Migrate 2012 SP1 CU3 Primary Server to a new machine?

Because of some issues I am having with my current primary site server, I would like to bring up a new server and decommission the old.
The old server is running on 2008 R2 and the new server will run on 2012 R2.
Right now, I have two servers running CM 2012 SP1 CU3. I plan to upgrade the entire hierarchy to 2012 R2 before I decommission the old server.
Primary Site Server Site System Roles – Distribution Point, Endpoint Protection Point, Management Point, Reporting Services Point, Site Server, Site System
Second Server Roles – Application Catalog, Distribution Point, Fallback Status Point, Management Point, Site System, Software Update Point, State Migration Point
Can someone please help me understand the process that I should follow to make this successful?
1 - Bring up the new server
2 - Configure all settings on the new server
3 – Install Site System Roles on the new server
4 – Add SMS Provider to the new server
5 – Uninstall Site Server Roles from old server
What am I not thinking about?
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks for any help

Hi,
For the Second Server with roles that could be an option to install a new server, and move the roles to that server.
For the Primary Site server there is no possibiltity to setup a new Primary Site server and transfer the role to that server as you can with the other roles. The way to do that would be to do a backup of Configuration Manager on the Server running 2008
r2 and restore it on the server running Server 2012 r2 as an inplace OS upgrade is not supported on a primary site server either.
You haven't mentioned where you SQL server is located either if it is local or remote.
If you have issued you could also install a new Primary Site and Migrate the objects from the old Primary Site and then reassign the clients to the new site.

Jörgen

I have this on my primary and secondary servers as well.
Is upgrading to R2 recommended and will that solve this issue ?
When googling to this issue i found that there is a solution for this: remove MP, upgrade Client, install MP.
But this is my primary and secondary and on secondary i am not allowed to remove the MP. It is hardcoded enabled.

Try the following steps to specify the hotfix when installing the client.
1. Open an elevated command prompt.
2. Run a command line similar to the following – if CU3 has already been installed, the MSP file below should be on the site server, in the
\\servername\SMS_SITE\Client\hotfix folder:
\ccmsetup.exe PATCH=\Configmgr2012ac-sp1-kb2882125-x64.msp

Part of a migration project from SCCM 2007 to 2012 SP1 CU3 - Updates no longer working and reporting not correct

Been working on a migration from 2007 sp1 to 2012 sp1 cu3. I first installed directly to sp1 but realized we had a few 8.1 clients being built so I added the cu3 mid-stream. I moved over two small subnets and pushed out some clients.
I was able to push out updates from the 2012 server for OS realted updates to a collection. After CU3 I tried to do the same process with Office 2013 updates and it just seems to sit there with the enforcement state showing unknown in the report.
Also I checked the version of client on the machines and they have the CU3 version but when I run a report to show client versions it does not show these machines with the latest version but version for sp1. It's almost like my management point
is not working. (just guessing). I checked in the component status and everything is showing green. I tried a wbemtest on one of the clients in the collection for the targeted updates and that is coming back with acceptable results.
Not sure where to look next.
I am not real proficient in 2012 yet and still bumping my way along. Any help reviewing specific logs, etc. would be appreciated. I have been searching for a solotion for several days now.

Hi,
1.Please make sure the update deployment is show up on the Deployment tab(Assets and Compliance -> Overview -> Devices -> the specific client properties)
2.Check PolicyAgent.log on the client to see whether the specific client have received the deployment policy. If not, try to run the Actions about software updates on the Configuration Manager Properties from the client.
3.Examine UpdatesDeployment.log, UpdatesHandler.log. UpdatesStore.log on the client.

