Copy Templates from VMM 2008 to VMM 2012 R2

Hi,
I would like to know if it was possible to copy Templates from VMM 2008 to VMM 2012 R2 ?
Thank you

I have never tried this, but you can for sure re-use the physical objects like VHD's, ISO's etc.
The template configuration and profiles are metadata stored in the database.
Based on how things changed with VMM 2012 compared with 2008, you will have several new options and capabilites in the profiles for 2012.
I would recommend you to re-create those (hardware profiles, guest os profiles, application profiles etc) in 2012, as there is no logical mapping from the previous versions.

Error while trying to copy template from another application

Hi,
I am getting this error while trying to copy template from another application:
report error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
This report is located here:

best regards,

It is usually a permissions issue.. you have read but not write permission. Why it would suddenly change is one of those Apple Mysteries... but it happens.
Open the directory (folder) where your media files are.. and check the permissions.. see if you can fix them.
The problem is the folder on the TC might have lost your ownership and you might not be able to change it.. Apple do not provide anyway to regain permissions because you would need low level access to the TC firmware.
I would just as a matter of course reset the TC to factory and redo its setup.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Do the setup via airport utility using different names.. short, no spaces and pure alphanumerics. Make sure passwords are also pure alphanumeric mixed case and numbers.. 8-20 characters is usually plenty.
Mount the disk in finder and see if you have the same issue.. I am not expecting a change.. but it is worth a try.
No luck you can copy your files off the TC.. wipe it .. and then copy them back.. no bad thing unless you already have a backup of your files at the moment. In which case you can just wipe the TC and copy the files now.

"Software Usage Metrics initialize failed" error when open Report Manager, after moving ReportServer from SSRS 2008 to SSRS 2012 (Native Mode)

SCCM 2007 database move from SQL 2008 to SQL 2012 SP1

Hi,
today we tried with moving the sccm DB from our SQL 2008 to SQL 2012. The whole DB process was a success but what bugs me is the reporting services which we also have.
Does the reporting service make automatic transition to the box or do i have to configure separately if yes how?
Also how do we retire the DB on the old server?
Thank you,

This would be manual process. The simplest way to fix them is to reinstall the reporting point.

PrintBrm.exe - Migrating printers from Server 2008 R2 to 2012 R2

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to migrate our printers from a Windows Server 2008 R2 to a brand new Windows Server 2012 R2. While doing this, we also want to switch the drivers to a newer version. As I successfully tried this a year before with the PrintBrm.exe (but from Server
2008 R2 to another Server 2008 R2), I choosed this tool again.
Unfortunately it fails at some point this time. The printer export and import succeeds every time, but if I'm trying to print a testpage on the new server, it won't stop printing hyroglyphs... Only if I install a printer manually (same driver), it works
fine.
Do you have any solutions or ideas for that? For better troubleshooting, I attached an image of one failed testpage and the code I've written, too. Looking forward for some ideas.
Best regards, Andreas

Hi Andreas Remdt,
Based on your description, did you mean that complete the process of migration successfully? Would you please
let me know which version of the Printbrm.exe command-line tool that you used to migrate?
In addition, please open Event Viewer and check if you can find any related event (Source: PrintBRM). If any
update, please feel free to let me know.

Migrating existion RD licence from Server 2008 R2 to 2012 Std Edition

Dear team,
We have two servers with Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition. One server for Domain Controller and another is Terminal Server with 57 License (License Server). Now we have purchased New Rack server ( HP ProLiant
G8) and Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition. We want to replace our old hardware and OS, but want to keep (1) Domain Structure, Group Policies, Users (2) Same license for Terminal Services. I have two questions.
(a) Is migration of existing RDP Licence possible to new hardware and OS? If possible what Should be done?
(b) Is migration of existing AD possible to new hardware and OS? If possible what Should be done?
First question is more important.
Hope a favorable, detailed and early reply.

