Migrating DC's from Server 2003 to Server 2008 Enterprise R2

I am in the process of testing a migration of our DC's to 2008 R2.
I've read countless articles, step by steps, etc, but am still having trouble deciding the best way to figure this thing out. Hoping that someone can give me some pointers on what might be the best way to do this. It should be fairly straightforward but
I am just unsure of how the fact that the two DC's being on different networks & the DFS will play in to things.
I currently have
(1) PDC residing in a colo (172.16.36.x) Server 2003
(1) Mail server residing in a colo (172.16.36.x) Server 2008
(1) DC residing in our office (172.16.35.x) Server 2003
These 2 different networks are connected by VPN from our office to the colo.
The DC in the office is running DHCP and DNS. It also acts as the File Server. The data is then being replicated using DFS from the office DC to the colo PDC.
We have purchased 2 new servers (physical) to replace the DC and PDC and also am installing Server 2008 R2.
From what I've gathered, I should join these new machines to the domain and begin migrating.
Step 1: Install Active Directory on new Servers, Install/Migrate DNS?
Step 2: Transfer Roles (Looking for recommendation as to which DC acts for which Role also, or should the PDC hold all roles?)
Step 3: Migrate files/shares and set up DFSR?
If anyone can offer some advice on how to make this as simple as possible I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks for the link. I've been able to successfully migrate almost everything over, just had a few questions about DFSR.
This is the scenario:
Server A (old file server, located in office)
Server B (old file server, located in colo)
Server C (new file server, located in office)
Sever D (new file server, located in office)
I have 2 servers currently. Both running Server 2003 (DFS) acting as file servers. Server A is the preferred connection when using DFS, so typically any changes from users will be made on Server A and then replicated to Server B. I've tested the File
Server Migration Toolkit to migrate files/shares over from server B to Server D, it seems to work fine. Now, I am not sure what the best way to migrate everything would be.
This was my thought process but I am not certain this is the best way/or will work as intended.
Use FSMT to copy all shares from Server A to Server C.
Plan for short downtime to copy all open files from Server A to Server C.
Map users to shares on Server C.
Begin replication from Server C to Server D. When complete map users to DFSR link.
Then take Server A and B offline.
Something I wasn't sure about is maybe using FMST to migrate things from Server B to Server D. Would it then compare to Server C through DFSR or does this replication have to occur "naturally"?
Something else I am a little confused about is when does DFSR start being used? Do the old servers have to be offline first?

Migration from SBS 2003 to Server 2008

Couple things. First, I wouldn't bother with 2008 at this point. Here's a pretty handy guide for 2012R2.

Second, I'd switch them over to hosted Exchange.
Did you spec your server already?

Hi guys,Very new to dealing with servers too much so please excuse any lack of info/dumb questions!I have been tasked to do a server migration for a small business. The details I know thus far (more to follow soon) are:There is currently only one server. It is running SBS 2003. It functions as a domain controller, and provides AD, DNS, exchange, DHCP and file sharing services. It is a physical server (Dell I believe). They want to move to another physical server running Windows Server 2008.There are around 15 users/terminals.There is a VLAN set up, not sure how yet. The VLAN needs to 'have a strong connection because heavy architect software needs to be used'Here is the plan of action I have so far:Ensure licenses for win server and exchange are bought.Install OS on new server, install all updates, service packs etc.Configure AD...

I want to install XP Pro SP2 on a Mac Mini from a 2003 RIS server.

I want to install XP Pro SP2 on a Mac Mini from a 2003 RIS server. Is this possiIble? How is it done?
The mac has 10.5 which has bootcamp to enable Windows install. I have created a partition but the bootcamp utility asks for a CD. I want to install a RIS build. The Mac has a option for network boot but this seems to only work with Mac Server. I assume the network adapter is not PXE compatible and so a boot disk of some kind will be needed to kick this off?.

Hallo, I installed the program as you said. Everything ok.

How can i Migrate a database from DB2 to SQL Server 2008r2.

