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.

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.

PKI migration from 2003 to greenfield 2008 R2 plan-of-approach
Hi,
I've done a lot of reading here already but I'm on a dead end. Here's my scenario:
I have 1 Stand-alone root CA plus 2 Enterprise issuing CA's, all running Windows Server 2003. I'm trying to move all servers to a new OS platform: Server 2008 R2. The way I'm seeing this is I have to migrate the Root CA first, then all issuing CA's, so my
first question is:
1. Is this correct?
I followed this procedure:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc742388(v=ws.10).aspx. At "To set up a CA on a computer running Windows Server 2008" I specified the backup I made earlier and specified the private key from the 2003 stand-alone root CA. After
the wizard finishes, I am able to succesfully start the CA on the 2008 server. Next chapter is "Restoring the database and configuration on the target computer". It prompts to shut down the CA service, which I allow, it restores the DB (which
I point to as part of the wizard), when it finishes restoring, it prompts to start the CA service again. This is where the headache starts; it throws an ADCS error "0xc8000220 (ESE: -544)" and it fails to start.
The application log on the target server throws the following errors (in chronological order) :
[source: ESENT - EventID: 916] certsrv.exe attempted to attach database 'C:\windows\system32\certlog\<CANAME> but it is a database restored from a backup set on which hard recovery was not started or did not complete successfully'
[source: CertificationAuthority - EventID: 17] "Active Directory Certificate Services did not start: Unable to initialize the database connection for <CANAME>. Error: 0xc8000220 (ESE: -544).
I have no idea as to what this means so my next Obvious question would be:
2. Please advice in my next step?
Cheers!
Check out my blog you-n-it.netKurt,
Thanks for your reply.
Unfortunately I'm still not able to migrate an out-of-the-box stand-alone root CA 2003 to a 2008 server. Using the same or another host name. I'm at a dead end. One thing I noticed is:
When running esentutl /g on the running CA DB (in a lab) things are ok. Running it on the back-upped version of the db, it says it's corrupted. esentutl /r does NOT repair it. esentutl /p does, and afterwards it's verifiable using esentutl /g but it's still
not possible to bring it online. I've followed
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc742388(v=ws.10).aspx to the letter and I've read other sites as a comparison (not doubting, merely looking for success stories based on this procedure) and it seems like I'm the only one in the world that's unable
to perform a successful restore! :( Anywhere I can dig deeper?
This error is my nemesis: [ESENT: 412] certsrv.exe (2824) Restore0001: Unable to read the header of logfile C:\Windows\system32\CertLog\edb00003.log. Error -546.
Cheers!

CA Server Migration from 2003 R2 to 2008 R2
What would be the best path to upgrade the Certification Authority (CA) server for a domain that is currently running off Windows Server 2003 R2?
1. In-place upgrade to 2008
2. Backup existing configuration, decommission server from domain, bring a 2008 R2 server online to the domain with the same name and then restore configurationHello,
is that a single server domain? So everything is installed on a single DC?

Migrating from 2003 DC to 2008
I have been working on cleaning up a network that I inherited. Currently we are running at a 2003 function level and I want to bump that up to 2008.
At our main site I have 3 Domain Controllers, 2 are 2008 and 1 is 2003. I have one 2008 DC at a secondary site.
The 2003 domain controller is also running Exchange 2007. We have a new server running Exchange 2010 but we have kept that old 2007 running because it does call recording and we have not been able to migrate that off yet.
A consulting company told me not to DCPROMO the 2003 server down until we were able to remove Exchange 2007.
I want to DCPROMO down the 2003 server and raise the domain function level but was a little nervous after they told me that.
However, I can't really understand why Exchange would make a difference whether the server is a domain controller. Really Exchange should have never been put on a domain controller anyway.
One more thing, the 2003 server is also the DHCP server, have not migrated that yet either.
Any thoughts/tips?
Thanks,Hi,
Installing Exchange on a domain controller is not recommended, if we have install Exchange on DC, and then change DC to member server may lose functionality in Exchange, here is an article talked about Exchange Server 2003 and Domain Controllers, it
should also apply for Exchange 2007, please go through it:

Windows 2003 to windows 2008 r2 migration-non dc
Hello,
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?
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755199(v=ws.10).aspx
Also i have found another blog about about migration windows 2003 to windows 2008, but ""IS IT ONLY FOR DC or APPLIES TO NON DC AS WELL""?
http://blog.pluralsight.com/upgrading-to-server-2008-from-server-2003
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.

Best way to migrate SharePoint 2003 data into SQL Server 2008
Hi Experts,
I am planning to migrate data from SharePoint 2003 into SQL Server 2008. After the migration SharePoint site will be deleted in couple of months and then that data will be feed into .Net Front end application
1) What is the best and easy way to do it?
2) Is there any way to automate the migration process? i.e. If a new record gets entered into SharePoint it should be populated into SQL Server 2008.
3) Any other suggestions
Thanks,
JohnDear John,
If it's just a few lists, and you just want to import them "as-is" then it should be possible to do so ... and survive to tell the about it ;-)
Generally speaking, You will need to write a small process (program or script) to read/parse each list and check if the item(s) are in the target table (I assuming that there is a distinct table as target
for each list, and that each list has 'something" you can use to distinct each row), if it's not there, the just add them according to your needs.
Then just rerun the process periodically and it would keep your databases up to date (you could even set ti up to update those records that have changes, but that would delay your process significantly)
What i just described is doable, and not TOO complicated, it could be done i a lot different ways, and with different alternatives of programming/scripting languages. for sure you can do it in any flavor
of .net language, and even powershell.
As I mentioned, this is speaking in general, the actual implementation would depend on your specific needs and the kind of data that you have/need to keep.
Best Regards / Saludos, Marianok

