File Server Migration -- when server names change

Interesting. I wondered if that would work, but with it being a DC and all I didn't want to try this out.
However, I do have the opportunity to demote the older server now. It doesn't have to remain a DC.
There wouldn't be any security implications? No 2012-era "this connection thinks it's something else!!!"

Hello,I have a process I use to migrate workstations that have fileserver shares mapped whether those maps are done via Group Policy or otherwise.In my current situation, I am migrating from Server 2003 to Server 2012. I like to use the use new Drive Mapping policy in 2012 as opposed to the scripts employed in 2003. So, I typically create that GP then force disconnects of all the mappings on all the workstations manually, then logout to apply the new policy.Because I have a little bit of breathing room between when I will do this cutover and today, I thought I might ask the question: Is there a more automatic way to force workstations to look at the new server for their fileshares?DFS is an option but since it's not set up today, I don't think it'll help this particular situation.
Also, the old server will be shutdown and retired. It...

Ramifications of Server name change

What are the ramifications of changing the name of a Windows 2000 server on the operation of an Oracle database. I did this and the TNS listener failed to start. After changing the name back it works fine. Are there any suggested procedures for what files, etc. need to reflect the server name change for Oracle to work or do I need to uninstall Oracle, change the server name and then reinstall Oracle.
Thanks!

Hi,
some things to check are:
tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files (hostname...)
also, make sure that you change your DNS so that people can find the server under the new name.
Good Luck

Server name changed

Exchange 2013, Outlook 2013
we're now moving from 2010 to 2013 Exchange. first thing i noticed, in the server settings of Outlook, the server name changed to some hex
[email protected] where before i used to have "mail.acme.com" there.
is this normal? instead of "mail.acme.com" we now get
[email protected]?

Hello Reno,
I have the same feeling but this change will decrease the hot issue “Your administrator has made a change to your mailbox” in Outlook.
Thanks,

File is huge when combined or changed to PDF, how do I get the file to a normal size to print?

Files are to large to print once they are PDF, how do I get them to a normal 8x11 size to print?

So why is it when I send these PDF files to clients they are to large for clients to print?
If I send a combined PDF file that is 3817KB, which a client has said is to large for them to print.
I send it to our office manager, she will print it, scan it back to me as a PDF, it will come
back as 375KB, the client can then print the file.
My question is, was/is there something I need to change in the process of scanning, combining files
to PDF that would create a smaller size file when done?
Sorry for all the confusion

Sorry, I'm lost.First I thought this was about page size. But you say it isn't. You say it's about file size. You've combined files of 494 + 441 = 935 KB, and you get 944 KB. This seems fine and you say it is fine. So what is the problem? Are you now on still a third meaning of huge, about size on screen?

OEM is not getting started after windows server name changed

Hello DBAs
Recently I installed Oracle database 10g on my a windows machine. It was working fine. Integrated OEM was also working fine.
But now I have changed the machine name. Now Oracle Database has come up after updating the listener.ora & tnsnames.ora files with new server name. But OEM page is not getting open now. I tried after updating the emd.properties and other related file on ORACLE_HOME\sysman folder with the new server name. But no luck.
In windows services one service named "OracleDBConsoleDbname" is not getting started, which could be the issue.
Can someone please guide me what can be done to fix this problem.
Thanks
-Naveen

This problem will happen when either changing the computer name or changing the domain name that the server belongs to.
First, verify that the new computer name contains DNS compatible characters - no spaces or underscore ( _ ) characters, for instance. Next, you will need to recreate the Enterprise Manager Database Control repository. Directions can be found on this page under the heading of "6.2.8.3 Using EMCA After Changing the Database Host Name or IP Address":
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e10818/srvpool.htm#CHDEGDIJ
The above directions should work as shown with Oracle 10g R2 - and possibly 10g R1 also.

Server name changed but old server name reflecting

Hi Experts,
Issue is In the SQL server name is changed.
When the user is logging on SAP old server name is appearing and in SAP 8.8 there is no option of change like in SAP 2005B and 2007B so no database is appearing on screen.
What should be done in such condition.
Thanks & Regards -
Mona.

In 8.8 you need to add and maintain servers through the license manager of the server tools. Open license manager settings and click the button on the bottom left (Configure Security). Enter your B1 site users details and then in the next screen you can define an additional server as well as remove the old one; I had the exact same issue a few days ago!

Server name change

I changed the server name using the sharing in preferences. This was working fine but when I start Terminal it still shows the old name. The same using ARD.
Any idea where to change that?

