Migrating SCCM R2 to another new server

The current SCCMR2 server hardware warrenty is about to expire, so I need to replace the old server with a new one. Now the new server will have a different name than the old one. What would be they easiest way to accomplish this.
MSB

Question I will probally do the site recovery, however I would like to know -
1. When building a new site to a different server name and migrate to what are some of the headaches
2. Would I have to redeploy the sccm client from the new site to all the workstations
3. What exactly is being migrated from the old site to the secondary site that will be promoted to the primary site after the migration

Migrate SCCM 2012 to a new server

Hi,
I have a server with some issues. It currently also hosts our certificate authority and AV along with SCCM.
Our setup is a single server with SCCM installed. (Central\Primary site) There are also 6 other satellite offices that host distribution points. The Database resides on a different server.
I have run up a new Windows 2008 R2 standard VM that I want to move SCCM over to and remove it from the current site.
I have found a lot of sections about migrations that simply mentioned backup, turn off the old server, name the new server the name thing. That wont work in our scenario as the old server as mentioned hosts other services and wont be turned off.
Any help or links to places would be great.
Cheers,
Zac Avramides

Hi John,
I have started the process. I have a new SQL instance I am moving the old SCCM database to so I can do a side by side migration.
Have an issue though.
During the site reset the log comes up with:
INFO: SQL Connection failed. Connection: SMS ACCESS, Type: Secure
The only person I have found with the same issue is
here. They are also trying to move from one SQL server to another. SPNs are not my strong suit so I don't suppose you know anything about confirming that the temporary server (Development Server) has correct SPNs configured for its SQL instance.

Migrating existing portable homes to new server

aside from moving the homedir data from the old server to the new, there seem to be at least a few issues with migrating existing portable home accounts to a new server:
1. some of users' account details, like GeneratedUID, authentication authority, kerberos principals, OriginalNFSHomeDirectory, are different, while others (name, shortname, UID, GID, etc.) remain the same.
2. home directory (OriginalNFSHomeDirectory, etc.) point to the old server.
3. there's data on local machines that we don't sync back to the server, so we can't just blow away the existing local accounts and start fresh.
the quickest way to migrate these users to the new server (with all the same shortnames and UIDs, etc.) seems to be to remove the local cached accounts (leaving the home folders) and have them recreate new PHDs on login, syncing things back down to the original home folder. i'm guess this won't involve much syncing, it's all the same data, essentially.
the other way i can see resolving this is to replace the account attributes for each client to match what they should be when pointed to the new server. this would involve scripting the process for reliability and not moving any data or deleting accounts, but it will take more testing on my part.
what do you think? can you think of better ways to accomplish this task?
summary: what's the best way to move existing portable home accounts bound to "Server A" to "Server B," while maintaining data and portable homes pointed to the new server and storage?
thanks.

that createmobileaccount syntax was wrong. i guess you don't need the -t option and can instead specify the whole path to the user's home. it seems to work well enough, creating a portable home with no default sync settings -- basically manual. for my needs that's fine. the sync settings are managed via mcx anyway.
here's an updated version of the standalone script. i realized just now the script assumes the diradmin usernames and passwords are the same between servers. if that's not the case, you can hard code it or add a couple of variables. since they're just taken in order on stdin, add them in order. i should also add a function to interactively ask for the passwords with stty -echo to avoid having the passes logged in command history or allowing the script to curl the pass from another file on a web server or something. for now, this seems to work for my purposes. edit as you see fit.

How to Migrate the 12 Hives to new server in new farm

Dear All,
How could I migrate the 12 hives to new folder ??
Are there specific folder I just copy/past or I just copy everything and override the original ?
Thank you

My first question would be why? Any customizations, hopefully, should be in .wsp format.
Assuming you have manually copied files into the hive folder and are looking to get them to the new server, copying the whole hive across is a really bad idea. What I have done in this situation (more than once) is to use a differencing app such as Notepad++
(with plugins) or WinMerge (my personal fave).
1) Copy the hive from the source server to a temp folder on the destination server
2) Use one of the apps above to compare the two directory structures
3) Copy across just the missing files from the source folder to the destination hive
By doing it this way you ensure you don't damage your fresh clean hive on the new server, and you should be able to get across the manual customizations you need.
Good luck!

