Lab setup for Migration

Hi,
I have a ConfigMgr 2007 environment with a Central, a primary and couple of secondary sites, which I have to migrate to 2012 hierarchy with one primary and couple DPs. I am planning to test the migration in my personal lab before I do anything in production.
The OS and SQL versions for ConfigMgr 2007 servers are Windows 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2 respectively. and the proposed OS and SQL versions for ConfigMgr 2012 are Windows 2012 and SQL 2012.
My concern here is that the resources which I have in my personal lab are very limited. So in order to test the migration can I use Windows 2003 and SQL 2005 for configmgr 2007 hierarchy and Windows 2008 and SQL 2008 for ConfigMgr 2012 in the lab environment?
would I be able to simulate the migration? or does the OS and SQL versions matter really?
Thanks,
Peer

As long as they are supported, the OS and SQL versions aren't really a factor in the migration. Is there a reason you wouldn't just use eval versions though to match the production destination systems?
Also, I would most definitely use the latest versions of all products available. Specifically, this means ConfigMgr 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012 R2, and SQL Server 2012 SP1 CU7 (SQL Server 2012 R2 was just recently released but not officially supported and
may have issues).

Pre-requisite for lab setup for database administration track.

Hi, does anybody know what setup is required to participate in Lab for database administration track on Feb 11?

The code you have in the rules file looks like it is incorrect. PCon would not be defined automatically and would therefore return zero. I think what you are actually looking for is something like:
Call Hs.Con ("",HS.Node.PCon(""),"")
Note that you can determine if the consolidation rules are used from you metadata under AppSettings. Look for the setting called ConsolidationRules. If you set this to Y, it uses the rules under Sub Consolidate(), if you set it N, it will automatically consolidate even if you have nothing under Sub Consolidate().
Further, you can affect what gets consolidated in the metadata. Some of your accounts etc. may not be set correctly. Some things to check:
For Accounts, make sure that IsConsolidated is checked and the AccountType is correct
Also for Accounts, ensure that EnableCustom1Aggr ... is checked
Finally, if the Entities have different currencies, check if you are getting data up to [Parent Total]. If not, the problem is your translation and not your consolidation.

Cmexpress7 lab setup

what could be your suggestion of a lab setup for learning cm7 express..
router=
switch=
phones=

Hello,
I have my CUCME 7x running on a 2801 router, with an AIM-CUE daughtercard for voicemail. I have a 3560 switch with PoE, and you can use any phone that the system supports. In my lab I have a couple of 7931's, some 7961's, and 7942's. It works like a charm.
Hope that helped, if so please rate.

VOIP setup for the lab

Next year we are planning a VOIP migration for some of our in house users. We dont have any WAN connections and bandwidth between floors are gigabit.
What I am looking to do is buy a small setup for our lab this year so I can begin to learn about VOIP etc. So far I have researched and this is what I am considering buying.
- Cisco 2801-V/K9
- VIC2-2FX0 voice interface card
- 3560 24 port 10/100 POE standard image
- 5 7940G ip phones.
Is this a decent setup for the lab ?
Would it allow me to configure a basic voip setup and learn the fundamentals of configuring VOIP ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave,
You can probably get away with this for even less.
You could probably get something like a 1751-V with PVDM-256k and VIC-2FXS with the IP phones. You may need the power bricks in this scenario.
Alternatively,
CISCO2621XM with NM-2V with VIC-2FXS and the phones/bricks
But yes, your current setup will work. You would need to add something like a PVDM2-8, PVDM2-16, or PVDM2-32 for DSP resources, with the number depending on whether or not you want to play with transcoding/conferencing.

