BSOD after an in-place upgrade from Windows Server 2003 R2 to Window Server 2008

Xylems92 wrote:Unfortunately, we cannot take this approach.We have to move to 2008 (not R2) due to a software that runs on this machine and is validated will not run on 2008 R2 and above.

So i need this to work as an in place upgrade to 2008I feel your pain, but any company worth their salt will (meaning the vendor) should know that you cannot simply perform an in-place upgrade of a Server OS.
Really the proper method is to backup everything, format and install Server 2008 (are you limited to 32-bit?), restore data/reinstall software. What's the reasoning for the upgrade? 2003 EOL or something else?
Do you have a guarantee that the software will even work on...

Hello everyone.
We seem to be having an issue when doing an in place upgrade on our windows 2003 R2 server to go to Windows 2008. Every time we try and do the upgrade, once the server reboots it blue screens with no real information. Just mentioned to try and do a check disk to check for hard drive issues.
It gives us the option to go the earlier version of windows (back to 2003 R2) but nothing we have tried has succeeded so far.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

In-place upgrade from windows 2008 R2 to windows 2012

Hi all,
we are currently running SAP ERP EHP7 (Netweaver 7.40 ) on Windows 2008 R2 server, MS SQL 2012 database.
Is it possible to do in-place upgrade to Windows Server 2012?
We want to do upgrade without buying new hardware and perform system copy.
Regards

Hi,
the only note where we discussed our findings about in-place upgrades of the Windows operating system is SAP Note 1494740.
Even though the upgrade to Windows Server 2012 is not discussed explicitly, the note is also valid for Windows Server 2012.
The only thing you have to take care is: upgrade your system components (database, other 3rd party software) to versions supported on Windows Server 2012 before you are performing the in-place upgrade.

In-Place Upgrade from Windows 7 Ent N to Windows 8 Ent N not working

I have spent the better part of 2 days trying to get Windows 7 Enterprise N to upgrade to Windows 8 Enterprise N with no results. The error message I receive after selecting the upgrade option and the subsequent compatibility check is:
Windows 7 Enterprise N cannot be upgraded to Windows 8 Enterprise N. You can choose to install a new copy of Windows 8 Enterprise N instead, but this is different from an upgrade, and does not keep your files, settings, and programs. You'll need to reinstall
any programs using the original installation discs or files. To save your files before installing Windows, back them up to an external location such as a CD, DVD, or external hard drive. To install a new copy of Windows 8 Enterprise N, click the Back button
in the upper left-hand corner, and select Custom (advanced).
I have tested both production and MSDN copies of Windows 7 Ent N > Windows 8 Ent N and neither will upgrade. Per MS documentation, I SHOULD be able to upgrade. I've found nothing regarding this via search engine except one person having the
same issue when Windows 8 was still RTM. However, no one replied back to him.

ForcedToCreateThisProfile,
The Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 Upgrade Paths page show what versions of Windows 7 can be upgraded in place to Windows 8. According to the page, the only versions of Windows 7 that
can be upgraded to Windows 8 Enterprise are:
Windows 7 Professional (Volume License)
Windows 7 Enterprise (Volume License)
Windows 8 (Volume License)
As you can see, there is no mention of any N Edition of Windows having the capability to upgrade in place.
I hope this helps!

After the in place upgrade from SharePoint server 2007 to 2010, the out of the box approval workflow does not prompt for additional information after check in of a major version.

I think it has to do with the interaction between Word, InfoPath, IIS, and /or SharePoint, but I cannot put my finger on it. Maybe client integration or authentication settings? I have looked at it in wireshark
and have not seen anything glaring.
Steps to reproduce the (working) behavior:
Set up a document library in SharePoint 2010.
Under versioning settings, make the following changes:
Set Require Content Approval for submitted Items to Yes
Select Create Major and Minor (draft) versions
Set require checkout to Yes
Create an out of the box “approval” workflow with the following settings:
Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item.
I then create a new document. Save it. check it in. it is now version 0.1.
I then open it again. check it out. Make a change. Close and save it.
Check it in.
Publish major version:
At this point a screen is presented to me to enter workflow parameters. This screen comes up in Enterprise 2013 and MOSS 2007, but not the migrated version of 2010:
This is what I need help with. It should come up in 2010. To fix it in 2013, I had to change the IIS bindings to only have 1 entry for a port. I did this for 2010 and it did not work.
Any help or ideas is very appreciated. Thanks very much in advance.

