Migration domain

I have domain controller ABC.local windows server 2012 R2 I need to migrate to another domain in another forest DEF.lab windows server 2012 R2 and i have VDI services what the best Practices to do that........

Establish a trust between the domains/forests and use ADMT - Active Directory Migration Tool to migrate users, groups, computers and member servers over to the other forest.
Establish forest trust:

JSP not working on migrated domain

          I migrated my Weblogic 5.1 properties file to Weblogic 6.0
          using the console.
          I am unable to invoke the HelloWorld.jsp from a browser when I
          place it in my \applications\DefaultWebApp-myServer directory.
          My migrated server listens on port 7001 and I used the URL to invoke
          HelloWorld:
          http://208.139.197.151:7001/HelloWorld.jsp
          When I placed it in the examples'
          applications\DefaultWebApp-examplesServer it worked.
          My examples server listens on port 7003 and I used the following
          URL to invoke HelloWorld:
          http://208.139.197.151:7003/HelloWorld.jsp
          I'm attaching my config.xml for the migrated domain.
          Thanks,
          Shelly
          [config.xml]

Migrating domain name to Business Catalyst

After playing with Muse for a while I am looking to publish my site shortly. My current hosting package is up in January so would like to move over to Business Catalyst rather than renew that if possible.
Current hosting comes with free email addresses associated with the domain name, one of which is printed on my business card. Is there a way to keep and migrate this or do I need to lose it and reprint cards with an updated address?

You have a couple options. Since you used Muse I will guess you are thinking on using your free hosting.
The free hosting is very basic and does not have email support. You will still need to keep your domain registered with where ever it is now. Adobe doesn't host domain names.
So what you need to do after you go live is to:
Either upgrade it to a paid site and you can set the DNS at your current registerar to ns1.worldsecuresystems.com and ns2.worldsecuresystems.com
or
Just direct the A record in your domain settings where you have your domain to 192.150.2.140 and leave the MX record (email) with your current host.

Utility for migrating Domain Definitions from Oracle Designer to JHeadstart

Hi,
I am currently involved in the migration of a pretty substantial application, developed with Oracle Designer’s Web Server Generator, to the Oracle ADF technology stack, using JHeadstart. You know I am a big fan of JHeadstart for a number of reasons, but this particular application is ideally suited for JHeadstart (or I should say the other way round of course). JHeadstart and ADF can do everything Web PL/SQL Toolkit and the Web Server Generator can do - and much, much more. So both end users and developers of this application stand to gain from the migration.
However , due to special technical limitations in the Web Server Generators and the inventive hand-crafted work-arounds, I can use the JHeadstart Designer Generator migration tool only for th 60% really simple maintenance modules. The other 40% is better off with building from scratch.
There is one piece of information in Oracle Designer that is quite useful to me - that is the Domain Definitions. The sets of allowable values that power the dropdownlists and radio groups is needed in JHeadstart’s Application Definition file, and the current edition of the JHeadstart Designer Generator does not allow the migration of Domains (only complete modules are supported).
In this article: http://technology.amis.nl/blog/?p=1352 is describe a way to migrate a selected set of domain definitions from Oracle Designer to JHeadstart. This approach works for all releases of JHeadstart - from the early beginnings back in 2002 to the latest 10.1.3 release.
best regards,
Lucas

Probably better to ask / confirm this on the Warehouse Builder forum, but ....
I believe that OWB will always indicate a default value for NotNull columns. It might also do this for value-constrained columns (one where you have set Allowable Values directly for the column or for a domain associated to the column). In a normal situation, most column definitions are NullAllowed, but if you're doing some simple test runs and have nothing but key columns and some rudimentary data columns then you might have inadvertantly caused this situation.
hope this helps

I need help migrating domain user profiles in a refresh scenario using hardlinks.

