Migrate from Standard 2003 domain with seperate Exchange 2003 to SBS 2011 - possible? how-to?

Hi there,
I am currently planning on replacing two servers (one server 2003 standard (DC) and one server 2003 standard with exchange 2003) with a single machine running SBS 2011.
I already did several migrations SBS 2003 to SBS 2011, SBS 2008 to SBS 2011 - and I am wondering if the same can be done from 2003 Standard with separate exchange server 2003 to a single SBS 2011. Technically I can see no reason why this shouldn't work -
but so far I have been unsuccessful in finding guidelines or at least some success-stories from other users.
Did anyone do something like that? Any caveats I have to be aware of? Or is it supposed to be flawless as the SBS to SBS migrations I did so far?

Hi,
From the problem description, I understand that you would like to migrate Exchange server 2003 on Windows Server 2003 to SBS 2011.
At first, I would like to clarify one thing. Microsoft doesn’t have the official documentation towards this scenario. And Microsoft doesn’t
recommend dealing with that.
I noticed that there are two servers in your organization. One is Windows server 2003 for DC; the other one is Exchange server 2003. So it can’t
be the same as the documentation (Migrate to Windows Small Business Server 2011 Standard from Windows Small Business Server
2003).
I got your key point that you would like to know the detailed procedures (HOW TO). I suggest that you could visit the
SBSmigration.com to get further information you need. Since it’s not the Microsoft official method,
please do the test before your put it into your production environment.
Regards,
James

I have a macbook 2.1 with osx10.6.8 and want to wipe it clean and migrate from my macbook pro with the same osx..is it possible to do?

I have an older macbook 2.1 intel OSX 10.6.8 that I want to wipe clean and then migrate from my macbbok pro with OSX10.6.8 to the older macbook, is it possible ,how would I do it..especially how do I wipe clean the older macbook?

Connecting to a TV is no different than connecting to any other external display. It's possible that there's a problem with the mini dvi port on the macbook r that you have bad adapters. You might try resetting the SMC Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) - Apple Support
Does the Macbook recognize that there's an external display connected when you look at the Display preference pane?

Can I purchase and turn on iTunes match from my iPhone 5 with out a computer? And if so how?

Can I purchase and turn on iTunes Match from my iPhone 5 with out a computer? And if so how?

You can't do it from your phone. If they are iTunes purchased songs then you should be able to copy them to your laptop via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources, anf i you haven't got them on your backup of your library, then you will need a third-party program on your computer to copy them back - there are some listed half-way down this page which might work : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
You might also find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

Installing a Windows 2012 Domain Controller into a 2000/2003 domain with Exchange 2003

Hello,
    I have a client that we are planning to migrate to 2012 over time. They currently have a Windows 200 DC and 2 member servers running Windows 2003, one of which is running Exchange 2003.
    We first are going to introduce a 2012 server into the domain and my plan was to DCPromo the 2003 server that isn't running Exchange and raise domain level to 2003 and then demote the 2000 server. I was then going to install the
2012 server into the domain and make it a backup Domain Controller for the time being and leave the newly promoted Windows 2003 server as the primary Domain Controller with all the roles and global catalog. My question is will Exchange 2003 still function
normally in this scenario?
   I've been doing research and read some things about Exchange 2003 not working with 2012 Domain Controllers, but I was thinking if the 2003 is still the primary, it might work. We will eventually migrate to 2003, they just don't want to
do it all at once, due to costs and other issues.
Thanks.

I didn't ask if it was supported, I just wanted to know if Exchange 2003 would continue
to function if the Windows 2003 DC still held all the FSMO roles and Global Catalog.
A not supported situation means that it is a situation where Microsoft made no testing or do not guarantee that you can operate with no problems. Following a not supported scenario could be done but is on your own risk.
If it won't, can the 2012 server be a member server in the 2003 AD? The 2000
DC it is replacing, just shares files on the network in addition to being the lone AD server
Yes, it can be a member server.

