Migration from WCS to NCS

Hello,
I've valid SAU service contract with WCS. Can I migrate from WCS (7.0.230..0) to latest version of NCS by downloading it from software center or I should purchase some SKU for upgrading to NCS?
Any help welcome.

you'll probably be able to download the software, but to 'migrate' you need to by the migration SKU from your partner.
This allows you to take your current license count and get it 'rehosted' for the NCS.
HTH,
Steve

Wireless Migration from WCS to NCS and MSE/WLC 7.0.230 to 7.2.110.0

Hello,
I'm in the process of ripping out all of my wireless network and putting a new one in and have a couple of questions regarding code compatibility between the NCS, WLC, and MSE.
My current infrastructure consists of Wism running 7.0.230.0 code, WCS 7.0.230.0 code, and MSE 7.0.230.0 code. I am planning on migrating my WCS over to NCS 1.1.1.24 while maintaining the 7.0.230.0 code on my WiSM and MSE. Does anyone know if this will function properly and maintain location services?
Also, I am going to be replacing my MSE (3350) 7.0.230 code with redundant MSE (3355) 7.2.110.0 code running high availability. Will I be able to import the backups/config from the 7.0.230 code onto the 7.2.110.0 new servers? Or would it be better for me to load my new servers (3355) with 7.0.230 code, import the backups, and then proceed with the upgrade to 7.2.110.0. What is the best way to migrate my CAS licenses over to the new servers?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Well here is the compatibility matrix:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/5500/tech_notes/Wireless_Software_Compatibility_Matrix.html
As far as the MSE, I would probably downgrade it to 7.0.230.0 and then import the backup and then upgrade. I guess you can just try it at first if you want, it won't hurt. You can always clear it and then downgrade if you want.
Thanks,
Scott

Blocking users after migrating from WCS to NCS?

One of our people in our Helpdesk blocked a user mac because of an alert that said they were using the WiFi in an unsafe manner. Probably streaming or file sharing. Anyway when they blocked the mac they noticed that in the older WCS it would ask if you want to block this on all controllers. The new NCS he said did not have that option that he could find. So the user just authenticated with the same machine to a new controller which then had to be manually blocked.
I could not find in NCS the option to block the offending mac on all controllers either. This does not mean it isn’t there? Can we get a ruling on this? Bug? it worked in WCS.

We have NCS 1.1.0.58 and I believe when we block the Mac from NCS it only blocks if on the controller that it is currently associated to.

Can I migrate from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2. If so, what are the guidelines for migration?

Can I migrate from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2. If so, what are the guidelines for migration? Do we have any Instructions/steps?

Migration from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2 can be performed. If the customer wants to migrate data you need to first upgrade to NCS 1.1.1 You can download NCS 1.1.1 from Cisco.com if you have a valid service contract.
For the migration step involving NCS an evaluation license is sufficient. You can obtain an NCS evaluation license from http://www.cisco.com/go/license > Get Demo > Network Mgmt Products > Cisco Prime NCS Evaluation License.
Instructions for migrating data from WCS 7.0 to NCS 1.1.1 are available in NCS 1.1.1 Release Notes. Do not upgrade to NCS 1.1.2 as this release is not upgradeable to Prime Infrastructure 1.2. If you are ordering a Cisco Prime physical appliance (PRIME-NCS-APL-K9) be sure to select the NCS 1.1 image which you can later upgrade to Prime Infrastructure 1.2 after you have migrated your WCS data.
There is a post in the support forum which can be refered.

