Network Domain Migration - Merge Replication

My company was recently acquired by a different Parent company. We are currently in the process of migrating from one Domain to the new one using a Microsoft tool called ADMT. I currently have Merge replication with pull subscriptions setup. These have been
working for several years. The distributor is a SQL 2005 box and is on the old domain. I have several SQL 2005 express subscribers with Laptops and another full SQL 2005 box in another city connected over an MPLS line that is a pull subscriber as well.
Has anyone migrated a distributor to a different Domain using ADMT before and had any problems? The SQL agent does not run under a domain account, but rather a standard Windows account using pass through authentication. I would hate to lose the Replication
setup on the Distributor. I could reestablish / reinitialize each subscriber, if I had to.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Steve

Wrong forum. Sorry.

Active Directory Cross Forest Domain Migration

Dear All,
We are in the process to rebuild new Active Directory infrastructure. Multiple single forest domains in organization which needs to be consolidated/migrated on single Active Directory Domain. For this consolidation, have some queries to be addressed before
going to start consolidation.
What is the best practices and what tool should we use for domain migration/consolidation
Active directory is on Windows 2003, forest and domain level is on Windows 2003, this will support to Windows 2012 R2 forest and domain functional level, will be migrated
directly from windows 2003 to windows 2012?
When move users to new domain, how will they access the other resources on the network. For e.g. Printer, File server, local web base application
After moving some computers to new domain would be possible to access remaining computers on old domain?
How the file server data will be moved? Best practices with NTFS folder permissions and users rights?
Is there any policy to register network printers on new Active Directory domain?
How users would be access web base application on new domain as their FQDN would be define with old domain name? Any option to change old domain FQDN with new domain that would be describe with any URL link?
Kindly give your valuable input to meet the desire result.
Thanks in Advance.

Dear Lucky,
Ya you can Migrate contents from multiple forest domain. Using ADMT (Active Directory Migration Tool)is the best way to migrate AD content. But you can't migrate from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 R2, cause in Windwos Server 2012 R2 don't
have the supportebility of Windows Sever 2003.And not only users you can also migrate all others info (i.e. Computer object info, groups info, Exchange mailbox info, security info).You can migrate users face by face, means which peoples are in old domain they
can access old domain and new users are in new domain.For more info please follow the given link:

Merge replication is not happening in one way

Hi ALl,
We have merge replications setup. it is not working in one direction. I enabled the logging to output fine but no use i could not find anything. The pings are fine no drops. Telnet is working. no load on server. i contacted network teams there is no issues.
What could be the issue?
The merge process could not retrieve column information for table 'dbo.MAINT'. Verify that you have sufficient privileges on the database and retry the operation.The merge process could not enumerate changes at the 'Subscriber'. When troubleshooting, restart
the synchronization with verbose history logging and specify an output file to which to write.
But the agent subsystem account and replication has sysadmin permission no possibility of password issue.
Snapshot folder and file not be used here.
Select * from MSmerge_history
order by time Desc
Query result is
Uploading data changes to the Publisher.
after that there is no status
Please help Its very urgent issue

Hi Ashwin,
Thanks for the reply.
PFB verbose output. there are no blocking on both publisher and suscriber.

Post domain migration Outlook needs Flush dns intermittently

We have office in two cities X & Y, Y city is HO. Our entire DNS Server, Exchange server is in Z i.e. Head Quarters. Y city has file server, DC, Firewall. X & Y are connected via VPN tunnel. After our domain migration from abc.com to xyz.com only
X city few laptop users on wi-fi started getting issue of 'Outlook freeze- connection store/restore error' emails are stuck in outbox and not received. Only when we do ipconfig/release, renew, flushdns...it resolves the issue temporarily.
We found that issue might be on Wi-fi (Cisco SOHO - 3) we have changed the DNS setting of the WI-fi, pushed the DNS in host file, pushed in laptop settings, reduced the voltage of the wi-fi. Restarted the servers in Y city. Not sure if it is DNS or Wi-FI
issue. Still the problem persists. Please advice.

