Moving DP Content to a New Server With Same Name

We are currently in the middle of a server OS refresh from 2k8 to 2k12 R2. Some of the servers are DPs so I need to move the content from one server to another. The big problem is that the new server must have the same name.
I've read this thread http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1ffcaa47-9bf8-476d-965e-28350a6bef1b/move-content-from-old-dp-to-new-dp-at-same-remote-site?forum=configmanagerapps which kind of covers my issue but I presume this person was going to
a server with a new name.
Has anyone done this? Is it possible?
Unless there is something clever the only way I see to do this is to uninstall the DP role from the current server, remove the current server from the domain, add the new server with the same name, re-install the DP role and then re-distribute all the content
to the new server. I'd rather not do this as the DP is on a remote site so all the content will be going over the WAN.
I am running SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3.
Any ideas?

Hi,
>>So can I pre-stage from the old server to the new server or does the pre-staging have to be done from the site server?
Yes, you could prestage content from the old server to the new server. Prestaged content files could be created from Configuration Manager Administrator Console.
>>What is the order of the process?
The following blog could help you to prestage content.

Moving oracle database to a new server with an upgraded oracle software

Hi Guys,
Here is the scenario, we have an existing Oracle 9.2 demo database on a Solaris 5.9 server. I was asked to transfer this to another server with same OS but with an Oracle 10g software installed. The original plan was to mount the exisiting Oracle home from the original server to the new server and from there copy all the database files and bring up the database.
Here are the steps:
- Issue an "alter database backup controlfile to trace", get the script from the trace file
- Copy all database files to the new server
- Edit parameter files
- Do a startup mount recreate the control files, do a recover database, and startup the database on the new server.
I suggested that we to a transport tablespace but due to limited resources and that the 9.2 database does not have this feature we can't perform this process. I also can't do a exp/imp of the database since we really have limited resources on a disk. I was wondering if the steps I enumerated above are correct? Or would result in an error?

Hi,
why you want to recreate the controlfile, does the mount point locations are changing from old server to new server?
if you recreating controlfile new incarnation starts, keep in mind.
you have the downtime to upgrade.. :)
shutdown
take cold backup and move to new server.
create the directory structure as exist in PFILE including CRD files.
install software
startup upgrade
upgrade database(need to add sysaux TBS)
shut immediate
startup

Delete existing RecordStore and then open a newer one with same name

Hey All,
I'm working in J2Me for Nokia S40 DP2.0 SDK 1.0.
I want to delete my existing RecordStore (i. e; Products) and then open a new RecordStore as same name(Products) But
There is an Exception thrown that RecordStore is Open;
my deletion process is given below :
public void deleteRecStore(String recordName) {
if (RecordStore.listRecordStores() != null) {
try {
RecordStore.deleteRecordStore(recordName);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
public void createRecStore(String recordName, Vector data, int insertType) {
if(recordName.equals("") && (recordName != null)) {
try {
if(insertType == this.NEW_REC) {
rs = RecordStore.openRecordStore(recordName,true);
this.closeRecStore();
this.deleteRecStore(recordName);
rs = RecordStore.openRecordStore(recordName,true);
Can anybody pls help me...
why I can't open a new recordstore like this ??
If there any process then what is that ???
Rania...

This question belongs in the [CLDC and MIDP forum|http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=76]. I'll move it there in an hour or so.
I would suggest that in addition to printing the stack trace of any Exception, you could append the Exception.toString() to a Form (or display it in an Alert) to see whether any exceptions are being thrown.

Moving to Fresh Windows OS Install on Server with Same Name

We have been having a ton of stability problem that all seem to point to the OS or Disk sub-system. The server guys want to to reinstall the Windows OS on the Server that has the DB, Admin and CCM nodes. The OS is on its owen drive and none of the Oracle files will be effected and the server will have the same name/IP Address.
I am thinking that I would just have to run Autoconfig for the DB Tier and for the Apps Tier. Or should I run adcfgclone.pl dbTier and appsTier?