Migrate MOSS 2007 Server from Server 2003 (32-bit) to Server 2008
I have a client with MOSS 2007 installed on Windows Server 2003, and a database server (SQL 2005) also on Server 2003. they have two new Windows Server 2008 servers, and they wish to do a migration. They have custom Features, including Event Receivers
installed in their environment.
Do I need to install the 32-bit edition of MOSS 2007 on the new server in order to be able to use the pre-compiled custom Features used in the current server?
My plan is to do the following:
(a) Migrate databases from current database server (SQL 2005) to new database server (SQL 2008),
(b) Re-assign SQL redirection to new database server (the database was previously on the same box as the WFE, and this was separated out last year to another server, but redirecting the SQL Server,
(c) Install MOSS 2007 (32-bit) on the other new server
(d) Patch both instances of MOSS 2007 to the same point
(e) Create (dummy) site collection on new server, and install all custom Features on server
(f) Add new server to existing Farm
(g) Remove previous server from Farm
What must I do to install existing custom Features on new server?
Is there anything that I have left out of the process? Do I need to do anything about the SSP running on the current server?Thanks Keith for your reply.
Even is USMT does not work, we are ok. SMIGdeploy will be helpful.
Basically, want MDT to run some scripts on the Windows 2003 server, post which install Windows 2012 and join it to the existing domain with the same computer name.
Then hydration kit to help with the installation of features etc. Also, we would like to take a complete backup to a WIM before migrating.
I am sure this is workable.

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...

Migrating DC's from Server 2003 to Server 2008 Enterprise 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? -
Migrating Windows Server 2003 File Cluster to Windows Server 2008 R2
Hello,
I have a very large Windows Server 2003 2 node file cluster that I would like to upgrade to Windows 2008 R2. I need to do this inplace (same server hardware) and I would like to use the existing storage if possible (I could buy more if it would make things
easier).
Is there a step by step guide that can tell me how to do this upgrade inplace or can anyone give me details on how to do this? I've looked at a few articles and they are not very descriptive on what to do.What Microsoft calls an inplace upgrade is option 2 below
There are two basic migration/upgrade methods for a 2003 cluster to 2008
1) Build on new hardware, and move the disk/migrate the data.
2) Break cluster and remove one node, use that node to build a new one node cluster. Repeat by removing nodes and adding to new cluster.
Here is the MS Step-by-step guide for both of these approaches.

Problems after print server migration to Windows Server 2008 R2
Hi all,
New forum member, first time poster. I am at my wits end and have concussion from banging my head on the desk for several days running. Hopefully someone here may be able to help.
Environment
I have recently moved our printing environment from a Windows Server 2003 machine to a new Server 2008 R2 machine in prep for rolling out Windows 7 x64 clients. We have 30-40 printers, majority of which are HP's (M2727's, P4015dn's, CM3530's, P2035's & a CM8060).
My procedure for setting up the printers on the new server involved manually creating each printer and using up-to-date drivers, we wanted to start fresh. The HP's are all using the HP Universal PCL 5 or PCL 6 (61.115.1.10527) x86 & x64 driver. We use Desktop Authority on logon to install the required printers for each client.
Problems
Since everyone is now running through the 2008 R2 server we have had a bunch of intermittent problems pop up all over the place, mostly with our HP printers. When using the PCL6 driver some applications print a page or 10 of garbled gibberish (wingdings etc), so most printers are now using the PCL5 driver. Other applications print the error "PCL XL error" when using PCL6. Sometimes reinstalling the printer on the client machine will resolve these errors, however they tend to resurface.
When we use the PCL5 driver our M2727's intermittently report "Out Of Memory" on the printer display (they are stock with 64M RAM each) - upgrading the RAM may fix this but we never had this problem before on the 2003 server. This problem is not specific to the size of the printed document - it could be a 20 page report or a 2 page excel document. Resetting the printer will generally clear this issue temporarily. This is currently our most annoying/biggest issue.
Some people are having issues printing to a FujiXerox 340A-AP printer - in particular 1 person is able to print fine, where as another prints and the print margin appears to be far too small. After confirming all print margins on the server then reinstalling the printer on the client machine, the problem still persists. We have two FujiXerox printers, the second one is working as intended for 8-10 users with the exact same settings.
Attempted Fixes
These are some of the attempted fixes that I have tried:
Turning it off and on
Upgrading the firmware on the M2727's to resolve garbled printing & out of memory
Upgrading the firmware on the CM3530's to resolve garbled printing
Reinstalling all HP Universal PCL5/PCL6 x86 & x64 drivers on the print server
Ensuring that the 2008 R2 server is 100% up-to-date with MS patches
Backing up all printers on print server, removing the print server role, deleting all printers & drivers, rebooting, reinstalling the print server role and restoring all printers from backup
Upgraded Desktop Authority to the latest version - as this application is in charge of installing the printers on logon
As you can see we are having a lot of problems and nothing seems to make any sense. None of this happened before Windows Server 2008 R2 was brought in to the equation.
If anyone is able to provide any assistance that would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Hartz.

Windows server 2008 R2 x64 Authentication failure while try to access Windows server 2003 R2
Hello,
I try to access Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard from Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 standard using integrated windows authentication . And because my application tries to read SQL server i'm getting and error that user is not trusted. Then I tried to open a
simple shared folder on 2003 and none of the users is able to do it. Both servers are part of common workgroup in the same IP range. Using domain is not an option. Migrating 2003 to 2008 is not an option either. The specific DB provider I have to use
supports only windows authentication, so creating user into SQL server is not an option too. I have tested many applications and cases which requires/uses windows authentication and non of the manage to connect.
Any help is very welcome because things are urgent!
Authentication failureThat method in workgroup mode may be a problem.