there is no easy way to find out the issue if it is related to client side configuration. as you already mentioned that it works after making DNS changes so the issue is somewhere at the Wi-Fi. it also depends how big is the mailbox, and if the outlook is
setup to cache mode or not.
For further troubleshooting I will use that same laptop on the wired network.
also if that Wi-Fi has Ethernet port I will connect a Hub/switch to it and then connect the laptop to the Ethernet. This is tell me if the issue with Wi-Fi on the laptop or the Wi-Fi Access Point.
Plus this thread should be moved to Outlook Forum

Slow merge replication over a WAN link - only downloads

Hi all,
We've been using SQL Server merge replication for a few years to synchronise data between our data centres, but we are now suffering with a big performance issue. This may be because the amount of data we are synchronising has increased a lot this year.
Our publisher is an always-on data centre in the UK. Our subscriber is a mobile data centre that travels around the world and is on for periods of up to a week at a time, approx. 25 times a year. However, it also spends the same amount of time (if not more)
switched off whilst on its travels - it is a well travelled data centre!
We have 5 database that we synchronise on these servers. However, one of our databases has high numbers of data changes between periods of subscriber downtime and our issue is that it take days to catch up when the server is powered up - the other databases
are fine.
Downloads from publisher to subscriber run at about 1.5 rows a second (which is annoying when we have hundreds of thousands of rows) but strangely uploads from subscriber to publisher run about ten times faster.
Things I have checked / tried:
all tables have non-clustered primary keys on guid columns that have the rowguid property set
changing the generation levelling threshold doesn't help
setting the agent profile to high volume doesn't help
running a trace at the publisher and subscriber shows the queries are all running very fast (less than 20 m/s generally, but there are gaps of 200 m/s or so between some batches of queries)
analysis on our WAN link shows we have huge amounts of bandwidth spare
analysis on our servers show we have huge amounts of Ram and CPU spare
Some of the places the subscriber is at do suffer from high latency but this doesn't seem to have an impact - 300 m/s or 100m/s and we still get the same poor performance.
One things I did wonder about - does the replication confirm to the publisher every time it has successfully processed a row at the subscriber? If we have thousands of rows and there is a latency on the line will this compound the issue if it confirms each
item? If this does happen, is there a way to batch up messages between publisher and subscriber?
Any help that you can offer will be gladly received!
Thanks
Mark

1) merge replication processes the uploads/downloads in batches. So no, there is no confirmation for each row processes, but there is per batch. If there is an error/conflict a batch is retried as singletons (a single row processed at a time), so you need
to minimize conflicts/errors.
2) No, but you should use pull and wan accelerators for max performance and change your profile to use 2000 for the following:
MaxDownloadChanges
MaxUploadChanges
UploadGenerationsPerBatch
DownloadGenerationsPerBatch

set network packet size to a large value - you will need to work with your wan engineer to find out what works best. 32k will likely be best.
Also you may want to copy a file of a known size from your publisher to your subscriber and then from your subscriber to your publisher to see if there is a significant difference in time. For drives will yield significant differences.
I have found that you may have a trigger which is generating a large volume of unnessary changes. You will need to see what table/article is generating all the changes and evaluate whether the changes are legit.
Precomputed partitions should speed up the enumeration times. Ensure you have supporting indexes - the missing indexes DMV helps here.
Lastly you may find that a reinitialization is faster than processing the changes.

Merge replication - multi site, multi distributor, publisher, subscribers ...