Hi Gurus,
Kindly help me letting me know the process for migrating the database from DB2 to SQL Server.
1) Is there any way to migrate a database from DB2 to SqlServer. (My assumption is we can not migrate database, if wrong correct me gurus).
2) Or we can only transfer data from that DB2 database to SQL Server (Using SSIS packages).
Please help me knowing the process to migrate the data from DB2 server to MSSQL server. Even am reading the documents available in the web.
Thanks in advance.. :)

Microsoft provide a migration assistant for DB2 to SQL Server:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=45296
SQL Server Migration Assistant (SSMA) is a free supported tool from Microsoft that simplifies database migration process from DB2 to SQL Server and Azure SQL DB. SSMA automates all aspects of migration including migration assessment analysis, schema and
SQL statement conversion and data migration.
Hope that helps

Migrating SAP products from a non-SQL Server platform to a SQL Server 2005

Hi,
I have another question too.
Can someone pls provide me the Considerations for Migrating SAP products from a non-SQL Server platform to a SQL Server 2005 platform?
More specifically from Oracle to SQL 2005.
Regards
Abhi

Hello
You need to perform an OSDB migration.
This will involve exporting your SAP system into a DB neutral format and then reloading this into an SQL 2005 SAP system.
Please review http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration
I recommend you review the homo/heterogeneous system copy guide for your SAP release.
Thanks

Migrating dns from windows 2003 to windows 2008 on workgroup env

Hi, We are planning to migrate primary dns server from win 2003 to win 2008. Both the old and new servers will be in work group. I have found few articles on how to proceed.
1. Configure new dns server 2008 R2 box as a secondary zone and doing a zone transfer for froward & reverse lookups from the primary Server 2003 machine. Then changing the name and IP of the Server 2008 R2 machine to
what the Server 2003 box was (after pulling the Server 2003 box off the network) as well as setting the 2008 R2 box as the primary. Neither of the servers will be connected to a domain at any point during or after this process.
2. Copy registry keys and dns files from old to new server
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\DNS Server\Zones
Right click on the “Zones” node and choose “Export“. Save the export as a .reg file (e.g. DNS.reg).
Copy the DNS.reg file to the destination server and “Merge“.
Copy the DNS files
Copy the contents of the %SystemRoot%\System32\DNS folder from the source machine to the same folder on the destination machine. I received an permissions error while trying to transfer the “Samples” folder. It is not necessary to transfer the samples.
Set the DNS Load method
Using the Administrative Tools -> DNS MMC snap-in, on the “Advanced” tab, set the “Load zone data on startup:” to “From registry“. This tells the DNS server to load all zone data from the registry.
Then change the ip address and hostname of the new server to match that of the old ones and start dns service.
I was wondering which method would be easy and hassle free as I have like 23 zones to transfer.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Lakshmi Soma

I would go with the first method as I always try to avoid making registry changes which might result in strange behaviors.

Problems Migrating from VS 2003 and CR 2008 to VS 2008

I am in process of upgrading from VS 2003 to VS 2008. At same time u2013 moving from Windows Xp to Windows 7. I was using CR 2008 on the XP and also installed it on Win 7. Now seems I have no support or SDK for VS 2008. Even if I add a new Cr object u2013 the screen us blank.
Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated.
What do I need to do to get this to work u2013 and be able to safely distribute the resulting project?
Would upgrading to SAP CR 2011 work coupled with downloading the SDK for VS 2010? Or Reinstalling VS 2008?
Thank you
JimH

Hi Jim,
CR for VS 2010 will not work in VS 2008 and CR 2011 does not have an SDK install.
If you have Installed CR 2008 before VS 2008 it won't be integrated into VS. Do a repair install of VS 2008 and that should fix VS, assuming CR 2008 is installed and it's not a CR 2008 Basic, must be higher to get the SDK to install and work. Go into Add/Remove Programs and select CR 2008 and change, use the Custom Option and you should see the option to add .NET. Sorry I don't recall the exact wordage, it's been a while since I installed it.
And be sure to get the latest Service Packs for VS and CR 2008 SP 4. You can get them form the [download page|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap%28bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==%29/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm]
Then check your references, they should be 12.x.x.xxxx and remove the 9.x from your project first if they are there still also. VS usually asks if you want to upgrade so I suspect a repair on CR and then possibly a repair in VS 2008 should fix the problem.
Download page also has the Redist Packages to deploy your app and CR runtime also.