Configuration Manager 2012 RTM Migration to SP1 CU3 or R2

Dear Pros,
I am planning to upgrade my current site (2012 RTM) to either SP1 CU3 or if possible to R2.
My Questions are :
i) Can I upgrate my Current site directly to 2012 SP1 CU3 or do i need to upgrade to SP1 -> SP1 CU1 - >SP1 CU2 -> SP1 CU3.
We are starting to have some Windows 8.1 clients and Server 2012 R2 on our network. Thus the requirement for SCCM to support those OSes.
ii) Is it possible to upgrade from 2012 RTM to R2 Directly or do i need to hop from SP1 to R2
Kind Regards,
Mathieu

Office 2013 Professional Plus - 32 bit Deployment takes an unacceptable time to deploy in SCCM 2012 - SP1 CU3

We recently migrated over to SCCM 2012 SP1 - CU3 the first of the year from SCCM 2007 SP2. We have used SCCM in the past to deploy Office 2010 and had deployed Office 2013 to our IT Dept. before moving over to SCCM 2012. The deployment went as
expected. Now that we are ready to start deploying Office 2013 to our corporate workstations, the deployment time is running 4.5 hours to 5.5 hours from the local site server DP. I am afraid to find out what time we are looking at for remote DP's.
The three factors that are different is that our SCCM site server is virtual, it is running 2012 for the OS, and obviously SCCM 2012-SP1 - CU3. We are using the same package source files. Previous to a successful deployment we were
seeing hash mismatch errors which MS support pointed us to the nic driver on the VM was using E1000E and to change it to a VMX something driver.
So I guess my question is anyone else out there deploying Office 2013 ProPlus - 32 bit from this type of environment? Our previous deployment time for office was a little over an hour (not five hours). Any suggestions where to look to improve
the deployment time?
I am expected to deploy this in one week and have been working on these issues for weeks.

I see now that you are using a combination of scripts and ConfigMgr package/program.
The AppEnforce.log file is for use with the new ConfigMgr Application model.
Is there any reason that you don't use the new model for deploying Office 2013? It's a single step process and perfect for it. If you use the Office Customisation Tool you can customise what you like. The process will then uninstall Office 2010 and install
Office 2013.
This is how you do it

Service Manager 2012R2 - Hotfix for Service Manager 2012 SP1 secondary Management server

Can the hotfix for the issue described here -
http://blogs.technet.com/b/servicemanager/archive/2013/04/22/service-manager-2012-sp1-secondary-management-server-cannot-set-availability-on-a-health-service-that-doesn-t-exist.aspx
, be applied to a 2012R2 Service Manager environment?
My dilemma; In a Service Manager 2012 SP1 environment, I installed a secondary mgmt server, promoted it, then upgraded to R2. This R2 Primary mgmt server has the error described in the TechNet blog.
The reason this was done, the original primary mgmt server (2012 SP1) resided on the same server as the Portal. This original primary is still at 2012 SP1 with the System Center services disabled.
Again, can the hotfix for Service Manager 2012 SP1 secondary mgmt servers be applied to a Primary mgmt server (or environment, however the hotfix is run) server Service Manager 2012 R2?
Thank you,

Hi,
Hmm, you should probably log a case for this, but my first thought here would be to install a new SCSM 2012 R2 server and promote that one to the new Primary server, then remove the old ones.

SCCM 2012 Sp1 CU3 support Windows 2012 R2 deployment?

Hi,
Sorry for so basic question, but I have read few docuemnts, blogs and official materials and I'm a bit confused.
In our organization we have SCCM Sp1 CU3. We are planning create and next deploy Windows 2012R2 Server images. On some documentations there is CU3 supports only application managment, inventory and so on. but there is nothing about image deployment.
So, my question is - I have to upgrade SCCM 2012 Sp1 CU3 to SCCM2012R2 to capture, build and deploy Windows 2012R2 system?
Thank you.