Hi,
We have 2 sites at the moment. Each site has 2 servers. To reduce network load I was aiming at doing the following with a merge replication :
* configure one server at each site to be distributor and publisher
* configure the other server at each site to be a subscriber
* configure the 2 publishers to also be subscribers to each other to sync the sites.
Or even better:
* have all the servers be distributors, publishers and subscribers, so that if one dies, who cares as they all have the same configuration.
Also, I was thinking of:
* having the distributor and publishers use a DFS share replicated on both sites (or maybe the same share on each sql server ? not sure what the best practice is on this one)
However, I can't seem to find a good post / thread where it describes this kind of scenario in a step by step way nor what happens to the identity range management.
If you could share any light on this or point me to the right English terms to describe the above scenario, thanks in advance.
Olivier
PS: We only have STD edition, so peer to peer and AG are not available to US. (which is why we are using merge)
PS2: One way I could see this work is if I manually set the identity columns in the tables so that they won't overlap and make the range management manual. Then just setup publications / distributors and subscribers on each node. (But if I can dodge the
manual management, it be great)

Hi Brandon,
Thx for the reply
we are using web synchronization.
According to the documentation ('The business logic handler you specify is executed for every row that is synchronized.') I would think this will do exactly the same as our trigger on the article.
When we would use a business logic handler to update the record which is just uploaded to the Publisher I think we will end up with the same checksum error.
We worked around the problem by not changing the status of orders once they are uploaded to the Publisher.
For that part of the process we now have only 2 statusses anymore :
- Not to be sent to central server
- Upload(ed) to central server.
So an order is created at the subscriber and has the status 'not to be sent to central server'
In a synchro-window the user can mark orders which must be uploaded to the central server.
Only when the users clicks on the synchro button the orders which are marked (on screen) to be synchronised will get the status 'Upload(ed) to central server' and the pull subscriptions is started.
On the central server we process only the articles with the status 'Upload(ed) to central server'.
Before we had the statusses :
- Not to be sent to central server
- Upload to central server.
- Uploaded to central server.
And we had our own trigger on the Publisher which updated the status of records from 'Upload to central server ' to 'uploaded to central server' which was not reliable because we often had checksum errors on that article.

Merge Replication Error When Initialising subscription

I have a SQL server 2005 server with a merge publication of 6 articles all of which are tables which is also the distributor. I have two existing subscriptions one from a SQL 2005
Server and one from a SQL Server 2008 R2 Server both of which are working fine on this publication. I am trying to setup a third subscription to another SQL Server 2008 R2 server, the only difference with this server is that it is a named instance. I have
forced the port to 1433, and created an alias on the publisher connectivity is not an issue or at least i don't think so.
when I try to initialise the subscription from a new snapshot I get the below error;
Error: 14151, Severity: 18, State: 1.
Replication-Replication Merge Subsystem: agent failed. No subscription is on this publication or article.
I've changed the agent profile and turned on verbose logging and output the results to a file the snapshot delivery is failing on the below for the first table;
call sys.sp_MSsetup_identity_range (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)
I've checked the subscriber and the table does indeed get dropped and created, permissions / routes don't seem to be an issue. I've included some of the verbose logging output below.

The table gets dropped and recreated each time i try to reinitialise the subscription. I can't remove the article at the moment as two other servers subscribe to the publication.

SQL Server Compact 3.5 Merge Replication With SQL Server 2012 - Causing IIS App Pool to Crash

Hi, I may be the only person in the world doing this but I wanted to give this information to anyone else who may follow this path in the future, and hopefully avoid a headache, or at least a paid support call to Microsoft.
My original scenario was we had a SQL Server 2008 Server using Merge Replication through and IIS (web server) to several Windows Mobile 6 devices. This has worked fairly well for a few years.
Recently we upgraded our SQL server to version 2012 SP 1. After moving the database over to the new server, and re-setting the merge replication stuff, we couldn't get merge replication to work on the Windows Mobile 6 handheld devices. The replication
would appear to start, and then we would get a message saying that the device could not get to the web site. The message on the handheld device was this:
"The IIS service is not available."
After doing some more research, we found that the start of the replication process was causing the Thread Pool that was running the SQLCESA35.dll to crash.
The SQLCESALOG.txt file had this information:
Date Time == SQLCESA Version ==> 3.5.8088.0
Date Time Hr=80004005 ERR:Couldn't find existing RSCB 1
After 2 days of trying to figure out the issue on our own, we gave in and called for paid Microsoft support. They eventually found a known issue where a cumulative update was able to fix the problem.
We installed the update on the IIS server and everything ran smoothly again.
FIX: Merge replication fails when you use SQL Server Compact to perform a merge replication that synchronizes changes with a publisher in SQL Server 2012