Ok, found it
Used the command line tool changeip as root:
sudo changeip +oldip newip oldname newname+
...and it worked

Server name changes - how to?

Hi All
We have a PoC consisting of 5 or so servers, no HA, roles combined on the first (master) RDS server, the remaining are for individual Collections.
We are contemplating transitioning to Production, either build from scratch or utilise PoC and expand (by adding HA). However our server naming convention includes letters relating to Dev, Test, or Production status.
Experimentation reveals that a change of server name on the 'master' RDS server renders RDS inactive, it vanishes from Server Manager RDS management tool.
Can anyone recommend an approved/working server rename process?
Is there a best practice guide for Production architecture?
Many thanks
Lea

Hi,
You need first to inventory whatever applications that are installed on the RDSH servers and make sure users will still be able to access after removal of the RDS configuration or migrate these to a different server.
- Then upon what role services you have configured within ther RDS you can:
- Remove Remote desktop services Gateway; RD Connection Broker
- Remove/uninstall RDL CALs from the RDL licensing server.
- Remove the RDSH servers from the RDL licesing configuration.
- Deactivate RDL Licensing server and uinstall the role service
- Uninstall the RDSH role service
You can check this article for step by step points. Also
can go through this link. If you remove the full role then we need to again get all the roles installed again and revert back to default page.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Outlook 2011 Exchange server name changes

I set the server name in Outlook 2011 to the "public" FQDN. Network DNS is set to resolve this name to the private IP address of the Exchange server. This configuration works properly for all my users, whether they are connected locally or remotely.
For one computer, though, when connected locally, Outlook changes to the "private" FQDN of the Exchange server. This undesired change then requires editing the server name when the computer is remotely connected.
How do I get Outlook to leave the server name as the "public" FQDN?

SQL server name change - old content DB mounted but url is empty

Reconfigured Sharepoint with new sql server name by creating new farm administration, then mounted the old wss content DB.
When i open the old site name is says page cannot be found. Then i went and recreated the site using the same site name and it works but it does not show the old content. Please help.
The aim is to shift Sharepoint from pointing to the old SQL Server to the new server.
nchiliza

Hi Nchiliza,
How did you mount the old content database to the new SharePoint?
From your description, it seems that the database was not mounted successfully.
If the database has been mounted successfully, then all the site collections created in the original web application will be listed under the new web application. You can check this in Central Administration.
I recommend to detach the content database and then reattach it again.
Dismount-SPContentDatabase "<ContentDBName>"
Mount-SPContentDatabase "<ContentDBName>" -DatabaseServer "<DBServerName" -WebApplication
http://SiteName
More reference:

Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Connection Broker, Server Name Change.

We have a server that was the connection broker, We changed its name and now the connection broker wont recognize the new name. It continutes to want the old server. Unfortunately we cant change it back. Is there a fix for this?
We tried the powershell command but it doesnt see the old server name and errors out.

Hi,
Changing the name of a RD Connection Broker server is not supported. If you are able to remove RD Connection Broker Role Service and install a new RDS deployment you may be able to get it working again (with perhaps a few registry fixes),
but you will lose all of the configuration data associated with your deployment. If you have a very basic RDS deployment it may not be a big deal to recreate the collections, configure settings, publish
RemoteApps, etc., as they were before.
Another potential option if you were able to temporarily change the name back would be to switch to HA mode with the database stored on the local server (in SQL Express), add another RDCB server, remove RDCB from the original (leaving the SQL Express database
still functional), rename the server, add it back as a RDCB server, then remove RDCB from the second server. I have not tried this procedure but at first glance I believe it should work, although it may be a bit complicated if you are not well versed
with 2012 R2 RDS.
If this is a small environment you may want to consider backing up any data on the servers and then reinstalling all of the RDS servers from scratch.
It is possible to manually fix the issue you are seeing by editing the RDMS database, editing the registries of all the RDS servers, and other related tasks, however, I would not suggest it due to the complexity.

