Moving Users from one server to another

Is it possible to move my network users from one Xserve to another? I know this used to be possible to do with NetInfo, but I haven't heard of anything like this using Ldap.

I used Open Directory Archive/Restore in Server Admin to carry over my ldap users through a reinstall. Their UIDs, groups, passwords, etc. all came across. The home directories were on a different volume and everything basically worked after the reinstall.

  • Moving users from one server to another using Shared Services

    How do you migrate users and groups from one server to another from Hyperion Shared Services in version 9.3.1?
    When users were provisioned from EAS on version 7.x we could use Migration Utility but now since users are provisioned using Shared Services, what is the approach to be followed?

    Someone will probably give you a real-world example of how to do it, but to get you started you may want to review the Hyperion Security Administration guide, section "Migrating Native Directory" which discusses that you need to first install the Import/Export Utility on your Shared Services server, then create an export file, then go to your target Shared Services Server and long story short, import it.

  • Moving users from One Group to another

    Hi Guys,
    I am looking for a script which will allow me to move users from One ADGroup to another ADGroup. I have checked ther scripts which are currently present. However, none of them if fixing my issue.
    Details:
    I have Different locations and users moves from one location to another location and same thing happens as they gets moved from one Tower to another Tower (Like From TOWER A to Tower B). Also users gets promoted and most of the time they are in bulk.We also
    have 2 domains one is parent and another is child domain.
    So, I hope above information is making sense and also I Completely new to PS so after going to lot of scripts i asking for help on this. I hope I can gets this sorted out as soon as possible as my work is piling up.

    You are asking a lot of questions about AD.  Do you know how to do this in AD with D tools?
    There is no magic way to guess at what you need. I recommend that you start by learning AD and PowerShell.  There are good resources here:

  • Moving services from one server to another

    Hi all,
    I moved Access Database Services and Excel Services from one app server to another app server by starting those services on the new server and stopping them on the old one. However, in the app logs and ULS, SharePoint errors out cuz it still tries to make
    the calls to the old server. Why is this? I did the iisreset on the old server, but it made no difference. What am I missing?

    Hi ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you moved Access Services and Excel Services from one server to another server.
    As Trevor said, please do an IISRESET on the new server, and compare the result.
    Please restart the new server running Access Services and Excel Services applications. If restarting the server does not correct the problem, confirm that the hardware of the server is functioning correctly, or reinstall Access Services Application
    and re-add the server to the server farm.

  • Moving SharePoint from One server to another

    Hi,
    We are in the process of migrating our current sharepoint farm server to another server.
    Our scenario
    WFE Servers  = SERVER01 AND SERVER02
    APP Servers   = SERVER03 AND SERVER04
    SQL Server   = SERVER05
    New WFE Servers = SERVER06 AND SERVER07
    New APP Servers = SERVER08 AND SERVER09
    New SQL Server = SERVER10
    Please does anyone know the best approach for migrating a sharepoint farm from one server to another.
    My current approach will be to
    FOR THE SQL SERVER
    1.    stop all processes that might be using sharepoint such as search, sptimer using the net stop cmdlet on SERVER05
    2.    back up all sharepoint content databases
    3     Copy and restore the backed up databases on the sql server using the same name to ensure permissions are not      tampered with on SERVER10
    4.    Ensure the firewall on the new sql server is open on port 1433
    5.    Configure a new SQL Alias on the new server so that SharePoint can point to the new sql server
    6.   Restart all the stopped processes in 1 above.
    However, my questions are
    Is the above the right approach?
    How do i migrate the WFE and APP servers -  do i need to reconfigure sharepoint on both wfe nd app server and then do a mount-spcontentdatabase cmdlet?
    Please advise is urgently needed
    Kind Regards

  • Moving users from one machine to another

    I am trying to move users from a Solaris 2.6 box to a new Solaris 9 box. I tried moving /etc/passwd /etc/shadow and /etc/group to the new box, but when I try to login I get the following error in /var/adm/messages
    Mar 17 17:10:15 host.name sshd[1573]: [ID 800047 auth.error] error: Could not get shadow information for NOUSER
    I also tried running pwconv to make a new shadow file from the passwd file.. no good.
    How do I move these users to this new machine?

    You shouldn't really have overwritten the whole passwd / shadow / group files - did you back them up first?
    If so, reinstate them and then just copy the entries you require.
    You'll also need the home directories for each user - if they're all in the same place, eg /export/home then you could tar it up and copy it over....
    tar cvf /tmp/home.tar /export/home
    compress /tmp/home.tar
    copy /tmp/home.tar.Z to new box and untar it.

  • Moving user files from one server to another.

    Hi everyone
    I would need your help to help me migrate the user files of around 300 persons to a new server.
    Is there a tool that could help me doing that?
    Here is the situation:
    I have an old 2003 server with all the user accounts. We are using the shares to manage rights.
    We want to migrate all these accounts to a 2008 R2 server using NTFS rights.
    So:
    is there a tool that could:
    - copy the files and put NTFS right automatically with the username (%username%) as owner for each user personal folder.
    - change the path of the personal folder in each account in AD to the new server.
    - Make them automatically members of a specific group (We use that group to exclude these users from the old login script that would've map to old server instead.)
    is there anyone who could help me with this issue?
    Thank you very much!
    Dag

    Hi Dag,
    You can use robocopy to copy user files NTFS permissions from one server to another server and use /COPY:O to copy the owner information.
    For robocopy command, I would like to suggest you refer to the below article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc733145(v=ws.10).aspx
    Robocopy will not help copy Share permissions but only NTFS permissions. So if the drive letter will not be changed, you can backup and restore the Share permission with steps here:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/125996
    Then you can refer to the article below to change the path of the personal folder in each account in AD:
    Change a user's home directory

  • Transporting user defined selection screen from one server to another

    How to transport a user defined selection screen (0100) from one server to another.
    PBO and PAI modules written in PBO and PAI events for the selection screen are
    not transported.
    How to transport the modules in the events for the selection screen.

