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.

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.

[Serious BUG] Youtube crashes to death; fresh Windows 7 install; firefox and plugins updated; plugin-container.exe disabled; noway

This happens to me and to two friends of mine. So it's hardly a coincidence.
I have done a fresh Windows 7 install (for other reasons) so I thought this problem (which I had since about version 8.0) would disappear. I was wrong.
Firefox and plugins are updated:
Firefox 13.0
Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300
GPU video drivers are also updated.
I came across the "plugin-container.exe solution" but it didn't solve the problem.
How to reproduce the bug.
Visit Youtube and click on some video. Minimize Firefox. Wait some seconds. Next time you restore the window Firefox crashes, you have to kill plugin-container.exe from the task manager OR you have to restart the entire browser in case you've disabled the plugin container.
The same bug should occur when having various tabs open and one of them is Youtube with a video playing. But also when Firefox has no focus and you have other windows on top of it (and a Flash video running or even paused).
Since this does happen:
-with a fresh install;
-with everything updated;
-even disabling the plugin controller;
it seems very very strange to me that this problem is STILL present since version 8.0 (or even before) and that there is so few reports of this bug around the internet.
I'm not complaining here, I'm just showing my perplexity about almost noone having this bug which is ruining my (and my friends') Firefox experience since the past years.
My purpose here is:
* to let you know about this problem;
* to know if other are experiencing it;
* hopefully to keep giving support to this thread and answer to your questions about this bug so to help this thing being fixed;

For problems that occurred with Flash 11.2 and earlier, you might want to consider disabling graphics hardware acceleration in both Flash and Firefox.
'''Flash'''
Right-click any video in Flash Player and choose Settings.
Clear the checkbox for "Enable hardware acceleration"
'''Firefox'''
Save all work (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
Restart Firefox.

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.

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.

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.

Fresh Windows 10 install on a windows 7 system

First, my system specifications:
CPU: i7-920
Memory: 6GB Ram
Storage: 320GB drive, 750GB Drive, 2TB drive, 120GB SSD drive, 250GB SSD Drive
Video: Nvidia 670 GTX
I've been running windows 7 since 2008 or 2009 when i built this PC. I've installed windows 7 at that point, and up to now, couldn't be bothered to reinstall windows at all. At this point, C:\ is running out of space with loads of programs I've
installed and stopped using.
Long story short, when windows 10 officially comes out, i want to upgrade to windows 10, without upgrading windows 7. I do not want to bring all that mess over into windows 10. I would rather just install windows 10 on a new drive, and
format the 320GB drive. Last week, my wife surprised me with a 250GB SSD drive for my birthday, which i installed windows 10 preview onto.
I did find an issue that is still driving me up the wall. Normally, by default in windows 7, Drive C is an aging 320GB seagate drive, D is a 750GB seagate, E is a 2TB WD, F is a 128GB SSD drive, and G is where my new SSD drive is located. The
issue i came up with, is a permission error to access my data on all of those drives. After installing windows 10 onto G:, i copied some files over (kee-pass2 data file, steam installer, nvidia graphics driver, a text file with my mIRC registration code)
so that i could get a new system up and running.
The problem I got was when i booted into windows 10, and tried to start or open any of these files, i was denied permission to open any of these files, including the text file with the mIRC registration code. I've right clicked on these files, went
into security and added myself as the owner of these files, and am still being denied access to these files. If I downloaded the drivers and the steam installer, they started fine. The kee-pass2 software couldn't load the database at all, even
when i went to the windows 7 location and loaded the original file.
Steam could not access any of my steam installs on E:\, claiming a permission error. When i tried to go into my steam directory on e:\ windows reported that i still do not have permission to access the file, and seemed to give me the option to take
ownership.
To date, it's still claiming I don't have permission to access any of these files. I've even tried making a local login with the exact same account name as on windows 7, with administrator's access, and am still being denied permission to access these
files.
At this point, I'm feeling an impending sense of doom, and am currently believing that my idea of installing windows 10 without upgrading from windows 7 directly is not going to work. The only way I can currently think of to resolve this issue is
to reformat all of my drives once I get windows 10 installed, and reinstall whatever games i want back from steam once I'm set up in windows 10.
Is there something I'm missing here? Is there any thing I can do without taking such a drastic action? Can I even upgrade to windows 10 for free in the way I want to upgrade?

