Getting ready to migrate, question

I work in a small parochial school and am not adept at server configurations. We have an Intel Xserve running Snow Leopard Server with wikis only for about 3 years and recently purchased a Mac Mini with Snow Leopard server.
I have been tasked (during the school year in a live environment of course) to migrate all of the content from the 10.5 server to the 10.6. Once I fire up the new server and assign it the same public IP address as my 10.5 server, I'll disconnect the 10.5 from the network and migrate.
My question is: if this fails in any way, can I simply plug the 10.5 server back in and everything will be back to normal?

Hopefully not too late for an answer, but yes, if the new server didn't (for instance) accept any email, or collect any web data, then from the point of view of the old server, it was just powered off for a few hours, and it'll pick up where it left off.
Server Migration should do this for you in a couple of hours...

Getting Ready for Migration - Problem with BT ID

Hi,
I have read several e-mails from a recent thread on the forum which suggest that Migration of BT Yahoo e-mail accounts to the BT Mail service might resume sometime soon, and may even be completed by the end of April. Whether that will be so or not I guess we will have to wait and see. However, just in case, and for my account to be as ready as it can be, I need clarification of a particular potential problem.
I used to have two phone lines, let us say Line 1 and line 2. Now I only have one 'active' line (Line 1). Line 2 was cancelled a long time ago and my Broadband transferred to Line 1.
The above two lines had two seperate BT ID's (e-mail addresses). One being my Primary e-mail address which is one that ends @btinternet.com, but this remains the BT ID attached to Line 2 (the cancelled line).
The second BT ID, for Line 1, now my only line, has a User Name (e-mail address) which ends @gmail.com. The use of this e-mail address as the User Name was configured by a person on the BT Support Desk several years ago, when trying to resolve an issue at the time.
This morning I tried to change the User Name (e-mail address) on my BT ID for Line 1, so that it has the correct Primary e-mail address (ending @btinternet.com), I was unable to do so as the system said that this e-mail was already in use on another account (see above re cancelled line 2).
I can presently see no way that I can remove/delete/edit the account that covers the old cancelled line, so that it 'frees up' the use of my Primary e-mail address (@btinternet.com), enabling me to use it as the BT ID on my only remaining line (Line 1).
Is there a way I can cancel/delete/remove the now unused account? If not, is there a way for me to edit my Profile on Line 1, so that I can use my correct Primary e-mail as the ID, in preparation for the migration?
I apologise if this sound messy, but I want my account to be as 'clean' as possible, so that there are no potential problems when it finally comes to migration taking place.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Alan

Hi,
First of all, thanks to whiskywheels for the well-intended suggestion. I appreciated the thought, but in my experience there is not a chance that just a phone call to BT Support whould have solved the problem. It was BT Phone Support that in part are responsible for creating the problem I now find myself with.
However, the reason for my coming back on this is to say that I had a phone call this afternoon from a MOD who I am absolutely certain was trying to be honest and helpful. The upshot of what she said is that no useful purpose would be served by changing my BT ID, as I only have one BT ID, not two as I intimated in my first e-mail in this thread (see message 1 of this thread for an explanation).
I do have two accounts (one live - with the only phone line I have) and (one dead and now unused, although I can still access its information in MyBT).
Following the MOD's advice, having nothing to this effect in writing, I will try not to quote her exactly (I don't want to fall foul of breaking any BT rules etc), but my understanding was that my Primary e-mail address, and several sub-accounts are all 'linked' to one BT ID she said I have, the one that ends [email protected] .
My reason for raising this in the first place was to be as prepared as I can be for Migration to BT Mail when it finally comes along.
I have however to admit to now being really confused. Maybe it is the case that I have confused what is an ID, and the use of e-mail addresses as an ID. What I mean by that is as follows:
Using the e-mail tab on the BT.Com homepage the login asks for BT ID or Email Address, and then a Password. If I then use the one BT ID I am told that I have, then subseqently add the current e-mail password, I get a message which says "We don't recognise your details. Please check you've entered your full email address and password correctly and try again."
When I try inputting my primary e-mail address (instead of the BT ID), and then the e-mail password as before (which did work ok this afternnon, but now will not) I currently get the predictable request to change my password. It's a nightmare to say the least, and fills me with no confidence whatsoever for when that fateful day of Migration finally arrives.
If the login that comes up after pressing the e-mail tab asks for a BT ID, why will that not work, if as the MOD says I only have one BT ID not the two that I had thought. I could go on, but I am sure you get the point, confusion reigns!
I would have much preferred that my BT ID was the same as my primary e-mail address, but the MOD in question said 'to the effect' that it was not necessary.
Any thoughts or advice??
Regards,
AlanF

