Move SSRS engine to new server, but keep same reporting databases

We have our SQL Server reporting services (2008 R2) setup as follows:
ServerA: contains the reporting services engine (including the report manager URL, web service URL and so on).
ServerB: Is the sql server instance that hosts the reporting databases for ServerA (ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB).
ServerA is EOL and will be replaced by ServerC. I have two questions:
1. How do we proceed to install Reporting Services on ServerC so that it points to the databases on ServerB.
2. How do we migrate the reports (and settings) from ServerA to ServerC. Will this be automatic by pointing ServerC to the exiting databases on ServerB.
Thanks.

Hello,
All reports / Settings are stored in ReportServer database, so if you Keep your database you have nothing to migrate.
Install SSRS without configuration on the new machine and afterwards do the configurtaion with Point the "ReportServer" database to ServerB.

Can we do a fresh install of TES 6.2.1 on a new server, but point to an database currently used by the older version (v5.3.x)

The current database is 2.5 gb, but it is already on SQL Server 2008, and doesn’t need to be upgraded.
In reading the documentation, it looks like the installer can install a fresh copy, which I’m assuming creates the requisite tables in the database. It can also update an existing install, along with updating the database table structure. What we weren’t sure of was if it could do a fresh install on a new server, but point to an database currently used by the older version of tidal. It does say ‘The database modifications are performed when the master is first started after the installation.’ in the upgrade section of 6.2.1 Quickstart Page 6-5. Hopefully that works regardless of if it was an upgrade or a fresh install.

We worked with one of their partners gssinfotech to create a custom runbook for "upgrade in place"
I think you might have to go to SQL2012 with 6.2.1 (there's a ton of benefits like always on that make BCP/DR with Tidal very smooth.) We've been Tidal 6 /SQL2012 for a while now so I forget. we're about 80% done with our 5.3.1 conversion
We restore our 5.3.1 admiral database to a sandbox SQL2012 server, run some cleanup script (if not upgrade in place, don't forget to set queue to zero and disable all jobs)
We installed a tidal Master then run every major rev and point to that database. (6.0,6.1,6.2,6.2 sp1)
The database gets upgraded during the process (we have some trouble with our "older" 531 so we do the same thing each time)
We then can use transporter to transport "legacy" 531 jobs to our pristine Tidal 6.2.1 (non-prod ) environment so we can take advantage of mapping files, etc. to switch things as needed
This gives a lot of flexibility to moving things in when one piece or job set at a time.. we use it to move job frameworks into nonprod Tidal 6 so that developers and other groups can review / asses / rewrite / test / their jobs on tidal 6.

Moving files to new drives but keep same drive letter

I need to fix a few things with the drives on my SQL server and was wondering if the following is a valid solution. The two main things are putting the files on drives formatted with 64k blocks (was the default of 4k before and I will be changing to 64k)
and adjust the SCSI ids.
I did a quick test and it seems to work but I’m not sure if there’s any hidden surprises waiting for me.
In a nutshell, this is the procedure I was planning:
- Stop all SQL services
- Add new drives with temporary drive letters
- Use the following command to copy the data over for each drive (folders are the default names created when SQL was installed): robocopy “S:\Program Files” “X:\Program Files” /COPYALL /DCOPY:T /E
- offline old drives
- Rename new drives to the old drive letters
- Reboot the server
Is there anything I’m missing or is that a valid option? Does SQL somehow mark drives in a special way or can my migration be that simple?
Thanks

What you described will work fine. I have done it that way many times.

New vcenter server but keeping database with nexus 1000v

I have been reading through all the details of migrating to new hardware for the vcenter server with the nexus 1000v. i wish to avoid doing the vswitch thing. If I am keeping the same database but just moving to new hardware and possibly new ip address I was hoping to be able to do something along the lines of.
Leave everything as is,
Reinstall vcenter on new server and point to existing database.
reconnect the esx hosts
disconnect the VSM
get the xml from the vsm
install on vcenter server
reconnect the VSM to the new server
all should be good.
From my reading it appears as tho most of the issues are around connecting to a fresh database.
Is there anything wrong with my assumptions??
Regards Justin

I have done this before but I always keep the same name an IP so that I don't have to reconnect each ESXi host and my vSphere Client users don't have to use a different name.
What I do in this scenario is build the new server with a temp name/IP.
Backup the vCenter DB and SSL certs (this is very important).
Power down the old vCenter.
Re-IP/Re-Name the new to match the old.
Copy the SSL certs to the proper location (C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\SSL)
Create your DSN and install vCenter using the old DB. The DB will be upgraded.
Your hosts will automatically connect to the new server.

HT1420 One of my computers had to re install and now I need to authorize my new computer but keep telling me I reached the limit for 5 computers. What do I do?