I hate to say it but you seem to be making this harder on yourself. Reduce the problem to it's simplest form, you want to move data from one volume to another volume and it's giving a permissions error.
The first thing to eliminate is any form of disk protection such as Bitlocker or some sort of TPM implementation. Assuming you definitely don't use anything like that...
The next thing to do is dismount (or physically disconnect in this case) all volumes except the relevant pair, boot from the Win 10 volume and then try to access the information on the "data" volume. If this does not work then reporting back the
exact error would be beneficial. A screenshot of the Disk Management interface would also be very useful. Right-click the start menu for a shortcut to the snap-in.
Finally almost all applications (including Steam games) are best reinstalled fully upon completion of the OS install. The installation process for almost every game includes third party libraries, registry entries and so on that will be missing from the
new OS. Indeed Steam itself can give problems when "importing" a library through physical copy and repair. It's possible, but not advisable.
Moving data isn't the issue. Reading existing data in it's current location is the issue. This is occurring even after I renamed the system to be the same as the windows 7 system, and using the same user name and password.
I suppose it's some feature of the NTFS system to keep people from maliciously accessing a "secured" filesystem that they don't really have access to. The problem with this case is, it's my data and i'm sort of being prevented from doing
so.
To date, I have been able to get Windows 10 to read some directories after clicking a button to give me that access, and go eat dinner or watch a tv episode. The issue is that it won't let me into my windows 7 user directory, even after spending an
hour going through my directory. The only thing I can do is open an admin command prompt and manually xcopy what i want to access. The other issue is that it appears to randomly forget that it managed to 'convert' some of the directories, and needs
to do it again.. and again.. and again.

Lenovo W540 FRESH Windows 7 Install

Hi, Im trying to install fresh Windows 7 x64 (Volume License media) to my company W540.Windows 7 Installation does not find any hdd and install stops here.I have tried drivers from lenovo site and directly from Intel site (Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver) and Lenovo CSSM driver back drivers but no success. Installaton suggest Chipset 8 ACHI Drivers as it should? but still it does not find any hard disks.Bios is updated to latest version (V.2.21). (Still no "legacy mode available for SATA in bios). Suggestions or knowledge? Regars!

One thing you could do is to temporarily put the hdd into a different machine and perform the first step of installation (file copying) there. Then put the hdd back into your w540 for the rest of the install process. I used this method to fresh install Win7 from a DVD onto my W550s, which lacks a DVD drive.

Toshoba Soft for Fresh windows Vista install

Hi, I am thinking of reinstalling Windows Vista Home Premium fresh on my laptop.
If I wipe the whole HD and install windows Vista or full Win 7 on it, is there a Toshiba Software bundle that I candownload for Satellite, essential for the laptop functions to run?
I have recovery Disks, problem is I downloaded Vista to Win 7 updater and Ran it , I thought all update was going to be doe online.Until it asked me to pop in Win7 update disk....which is nowhere mentioned until that point.
I reverted back to latest sys-restore, but certain applications are broken and not repairable, also messed up sounds and Video jitter freezes time to time.
(Not on website nor during updater that YOU NEED A WIN 7 DISK TO COMPLETE THE UPGRADE. Would it be so hard to mention it somewhere? Anyways that's another story which happened a while ago.)
------------------MY Satelite info------------------
Processor : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P7350 @ 2.00GHz
Memory : 2048MB x 2 (Speed 800)
Mother Board : Satellite P500
Windows Version : Microsoft® Windows Vista™ Home Premium Service Pack 2

No one has ever reinstalled fresh Windows on Toshiba laptop? Am I the first one?

Fresh Windows Vista Install (X:/ drive)

I have a HP Pavilion Elite m9500Y and I wish to use a windows vista install DVD rather then the recovery DVD's/partition.
When ever I boot to disk and go through the reinstall process, when I get to select drive it only has X:/ drive available.
Is this some type of boot drive? Is it because of something RAID related? I would like to know how to get around this.

Hello ddwcmp555, I'm not quite sure why you do not see any available disk\partitions to install Vista on.
Here is the link for the specifications for your system, and it shows the system shipped with a 750 GB hard drive and no Raid Array. It also shows the system shipped with Windows Vista Home Premium with Windows Media Center (64-bit) with Vista Service Pack 1.
The X: partition is created during the start of the Vista installation, as a temp. partition to store the Vista setup files. When the setup completes successfullly, this X: partition is removed.
Can you advise where you acquired the Vista DVD, and if your Vista DVD might be an upgrade version rather than a full version. An upgrade version would look for the original operating system, before proceeding with the installation process.

