Can i migrate server 10.4 to server 10.7

I have a 10.4.11 power PC server setup with some 150 users home directories as a standalone server that I want to replace, and have just bought a mac mini with 10.7 server preinstalled. Haven't started it up yet. I want to migrate the users and settings from the old server to the 10.7 server. What is the best procedure?

Apple have a document about upgrading to Lion Server available here http://www.apple.com/macosx/server/resources/documentation.html the specific document is the first one listed.
There is also a tutorial listed here http://www.macresearch.org/tutorial-backup-your-open-directory-server-using-laun chd complete with a script which might help. However you should be aware that Lion Server is quite different from previous version and some previous services like FTP and NFS are no longer accessible via Server.app or Server Admin, both these services can be manually setup.
If one merely concentrates on user accounts then there are two options you could try, see another one of my posts here https://discussions.apple.com/message/16430995#16430995 which describes this.

Can I migrate server settings from 10.5 to 10.9

I just got a Mac-mini server running OSX 10.9.3 and Server 3.1.1 and want to migrate share points, users and permissions from an Intel Xserve running OSX Server 10.5.8.

Yes. If you are only moving users, groups, and data from one server to the next, this is relatively easy.
If you want to run the risk of migrating your entire Open Directory domain, you can export it from the 10.5 server and import it into the 10.9 server. This will get everything, including passwords. But the everything also means you will get all the junk from 10.5, including MCX, the separate password server auth authorities, etc.
I tend to go for user attributes and then enforce a new password policy. Most of us were not thinking security and password policy back in the 10.5 days, so rethinking it is a good thing. In this case, use Workgroup Manager to export your users and groups to flat files or use dsexport to do the trick. You can use something like:
dsexport ~/Desktop/exportedUsers /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 dsRecTypeStandard:Users -e "dsAttrTypeStandard:AuthenticationAuthority" -e "dsAttrTypeStandard:Expire" -e "dsAttrTypeStandard:Change" -e "dsAttrTypeStandard:Password" -e "dsAttrTypeStandard:AltSecurityIdentities" -e "dsAttrTypeStandard:JPEGPhoto" -e "dsAttrTypeStandard:MCXFlags"
This will create a flat file containing user attributes that can then be imported into 10.9. Make sure you remove the root, diradmin, and VPN Key user accounts. This method will not give passwords, but it will trim much of the unwanted attributes. Inspect the file and add more exclusions if you are getting more stuff like MCX.
Alternatively, if you only have a handful of users, you might simply opt to recreate them on the new server. Then recreate your shares and move the data, allowing permissions to be set on the move of the data.
Don't forget DNS. Don't forget to implement a backup. Test. Trust by verify. Plan your access model.

How can i Migrate a database from DB2 to SQL Server 2008r2.

Hi Gurus,
Kindly help me letting me know the process for migrating the database from DB2 to SQL Server.
1) Is there any way to migrate a database from DB2 to SqlServer. (My assumption is we can not migrate database, if wrong correct me gurus).
2) Or we can only transfer data from that DB2 database to SQL Server (Using SSIS packages).
Please help me knowing the process to migrate the data from DB2 server to MSSQL server. Even am reading the documents available in the web.
Thanks in advance.. :)

Microsoft provide a migration assistant for DB2 to SQL Server:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=45296
SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) is a free supported tool from Microsoft that simplifies database migration process from DB2 to SQL Server and Azure SQL DB. SSMA automates all aspects of migration including migration assessment analysis, schema and
SQL statement conversion and data migration.
Hope that helps

Is the HDD in the 2009 15" MBP dead? (The original source of your data) If not, you might want ot take it out and put it in an enclosure.
You might try spotlight on know files to see if that gives you any clues where your data is located.
You might down load from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it. It should show you all of the files you have on your MBP and enable to locate them.
Ciao.