Hi,
(a) Is migration of existing RDP Licence possible to new hardware and OS? If possible what Should be done?
You could refer to the following ms article about moving Remote Desktop Licensing to a New Server:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730776.aspx
Meanwhile, for the license related issue, you could contact Licensing Service Center support
https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/servicecenter/Help/Contact.aspx
(b) Is migration of existing AD possible to new hardware and OS? If possible what Should be done?
First question is more important.
For this issue, you could follow MVP's suggestion, adding server 2012 to your domain, making it as domain controller then do the migration.

Migrating PDC role from SBS 2008 to Server 2012

Greetings everyone
Are there any special considerations or steps that need be done when elevating my BDC running Server 2012 from a PDC running SBS 2008? We are wanting to remove the SBS machine entirely as we no longer need it and could possibly be of use to one of our clients
down the road.
Thank You
Additional Info: We have already migrated Exchange to the cloud and is no longer hosted on our SBS server. The only function the SBS server has at the moment is being the PDC.

If you haven't seen it already you'll probably want to check out
http://blogs.technet.com/b/infratalks/archive/2012/09/07/transition-from-small-business-server-to-standard-windows-server.aspx which describes the entire process, though obviously in your case you don't need to worry about the Exchnage side of things.
The main thing in your case will moving the FSMO roles over to the new server so the old SBS box is no longer required. There's a link to the process in that blog post, though as I understand it when 2012 is the destination the recommended route is to grab
the roles from 2012 rather than give them up from 2008. There's a good step by step guide to the process here
http://www.waronerrors.com/kb/how-to-transfer-fsmo-roles-from-windows-server-2003--2008-to-windows-server-2012.aspx though obviously the main thing to note is that as soon as you move the FSMO roles you have 21 days in which to complete the migration. After
that time the SBS box will automatically restart periodically (I think after an hour from memory).

Problems Copying Text from Word 2008 to InDesign CS3

When I copy/paste text from Word into InDesign, the text pastes as an image. If I draw a text box in InDeign and paste the text in there, the same thing happens and the box is locked in position. I'm pretty sure there is a setting in Word I have to change, but I've tried everything! Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Why don't you try File > Place and place the .doc file? (Probably not too many Word experts in an Adobe forum.)

How do you copy the templates from another webstie and use them as your own?

Hi Everyone, I was told that with Dreamweaver it is possible to copy another websites templates? What are the steps in copying another websites template with Dreamweaver? I would like to know I am a newbie when it comes to this program so please make your statement understandable for me, thanks. Also, I am having problems creating a drop down menu for each of my web pages. When I go to highlight a specific box on my homepage I want the dropdown menu to appear vertically and not horizontally. I may have missed something when watching the video tutorials or I didn't quite understand what they meant. Thank you for any information on the series of questions that I have asked in this new thread.

This is difficult to understand. How are you copying templates from another site?
If you have all the files that make up the template, then it's only a matter of saving all the files to a folder on your hard drive and setting up a site definition pointing to this folder. You then work on the files as usual.

Thank you for any information on the series of questions that I have asked in this new thread.
Without seeing the page it's difficult to judge what your problem is. If possible, please upload the files to a remote server and provide a link to the page. It's the only way people can help - if they see your page in action.

Move Distribution point from Server 2008 R2 to Server 2012 R2

We have to upgrade one of sccm server 2008 R2 to server 2012 R2 on new box
Server 2008 R2 is a Distribution Point
I need to figure out right steps to move content and packages to new server and rather distributing all packages
Need to figure out any specific steps for upgrading from Server 2008 to Server 2012 before turning off DP.
We planing to use same Ip and server name and turn off and replace old server.
I would appreciate any help..
Thanks
RJ
RJ09

As a side note here, I would *not* use the same name. This will be a *new* DP and thus should be treated as such. You'll simply be migrating the content and re-adding it (the DP) to the same boundary groups as the old DP. You'll then retire the old
DP. The IP Address doesn't matter here.

