Need to create a new fresh installation of Config Manager 2012 R2 without downtime...

Hi!
Here is our problem...
We installed a Configuration Manager 2012 R2 on our domain for testing purposes and behold, it is now in production ;). Now the problem is that we didn't install the test version as recommended, everything is installed onto the systemdrive
and space is running out slowly but surely. All Site System Roles are activated on this one and same server and we are starting to get nervous... An additional DP is on its way but we NEED to install the Site Server and other Site System roles onto new hardware
ASAP. What is the best practice for doing this so that we have so little downtime as possible? We have new computers that need OSD and software that need deploying and updating every week... How should we attempt to do this so that it goes as smoothly as possible?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You!

Or you could simply backup and restore to another server

And how does that solve this problem: "everything is installed onto the systemdrive"

How do I move all my files from one User Profile (account) into another? I needed to create a new account and want all of my files accessible in the new one.

ok, what you're learning right now is 101 unix, which is good. Unix is a good thing
now: the way unix works, and macos (which uses unix underneath) the files and folders work like a hierarchy.
the start of that tree is /
so, if you were to do:
cd /
(cd means change directory)
it will bring you at the highest branch of the file system.
cd /Users
will bring you to where all the users are.
to see whats in /Users you can use your friend ls command
ls means list files/directories
so:
cd /Users
ls -la
(the -la here means show all (even hidden) and long format (very verbose)) this flag is very optional.
you will see
fred
user2
for example.
if you want to see the desktop of user2 you would change directory to it then list the files.
for example:
cd /Users/user2/Desktop
Note that the files and directory are case sensitive, so, desktop is NOT the same as Desktop, or DESKTOP
ls -la
you should then be able to see everything in users2 desktop
you could have done as well the same thing in smaller steps, for example:
cd /
cd Users
cd user2
cd Desktop
this is the equivalent of cd /Users/user2/Desktop
So, for your file, i don't know where it was, but know that if you log in as user2, it will directly put you in
/Users/user2
which most likely the file you had created from the other user was in /Users/user1
if you copied all the files from /Users/original_user to /Users/secondUser
most likely yes, all your mail, bookmarks etc would be copied over.
so in your case.
sudo chown -R seconduser:staff /Users/secondUser
should work
Remember that if you start a path with the character / it means start from the root of the file system, at the highest top you can ever get.
so
cd /Users/fred
is not the same as
cd Users/fred
unless you were in / already
i know it may be confusing at first but it's actually very logical if you play with it.
to simplify, think of it that / means C:\ on windows
you can't go any higher than C:\ (in a way)
if you're unsure which directory you're currently in, you can always type:
pwd
it will tell you where you are.
for example:
cd /
pwd
this shows /
cd Users
pwd
this now shows /Users
cd /System/Library
pwd will show /System/Library
cd /
cd /Users
cd fred
cd Library
pwd will show /Users/fred/Library
unix can look very scary but it's actually vital and very necessary to do tasks sometimes that would take for ever to do via the windows. This is good learning.
so for the myfile you had created, i can't tell you where it is, at the time you created, if you can do a pwd command you'll know the path,
ls -la (this shows all the files where you are)
if you see myfile in the list
do a pwd
whatever is return, the real location of the file would be:
whatever pwd returned / myfile
I hope that makes sense.

I want to Facetime my Ipad from my Iphone but they are both set up with the same Apple id. Do I need to create a new id for one of them in order to facetime with the other?

You should be able to call the iPad using your Apple ID from the iPhone. When calling from iPad use the iPhone's phone number to initiate the call.

I have ad Apple ID on my iPad , when I use the apple on my iPhone for the first time, I put in my Apple ID for the iPad, didn't work. Need to create a new one. Why? How can I just use my iPad ID on my iPhone?

Hi kamfong,
Went to Settings where?
If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
1. Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
2. Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?
Cheers,

I know my Apple Id (not .mac) and password but I can't logon to ichat. I keep getting a message of password not matched. Do I need to create a new account for Ichat?