Lab setup multiple SIP domains for federation

I have been setting up multiple Lync 2013 lab environments and have a question about my external DNS environment. I have installed server 2012R2 on the host running the lab with its own domain (contoso.local). I have this server which hosts a separate domain,
Hyper-V and a CA, this is what I am using for my external environment. The network IP is 10.0.0.0/16.
I set up a server called vRouter that has 3 NICs. In Hyper-v I have 3 virtual switches configured. One for the External environment - 10.0.0.0/16 (not necessary for lab, setup to transfer needed files from internet to VMs), one for 192.168.1.0/24, and one
with 192.168.2.0/24. The virtual router has RRAS installed and can route traffic between 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24.
My VMs for the lab are as follows.
1test.local
AD1.1test.local -192.168.1.100
FE1.1test.local - 192.168.1.200
Edge1 - 192.168.1.210int, 10.0.5.10ext
2test.local
AD2.1test.local -192.168.1.100
FE2.1test.local - 192.168.1.200
Edge2.1test.local - 192.168.1.210int, 10.0.6.10ext
Both environments have users that can log into lync and message each other.
When installing the Edge servers I used the same FQDN and IP for the external interface since all ports are open and firewalls have been disabled internally. I installed the internal certificate from the AD server which has CA role in each environment. On
the external device I used the Host's CA to get certificates for both Edge servers. The Edge servers have 2 NICs one on their expected internal environment with no Gateway. And one on the external environment. These servers are not part of any domain. however
I did add the contoso.local to the primary DNS suffix when domain membership changes under system properties. I then created the two following A records on the host computer (10.0.0.0\16 network, contoso.local) to be able to see router their external traffic.
Edge1.contoso.local 10.0.5.10
Edge2.contoso.local 10.0.6.10
Both of these FQDNs are what is in my topology for the Access Edge service, Web Conferencing Edge Service, and A/v Edge Service with the same IP using different ports in both environments.
Both environments are set up to support the other SIP domain. However when I try to add a user from the other domain I cannot communicate with that user nor see their presence.
I looked over my external DNS settings and realized that I had not set a SRV record on the 10.0.0.0\16 network(external).
I then realized that if I try to add the traditional _sipfederationtls._tcp.contoso.local I will have 2 conflicting entries.
One for:
_sipfederationtls._tcp.contoso.local - 10.0.5.10 (1test.local edge)
and one for:
_sipfederationtls._tcp.contoso.local - 10.0.6.10 (2test.local edge)
Should I spin up another VM and make that a DC with a CA and trust it to the host computer, set up conditional forwarders. Something like Trust.local and correct the DNS, topology builder FQDN, and certificates on the second edge server?
Edge2.trust.local
Or can I add a new zone to my host computer then correct the DNS, topology builder FQDN, Certificates?
Or am I missing another external DNS record on my contoso.local environment?
Can I set up a CNAME entry that will mask the second edge server?
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks

If contoso.com is not a sip domain, then you won't need that DNS record at all. Those records are autodiscover records that Lync uses based upon the sip domain.
So you'd need
_sipfederationtls._tcp.1test.local
and
_sipfederationtls._tcp.2test.local
What effectively happens, is when someone on the outside tries to IM
[email protected], their Lync edge server will see the 1test.local and query the appropriate above record for it so it knows where to communicate.

Best practice for migrating IDOCs?

Subject: Best practice for migrating IDOC's?
Hi,
I need to migrate some IDOC's to another system for 'historical reference'.
However, I don't want to move them using the regular setup as I don't want the inbound processing to be triggered.
The data that was created in the original system by the processed IDOC's will be migrated to the new system using migration workbench. I only need to migrate the IDOC's as-is due to legal requirements.
What is the best way to do this? I can see three solutions:
A) Download IDOC table contents to a local file and upload them in the new system. Quick and dirty approach, but it might also be a bit risky.
B) Use LSMW. However, I'm not sure whether this is feasible for IDOC's.
C) Using ALE and setting up a custom partner profile where inbound processing only writes the IDOC's to the database. Send the IDOC's from legacy to the new system. Using standard functionality in this way seems to me to be the best solution, but I need to make sure that the IDOC's once migration will get the same status as they had in the old system.
Any help/input will be appreciated
Regards
Karl Johan
PS. For anyone interested in the business case: Within EU the utility market was deregulated a few years ago, so that any customer can buy electricity from any supplier. When a customer switches supplier this is handled via EDI, in SAP using ALE and IDOC's. I'm working on a merger between two utility companies and for legal reasons we need to move the IDOC's. Any other data is migrated using migration workbench for IS-U.

Hi Daniele
I am not entirely sure, what you are asking, Please could you provide additional information.
Are you looking for best practice recommendations for Governance, for example: Change transports between DEV, QA and PRD in BPC 7.0?
What is the best method? Server Manager backup and restore, etc ?
And
Best Practice recommendations on how to upgrade to a different version of BPC, for example: Upgrading from BPC 7.0 to 7.5 or 10.0 ?

Exchange Server 2013 - Lab setup with internal emails only

Hi,
I'm new to Exchange Server 2013. I've started a POC on the product by setting up a Lab environment with one 1 AD server and 1 Exchange server (Both Windows 2012 R2). As this is a POC I just need the internal email communication. I don't want the mails to
go over the internet.
I've completed the installation part and just started to configure Send/Receive connectors and got stuck with the question whether the connectors are required or not.
Could someone please help me out in configuring internal email setup for Exchange 2013 lab setup.
Regards,
Nithin

