Move existing Exchange 2010 server to new hardware and reinstalling Exchange 2010

Hi so as the title states I need to Install Exchange 2010 on a brand new 2008R2 Server and transfer everything from the old Exchange Server.
Couple things though.
Existing 2008R2 Server w/ Exchange 2010 is also a Domain Controller.
Exchange needs to be uninstalled completely once Exchange is setup and going on new hardware.
Existing 2008R2 Server needs to stay up and stay a domain controller.
Questions are how do I go about this step by step?
Am I going to have problems uninstalling Exchange from the Domain Controller?  Will this mess up anything with the Schema?
Any how to guides would be great.  New Server will of course have a different name than existing Domain Controller server.
Any questions let me know.
Thanks!

Hi,
Here are the steps about moving the Exchange server to a new server which isn't a domain controller:
1.Install Exchange Server on a different computer.
2.Use Move Mailbox in the Exchange Task Wizard to move any existing mailboxes from the domain controller to the new Exchange server.
3.Rehome any public folders and roles held by the old Exchange Server computer to the new Exchange Server computer.
4.Uninstall Exchange Server from the domain controller.

  • Move / Migrate A Managment Server to New Hardware

    I want to move / migrate my existing SCOM 2012 SP1 Management Servers to new hardware running Server 2012 R2. We're going to leave the DBs where they are for now.
    It looks like I could just 'add' a new Management Server and then remove the older ones. Is it that simple?
    Orange County District Attorney

    HI,
    1. Install a new Management server in your management group.
    2, Move all SCOM agents from old MS to new management server.
    3. Move if there is any dependencyes on old MS to new MS (Like Exchange corelation engine serivce on MS for Exchange 2010 MP / Proxying for web application monitoring/ SMTP relay for SCOM email notification etc)
    4. properly uninstall Old MS to avoid issues (if not objects will left in resource pools)

  • Best Practice to migrate existing Message/Central Instance to new hardware?

    I've done some searching for this, but it all seems to be fairly old (I found one decent thread from 2008, but it just seemed outdated).  I would like to get some updated info & suggestions on a process to follow for this task.
    Here is some info about the current config:
    I have an existing SAP ERP 6.0 EHP5 system.  SID "XYZ"
    Everything is currently running on Windows x64.
    ABAP only config.
    It is currently setup as a distributed system.
    DB server is SQL, which is running on its own hardware as a dedicated DB server.  I don't need to touch this.
    Uses logon groups to distribute the load between 3 App servers.
    One of the App Servers is setup as the Message/CI server. This is what I am wanting to move to VM hardware.
    The other two App Servers are setup just as Dialog Instances.  VM already.  I don't need to touch these.
    What I am wanting to do:
    I am wanting to migrate the existing Message/CI server to VM hardware to get the current Message/CI system off of very old hardware.
    I need to keep the system with the same name & IP.
    I do not need/want to mess with the DB server at all. 
    Need to minimize downtime as much as possible.
    I do NOT want to go to an HA environment.  That is a different project for the future.
    Suggestions? I would like to hear what some of you have done.
    Minimize downtime?  I have a short maintenance window of a few hours coming up in the next few months, and would like to do this changeover during that downtime.
    How do I handle setting this up on the new hardware using the same name & IP, especially with the existing system still running.
    What I think I need to do: (Some of these may be out of order, which is why I'm asking for suggestions)
    Setup new Windows VM server, named differently than current Message/CI server (Done already).
    Run SAPINST to run Global Host Preparation on the new Windows VM server.
    Run SAPINST to setup ASCS Instance on the new Windows VM server.
    Skip the Database Instance installation, since I already have one running.
    Run SAPINST to setup Central Instance on the new Windows VM server.
    Copy all of the appropriate profile parameters that were on the old server.
    Start SAP and make sure everything is running and working correctly.
    Copy all job, spool files, etc. from the old server.
    What needs to be done in between those steps for the server rename & IP changes?
    Which of these steps can I do in advance of my maintenance downtime window, without it affecting the currently running system?
    I have a test environment that I am going to test this with.  I'm just trying to get a jump start on my instructions, so that I can hopefully do this quickly and easily.  I'm very comfortable doing the installs.  Just needing some guidance on how to handle this case.
    I'm open to suggestions, and any links you can send my way that show some more recent success at doing this.  Everything I keep finding talks about doing the migration for the DB.  I am not migrating my DB.  It is staying where it is.  I'm just wanting to migrate my Message/Central Instance to a VM, without affecting the users, and hopefully them never noticing the changes.
    Thanks!

    If you're using VMWare, there is a tool provided to virtualize existing systems.  Basically it makes a copy of the old system (while it is down) and recreates it as a VM with the same name, IP, etc.  I haven't double-checked to see if this process is 'officially' supported by SAP, and I don't know the technical details about how it's done or how long it will take (VMWare is managed by the Network Operations group in my team, so as the SAP sysadmin I'm basically a customer of theirs).  However, we have virtualized a few smaller systems that needed to get off failing hardware in a hurry and it worked very well, so I would expect it would for an SAP dialog instance as well.  As you're not copying a database, just the app server, it probably would fit within your maintenance window.
    If this route works for you, then there is no need to actually install the SAP system on the VM instance... you just copy the old server as-is, then make any adjustments required due to no longer needing old drivers, etc, plus potentially having different memory parameters.

  • How to migrate os x server to new hardware

    I am looking for the quickest easiest way to migrate OS X server to new hardware that I purchased. I currently have both DHCP and DNS services actively running.  I have VPN services running when needed.

    Reid,
    Thanks for your response.  I actually migrated everything that I needed over about an hour after I posted.  For DNS I simply copied all of the zone files in /Library/Server/named and restarted the DNS service.  DHCP took a little more investigation as I had to find where the configuration file was being stored.  I eventually found the configuration in /etc/bootpd.plist file that contains all of the DHCP info and copied it over to the new system.  Once I restarted all services everything was working fine.
    I took this approach rather than a direct cloning as I wanted a clean install of everything on the target system.  Also, as I mentioned before, I didn't have many services running that I needed to have running on the new configuration.  The VPN services that I was running had only one test user so recreating it from scratch was a non-issue.

  • Migration of BW system to New Hardware and Upgrade to NW04s

    Hi,
    I'm not sure this is the forum for this post but here goes...
    We have recently started a project to migrate our current BW3.5 system to new hardware (HP Superdome) and then upgrade to NetWeaver 2004s.
    To do this, we've taken a copy of our current Dev 3.5 system and moved it to the new hardware and will unicode and upgrade to NW04s.  Once this is complete, we plan to install NEW instances of QA and Prod with NW04s.  We will TRANSPORT all our configuration and reload all the providers in QA and Prod.  This will be a MASSIVE task as we have hundreds of infoproviders.  Additionally, I'm concerned we will not pick objects currently in 3.5 Prod system (e.g. custom queries/workbooks, infopkgs, process chains, variables, etc.) but not in current 3.5 Dev system.
    My question is this - can we instead take copies of the current QA and Prod (3.5) systems and migrate, unicode, and upgrade in the new Superdome hardware.  Per Basis, this is NOT possible due to the size of the current systems - approx 2.5 Terabytes.  But maybe half of the database is consumed by old PSA's, unused providers, etc.  If we were to clean up our current system and do a database reorg to reduce the database size, is it possible to do a system copy (Dev to Dev, QA to QA, Prod to Prod) --> any help/insight is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Senthil

    I had this experience in my previous project and i wanna share a with you. we have migrated our total bw landscape from alfa servers to HP superdome servers.
    we took all the copies of all the boxes( dev,QA,PRO) and migrate to superdome and upgrade to NW04. but in your case you are not taking copies QA and PRODUCTION. This is not realistic scenario. you got to move all the objects and configuration from dev to respective systems and load the data in the production.
    so you have to take all the copies of all the boxes and migrate to superdome and upgrage to NE04, is the right way of doing.

  • When deploying a single server on new hardware, do you virtualize it or not?

    There are a few questions that I've found on ServerFault that hint around this topic, and while it may be somewhat opinion-based, I think it can fall into that "good subjective" category based on the below:
    Constructive subjective questions:
    * tend to have long, not short, answers
    * have a constructive, fair, and impartial tone
    * invite sharing experiences over opinions
    * insist that opinion be backed up with facts and references
    * are more than just mindless social fun
    So that out of the way.
    I'm helping out a fellow sysadmin that is replacing an older physical server running Windows 2003 and he's looking to not only replace the hardware but "upgrade" to 2012 R2 in the process.
    In our discussions about his replacement hardware, we discussed the possibility of him installing ESXi and then making the 2012 "server" a VM and migrating the old apps/files/roles from the 2003 server to the VM instead of to a non-VM
    install on the new hardware.
    He doesn't perceive any time in the next few years the need to move anything else to a VM or create additional VMs, so in the end this will either be new hardware running a normal install or new hardware running a single VM on ESXi.
    My own experience would lean towards a VM still, there isn't a truly compelling reason to do so other than possibilities that may arise to create additional VMs. But there is the additional overhead and management aspect of the hypervisor now, albeit
    I have experienced better management capabilities and reporting capabilities with a VM.
    So with the premise of hoping this can stay in the "good subjective" category to help others in the future,what
    experiences/facts/references/constructive answers do you have to help support either outcome (virtualizing or not a single "server")?

    In the general case, the advantage of putting a standalone server on a hypervisor is future-proofing. It makes future expansion or upgrades much easier, much faster, and as a result, cheaper. The primary drawback is additional complexity and cost (not necessarily
    financially, but from a man-hours and time perspective).
    So, to come to a decision, I ask myself three questions (and usually prefer to put the server on a hypervisor, for what it's worth).
    How big is the added cost of the hypervisor?
    Financially, it's usually minimal or non-existent.
    Both VMware and Microsoft have licensing options that allow you to run a host and a single guest for free, and this is sufficient for most standalone servers, exceptions generally being servers that are especially resource-intensive.
    From a management and resource standpoint, determining cost can be a bit trickier.
    You basically double the cost of maintaining the system, because now you have two systems to monitor, manage and keep up-to-date with patches and updates (the guest OS and the host OS).
    For most uses, this is not a big deal, as it's not terribly taxing to maintain one server, though for some especially small or especially technically challenged organizations, this can be a real concern.
    You also add to the technical skills required. Now, instead of just needing someone who can download updates from Windows Update, you need someone who knows enough to manage and maintain the virtualization environment.
    Again, not usually a problem, but sometimes, it's more than an organization can handle. 
    How big is the benefit from ease-of upgrade or expansion?
    This boils down to how likely future expansion is, because obviously, if they don't expand or upgrade their server assets, this benefit is zero.
    If this is the type of organization that's just going to stuff the server in a corner and forget about it for 10 years until it needs to be replaced anyway, there's no point.
    If they're likely to grow organizationally, or even just technically (by say adding new servers with different roles, instead of just having an all-in-one server), then this provides a fairly substantial benefit. 
    What's the benefit now?
    Virtualization bring benefits beyond future-proofing, and in some use-cases, they can be substantial.
    The most obvious one is the ability to create snapshots and trivial-to-restore backups before doing something on the system, so if it goes bad, you can revert in one click.
    The ability to experiment with other VMs (and play the "what if" game) is another one I've seen management get excited about. For my money, though, the biggest benefit is the added portability you get from running a production server on a hypervisor. If something
    goes really wrong and you get yourself into a disaster-recovery or restore-from-backups situation, it is almost infinitely easier to restore a disk image to a machine running the same hypervisor than trying to do a bare-metal restore.

  • Migrate (N)AMP server to new hardware

    Hi,
    I have been looking for documentation on how to move an AMP configuration to
    new hardware (practically same OS-install, NW65SP7).
    Is there any info around 'cause I wasn't able to find any. And before I
    start dumping MySQL databases and Apache virtual hosts, I thought i'd ask
    here.
    On the origin server, webcontent and SQL db are placed on different volumes
    than SYS. I looked at MigrationWizard as well, but my replacement server is
    already in the same tree (new name).
    Any info, links or directions, appreciated.
    Regards,
    Marcel

    BakxM,
    > I have been looking for documentation on how to move an AMP configuration to

    I'd transfer the database and adjust Apache and PHP settings manually.

  • Migrating Hyper-V 2008 R2 HA Clustered to Hyper-V 2012R HA Clustered with minimal downtime to new hardware and storage

    Folks:
    Alright, let's hear it.
    I am tasked with migrating an existing Hyper-V HA Clustered environment from v2008R2 to new server hardware and storage running v2012R2.
    Web research is not panning out, it seems that we are looking at a lot of downtime, I am a VMware guy and I would do likely a V2V migration at this point with minimal downtime.
    What are my options in the Hyper-V world?  Help a brother out.

    Merging does require some extra disk space, but not much. 
    In most cases the data in the differencing disk is change, and not additional files.
    The absolute worst case is that the amount of disk space necessary would be the total of the root plus the snapshot.
    Quite honestly, I have seen merges succeed with folks being down to 10 GB free.
    But, low disk free space will cause the merge to take longer. So you always want to free up storage space to speed up the process.
    Merge is designed to not lose data.  And that is really what takes the time in the background.  To ensure that a partial merge will still allow a machine to run, and a full merge has everything.
    Folks have problems when their free space hits that critical level of 10GB, and if they have some type of disk failure during the process.
    It is always best to let the merge process happen and do its work.  You can't push it, and you cannot stop it once it starts (you can only cause it to pause).  That said, you can break it by trying to second guess or manipulate it.

  • Disable "Found New Hardware" and Stop it automatically installing.

    Hello All.
    Ok the Issue I have is below and can't seem to find the correct answer I need.
    I have two dell WYSE
    boxes running Windows XP. I have one with an SSD to do all my configurations on and one is a 4GB flash box for steaming on to using WYSE WSM.
    I have created a locked down version of XP with all sorts of registry hacks and Group policy to stop the end user accessing
    system files and control panel etc.. 
    I have it the way I want it but when I stream to the Flash Box, it picks up it has a 4GB SATA drive in it and installs it
    and creates itself a drive letter E:\ and puts an icon in My Computer.This going
    completely against what I wanted, I don't want the end user to have local drives. ONLY pendrives.
    What I have done:
    I have used group policy to restrict the view and access of A: B: C: & D: drives so it still allows me to use pen drives.
    I have disabled some services to stop searing for new hardware on start up which hasnt worked.
    There has been posts of going into device manager and disabling the hardware in there, but I cant do that on the FLASH box
    as its already streaming and its locked down so cant the configs have to be made on the SSD box which doesn't have the 4GB flash drive in.
    Any ideas?
    I hope there is enough information on here for an answer. 
    Lets pull our brain power together and get an answer. 
    As per other posts and infinite Google searches, I know that many other people has a similar issue.

  • Move existing Time Machine backups to new (larger) drive?

    If I get a larger external HD for Time Machine backups, is it possible to move all the existing TM backups from my current drive to the new HD, or do I have to start from scratch?
    Has anyone successfully done this?

    One more question to the Pros here, please
    I perfectly understand how to clone a drive with SuperDuper. But I am unsure about how to clone the Time Machine backup file.
    In Finder's sidebar under SHARED I see the Time Capsule. On Time Capsule I see 2 sparsebundle files, one representing my iMac backup and the other my Powerbook backup, as the names indicate. But in SuperDuper's "Copy" dropdown I am not able to open either of them.
    So I tried a different approach: I activated Time Machine on the Powerbook. A virtual drive labelled "Backup of Powerbook" pops up in Finder. Now I am able to choose this virtual drive in SuperDuper's "Copy" dropdown. I assume that this the correct file to clone?
    Then I would say "to" Disk Image and give it an identical name ("Backup of Powerbook"). Now I should choose the destination where to store the clone. This will be the new USB-HDD that I am going attach to Time Capsule.
    Image type would be "Read/Write sparse image"
    Right?

  • Can I move existing time machine backups to new, larger disk?

    I have used Time Machine with success for a long time. Now I have a much larger disk drive and want to move the old backed up files to the new drive, then continue building files after that.
    The current Time Machine backup file's Info says it is --get this-- 48.66 TB in size. But it sits on a 2 TB disk. I don't know if that's a mistake or a peculiar way to account for all the updates.
    In the Time Machine preference screen it says I have 169 GB of 2 TB available.
    Can I just copy this folder onto the new (4 TB) disk and tell Time Machine to select that as the current disk and have it continue to build and houseclean my accumulated history?
    (I've started that process, but it tells me I will be copying zillions of files and will take a boatload of time to do it. It gives me a message that there isn't enough space to make the copy. But, of course, there really is.)

  • Move data from old server to new one.

    Hi.
    As of now we have been using LCES 8.0 on old server. This old one had Oracle, WebSphere and LCES 8.0. Now we have a plan to establish new 3 servers. This mean we can establish web server, application server and Oracle server and will dispose of the old server. I want to know what data must be moved to new server except for web server one to take over the old server's environment. Oracle export data that LCES user on oracle created is necessary Is it the enough? If no, could you tell me the information about the data?
    Best Regards.

    Today I checked the above condition.
    The nessary files are Database and LCES temporary folder where I set on installation.
    Best Regards.