Hi,
I am trying to create a TS that will capture all of the domain users and their settings from a machine. Then refresh it with a new O/S and restore the data.
I don't want to use a state migration point and I would prefer to save the data to the machine.
I am using a MDT TS with the standard TS steps.
There are two sections to USMT.
Online USMT
Offline USMT
I have set the Online USMT to capture locally by using hardlinks instead of copying files. But I read that this doesn't work unless you set the
OSDStateStorePath variable to a value. In my example I would need that to be a local folder on the machine. Does the folder have to exist on the machine?
There is also a condition that has been set on the Restore User State step.
OSDStateStorePath exists
If any of the conditions are true
Folder %OSDStateStorePath%\USMT exists
Folder %OSDStateStorePath%\USMT3 exists
I would like to get this working.
Thanks

Migrate domain accounts to new Mac

Hello,
Does anyone know how to migrate the home folder of domain accounts to a new Mac? I have an iMac running 10.7 which is joined to Active Directory. The home folders of the domain accounts are stored on the iMac.
I have a new iMac with Mountain Lion. Migration Assistant only sees the one local account's home folder on the old machine. How can I migrate the domain account folders to the new Mac?
Thanks,
Jack

"...my question is simply one of drive compatibility. Would the new Mac Pro be able to use the HDD from the old G4?..."
No. Not cleanly at all. The Mac Pro's use SATA drives while the G4 would have IDE drives. They are different interfaces. You could potentially get an adapter, something like this to get your connections worked out. However, this issue is still going to be where to physically put the G4's drive inside the Mac Pro. An SATA drive would fit into a bracket, and simply slide right into all the appropriate connections (Power & Data).
But the adapter card you'd have to install to make the IDE drive work, will also prevent it from working as well. Hope that makes sense.
An alternative may be to buy an external Firewire enclosure, ready for an IDE (or "ATA") drive and put the old G4 drive there. Simple and clean - guaranteed to work.
An internal solution does not seem possible to me.

Migrate Domain controller 2003 to 2008

Hi guys,
on my organisation we have two Domain controllers 2003R2.
the idea is to migrate to Windows 2008R2 because we have some servers running on Forest level 2000.
the network information are :
Currently servers
DC1 Server 2003R2 IP 192.168.2.2 ( contain all the FSMO rules )
DC2 Server 2003R2 IP 192.168.2.2 (( just replication server )
New servers 2008R2
DC01 Server 2008R2 IP 192.168.2.3
DC02 Server 2008R2 IP 192.168.2.4
the idea is add DC01 to the domain that DC1 manage, and migrate the FSMO rolles to the DC1.
after i demote the DC1 i want to reuse it IP on the DC01 on the server.
my question is if i reuse it IP, all statice client will remain working ?
the reason why i need to reuse the IT is because i have about 100 static servers running. and can't change them in one day.
Does Windows 2008r2 support Foreste Level 2000 ?
to add the second replication server do i need to follow some tutorial for this ?
Please advice !

Hello,
for IP changes still the same answer as in
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/870c5999-070e-4825-9e8b-4ee50131bdf3/reuse-domain-ip?forum=winserverMigration
and for the functional level, yes. See
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/understanding-active-directory-functional-levels for the details which level can be used with which OS version.
But you should think about raising the levels at least to Windows server 2003 or is there a specific reason that you need Windows 2000?

Migrated domain replication from FRS to DFSR. Domain query

Hello,
I run 3 domain controllers, all on the same LAN; the PDC is on 2008R2 and the others on 2012
I have today migrated from FRS to DFSR.
Without going through all the errors that dcdiag is now showing, I have a simple query. When our domain was setup, it was named COMPANY ie. not COMPANY.LOCAL. It has all seemed to work OK for ages but in DNS Forward Lookup Zones I see
the following folders:
_msdcs.company
company
company.company
In company.company are just the 3 domain controllers. Can I delete this folder?
Other question at this stage is about DNS forwarders. All LAN PCs point to the 3 x DCs for their DNS servers, and DNS Server is running on all 3 DCs. Should I put my ISPs DNS servers in the forwarders or not, and do I use root hints? (I have 2 ISPs so don't
know which ISP will be used by any PC as the router load balances)
many thanks in advance

Hi,
Yes, i think you could delete the folder, if the replication is ok.
You could use your ISPs DNS server as a forwarders.

Domain Controller, DHCP, DNS Migration from 2008 r2 to 2012 Essentials

I would like to migrate Domain Controller, DHCP, and DNS functions to a new 2012 Essentials server in a 2008 r2 domain. I would like the 2008 r2 server to remain as applications server. Is it possible to do this? I've seen in TechNet
a reference to this type of migration, but am concerned about the reference that after 21 days the 2008 will shut down. Is it that the server will shut down or the Domain Controller function on the 2008 will shut down? I will need the 2008 setup as is
for our application server, so I want to be sure that the migration will not interfer with that.

As long as your existing server is not also an SBS or other Essentials server, it'll be fine. The shutdown after 21 days occurs when multiple SBS or Essentials servers are on the same domain.