Server names change in ASA

Hi everyone,
Server team is changing names of all the servers as part of standard naming process.
IP will reamin the same
We have ACL in the firewall and some use server IP and some use server name.
Fw config has
name 192.16.x.x server1
network-object host server2
Need to confirm if i change the name of server under
name 192.168.x.x newservername
will all the rules in fw should be ok?
Regards
Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,
The configuration "name" gives you the chance to refer to an IP address / Network address in the configuration with a name rather than the IP address.
If you change the "name" configurations then this wont remove anything essential in the current configurations. For example if you have an "object-group network" which contains "network-object host " currently and you remove the "name" command corresponding to the then the "network-object host" line will stay there with the IP address instead of the name.
Heres an example from my home firewall
I create an "object-group"
object-group network NAMES
network-object host 1.1.1.1
network-object host 2.2.2.2
network-object host 3.3.3.3
I configure "name" configurations
name 1.1.1.1 NUMBER-ONE
name 2.2.2.2 NUMBER-TWO
name 3.3.3.3 NUMBER-THREE
I view the "object-group" configuration
ASA(config)# sh run object-group id NAMES
object-group network NAMES
network-object host NUMBER-ONE
network-object host NUMBER-TWO
network-object host NUMBER-THREE
I remove ALL the name configurations (you SHOULD NOT probably use this command as it removes all the "name" configurations)
clear configure name
I view the "object-group" configuration again
ASA(config)# sh run object-group id NAMES
object-group network NAMES
network-object host 1.1.1.1
network-object host 2.2.2.2
network-object host 3.3.3.3
So as you can see, only the presentation of the "object-group" configurations changes. Not the actual content which are the actual IP addresses specified in the "network-object" command.
It seems to me that you will have to remove the existing "name" configuration for an IP address before you can apply a new name. It seems that there is no command to rename it though I guess there really is no need for it as the "name" configurations isnt a critical part of the configurations and doesnt really affect anything (to my understanding).
While I can see "name" configurations uses I dont personally use it at all. Its one of the first things I disable on the firewall

Verizon email; Thunderbird client; Not working since 3/25/2013;server name change

Yesterday, 3/25/2013, I noticed that email wasn't working from my thunderbird client. After a day of assuming that the problem existed elsewhere, I found on this site where it says to use POP.VERIZON.NET, port 995, and SMTP.VERIZON.NET, port 465. After grumbling why didn't I hear about this name change?, I changed them. At that time I noticed that the PORTS were wrong, too. They'd been right, and now, not. Most confusing. I changed them. Each account has CONNECTION SECURITY SSL/TLS and NORMAL PASSWORD.
But: when I try to connect, I get: An error occurred during a connection to pop.verizon.net:995. You have received an invalid certificate.....Your certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate issued by the certificate authority. Please get a new certificate...."
I am at a loss. What's wrong, other than that email seems to be choking on security?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Found in another post where a person said the INCOMING.VERIZON.NET and OUTGOING.VERIZON.NET did still work, so I tried it, but still got that Certificate error. Found someone else who said they had to say 'no connection security' before it would work, and so I tried that -- and it did.
Not thrilled about this, but the client is working again.

Power View Enhancement Request - Allow for columns to drop off PowerView when column name changes in data model instead of rendering the PowerView inaccessible

Currently in PowerView, if a column name changes in the tabular model, and that column is being used in a PowerView chart, the PowerView will become inaccessible.
It would be nice if it functioned similar to Pivot Table. If a column name changes for a column that is being used in a Pivot Table, the field is just removed from the chart, and the user can select the newly named column.

Hi plantm,
After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it. After we change a column name which is used in a Power View chart, Power view will render the message that” The external data connection has been disabled for this Power View report. Please enable
the connection.” when we reopen the file.
To fix this issue, we can click Refresh button under POWER VIEW menu, then it would prompt us that” Power View was not able to complete the action due to a query failure. This can happen if the structure of your data has changed, in which case closing and
re-opening the application will resolve the problem.”
According to the error message, we should try to reopen the file to fix this issue. Power view will render the message that” Please refresh to see the data for this Power View Sheet. You can set properties in the Connection Properties dialog so that the
data refreshes automatically when you open the file.” when we reopen the file. Then we can refresh it again, the report will be displayed without that field.
Based on my research, inherently what the message means is that Power View cannot be used as a tool for snapshot reporting. With an Excel PivotTable, we can see the data last saved in the PivotTable. Power View, however, does not behave the same way – it
won’t render the last saved state. If we want to avoid this message when we reopen the file, there are two methods:
When we create the Power View report, we can select the checkbox that “Refresh data when opening the file”.
After it’s been set up, go to Connections on the Data menu, then choose Properties.
For more details about the settings, we can refer to the following blog:
http://www.sqlchick.com/entries/2013/3/30/creating-a-power-view-report-in-excel-2013-which-uses-an-ext.html
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