Installing SQL-Server with WiX : fails if older version is present

Hi,
I have a problem with my SQLServer 2014(Express) silent installation, in case there is a older Version e.g. SQL-Server 2012(Express) installed.
The log shows the following error:
[02DC:0C48][2014-12-04T10:53:30]i301: Applying execute package: SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe, action: Install, path: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\38E0D08F06AF2F907E1AEBDCA0444B828AE356B5\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe, arguments: '"C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\38E0D08F06AF2F907E1AEBDCA0444B828AE356B5\SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.exe" /ACTION=Install /INSTANCENAME=SQLExpress /FEATURES=SQL,Tools /TCPENABLED=1 /SQLSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE" /SQLSVCSTARTUPTYPE=Automatic /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS=BUILTIN\Administrators /ADDCURRENTUSERASSQLADMIN=TRUE /Q /HIDECONSOLE /SkipRules=RebootRequiredCheck /IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms'

Some facts:
- My setup works well, if I use a plain Windows 7/64 installation (VM)
- If I uninstall the older SQL-Server Version, setup works well also.
- The SQLServer installation is part of a WiX-Bootstrapping project

Hello Rainer,
The installation don't fail because an "older" instance exists, it fail because an SQL Server instance with the same name already exits; SQLEXPRESS is the default name and very common, you will see a lot of machines running a SQLEXPRESS instance.
Instance names must be unique per machine, so use a different instance name for your application, e.g. "SQLRainerQueck"

Windows xp install -- black screen with no cursor

I've seen a number of posts about Boot Camp installation problems involving a black screen with a blinking cursor, but my problem is simply with a black screen. On my MacBook Pro 15" Core 2 Duo (graphics card: ATY,RadeonX1600) I'm able to partition the HD, but then after I'm prompted in Boot Camp to insert the Windows XP install disk, the computer attempts to restart and install, but after a flash of grey screen, the screen goes totally black, and eventually the optical drive powers down (after whirring for a while) -- no cursor, no nothing. I've tried a number of suggestions I've seen elsewhere: my firmware seems up-to-date (at least that's what I'm told when I try to run both EFI and SMC firmware updates); the Windows XP is a brand-new, single-disk, SP2 install disk; I've tried holding down the option key upon reboot and selecting windows start-up. I've used Parallels with no problem under 10.4.X, but recently upgraded to 10.5.2, and thought I'd try a Boot Camp installation for better access to peripherals. Any suggestions?

Hello to all and it wanted to request aid to them on this subject, days ago I acquired a Imac 24"2.4GHZ Aluminum (generation previous to the last ones sent for a month),then it is that I have years with my macbook pro and always I have used bootcamp since was beta in Tiger, so installation experience I believe that I have a little.
The problem is that in it is new machine I have partition my disc with the assistant without no problem, but when it is going to install Windows XP or Vista (the 2 I have them original) and boot the machine, it remains in gray screen and no nothing happens, reason why boot with option pressed and they leave systems both to me, followed this I select Windows and it is hoisted in the screen that nor the leader of the mouse moves.
I have made the procedure as 10 times and proven with different sizes from partition (with its respective disc repair with the DVD of Leopard and the disc assistant) and nothing.
Finally uses WinClone in my macbook pro and clone my partition of Vista Windows, recovers it in the Imac without no problem and it appears to me in startup but the same, I select Windows and there it remains. Fiirmware of the updated machine this and I am in OSX 10.5.3. I have proven everything until changes to the memories and nothing. Them request if somebody has had east problem and to most erudite of the forum I request aid to them to see if they can give me.
Beforehand a million thanks to all,

Windows 7 install on Imac with 3rd partition

Hi there, I've been trying to install windows 7 on an Imac with a 3rd partition to store my files so they can be accessed on both the mac and pc install. I use the standard procedure for installing windows through bootcamp, which works fine, then when I try to generate the 3rd partition the windows install is not recognised by the computer. I have tried to generate the 3rd partition through the mac disc utility, the mac disc utility when used from the install disc and through the disc managment utility in windows 7 - none of which worked.
I found a post which gives a solution for this problem when installing windows xp - adjust the boot.ini file - but as far as I know the boot.ini file does not exist on windows 7.
Has anyone had the same problem and found a solution, or is there maybe a piece of software that fixes this issue?

Did you look at the post just below this here?
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2665592
While it has been done, there are always side effects and downside as well.
And you are up against the 4-partition limit of MBR.
