Building new deployment server to replace current server 2003 deployment box

My current deployment server is running server 2003 with MDT 2010 Version: 5.1.1642.01 and Waik 6.1.7600.16385 (x86) I am in the process of building a server 2008 R2 x64 box which will be replacing the 2003 box. I am just trying to figure out the best,
smartest and easiest way to go about getting all of this set up. I want to use all the most up to date tools such as MDT 2013 and the latest version of Waik which i have already downloaded. Should i use the same deployment share or start over from scratch?
any recommendations tips and directions would be much appreciated.
Thank You

Hi,
For WAIK, it has changed to WADK(Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit), which contains all of the tools that you need to customize, assess, and deploy Windows operating systems to new computers.
Here is the reference:
Windows Deployment with the Windows ADK
Windows ADK Overview
If possible please just set up MDT 2013 with the same deployment share as the share contains most of the available resources. Here is a reference I can found out to install and configure MDT 2013 on a Windows server 2012 R2, hope this may help:
Installing and configuring MDT 2013 on Windows Server 2012 R2
Please note: Since the website is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.
For more information regarding MDT 2013, please take a look at the below link:

Building New SQL Server To Migrate from Old one and need to figure out how I need to license it.

So my head is spinning on setting up a New SQL Server.
Current setup is Microsoft Server 2003 Standard and Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard. Nothing was maintained with Software assurance.
Environment:
Database is Limited to 2008 R2 Standard as Highest release I can use with it. So I know I need to do a Downgrade.
New Server can Be either Microsoft Server standard 2008 or 2012 x64.
The Domain Controller for right now is going to remain a Machine with Server 2003 Standard x86. It is Licensed with 30 Cals.
The office Environment:
The Office has any where from 5-7 employees.
They have 3 Office locations and employees are in 1 of the three locations depending on the day.
Between all 3 Offices they have 27 computers.
Employees also can access multiple machines through out the day.
Reception, Checkout and Third employee will be at their own machine.
3 Employees will be accessing their main machine but also float to at the most 6 other machines located in the office these machines are logged in in the morning using their own user name Employees don't login or logout on them throughout the day.
If they are in The Main Office they access the SQL server machine directly.
If they are in one of the two satellite offices the Employees will access the SQL server through the front end running on Terminal Services running on the SQL server.
My New Server will be Either a 4 or 6 core Xeon Processor.
So the Questions.
Lets say the scenario is I am buying Windows 2012 Server and Cals and Buying SQL 2012 Server and Cals and will be downgrading both to 2008.
How do I need to license Windows Server? How many Cals do I need and what way should they be setup?
How do I need to license SQL Server? By Server? By Core? How Many Cals do I need?
Thank You.

Hi,
In addition, basically a downgrade is possible in case the SQL Server editions are the same. Downgrade is only supported in case a downgrade of e.g. SQL2012 Enterprise to SQL2008R2 Enterprise is done.
I have attached a link to the SQL Server 2012 Licensing Reference Guide. Look at “Upgrades, Downgrades and Step-Ups” section of the document and check which version and editions are supported for the downgrade.

Hope it helps.

New Windows server 2003 Hyper-V guest fails to boot

Hello,
I'm currently doing some virtualization experiments on my new server hardware. The host hardware is:
IBM x3650 M4
x2 Xeon E5-2609
32GB RAM
x2 480 GB SSDs
Server OS: Windows server 2012
I'd like to test some legacy app virtualization. I've configured a VM and have installed Windows server 2003. The install is done via DVD. The issue at hand is that after the initial installation, the server fails to boot. The VM goes into a reboot loop
and so far the only error logging I'm able to find is in the hosts event log.