Yes, you do. See what's new with ConfigMgr 2012 R2

New SCCM 2012 client machines still getting SCCM 2012 SP1 client not the new SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3 client

Hi,
I've successfully (as far as I can tell) deployed SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3 and all my existing clients are showing a client version of 5.00.7804.1400. But when I setup a new client system recently I noticed that the client version was showing 5.00.7804.1000,
and not 5.00.7804.1400.
For new client systems, do I need to redeploy the packages that were created for SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3 so that the new systems get the new SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3 client?
Thanks,
Nick

Hi,

I haven't followed these instructions myself, since I haven't really had any good reason to include CUs during the initial installation process. I use this method instead and I've never run into any problems:

SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3 - Client Install on SiteServer (PrimarySite)

We have an issue with SCCM 2012 Client deployment on our primary site all other clients are installing correctly the error is attached.
I have tried various ways to install client push even tried the SP1 Client using ccmsetup /source and this also fails at the same point.
I have done self service google and discovered this

Anyone any ideas????

Not found
Source: Windows Management (WMI)
Also, 1603 is a MSI exit code meaning fatal error occurred.
Have you verified you are running the SP1 sccm client and not RTM on the machine is question?

Thanks, we have checked the error codes.
We have tested the client install onto the primary server in three different sites, on different networks/labs/environments with the same result.
Yes we have verified we are running SP1 CU3 and that the client files are the correct versions.
To eliminate the probable cause of CU3 updates being at fault, we have obtained the Client folder from the SP1 ISO (the later released updated SP1 ISO), with the exact same error.

Migrating from an OLD G4 Server to a new G5 Server

I have been running Server 10.5.8 on my G4 without a problem for the last year. Now we are upgrading to a new G5 server and was wondering how can I migrate the email accounts from my users.
I know that I have to export all my OD users and import them back in the new machine, setup the DNS (or can I copy these settings?) among other things.
This is our email server using IMAP and I just dont want to lose all my users emails. Is there an easy way of doing it?
TIA!

I did this from xServe G4 -> G5 Mac Pro -> xServe Intel a while back when our G4 died - while we don't run email on it, we do have OD Master, iCal, Wiki etc, and operate in "Simple" mode.
Each time I booted the "old" machine off the 10.5 DVD, and did a disk copy (image restore?) from disk to External drive, then did same on new machine and restored from External drive to server. The last time I did it (to Intel xServe) I had no authentication (corrupt LDAP I think) but an OD restore from a recent OD archive got that back up and running.
Considering it was 3 transitions from old to latest technology, I was pretty impressed it went so smooth...

Using Setup Assistant to migrate a 10.4.11 server to a new SL server, and have login panel before hardly anything has happened

We have a 10.4.11 server, running on an antique 1.0GHz G4 Xserve. We have purchased a mac mini server to replace it. The Xserve only runs 3 services: AFP, FTP and Open Directory (Master). (We are considering reconfiguring the new server as an Open Directory replicate to another OD master on the network later.)
I've RAIDed the two disks on the mini and reinstalled the OS. It restarted, went through the language setup, put in the serial number, etc., and got to the "Transfer the information from an existing server" choice. At that point, went and made a SuperDuper dmg of the 10.4.11 on a firewire drive. When that was done, moved the firewire drive to the mini server, it appeared in the box as a choice for migrating from, selected it, and hit "continue." It went through a couple of automatic screens with progress bars -- but it only took maybe 3-5 minutes, and then the machine rebooted. It took nowhere NEAR long enough to have copied the data over -- the clone took nearly 3 hours to create, and it's running through a firewire 400.
So now the machine is sitting there, with the login panel up. The firewire drive with the Xserve's image on it is still plugged in, and the blue light on the front of the drive is flashing like crazy. What the heck? I can't imagine that I should be logging in to the new server if it is in the middle of transferring data over! Is it copying data? If yes, how am I going to know when it's done? If not, what the heck is it doing and what do I have to do to get it to copy the data over?

