Can we install ADMT tool in source domain?

I am novice in AD migrations, The ADMT guide downloaded from MS instructs to install ADMT tool in Target domain, as do a lot of other blogs & discussion threads. Is there any reason that we should install it on Target domain only? Can we not install
this tool in source domain and still migrate everything or are there any limitations to this or is it not supported by MS? I am just trying to understand if this is a must to be installed on target domain and if so why. Thank you in advance.

  • Should/can the install script included in source=() list?

    Hi,
    It is a good thing that the sources needed to build a package are md5summed for integrity, but in most packages the install script is not. I was thinking why this might be - the PKGBUILD can be expected to modify the script?
      So to try, in one of my packages I added the install script to the source=() list. The package builds of course just fine. Then, however, if I want to upload it to AUR, I try to make a source-only package with "makepkg --source", which brakes with something like this:
    ln: creating symbolic link `/tmp/foo/srclinks.YjYgQ8XlE/foo/foo.install': File exists
    This is because makepkg tries to create a 2 symbolic links with the same filename: one link for the "foo.install" in the source=() list and also for the install=() list....
    Is this deliberate, or a bug? Looks more like a bug to me, but thought I better ask first....
    Cheers,
    Greg

    It might be completely internal to the pacman but defines actions taken on the system - thus whatever is in .install has effects just like the rest of the files, maybe even more: the other files are just copied, the .install is executed.
    And while it might never get installed on the system, it's internals are - how else one could define a "post_uninstall()" if it wasn't stored? Being pacman developer you know much more about this than I do, can you give a bit of info on that?
    Right it is installed to pacman database, but again, it is pacman doing all that.
    Fair enough.... The detail, however, that is not installed does not preempt checksumming. Eg. patches are also: 1) used for the package, 2) not installed, and 3) still in the checksum....
    shining wrote:
    All I'm trying to get to, is there any serious reason (technical, not philosophical) NOT to checksum the install script as well?  Because I'm yet to see any valid arguments against it, and there are loads for it....
    Taking your example from kernel26 :
    -i $startdir/kernel26.install
    -i ${pkgdir}/etc/mkinitcpio.d/${pkgname}.preset
    Note that the scriptlet edited is the original one in $startdir , because that's the only place where it needs to be, from the packager pov.
    While for the preset file, it needs to be copied to $pkgdir and it is edited there.
    If you had a checksum for the scriptlet, it would also mean that makepkg -g output could be altered after running makepkg. Very weird..
    Ok, this is indeed the case. But if you look at real packages, it seems that after the package is compiled, many times they update the PKGBUILD with the new md5sum values. Again: core/kernel26.
    That .install update section in the PKGBUILD is then relegated to a "helper function" role that keep the information in sync when there's a new release, but as the PKGBUILD is distributed, it won't change anything in the .install anymore...
    Thus, again, there's no real difference between the .install files and other files used as source.
    shining wrote:Btw the whole scriptlet file could be created entirely from the pkgbuild build function.
    Sure, and that's a great thing! I actually wondered why so many packages have separate .install when it can be done in the PKGBUILD. Thought it might be some convention, but probably just habit.... I prefer doing it in the PKGBUILD as well, whenever possible...
    shining wrote:There might be ways to fix that, though I don't even see any good ones. But why bother ? You said there are loads of valid arguments to have it , but you didn't even give one !
    On the other hand, I'm yet to find any of your rebuttals that are not rebutted here again...
    shining wrote:What are you worried about here ? Security ? If you think adding a checksum for the install file is going to give you any security, you are badly fooling yourself. If someone is distributing a malicious pkgbuild, it can contain the md5sum of the malicious scriptlet which is shipped with it.
    I think you misunderstood me. I'm not complaining, but inquiring. The PKGBUILD system is awesome, and it makes me search out programs that I use but not in the repo/AUR so that I can make a new package. But also, I'm interested in the "how" and "why", and hope to improve things if possible. Now, to me it seems theres an unreasonable distinction to checksum some files needed for a package but not all of them. And thus I set out to ask the elders here on the Forum to see whether someone can shed light on the reasons of the current state. Not trying to piss of anybody, but being interested.
    Of course the md5sum is not security, it's a help, nothing more.
    As an example: some time ago, there was a package in the community (thus managed by TUs) that had an update. I wanted to check out something in the package, got the PKGBUILD and tried to make it myself - md5sum says that the sources are incorrect.... Obviously something must have gone very bad, because the md5sum field was updated according to the SVN, the package is available on pacman thus it had to build, and the sources used in the package have not been changed for a while so that cannot be a problem....
    I've got a package from a trusted source and it is broken, the md5sum told me. So the breakage can be the very same way in the install script, why is the md5sum not allowed to tell me that?
    shining wrote:The only security for pkgbuilds is yourself. When you get one from a strange place, you MUST read the pkgbuild/install files.
    Of course, never argued against it. But there are different layers of verbosity....
    Anyway....