Hi,
You need not to configure send/receive connectors for internal email.
The following article for your reference:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us//library/aa996395(v=exchg.150).aspx
Default Receive connectors created during setup
Certain Receive connectors are created by default when you install the Mailbox server role.
Default Receive connectors created on a Mailbox server running the Transport service
When you install a Mailbox server running the Transport service, two Receive connectors are created. No additional Receive connectors are needed for typical operation, and in most cases the default Receive connectors don't require a configuration change.
These connectors are the following:
Default <server name>   Accepts connections from Mailbox servers running the Transport service and from Edge servers.
Client Proxy <server name>   Accepts connections from front-end servers. Typically, messages are sent to a front-end server over SMTP.
Each connector is assigned a TransportRole value. You can use it to determine the role the connector is running in. This can be helpful in cases where you are running multiple roles on a single server. In the case of each Receive connector previously
mentioned, their TransportRole value is HubTransport.
To view the default Receive connectors and their parameter values, you can use the
Get-ReceiveConnector cmdlet.
Default Receive connectors created on a Front End Transport server
During installation, three Receive connectors are created on the Front End transport, or Client Access server. The default Front End Receive connector is configured to accept SMTP communications from all IP address ranges. Additionally, there is a Receive
connector that can act as an outbound proxy for messages sent to the front-end server from Mailbox servers. Finally, there is a secure Receive connector configured to accept messages encrypted with Transport Layer Security (TLS). These connectors are the following:
Default FrontEnd <server name>   Accepts connections from SMTP senders over port 25. This is the common messaging entry point into your organization.
Outbound Proxy Frontend <server name>   Accepts messages from a Send Connector on a back-end server, with front-end proxy enabled.
Client Frontend <server name>   Accepts secure connections, with Transport Layer Security (TLS) applied.
In a typical installation, no additional Receive connectors are required.

Hello,
Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Product
...Now I need to support Windows 7 64-bit OS. I cannot find the same version setup for 64-bit OS.
Can anyone provide me the link?No, in fact, Oracle *10g XE* is not certified on Windows *7*. As previously posted in *10.2* only *10.2.0.5* is certified in this platform, but *10gXE* is in *10.2.0.1*.
To migrate from *10gXE* to *10.2.0.5* you'll need to download patchs from My Oracle Support, so you need to pay for a license.
So, I see 2 ways:
- 1. Take a SE1 (Standard Edition 1), the License is rather cheap. Then, all the patchs will be available.
- 2. Install Oracle *11.2 XE*.
Oracle *11.2 XE* is certified on Windows *7*. It's already available for *32 Bit* Windows platform in Beta release, but I've heard that the Production Release will be available for *64 Bit* Windows platform:
Re: What is the plan for 64-bit Windows?
You may try it:

Installing ML on New Drive: TM, Clone, Setup or Migration Assistant?

I'm about to intall a new SSD in my late 2008 MacBook 2.4, 4 GB, which is already running ML. The computer originally came with Leopard installed and I personalized it with Migration Assistant, transferring some apps as old as Panther or older. I've directly installed all other OS upgrades on top of this initial transfer.
The litter from the older apps did not get in the way until I upgraded to Lion, eversince I have been getting console errors for all kinds of deleted apps.
In installing ML on the new SSD which method (TM, Clone, Setup or Migration Assistant) would allow me to transfer maximum personalization with minimum litter from defunct apps?

Just to be clear, if I'm getting an error like this:
PluginProcess[3299]: Error loading /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/DVCPROHDAudio.plugin/Contents/MacOS/DVCPROHDAudio: dlopen(/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/DVCPROHDAudio.plugin/Contents/MacOS/DVCPROHD Audio, 262): no suitable image found. Did find:
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/HAL/DVCPROHDAudio.plugin/Contents/MacOS/DVCPROHDAu dio: mach-o, but wrong architecture
ostensibly caused by FinalCut Pro, will Migration Assistant then realize that FinalCut is not on the new disk and not transfer that section of the library?

Config Lab tool for Oracle CC&B Package

Hi,
Is there any configlab tool for Oracle CC&B package for confifuration management accross different environments. we can use VSS as version management for java codes and cobol codes in CC&B. But i am unable to identify any config lab tool for configuration management.
Guys please help me out in this.

Sayantan,
There is (unfortunately) no silver bullet for your requirement.
Here is a good blog article on the different options available.
https://blogs.oracle.com/theshortenspot/entry/configlab_versus_bundling_vers
Implementations use variations and combinations of the 3 tools that are available, coupled with 3rd party migration tools (like vss). The strategy for an implementation's development-to-production life cycle will vary based on a multitude of factors. Skill set of the IT shop, what tools they are used to, internal audit procedures, etc.
Hope the article provides some food for thought!

Advice for migrating from Exchange to OS X Server

I am in the process of migrating away from Microsoft products altogether. The biggest beast of all is going to be Exchange.
I am looking at imapsync as a possible method of migrating user mailboxes. Is there anyone here who has undergone this task? Are there any better solutions out there for migrating the mailboxes over?
Thanks in advance.