How do we migrate the OWB mapping from one server to another server?

Here is my situation.
Source server
================
Project name : SOURCEOWB
Under this project, we have two module(MBTSOURCE, MBTTARGET).
In connection explorer, the locations are DW_MBT_SR, DW_MBT_TR.
We have 15 mappings on this project.
Source schema name is TXMBT_DW.
Target schema name is MBTTX_DW.
I want to migrate the whole thing to new server.
Here are the info about target location. After migrating to new server, i need to rename
as below.
Project name : CA_SOURCEOWB
Under this project, we have two module(CA_MBTSOURCE, CA_MBTTARGET).
In connection explorer, the locations are CA_DW_MBT_SR, CA_DW_MBT_TR.
Source schema name is CA_TXMBT_DW
Target schema name is CA_MBTTX_DW
Here are my steps i followed.
===============================
1. Created the source and target schemas in new machine.
2. Create a new workspace
3. Export the mapping with dependent objects from source server and imported in new server.
4. changed the source and target location successfully.
5. Renamed the project namd, module names as i needed successfully.
But only issue is, i am not table to change the location name.
Again, i tried the below steps.
1. uninstall the workspace and create the workspace
2. create source and target locations as i needed(CA_DW_MBT_SR,CA_DW_MBT_TR).
3. import only mapping
4. Able to register the mapping
Here i am not able to configure the module for newly created locations.
I right clicked on module and click Configure, go to Stream Administrator and not able to find
the source and target locations over there.....
How do we resolve this?
My data warehouse is runing for each state. I want to copy one state mapping and import into
another state and customize the mapping. I have hard time to change the location name. Because,
location name has state code. I can not use the same location name for all other state.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Hello Oleg, Thanks for your input.. It helps... but the problem is not completly solved.
let me explain my whole steps. Plesae review and let me know if i missed anything.
1. Created new workspace. the workspace is successfully created.
2. Login to new workspace.
3. Go to Locations, create source location(entered host name,username, password etc)
4. Created target location(entered host name,username, password etc), go to db connector on target location, created new db connector and linked the source location here.
5. Exported mapping and import into new workspace.(I can not use the location name in the exported workspace).
6. Renamed the project name, module name as i needed.
7. Double click the module name under Oracle and changed the meta data location and data locations.
8. Right click on soure and target module and click configure, change the the location and streams administrator.
9. Right click on mapping and go to configure, go to table operators and change the location as i need.
10.Right click on target module(under oracle), click generate. On this step, i get the below error
VLD-1141: Internal error during mapping generation.
Java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExeception
11. Go to control center, register the source and targert and followed the step 10. I get the same error.
I am almost close to complete this task. But i got stuck in the last step.

Migrate Server 2008 Certificate Authority To New Server Different Host Name?

Our internal CA is installed on one of our Exchange servers. Exchange is being migrated from 2010 to 2013, so all current Exchange servers will decommissioned and replaced with new new Hyper-V VMs with either Server 2008 R2 or 2012 R2 OS. The old VM
containing Exchange 2010 and the current CA will go away since we cannot afford to use the server resources and use up the required Windows license to keep that server running doing nothing but acting as a CA.
So, we will either need to move the CA to the new replacement Exchange 2013 server or some other existing server that's being used for something else (maybe one of the domain controllers).
What is the best way to handle this? I don't think the migration from Exchange 2010 to 2013 allows for reusing the same host name on the replacement server and if we move the CA to another existing server, it will also be on a server with a new host
name anyways.
Can we migrate the CA to a new server with a different host name?
What about reissuing all the active certificates from the current server to replace them with new certificates from the new server and then decommissioning the original CA? Can this be automated in some way?
Which way is best and how would it be done?