If its relevant, the host is not yet activated license wise. I downloaded the demo version so I could test my idea before making a purchase to go ahead with full implementation.
As it stands right now I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this. Many searches on google have not turned up any helpful info. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi ,
First , please refer to the supported guest OS of windows 2012 hyper-v :
http://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh831531.aspx
2003/R2 should be with sp2 and max 2 virtual processors .
"'LegacyTS' was reset because an unrecoverable error occurred on a virtual processor that caused a triple fault."
If the issue is not due to the above items , you can try to check the "CPU compatibility " in that VM settings for troubleshooting:
Hope it helps

Windows Server 2003 AD Migration Problem

Hi Team,
I'm currently working on a project on Migrating our Windows Server 2003 AD server (old Machine) to our new Windows Server 2003 machine (PDC-AD). I successfully promoted our new AD server (PDC-AD) as domain controller, but upon checking, the server is not promoted
as Global catalog with following errors shown below.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.PDC-AD>dcdiag /q
Warning: PDC-AD has not finished promoting to be a GC.
Check the event log for domains that cannot be replicated.
Warning: PDC-AD is not advertising as a global catalog.
Check that server finished GC promotion.
Check the event log on server that enough source replicas for the GC ar
e available.
......................... PDC-AD failed test Advertising
There are warning or error events within the last 24 hours after the
SYSVOL has been shared. Failing SYSVOL replication problems may cause
Group Policy problems.

Is there any tool I can use to further isolate the problem?.
Thanks

Hi Vivian,
Thanks for your reply, for additional info, I didn't use Active directory migration tool. Below is my step-by-step procedure.
1. Installed Windows Server 2003 on a new machine.
2. Promote the new Windows Server 2003 machine as a Domain controller. New Windows Server 2003 machine is promoted successfully.
3. But upon checking of the server, the new machine is not promoted as a Global Catalog.
Below are the event logs from Directory services.
1. Promotion of the local domain controller to a global catalog has been delayed because the directory partition occupancy requirements have not been met. The occupancy requirement level and current
domain controller level are as follows.
Occupancy requirement level:
6
Domain controller level:
0
The following registry key value defines the directory partition occupancy requirement level.
Registry key value:
HKeyLocalMachine\System\ CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters\Global Catalog Partition Occupancy
Higher occupancy requirement levels include the lower levels. The levels are defined as follows:
(0) Indicates no occupancy requirement.
(1) Indicates at least one read-only directory partition in the site has been added by the Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC).
(2) Indicates at least one directory partition in the site has been fully synchronized.
(3) Indicates all read-only directory partitions in the site have been added by the KCC (at least one has been synchronized).
(4) Indicates all directory partitions in the site have been fully synchronized.
(5) Indicates all read-only directory partitions in the forest have been added by the KCC (at least one has been synchronized).
(6) Indicates all directory partitions in the forest have been fully synchronized.
2. The Global Catalog has no intra-site sources for at least one partition. Replication to the Global Catalog is limited to scheduled replication from inter-site sources.

11g performance counters error on Server 2003

Environment - fresh install of 11g (11.1.0.6.0) on a fresh Server 2003 R2 box. All configuration is largely out-of-the-box.
When I start the "Oracle Counters for Windows Performance Monitor" item from the start menu, I get a dialog box error with the following:
Unable to add these counters:
\Oracle11 Sorts(0)\sorts in memory/sec
\Oracle11 Sorts(0)\sorts on disk/sec
Clicking OK to that error, Performance Monitor does come up but when I try to add a counter, there is no Oracle-related Performance Object to choose, just the standard Windows, ASP, etc. ones.
Any ideas?

Personally I'd rather use Grid Control on x86-64 Linux.
But, I was asking about the error message I'm getting in hopes that perhaps someone else has seen this to. I wasn't asking what operating system to choose for Oracle, nor what management tool is best, though I do appreciate your feedback. As for why: simple curiousity. I want to poke around to see how 11g metrics are exposed and instrumented within Windows' own management frameworks, since I run into Oracle-on-Windows quite a bit. Pushing buttons in test environments just to see what they do is how we learn the strengths and weaknesses of all these technology products.

New Deployment of Exchange Server 2013.

