Migrate to DFSR - in MS Windows 2008 R2

hello,
We are trying to migrate to DFSR. I am following the step as per the guide
https://blogs.technet.com/b/qzaidi/archive/2012/01/16/quickly-explained-migrate-your-sysvol-replication-from-frs-to-dfsr.aspx
I get this error at both step 1 and 8:

Hi,
Before going further, what’s our domain function level? As stated in the blog you mentioned, to utilize DFSR to replicate Sysvol, our domain functional level must be Windows
Server 2008 or above.  Besides, we can go to check Event Viewer to see whether some related error events were logged and keep us posted.
Regarding Sysvol replication migration and how to troubleshoot it, the following article can be referred to for more information.

  • DB Migration to Windows 2008 64 bit

    Hi,
    We have our 10g PROD system running on windows 32-bit version. Is it possible to migrate that 10g DB to Windows 2008 64 bit version?
    If yes, export/import is the only procedure to do this or any way of handling is there?
    Could you please advise all the possibilites regarding this and would appreciate if you can suggest me any documents or note id's.
    Thanks,
    Rajesh

    Hello,
    Yes, with Export/Import you can transfer data even across different Plateform. So there's no
    problem to export from 32 bit database and import into 64 bit database.
    However, as you are in 10g, I suggest you to use DataPump (expdp / impdp) which is the new
    Export / Import utility and is more powerful.
    Else there're other methods to migrate database accross plateform.
    You can use RMAN (so as to CLONE and CONVERT your database) and Transportable Tablespace too.

  • Does Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 works fine on Windows 2008 64-bit R2 server?

    Hi,
    Currently, we use Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1 on Windows 2003 server.  We mainly use the Distiller to convert PDF files.
    If we migrate the 2003 server to Windows 2008 64-bit R2 server, does version 8.1 works fine?
    If not, which version support Windows 2008 64-bit R2 server?
    Appreciate to have a feedback.

    As long as you are looking to use it for local use only, and not as part of the server, I suspect it does work. AA X is the first that was certified for operation on Server 2008, but still only for local use. Any server use is a violation of the license. If you have Server 2008, why not just try it -- but be sure to abide with the license. Be sure to install the updates with the 64-bit system.

  • Does sysvol migration in windows 2008 R2 DC, requires any specific steps, if the AD Data are stored not in C drive of the server?

    With one of our client, the windows 2008 R2 Active directory data are stored on D drive of the PDC (NTDS DATA, NTDS Logs and SYSVOL) and on the other 2 Dcs, they are on different drives too.
    So my question when we do the sysvol migrations to DFS, do we have to add any specific command or script other than the usual migration commands?

    Hi Zac Kurian,
    As far as I know there don’t have issue when you migrate your SYSVOL which locate on others partition. If you worry about the DFSR health, you can enable the DFSR report then
    monitor the DFSR health status, otherwise, please confirm you have installed the DFS known issue hotfix on your server.

  • OS Migration from Solaris 10 to Windows Server 2008 R2 or higher

    Hi experts,
    We'd like to migrate the OS of our SAP systems to windows from Solaris 10. We're still wondering which version of Windows we'll use. (matter of money)
    Could you give me some docs, tips or advice to do that ? (requirements, how to do it, packages to install)
    I have checked berforehand that all the SAP solutions we're using are compatible with Windows Server 2008 R2 or higher.
    I heard I'd need an OS Migration Expert to do it, but still, before that I need to check if it's possible and a roadmap could also be nice.
    Thank you in advance,
    Best Regards.
    Alexiel.

    Hi Alex,
    From license perspective you need to procure license for Windows 2012 but for installation you can downgrade it to windows 2008 R2 as required.
    From suggestion perspective, it is always good to go with Windows 2012 to gain benefits from mainstream support and new features as compared to windows 2008 r2.
    As per SAP recommendation, it is good to have OS/DB certified consultant to perform the migration.

  • Migration of DNS from Windows 2008 R2 to Windows 2012

    Hello,
    We have a pair of Windows 2008 R2 servers running authoritative DNS services (they are not AD controllers, neither used as resolvers). There are ~20 domains + 10 DNSSEC domains hosted on those servers. We're considering to migrate them to Windows 2012
    servers and retain IP addresses.
    I'd greatly appreciate if somebody could advise the basic steps for such migration (particularly the DNSSEC part).
    Many thanks.