Merge Replication from 2012 SQL Server publisher/distributor to 2014 SQL Express subscriber

Hi, I'm having a question about which version to use when running SQL Merge Replication.
In my test enviroment I have a SQL 2012 server running as Publisher and Distributor for my Merge Replication. I have now set up a test client running Win7 with SQL 2014 Express as a subscriber. The subscription initializes and runs perfectly.
But according to the SQL documentation this should not be possible as it states that the subscriber should have a version number equal or lower than the publisher. My subscription client was set ut using SQL-scripting, if I try using the wizard it will just
cause an error message telling that this is not possible since the client has a newer version number. I still not encountered any problems after I set it up using the script with the sp_addmergepullsubscription and sp_addmergepullsubscription_agent procedures.
The roll-out of my solution will start in a few weeks and I now have to decide whether to use 2014 Express or 2012 Express on the clients. Using 2014 Express will save me for a lot of upgades in a year or two. The 2012 SQL Server running as publisher/distributor
will be upgraded to/replaced with a 2014 Server in some few months.
I'm looking for good advices and recommendations for what to choose on the clients, 2012 Express or 2014 Express. Are the any known problems with using 2014 Express as a subscriber to a publisher/distributor running 2012 SQL Server?
All responses are welcome!
Regards, Anders

Hi,
As you understand that a Subscriber to a merge publication can be any version less than or equal to the Publisher version. When you set up a subscription from a publisher to a subscriber using SQL Server Management Studio, you will get error
“The selected Subscriber does not satisfy the minimum version compatibility level of the selected publication.” And you can use T-SQL script to get around this error message.
I would install SQL Server 2012 Express on the clients. Here is the reasons:
1. If you upgrade the publisher to SQL Server 2014, it is still working with SQL Server 2012 on the subscriber.
2. I cannot tell whether there are other potential problems if I choose the later one besides the error message.

Is there anything available that covers the pros/cons of a simple and network PCD migration?

Is there anything available that covers the pros/cons of a simple and network PCD migration?

Hi,
as such there is no DOC but I can share my views:
Under Pros:
a. PCD is an application use to migrate older versions[6.1.5, 7.x , 8.x] running on MCS to VM servers.
b.It can be used to change the IP address or hostname on new servers without affecting existing version .
c. Many users using MCS Hardware are not willing to migrate to latest version because of existing HW not supporting interim releases which they have to hop through to get on to the target release.
d. Further, this requires license re-hosting as well for interim releases and major downtimes as well which can be avoided by using PCD without disturbing existing setup.
e. Also, DRAM/HDD sizing needs to be considered while doing migration on MCS.PCD addresses these issues for migration.
Under CONS:
a. It needs to be ordered through Product Upgrade Tool and bootable is not downloadable from Cisco site.
b. You could face some issues while doing migration which could be bugs but can be resolved.
c.could face issues while discovering cluster/doing migration but can be resolved.
regds,
aman

Weblogic 10.0mp1 domain migration over windows to weblogic12c

Need to know the migration steps while migrating the weblogic domain 10.0 mp1 hosted over windows server 2008 to another windows machine and the weblogic should be 12.2 .
The admin server is running with 3 managed server in prodcution.Can anyone suggest the possible ways?Can i use the domain migration utility GUI as provided over 12C ?

Hello.
The "server restart needed" is handle by wlst like this: http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs100/config_scripting/config_WLS.html#wp1029452
Furthermore: http://download-llnw.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13222_01/wls/docs92/config_scripting/reference.html#wp1153965 but I still don"t know if a MBean is modified with this attribute, anyway, it could suffice for you script I think.
Regards.