Hi Chris,
According to your description, my understanding is that the approval workflow cannot work when the workflow was set to start to approve publishing a major version of an item after upgrading to SharePoint 2010.
I recommend to check the approval workflow in Workflow settings of the corresponding library to see if the Start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item is checked.
For test, I recommend to create a new OOB approval workflow and set it to start to approve publishing a major version of an item in the same library to see if the workflow can work.
Thanks

Email problems upgrading from Exchange server 2003...

My email connections were working perfectly when my email hosting company (1and1) used Exchange 2003 (I have several accounts set up on IMAP4). However as soon as they upgraded to Exchange 2007, I can no longer get access. Needless to say 1and1 say it is an issue for vodafone, and vodafone say I need to contact 1and1.
Also am I right in thinking that I can only set up one mail for exchange account on my phone ?
Many thanks

Upgrade from Windows Home Server 2011

Even though Windows Server 2012 Essentials is being mentioned as a replacement for Windows Home Server 2011, there doesn't seem to be any documentation or mention of can you upgrade from Windows Home Server 2011 to Windows Server 2012 Essentials?
Will this work with the beta download and will we then be able to upgrade this version to the RC and/or release version?
As you may guess I have a Windows Home Server 2011 and am interested in looking at Windows Server 2012 Essentials to see what it offers me. The storage spaces sounds exactly what I want to replace the drive extender on the previous home server version. The
problem is that I don't mind sacrificing my present server box by installing the beta but it would be nice if it actually retained what settings it could via an upgrade option, which I could then have a chance of using with a proper release version.

Just clarifying about the 'upgrade path' and 32b vs 64b.
Yes, no in-place upgrade. However, one could theorise about some form of 'migration' being possible, where the list of users, the content of your shares, the current backups, would be 'moved' from old box to new.
I was in fact pretty sure no such process existed. (Wouldn't it be neat though? AND in future _at least theoretically_ possible, using processes similar to SBS AD migration.)
From this perspective putting the new box onto the network is similar to replacing WHSv1 with WHS11, in that nothing is carried over. No gain, but no lesser. Working on currently available information.
The later comment about the work laptop is, TTBOMK, a resounding 'NO'. When attempting to join a member of another AD the 'connect' process stated 'You must 1st remove the PC from the other AD'. I haven't tested this extensively but believe that PC's _capable_
of operating in an AD (Pro, vs Home, versions) will be made members of the WS12E AD. It is only PC's that do not have 'domain join' capability that are left in workgroup mode.
TTBOMK, AFAICS, so far, etc...

Upgrade from Windows Server 2012 Active Directory to Windows Server 2012 R2 Active Directory

We are currently running Windows Server 2012 Active Directory and would like to upgrade to Windows Server 2012 R2 AD. Is it OK to just do an in-place upgrade, or is it advisable to build new domain controllers on R2? Are there any guides or articles anyone
can recommend?

Hi Ginandtonic,
To upgrade DC(Domain Controller) from windows server 2012 to windows server 2012 r2, please refer to these articles:
Upgrade from windows Server 2012 to 2012 R2
Upgrade Active Directory from 2012 to 2012 R2