Hi,
A direct upgrade from a WCS release to Prime Infrastructure 1.2 is not supported. You must first upgrade to an NCS 1.1 release, and then upgrade to Prime Infrastructure 1.2.
Please check the links below:
Cisco Prime Infrastructure Configuration Guide, Release 1.2

Migrate from WCS 7.0 to Prime Infrastructure 1.2

Hi All,
I am looking for advice on the licensing and upgrade path for going from WCS 7.0 to PI 1.2.
At present I have a WCS licensed for 200 APs which is managing one controller and 150 APs.
I intend to use the Cisco Prime Upgrade Promotion
to order R-W-PI12-M-K9 (WCS 7.0 to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 Migration)
and L-W-PI12-100-M and L-W-PI12-100-M to match the number of licenses on the WCS.
Once Prime is installed I also want to manage another 50 devices, does that mean I have to purchase the
Cisco PI 1.2 Base License and Software (R-PI12-Base-K9) and another 50 Lifecycle licenses, or will
my existing 200 licenses from the upgrade suffice.
Sorry if it's confusing, but I didn't invent the licensing structure just trying to make sense of it all.
TIA

You'll be able to manage up to 200 devices/APs simpy using the upgrade from WCS to PI 1.2 as you described it. No need to order another base license or 50 lifecycle licenses.

Migrate from WCS 7.0.172.0 to Cisco Prime NCS

Is there anyway to migrate off of WCS to Prime NCS? We have a fully built WCS system with maps and all configs and was wondering if there was a way to restore to NCS.

Yes, this is possible. Here is the link from the NCS release notes on the process.

Migrating from NCS 1.1.2 to Prime 1.2? Possible?

According to this:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/prime/infrastructure/1.2/quickstart/guide/cpi_qsg.html#wp73107 it mentions that migrating from NCS 1.1.2 to CPI 1.2 isn't possible.
How can I get around this?

TAC has a patch to upgrade off of 1.1.2.12.
I don't recall but kinda' think it is to get to 1.3.0.20 and not to 1.2.1.12
Basically you take a backup from the 1.1.2.12 server then restore it into a newly build 1.3 server that has had the patch applied.
I've 3 or 4 and it works just fine...

Creation of domain issues - migration from weblogic 10.3.0 to 10.3.5 versio

Hello,
i would like to kindly ask for a help with following issue:
Basically we are migrating from the 10.3.0 to the 10.3.5 version. We are building the domain using the template in "silent mode". And when i try to create the domain with new weblogic 10.3.5 im getting some errors.
The command to run the creation of the domain is following:
${WL_HOME}/common/bin/config.sh -mode=silent -silent_script=${SILENT_SCRIPT} -log=${WLLOGFILE} >> ${LOGFILE} 2>&1
returnCode=$?
SILENT_SCRIPT contains following commands:
read template from "/local/wg372/BM/appl/config/NEW_DOMAIN_CONFIGURED.jar";
write domain to "/local/wg372/BM/appl/BmDomain";
set OverwriteDomain "true";
close template;
When i setup new env(solaris) with weblogic 10.3.5 im getting following error when the silent_script command (*write domain to "/local/wg372/BM/appl/BmDomain";*) is executed:

I tried to google for this issue, look into the weblogic documentation but with no luck.
So i would like to kindly ask, if anyone of you perhaps could give me a hint/advise with this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
thanks for the reply but im not sure if we are talking about the same thing. What i need is to upgrade the weblogic "DOMAIN" not the weblogic installation itself.
Anyway,
after some googling and testing im again stucked with another issue:
1. First i have created the old doman (10.3.0)
2. Then i have tested the domain with the new weblogic version 10.3.5 - as it should be (and is) compatible within those 2 versions
---> worked fine
3. Then via offline WLST(of weblogic 10.3.5) i have managed to create new template with command writeTemplate(nameOfTemplate.jar)
4. But when i try to create the new domain with the new template via WLST(of weblogic 10.3.5) im again stucked (im able to read the template in wlst but not able to writeDomain ) - error:
wls:/offline> readTemplate('/home/wg372/tmp/new_template.jar')
wls:/offline/BmDomain>writeDomain('/home/wg372/tmp/new_domain')
Error: writeDomain() failed. Do dumpStack() to see details.