When following the instructions in the guide, I would also consider to switch to new "sanitized" URLs in certificates (CDP and AIA) in case you had used the default URLs now. That's what I did this when migrating W2K3 CAs (with default URLs) to W2K8 R2.
Per default, the LDAP and HTTP URLs point to the CA server itself (HTTP) or to an LDAP objects that has the same name as the current server.
Migrating to a new server, you need to make sure that CRLs will still be published to the old locations - thus the new CA server would write to the LDAP object that corresponded to the old server, and HTTP might be fixed by redirecting the DNS record. (Make
sure this is documented so that nobody thinks it might be a good idea to delete the old object as it "references a server that does not exist anymore".)
As you have to fiddle with URLs anyway, I would then add new URLs having neutral names - that is URLs not including the name of the CA server. The new CA instance would then 1) publish to the old locations but not add these to certificates anymore and 2)
publish to new sanitized locations and add them to CDP and AIA URLs.

Migrating Crystal Reports Server XI to a new Server

Post Author: david_okeefe
CA Forum: Deployment
Hi,I am trying to migrate an existing Crystal Reports installation from an old server to a new server. To prevent interruption of service, the new server must be able to be online at the same time as the old server (thus it must have a different name). I installed Crystal Reports Server XI and told it to create its CMS database by copying the existing CMS database. Unfortunately, I received an unspecified error ("failed to received first object from source database"). After that, I opted to create a new, default CMS database. I tried using the import wizard to migrate the reports to the new server. The import wizard managed to bring over all of the folders, users, and groups, but not any of the reports. When I looked at the migration log, it gave me an error stating that it could not find the parent folder. I have no real idea how to address this issue. On a related note, I also do not know how to point crystal at the reports repository on the new server. I tried using the Data Source Migration wizard to copy the reports from the old server to the new server. Unfortunately, it didn't appear to register any of the new reports. Given what I have already tried, I am not sure how to proceed.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks,David

Migrate Mirror Database to New Server

Hi,
I need to migrate my SQL server Mirror Database to
a new server. my current setup is as below
1. server A principal (192.168.1.100)
2. server B Mirror (192.168.1.200)
now i have a new server (Server C) to replace server B as below
1. server A principal (192.168.1.100)
2. server C Mirror (192.168.1.300)
my question is how to migrate mirror db to new server without any affect or downtime on principal server, please share idea/experience for above.
note: SQL SERVER 2008R2 EE(64BIT), Win2008R2 EE 64bit.
Regard
Faisal Wahid

Thanks for your quick response.
Is it possible something like in oracle (pardon as i am oracle DBA not sql server guy),
(Oracle Steps to migrate standby(mirror) db to new server)
1. Pause replication on primary(principal)
2. Move standby(mirror) database files to new server(using copy/rman/etc).
3. Update connection information (TNS in oracle) on primary(principal) to point new server.
4. Start replication on primary(principal).
the above steps will simply migrate the standby(mirror) database to new server,
can we do something like above in sql server?

After transfer to new server, doesn't work

Hello iTunes U Administrators,
A short description about my iTunes U experience - none. I am a new hire at my academic institution, and it so happens that the folks with the most experience with setting up iTunes U have just left for vacation.
We just migrated our site to a new server, and iTunes U doesn't open any more. We are using the Perl script version. I have verified that Perl scripts are still able to run on the new server. The "https://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/**.**" URL still works when I enter it into a browser.
We are using the version of Perl script that requires the following modules:
URI::Escape
Digest::SHA
Net::HTTP
I am checking with IT to verify that these modules are installed . We are using Perl 5.8.8 on Linux.
The main mode of failure seems to be that "aURL" is not being defined. Here is a snippet from our web page source:
{start of php section}
importrequestvariables("gp");
if($launch == "open")
passthru("valid-file-path/cgi-bin/itunespublic.pl");
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>openApple(aURL); </script>";
{end of php section}
In the perl script, the sub invokeAction() does not seem to assign a value to aURL, even as it generates JavaScript tags and "aURL =".
Any ideas?