Adding a new FFL 2012 trusted domain to a Exchange 2007 domain with a FFL 2003 domain

My organization has decided to create a new forrest and domain. We will be creating a two way trust between the current 2003 forrest & domain and the new 2012 forrest & domain. For now, only a few of our users will
log into the new domain, but we still want them to be able to access their email in the 2003 domain and have their emails come from the 2003 domain. There are no Exchange servers in the new domain, users will just authenticate to the
new domain.
Besides creating the accepted domain policy and new email policy, is there anything else that will be required?
Thanks in advance
MikeV
Thanks, MikeV MCSE 2012

In Exchange 2003 there is no "accepted domain policy" or "email policy", just recipient policy. And you only need to do that if you're adding a new e-mail domain. Further, in many cases you can probably just modify the existing policy.
A one-way trust with the server domain trusting the account domain is all that should be necessary. You will have to grant full mailbox rights and send as rights on each mailbox to the corresponding user account.
Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."
We added the trust, but Exchange doesn't see the new domain. I've tried both the EMC and powershell (add-mailboxpermission useralias -user"newdomain\alias" accessrights-fullaccess) error says "user or group not found please make sure you
have typed it correctly"
What else needs to be done for Exchange to see the new domain and users?

IPhone conflict with MS Exchange 2003 set up for Blackberries?

My business uses MS Exchange 2003 and it is set up to push e-mail for Blackberries. Some of the employees have gotten iPhones, one with the new 3Gs. They tell me that it is easy to link their phones to the server for email and calenders. My tech people say, no:
1. No VPN access from Iphone to network
2. Might be able to get the phone to sync, but only when connected to a PC that is connected to the network, using activesync software.
3. There is no way to get mail to the phone when offsite. (unless we send all corporate mail to an outside provider)
4. Solutions to support MAC gear will require another box (server/pc) that is configured as a gateway… testing and config… not quite sure how long it would take, or what licensing/requirements.
Who is right?

There is a way and it's very nice, took me a few days to get it right. with my method you will be able to u use your webmail just like it's active sync.. I'm not a good explainer but I'll give it a shot!
Go to your web mail service on a pc and log in, in your browser it says something like webmail.(companyname).com...ok now that u got that , on your iPhone make a new exchange account with the following info ^ > put the above webmail.com under the server field , now the rest of the fields have to be exactly right for this to work under email: your company email address, domain: blank , then for user name and password enter just like u would if u were signing in on safari... Boom it's that easy!

IPhone 3Gs won't sync with my Exchange 2003 account. How can it be done??

I'm a school teacher for a charter school. I check my emails at home from:
http://mail.starsmiddleschool.org/exchange/
When I arrive at that page, I type in my username and password.
It is an Exchange 2003 server.
I just got a new IPhone 3Gs with AT&T. (I also have a Macbook 2,1 laptop with Snow Leopard updated and installed).
I have looked online for days and days for suggestions, but nothing's worked. My administration isn't too helpful on this matter.
I can go to the website listed above and check my emails from school, but I cannot set-up the account on my IPhone.
I have tried entering my information over and over again....PLEASE HELP!
Thank you for taking time to read this and offer any helpful advice!!!

Okay...I checked with my school administration about the Exchange Account, and it is set-up for mobile devices to receive their emails via cell phones.
Still, it keeps "Failing" at connecting.
I need to type in my:
---> I click add account---> then I click on Microsoft Exchange---> then begin filling out the information as should below:
Email: [email protected]
Domain: (do i type in ".org" here????)
Username: my username
Password: my password
Description: School Emails
Server: (do i type "mail.starsmiddleschool.org/exchange" ????)
Thanks for your help!!!

Some clients migrated from 2007 is presented with the self signed certificate in 2013

I have migrated from 2007 to 2013. I did a couple of test migrations and on the ones with domain member computers Outlook is giving a certificate warning. The certificate they are presented with is the default self signed certificate on the 2013 server.
Even though I have added a trusted public certificate to Exchange and checked of to use With IIS.
I see that the default certificate is also checked of to use With IIS and it cant be removed in ECS. Shouldnt this be removed from IIS all together when adding a New certificate? And why does some Clients gets presented With the self signed and some With
the Public? For instance owa is presented With the Public cert. Also and Outlook I tested from outside the domain.
Regards

Only the UCC certificate should be bound to IIS.
Are any clients using POP or IMAP, which also use SMTP? In this case clients can be presented with the "wrong" certificate as well.