I tried to have a look around for the "The application location must have write permission." problem but again with no luck.
Furthemore when i try to do the same with old domain template, with old version of WLST (of weblogic 10.3.0), i have no problems with creating of the domain.
Any ideas?
Ill keep you updated :-)

Removing Public Folders after migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013

Recently we migrated from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. We did not migrate Public Folders and are retiring them from Exchange altogether. I shut Exchange 2007 off for a couple of weeks to ensure 2013 functions properly and it does so we're
ready to decommission Exchange 2007. I was able to remove all the mailbox databases without a glitch. Using the EMC I click to remove the Public Folder database from Exchange 2007 and get the following message:
Error: The public folder database "server\storage group - Public Folders\ Public Folder Database" contains folder replicas. Before deleting the public folder database, remove the folders or move the replicas to another public folder database.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Terry,
If you run the following command does it come back with any public folders?
Get-PublicFolderStatistics -Server "SERVERNAME" | fl
If nothing comes back you can follow this guide to manually remove the public folder database (at your own risk) http://haythamalex.wordpress.com/2011/11/24/how-to-force-exchange-server-public-folder-removal/
Cheers,
Jack
I get alot of output from that command.

ActiveSync stops working after migrating from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013

We have started the migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. We've followed best practices and everything is working great except ActiveSync. I've performed Exchange migrations in the past so this is nothing new for me. I've also been referring to
a great guide which has been a big help,
http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/exchange-server-2013/migration-deployment/planning-and-migrating-small-organization-exchange-2007-2013-part1.html.
Once a user is migrated from Exchange 2007 to 2013, ActiveSync stops working properly. Email can be pulled to the device (Nokia Lumia 625 running Windows Phone 8) by performing a manual sync. But DirectPush is not working. The strange part is it's not affecting
everyone who's been migrated. Anyone who is still on Exchange 2007 is not affected.
At first I thought it was our wildcard certificate. 99% of our users are running Outlook 2013 on Windows 7 or higher but we do have a few terminal servers still running Outlook 2010. Outlook 2010 was giving us certificate errors. I realized it was the wildcard
certificate. Rather than making changes to the OutlookProvider I simply obtained a new SAN certificate. Although that resolved the issues for Outlook 2010 users, ActiveSync was still a problem.
Rebooting the phones and removing the email account from the user's device and re-adding it didn't resolve the issue either.
Then I performed an iisreset on the CAS server. This didn't help either. I didn't know it at the time, but I was getting closer...
I tried using the cmdlet Test-ActiveSyncConnectivity but it gave me the following error:
WARNING: Test user 'extest_0d9a45b025374' isn't accessible, so this cmdlet won't be able to test Client Access server
connectivity.
Could not find or sign in with user DOMAIN.com\extest_0d9a45b025374. If this task is being run without
credentials, sign in as a Domain Administrator, and then run Scripts\new-TestCasConnectivityUser.ps1 to verify that
the user exists on Mailbox server EX02.DOMAIN.COM
I started reviewing how Exchange 2013 proxied information from the CAS to the mailbox server and realized the issue may in fact be on the mailbox server.
I performed an iisreset on the mailbox server and all of a sudden ActiveSync started working again. Awesome!
I can't explain why. The only thing I can assume is when some users were migrated from 2007 to 2013 something wasn't being triggered on the Exchange 2013 side. Resetting IIS resolved the issue. I guess I'll have to do an IIS reset after I perform a batch
of migrations. Disabling ActiveSync and re-enabling it for the affected users didn't help - only the IISRESET resolved the issue.
If anyone has any information as to why this happens, please chime in. Also, if anyone knows why I can't run the Test-ActiveSyncConnectivity cmdlet, I'd appreciate the help.
Thanks.

Hi,
In Exchange 2013, the Public Folder is changed to Public Folder mailbox instead of Public Folder in Exchange 2007 database.
Due to the changes in how public folders are stored, legacy Exchange mailboxes are unable to access the public folder hierarchy on Exchange 2013 servers. However, user mailboxes on Exchange 2013 servers or Exchange Online can connect to legacy
public folders. Exchange 2013 public folders and legacy public folders can’t exist in your Exchange organization simultaneously. This effectively means that
there’s no coexistence between versions.
For this reason, it’s recommended that prior to migrating your public folders, you should
first migrate your all legacy mailboxes to Exchange 2013. For more information about migrating public folder from previous versions, please refer to:

Hi Oliver ,
Please suggest us.
In my environment we are in a plan to migrate from exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 (cross forest migration).
Source : Exchange 2007 with sp3 ru 10
Target : Exchange 2013 with cu2 ( new environment yet to be created).
Trust : Forest trust in place (two way )
Domain and forest functional level : 2003 in both target and source
Migration Steps :
Step1 :
We are in a plan to execute 'preparemoverequest.ps1' first in the target forest ,so that we will get the disable MEU
in the target forest.
Step2:
Then we are going to use ADMT to migrate users SID'S and password .
Step3:
Then we are going to move the mailboxes with New-moverequest
Please have a look in to our steps and suggest us ,whether we are going to proceed the migration in a right way or not
.Is anything needs to be changed please intimate me .
Thanks

Hey there,
Sorry for taking a little while to get back to you, i've been busy working on Hosted Lync deployments!
Use ADMT first, then when using preparemoverequest.ps1 script using the -uselocalobject cmdlet. This will then tie it up to the ADMT migrated account.

Migrating from Exchange 2007 to exchange 2013 ( special case )

Hello ,
what is the BEST scenario ( fastest , most efficient , most secure in terms of data loss ) , to migrate from exchange 2007 ( one server , all exchange roles installed on this server , 1200 mailbox ) , to exchange 2013 ?
knowing my environment needs to be connected to their mailboxes , 24/7 !
it's very frustrating .
and i have no clue even if this is the right place to post about this , if not please refer me as to where to post .
Also , All my domain controllers are 2008 .

It's fine to post your question here, and you are fine with Server 2008 Domain Controllers - that is a supported scenario.
If you haven't performed such an upgrade and you need to have 24/7 mailbox availability, I would seriously recommend you to duplicate the production environment on a test network and run through the upgrade at least once.
Most people neglect the Outlook clients requirements - they need to be updated and include several specific updates, which allow the automatic reconfiguration of internal clients. If you are preparing for this upgrade, you should be aware that all internal
Outlook clients switch to Outlook Anywhere. Clients that miss these updates will get connectivity problems.
Another common problem is the configuration of the Exchange URL - I mean the Exchange 2013 URL and the modified Exchange 2007 URL that will allow the co-existence. In your case, you definitely need to plan for co-existence - that includes requesting and
installing a new Exchange UCC (Multiple Domain Certificate) on both Exchange servers, configuring Split DNS (or preferably PinPoint DNS zones), and correct timing when replacing the existing Certificate on the Exchange 2007 server. Failure to configure the
correct URL (and it's quite easy to miss one, so triple check them) will get you in trouble.
Once you get through the switchover (switching the mail flow and Client Access through the Exchange 2013 server), move just a couple of test mailboxes and check the result.
Finally, if you are moving the Public Folders, make sure that the lock is really applied before you complete the process. Most people proceed right away and that get's the process stuck. If you can afford it (the mailboxes are already on the Exchange 2013
server at that point), just restart the Exchange 2007 server (after locking the Public Folders) and then complete the Public Folder migration.
Good Luck with the project!

Migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013

We are migrating from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. We have a new Exchange 2013 server will all of the roles installed, but none of the mailboxes have even been moved yet. We are seeing some of our users getting prompted to accept the self signed certificate
on the exchange 2013 server. Exchange 2007 server is still handling all of the mail flow and connectors. Any reason why some of our users would be prompted with the certificate for the exchange 2013 server even though their mailbox is still on exchange 2007.
Our users are on outlook 2010.

Can only access emails through OWA after migration from exchange 2007 to 2013

can only access emails through OWA after migration from exchange 2007 to 2013, in other words unable to access mails through outlook or from other Applications services.
needed RCA ... plz help..

Hi,
From your description, you can send and receive messages only when you use OWA after migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
In your case, I recommend you create a new test mailbox in your Exchange 2013 and check if you can send and receive messages on Outlook. If yes, it is recommended to create a new profile to solve this issue.
Hope this can be helpful to you.
Best regards,
