Migrate AD users / mailbox from child fomain to root domain

Hello,
We have 2003 forest 1 with 2 domains (A root one and B child one) with one exchange organisation (Exchange 2003/2010). All Exchange servers are on the domain root A.
The users/groups/computers in domain B are migrated to another forest AD.
Before removing the domain B we wonder the best way of keeping the mailbox and diffusion groups for the users of child domain.
1- We migrate users/groups to root domain and after that reconnect the mailbox to the migrated users account ?
2- What are the tools to be used for ?
3- is there any docs or links which talks about this ?
Thanks

Disable mailbox:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997210%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
Reconnect mailbox after moving
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123490%28v=exchg.141%29.aspx
use ADMT to move. Moving users within a forest, requires ADMT if the SIDs are important, which they usually
are. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc974332(v=ws.10).aspx
Thanks, MAS

Migrate the users, groups from essbase 7.1.6 to shared services

Hi
Our current production is essbase version 7.1.6 and we are planning to migrate to EPM 11.1.2 . We would like to move the security administration from Essbase to Shared Services (want to use Native Directory).
can somebody please suggest
1) An utility that Oracle provides with EPM 11.1.2 that helps to migrate the users and groups from 7.1.6 to shared services?
2) After bringing the users groups from 7.1.6 to 11.1.2, do we need to externalize these users and groups or no need?
Appreciate the help. Thanks,

if you have LDAP/MSAD try to configure it first .That will get your users
Now using maxl
spool on to GROUP.txt
display gruoup all;
spool on to USER.txt
display user in group all;
for test purpose create a test group and a test user from the shared services.
Now using GROUP.txt
make up maxl statements to create groups(use any advanced text editor or MS excel to get your work done fast)
create group 'groupname';
now login into that shared services
go to FOundation Application group->click sharedservices->drop down native directory ->Right click on Groups and select export for edit.THat will save you Groups.csv file.
Now
1.Open that Groups.csv file
2.Using USER,txt ,paste the users in that file under their respective group.(Look for test group created that should give you an idea!!!)
3.Paste user correctly and save it to the same file Groups.csv
4.go to FOundation Application group->click sharedservices->drop down native directory ->Right click on Groups and select IMPORT for edit.
5.that will get your users into the groups.
________filters_______
Using maxl again
spool on to FILTER.txt
display filter row all;
spool on to GRPRIVILEGE.txt
display privilege group all;
Now using FILTER.txt
create maxl statements
(use any advanced text editor or MS excel to get your work done fast)
Ex: create filter app.database.filtername read/write/none/metaread on 'AREA ' ;
Using GRPRIVILEGE.txt
create maxl statements
grant filter app.databse.filtername to 'groupname';
that should get your filters created and assigned.
else you can use Advanced Security Manger

hope that should give you an idea!!!!!!!

Migration problem: migration assistant won't migrate both user accounts from time machine backup

My Mac was formatted due to some technical issues. Before handing to the lab- I backed it up using time machine ( and only that ).
I had two user accounts on the Mac before handing it to the lab.
One of them I never actually used -I'll call it the secondary.
The second one was the main one - which I used all the time - the principal account. All my data is there on that account.
The Mac was formatted at the lab.
Using the setup assistant I migrated one user from the Time Machine Backup.
Only later I realized it was actually the account I never used.
Since I never used it - I couldn't remember the login password and had to reset it, took a while.
I then tried to to migrate the principal account - the one I actually wanted to migrate, in the fist place, during the setup procedure - using the migration assistant.
At the relevant window I tick the principal account- the mac does some thinking and then in the login window my only options are the secondary account and guest account, the principal account is not to be seen.
I'm really really stressed and worried.
BTW -when looking into the actual external disk used for the Time Machine at this path: computer name--> backups-->macintosh HD -->users--> principal account - I see all the folders and files with a 'no entry' icon next to them.
clicking on the folders - I get the following notice - 'the folder xxx can't be opened because you don't have permission to see the contents''
What's going on?
I'm running on a 2.9Ghz intel core i5
16GB RAM 1600MHz DDR3
SW version: 10.9.4
would appreciate any kind of help,
Thanks
Dana

thanks,
the thing is the Mac was behaving strangely - that's why I sent it to the lab in the first place.
This Mac is just over a year old but it's content was initially migrated from the older mac.
And it (the new Mac) wasn't working properly from the get go..
It took ages for it to start up and wouldn't start up if any external disk was attached (via USB).
I had to start it up and only then connect external disks.
In the lab - They couldn't find and HW issues.
So they formatted and reinstalled the OS - I think that's all they've sone in the lab
The idea was to start afresh and slowly reinstall softwares - only those necessary.
So, having said all that- does that change your answer?

HT4796 How do I migrate two user accounts from the PC and create the two new user accounts on the mac?

I am migrating from a PC to a new Mac. The PC has two user accounts. I want to migrate those two accounts from the PC to the Mac, keeping everything separate as it is on the PC. How can I do this?

When you have set up migration assistant on your pc, it gives you options on what you want to migrate. Chose one account and migrate it, then choose the other account, and do the same. Two accounts will automatically be set up on the Mac.