Active Directory not replicating from SBS 2003 to Server 2008 R2 Standard

I have an old SBS 2003 server and am migrating to a 2008 R2 server. I followed this guide:
http://demazter.wordpress.com/2010/04/29/migrate-small-business-server-2003-to-exchange-2010-and-windows-2008-r2/
I followed the guide (except the exchange stuff, because they are moving from exchange to Google apps for business) and everything went fine.
I removed the sbs from Domain controller status (dcpromo'ed it out) and everything seemed to go fine. I haven't turned off the old server yet, because they are still using it for a couple of other unrelated applications.
After I did this I added new computers to active directory, but they only showed up on the active directory on the old sbs (I think something went wrong when I too the old sbs out of domain controller status).
I ran dcdiag on the new server and this is the result:

I also noticed that the SYSvol share on the new server is empty and the NETLOGON share doesn't exist.
Please help! Thanks.

Hi,
Do you currently have any relevant errors in your System or Application logs?
Seems like the replication is not successfully.
An SBS server shouldn't shut down upon detecting the existence of another DC as that's a fully supported scenario.

Migrating Server 2003 to Server 2008 R2

I am in migration hell... the network is a simple one, it has one domain controller running a Windows Server 2003 domain in Windows 2000 Native mode. No other servers but a NAS box are on the network, the rest are workstations. I am migrating it to
a Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 bit server, I used adpre32 to perform the steps on the old server.
Before performing the migration I ran netdiag and dcdiag and came up clean. I ran the adprep steps and everything ran great. I got to the part where I was going to transfer the roles and ntdsutil gives a "connect to server WIN2008SERVERNAME, that's
when I get the binding error "ntdsutil dsbind error 0x5 access is denied".
When I also try to go in via Active Directory Users and Computers (on the original domain controller) and then try to connect to a Domain Controller, I see the new DC but when I go to select it I get "The following domain controller could not be
contacted : WIN2008SERVERNAME.DOMAINNAME.COM Access is denied.
I have run repadmin /showrepl on the original box and it came back as successful. I ran DCDIAG and came up fine. I ran nltest /sc_query:DOMAINNAME.COM which came back as I_NetLogonControl failed: Status = 1355 0x54b ERROR_NO_SUCH_DOMAIN.
Network browsing works fine, all computers logon fine and nslookup runs on both the old server and new one showing the old server as it should until the FSMO roles get transferred.
All of this works fine form the new server, DNS looks good and dcdiag DNS testing came up fine. I'm basically banging my head against a wall at this point.

Here are the NETDIAG results from the source domain controller, notice towards the end where it states that LDAP passed but had fatal errors. This is whats blocking the roles from being transferred. I admit I am lacking the knowledge to repair this
so I appreciate the help.

Upgrading domain controller from Server 2003 to Server 2012 R2, how will this affect Exchange 2010?

Hi All,
Below is an AD and Server related post that I had submitted last week. While I did receive valid responses for the post, I was advised to check with the Exchange forums for the Exchange related question in
bold. All responses are welcomed, thank you!
===========================================================
Hi All,
I am hoping that someone could perhaps provide some insight on this topic as I apparently can't seem to google the best answer.
I have recently acquired an AD domain that is running on a 2003 domain controller. I have been tasked with upgrading our existing domain structure with 2012 R2 domain controllers for our main office and remote offices.
The domain name is company.mynetwork.com, and it is the default first site name. We have multiple offices throughout the US with their own domain controllers (i.e. FL.mynetwork.com, NY.mynetwork.com, DC.mynetwork.com, etc.).
Our main office, and default first site has one domain controller (mynetdc1) running Server 2003 R2. It is also our only DNS server for the main office. It also has an additional domain controller called mynetmaster3 which is running Server 2003.
Both mynetdc1 & mynetmaster3 NTDS settings show them as global catalogs under AD Sites & Services. Both servers are also in the AD Domain Controllers OU, along with all of the other satellite office domain controllers.
Additionally, our main office is running Exchange 2010 with the latest service pack. My questions are:
Can we demote and retire mynetmaster3, then replace mynetdc1 with a newly promoted 2012 R2 global catalog domain controller without harming anything in the domain tree and interrupting connectivity to the other offices (this of course goes without saying
after a 4 hour maintenance window to get the task completed has passed)?
Should we upgrade the satellite offices first after raising the functional level for mynetdc1, or should we do the opposite (upgrade main office, then satellite offices)?
MS Exchange 2010 is heavily dependent on AD, what effect will this entire project have on our email server? What steps should we take beforehand to ensure email continuity?
Finally, is there any shame for a Net Admin to suggest that we hire an implementation specialist for this task? :)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