Can I add a WinServer 2012 into a mix child Domain with 2008 and 2003?

The founctionall level is 2003 and the main domain is mix with 2008 and 2003. The user need the templete of Server 2012 and use the "new" group policy so that they are able to use the "new" feature in windows 8 (which I totally
do Not think is much useful). I've a plan that join the 2012 server into a child domain as a DC but I don't know if that will cause any problems. Can I do so?
Thanks all.

@Darren: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj592683.aspx
For Windows 8 a change to how the TPM owner authorization value is stored in AD DS was implemented in the AD DS schema. The TPM owner authorization value is now stored in a separate object which is linked to the Computer object. This value was stored as
a property in the Computer object itself for the default Windows Server 2008 R2 schemas.
To take advantage of this integration, you must upgrade your domain controllers to Windows Server 2012 or extend the Active Directory schema and configure BitLocker-specific Group Policy objects.
Windows Server 2012 domain controllers have the default schema to backup TPM owner authorization information in the separate object. If you are not upgrading your domain controller to Windows Server 2012 you need to extend the schema to support this change.
To support Windows 8 computers that are managed by a Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2008 domain controller
There are two schema extensions that you can copy down and add to your AD DS schema:
TpmSchemaExtension.ldf
This schema extension brings parity with the Windows Server 2012 schema. With this change, the TPM owner authorization information is stored in a separate TPM object linked to the corresponding computer object. Only the Computer object that has created
the TPM object can update it. This means that any subsequent updates to the TPM objects will not succeed in dual boot scenarios or scenarios where the computer is reimaged resulting in a new AD computer object being created. To support such scenarios, an update
to the schema was created.
TpmSchemaExtensionACLChanges.ldf
This schema update modifies the ACLs on the TPM object to be less restrictive so that any subsequent operating system which takes ownership of the computer object can update the owner authorization value in AD DS. However, this is less secure as any computer
in the domain can now update the OwnerAuth of the TPM object (although it cannot read the OwnerAuth) and DOS attacks can be made from within the enterprise. The recommended mitigation in such a scenario is to do regular backup of TPM objects and enable auditing
to track changes for these objects.
To download the schema extensions, see Schema Extensions for Windows Server 2008 R2 to support AD DS backup of TPM information from
Windows 8 clients.
If you have a Windows Server 2012 domain controller in your environment, the schema extensions are already in place and do not need to be updated.
Also, if you check the GPO's in 2012, there are specific templates for Windows8/2012 and specific (legacy) templates for Windows 7.

Migration win2008r2 to new domain with ISCSI NAS

Hello
I need to move entire server from abc.com domain to zyz.com domain, but the server has an attached iscsi nas (maybe is a qnap).
the permission were done with windows not the nas GUI. I worries would be the permission being removed.
I will be using quest migration tool but still not feeling great about it.
what are my changes of losing permission or maybe needing to do the iscsi under windows.?
thank you

Hello,
this require the change to the other new forest with ADMT, free from Microsoft or other migration tools.
If the users, machines etc. are migrated and the trust is still available you can use robocopy for the data to migrate to the other domain.

Lync 2013 installation on 2003 domain with 32bit DC

I am currently installing Lync 2013 into a 2003 domain. I only have 32bit DC so i am wondering if the AD Prep will work with the Lync install on server 2012?

Hi,
You can deploy Lync Server 2010 in a forest or domain where domain controllers run 32-bit versions of some operating systems (for details, see Active Directory Infrastructure Requirements). However, you cannot use the Lync Server Deployment Wizard to run
schema, forest, and domain preparation in these environments because the Deployment Wizard and supporting files are 64-bit only. Instead, you can use ldifde.exe and the associated .ldf files on a 32-bit domain controller to prepare the schema, forest and domain.