One of my computers had to re install and now I need to authorize my new computer but keep telling me I reached the limit for 5 computers. What do I do?

I have the same problem. What load of BS.
I feel so sorry for people that switched over from PC to mac because they were misled to believe that 'macs just work'.
Imagine someone without a degree in patience and computer engineering ever being able to work this problem out.
All I want to do it sync my iPad with some movies that I bought. NOPE I have apparently authorized more than 5 computers which is ridiculous because I own.... 1 computer. LOL.

Move Publisher backup to new server( Cold Standby Server) ?

We have CUCM cluster consist of 1 publisher, 4 subscriber and have installed a new node like another cluster's publisher(with diferent ip address from existing publisher) . When existing publisher goes down we will move publisher backup to new server and change publisher ip address to new server on existing subscribers.
is it posible ?
Our aim is using new server for publisher down issue.(like cold standby server but diferent ip address from existing publisher)
Or is there any better way to install publisher backup on on branch? When publisher goes down we will use the new server like publisher.

Re: NTP... you can have multiple NTP servers assigned, and only the primary NTP server is used for license MAC generation. As such, I would:
1) set the primary NTP server to be the real NTP address you want to use. This will not be accessible when you build the server with the old servers' IP.
2) set the secondary NTP server to an accessible NTP server. I do this by setting up NTP on the server you serve the SFTP backup file from. I use Meinberg NTP if this is a Windows box, it's free.
That way you can build the server (primary NTP not accessible, but secondary is so it's fine). Then after the restore, change IP address and it will start using the primary NTP server.
I presume deployment type refers to product and role .e.g. a CUCM Publisher, not a CUC server or CUCMBE publisher.

Content type hide on New button but keep enabled on Upload

I have several content types in my document libraries. There is one content type that I want to hide on the New button, but keep enabled in the Upload drop-down for content type.
How can I do this?
thanks!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to hide content type on New button but keep enabled on Upload.
There are two properties in SharePoint that affect the visibility of content types. These are:
Visible on New Button (can be set through the UI – List’s Settings – screenshot)
The Hidden property of the SPContentType object (can be set only through the object model)
There are some blog blogs thread for your reference:

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

How do I delete photos from camera roll but keep same photo in album

how do I delete photos from camera roll but keep same photo in album

You can't. The albums that you created on the iPad do not actually contain copies of the photos, but merely pointers to those photos. If you remove the photos from the camera roll, they will be removed from the iPad. Albums on the iPad are simply for your own organization on the device. Those albums cannot be imported to your computer either, since the photos do not exist in the albums.

I want to move Lightroom 5 (stand-alone) to a new PC but keep getting asked to purchase a CC subscription (I have Photoshop on CC already).

Here is the thing:
I have a subscription to CC, Photoshop CC.
I have a full version of Lightroom which is NOT the CC version.
I would like to now move Lightroom to my new PC. I downloaded Lightroom but it will not accept my original serial number.
Instead, I get asked to sign up for a CC subscription containing Lightroom and Photoshop, the latter I have already.
Thank you in advance and greetings from Cambodia,
Hanno

Redefinition of locations when move Warehouse Builder to new server

Hi
We have 4 DW/OWB environment, but only one design repository (development)
We have defined 4 configurations with 4 "sets" of locations.
The locatiosn are defined as host:port:servicename, because of bug, when defined as tns.
Now we are moving our DW to a new server and must redefine all locations.
After the movement we have to
1) unregister all locations
2) change all locations
3) register all locations
4) redeploy all mappings, process flows and procedures
This is a huge task, even if it can be automated via a OMBPlus script.
Does any one know about a script (SQL or OMBPlus), that can be used for redefinition of the locations in the design repository and the 4 runtime repositories, so we don't have to perform the above tasks ?
Best Regards
Klaus

Overwrite crystal report file name with new version but keep history

I am writing a Crystal Reports .NET SDK in C# code to upload a crystal report files from its destination to CMC folder on BO XI R2 Platform.
On "Upload Button" click_event, validate the two check boxes controls named "Keep History", and "Remove History". Once "Keep History" check box is selected, check If the SAME report file name exists in the same destination CMC folder, if Yes, overwrite it BUT Keep the History and all its associated objects like "recurring objects". If "Remove History" is selected, then remove the existing report and upload the new report file name.
Please provide me some codes on how to do this task. This is definitely a "WIN" - "WIN" effort and contribution to my Team Goals.
P.S. This is a similar scenario when you are uploading report on BO Enterprise R2 CMC.
When Uploading a new report to a folder but same report file name exists, the BO System will promt message "Report File Name" already exists. Do you want to Overwrite it?" If Yes, then system will overwrite the file but it will keep the history and recurring objects.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bien