  • I can't install the tools--I get the ATI Cataylst installer instead!

    I'd say this is one of the strangest errors I have encountered in 35 years of dealing with computers:
    SQLEXPR_x64_ENU will install fine but it doesn't contain the tools.
    Neither SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU nor SQLEXPRWT_x64_ENU will install.  When either .exe is run it goes through a long unpacking sequence and then runs what appears to be the ATI Catalyst installer although it gets stuck and won't go far enough for me to be
    certain that that's what it's up to.  As soon as the installer is run the whole directory structure that it unpacked to is deleted.
    I do have an ATI card using the Catalyst driver in my machine and I can confirm that the file that's actually running at that point is in that directory structure, not anything from the installer package.  I have no other 64 bit hardware to test on.
    Edit:  Nevermind.  I got access to someone else's 64-bit machine and since I didn't have the installer at hand I downloaded a new copy--it's now 30% smaller and behaves sanely (although I didn't actually carry out the install.)

    Hello,
    What do you mean by 'but it doesn't contain the tools'  are you referring to SQL server management studio.When you
    are downloading ENU\x64\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe you have to also download' ENU\x64\SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe
    ' .This will contain tools.
    I dont know about catalyst driver but it seems good from your side that you tried running install on different machine.

  • Can't install DPS tools for CC 14?

    I am currently trying to update the application so that I can integrate it with Indesign CC 2014  but I keep getting the same error when trying to install the Adobe update for CC 14.
    It says that the updates could not be applied because the updates have been suppressed by the administrator? Does anyone know what this means and how can I fix it?

    See Disable auto-updates | Application Manager | IT administrators. Check and see if you have an "AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat" file in the location listed on the page, and if you do rename it to something else (e.g. "AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat.old")

  • Installing BPC on a different domain apart from BI

    Dear experts,
    Currently I have BPC working with BI on the same domain. And I know there're some services triggered by domain accounts which across BPC and BI.
    However, our client need BI & ERPs to be isolated in a domain and web servers (including BPC) serves in another domain which contains all users.
    Question: Can I install BPC on a different domain apart from BI? If so, what port do I need for BPC to connect to BI? How do I deal with the services authentication between BPC and BI?
    Many thanks for any comments,

  • ADMT 3.2 Migrate users to the same organizational unit in the Target Domain as they are in the Source Domain?

    Hi,
    I am in the middle of a inter forest migration and have created the target domain (TargetDomain.local) 2008R2 and Source Domain (SourceDomain.Local) 2008R2 with a two way trust. I have installed ADMT 3.2 on a server in the Target Domain. I am able to migrate
    users form the source domain to the target domain. I have copied the OU Structure from the source domain to the target domain. The issue I am currently facing is that I would like to find a way to migrate all users from the source domain to the target domain
    and the users migrate to the same OU as the source. I have looked at the include file option but cannot find a way of specifying the source and target OU's.
    Please could someone help me with this, Thanks.