Hello All,
Good Day !!
We are planning to install Exchange 2013 Mailbox and Client Access on single server ( Windows Server 2012 Standard).
Currently Active Directory roles runs on windows server 2008R2 Sp1.
Its a new deployment for exchange as currently we are using Godaddy email server ( Can we migrate all our emails from Go daddy to our exchange Server).
Also confirm current active directory will support the installation and deployment of Exchange Server 2013.
How much HDD, RAM and CPU cores are required to support exchange Server Mailbox and Client Access roles( Users are 30 ).
How many Static IP's and SSl certificates are required for exchange.
Atlast as i said its new deployment please suggest if anything else is missing from my end.

Hello,
I recommend using professional cheat-sheet articles for Exchange 2013 sizing:
http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/exchange-server-2013/planning-architecture/exchange-2013-sizing-cheat-sheet-part1.html
http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/exchange-server-2013/planning-architecture/exchange-2013-sizing-cheat-sheet-part2.html
The server's requirements depend on many factors ie. number of emails received/sent, mailboxes sizes etc.
In addition your AD environment's level supports Exchange 2013 deployment. You will need only prepare your schema and forest for Exchange installation. You will need also at least one public IP address and SSL certificate for that server.
Hope it helps,
Adam

New SCVMM Server - Migrate Database From Current SCVMM Server

The hardware on which our current Virtual Manager 2012 R2/SQL Server environment resides is due for decommission.
Consequently, we are deploying a new physical server on which VMM/SQL will be located.
The new server will have a different host name from the original server.
I need to retain all the configuration etc in our current VMM environment and migrate it to the new server.
Can this be achieved by simply migrating the VMM database to the new server or are there any other steps required?

Yes, you can move your VMM databse to another SQL server, and then use the existing databse option when installing VMM.

New deploy child domain certificate server didn't publish root trust certificate to the client

Child domain certificate didn't install into child domain workstation.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/281271?wa=wsignin1.0
Certification Authority configuration to publish certificates in Active Directory of trusted domain
Any advise?
Thanks.

Hi,
>>New deploy child domain certificate server didn't publish root trust certificate to the client
Is this an enterprise root CA or standalone CA?
If it is an enterprise root CA, it will automatically use Group Policy to propagate its certificate to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities certificate store for all users and computers in the domain. If it is an standalone CA, we can configure GPO
to distribute the certificate.
Regarding how to use policy to distribute certificates, the following article can be referred to for more information.
Use Policy to Distribute Certificates
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772491.aspx
We can run command gpupdate/force to immediately update group policy and then we can refresh the certificates in certmgr.msc to see if the certificate will come up.
Besides, for certificate questions, we can also ask for suggestions in the following forum.

New Coldfusion Server Setup in Flashbuilder and Coldfusion Builder not working

I have not found the combination for adding a new Coldfusion Server in Flash Builder 4.7 or Coldfusion Builder 2.01 with Coldfusion 10. I am running windows 7 64bit. on IIS 7. Coldfusion 10 is running fine.
All was well with Coldfusion 9 Flash Builder 4.6 and Coldfusion Builder 2.0.
Local Server Settings for CF9 were
Server Home C:\Coldfusion9
Document Root C:\inetpub\wwwroot
Version: 9.0.x
Now as soon as I put in C:\Coldfusion10 or C:\Coldfusion10\cfusion I get an error "Server home is not valid".
Any hints on getting this going.

Hi Jeff,
Can you let us know the directory location for wwwroot on your system.
jeffcg2 wrote:
That does not work. As soon as I put C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion in the Server Home I get the error Server Home Invalid. I have uninstalled Coldfusion 10 and re-installed added the latest updates. Coldfusion 10 is working fine running on IIS 7.
Not necessarily. As soon as you select the "cfusion" location, it would automatically pick the wwwroot location.
jeffcg2 wrote:
With Coldfusion 10 , since you have C:\ColdFusion10\cfusion\wwwroot. as the Document root will this only work if you install the included web server?