GW801 Primary Domain Netware to OES migration failure

I have started migrating my GroupWise from NetWare to OES. I have migrated a small post office to a server with no problems. I have created a new domain and webaccess on another OES server. My problem came when trying to migrate my primary domain from NetWare to OES. I used the migration utility from the same NetWare server and to the same OES server the small post office I migrated earlier. The migration utility ran without errors. I manually changed the IP's in the Domain and Link configuration, and also I have a startup MTP in our main post office to the primary domain which I changed (I needed this when running on the NetWare Cluster). I ran a database recover DB before and after the migration. All links were green but no traffic from post office to migrated domain or gwia domain to primary domain, queues were filling up. I was running out of time so had to revert back to the NetWare server. I changed the IP's in the Domain object and Links, and MTP on PO, ran DB recover again. Now it wouldn't work on the NetWare server. Luckily I ran a DBCOPY to another source before migrating. I copied over top the domain directory and that saved me.
Any ideas???
I'm running OES with NSS and long name support because I didn't want to deal with administration compatibility issues. I didn't have any problems using my workstation ConsoleOne for the small post office and new webaccess domain. But should I have been using ConsoleOne on the OES server?
On the NetWare server I had in the startup files "Remote Connections" user and password. These are NLM settings and error out when using them on OES. Do I still need a "Remote Connections" user for OES?
If I'm using long name space on the NSS volume do I have to worry about case sensitivity? I'll just copy the files over manually.

The default agent file and log locations are in /opt and /var. I would prefer to have these on my NSS volume. Is this good practice for OES?

kjhurni, thanks for your response. I hope this reply looks correct. I'm reply via my GroupWise Client. For some reason I have a problem with replying via the browser.
I figured the agents would have to stay put if I didn't want to deal with update issues in the future. I think I'll move my logs.
I used the GroupWise Migration utility. Actually I tried again last night with no luck again. The link configuration changes I know that the PO is trying to connect. Here is part of the log file.
06:32:36 094 MTP: GW HCH: Unable to open connection [8925]. Address = 10.0.59.210, Port = 7100
The Primary Domain thinks all is well when looking at the screen. Because it shows all PO's and Domains open. The Secondary Domain shows Primary is down.
I have been using the Migration utility because of the case issues. Which when I tried Dbcopy it didn't seem to change the files to lower case. I think I figured this out and that I need to have Unix name space running and not long. Otherwise it won't make it lowercase.
I just have a Training PO on this server, no MTA.
Do you think I should add secondary IP addresses for POA and MTA agents on the same server?
I do use odd ports for my secondary MTA's because they still run on a NetWare cluster.
Yes, I'm using OES/NSS and ConsoleOne on Windows. I have many administrators that I didn't want to educate, that's why I didn't go SLES.
This is my plan for my third try.
Change the volume name space to unix on destination server.
Make normal dbcopy on original server (This is what saved me the last two times).
Change ConsoleOne Domain and MTA paths.
Stop MTA
Use DBCOPY -m (it will probably work now that I'm using unix name space).
Delete mslocal, wpcsin and wpcsout folders.
Start MTA
Check Links and change If needed.
If I cannot get it to work. Perform a top down rebuild.
What do you think?

NSS is fine, but you can't really change the location of the agent
files. Log files, yes, but the agents and startup files are going to be
in the /opt/novell/groupwise/agents/bin and /share directories
Anyway, back to your question
You used which migration utility? the OES Miggui or the groupwise
migration utility?
I personally just do a dbcopy if it's an MTA as it'll do everything I
Need it to do.
On the destination OES2 server, you mentioned you had a PO on it. Did
you also have another MTA on that as well?
The only time I've seen issues is when you have multiple agents on
OES2. At that point you'll need to use dedicated IP's (there's a
problem it seems where Groupwise doesn't pay attention to the "bind to
specific" IP if it's running on Linux/OES2).
Also, I've had an issue where the stupid MTA had a "bad" configuration
(odd port # leftover from WAY back when) and no amount of rebuilding
would fix it. I ended up having to manually edit the startup file to
force it to use the configured IP and Port.
Then I stopped/started the MTA and it stayed loaded. Then I
stopped/started the POA and it loaded.
Then a few minutes it got communication to each other and seemed to
behave properly from that point on.
I am assuming that you are using NSS on your OES2 server and using
ConsoleOne on a Windows machine (as opposed to running on the actual
OES2 server itself).
