Migrating roaming profile from Windows 2000 TS to Windows 2008 R2 RDS

We have one TS running on Windows 2000. There are over 200 TS users. We are planning to migrate it to Windows 2008 R2. What's the easy way to migrate the roaming profile? Base on this article
Support guidelines for migrating
roaming user profiles data to ...
Generally, user profiles that you create for users in Windows 2000, ... Server 2003 roaming user profile on Windows Vista or on Windows Server
2008. ... These methods migrate the
roaming profile data to the new Version 2 user profile format ...
support.microsoft.com
support.microsoft.com/kb/947025
There are two methods to migrate roaming profile. "Method 2: Use the Folder Redirection feature to share data between Version 1 and Version 2 user profiles" doesn't "migrate the desktop settings and preferences such as wallpaper because of
the differences in the operating systems". That isn't for us.
"Method 1: Use the User State Migration Tool to migrate profile data to the new format (Windows Vista Only)" is recommend that you the User State Migration Tool (USMT) to migrate profile data in the following scenarios:
You do not use roaming user profiles or folder redirection.
You want to enable a more full-featured migration of user profile data from Windows 2000-based or from Windows XP-based systems to Windows Vista-based systems.
Note The User State Migraton Tool will not function on Windows Server 2008.
So the method 1 doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Reason:
A Bug in Windows (or Windows 8 ... seen this issue posted quite a few times for Windows 8.
I'm actually able to recreate the issue persistently with domain accounts and roaming profiles on a second login on any Windows 8 system. The issue is there after the local profile has been ("re")created on that system. I don't why it happens
... but it happens every time for domain account.

Thank you for your answer.
The entry in that registry key remains indeed there. Is it safe to just remove that registry key when the user is no longer logged into that specific server?
The KB that you have send me is with the following explanation:
Notes
This issue occurs when the Windows Search service is enabled.
When this issue occurs, the registry subkey that represents the stale user profile is deleted. This subkey appears in the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
But we do not have the Windows Search service installed nor is it enabled in the services list? But the subkey does remain in the registry.
With kind regards,

Hi,

As I woudl like to know what our options here .any reference will be more useful .You would need to go with Windows 2003 as Windows 2008 is not certified with 11i -- See (Oracle Applications Installation Update Notes, Release 11i (11.5.10.2) [ID 316806.1]) for details.
I think of cloning option . What do you think ?You can use Rapid Clone to clone the instance from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003 as per the following docs.
Rapid Clone Documentation Resources, Release 11i and 12 [ID 799735.1]
Or, you could just upgrade the OS directly, and in this case please make sure you follow the steps in these docs.

Can I install Oracle 8.1.5 on Windows 2000 server or Windows 2000 professional

Yes, of course. Both versions works but you have to be prepared for lots of RAM.

Migrating Oracle Apps from 11.5.5 on Windows 2000 to 11.5.8 on Windows 2003

Currently we are running Oracle Applications 11.5.5 on Windows 2000 Server. We want to migrate to faster machines running Windows 2003 Server.
11.5.5 is not supported on Windows 2003. We will need to upgrate to at least 11.5.8.
Can you please suggest what is the best way to do this:
1- Upgrade 11.5.5 to 11.5.8 on Windows 2000
2- Install 11.5.8 on Windows 2003 Server. (Where would I get 11.5.8 from? Does Oracle ship older versions? I have CDs for 11.5.5 only).
3- Export/import the database
4- Move the customazitions over
1- Install 11.5.5 on Windows 2003 Server. (11.5.5 is not supported on Windows 2003. Can we temporarily install it still; and upgrade it soon to 11.5.8?)
2- Uprade 11.5.5 to 11.5.8 on Windows 2003 Server.
3- Export/import the database
4- Move the customazitions over
Thanks in advance.
Earliest attention is appreciated.

Migrating Users and Groups from Windows 2000 server to Windows 2013 Standard.

OK...let me see if I can get this question out the way I need to....
I inherited a Windows 2000 Server that's on it's last legs. We have a new server, a Windows 2013 Standard machine that we just recently purchased. I need to migrate the users and groups over to the new server, but there are two things that are
making it difficult:
The 2000 machine is NOT a Domain Controller
The 2000 machine is NOT running Active Directory
This is a file server that hangs onto another network of which I have no control of. It has its' own IP address and there is NO WAY we can run Active Directory or make it a domain controller.
I have close to 300 users, groups, and printers to bring over to the new server. Rather than kill myself doing manual input, is there any other way to do this?

Hi,
When you import the CSV file to new server, you need to create a new user account then import the CSV.