    Hi,
    You need to create the same OU on target domain, then do the user account migration.
    On Organizational Unit Selection page, select Browse and select target OU, then click OK.

  • After install Crystal Report Server 2011, can not access control tools

    Afte install Crystal Report Server 2011, can not access control tools from web or from application.
    My server OS is Windows 2008 R2 SP1. I follow the default setting. How to fix it?
    Error message is above.

    Is Tomcat started?  On your Start menu you should have an option to get to "Tomcat  Configuration" or, under the CRS menu you can run the "Central Configuration Manager" to start Tomcat.
    What URL are you using to connect to the web app?  By default Tomcat runs on port 8080 so your URL should look something like this:  "http://<servername>:8080/BOE/CMC" or "http://<servername>:8080/BOE/BI".
    If Tomcat is running and you're trying to access it from another computer, check to see if the Windows Firewall is turned on for the server - if it is, turn it off for "Domain" access.
    If Tomcat won't start, go to the folder where Tomcat is installed and then look in the "logs" folder.  There should be a file called "stderr.log" which you can open in Notepad to see what types of errors might be occurring (you can ignore any errors having to do with "persisted sessions".)  If there are other errors, post in the BI Platform space to get assistance.

  • Is it possible to install multiple Password Export Servers (PES) in the source domain?

    I'm unable to find definitive information that says it is not allowable or feasible to install multiple PES servers in the domain.  The only hit I have is "Can
    PES (for password migration) be installed on more than one DC on source domain?.
    I'm unsure if the generated key is good for only establishing a single PES connection, or if it can be used multiple times, or if by generating a new one for the same domain, does it deactivate the other one.
    The reason I ask is that we have a distributed forest and will be migrating users from many different locations.  We've found that the replication delays between the DCs in the source location can take quite a while to reach the site where the PES server
    is running.  We can create replication connectors, but I'd also like to see if simply adding another PES service to the local DC is possible.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your posting.
    According to this article, the PES service should run on a domain controller in the  source domain:

  • Can't Install Desktop Experience on Server 2012 - Sources problem

    Hi Guys,
    I have been struggling to install the Desktop Experience (Which includes Ink and Handwriting Services) feature on a new Server 2012 VM, and I haven't been able to.  It always says it can't find the sources ("Do you need to specify an alternate source
    path?"), even though the DVD image is readily accessible to the server I try yo deploy this to (the same server where I tried to add the feature from).
    I think I have tried pretty much everything (From UI through Server Manager, to PowerShell and DISM), and I get "The source files could not be found".    
    My preferred method would be the UI one, but I still can't figure out what I am missing.  The Server 2012 image is available on the server directly (through Hyper-V CD mount). 
    I know that by default, Windows will try to use Windows Update to get the feature files from (if no offline location is specified), but for some reason that one fails too.
    I tried using as a source location (My understanding is that the files are inside the WIM): 
    -    WIM:E:\Sources\Install.wim:2
    -    E:\Sources\SxS\
    -  Mounting the WIM in a folder on the C drive through DISM, and reference that path in the "Add Roles and Features screen"
    And of the countless times I've tried, I always get "The source files could not be found. Try installing roles, role services, or features again in a New Add Roles and Features Wizard session, and on the confirmation page of the wizard, click "Specify an
    alternate source path" to specify a valid location of the source files that are required for the installation. The location must be accessible by the computer account of the destination server."
    I have rebooted the server, and I have made sure the DVD image is available (by opening the E drive on windows explorer and browsing through the installer folders.
    As a side note, on this server I also installed .NET 3.5 from this same offline source, by referencing "E:\Sources\SxS\" as the install source, and everything went just fine.  Still not sure what I am missing.
    Thoughts?