Still about domain alias and domain migration

Our company is under a domain name transition. Currently, our domain is lab.D.com, and we are moving to aaa.com.During the transition, we wish both domains could work for us for a long time.
I added a domain alias aaa.com for our domain lab.D.com, the ldif shows:
dn: dc=aaa, dc=com, o=internet
objectclass: alias
objectclass: inetDomainAlias
aliasedObjectName: dc=lab, dc=D, dc=com, o=internet
dc: aaa
after restarting msg server, I can send email to [email protected] which is acutually [email protected]
However, this is only half-way to my goal. I wish our emails at receivers' mailboxes were [email protected], not [email protected], if we send emails though loging in web mail typing [email protected] in the user ID box, or by creating [email protected] accounts in MS Outlook.
===> Is there any way to do it?
===> can [email protected] account be created in MS Outlook?
In another post about domain migration, you suggested:
If you want to stop using the old domain, and make the new domain your "default domain", that's a little harder. It involves several steps:
1. changing all the mail addresses.
2. changing the "default domain" settings everywhere.
===> I wonder, how to do it? is there any command? ldapmodify?
as an alternative approach, if we decide to change our email addresses to [email protected] first,
===> will emails sending to either [email protected] or [email protected] arrive at users who are still in the lab.D.com, if I only change all the mail addresses' domian part to aaa.com since I have added domain alias aaa.com?
and, I do not think sending emails from [email protected] to the internet would be a problem, right???
The iMS we use is iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 (built Feb 21 2002), Directory Server is 4.16 which are very old versions :(
Thanks.

I make no claim to be a programmer, nor am I expert
with ldap commands.
I know of no easy way to change all, other than
export to ldif, and use a global change with a text
editor, and then re-import.So, db2ldif -> change in text editor -> ldif2db, right?
Another question here is about Direct LDAP.
I enabled Direct LDAP.
aaa.com is the domain alias to lab.oldD.com (our old domain).
I also have changed user alas' email addresss from alas@ lab.oldD.com to [email protected] and added mailAlternateaddress for alas as [email protected], as you instructed in previous posts.
However, whenever I click "send" either to aaa.com or lab.oldD.com, it shows errors, for examples, - "Returning unknown or illegal alias: [email protected]", "Returning unknown or illegal alias: [email protected]"
The log shows:

Update query is slow with merge replication

Hello friend,
I have a database with enabling merge replication.
Then the problem is update query is taking more time.
But when I disable the merge triggers then it'll update quickly.
I really appreciate your
quick response.
Thanks.

Hi Manjula,
According to your description, the update query is slow after configuring merge replication. There are some proposals for you troubleshooting this issue as follows.
1. Perform regular index maintenance, update statistics, re-index, on the following Replication system tables.
    •MSmerge_contents
    •MSmerge_genhistory
    •MSmerge_tombstone
    •MSmerge_current_partition_mappings
    •MSmerge_past_partition_mappings
2. Make sure that your tables involved in the query have suitable indexes. Also do the re-indexing and update the statistics for these tables. Additionally, you can use
Database Engine Tuning Advisor to tune databases for better query performance.
Here are some related articles for your reference.

Add article in merger replication

hello everyone,
is there any way to add article in already configured publication in merge replication with out snapshot of entire database.
as per my query it take snapshot of only newly added article not for entire db.
for example:
the distance between publisher and subscriber is 1200 km.
db size=50 gb(it's already configured in merge replication) after that as per our requirement I added one new article(size 1 gb) for that database, if I run snapshot agent it take whole db snapshot it's time consuming.
when I add one article in transaction replication it take snapshot of newly added article only. like that any way in merge replication.

No, this is not possible with Merge Replication. You must generate a full snapshot, however, only the newly added article will be synchronized with existing subscribers.
