssd?

    I recently installed a new and larger ssd on my computer.  When I attempted to clone my old ssd, it corrupted my old windows 7 on the original ssd and left me with a blue screen version on my new ssd.  So after reformatting the new ssd and completing a clean install of windows 8 I am ready to move my lightroom 3 over.  I want to do this without losing all my work on my photos and I am not enthused with cloning my old ssd as it did not work and left me with days of frustration.  Please help with the best way to accomplish this.
    Thanks,
    Dan Rafferty

    Install Lr 3 to your new SSD using the original cd.
    You can also downlad version 3.6 from here: Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows
    Then copy your catalog, previews, and images over from the old disk, and make sure everything goes to the same location as on the old disk.

  • Best way to move Onenote files from offline file location.

    We have a majority of our users now on Win 7 using Office 2010.
    We have redirected folders with offline files syncing Included in this location is the OneNote files.
    After starting to investigate Win 8.1 Update 1 and office 2013. We noticed the message OneNote 2013 throws up about issues with having OneNote files included in the Offline files location (The first version to offer this message). And have started to notice
    issues with users OneNote files corrupting etc.
    Almost certainly from the Offline files syncing and OneNote's own in built cache\syncing abilities. 
    We investigated excluding *.one files from offline syncing but quickly eliminated this because users then wont be able to create any further *.one files in this location.
    My two questions are-
    1) How bad could the issues with corruption of OneNote files get if they stay in their current location? We are concerned the more our users get to know how useful OneNote is the more issues we will get.
    2) Is there an easy way to move the OneNote files to another network location for multiple users with least disruption to them as possible?

  • Best way to move redo log from one disk group to another in ASM?

    Hi All,
    Our db is 10.2.0.3 RAC db. And database servers are window 2003 server.
    We need to move more than 50 redo logs (some are regular and some are standby) which are not redundant from one disk group to another. Say we need to move from disk group 1 to 2. Here are the options we are thinking about but not sure which one is the best from easiness and safety prospective.
    Thank you very much for your help in advance.
    Shirley
    Option 1:
    1)     shutdown immediate
    2)     copy log files from disk group 1 to disk group2 using RMAN (need to research on this)
    3)     startup mount
    4)     alter database rename file ….
    5)     Open database open
    6)     delete the redo files from disk group 1 in ASM (how?)
    Option 2:
    1)     create a set of redo log groups in disk group 2
    2)     drop the redo log groups in disk group 1 when they are inactive and have been archived
    3)     delete the redo files associated with those dropped groups from disk group 1 (how?) (According to Oracle menu: when you drop the redo log group the operating system files are not deleted and you need to manually delete those files)
    Option 3:
    1)     create a set of redo members in disk group 2 for each redo log group in disk group 1
    2)     drop the redo log memebers in disk group 1
    3)     delete the redo files from disk group 1 associated with the dropped members

    Absolutely not, they are not even remotely similar concepts.
    OMF: Oracle Managed Files. It is an RDMBS feature, no matter what your storage technology is, Oracle will take care of file naming and location, you only have to define the size of a file, and in the case of a tablespace on an OMF DB Configuration you only need to issue a command similar to this:
    CREATE TABLESPACE <TSName>; So the OMF environment creates an autoextensible datafile at the predefined location with 100M by default as its initial size.
    On ASM it should only be required to specify '+DGroupName' as the datafile or redo log file argument so it can be fully managed by ASM.

  • Best way to move Oracle database to another machine

    Hello,
    I'm trying to find the best solution for that case:
    On first Unix machine I'm running 10g database. Whole oracle (binary files + datafiles + index + redo) takes about 350GB from my first storage.
    On second Unix machine (and second storage) I'd like to run exactly the same instance (the first one is going to be a backup server).
    I work in real OLTP environment, and I can only afford a 4-5 hours of downtime (in the night) to move from server 1. to 2.
    Could you recommend me the best solution for moving database to no. 2. My problem is, that between storage 1. and storage 2. I've only 30MB/s bandwidth, sequence:
    1) instance_on_1: shutdown immediate
    2) scp /u01/oracle server2:/u01/oracle
    3) instance_on_3: startup
    will take about 3-4 hours, so I would have no time to additional tasks.
    Best regards
    R.

  • What's the best way to move photo folders from internal to external HD using LR to track change?

    I am trying to move my photo folders from Pictures on an iMac running Mavericks to an external HD as my main photo storage and to do so with LR 5.6 keeping track of the folders. I have 20K plus photos in the Catalog in the iMac's HD and wouldn't want LR to loose track of the photos. I am not creating duplicates but moving all the files w/original photos and edits.
    Is there a good and safe method to use LR to perform this task?

    In your operating system, move the photos to the external HD, keeping the folder structure unchanged, and then in Lightroom reconnect using these instructions: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

  • What's the best way to move a project from one HD to another?

    I have a movie I've been working on for 2 years.  The entire project is on an external hard drive.  I recently got a new macbook pro and would like to take the project off of the external hard drive and move it to my macbook pro hard drive (my external is starting to act a little goofy and I want to rescue my project until I can get a new one). 
    There is tons of media for my project.  I've read that using media manager is an option.  I tried this but am having difficulty locating all of the media to reconnect once I do, but all the media should be in the same place, so I can't figure out why I can't find a lot of it to reconnect. 
    Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?  None of the media is offline when I open the project from my external HD.  If you know a better method than media manager, please share.  I've never had to execute this kind of proceedure before so it's new to me.  Thank you.

         The files will be eating up all your disc space and affecting performance. Setting the Scratch disc only comes into affect if you are capturing files from video sources via video cards or firewire/thunderbolt connections. The scratch disc records the video as data. The scratch disk needs to be robust enough to capture at a high data rate to capture uncompressed video in HighDef or Standard Def. This usually requires a RAID drive. If you never capture uncompressed video via a video card (AJA Kona/Blackmagic/Avid Mojo), you can set your root drive as the scratch disc. The problem there is it will hog up disc space. That is why most editors use an external drive to be the scratch disc.