Just FYI, new Windows Server 2012 R2 RRAS Multitenant Gateway Deployment Guide

New! Windows Server 2012 R2 RRAS Multitenant Gateway Deployment Guide
This new guide is available on the Web at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn641937.aspx. It is also available for download in Word format at TechNet Gallery at
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Windows-Server-2012-R2-37eb8e17
If you work for a Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or an organization that's planning on deploying cloud technologies, you might be interested in the new Windows Server 2012 R2 RRAS Multitenant Gateway Deployment Guide.
You may already know that in Windows Server® 2012 R2, the Remote Access server role includes the Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) role service. (It also includes DirectAccess and Web Application Proxy, however those role services will not be discussed
in this article.)
The new deployment guide demonstrates how to use Windows PowerShell to deploy RRAS as a virtual machine (VM)-based multitenant software gateway and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) router that allows CSPs and Enterprises to enable datacenter and cloud network
traffic routing between virtual and physical networks, including the Internet.
You can use the gateway with VM networks by using either Hyper-V Network Virtualization or Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) - but using Network Virtualization is recommended due to VLAN limitations such as difficult management and a limited number of
available VLAN IDs.
If you're using System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SC VMM), you can use SC VMM to deploy Windows Server Gateway; however even if you are using SC VMM, you can manage the gateway with the same Windows PowerShell commands that are used for the RRAS Multitenant
Gateway. (Some Windows Server Gateway features are configurable only with Windows PowerShell.)
For information on deploying Windows Server Gateway with SCVMM, see the Test Lab Guide: Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Network Virtualization with System Center 2012 R2 VMM, at
http://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=39284
With the RRAS Multitenant Gateway, you can create site-to-site VPN connections between your tenants' physical locations and your cloud datacenter. You can also provide tenants with point-to-site VPN connections that allow tenant Administrators to access
and manage their VM resources from anywhere. The RRAS Multitenant Gateway also allows you to configure Network Address Translation (NAT), so that tenant VMs can access the Internet, and you can deploy dynamic routing by configuring the gateway and tenant gateways
with BGP.

Recently decomissioned old SCCM 2007 server and replaced with 2012 R2- How do I point everything to the new SCCM server?

I've tried many things that I've found in articles. Gone as far as ADSI edit. Not sure what else I can do. The old server was setup by someone else and never really worked correctly. I'd basically like to start fresh with this new install.
Thanks

Follow my R2 install guide to get your site up.
http://sccmentor.wordpress.com/2014/01/08/sccm-2012-r2-step-by-step-installation-guide/
You won't need to extend the schema if this has already been done for the 2k7 site. The System Management container could already exist. If so add in permissions for the new site server. If not create and follow the guide. Once done set up your boundaries
and discovery methods accordingly. Once you start to populate the console with clients then installing the client will remove the old 2k7 client (if it was installed) as part of the 2012 client install.

Migration of Crystal Reports Server XI to new network server

We are running CR Server XI on an older network server that is becoming unstable. We would like to migrate CR Server and all its reports to a newer network server.
Given that there are around 200 reports published and being run from its current location, is there any way to easily move the program and reports? Any easy way to mass-change the ODBC database server info which is present in all these reports?