Chris,
If you are going to do a fresh OS installation, then you would need to do the following:
- Run preclone on the database/application tier nodes
- Take a backup of the database/application files
- Install a fresh OS
- Install all pre-req. software (MKS, Cygwin, VC++, ..etc)
- Restore the database/application files
- Run postclone on the database/appication tier nodes
If you are going to reinstall the OS, then you would need to take a backup and relink all executable files. Running AutoConfig in both cases once you are done would be a good idea.

New server with same software allows access to private files

I purchased a new mac mini with Snow leopard server software and had the Apple Store transfer data from the old server (also Snow leopard) to the new mini. The server only stores files at this time and acts as a Central File Server. Before the transfer, we had individual file folders on the server which were accessible only by the owner of that folder. Now, however, the folders are all open to anyone who has access to the Central File Server. How can I limit access to each one of the six personal folders on our Central FIle Server?

Check the permissions settings on the folders in Server Admin. My first guess is that the "Others" permissions are set to Read Only or Read and Write.

Automator and applescript to copy new files in a folder with same name as parent folder

I have an iMac with a pictures folder (Finder folder) containing several subfolders with pictures. As per now, all these subfolders are imported into an iPhoto library (and the structure of the Finder pictures folder is thus maintained: The iPhoto events are named the same as the Finder subfolder). I.e. I have not created any albums in iPhoto.
I have also set up a workflow, where new iPhone photos are automatically being synced to specified Finder folders within the iMac pictures folder. So what I want to do is to make a workflow to import potential new photos from week to week into the existing iPhoto structure. I know iPhoto has this Autoimport folder, so this one is unpacked and "mapped". So, this is what I´m hoping to do:
Automator (iCal - want to do this on a weekly basis):
- Get specified Finder items -- set to target folder = iMac pictures folder
- Get folder content (with subfolders)
- Filter Finder items
     - Items from the last 7 days (which then would be any new files created last week)
- Applescript/shell script loop(?)
     - Get folder name for each file´s (from previous step) parent folder
     - Create new folder with same name as the file´s parent folder (if not already existing) under the iPhoto Autoimport folder
     - Copy the given file into the folder from above
- Run iPhoto application (Automator task), which then should just auto import the new photos according to the Finder folder structure
Whith the workflow above, I aim to maintain the existing iPhoto structure, and just import new photos into the existing structure. Creating folder names under the Autoimport, similar as the existing Finder folder names / iPhoto events should make it possible to have the new files imported under the existing event, right?

Anyone?
I have now switched to Aperture (from iPhoto) due to Aperture´s capability to handle Finder folder structure, and due to the possibility of having the pictures within Aperture as referenced files to the pictures within the Finder folders (i.e. possibility to delete pictures from both library and Finder folder at the same time).
So I have a superior Finder folder called "Album". Within "Album" I have several subfolders (sub albums) containing pictures. The "Album" folder with subfolders are imported into Aperture as "Projects and albums", and the pictures are uploaded within the Aperture structure as referenced files. So for now the Aperture structure is more or less a direct mirror of the Finder folder structure, whereas "Album" is the project.
And this is my current workflow in Automator, but I´m searching help with my Applescript:
- Get specified Finder items (target folder = the superior Finder folder "Album")
- Get Folder content
- Filter Finder items (to look for potential new files to import into Aperture)
     - Kind is not folder
     - Date created last X days
The output files from this task enters an Applescript
on run {input, parameters}
       repeat with f in input (**Loop**)
               tell application "Finder"
                      set fileName to name of (f)
                      set parentFolder to name of container of (f)
                      tell application "Aperture"
                             tell library 1
                                    tell project "Album"
                                           if (exists album parentFolder) then
                                             ** I then would like to check if fileName already exist within the existing album**
                                             ** If not existing, I would like to import file f into the existing album as a referenced file**
                                           else if not (exists album parentFolder) then
                                                   make new album with properties {name:parentFolder}
                                            ** I then would like to import file f into the new album as a referenced file**

Agent install with replacement machine with same name

we replace old workstations with new ones with same name, SCCM does not update, it still shows the machine with an active agent, but it never gets installed on the new machine. what do I need to do to get the agent on the new machines?
Pat

Hi,
If you are trying to use autimatic client push it will not install the client that scenario as the computername is already active in SCCM. You could use a startup script in a GPO to always make sure that the client is installed on all computers, Jason Sandys
has written a great one, you can find it here..
http://blog.configmgrftw.com/configmgr-client-startup-script/
In the scenario above you also risk getting a duplicate in SCCM as the new computer with the old name has new hardware.