Trying to migrate Ultiboard user database from Ver 11 to 12

I updated my software to Ver 12, and noticed that my user database did not migrate. I then copied my ver 11 user db to the Ver 12 location and restarted Ultiboard. Upon invoking Ultiboard, I received a diagnostic stating that my user database was the wrong version and would not be useable. So how do I migrate my user database, and why wasn't this part of the update procedure in the first place?

Recreation of user mailbox from exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013

In my domain I was using Exchange 2007 earlier. I have installed Exchange 2013 successfully and running perfectly. I have one Issue:
1. A user's mailbox in Exchange 2007 was disabled from Exchange 2007 and recreated on Exchange 2013.
When a user try to send mail from outlook be it old one(2007) or new exchange(2013), gets NDR
If user send via owa it get delivered.
2. External mails are coming and user can send also like gmail or yahoo.
This is not an issue of cached address (outlook) I have checked this possibility.
Any luck

Hi,
From your description, OWA works well, the issue is related to Outlook side. In your case, I recommend you update the Address Book manually on Outlook and check the result. If the issue persists, you need to re-create the profile.
Hope this can be helpful to you.

CUA- Deleting user IDs from Child systems

Is there a possibility of configuring CUA in such a way that user IDs can be created and access can be updated from CUA but deleting user IDs should be taking place only in the child system (Not in all the child systems)?

Generally good advice to keep the uniqueness of UIDs over time, also after Elvis has left the building
What you could consider is a CUA RFC user which is not authorized to delete UID's and schedule a purge job for those IDOCs which deleted only them.
However these sorts of "workaround" solutions are not the best advise, to be honest. What happens it someone temporarily assigns SAP_ALL because there is a big problem and authorizations should be excluded as the cause to get it working again?
Also, every time a new child system is added to the CUA you will be flooded.
My advice: Rather change your procedure (as discribed by Jurgen).
What would be interesting to test is whether you are authorized to move a user (change the authorization relevevant group which they currently have) to a group which the CUA user is no long able to subsequently administrate? But theen you will still be hunting down IDOCs from time to time, most likely.
If your shop is big enough to have these systems you have described, then you might want to consider an IdM system to replace your CUA at some time.
If you wish, I will move this thread to the IdM forum.
Cheers,
Julius

Lightroom 6 doesn't migrate Export User Presets from LR5

Tonight I upgraded from LR5 to LR6 (standalone, not CC). My catalog migrated successfully and generally the library and develop modules seem to work fine. But when I go to export, all my User Presets are gone. Any advice on how I can recover my export user presets so that I don't have to manually recreate them all? I'm on a Late 2012 Mac Mini, 2.6/i7/16GB, OS X 10.9.5.

Thank you, that was the problem. They were checked as stored with catalog in LR5, but not in LR6. Once I clicked the checkbox in LR6, I found all my export user presets. Now I assume that if I subsequently uncheck that box, LR6 will create a unique file to house those presets? Does it matter if they are or are not in the catalog? I've got a decent grasp of LR's functionality, but wasn't aware of this and don't know if there are pluses or minuses with either approach...

SBS2008 - How to recover single user mailbox from backup?

Is it possible to recover the entire mailbox for a single user from backup? I have a user which deleted a subfolder from the Inbox which contained his most important e-mails for the past year, moved them to Deleted Items and of course delete it from there
too which was removed from the server.
Never done a recovery so I'm kind of pulling my hair on this and I don't want to restore the whole storage group.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Its tough if backups are not available. I agree with Larry.

Configuring Deleted Mailbox and Deleted Item Retention
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125266(EXCHG.80).aspx
"Deleted Mailbox Retention - Allows you to recover mailboxes after they were deleted. You must configure the Exchange server for deleted mailbox retention, and the mailbox recovery must occur during the retention period. In Exchange 2007, the
default retention period is 30 days. You can perform the actual recovery of the deleted mailbox by using either the Exchange Management Shell or the Exchange Management Console."

How can I migrate all users preferences from 1 user to another on same MAC

To get CS3 to work Adobe tech support had me create a new user account and install from there. Now the NEW account is the only account CS3 works in but all my settings, files, addresses, EVERYTHING are under the old account. Since it works on one account it's not their problem anymore. Is there ANYWAY to get all my old stuff from old account to new. I don't know where to begin, it's like I'm at a new computer. I can get to some of my files but can't save them back where they belong, grayed out.

Hi and a warm welcome to the forums!
I think we'd be better off figuring out how to install it for the other User, but...
Do a Get info on the Adobe Apps/Folders in Applications on the working User, report the 3 Rights/Privileges.

