Move Lync from a VM to a Physical Machine

Currently we have Lync 2013 set up on a VM on a ESXi server, and I was wondering what would be the most efficient way to move it onto a physical machine? The way i see it there's 2 options:
1. Install Lync 2013 from scratch on the new physical machine, and delete the VM.
2. Grab the vmdk file and use vmplayer or some-other vitalization programme to create a Lync box, this way i dont lose the settings.
Before you ask "why would you want to move the VM from one machine to another, it's because we want to free up resources on the ESXi server and want to use our spare physical machine to its full extent. It wont only have Lync 2013 on it, it will have
vCenter, Veeam, and Windows 2012.
Thanks in advance!

Out of interest, Is it not possible to visualize your physical box as well, you could then Copy the VMDK to the second box and turn it on.
No need to setup a new lync server and migrate users.
If the physical box has Veeam, Cventer and Windows 2012 , why not do a  P2V ( physical to Virtual ) conversion. That way you would maximise the use of the physical box and improve/reduce server sprawl.
Not sure if there is a SAN involved here else you could also setup HA , depending on VMware/Hyper-V licensing.
You might be able to over commit the Host for a few hours depending on how much resources are available.
but that is a risk you take, in my experience this would be far easier, and worth buying a few extra RAM chips for the sake of not having to re-configure lync.

    Does anyone know how to move messages from the server to the local machine?

    You would start by clicking on the "plus" sign at the bottom of the list of mailboxes and choosing "New Mailbox" with the choice of "On My Mac". Then drag messages from server mailboxes to the new mailbox. If those messages also remain on the server, you'll have to delete them from that mailbox.

  • How to migrate data from oracle 9i database to new machine 11gr2 RAC ASM

    Hi Expert
    I need your expertise to advise me what is the best method to move data from oracle 9i database to new machine running oracle 11r2 RAC database with ASM.
    Currently my production server running on HPUX ORACLE 9I database with normal file system. My new server is running SUN SOLARIS SPACR 64 bit ORACLE 11gr2 RAC with ASM. What is best method to move data over so it will be consistent. Any guide can refer.
    Regard
    William

    Hi William,
    See the note in metalink Migration of Oracle Database Instances Across OS Platforms [ID 733205.1] to saw the Endian Format of your OS. If is the same you can use the RMAN to convert the database to another OS, if not the only option is using export/import (Transportable Tablespaces).
    To upgrade from 9i to 11g, see the note 837570.1 - Complete Checklist for Manual Upgrades to 11gR2.
    To migrate your FS to ASM the only way is using RMAN, so see the note - How to move a datafile from a file system to ASM [ID 390274.1].
    Hope this help you.
    Best Regards,

  • Move Users from OCS 2007 R2 to New Lync 2013

    I am trying to move users from OCS to Lync 2013 from within the Lync 2013 Control Panel and am getting an error that states "Cannot find Registrar pool. Verify that "FQDN of old pool" is a valid registrar pool.

    Give this Lync powershell command a go:
    Move-CsLegacyUser <user> -Target <Lync2013 Pool Name>
    Move-CsLegacyUser -Identity "Pilar Ackerman" -Target "atl-cs-001.litwareinc.com"
    Have you reviewed the OCS to 2013 migration documents?

    Did you add the OCS pool to the 2013 topology?

  • Best LKM to move data from with in Oracle from one schema to another Schema

    Hi Gurus,
    What is the best KM to move data from one schema to another schema within same oracle database.
    Thanks in advance

    Dear,
    If your source and target are on the same database server then you dont need LKM.
    You have to 1. create one data server for the database server
    2. Create one physical schema for your source and another physical schema for your target under the above created data server.
    3. Then create models for each above created physical schema
    In this case you just need IKM knowledge module
    Please refer http://oditrainings.blogspot.in/2012/08/odi-interface-source-target-on-same.html
    If your source and target are on different server then you must create two different data servers in topology. You have to use LKM.
    The best LKM to use is LKM oracle to Oracle dblink. But you should have proper grants to use it
    If your source has very few records you can go with LKM SQL to Oracle other wise use LKM oracle to Oracle dblink

  • Move Database from 10.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.1 on NEW SERVER

    Hello everyone and thank you in advance for any help ..
    I need to Move Database from 10.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.1 on NEW SERVER
    I am beginer in DBA Administration and I will try to explain my situation in my company.
    Well I have:
    - Two physical servers with Win 2008 R2 x64
    - Oracle Database 10.2.0.2 x86
    - The size of the database up to 10 GB
    - Replication is working on a script level with archivelog think i something like Data Guard or it is.. because I did not install this from begining.. I get this when I get job..
    - SSID VIZRTDB a schema PILOT
    In my company I deal more with system and network administration, and there I began now to work around this part of the DBA I can say that I am already comfortable with oracle database.. but here I stumbled on a problem, so I do not know where to start and who to ask..
    In a virtual environment I install the same as I have on physical server, only now I install Oracle 11.2.0.1 and Win 2008 R2 x64, and I made all the replication and which is identical to the production servers ..
    The idea is to export the database to 10.2.0.2 from production server and then imports it into 11.2.0.1 and I have already tried but I have a lot of mistakes at the end of the importa .. I tried the classic Imort / Export, and I will try to Impdb / Expdb (Data Pump) .. a lot of mistake like some stuff already exist etc..
    I think the question is what is best to do with the data pump or with some other tool to import database on new server 11.2.0.1? I mean what do you think is the best procedurally to do ..
    Since the moment I have two physical servers and is really complicated to do any upgrades, etc..
    Can I install on this two physical servers VMware Workstation software, and then on separate server I will have two virtual oracle databases so I can always move image and try upgrade, patch etc...
    Does this create a problem around the base of the network that will be somewhat slower, response, etc? .. Because as you see I work in television and I dont really no day that I can say that they can shut down the base for more than 4 hours ..
    Thanks in advance.
    Greetings.

  • How do I move Notes from one account to another?

    When I upgraded to Lion and ios5, all my Notes were on my Mac, iPhone and iPad, having been synched via USB and iTunes in the past. Some of these notes have been around for quite a while.
    Later, I edited a few notes and became aware that the chnages have not been synched to other devices. It turns out that somehow I have two acconts for notes on my ios devices - they are
    From My Mac - all the rest
    ICloud - 2 notes
    It seems that changes I make to notes that are in the From My Mac account do not get synched to the Mac or my other device. How can I change the account for those in the From My Mac account to the iCloudl account?

    Only notes in the iCloud account will sync with iCloud.  In order to move notes from other accounts you have to open each one, copy/paste the test into new notes created in the iCloud account, then delete the original in the other account.