Upgrading domain from 2008 R2 to 2012 R2

I am looking to upgrade my domain from server 2008 R2 to 2012 R2. We have 10 remote sites, each with a single physical ESXi host hosting 2 vms, 1 2008 R2 vm with the ADDS/DHCP/DNS/File Services (user home drives) roles and the second 2008 R2 vm
runs WDS/MDT and a couple applications. At our main site we have a physical 2008 R2 DC which holds all the FSMO roles, a vm with the ADDS/DHCP/DNS/File Services roles, and another vm running WDS/MDT.
I've gathered from my research that Microsoft recommends clean installs when upgrading DCs but since our DCs are also file servers that's not an ideal course of action for us, it'd be a lot of additional steps. My plan at this point
is to bring up a new physical 2012 R2 server, make it a DC, transfer the FSMO roles to it, then demote and retire the current physical 2008 R2 server. For the virtual DCs, since they are also file servers, I'm leaning towards in-place upgrades
on them, unless anyone would advise against.
The other thing I'm considering is creating a 2012 R2 DC at each remote site, then demoting the current 2008 R2 DC, leaving some combination of DHCP/File Services on it, then run an in-place on it to 2012 R2. This would requre another Windows license
though since our physical hosts are not on Hyper-v.
For the virtual servers running WDS/MDT, I personally prefer an in-place so I don't have to move the MDT deployment share, but I'm open to suggestions.
What are your recommendations? Which server should I upgrade first? How much time should I allow between each DC upgrade? I appreciate the help.

As per recommendations, A DC should be solely utilized for AD/DNS/GC & if environment is small for DHCP. The problem in using DC for other purpose arise during upgrade scenario, when you have to demote the DC or performance. Demoting the DC is very simple,
but if its running with additional role, it becomes challenging, if demotion has to be performed forcefully.
Secondly, from the security point, its not a great idea to run DC with other roles esp file servers, if there is any infected file then the whole domain can be compromised or infected.
What is more relevant in upgrade is testing the applications before you perform or upgrade the schema. If there is no issues then you can perform the upgrade based on your convenience. But necessary documentation & testing prior & post has to be
followed.
My personal recommendation would be upgrade the schema(surely test the schema upgrade in lab before you do in production), create a new server either VM or physical, configure it as an DC & transfer all FSMO role & slowly try to segregation between
DC & non DC servers.
Yes, i know it will cost additional licensing burden, but from the environment point of view it will provide you an ease of administration & troubleshooting.

SBS 2008 to Server 2012 R2 Active Directory Migration

Is there a tool that i can use to migrate Active Directory from SBS 2008 to Server 2012 R2?

There is no special tool for your situation. While there is a tool called ADMT that you may see mentioned if you search enough, it isn't really well suited for what you want.
With that said, there is also no *need* for a tool as I've already said. Nor do you need to recreate the users and have mismatched SIDs. You will add the 2012 machine to your existing domain and make it a domain controller. Yes, that means you will have
two DCs (for a time.) This is how larger organizations handle multiple DCs all the time, and they obviously don't go and create the same user on each DC. That is where the domain replication comes in. Your new server will be a DC and will replicate
all of the users *and* SIDs from the existing SBS server.
Then, when you are ready, you decommission the SBS 2008 server gracefully and the new 2012 server becomes your sole DC, but has AD completely intact. It is a tried and true practice, both within and outside of the SBS world, and has been done many many times.

Can I add windows 2012 R2 host to VMM 2008 R2?

We are running VMM 2008 R2 on Windows 2008 R2. When attempting to add a Windows 2012 R2 as host to VMM, I receive this message:
Error (2915)
The WS-Management service cannot process the request. Object not found on the mdnjdqgxd2.xxxx server.

Can I add windows 2012 R2 host to VMM 2008 R2? If yes, what could be the problem?
Bob Lin, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Install and Configure Windows, VMware, Virtualization and Cisco on http://www.HowToNetworking.com

The VMM Server should never have the Hyper-V Role enabled.
The VMM 2008 can only be installed on 2012:

You need to look at the support matrix of the SCVMM version and the Hyper-V Server Version.

In this case it is beyond 'support' it is what actually will work.