User Mailboxes Migration

Hi,
I have been reading section 2.5 of the Administration Guide. The options to migrate user mailboxes are as follow:
1. To Migrate User Mailboxes from One Messaging Server to Another While Online
2. To Move Mailboxes Using an IMAP client
3. To Move Mailboxes Using the moveuser Command
4. To Move Mailboxes Using the imsimport Command
It appears to me that all methods require both old and new mail server running during the migration. I just wonder how could both old and new mail server having a FQDN of "mail.example.com" run at the same time without problem? Or you simply turn off DNS and use only IP addresses.
Assuming you use a different name for the new and old mail server, how do I go about changing the name? For example, I can think of two cases.
1) Setup new mail server as mail.example.com
2) Change old mail server to old.example.com
3) Turn on new mail server
4) Perform migration
5) Shutdown old.example.com
-OR-
1) Setup new mail server as new.example.com
2) Perform migration
3) Shutdown old mail (mail.example.com)
4) Change new mail server to mail.example.com
Has anybody use method 3 in the above two cases? Is it the best way to migrate user mailboxes?
Thank you.

Hi,
I migrated a whole production setup successfully with folowing approach:
Assumptions
Both servers would use same hostname/IP/DNS names
there is no MX change
1. Installed the new server in a private network and connected this server to old throufg a cross cable with whatever IP/subnet
This resolves the IP conflict -- now both servers can have same IP same hostname and the old production can still be up and running
2. Dumped the ldif of users (both PAB and Usergroup from old server to new server ( db2ldif cmd with ldapmodify used )
Now the users of old server are there in the new server too -- but without mails --- and no mails transactions are happening to the new server
3. imsbackup/ imsrestore the actual mails through cross cable link
Now the new server has fully updated users as well as mails
4. Disconnect the old server and connect the new server to production network
I had a downtime for 20 min for migration of 5000 users.
Same process would follow for servers with diferent names -- but if domain names change --- you have to edit the ldif dumps first before importing --- that is simple with awk/sed/perl whatever u use
Thanks

Lion Up-To-Date upgrade
"The Mac OS X Lion Up-To-Date upgrade is available at no additional charge via the Mac App Store to all customers who purchased a qualifying new Mac system from Apple or an Apple Authorized Reseller on or after June 6, 2011. Users must request their Up-To-Date upgrade within 30 days of purchase of their Mac computer. Customers who purchase a qualifying Mac between June 6, 2011 and the date when Lion is available in the Mac App Store will have 30 days from Lion’s official release date to make a request." See below:
OS X Lion - Get up to date
Apple Stores may still be carrying inventory of the models that did not have Lion pre-installed, hence the above offer. Product that is ordered from the Online store should come with Lion pre-installed as will CTO (configure to order) models.
And, babowa reminds me that you could install Lion on a separate partition in order to keep Snow Leopard's installation. You can create a second partition using Disk Utility.
To resize the drive do the following:
1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
2. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
Once you have your Lion installer application you can create a bootable USB flash drive (8 GB size):
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.

Mailflow Problem After Migrating Mailbox From 2007 to 2013

I thought I was at the point of migrating our mailboxes from 2007 to 2013. I had created a new test mailbox on the 2013 server and changed all the DNS and virtual directories for the legacy on the 2007 server and was able to successfully send mail
to the test mailbox out and in both internally and externally. Then I migrated my first mailbox from 2007 to 2013 and things went south.
I CAN NOT:
Send e-mail from a mailbox on the 2007 server to the migrated mailbox on the 2013 server.
Send e-mail from migrated mailbox to external e-mail address.
I CAN:
Send e-mail from the migrated mailbox to a 2007 mailbox and the test mailbox on the 2013 server.
Send e-mail from the internet to the migrated mailbox and the 2013 test mailbox.
I unfortunately am running Exchange 2013 with CU6 (I am already aware of the activesync issue and delegation crash issue but saw the info too late).
Suggestions please!!

Hi,
Before going further, I'd like to ask the following questions to troubleshoot the issue:
1. Could you send email from 2007 mailbox to the test mailbox on 2013 server?
2. Did you get any NDR message when sending email to the migrated mailbox failed?
In addition, I recommend you try the following methods to find out the root cause:
1. Try to use message tracking tool in exchange 2007 server ,it will help us to find the email which was sent to the migrated mailbox .
2. Run the following command to check the permission groups of the receive connector:
Get-Receiveconnector |fl Name,PermissionGroups,Exchangeversion

How to migrate user preferences from BO XI R2 to BO XI 3.1

Is there any way we can migrate the user preferences from BO XI R2 SP4 (on Solaris UNIX) to BO XI 3.1 SP3 (on Solaris UNIX)?

Hi Anshuman,
You can migrate the user preferences using the Import Wizard.
There was an issue (ADAPT01447740) in XI3.1 covered by the following note:
1519979 - Infoview Preferences are not imported properly
So I would ensure that your 3.1 SP3 destination system is patched upto the version which includes that fix i.e. at least FP3.2.
I hope this is a very helpful answer to you.
Kind regards,
John

Move user Mailbox using EMC 2013

how can move a user Mailbox from one database to another database on the same Mailbox Server 2013 using the EMC. Have not been able to complete move with the ECP?

Hi Ronald,
I recommend you refer to the thread Jatin provided to do the migration in Exchange 2013 EAC. After the migration, you can use the Get-Mailbox bob1 | fl Name,ServerName,MailboxMove* cmdlet to verify the move status.
If the migration fails, please take your time to post the error information for my further research.
Hope this can be helpful to you.