Roaming profile from 32BIT to 64BIT

Hi,
I've 2 terminal servers one s windows 2003 32BIT an another windows 2003 64BIT(just install).
I'm using roaming profile for the TS.
I'm having trouble to print from the 64BIT machine when the user use the roaming profile that came from the 32BIT.
when they try to print the print spooler crash.
when i remove the same user his roaming profile and connect him to the n 64BIT without his profile (a new one is created).
every thing work great.
I'm thinking maybe it is relate that the acrobat reader on 64BIt install it self on the Program file(x86) an not Program file like in 32BIt.
do you know about this problem and how i can fix that?(i use reader 8 on 32BIT and 8 and then 9 on 64BIT)
THX

Install the 9.2 64-bit media and use an export/import to upgrade the database to 64bit. To do this (after you install the 9.2 64-bit media):
1.) Run a full export of your 8.1.7 database
2.) Create a new 9.2 database
3.) Create tablespaces in the 9.2 database with the same names and sizes as your 8.1.7 database. (Take advantage of automatic segment space management and locally managed tablespace if you didn't 8.1.7) Also, use an automatic undo tablespace as well.
4.) Run a full import into the new 9.2 database with ignore=y
5.) Run $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp to recompile any invalid objects and verify everything is OK in the new 9.2 database.
6.) Finally update your clients to point to the new 9.2 database.

E531 - Power Managment service - Preventing roaming profile from being saved to server

Hi
I don't know exactly when it started, but I've noticed that all my Lenovo laptop users have not been able to save their roaming profiles to the server since at least September last year (2013). Their profiles are either empty or have not received any changes.
They are running a mix of Windows 8 and 8.1 and the problem is affecting E530, E531 and T430's.
If I disable the "Lenovo PM Service" then the profiles are saved as normal. Re-enabling the service results in the profile not saving again.
There are no error messages when the users logs out and there are no errors in the Events logs.
I plan to disable the service on all affected laptops until a proper fix can be identified.

I have the same issue with T440P. Unfortunately disabling PM also turns off some the Windows 8.1 hot key functionality on this machine. Have you found a fix for this issue yet?

Upgrade windows 2000 t o windows 2005 and sql 2000 to sql 2005

Dear People,
i have not actually done any upgradestill now, i have task where i need to upgrade existing sap system.The sap has already been upgraded, now my task is to upgrade operating system and database
requirement:
windows 2000 to windows 2003
sql 2000 to sql 2005
the above should be done by the procedure recommended by sap only, so im wondering where i can find the information and tools for uprading both O/S and DB.
Help
Raj

I personally would not do a Windows upgrade, Windows can be very picky when it comes to 3rd party SCSI/FC drives you may experience bluescreens during the update after the second boot etc.
I would backup the system and install the operating system from scratch and do a system copy instead.
For your database upgrade, there's a guide at

installation on which one will be more reliable and stable?
As I am choosing which OS will be better as a Server
please help

I don't think XP professional would be recommended as server.
would be better if you use 2000 Server or best if you use 2003 if you like windows environment

Remove Powershell Pinned Item from taskbar for all users in 2008 R2 RDS server

Im trying to remove the Powershell Pinned Item from the taskbar on a 2008 RDS server. I have setup a mandatory porfile from a 2008 SP2 server (because you cannot do this in R2 any more), Check the default user pinned items folder, check the registry for powershell.exe, loaded up the NTUSER.DAT file for default to see if any thing obious was there, tried some logon scripts that are suppose to remove pinned items and posted on several forums. This has to be one of the simplest dumb things i have ever worked on , and its been about a week. So how do i remove it?
P.S.
having the user click un pinn is not a solution
yes i have checked C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Hi Jeramy,
The default pinned items are created the first time a user logs in. Modifying the default user profile won’t help here.
The easiest option is to set the “Remove pinned programs from the Taskbar” to disable taskbar pinned items altogether. The default pinned items won’t show up, but the user won’t be able to pin anything else either.
If you don't want to disable pinning altogether the solution is a little more complicated. One option is to remove the shortcuts “Accessories\Windows PowerShell\Windows PowerShell.lnk” and “Administrative Tools\Server Manager.lnk” from the common start menu folder. These shortcuts are copied to create the pinned items. If they aren’t present they can’t be pinned. This is not a supported option but it may work.
Another option is to use IStartMenuPinnedList::RemoveFromList in a first run script to remove the pinned items. Not sure how reliable this would be due to the timing of when the default items are added compared to when the script would run.
One other option is to use shell scripting to invoke the pin & unpin verbs on items:
http://blogs.technet.com/deploymentguys/archive/2009/04/08/pin-items-to-the-start-menu-or-windows-7-taskbar-via-script.aspx
This would need to be done when the user first logs in (since unpinning default items in the default user profile won't affect each new user account), but it also need to be timed after Explorer sets up the default pinned items as explained above.
Hope one of these options work for you!

Migration from Roaming Profiles to User Profile Disks - RDS 2012 (R2)

Hi, I'm currently in the process of tweaking our RDS 2012 environment and have a question I hope someone can help me with....
The users who log onto the Collection are currently using roaming profiles stored on a 2008 R2 file server, but I'd like to move them onto User Profile Disks (looks to be a lot of pro's to it). Is there a way to migrate users profiles from roaming profiles
to User Profile Disks? We already have a lot of users on the farm with roaming profiles and I'm guessing if UPD is enabled, it will only take effect with new users? I need to do this without too much hassle if possible
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Hi Paul,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
Sorry to disappoint you, but you cannot able to move\migrate the roaming user profile to new User profile disk on server 2012\R2. You need to move them manually. Please refer below thread.
Is it possible to migrate local profiles to user profile disks?