Is it really that problematic?
I am supporting (begrudgingly) a number of OS X Mail servers. What Apple has up to now has not been very good. No vacation messaging without rolling your own add-in, weak web mail interface, poor integration with other Apple products (iPhone), randomly corrupted databases for no apparent reason, the inability to maintain read/not read status on reconstruct or migration, poor spam handling, no migration tools. I call it the problem of the week. I got a new one today. Unlike any other problem ever seen so far. And it effects one account only. I will admit that I am just tired of it. Does it work. Mostly. But there are better solutions on the platform than the built in solution. Now, this "may" change when Snow Leopard is released. http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/02/13/snowleopard_server_to_ramp_up_scalability_andperformance.html which I can not confirm nor deny.
I have used straight postfix on Linux before with only an occasional problem, but never in a corporate environment.
Sadly, this is postfix on OS X, not postfix on Linux. As sad as this is to say, there is a difference and the difference is not in favor of OS X.
My boss, on the other hand has been a Mac guy for 10+ years and assures me that I will be impressed by the performance gains and lack of issues we will have by switching over from Microsoft products.
You will have gains. You will not be tied to licensing fees. You will not be plagued by the intricacies of an Exchange server and its myriad of updates, patches, tweaks, and adjustments. Heck, you will not have to reboot the machine every week to keep it from crashing. OS X has a lot of advantages over Windows in a server environment. OS X has a lot of really good services that are rock solid (BIND, Apache, racoon, the dev tools, Apple File Services (yes, I said it, it is a really good filing protocol!), Podcast server, wikis, directory services, chat server...) that make the OS X a swiss army knife of sorts. But in my experience, mail has been an afterthought and generally more trouble than it is worth.
As a side note, I should mention that Apple did pull off some real magic with the one checkbox mail cluster. I you have an Xsan and are load balancing your mail servers, the setup is beyond easy. There, I said something nice.
Is there anyone out there who has done this successfully and may perhaps know of an easy method of migrating the mailboxes in. Right now, it is a toss up between imapsync and doing a straight import via Outlook using their pst files from the nightly exmerge.
There are methods of doing the migration. If you decide to import via Outlook, I suggest doing a rule based move. If you do a drag and drop, the IMAP connection will likely drop after a few hundred messages and then you have no idea where it stopped. Create a rule to do the move. It will take longer but the time lost to frustration and manually finding where the copy stopped equals out.
Good luck in your migration. I am sorry if I came down negative. OS X Server is a great product. I just have a lot of criticism about the mail implementation. I will say, I am looking forward to September a bit as my opinion may change.

XPS 2720 Question - best ssd setup for performance

Hi Guys
the 32gb msata on the motherboard that comes with the AIO, is this any good, want to upgrade ssd, do I keep msata but get larger or do I get rid of this and the 1tb sata 7200 and buy samsung 850 evo/pro and will this give me the best all round performance, interested what you think and what you would buy
next thing I will need is a dummies guide how to do this and i am not that technically minded,
1 important thing is I dont have recover disks and my backup/recovery does not work as it says I have corrupted environment, and dell does not detect my machine and when i input my service tag number it does not recognise that either.
what is going on,lol

The first thing you need is Windows 8.1 installation media, see here:
http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-microsoft-windows-and-office/download-microsoft-windows/download-windows-8-1-retail-and-oem-iso/
Get a 250-500 GB mSATA and get rid of the 32 GB SSD cache drive. I prefer Crucial in particular the MX200 but Samsung are good also:
http://uk.crucial.com/gbr/en/compatible-upgrade-for/Dell/xps-one-2720
To install follow the instructions in the owner's manual to remove the mSATA mini-card:
http://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_xps_desktop/xps-27-2720-aio_Owner%27s%20Manual_en-us.pdf
Change the SATA operation to AHCI and wipe the HDD using DISKPART → CLEAN ALL:
http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/ensure-you-have-the-correct-sata-configuration-in-the-bios-setup-for-your-configuration/sata-operation/
http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/cleaning-up-a-drive-format-vs-secure-wipe-ssd-and-hdd/
Install Windows using a local account without a password (so your new factory image doesn't have your Microsoft Account associated with it):
http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/a-clean-install-of-windows/a-clean-install-of-windows-8-1/windows-8-1-installation/
After installation of Windows you will need to install the system drivers (in the correct order):
http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/downloading-drivers-checking-hardware-ids-and-downloading-and-installing-dell-system-drivers-in-the-correct-order/driver-installation/
Installation of Dell Backup and Recovery will make a new recovery partition from the clean install.
You may then want to switch to a Microsoft Account.
You will then want to initialize the HDD and migrate the user directories to it:
