Move Adobe Connect 7.5 to new server hardware

What is the process for moving Adobe Connect to new server hardware. We are currently running Adobe Connect Pro 7.5 (7.5.1.0.100) on a Win2K3 SP2 server. We would like to move Connect over to new server hardware running Win2K8 R2 (64-bit). The Connect database will remain on a separate Win2K3 SP2 / SQL 2005 sp4 server.
Unless it will pose a problem, the NETBIOS computer name will be different. However, the IP address and FQDN will remain the same.
What is the recommended procedure for doing this?
PS - Shortly after moving to new hardware, we plan to upgrade to Connect 8. Is it better to upgrade first, then move to new hardware? Or vice-versa?

Hi,
moving to new hardware is basically a new install on the new server, then moving over backed up content, then reconnecting to the database.
It makes no difference if you upgrade first and then move hardware or move first and then upgrade. I'd move first and make sure Connect works fine on the new hardware, then upgrade.
Here are some steps that should work.
1. make sure your new hardware, OS and SQL Server are supported
     http://help.adobe.com/en_US/connect/8.0/installconfigure/connect_8_install.pdf
    (for 7.5 check the requirements here: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatconnectpro/systemreqs/#proserver )
2. Take a backup of your current content directory and all customised config files.
    (the config files will be a reference to restore SSL or other modifications, do not just move them back in once upgraded).
3. Take a backup of your database and make sure you know the login and password to your SQL server.
4. Stop the services on the old server
5. If also moving DB, attach your DB backup to the new SQL host.
6. Install Connect on the new hardware.
7. Do not start the services yet, first restore the backed up content.
8. start the services, bring up the console and connect to the DB.
9. check your settings in the console, a restart might be required first.
10. Does the login page load?
11. Follow the install guide from step 1 to re-apply SSL config if required (in Connect 8 this is done slightly different than in C7)
Changing the windows machine name, can cause trouble, not always, but it's easiest to just re-use the name on the new hardware.
If that's not an option, an entry in the conenct DB needs to be updated:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407446.html
I am fairly certain these steps will work, but cannot test this and I do not know your exact environment, so I can give no guarantee this will work. It is always good to just test the move to new hardware and if things go wrong, bring the old system back into production and contact support.
Good luck!

Can I move adobe acrobat 8 to a new pc without the original cd?

Can I move adobe acrobat 8 to a new pc without the original cd?

As long as you have your license key, you can install it as long as you can get hold of a copy of the CD or installation files (that is what TSN was saying might be difficult). However, you might what to mention the OS you are migrating to. That may be a compatibility issue that really suggests you should buy an upgrade (I think AA8 qualifies for the upgrade -- you will need to check at the Adobe Store). The upgrade does require you have the previous license number available.

I have tried to move Adobe Acrobat X to a new iMac

I have tried to move Adobe Acrobat X to a new iMac with OX 10 (Yosemite) I get an error message "Error 1" with further details, to uninstall and reinstall the product. How can I do that? I do not wish to move to a subscription service such as Adobe XI.

http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html Please make a backup of the setup file this time. Generally this should be to a CD or a backup HD. Be sure to keep you S/Ns also.

My credit card expire. I can't login to Adobe Connect for add my new credit card for payments. What can I do?

Oh dear...
You must be accessing the iTunes Store in the U.S. You can't buy an iTunes card in your country (i need to know this), so try making a new account with the payment option as a Visa Credit Card. Have you bought that Pre-paid Visa credit card yet and loaded money on it? If you haven't, you will probably have to.

SBS2008: Move email from Exchange 2007 to new server with Exchange 2013

We have an old server (SBS2008) and plan to buy a new server with (Server 2012). I need to move all the exchange emails, contacts & calendars to the new server. We will no longer use the old server.
Is there a document or migration tool that will help me understand how to move this data form the old exchange server to the new one?
Old Server:
SBS2008 running Exchange 2007
New Server:
Server 2012
Exchange 2013
Any help is appreciated!

Hi Dave,
It can be done, and as Larry suggested you will consider two Server 2012 installs in order to achieve an environment that looks like your current SBS roles; Exchange 2013 on an Active Directory controller isn't a good long-term solution (SBS did this for
you in the past).
For your size operation, a virtual server host, with a Windows Server 2012 license, and two virtual machines would probably be a suitable design model. In this manner, you have Server 2012 license that permits 1 +2 licenses (one host for virtualization,
up to 2 Virtual Machines on same host).
There's no migration tool. That comes with experience and usually trial and error. You earn the skills in this migration path, and for the average SBS support person you should plan on spending 3x (or more) your efforts estimate in hours planning your migration.
You can find a recommended migration path at this link to give you an idea of the steps, but its not exactly point by point going to cover you off for an sbs2008 to server 2012 w/exchange 2013 migration. But the high points are in here. If it looks
like something you would be comfortable with then you should research more.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/infratalks/archive/2012/09/07/transition-from-small-business-server-to-standard-windows-server.aspx
Specific around integrating Exchange 2013 into an Exchange 2007 environment, guidance for that can be found here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj898582(v=exchg.150).aspx
If that looks like something beyond your comfort level, then you might consider building a new 2012 server with Exchange 2013 environment out as new, manually export your exchange 2007 mailbox contents (to PST) and then import them into the new mail server,
and migrate your workstations out of old domain into new domain. Whether this is more or less work at your workstation count is dependent upon a lot of variables.
If you have more questions about the process, update the thread and we'll try to assist.
Hopefully this info answered your original question.

How can I move the distribution database to a new server?

I need to migrate an old distribution database to a new VM. My understanding is that you can detach/attach the distribution DB to make this easier. What are the 'gotchas' in this process? Do I need the detach/attach the system databases as well? The distributor
is facilitating data from Oracle to SQL Server.
Another question.. what are some good benchmarks for figuring out how much horsepower I should have set up in my VM that running distribution?
Thanks,
phil

Hi philliptackett77,
As your description, you want to migrate the distribution database to a new server. Based on my research, you need to remove the replication, create the distribution on the new server, and recreate publication and subscription according to Satish's post.
So you don’t need to detach or attach the distribution database or system databases.
To make this process simple, you could use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) to generate scripts and run the scripts to recreate publications and subscriptions or drop publications and subscriptions as the screenshot below. Checking ‘To create or enable the
components’ generates the script for creating the publications and subscriptions, and Checking ‘To drop or disable the components’ generates the script for dropping the publications and subscriptions.
Firstly, please use SSMS to generate the script which is used to create publications and subscriptions.
1.Connect to Publisher, or Subscriber in SSMS, and then expand the server node.
2.Right-click the Replication folder, and then click Generate Scripts.
3.In the Generate SQL Script dialog box, check ‘To create or enable the components’.
4.Click Script to File.
5.Enter a file name in the Script File Location dialog box, and then click Save. A status message is displayed.
6.Click OK, and then click Close. For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152483.aspx
Secondly, follow the steps above, check ‘To drop or disable the components’ to generate the script used to drop publications and subscriptions. Then run the sript to drop publications and subscriptions.
Thirdly, please disable distribution using Transact-SQL or SSMS following the steps in the article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152757(v=sql.105).aspx.
Fourthly, please create the distribution at the new server using Transact-SQL or SSMS following the steps in the article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms151192.aspx#TsqlProcedure.
Last, please run the script generated in the first step to recreate publications and subscriptions.

Can't connect to/sync using new Server setup

Hi all,
I have set up a new Server and cannot seem to use it to sync, which is its purpose -- requests time out. I also cannot "Connect to server" from the Mac it resides on (suggested troubleshooting step someone gave me). Here's the background:
I'm a brand-new didn't-wannabe server administrator with OK but rather rusty technical knowledge.
I've set up Server in order to provide a local (non-Cloud-based) WebDAV sync server for OmniFocus as Apple in Yosemite (as I understand) removed the ability of 3rd party developers to use the OS's built-in WebDAV server to sync. So Apple stopped supporting the developer, the developer stopped supporting me, and here I am, doing the best I can, but I'm in over my head at the moment.
Here's my system:
MBA, mid-2011 / 4GB / 250 GB
HD with only 6GB free but I've gotten rid of the alert
Mac OS X 10.10.2
OS X Server 4.0.3
OmniFocus for Mac 1.10.6
iOS 6.1.6
OmniFocus for iPhone 1.15.1
I changed defaults for both the long and the short names of the server, edited them in the server overview window (the changed short name didn't take!). In the Settings tab of same, nothing is checked, which I wonder about. In Access, at the moment out of desperation I'm allowing all users and all networks, and still no dice.
In File Sharing, I turned file sharing on, set up my sync folder and shared it (again, out of desperation) with all users and all networks.
In the log, besides a lot of (to my eyes) gobbledygook, I see something like the following lines which seem significant, every time I try to sync from OmniFocus, either on the Mac itself or on my iPhone:
Apr 6 12:44:35 [servername].local OmniFocus[1642]: SecOSStatusWith error:[-34018] The operation couldn\u2019t be completed. (OSStatus error -34018 - Remote error : The operation couldn\u201a\304\364t be completed. (OSStatus error -34018 - client has neither application-identifier nor keychain-access-groups entitlements))
I can't find any documentation on the error codes.
Omni Group staff advised me to try connecting right from my Mac to the server also on the same Mac through Finder > Go > Connect to Server. If entering the server address (https://[servername].local), it times out in about 10 minutes in the same way OmniFocus does. In the same dialog, if I choose browse instead, I find that within the Server folder are aliases to both [servername] and [servername.local], and they both behave as if they were opening the very top level of my HD.
I'm at a loss for what to try next now, so would appreciate any sage advice.
Thanks!

I'm also wondering, from somewhat similar problems I've read, if permanent IP addresses might make a difference?
At the moment our household router gets its IP via DHCP from our telco provider, and I believe it in turn provides DHCP IPs to the devices on our home network. As this is working fine at the moment and I remember the old "if it ain't broke" adage, I don't intend to try changing this setup unless someone with some experience tells me I ought to. But I thought I'd throw it out there.
All "Connect to Server" and sync attempts are still timing out and this is a work-critical application I need to get running, so any info that could point me in the right direction is appreciated. Even if it's some piece of documentation I need to read. Thanks.

Move Certification Authority Web Enrollment to new server issue.

Hello,
i'm trying to move the Certification Authority Web Enrollment from one server to a new one. I've got a fully functional server where i can enroll any certificate i want and everything is working properly.
on the new server i configured I'm facing a problem that seems to be an impersonation issue. Indeed, while i try to enroll a certificate i get the following error msg from the interface :
Request Mode:
newreq - New Request
Disposition:
(never set)
Disposition message:
(none)
Result:
The RPC server is unavailable. 0x800706ba (WIN32: 1722)
COM Error Info:
CCertRequest::Submit: The RPC server is unavailable. 0x800706ba (WIN32: 1722)
LastStatus:
The operation completed successfully. 0x0 (WIN32: 0)
Suggested Cause:
This error can occur if the Certification Authority Service has not been started.
an i can also see on the CA it targets the following application error event :
Event 18209, ComRuntime:
The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local access permission to the COM Server application C:\Windows\system32\certsrv.exe with APPID
{D99E6E74-FC88-11D0-B498-00A0C90312F3}
to the user NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON SID (S-1-5-7) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.
While i register a certificate on the server were it all works fine i can see event in the Security log on the CA that authenticate the user i generate the certificate with, where-as with the server were it does not work, all seems to be anonymous.
IIS configuration are identical on both servers and the delegation has been set identically too ( ADUC object )
Any idea how what I could check next?

How to move or copy a database to new server

Greetings All,
Oracle Enterprise 11g r2, on a Windows2008 platform.
I would appreciate some advice regarding moving/copying a database to a new server. Some of the information below may not be pertinent to my goal. Please be patient as I am a newbie.
I have installed oracle and created a database (prod03) on the new/target server. I created the same tablespaces (and datafiles/names) as are on the existing/source server (prod01), except that on the new/target server (prod03) there is 1 more data file for the USERS tablespace than there is on the existing/source server (prod01).
My initial thought was to perform a expdp full=y.
The database contains 220 schemas, when I performed an expdp full=y estimate only it indicated 220Gb. I think this would take much more time to export and then import than what I hope to be able to do below.
I would like to be able copy the datafiles from the source server prod01 server over to the target server prod03, some names/locations will change.
One scenario I found (http://www.dba-oracle.com/oracle_tips_db_copy.htm) was to backup the control file to trace on the old/source server (prod01). Copy everything to the new/target server. Tweak the file that creates the new control file.
Step 4 of the above mentioned link says to change
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "PROD01" NORESETLOGS to
CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "PROD03" RESETLOGS
Notice the change from REUSE to SET. I am not sure if this is right for my situation.
Could I issue a backup control file to trace on the target server (prod03), add the reference to the additional datafile. Copy over all of the datafiles for all of the tablespaces (users,system/sysaux/undotbs1,temp),
Delete the existing control file, and generate the new control file.
Then perhaps issue a startup resetlogs or startup recover?
Thanks for your time,
Bob

So unless someone provides me with an rman script I can't use rman.google is your friend
Simply telling someone to get the experience dose not help. So your post is useless to me.I suppose you do not have experience with "old-school" manual cloning as well.
Import of entire 200GB DB with datapump or imp will also require some experience otherwise it will be a long-long exercise.
So, basically, any advise may be useless to you, because of your "the fact is I don't have the experience. Nor do I have the time to obtain the experience."