    Hi,
    Krishna, <b>All</b> the Objects(prms,classes,tables,stru...) will be transported thru Transport Objects only..
    Check Utilities->version->Version Mgt -> Here u will have the Transport number(if it's created under trnasportable obj).If you do not find TP no,then u would hav saved that as a Local Object.
    Then Relase the TP no from SE10 Trnx.

  • Moving a Company from one server to another server

    Dear All,
    I have gone through all the SBO SDN Threads (related to SBO-Common) to know the role of SBO-Common data base in SAP B1, but the following case is still not clear to me. Please help.
    Suppose I have two SBO servers (of same settings) as follows u2013
    Server1:
    Database                Company
    SBO-Common          N/A
    SAP_Abc_Co          Abc Co.
    Server2:
    Datebase               Company
    SBO-Common          N/A
    SAP_Xyz_Co          Xyz Co.
    Now I want to transfer the above said Xyz Co (database-SAP_Xyz_Co) from Server2 to the Server1 (keeping all other companies in Sever1 intact). How to do it?

    SBO-Common, also acts as the license server.
    To transfer a company from one server to another you can do like Steffen said.
    You don't need to backup SBO-Common.

  • Moving directory with Software Update files from one server to another

    Hi guys,
    I have recently bought a Mac Mini to move on it my test system Mac OS 10.9 with Server 3.0, running on VM.
    My question is:
    Is it possible to move the Software Update packages/directory from one server to another, so I don't need to wait a whole week to have them all downloaded from the Apple servers?
    I assume, if replace all the Software update fodder it is not going to work as there are some kind of index files elsewhere that will not accept that change.
    I haven’t tried any migration assistant as don’t want to replicate the server.
    Any suggestions, please?

    hi Lucas,
    i just stumbled onto this post of yours while searching for solutions for a somehow related issue that's kept me thinking.
    your post isn't new, yet it received no answers... maybe you found a solution already.
    in case you haven't, a possible hint might come from https://discussions.apple.com/message/20478878#20478878
    for the record, i've installed os x server 3.0 on mvrx 10.9 on a 4-year old Intel Core 2 Duo mac mini with 500GB disks.
    in my case, it's the almost 200GB of update files wasting what's left of my storage real estate to press for a solution.
    tried to do what's suggested here, seems to work fine on my system, too. hope this helps.

  • Copying report file from one server to another requires refresh database?

    Hi,
    I am using Crystal Reports 11 for development.
    We have a number of crystal reports that are served on a web server running classic ASP that uses these reports with Embedded Crystal Server XI installed on the server.
    When I am developing or modifying a .rpt file (report) I connect to a UAT/development database on a dedicated development server.
    When I am happy with the report and testing is successful I copy and paste the report onto the production server, replacing the old report.
    The problem is I don't have a user account and password on the production server. Our DBAs are the only one with passwords on the prod servers. If an application needs a password entered they come to my desk and enter it for me.
    The problem is in order for the modified report to work on the production, I have to call up a DBA to "verify the database" for me by connecting to production server and entering username and password.
    This is really annoying.
    Why can't I just disconnect\log off server in crystal reports, then copy and paste the .rpt file to prod server and be done with it?
    If I had dozens of reports to change, it seems very rigid that I have to ask a DBA to enter the user account and password used by the application to run the report.
    Can someone please explain how to be able to copy and paste modified reports/ or new reports from one server to another without having this problem.
    Thanks
    Haggisns

    Moving to the Legacy SDK forum.
    Crystal can be magical sometimes but if you don't tell CR where the database is how is it to know you moved it?
    As you have seen and for security reasons you can't simply "drop" a report on any server and expect it to just connect to a new DB server without being asked to enter in credentials or that you have changed the DB server to report off of.... If it's too much work for the DBA to set log on info then he should give you access to so can.
    Thank you

  • Issue in migrating analysis service job from one server to another

    Hi All,
    I'm migrating analysis services from one server to another, within the source server there is a job with the name
    denreportingprocess which executes a batch file within local drive on server. I have moved all the analysis services cubes from the source server to destination and all the databases on the source server have been restored to destination.Verified
    cubes are pointing to the correct database by modifying the connection string within the datasource part of the cube databases.
    I have copied the entire process folder from source to destination and edited the code within the run file and code within the job pointing the locations to new server.
    Below is the job code, it is running a batch file placed in E drive
    E:\MSSQL10_50.MSSQLSERVER\process\run.cmd

  • Trying to move a users from one database to another gives error

    When I try moving a user from one database to another I get an error, but one some PC's installed with EMC, gives no problems. So what could the the issue here, I tried googling, but came out without any solution. Exchange 2010 sp3, EMC on Windows 7 pc.
    The error message is:
    The move request for user is invalid. The user's Active Directory identity doesn't match the mailbox identity in the
    move request. It was running command "Get-MoveRequestStatistics -identity.....

    Is this 1 specific mailbox or any mailbox? Things to consider:
    Make sure that your Exchange management tools are running the same build as your Exchange server (2010 SP3 RUx). 
    Try using the Exchange Management Shell and typing Set-ADServerSettings -ViewEntireForest $True
    You might need to use the RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR when open Exchange tools
    Try running Clean-MailboxDatabase against each DB -
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124076(v=exchg.141).aspx
    Review and then Remove old move requests
    Try mailbox repair request -