I'm about ready to migrate everything to google and gmail. Once again, the iCloud iMap server is rejecting my password and refusing to get my mail. This has happened dozens of times since iCloud went live. My password has NEVER been changed.

I'm about ready to migrate everything to google and gmail. Once again, the iCloud iMap server is rejecting my password and refusing to get my mail. This has happened dozens of times since iCloud went live. My password has NEVER been changed. The same password works flawlessly in iTunes store and Apple store. Somebody please give me a reason NOT to cut bait on iCloud.

iCloud Mail is down. Has been for a while. I would hope this will be resolved soon.
I agree with you. iCloud does not seem to have anywhere near a 99.9% uptime. :-)

Analysis Authorization Migration Question

Analysis Authorization Migration Question
This is detail Question
1) I am testing Analysis Authorization Migration in NW2004s SP9 and have applied all OSS notes that are relevant to SP09 and are coming in SP10.
2) We have 2 Info object flagged as Authorization relevant 0COMP_CODE and 0COSTCENTER
3) We have Object level security set-up in BW 3.x system and for a role we have specified values like 0COMP_CODE has value 1000, 1800. :. In the same role we have specified 0COSTCENTER value 130001 to 180001, : and hierarchy node.
4) When we migrate to Analysis Authorizations, using RSEC_MIGRATION, this program creates 2 Authorizations ZCOCODE00 & ZCOSTCTRH00. Both of them have 0COMP_CODE and 0COST_CENTER Objects.
5) ZCOCODE00 authorization gets value 0COMP_CODE values 1000, 1800. : and 0COSTCENTER Value :.
6) On the same line ZCOSTCTRH00 gets value 130001 to 180001, : and 0COMP_CODE :.
1st Question:
1) Why does it create 2 Authorizations?
2) During Checking it does not pass the authorizations, because it seems to me that it fails in Optimization process.
3) I manually merge the authorizations in ONE object then authorization check passes. In other word if I combine ZCOSTCTRH00 & ZCOCODE00 then Query authorization check passes.
Any one is struggling on this.
Please note, I am doing Migration so that it updates existing Profiles (Roles now from SP9).
Any comments will be very help full.
Pankaj Gupta