    Thansk Yan!  
    That clarifies why try to install it was failing.  However, I have some other questions:
     - How did this happen (This OS was installed from the regular Server 2012 Standard - Not Server Core that was converted to the GUI version)?. 
     - How can I fix it (Make Desktop Experience be listed as "Available") ?
    UPDATE: 
    I tried installing the Desktop-Experience feature through PowerShell but this is what I got:
    PS C:\Users\administrator.MF> Install-WindowsFeature Desktop-Experience -Source WIM:D:\Sources\Install.wim:2
    Install-WindowsFeature : The request to add or remove features on the specified server failed.

    And ran the install feature again, now pointing to the actual WimSxS folder (as described here:

  • How can I install the CCMS tool??

    Hi,
          I want to configure the CCMS tool but I don't know how.... I want to install it in the development environment to make some test and then install it on QA and production environment because right know I don't have a Solution Manager or something like that to install the CCMS and use it like the central monitoring system.
    Someone of u know how can I install it one by one in that systems?
    Thanks a lot people for your help!

    Hi,
    You need to implement CCMS in all the system(DEV, QA  & Prod) separately. We have implemented CCMS separately in our landscape(without Solman)
    If you dont have solman  & want to implement CCMS then please follow method:-
    Backgroud:- In the monitoring architecture, we can react automatically to an alert using auto-reaction methods. These methods are automatically started in the case of an alert and by default are executed in the system in which the alert occurs.
    Defining an Automatic Alert Notification:-
    With the monitoring architecture, auto-reaction methods can be defined that are automatically executed when alerts occur. The method CCMS_OnAlert_Email can be assigned to MTE classes in SAP system. If an alert occurs in this MTE class, the information is sent by e-mail.
    CCMS_OnAlert_Email can automatically send an e-mail to the following addressees:
    u2022        A Business Workplace user in client 000
    u2022        An external e-mail address
    The auto-reaction method for sending the e-mail is started at most five minutes after the alert occurs. However, there can be a delay before the e-mail is sent to external e-mail addresses (that is, addresses of users that are not defined in client 000 of the same SAP system), depending on the settings in SAPConnect.
    The message text contains the same information that is displayed in the Alert Monitor:
    u2022        Description of the problem that exists
    u2022        Time and location at which the problem occurred
    u2022        Severity and colour of the alert
    Prerequisites:-
    SAPConnect must be configured in client 000, if the message is to be sent to an external address.
    Procedure:-
    Choose CCMS ® Configuration ® Alert Monitor, or call transaction RZ21.
    In the Methods group box, select Method Definitions and choose Display Overview.
    Select the method CCMS_OnAlert_Email_V2 and choose Edit Data.
    Choose change mode with the Display « Change pushbutton, and choose the
    Parameters tab page.
    Fill out the fields as follows:
    Parameter     Meaning
    SENDER     SAP username of the person in whose name the e-mail is sent  Alert Monitor.
    u2022     Start the desired monitor from the list by double-clicking it.
    u2022     Select the desired node and choose Properties.
    u2022     The Monitoring: Properties and Methods screen appears. The rest of the procedure depends on whether the analysis method need to be assigned only to this node or to the entire MTE Class.
    u2022     Choose the Methods tab page and then choose the Method Assignment button.
    u2022     The Monitoring: Methods screen appears. Choose change mode with the Display « Change button, and choose the Auto-Reaction tab page.
    u2022     In the Method Assignment group box, choose the Method Name radio button and enter CCMS_OnAlert_Email_V2 in the associated field.
    u2022     Save the entries.
    Related Notes
    u2022     SAP Note 0176492
    Troubleshooting of the configuration of CCMS On Alert Email:-
    1.     The SAP Connect configuration in 000 client
    2.     Check the recipient & sender e-mail id is configured(attached to a user id) in client 000
    3.     Simulate the CCMS alert and check the Sap Connect trace
    Completing the Alerts:-
    The alerts are completed after checking the alert. Basis Team needds to complete the alerts
    Deleting old  CCMS alerts:-
    You can use program RSALDBRG to delete old alerts.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