Migrating server hardware replacement oes11 to oes11sp2

This summer I will be replacing server hardware at one of my schools. Currently it has sles11sp1 / oes11 -- put in in 2012. The patches are up to date for this version, but I have not upgraded/migrated it to a newer version yet. I have played in a test environment with the yast2 wagon migration from sles11sp1/oes11 to sles11sp2/oes11sp1 -- no problems. However trying to find notes on how to do a migration and identity transfer from source server hardware to new target server hardware. Found oes11sp2 migration tool administration guide. I haven't found anything telling me how to setup sles on the target server box ie server name etc. Once I have the target sles server setup, I realize I need to install OES and select the "Novell pre-migration server" option during this installation.
Current source server = sles11sp1/oes11 and has iPrint, Nss and netstorage installed. Installed in tree with oes11 and oes11sp1 servers.
The main tree server has sles11sp2/oes11sp1 on it. We will need to upgrade it to sles11sp3/oes11sp2 this summer. I'm fine with doing the yast2 wagon migration on that server. We just haven't done server hardware replacements for OES-L yet.
Looking for some good (step by step) instructions. ;-)
Thanks
Patty

When I do the identity transfer, I'm assuming it renames the sles11sp3 server from tempfs to testfs as well (as that is where oes gets the file server name from)?
Um, sorta. Let's pretend your server name is: OLD and the new one is NEW (temporary NEW name and temporary NEW IP)
OLD: OES11
NEW: OES11 SP2 (assuming you want latest stuff).
Do all your data transfer/consolidations/etc
Then when you do the ID transfer, it will literally transfer the eDir databases (well copy is more correct) from OLD to NEW, you shut off OLD, I think it restarts NEW and renames/changes the servername and IP to what OLD had.
You can choose to install the NEW server with the .ISO separately (ie: Install SLES11 SP3, then after you're done, Add On the OES11 SP2 .ISO), or you may choose to use the integrated DVD and do it all at once, or use the 2 separate ISO and do them at once (but depending upon your installation method, you may not be able to do the 2 separate ISO).
I hope that helps.
I'm about halfway through editing my docs for OES11 SP1 (of course, SP2 is out now) for migrations from OES2 SP3, but the same setup steps basically apply. I think the only things that changed from NW To OES (ie: OES2 to OES11) are DHCP and iPrint migration procedures.

Migrate Server 2008 Certificate Authority To New Server Different Host Name?

Our internal CA is installed on one of our Exchange servers. Exchange is being migrated from 2010 to 2013, so all current Exchange servers will decommissioned and replaced with new new Hyper-V VMs with either Server 2008 R2 or 2012 R2 OS. The old VM
containing Exchange 2010 and the current CA will go away since we cannot afford to use the server resources and use up the required Windows license to keep that server running doing nothing but acting as a CA.
So, we will either need to move the CA to the new replacement Exchange 2013 server or some other existing server that's being used for something else (maybe one of the domain controllers).
What is the best way to handle this? I don't think the migration from Exchange 2010 to 2013 allows for reusing the same host name on the replacement server and if we move the CA to another existing server, it will also be on a server with a new host
name anyways.
Can we migrate the CA to a new server with a different host name?
What about reissuing all the active certificates from the current server to replace them with new certificates from the new server and then decommissioning the original CA? Can this be automated in some way?
Which way is best and how would it be done?

When following the instructions in the guide, I would also consider to switch to new "sanitized" URLs in certificates (CDP and AIA) in case you had used the default URLs now. That's what I did this when migrating W2K3 CAs (with default URLs) to W2K8 R2.
Per default, the LDAP and HTTP URLs point to the CA server itself (HTTP) or to an LDAP objects that has the same name as the current server.
Migrating to a new server, you need to make sure that CRLs will still be published to the old locations - thus the new CA server would write to the LDAP object that corresponded to the old server, and HTTP might be fixed by redirecting the DNS record. (Make
sure this is documented so that nobody thinks it might be a good idea to delete the old object as it "references a server that does not exist anymore".)
As you have to fiddle with URLs anyway, I would then add new URLs having neutral names - that is URLs not including the name of the CA server. The new CA instance would then 1) publish to the old locations but not add these to certificates anymore and 2)
publish to new sanitized locations and add them to CDP and AIA URLs.