Hello Pankaj
There are some basic misunderstandings on your side.
Let me try to clarify:
First we should distinguish between migration of authorizations and of what a query does with them.
You had 2 auth objects before migration (in 3.x).
Of course, they must be migrated to 2 new analysis auths.
There is no general possibility to combine authorizations to a single one as the may appear in different roles and users. Moreover this would kill performance and finally, nobody would recognize the origin.
Only in very restricted cases one could think of a combination of auths which come out of migration. But, then people loose overview about what goes on.
Before the corrections in note "Migration IV" the : had not been inserted but now it is for good reasons.
Now, accept for the moment that you receive 2 auths.
Then, you cannnot (must not) combine the 2 resulting authorizations!
Authorization 1
COMP_CODE : 1000, 1300, :
Cost Center : :
Authorizations 2
Comp_Code :
Cost Center : 3100001-31999999; : plus a Hierarchy Node.
This means that e.g. combination
COMP_CODE 1000
COST_CENTER 3100001-31999999
is not allowed!!! Therefore, they must not be combined!
Also, the query and its optimization is comepletely independent of the migration. And here, during query run time the auths cannot be combined. It is no failure!
Moreover, the merging optimization is just a performance optimizaiton and has nothing to do with whether the query result is authorized or not.
If you combine them manually you have authorized different combinations.
Well, now you may wonder why you get 2 auths at all which leads to a "no auth" result in the query execution.
The reason is, that in 3.x where you got a result with your 2 auth objects the modeling was wrong.
If you want to authorize any combination of characteristic values, you should combine these characteritics together in one auth object, not in 2!
(In BI7.0 it works like that but not in 3.x)
But you defined 2 which may be valid even in several other InfoProviders independently and not even at the same time. Moreover, the auth objects may come from different roles and may be assigend to different users which then have completely different auth content. In general it is not possible to combine different auth objects or to find out those special situations which nevertheless allow for such optimizations. If you re-do a migration with more objects and users you could even receive different results which is also not satisfying.
Therefore, instead, the mechanism was introduced to insert a : auth to those characteristics that are auth relevant (and checked now with 7.0) but not in the currently processed auth object.
In you special case it may have made sense to combine them but not in general. And a migration can only try to work as general as possible.
For your application you may combine the 2 auths manually if you want to allow also the crossover combinations
COMP_CODE 1000
COST_CENTER 3100001-31999999

Getting ready to Purchase 9.0 and...

Getting ready to purchase photoshop Elements 9.0 for a brand new mac pro laptop. I currently have version 6.0 on home pc and have over 20K photos and many major albums I dont want to lose. Currently my 6.0 backs up to external harddrive, but I also plan on purchasing a portable hard drive as well.
Question is after installing the new 9.0 on my mac laptop, what do I do next to get all my photos and albums?

Thank you. I already use a external drive for back up
but I have to see if its mac compatible.....Im guesiing Ill be able to have them talk to each other...DH has different ext drive so it is a possibility too. Disappointing about losing features, but since I am currently using 6.0 maybe wont notice as much as I was excited to upgrade.
Wont know of it works or not for a couple weeks as Best Buy's 9.0 is backordered.....
Thanks again for the help...

Still Using Tiger, Was getting Ready to Install Leopard..

Hello-
I am still using Tiger but was getting ready to purchase Leopard, get the Missing Manual for Leopard and then Snow Leopard came out. So, I am getting a new MacBook Pro and that comes or is already installed with Snow Leopard. I was going to order one of David Pogue Manuals: Snow Leopard: The Missing Manual, or another one when someone changes, I think, from a Windowez-based OS to Snow Leopard OS X.
After thinking about it, I am wondering should I be getting both or for now just the Leopard Missing Manual rather then Snow Leopard: The Missing Manual. Is Snow Leopard like Leopard? Do you think I would be better off knowing or having a reference available for Leopard and trying to use The Leopard Manual initially rather then the snow Leopard. From what I have read, it sounds like Snow Leopard is almost like a major Leopard update, but I could be wrong.
I am not sure. I don't want to be (again) like the lost guy because I skipped a step. Also, there are a lot of manuals out on these topics but David P's is still not out (as far as I know). Would anybody recommend one of the other manuals that are out?
Thanks for your help. For somebody like me learning this stuff is hard. It does not come naturally so I am looking forward to having a good resource like these Missing Manuals available.