Called Apple. They said, "Oh, yeah, Setup Assistant doesn't actually work from 10.4 to 10.6" (So WHY don't they fix it? Why don't they take the manual off of the web site?)
Moved on to Plan B. Hooked the firewire drive to a G5 mac. Stuck the 10.5 server disk into the G5, and upgraded the firwire drive to 10.5 server. Booted off of it, changed the IP address and name, upgraded to 10.5.8, tested that our applications all worked. Then hooked the firewire drive back up to the mini, ran through the 10.6 server initialization, and at the end selected the firewire drive as the "source" for “Transfer the information from an existing server”. It went through the same as it did when it was at 10.4 -- did a few quick things and then rebooted and none of the data had transferred.
Now we are at Plan C. Booted the mini off of the server install disk, and tried to upgrade the firewire drive to 10.6. Told us we can't because it needs to be GUID. After saying a few appropriate obscenities, got another firewire drive, formatted it GUID and are now doing a copy from the upgraded-to-10.5 firewire drive to the formatted-GUID drive.
Plan D is to upgrade the new drive to 10.6 server, try to boot the mini off of it, and if it works, use DiskUtility to copy it to the mini's internal RAID.

How to access Hyper-V Client from Hyper-V Server to the new machines?

Hi Meer,
In addition , you need to use external virtual switch for these VMs that are used for RDP connection from clients .
Please refer to the article below for virtual network configuration :

Time Machine, Migration Assistant, and copying specific files to a new machine

Things were running fine. Then repeating kernel panics! A fresh Mountain Lion install seemed to fix things. To test whether the panics were related to some application or preference, how can I restore only my data, specifically the Aperture library, iTunes library, and iMovie library and nothing else from my Time Machine backup? In other words, how can I see the file structure of the Time Machine backup so I can copy only specific files and folders?
Thanks for any advice!

Hey hp12c,
Thanks for the question. The following article may provide the information you are looking for:
Mac Basics: Time Machine
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
Restoring specific files or folders
Choose Enter Time Machine from the Time Machine menu and the restore interface appears. You can literally see your windows as they appeared "back in time."
You can use the timeline on the right side of the window to reach a certain point back in time (the timeline shows the times of all backups on your backup drive). If you don’t know exactly when you deleted or changed a file, you can use the back arrow to let Time Machine automatically travel through time to show you when that folder last changed.
Note: Dates in pink indicate the data resides on your Time Machine backup device. Dates in white indicate the data resides on your Mac. In OS X Mountain Lion and Lion, portable Macs have the feature of local snapshots. See this article for details.
You can also perform a Spotlight search in the Time Machine Finder Window search field to find a file. Simply type the Spotlight search field and use the back arrow to have Time Machine search through your backups to find what you are looking for.
Before you restore a file, you can also use Quick Look to preview a file to make sure its the one you want. Highlight the file and press the Space Bar to bring up a quick look.
To restore, select the file/folder and click the "Restore" button. The file will automatically be copied to the desktop or appropriate folder. If the file you are restoring has another file in the same location with the same name, you will be prompted to choose which file to keep or keep both.
Thanks,
Matt M.

How SCOM Agent will get degraded which is installed on the monitored server while reverting Back from CU6 to CU3 of SCOM 2012 SP1?

Hi,
I have SCOM 2012 SP1 (CU3) inatalled on base server 2012 Standard which is a VM.
Now I am planning to Go for CU6 and thinking to take snapshot of complete SCOM server instead of taking Data Base Backup. Which should I prefer?
If i am going for the Snapshot for complete SCOM server and run the CU6 complete setup. And some thing went wrong and not able to fix the issue.
And I need to reverted back to CU3 using Snspshot.
Now, how can I revert the Agent Version to CU3 level which is already upgraded to CU6?
Thanks
Amit Raj

Hi,
all agents with CU6 will be work fine with SCOM CU6.
But if you decide back to the CU3 you need to backup your OPsDB and DWH (if CU6 contains sql scripts).
In regard agents you can use repair from OPsMGR console.