I know my Apple Id (it isn't ".mac") and password but I can't log on to ichat. I keep getting a message of password not matched. I saw somewhere that my Apple id is the same as my ichat account. Do I need to create a new account for Ichat? I've already reset my Apple id password 3 times in the last 2 days. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
At one time only Email IDs from Apple (when it was just @Mac.com) were referred to as "Apple IDs"
Other IDs such as to log in to Discussions were know as Discussion IDs
Things like the Online Store and iTunes and Apple realising that people would prefer one ID to have access to Everything tended to move things together.
There can be a variety of combos now
iChat Name
@mac.com before MobileMe
@mac.com post MobileMe
AIM Names
AIM names current
MobileMe (@Me.com)
Style
Email Address valid with the .Mac service prior MobileMe Note 1
Email style Name Valid with AIM
May or may not be an Email address
Can be AIM issued or third party Email address
Valid Email with MobileMe Service
Other Abilities
May also be Currently valid email linked to a MobileMe account
Maybe Valid Apple ID
Is a Valid AIM Screen Name
May Not be a Valid Apple ID (was an option choice at one stage)
Is a Valid AIM Screen Name
May not look like an Email (No @whatever.com) but may be linked to either an AOL email account or AIM one
Current Registration seems to be pushing Email registration (@AIM.com)or asking to use another you currently use.
Trial Accounts are limited to the Trial Period Only as Emails, Valid AIM Screen Names and Apple IDs.
Apple ID
Possibly (likely)
Possibly (depends when Registered)
More currently Yes.
No
No
Yes
Glad I could help.

As all of the msuic came from your computer in the first place it should still be there. Is it not?
EVERYTHING on your ipod should also be on your computer and should be included in your regular backup copy of your computer.
Make sure that everything is on your computer. You can transfer itunes purchases from the ipod. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases.
When everything is on your computer, then it can be synced back to the ipod after updating.

Hi, both my husband and I have iphones synced to my apple id. It seems that we can't facetime due to this as it's like my email address is calling my email address! Is there anyway to fix this or will we need to create a new id for my husband's phone?

settings - facetime - remove the apple id, on your husband phone.
He should create his own id for imessage and facetime.

I need to create a new admin account. But i lost the cd it came with and forgot my password. also can a cd be replaced

I need to create a new admin account. but i lost the cd that came with the macbook, and forgot my password. also can the cd be replaced.

You can purchase replacement discs from AppleCare:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support visit online support site.
You can try the following to reset the password without the DVD:
How to change your username and/or password from the Terminal
1. Boot into single-user or verbose mode
2. At the prompt enter the following commands. Press RETURN after each:
fsck -fy
mount -uw /
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist
dscl . -passwd /Users/username password
Replace username with the targeted user and password with the desired password.
reboot
This allows you to reset the password in single user mode without booting from the install media. The above tip is attributed to Satcomer.

When moving countries, do we then need to create a new apple id?

When moving countries, do we then need to create a new apple id to purchase from our new country?
I have logged into my apple id in a browser (not itunes) to change my country details so that I can register my CC information to purchase from my new country. "Changing countries option" is not provided.
The only solution I can see is creating a new apple id for my new country. Which means loosing purchased apps on my phone as well as not being able to access music purchased in my previous apple id (unless manually burning to CD and importing again that way).
Can anyone confirm or provide a solution to a common senario of moving to another country to live?

Needed to create a new cost element hierarchy to come in line

needed to create a new cost element hierarchy to come in line with Victory reporting. I went into create new group and referenced NETEXPS2.RD so that I could then edit it.
I made all the changes required for the new hierarchy NETEXPS3.RD. Unfortunately some of the changes I made have changed NETEXPS2.RD.
Is this my fault for referencing? Is there any way of going back to the original NETEXPS2.RD version and fixing it?
Please suggest for the above.
Regards
Srinivas.

In addition to Krishna if you don't want to expose all the package to the trainee, then create a new role keeping everything same as default MODELING role (open it and have a look) but in "PACKAGE PRIVILEGES" add only those package that you want to expose to the end users.

do i need to create a new user each time i do a migration ?

If the computer you are migrating to already has a user the Migration will create a new one.
If not Setup Assistant should be used instead (see Pondini's Guide)