Neville- (I hope you can read both sections because I am curious to know if you are familiar wit what I am trying to describe in the second paragraph.)
I am not sure I can accurately explain why I have not done these, but I did do something like this and I had the applecare lady on the phone so I knew she could help me if I messed up. It was something very similar but there were 2 options to repair (choose repair I should say). One said it was very short in length and the other was very long. I do not remember holding down the "C" key but I might have held down the command or some other key. Also I did not get the chance to go any further because I did not pick the short method, I chose the long one and I had to run. The applecare lady was actually not on the phone the whole time she gave me her extension to reach her if I needed to. I thought that was nice.
When I got the MBP about 3 years ago, I was going to do some fixing and I called applecare. They told me (and her is where I am not sure of my facts) that the TechTool should not be used for some reason. They told me to go to the apple support page, get a DVD that allows you to "write" and find the latest DeluxeTechTool (which apparently did not come with my machine because it had not been out yet). Once I copy the Tool from the site to the DVD, I then use that and insert it before I boot up and the rest I forget.
Do you know anything about this? I remember going to the area she said and seeing the ability to download and copy the newer DeluxeTechTool but I did not do it because at Best Buy I could not find anybody who knew the kind of DVD I would need nor what the ones they did have were for.
I do need this info. too because I have never backed up the machine. If I get a new one I want to get into the habit of backing up all the time, but I will have to learn to. If you know of where a good place is on the web that describes what the R, RW, C, CR, etc. mean for the DVDs and CDs. Even at Costco every worker in electronics did not know the answer to that question.
Some I would need to just burn or copy one thing onto either the CD or the DVD like that DeluxeTechTool and some I would want to keep copying or burning multiple times. And then even some I would like to be able to burn songs on them and transfer them to my iTunes and use that same CD or DVD for a movie to be able to do it over and over again. (Unless the quality goes down with each copy and overwrite I do.)
thanks for your help with the "repair procedure" but I could tell there are some things left out that I would not know what to do. I know now because of what I recently did by the "Apple self test" or whatever it was called I did. Questions I would have would be; when you say insert the original software DVD, I would need to know when do I insert and I think I have 2 CDs that came with the machine. Is there one that says "software" and the other says "hard drive?"
When you say C key are you talking about the key with only the "C" on it?
If I repair permissions all the time by using disk utility while the notebook is on, why dos it say it repaired so many (I forge the word it used) but it will then give what it repaired. It will say things like ro-ororro-o should have been ro-ro- . Things like that.
My final question is, somebody told me if I hold down the shift key and restart the computer and keep holding the shift key until the turning wheel stops and it says "Safe Mode." They told me doing this is the same as repairing the permissions by the more complex way. it is interesting because it does create some a long what appears to be either a file name or something like when you start disk utility just by using the utility.app on my dock, once you start that up and get ready to use it there are 2 long (I am not even sure what to call them) but one has Media in it and then the long list of letters and I think numbers and one just has the long list of letters/or numbers. It is here that I never understood which one is my hard drive and which one to select or repair the permissions. The example is terrible because the picture in the Help page shows a list that is about double the length of mine and is very hard to know which list to pick to be repaired. Also when they say pick your hard drive, I have no idea which one is my hard drive. It does not say "hard drive" next to the numeric code but I think one is left aligned and the other is aligned center or something like that. Also, one code I think has "Media" next to the numeric name.
Thanks for listening to this. I doubt it makes much sense but maybe with you seeming like an expert in Macs, you might be able to figure out what I am trying to say.
Peace

Exchange 2013 Migration Questions

Exchange 2013 SP1 to a new server. I just realized that I have been asking migration questions on the "general" forum. Here's the deal:
We just want to move to a newer server and reuse the "old" server as a DAG member. We have a production exchange 2013 SP1 server and I found that the DB is not on a RAID'ed drive. So, we purchased a server. I installed 2012 R2 and all windows updates.
Then installed exchange 2013 SP1. Then got our AS/AV software installed. When I boot the new server up and login to ECP, it sees all the exchange users, DB and info. So, I followed:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876926(v=exchg.150).aspx
to migrate users and current email to the new DB. However, when users logged in their current email was not there. I also tried to use the ECP migration option and this resulted in the same, users old email was not in their inbox. So I had to perform that
same process on the old DB to get users old email back. I then tried to use the migration option in the ECP->same issue. So as of now, we are on the old DB and things are working fine.
According to:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997006(v=exchg.65).aspx
When moving from server to server, the DB filename must be the same. The non-production server does not have the same DB filename. Could this be the problem? Could someone point me to documentation on migrating from server to server