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.
Cheers,

Migrating Non ASM, Non RMAN to New Server with ASM and RMAN - Possible?

We currently have a database ( Oracle 10g R1 ) on a Sun Solaris server that is NOT using ASM or RMAN. The database is about 300GB. We are getting a new server and we want to install Oracle 10g R2 with ASM and RMAN and migrate the database.
I have seen the documentation on migrating non ASM to an ASM server but the methods all use RMAN. Is it possible to migrate to an ASM database without using RMAN? Would datapump import/export work if I created a new database on the new server with all the same tablespaces? Or, do I have to bite the bullet, install RMAN on the old server and do the backup?
Thanks.

If you're not using RMAN that doesn't mean you can't use it to perform a single backup, rman is contained in every oracle RDBMS installation version 10G or higher.
this is only a sample of how to do it
RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '<file_system_path>/%U.DBF';
--first we allocate the channel default channel.
RMAN>RUN
ALLOCATE CHANNEL DEFAULTCHANNEL TYPE DISK;
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
STARTUP MOUNT;
BACKUP DATABASE;
SHUTDOWN
}then once you have it, you can do what you want.
It should also be possible to manually restore the database from the original datafiles but it's better to follow the solution involving RMAN.

Migrate WSUS server from 2003x86 to 2008x64, new hardware, use same name and IP address?

Searching through the WSUS forums and reading the TechNET migration documentation, I have bits and pieces of information to make this a smooth transition...I think. I have a plan in mind but
would like the communities input on what I am thinking before moving forward and having it blowup in my face :). <o:p></o:p>
I have the following currently:<o:p></o:p>
A single WSUS 3.0 SP2 server, running on Server Win2003x86, using the default WID (susdb.mdf) on the same server. I have SQL 2005 Express installed on this server as well for other services
but this has no bearing on the WID correct?<o:p></o:p>
What I would like to do:<o:p></o:p>
I have a new server (a much better one) that I would like to move WSUS on to, that will be running Server Win2008x64 (I have to setup first). <o:p></o:p>
Steps that I would like to follow:<o:p></o:p>
1. I will go through and setup this new server with all M$ updates etc... under a new name (ex. wsusnew) and DHCP acquired IP address and then power it down. <o:p></o:p>
2. Get on my current WSUS server and backup all current WSUS settings, groups, DB etc... to a network location for temporary storage. Then power it down.<o:p></o:p>
3. Delete the current WSUS server computer object in AD, DNS entry I will leave because my intension is to give the same IP address to the new WSUS server.<o:p></o:p>
4. Start the new server, static assign the IP address from the old WSUS server to this new server and then change the name of (wsusnew) to the old servers name, which should be ok sense I deleted
the AD object in step 3.<o:p></o:p>
5. After the obvious restart, the new server will have the same name and IP address as the old server. <o:p></o:p>
6. Now that the new server is up (with same settings name/IP as old server), I will then go through and install the WSUS role on the server and restore my WSUS information.<o:p></o:p>
Questions:<o:p></o:p>
1. Step 2 above, is it possible to do this, without making replica servers? I kept reading about this as I was researching doing this, I would rather just copy the DB and folders and simply
put them in-place on the new server.<o:p></o:p>
2. Step 6 above, restoring of the data, what is the proper way to do this in the scenarioI described? <o:p></o:p>
Thank you to anyone who can provide me some information.
Jeff

Thank you for the reply, I will follow and let you know. Proabably be next week sometime before I'm able to try though. So look for a reponse then. Thank you again.
Jeff
OR...
You can use the much more simple, much more reliable, and much more proven method of:
Install new server as a replica of the old.
Replicate.
Configure new server as upstream server.
Point clients to new server.
Turn off old server after all clients have redirected to the new server.
For everybody that has tried the backup/restore the database procedure described above, they have encounted complications of one form or another.
WSUS has a built-in and fully supported comprehensive replication capbility. use it! :-)

Replace KMS server with same-named server

I need to replace my KMS server (win2008r2) with a new server (win2012r2), but with the original server’s name.
This is my plan:
      Shutdown the current KMS server and remove it from AD, WINS & DNS
      Rename the new server with the old server’s name
      I have already added the VAMT role to the win2k12 server, but not configured it
Install our KMS VL & run the office 2013 volume license pack on the new server
Does anyone see any problems with this plan?
Do I need to uninstall the KMS key from the original server first?
What kinds of issues will the users see before the 25 client activations happen?
Thanks!

