How to properly change the server that is running service application?

Hello
In our SharePoint 2013 farm we use the User Profile service applications very heavily.
I want to change the server that is hosting the service. The User Profile service application which is currently running on: (Server-1), But, I want it to be running on: (Server-2) instead.
Is this (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee704549.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396) the
right/proper way to do it? What about the order?
I mean: Should I go to: Manage services on server > Server-2 > Start: User Profile. 
After that: Manage services on server > Server-1 > Snbsp;
Or, The other way around:
I mean: Should I go to: Manage services on server > Server-1 > Snbsp;
After that: Manage services on server > Server-2 > Start: User Profile. 
Or, Is it a totally different way? Does the same way apply on other service applications too e.g. Managed Metadata too ? 
I am asking about this because I really want to be super cautious while doing this change to avoid crashing the service or corrupting it.
Thank you !

The order doesn't really matter if you're quickly doing this, but you could start it on the new and stop it on the old.
User Profile Service should generally run on the 'WFE(s)' since it is an end-user facing service.

  • Changing the accounts used to run Service Applications

    We would like to install SharePoint 2013 using seperate accounts for different service apps (meaning seperate App Pools, presumably) Is there a concensus on what is the better approach:
    1.Create the basic Sharepoint config using AutoSPInstaller, but since it does not permit you to use seperate accounts per SA, we either want to create them automatically using the script to use a single services, then change the App Pools used by the SA
    later on through PowerShellby creating a new AP then reassigning the SA .
    2. Create the SA post AutoSPInstaller using a stand-alone script.Thoughts?
    Is there a reason why most guides specify using the same service account (and App Pool) for all service applications these days even for high security environments?

    Hi, the biggest reason to not use too many app pools is for resources. Each App Pool uses quite a bit.
    The max App Pools per farm is 20 if i remember correctly. (SP2010) Not sure if it is the same on SP2013.
    i Prefer doing it via SPAutoInstaller. Certain SA's you might want to do manually. i Usually do UPS manually

  • How do I change the loop that is running when an event happens?

    Hello,
       I've written a program that does a linear temperature ramp on sample substrates under UHV. Right now, the program just ramps the current of a power supply(which heats the sample by radiative heating), reads the temperature from a thermocouple, and using a feedback formula adjust the current accordingly so that the ramp stays linear. All of this is done in a while loop.  I now need the program to be able to ramp to a certain temperature, and hold at that temperature for a time period.  I already have the feedback formula written in order to do this, but how do I tell my program to use my new loop once the old loop reaches a certain temperature? I was thinking maybe an event structure, but still not sure on how to use it.  Your help is greatly appreciated, thank you. 

    You need a state machine (or action engine). You can create one, from the Labview templates.
    see here
    An easier way is to stop the loop and continiou with a new loop. Of cource this option is "one way".

    iTunes stores your iPhone backups in the Library folder in your Home folder.
    iTunes places the backup files in these places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes

  • I changed my gmail e-mail password. How do I change the password that Thunderbird uses to log in to gmail.

    I changed the password used to access my gmail account. Thunderbird is still using the old password to access the account. How do I change the password that Thunderbird is using. The last time this happened I ended up creating a new Thunderbird account for gmail. Creating the new Thunderbird account at least let me enter the new password. I really don't want to have three Thunderbird accounts for the same gmail account.
    Please do not respond with suggestions about using Password Manager. I do not use it and do not intend to start. I looked and none of my Thunderbird passwords are displayed there. All I want to do is change the password in Thunderbird. If Thunderbird does not have a feature allowing you to change it's passwords, one should be added.

    This is the only way.

    Hi,
    Tap the iPod icon in the Dock. Then tap the Airplay icon just to the right of the volume slider.
    Make sure the iPad speakers are selected, not your wireless.

    How do I change the address that my iphone sends when i send mail.  I have deleted the account but it still shows up as the account that will be replyed to if people hit reply.

    Hey There I didn't need to change it as it shows my correct name in my icloud account. The problem is on my Mac where it still shows my Full name as my partners name.
    For eg. if I send an email from "Mail" on mac and I use my icloud account then the name that shows up is my partners name when the email is received. If I send an email from the Icloud Mail box that I log into on my browser then the name that shows up when the email is received is my name which is correct.
    When I go into preferences in "Mail" on my Mac to change my name, the name is ghosted out and doesn't allow me to change it ! ? It is here that it still show my partners name ?