I wrote this a couple years ago and you may want to open a message with the deployment team to verify or get updated steps.
But this used to work fine when the version/patchwere the same in source/destination and was much faster then the import wizard.
you can migrate the CMS database from the CCM by selecting the copy from data source.
**CMS Source**
1) Prior to copying the CMS database it's easiest to simply disable auditing on the source CMS database to avoid errors on the destination.
**CMS Destination**
2) Create a CMS database or instance for the destination
3) Stop the CMS and all other services (page,cache,etc)
4) Double click on the CMS
5) Select the configuration tab
6) Choose copy from datasource
7) Click specify on the CMS Data source
8) Select source CMS database (make sure middle ware i.e. ODBC connection is installed)
9) Select destination CMS database
**CMS Source**
10) Stop CMS and all other services (page,cache,etc)
**CMS Destination**
11) Start the CMS
12) Login to CMC select servers, delete all servers associated with the source CMS if they exist
13) Stop CMS on the destination server
14) Double click CMS on the destination server
15) Select the configuration tab
16) Select the change CMS cluster name to (and choose your server or cluster)
17) Run regedit
18) Go to HKEYLocalMachine\Software\Businessobjects\suite 11.5\Enterprise\CMSClustermembers
19) Ensure that only the proper members are defined (i.e. your computer name only or your cluster members only). Remove anything that was added from the source system
**CMS Source**
20) Restart the CMS and all other services (page,cache,etc)
21) Login to CMC select servers, delete all servers associated with the destination CMS if they exist
22) Go to HKEYLocalMachine\Software\Businessobjects\suite 11.5\Enterprise\CMSClustermembers
23) Ensure that only the proper members are defined (i.e. your computer name only or your cluster members only). Remove anything that was added from the destination system
**CMS Destination**
24) Delete any directories in the businessobjects\businessobjects 115\filestore
25) Copy your FRS from the source businessobjects\businessobjects 115\filestore to businessobjects\businessobjects 115\filestore on the destination
26) Restart CMS - Done
NOTE: If XI replace 115 with 11. IF CE10 replace business objects with crystal enterprise and 115 with 10

Export Release Build - Problem with Server Settings

Hello, i have a big problem and i searched the whole day yesterday but didnt found an answer...
I started a Flex Mobile and PHP Project. The Project has a Data/Services included wich loads some customer from a database (sql)... for the first a
used Zend and try it local (http://localhost and used the htdocs Folder of Zend)... EVERYTHING WORKS PRETTY FINE... so NOW my problem
I wanted to export this project to a release build for my android phone... so the first warning of Flash Builder ist that the project ist currently configured to access data services from a local url. Before exporting the application, you may need to deploy your services to a remote server, then change the server root URL for your project. Click here to change server settings.
When i click the button i get the server setting.
Web root: C:\Program Files (x86)\Zend\Apache2\htdocs
Root URL: http://localhost
whe i change it now i get an eror:"The selected web root folder does not exist (i attached i screenshot of it).
i entered de domain of my server (i also tried the ip) at Root URL. And i think there ist a problem with the Web root...? i get scary

i know WHY Flashbuilder tells me that i have to change the setting when i deploy on the device
my problem ist that i got this error...
and the domain wich i have in the screenshot should only explain how i tried it...
i entered my server url (the real domain) and i entered the folder "app" wich i have created via ftp on my server...
BUT i also get this error (lik in the screenshot)
i think at ROOT URL i cant make lot mistakes .... http://myserver.de or the ip
but i think maybe my web root ist incorrect? i entered here the folder wich is directliy on my server...?
i dont know exactly but i got an error like in the screen

Need suggestion on new environment (server - database combi).

Hello,
We have two database instances (DB1 and DB2 - Both 10g) each of size 10TB. Currently, both the databases are mounted on same AIX server.
There are several schemas in each database. There will be data transfer activity between two databases. Currently we are using DB links for the same.
We are planning to build a new environment(Server / Servers) with data from both the databases.Need your inputs and suggestions on building / designing the new environment.
2 Servers with DB1 and DB2 mounted on each seperately. - Pros and cons ?
1 server with DB1 and DB2 mounted on the same server. - Pros and cons ?
1 server with 1 DB (Merging both schemas from DB1 and DB2). - Pros and cons ?
Please suggest your thoughts, advantages and constraints of the different approaches.
A few things which come to my mind instantly are : Modularity , Data transfer , Security , Ease of maintenance , Expandability of business , Architectural recommendations , Backup and Restore.
Thanks,
Anand.

Hi Arjun.Singh,
Now can I create a new database with name JKL at Server B with backup of PQR?You need a target to use the duplicate command in rman.
Is your backup of PQR a image copy?
If so you could use a classic clone procedure to create a new database.

Tycho