As long as the operating system on your Exchange servers isn't upgraded, and as long as you do the Active Directory domain and forest updates in the supported manner (the following link is a good example -
http://blogs.msmvps.com/mweber/2012/07/30/upgrading-an-active-directory-domain-from-windows-server-2003-or-windows-server-2003-r2-to-windows-server-2012/), Exchange will happily operate behind the scenes. Exchange 2010 is supported in the Windows
forests (domain controllers, domain functional level and forest functional level) mentioned in the following TechNet article, which includes both Windows 2003 and Windows 2012.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff728623(v=exchg.150).aspx
Due to this, you should be good as long as you do the domain controller, domain, and forest upgrades carefully. Oh, and before you start each step, get a nice backup.

Migration of Database from Oracle to SQL Server in Business Objects XI 3.1

Hi,
Currently, We are working on Business Objects XI 3.1 and Database is Oracle 11g. And now we have the requirement to migrate from Oracle 11g to SQL Server 2008 R2.
I would like to know what are the key points to be considered in business objects XI 3.1 when the database is migrated from oracle to SQL server.
If anyone can share the Impact analysis document for Business Objects, it would be great.
Thanks,
Lavanyaa TP

If you use business objects tools for such migration , the impact should be minimal.
CMSDBCopy mechanism from CCM should work fine for this purpose.

Cannot save files to Windows server 2003 file server from MAC

Hi,
We have few MAC users and others mostly windows based users. Problem now is MAC users cannot save any files to the file server. I had the issues to save in the portable hard drive then i format the HDD to fat 32 and now i can save, But the file server cannot
be done like that.
What i can do to save the files to file server? please advice me
thanks
saththiyan

I cannot attach another NAS as CEO need to save files to all the folders which is there in the file server already,
You can share the folder and map a drive across the network to access the shared folder on the file server. Shared folders formatted NTFS do not affect network access. You would do that by using the SMB. Here's how:
How to Map Network Drive in Mac OS X
http://www.technipages.com/how-to-map-network-drive-in-mac-os-x.html
What OS version is the server? Is it a DC? You may need to reduce security on the server to allow Macs to access the server. Here's more info:

Windows 7 pro client cannot access folders on server 2003 domain server

I added a windows 7 64 bit client to a server 2003 32 bit domain 3 weeks ago and file sharing was working fine until today, 5/4/12. Now, when trying to access shared folders that reside on the server,
I get the following "access denied" message:
[…folder…] is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The user name could not be found.
Strangely enough...
The windows 7 client
can open shared folders that reside on the XP clients in the domain
All the XP clients in the domain can access the server 2003 folders
All the XP clients and the server 2003 machine can access shared folders and printers on the windows 7 client.
The windows 7 client can ping the server 2003 machine and vice versa
I can “see” the server in my network list, but when I click on it, I get the same “access denied” message listed above.
So... the only problem is that the windows 7 client cannot access folders that reside on the windows server 2003 machine. There must be some sharing setting that got changed
by a recent windows update.
Here is what I have done/verified so far on the windows 7 client:
In advanced sharing settings for Home/Work, Public and Domain profiles:
network discovery is enabled
file and print sharing is enabled
use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers is selected (I also tried allowing windows to manage homegroup connections instead, but the problem remained.)
40 -56 bit encryption is enabled
In “gpedit.msc” Local Policies/Security Settings:
enabled the following policies:
Network access: Allow anonymous SID/name translation
Network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users
disabled the following policies:
Network access: Restrict anonymous access to Named Pipes and Shares
Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts
Network access: Do not allow anonymous enumeration of SAM accounts and shares
What am I missing? Are there policies on the server that need to be adjusted?
Please help! My business is crippled if I cannot access server files from this workstation. Thank you in advance.

UPD driver (PCL6) for Windows 7 x64 client machines installed on a Server 2003 x32 server.