Can I install Adobe Connect version 8 on a virtual server?

Hi everyone. We are looking to upgrade our version of Adobe Connect and to put it on a virtual server. Our current enviornment Adobe Connect v8 on a physical server.
Is this possible?
Is it supported?
Has anyone done this and has experienced no problems?
thank you in advance everyone.
scott

Hey Scott,
Many customers today run Adobe Connect 8 virtually on WinSrv 2008 64-bit. First make sure you read the page link below that details our tech specifications and that your server is compliant.
http://www.adobe.com/products/adobeconnect/tech-specs.html
Also, you will want to discuss where your DB will reside (on that same virtual or a separate one). The biggest improvement you will see is with performance. The speed of the server alone is enough to upgrade. Microsoft definitely made some improvements there...
I am assuming you know all the usual WinSrv settings such as Domain, etc...so will not discuss those here..

Scott@Adobe

Move/migrate ZFD to a new server

Using ZFD with the Sybase SQL Anywhere database. AWI, Inventory are the only processes (other than Sybase of course) that we need running.
The rest is "pure" eDir I believe (NAL, Remote Control)
The issue is that I need to move/migrate the ZFD 7 stuff from NetWare to OES2 SP2 Linux, but I cannot use the Identity transfer option
I THINK I can basically install the ZFD code onto the OES2 server, mount or copy the data on the NSS volume on NetWare to the data on OES2 server, and then edit the eDir objects to use the correct paths/IP?
Or am I wrong in thinking that.
ZCM is not an option at this point yet (due to a few bugs and some other logistical issues).
Oh, I don't care too much if I have to redo the Sybase databases from scratch. And I will also change the DNS for ZENWSIMPORT appropriately.

If you are on OES2 SP2 also apply the IR4a HP3 (NOVELL: Downloads - ZENworks 7 Desktop Management on Linux Support Pack 1 Interim Release 4a Hot Patch 3)
Then configure a new ZenWorks Server policy so the settings are as you want em, move the DNS pointer to the new server, reconfigure PDHCP and your User/Workstation policies to reflect new paths where applicable.
That should cover most points... ZDM is quite easy to move about.
Hope that helps,

Move appset to new server and new version

Hi
I am currently on 5.1, SQL 2005 and Windows 2003, where we have some performance issues. To see the effekt of an upgrade I would like to move my current appset to a new server with BPC 7.5 SQL 2008 and Windows 2008.
How should I do this?
Can I make a clean installaion of BPC 7.5 on SQL 2008 and then restore the 5.1 version appset into 7.5.
What is the recommended way to do this.

Hi,
There is nothing to worry.
You need to take the backup from the 5.1 system and restore it in 7.5 MS. After the restoration, please make sure that all the components are working fine or not. You might have to look at the security once again and the reports and the input schedules. There might be small small alterations / modifications required. However, there wont be any big development. There is only one area which needs little more concentration - SSIS packages. You might have to re-build the SSIS packages in SQL 2008. Another thing is that if you have any macros or VB in your templates, you might have to revisit them.
As a whole, I dont see much challenge in this whole process.
Hope this helps.

Move apps tier to new server

Hi all,
here we have 2 node setup
node 1 : apps + db (cm + db)
node 2 : apps (web + forms)
requirement is we want to move node 2 to new server bcoz os team wants to do some maintainance on node 2.
is this possible to move only node 2 (web + forms) to new server through rapid clone n sync with existing cm and db node or we have to move entire setup to new servers
links n MOS doc ids highly appreciated
versions:
apps : 11.5.9
db: 9.2.0.8
os : RHEL 4
Thanks,
Haafiz

Yes it is possible and all you need to do is the following (you don't need to move node1):
- Install OS on the new server + OS pre-req software and packages
- Run preclone on node 2
- Shutdown the application on node 2 and copy the files to the new node
- Run postclone on the new node
- Clean FND_NODES and run AutoConfig

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?