I was trying to remote reboot and the session hung. No worries I decided I could just reboot the next morning. So I rebooted the next day but when I go into server manager I get
an errror can not refresh server manager Error:0x8007045b. Did some research found suggestions to fix it using a DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth.
But then I get an error 1115 A system Shutdown is in progress. I attempt to fix this issue using pskill winlogon but the issue pursistest. I have restarted the server several times now. Not sure how to fix this.

WebtopNaming - can not find server name for server ID

We have a LB, and web servers in front of OpenSSO app servers in our environment.
OpenSSO debug log CoreSystem fills up with lot of errors like these:
ERROR: WebtopNaming.getServerFromID() can not find server name for server ID : 07
com.iplanet.services.naming.ServerEntryNotFoundException: Cannot find server.
Sometimes, it even complains about a server id (07 in the following trace) which doesn't even exist in the Site Id Table.
There are no changes in the configuration. DNS is properly configured and all the servers and their connectivity are available. CoreSystem throws these errors even after a restart of opensso app servers.
Any ideas about the root cause?

Thank You for the response.
Here is my site configuration in OpenSSO:
There are 4 servers in the two opensso hosts (2 secure, 2 non secure)
Servers:
http://host4.company.com:8080/openSSO
http://host5.company.com:8080/openSSO
https://host4.company.com:8443/openSSO
https://host5.company.com:8443/openSSO
Only one site with secure URLs is configured
Sites:
site1
Primary URL: https://opensso-qa.company.com:443/openSSO
Assigned Servers:
https://host4.company.com:8443/openSSO
https://host5.company.com:8443/openSSO
From the CoreSystem log, Server ID definitions are:
https://host4.company.com:8443/openSSO=01
https://host5.company.com:8443/openSSO=02
https://opensso-qa.company.com:443/openSSO=03
http://host4.company.com:8080/openSSO=04
http://host5.company.com:8080/openSSO=05
Sometimes it throws an exception with existing server IDs. But sometimes it also complains about non existing server IDs.

It sounds like you've got a messed-up homepage. Click the Safari menu, click Preferences, and under "Home page", re-type the page you'd prefer to load when Safari starts (eg "nytimes.com" or whatever). Close preferences and try again.

Certificate error connecting to VPN, can not validate server

Used the configuration utility to configure a profile for VPN using certificate as authentication. Keep getting error, can not validate server. When I export the cert to my desktop, I see the CRL information in it. When I view the details of the cert after installing on the iPad, I don't see any CRL information. I'm guessing this may be the problem only not sure how to resolve it.

solved the problem by adding an additional attribute in the certificate request to the VPN server (cisco router) and first enable the server SubjectAltName CA
In CA server:
certutil -setreg policy\EditFlags +EDITF_ATTRIBUTESUBJECTALTNAME2
certutil -setreg policy\SubjectAltName enabled
certutil -setreg policy\SubjectAltName2 enabled
net stop certsvc
net start certsvc
In certificate request for VPN server:
In the Attributes box, type the desired SAN attributes. SAN attributes take the following form:
san:dns=dns.name[&dns=dns.name]/san:ipaddress=x.x.x.x
(external dns/ip)