So I ran Get-Mailbox -Database “Source Database Name” " -ResultSize Unlimited | New-MoveRequest -TargetDatabase “Target Database Name” and moved all the user mailboxes. Then moved the system mailboxes, public folders and
OAB. Adjusted send connector to reflect new server. Log in as a user, all email is there. Great! Dismount the old DB. Wait a few minutes and user email is still there. Woohoo! Shut down the old exchange server and a few minutes later, all email is gone. Boo!
Boot the old server back up and mount the old DB, all email is back in user inbox. How do I use only the new DB in exchange 2013?
So I just dismounted the old DB and all email stays in users inbox?! So it must be something with the old server that did not get moved over but for the life of me I cant figure out what

Getting ready to sell, help appreciated!

Hey guys, Im getting ready to sell my 8330 on Sprint and I want to make sure I get this thing completely wiped clean. I did the Wipe clean in the security settings, I removed all media, I just want to make sure when I sell it the next person wont be able to restore it at all. I want to take my Sim card out right? Is their anything im forgetting? Thanks for the help!

hello,
what is your question ?
1) it's easy to put the microSD card in. Just keep in mind that the metal part is like a door. Open the door by sliding it (there are little arrows on it), put the memory card in it, close the door, then slide to lock the door.
2) he memory card belongs to you, there are datas on it ; I don't know if they are erased by the wiping but I doubt it. I think you don't want the new owner to find pictures of you in your bathroom.

Verizon getting ready to put the screws to us

So it looks like Verizon is getting ready to screw its loyal customers. The only plan that will be offered is the $30 a month. This all has to do with them trying to get customers to switch from AT&T to Verizon not for the good of it’s loyal customers. Here is a quote from Verizon COO Lowell McAdam “McAdam indicated that not offering an unlimited plan for the launch of the iPhone 4 would create a barrier for customers who might otherwise switch from AT&T. "I'm not going to shoot myself in the foot," he said.” Proof that it’s all about them getting more new customers from AT&T. They will try to tell us that it is good for us but again it’s all about getting AT&T customers. So people like me who have wifi at home and work will never get there money’s worth out of the $30 a month plan. Again more money in there pockets. So one of my questions is what happens when you activate your iphone on a line that is due for an upgrade (which has the $15 a month plan now) and then go and transfer the ESN# to the line that you really wanted to upgrade. The phone that was on the upgrade line is now deactivated and when you go to reactivate it are they going to say that the $15 plan is no longer available and force you to buy the $30 plan? I wonder if this is why they won’t let you transfer your upgrade when you preorder. Something just doesn’t seem right here. I smell a rat. Well I guess AT&T is looking better all the time.

Some are never happy. The going theme here Verizon was either going to charge much more for the Iphone to have data, or limit it like ATT,
Well they are offering what most were not expecting. Totally unlimited data, and someone is upset they are not limiting it.
It costs a TON (I suspect in the multi billions) of money to bring a new phone to market. That money is recouped, in this case through the data plan whch at least (for now) is unlimited.

Iprint migration question

We had to back out of a migration last week because of issues with edir version on Netware. I've updated that and TSA, but another question just came up. I'm migrating iPrint from a cluster, plus doing transfer ID. If I choose cluster resource on the source server in miggui, I only get the consolidate option. Does that mean I need to first run a consolidation job just for iprint and then go back and run the transfer ID? Or will the consolidation screw up a transfer ID?

$(UService migrations based on cluster resources and Transfer ID are separated in Migration Tools (miggui). You need to execute Cluster based iPrint migration in one project and Transfer ID migration in another project.
Perform all service consolidation migrations and make sure they are all completed/synced and working before attempting Transfer ID.

What AnaMusic said.
However, if you have a rescue email on your Apple ID, upon logging into your Apple ID via http://appleid.apple.com and clicking on "Password & Security" you would see "Would you like to send security reset info to [email protected]" so on... Replacing [email protected] with the rescue email on file, if applicable.