Migrate SCCM 2012 to new server

I need to migrate our SCCM 2012 installation to a new server. Both the old and new servers will be up concurrently if necessary. What steps do I need to take to do this?
Also, I want to upgrade to SP1 at the same time. Can I install SP1 on the new box alongside my current RTM install and do the migration or do I have to do the upgrade as a completely separate step after migration is complete?
Thanks.

Backup ConfigMgr on the old server (using the built-in maintenance task or a SQL backup; keep in mind to backup ContentLib, sources for applications, drivers, wim files etc!). Shut down server. Install new server (same name + domain + partition layout).
Install ConfigMgr. Restore ConfigMgr backup. I don't know if it's supported to change the SP level at the same time. I would not recommend changing too much things simultaneously though.

Migrate CAL's Terminal Licensing to Another TS Server on New Domain

Hi
I have Terminal Server Licensing with Windows Server 2003 on OLD forest (tsserver.fortestold), on new forest I have Terminal Server Licensing with Windows Server 2003 Installed (tsserver.fortestnew).
I want to migrate my CAL licenses from the old
Terminal Server (tsserver.fortestold) to the new Terminal Server
on tsserver.fortestnew). My clients work 7x24
365 days of year.
My question is how to migrate my licenses
to the new TS server without disconnecting
my clients?
Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Initially what’s your new Server OS, where you have to transfer your CAL License?
Is the same as server 2003 or some other OS?
For the migration step, initially you need to install the License role on target server, activate the target license server, call the MS Clearing house with all the license related documents on hand, explain him the whole scenario of your’s ad they will help
to migrate the server. Also need to deactivate the source license server.
If you have different version of CAL\Licneses then need to upgrade\purchase accordingly.
More information.

Migration of company code from one server to another

Dear Sir/Madam,
We are in the process of migrating company code from one server to another server. We have activated the company code with ewt in old server on 01.10.10. We have to migrate the same company w.e.f. 01.11.10 to new server.
we have two options one is to migrate the company without ewt activation where we can take all the open items and trial balance and then activate ewt and do the required health check up in ewt.
second option is to activate the ewt and then migrate , here the issue is that if open items are migrated after ewt activation the tds gets calculated again.
In indian scenario we have to pay the tds (challan updation) by 7th of next month, if we migrate then this is not possible because in the new server we do not have the data in the table required for clearing the entries. We are thinking of doing the challan updation in the old server itself.
Can you suggest us the option through which we can migrate the company code. If you have any other option then please suggest.
Prashant P. Zinge

Issue in migrating analysis service job from one server to another

Hi All,
I'm migrating analysis services from one server to another, within the source server there is a job with the name
denreportingprocess which executes a batch file within local drive on server. I have moved all the analysis services cubes from the source server to destination and all the databases on the source server have been restored to destination.Verified
cubes are pointing to the correct database by modifying the connection string within the datasource part of the cube databases.
I have copied the entire process folder from source to destination and edited the code within the run file and code within the job pointing the locations to new server.
Below is the job code, it is running a batch file placed in E drive

Not able to recreate virtual desktops after migrating to new server

Hello Everyone,
I need some help please,
I migrated our roles and VMs to new system,I basically joined the new servers to the existing failover cluster, installed all VDI roles and after moving all roles and VMs to the new servers, I removed the old servers from the cluster.
everything seems working fine except recreating the virtual desktops collection.
when I try to do so, I get this error message:
"The RD Connection Broker server does not have access to add the
virtual desktops to the Active Directory domain. Configure access by
using the Active Directory page of Deployment Properties."
I did some searches for this error and from AD Users and Computers tool -> security tab of root node (domain/OU) I gave full permission to the new server.
another strange thing, is that I no longer can modify the domain and OU setting when I click on
"Edit Deployment"
the fields are grayed and no longer editable.
please advise.
Thanks

Thanks -TP,
I got it to work , the first time I tried to create a new collection , the master vm export failed with permission errors, later on It passed. after that I dropped a collection and recreated the vms of the first collection.
it is not clear to me yet, why this happened and how it got fixed but for now it is working.
Thanks again.