Hi,
We have CP1515 LaserJet printers run over TCP/IP from our Servers which run Server 2003 (32 bit).
We have recently bought some new PCs running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit edition.
How do I get the Win 7 x64 machines to use the printers served via the Server 2003 x32 machine ?
All my attempts to install the software (pcl6-x??-5.3.1.10527) on either the Server2003 or Win 7 x64 machine fails.
The EXE (pcl6-x64-5.3.1.10527) file won't run on Server2003 - I'm guessing because it expects an x64 operating system.
The EXE (pcl6-x32-5.3.1.10527) file runs on Server2003, but doesn't seem to do anything - I'm guessing because there is already an x32 driver.
When I use the ‘Additional Drivers’ option in the printer properties to an x64 driver, none of the supplied .INF files inside the expanded EXE are considered suitable.
The EXE (pcl6-x64-5.3.1.10527) runs on Win7 x64 machine, but when I select the existing printer on Server2003, it says it can't find the driver - which is ridiculous as I'm installing the driver!
I can get the EXE pcl6-x64-5.3.1.10527 to complete on the Win 7 machine if specifying a completely new printer queue (by supplying the IP address). However not only is this not satisfactory as it bypasses the required security and defaults on the server queue, but also it frustratingly then 'forgets' it had a perfectly good driver when I try and subsequently add the server printer queue.
I’ve run out of ideas. Can anyone help ?
Thanks,
Stuart Poore

Hi
I had this trobule too. Below is the instructions to install driver. Disconnect your printer. In printers select add printer. Then click windows update (need internet) allow them to update and then select 1220c printer to install leaving as standard old port. Once installed go into printer properites and update to USB port.

Is SBS 2011 the right choice for replacing Server 2003 Terminal Server?

Reading license options has done my head in so going to ask for recommendations here if SBS is best option, as every option seems to have pros/cons.
Need to upgrade a 2003 Server which has 2 local users and average of 10 remote users (max 15 users). They use remote desktop to connect with everything on a single server (on its last legs now). Server acts as DC, runs SQL Server 2008 R2 Express
(need to upgrade from Express to SQL server Std shortly due to size), Microsoft Office, Myob, and a couple of proprietary applications.
I'm thinking SBS 2011 is best option as with premium add-on will include SQL Server licenses, so it's looking the most cost effective?
So the questions;
In an ideal world what would you suggest as a replacement for the current setup? (As is, with apps installed on server and remote users using Remote Desktop, or can SBS 2011 offer better solution?)
Can you install Microsoft Office 2003 under SBS 2011 for all users to use with existing licenses? Cost of upgrading server and O/S will probably rule out upgrading Office as well at the moment (though that's the long term plan).
or.. Best way of running Office and app for SQL Server on local PC's with VPN link? (may have issues with response times for some locations). I gather DirectAccess won't be an option as needs multiple servers and clients are Windows 7, but just
Win 7 Pro, not Enterprise.
Appreciate any advice.... this is for a small business with a few locations that is just getting big enough to require an upgrade, but small enough that funds as always are limited. Realise what I'm asking about maintaining current setup using
Remote Desktop is probably not best practice, but is it most cost effective given the small size?

Hi:
There is no easy answer, and a lot depends on what you do with your email. SBS made email very easy, but without it, the decisions are harder and more costly. O365 and other hosted email systems are low cost of entry but they add up over time.
Pop3 is cheap, but not very robust or convenient.
SQL introduces another wrinkle. SQL express is free and is good for databases up to 10 GB. If you are well within that limit I would do that and not incur the expense of SQL Server. If you need SQL server, the PAO is the best way to
acquire it, but you will need a physical box to install it, unless you do Hyper V as below.
SBS does not allow for remote access to itself to run programs. Only for admin purposes. Full stop.
In an ideal world I would suggest SBS 2011 and Server 2012 running as VM's on one beefy server. Install Server 2012 in HyperV role only, then install SBS 2011 as VM1 and Server 2012 again as VM2. The license for Server 2012 allows 3 installs
of the same license, one as host and two guests. If you need a third server you can install the same copy of Server 2012 again as a second VM. Not that all three installs must be on the same box. This third VM could also be the Server 2008
from the PAO, but iirc the SQL version that comes with the PAO only checks that there is a SBS in the domain, not what OS it is being installed on.
So, for the cost of one pretty beefy server, one copy of SBS 2011, one copy of the Server 2012 and, if needed the PAO and RDS CALs and Office CALs you should be covered.
Don't forget a robust firewall to protect all of this.