This is fine.
KMS is resolved via a DNS Service record: _vlmcs._tcp.<domainname>
Whenever you are finished installing KMS on the new server, ensure the SRV record is correct.
NOTE: Remember the new KMS server will not start to activate clients until the thresholds are met. (5 servers or 25 clients)

Can i rejoin ny SCVMM 2012 server to domain with same name & IP address?

Dear all..
I am in situation where i have to rejoin my scvmm server to domain with same name & ip address.one of the fool admin has deleted my SCVMM's computer object from AD. I have recreated the object & tried to log on but no luck.. i have to rejoin
the server.
Does it have any risks involved or its just fine?

Hi,
First the behavior is normal. If an computer accounts is deleted, you cannot continue using the server without rejoining.
SCVMM it's not depending (integration) on active directory in such way as Exchange.
So, if the computer accounts has been deleted, there is no issue in creating a new one and rejoin the server. As long as the application on the server is able to look up any required directory services, it should be happy again.

Mounting multiple directories with same name on different severs to a single mount point on another server

We have a requirement where in we have multiple solaris servers and each solaris server has a directory with the same name.
The files in these directories will be different.
These same name directories on multiple severs has to be mounted to a single directory on another sever.
We are planning to use NFS, but it seems we can not mount multiple directories with same name on different severs to a single mount point using NFS, and we need to create multiple mount points.
Is there any way we can achieve this so that all the directories can be mounted to a single mount point?

You can try to mount all these mount points via NFS in one additional server and then export this new tree again via NFS to all your servers.
No sure if this works. If this works, then you will have in this case just an additional level in the tree.

Migrate Server 2008 Certificate Authority To New Server Different Host Name?

Our internal CA is installed on one of our Exchange servers. Exchange is being migrated from 2010 to 2013, so all current Exchange servers will decommissioned and replaced with new new Hyper-V VMs with either Server 2008 R2 or 2012 R2 OS. The old VM
containing Exchange 2010 and the current CA will go away since we cannot afford to use the server resources and use up the required Windows license to keep that server running doing nothing but acting as a CA.
So, we will either need to move the CA to the new replacement Exchange 2013 server or some other existing server that's being used for something else (maybe one of the domain controllers).
What is the best way to handle this? I don't think the migration from Exchange 2010 to 2013 allows for reusing the same host name on the replacement server and if we move the CA to another existing server, it will also be on a server with a new host
name anyways.
Can we migrate the CA to a new server with a different host name?
What about reissuing all the active certificates from the current server to replace them with new certificates from the new server and then decommissioning the original CA? Can this be automated in some way?
Which way is best and how would it be done?

When following the instructions in the guide, I would also consider to switch to new "sanitized" URLs in certificates (CDP and AIA) in case you had used the default URLs now. That's what I did this when migrating W2K3 CAs (with default URLs) to W2K8 R2.
Per default, the LDAP and HTTP URLs point to the CA server itself (HTTP) or to an LDAP objects that has the same name as the current server.
Migrating to a new server, you need to make sure that CRLs will still be published to the old locations - thus the new CA server would write to the LDAP object that corresponded to the old server, and HTTP might be fixed by redirecting the DNS record. (Make
sure this is documented so that nobody thinks it might be a good idea to delete the old object as it "references a server that does not exist anymore".)
As you have to fiddle with URLs anyway, I would then add new URLs having neutral names - that is URLs not including the name of the CA server. The new CA instance would then 1) publish to the old locations but not add these to certificates anymore and 2)
publish to new sanitized locations and add them to CDP and AIA URLs.