I compared the registry with a working system but the Counters - and all other keys - looked fine.
At the same time as upgrading a DC a colleague was updating an unrelated server, and he started to see similar events in the event log (but for the Dell OpenManage Essentials service, not ADWS). The error was complaining about KERNELBASE.dll which set my
spider sense tingling. We knew that this server had Windows Updates pending. Fully updating it solved the problem on that server.
I solved the ADWS problem in the end by fully Windows Updating the DC. In particular, the ADWS Service started successfully after installing KB2919355 and rebooting. That also
'unlocked' a further 59 updates pending.
After the in-place upgrade I always fully Windows Update but I'm 99% certain that KB2919355 did NOT show up when I did a Check for Updates straight after a reboot so I thought the DC was up-to-date. I then spent hours investigating the ADWS problem and rebooted
as part of the diagnostics. It was then that I noticed on the logon screen that there were updates pending...
Moral of the story? Windows Update, then Update again, and again, and again. The length of time it takes to Windows Update after an upgrade from 2008R2 to 2012R2 is painful though.

Upgrade from Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 to Windows Server 2012 R2

Hi, I was trying to setup a new DC for our company, originally it's DC is Windows Server 2003 SP2, we decided not tomigrate it and instead build a new one from scratch which is Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. I was able to set it up, perform windows updates,
added roles, perform Domains and Trusts, etc
When suddenly our global standards shifted to Windows Server 2012 R2, so instead of creating another server from scratch, this is the time to upgrade from 2k8 to 2K12 R2, besides the MAPtool which I've downloaded to check for prerequisites, etc, are there
other things I need to be aware of? backups? etc.
Regards,
Jeff

SAP Server upgrade from Windows 2003 and 2008 R2 with Oracle Database

Hi,
We need to upgrade upgrade our Windows servers that are running our SAP systems from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2. We are using Microsoft Clustering for HA so an inplace upgrade seems not possible.
Someone has suggested to us that we will need to export our database and reimport it to achieve this upgrade however but I cannot understand why this would be necessary (we are not changing the underlying filesystem!).
Could someone please confirm whether a database export and import is required for this OS upgrade scenario? I have done a bit of research but nothing has jumped out and now I need an answer to this quickly.
We are running
- ERP 6.0 NW 7.01 (soon to be 7.02 with ABAP stack only)
- XI(PI) Java & ABAP
- SRM (Java & ABAP)
- Portal (Java only)
- PLM (Java & ABAP)
- BW (BI 7.0) (Java and ABAP)
Thank You
Felicity

Hello,
You need to go for 'Homogeneous System Copy' to achieve this, but since almost all the systems in your landscape include the Java Stack as well - so the system copy with Export/Import is to be carried out.
Even if you are not going for file system change, but it is a Windows environment and you can't put SAP up on the target Windows (windows 2008 R2) just by copying the contents and file system from source to target. You need SAPinst to create the registry and all. - On top of that you have Java stacks involved, so for java stack you can't carry out just backup/restore method to put SAP up there on target - so you need Export/import because for java stack some OS level dump is to be collected during system copy from source and it needs to be imported on target OS.
Are you clear on this one ?
Read system copy guide once and Search in OSS for the Notes to check how to upgrade from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2.
Thanks

Would like to upgrade to Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 from DNS 6 (which would also entail a necessary upgrade from Windows 2000 to 7) but understand after all this expense and trouble, DNS upgrade may not be compatible with Firefox 6?

Question
Would like to upgrade to Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 from DNS 6 (which would also entail a necessary upgrade from Windows 2000 to 7) but understand after all this expense and trouble, DNS upgrade may not be compatible with Firefox 6?
Main priority is voice activation upgrade. Ideas about how to proceed appreciated!

AFAIK, it's been over three years since a WinXP laptop or desktop PC has been sold; I specifically bought a laptop in June 2008 because it was being clearanced by that retail chain to meet Microsoft's deadline, and got it real cheap. It was tagged for the store manager to purchase, but he let me have it because I exceeded his expectations for the services I performed for his store and thought I deserved it. Anything that wasn't made for Vista-compatibility will be very iffy with Win7, IMO - so that basically rules out anything that was made before like Oct or Nov 2007.
Unless another DNS 11 user happens to see this thread and can verify whether it works in Firefox 6.0 or not, I don't what to recommend except for you doing a web search to see what other DNS / Firefox users have to say about compatibility.