Can't Find Server at... error -- only one site, works from non-Macs fine

Greetings:
I have been getting a "Can't Find Server at www.teocommunications.com" error in Firefox for over a month now. I thought initially that it was a problem with the DNS entries and maybe the record had not proliferated though the DNS servers of my ISP or something of that nature. This is not the case.
I have tried to bring my site up in Safari and it yields the same result.
Did an nslookup, and everything resolves fine. Every once in awhile the site comes up on my Mac, but most of the time it gives the error. At all times, if you try to go to it from a Windows machine or my smart phone it works fine 100% if the time. My wife's Windows Vista machine with Firefox brings it up fine 100% of the time (she is on the very same network). I can get it to work for some reason if I totally reboot the Mac or reset the router (but the router is obviously not the problem)... it has to be something in the Mac OS (10.6 and 10.5) that is going on. I have eliminated all other possible problems. Curiously enough, it seems to also be a Leopard (not just Snow Leopard) issue... I can reproduce the error at my school (which is on a totally different network than my home) on the Mac Pro Intels they have which are still on Leopard.
I am on the latest version of Snow Leopard on a brand new Mac Mini.
This problem is only with my site (that I know of) but again it happens ONLY on Macs with Leopard or Snow Leopard. I am very annoyed by this problem and because it is my professional work site, it is imperative that I find the solution and soon.
Hope someone can help.
APPLE, please look into possible configuration or DNS issues in Leopard/Snow Leopard, as before I posted here, I did try several 'fixes' for issues like this for Firefox before I noticed that Safari was getting the same issue and ANY OTHER PLATFORM sees my page just fine!

Hi Guys:
It sometimes works from my Mac as well. I can get it to load if I reboot the Mac and then in a few reloads it is back to the same error.
I did try openDNS as well and it did not still load. I can pretty much guarantee that it is not the DNS records, it is something going on between my Mac (or the Pros at school). Other sites from my same host work fine, my domain is setup exactly the same. They do use ISPConfig... and it could be something with that program, but I can not seem to confirm any problems there.
I reset my router and the site is currently loading again on my Mac, but I can tell you it will be throwing the error in the very near future because that is one fix that worked before and it worked exactly two loads when I switched to a different wireless access point that is not my router.
SO, the fact that it loads one to up to twenty times on someone's Mac is not enough to reproduce the problem. It takes several reloads and then the problem magically re-appears. This is why the fact that it is working right now on my machine is not good enough to call it fixed.
Try to reload my site several times and see if it gives you the error.
I have (as I stated) tried a lot of what is being suggested here and re-tried it, but nothing fixes it for very long
I appreciate the help and hopefully we can figure out why the situation exists.
Thanks for the help so far and please feel free to keep suggesting ideas, but for reference I have tried:
1. modifying settings in Firefox (although it does not matter what browser I use,the result is always the same)
2. resetting the router and DSL modem
3. modifying the /etc/hosts file on my Mac
4. dscacheutil -flushcache
5. using openDNS instead of my ISP (which is AT&T)
6. removing the DNS settings and using the router settings
7. turning off airport and back on after 30 seconds
8. renewing my DHCP clients
9. Signning onto a different wireless access point (which is actually a new ISP that I am going with and so they are a totally different network and subnet).. they are setup all over town with wireless access. -- pretty cool actually.
None of this seems to fix the problem loading only my site. Since I do have access to the hosting provider (I work with them)... I have done some things on the hosting side too. All to no avail.

TO be precise, it says "licensee server communication problem"
Thank you

The thread running through your explanation has to do with connectivity to your server. (iCloud out of the blue asking for password, unable to message your boyfriend, unable to access e-mail). You said that you boyfriend restart his device and then the two of you were able to then imessage. My best advice for you would be to go to settings to reset to reset network settings. Once this has been done you then will need to enter the name and password of your wifi. ONce this is done you then can attempt to check to see that all passwords are enter correctly.
Good luck.

Connected to the internet but browser says 'can't find server'

Hi,
I have an Apple Airport Extreme and it has been working well for a long time. My husband and I both run our internet connections from it wirelessly. Recently, when we go to connect to the internet, the browser says 'Can't find Server' but the Airport status bar says we are fully connected to the internet with a strong signal. I have no idea what happened or what is going on. The only thing that we have done differently is update the firmware on both our computers, and it seems as if this problem has started around that time. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
April

It might be a good time to perform a complete power recycle of your network components to make sure they are "talking" to each other properly and see if this resolves the problem.
Please try the following:
o Power-down the modem, AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), and computer(s); wait at least 15 minutes. Order is not critical.
o Power-on the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
o Plug-in the AEBS; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
o Power-on the computer(s).
Can they access the Internet now?