    Hi,
    It worked for me with a test zone but my example only had a single A record. You should test this first by adding the zone and testing resolution on the 2012 server before deleting it from the 2003 server.
    The bug for secondary zones that you describe in Server 2008 is news to me. However, 2012 and 2012 R2 has many advantages over 2008 R2 for DNSSEC signed zones so I would recommend you migrate even if you weren't having problems on 2008 R2.
    If you've been following the thread you mentioned above, you know that I've been doing a lot of testing with signed zones being updated on secondary servers. The signed zone is *always* updated on a secondary server but if the change on the primary was only
    a signature refresh then as of right now there is still a bug where the newest RRSIGs are not transferred to the secondary server. This happens because the zone transfer occurs just before the new RRSIG is generated on the primary. This causes it to be left
    behind on the primary server unless there is another zone transfer afterward. Note that a zone transfer still happens, it just happens too soon. The zone transfer that happens is an incremental zone transfer.
    If the previous RRSIG expires before another zone transfer occurs then the zone can have validation problems on the secondary. There is a hotfix for this that will be distributed soon. I am checking now on the date.
    If you increment the serial # on the primary, the secondary should get a full zone transfer.

  • Windows 2003 SP2 servers migrating from IIS 6.0 to IIS 7.5 without upgrading to Windows 2008 R2

    I have 3 Windows 2003 SP2 servers running IIS 6.0 and my client wants to upgrade to IIS 7.5 without having to upgrade the OS to Windows 2008 R2. Is this possible?
    Thanks

    No I'm afraid not. The full versions of IIS depend on the OS, so IIS6 on 2003, IIS7 on 2008, IIS7.5 on 2008 R2.
    The Express version of IIS can be installed on 2003 but that's for developers only so no use in your situation.
    Also worth nothing in terms of upgrading, unless your 2003 installation is 64-bit then you can only do an in place upgrade to 2008 IIS7. There's no 32-bit option with 2008 R2, and no way to do an in place upgrade between 32-bit and 64-bit, so if you really
    need to upgrade to IIS 7.5 then your only option would be to start with a new install and then migrate the websites from one server to another.

    Am wondering how can we migrate NON DC windows 2003/2003r2 to windows 2008/2008r2 ?
    Below links explains how to do migration or prerequisites but is anyone already done this project?

    regards,
    Dharanesh,

    Hello,
    if the installed software is checked to work with the new OS version you can use the installation disk from the new OS version, if the architecture(32bit or 64bit could be ONLY upgraded to the same) is the same, and do an in place upgrade.
    Also keep in mind that you have to check for drivers BEFORE starting.

  • OS Migration from Windows 2003 cluster  to Windows 2008 R2 MSCS

    We want to go for windows 2008 R2 server ( 64-Bit)  MSCS by migrating from windows 2003 Cluster ( 32- Bit) . We are running on ECC 6.0 and oracle 10.2.0.2 DB.
    Is it possible ?
    Is it traditional System copy if so how to migrate the cluster ?
    Regards

    > 2. If the oracle version is 10.2.0.2 then does it will support Windows 2008 R2.
    You need at least 10.2.0.4 (you need to install that version with a separate DVD, you can't install with the normal Oracle DVD (10.2.0.1). See
    Note 1303262 - Oracle on Windows Server 2008
    Be aware of the fact that the normal standard support for 10.2.x is ending at end of july (you'll have to pay an extra maintenance fee if you continue to run that version) - see
    Note 1110995 - Extended maintenance for Oracle Version 10.2
    So if you now do a system copy to new hardware with a new os anyway, I would upgrade to 11.2.

  • Domain migration of Oracle RAC nodes on windows 2008

    Hello masters,
    We are planning to migrate servers from old domain to a new domain due to company name change. That is, our DB servers named like db-node-x.old-domain.com will be migrated to db-node-x.new-domain.com. The servers are all on Windows 2008 R2 and Oracle RAC 11g2. As dba, i have no idea about what will happen to DBs. Please let me know any possible solutions?

    Deployed a 2 nodes Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Failover Cluster on a HyperV 2012 Server cluster deployed on IBM HS23 blade.
    Disk susbsystem is IBM Storwize V7000. MPIO driver installed plus IBM DDSM.
    Lun presented to the VM are connected with Virtual FC Adapter and everything works fine in the cluster until we start a live migration of the VM which hold the cluster disks online.
    After migration complete positively, at the moment the MPIO of the migrated VM goes crazy with a lot of errors (source: mpio eventID 16 ) and warnings (source: mpio EventID: 17) in the system event log. After that the disks becomes unavailable.
    Consequently everything hangs until power off the migrated vm, so the services on the cluster switchs on the second node.
    I try to set the registry key HKLM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Disk\TimeOutValue to 190 as i found on various articles but nothing seems to change....
    Any idea?

  • Migrating windows 2003 standard edition  to windows 2008 enterprise edition

    Hi
    We are using ECC 5.0 and our PRD system is running on windows 2003 standard edition,and recently we have got some physical memory problem.as windows 2003 standard edition supports only 4 GB of RAM. and we want to extend our RAM for that we are planning to upgrade os to windows 2008 enterprise edition,is that possible.and after upgrading OS what are the activities that need to be performed for SAP to run succesfully,kindly suggest.
    Regards
    Pranav

    Hi Markus
    I read note SAP Note 690432 - Windows 2003 Support in it regarding upgradation of os  windows 2003 standard edition to windows 2003 enterprise edition.
    Upgrade of Your Operating System
    If you upgrade an existing SAP system to Windows Server 2003 perform the
    following actions:
    o Install the latest R3DLLINS
    You find the latest dynamic link libraries R3DLLINS for Windows
    Server 2003 on the EXT-Kernel CD in the NTPATCH directory.
    o Replace the R/3 kernel with the EXT-Kernel.
    If you do not replace it you will get error "SICK" after the first
    logon attempt after the start.
    In this case, download the disp+work package(s) from the SAP
    Service Marketplace at service.sap.com/patches and unpack the
    patch(es) to directory usr\sap\exe:
    dw*_<patch-level>
    Use at least patch level 186.
    o Use the latest saposcol version.
    This version supports the changed performance counter of Windows
    Server 2003 to determine values for ST06 and RZ20.
    You can find the latest version in file saposcol_<Patch Level>.CAR.
    in the SAP Service Marketplace.
    o SAP DB only: See SAP Note 315237.o Compatibility of the Hardware with Windows Server 2003
    You can perform the upgrade to Windows Server 2003 only if the
    hardware has been explicitly released for this purpose. To check,
    do one of the following:
    - If the Windows Server 2003 CD is available, check compatibility
    with WINNT32.EXE in the \I386 directory. The exact statement
    is: <DRIVE:>\I386\WINNT32 /CHECKUPGRADEONLY. The result is
    stored as text file WINNT32.LOC in the present Windows
    directory (e.g. C:\WINNT).
    - The hardware has successfully passed SAP hardware certification
    (http://www.addon.de).
    - The hardware is contained in the Microsoft Hardware
    Compatibility List (http://www.microsoft.com/hcl).
    - The hardware has been released for Windows Server 2003 by the
    manufacturer. This information is published on the
    corresponding website.
    o Kerberos Single Sign-On
    When the SAP system is installed on Windows Server 2003 you can
    setup the Kerberos Single Sign-On. If you use the kerberos protocol
    the information exchanged between the SAP frontend and the
    application server for authentication is encrypted.
    The procedure for setting up Single Sign-On is described in all
    recent installation guides which you can download from the SAP
    Service Marketplace at: service.sap.com/instguides.
    o SAP domain under Windows Server 2003
    Follow the instructions of the Windows documentation for the
    migration of a Windows NT 4 domain to Windows 2003. For the SAP
    environment some additional points need to be observed.
    For Windows NT 4 there are two models for the SAP system domain:
    - Single domain
    All users and the SAP system build one single domain. This
    domain can be migrated to Windows Server 2003 and exist there
    as single domain.
    - Additional domain
    There is one domain for the users and a second domain for the
    SAP system(s). For a migration to Windows Server 2003 the SAP
    system domain has to be created as child domain under the user
    domain. A "Top-down" procedure is to be used. The higher domain
    (the user domain) must be migrated prior to the SAP child
    domain. If the user and SAP domain is part of a larger domain
    structure the complete domain structure for Windows Server 2003
    needs to be planned in a preparing phase. Usually, the
    structure created under Windows NT 4 has to be re-arranged and
    consolidated.
    The name space of the root domain and all sub-ordinated domains
    has to be defined and the distribution of the DNS services
    needs to be determined.
    Note the following:
    The SAP domain has to be created as child domain.
    The SAP domain must not be converted into an organizational
    unit (OU). OUs are not supported by R3SETUP and R3up.
    in it nowhere it is mentioned about system copy so plz suggest.

  • Cross forest Windows 2008 to Windows 2012 R2 migration... no ADMT?

    I was planning on using ADMT to migrate the users and PCs from an existing Windows 2008 domain to a Windows 2012 R2 domain but I just read that ADMT is not supported on Windows 2012 R2.
    Are there any other suggestions on a migration tool to use?
    Kind regards,
    /RW/

    ADMT can still be the way to go - there's a nice blog post here documenting the operation and the BIG consideration with the approach: http://c-nergy.be/blog/?p=3970. 
    Basically as long as you haven't activated any of the new features found in 2012/2012R2 functional levels, you can temporarily downgrade the forest and domain functional levels so that the system requirements for ADMT can be achieved (a 2008R2 DC in the
    target domain for the PES component of ADMT 3.2). A detailed list of features is documented
    here. When the migration is done, the functional levels can be set again to their original values.
    Complete details about lowering / raising the forest and domain functional levels are here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/850.how-to-revert-back-or-lower-the-active-directory-forest-and-domain-functional-levels-in-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx
    The technet pages for the cmdlets referenced in the article point to old versions; the new ones are as follows -
    Set-ADForestMode and
    Set-ADDomainMode.
    Last and not least,
    an upgraded version of ADMT has been announced and should be out soon. If the migration can be postponed for a while, this should take care of the downsides of the previously described method.

Maybe you are looking for
