NEW Domain Controller to Replace Old One
After you demote the physical machine, but before you change the new machine , make sure to carefully go through all your DNS zones and delete the references to the IP and Host Name of the demoted machine. I found that demoting DCs doesn't do a good job of cleaning out DNS.
I'm building a new DC for my network and have a couple of questions.
I currently have 2 DCs, one is a VM (DC1 also FSMO) and the other a physical box (DC2). DC2 is on aging equipment and needs replacing so my plan was to build a new box and create a new DC, but I want to put the IP address from DC2 on the new DC (DC3) so I don't have to change the DNS config on all of my client PCs.
How would you go about this? - I'm thinking, get DC3 up and running (fully configured as a DC) then demote DC2 and decommission it, then change the IP of DC3 to the address that was used by DC2.
It seems a little too easy and I feel like I'm missing something so I thought I'd ask the Spice Heads :)
Thanks

New Airport Extreme to replace old one
Bought new Airport/Time Capsule to replace my old Airport Extreme. Can I somehow just move/upgrade profile so as not to write again all the mac addresses of my peripherals/computers/ipads/ipod/etc? Should I connect them both first and then choose which one to run existing home network? Thanks for help.
Thanks to this thread, I was able to replicate the suggested steps to replace an old 2nd generation AEBS with a new 2TB Time Capsule while also retaining my prior configuration settings. I am in a Windows 7 environment. The process did not go 100% smoothly, but wound up being fine. My experience may help others hoping to transfer their current AEBS settings to an upgraded Airport.
Based on the advice in other threads, with my current (old) AEBS up and running, I first connected by current AEBS to my new Time Capsule via an ethernet cable into one of the LAN ports. I then powered up the new Time Capsule and launched windows networking center and my Airport Utility.
The new Time Capsule was quickly found and I proceeded to follow the menu steps where I was presented with the convenient option to replace my current network. I did this, and it all seemed to work fine, but I did not see any messages instructing me to swap the connecting cables to the new Time Capsule...
...My newly configured Time Capsule the disappeared from my Airport Utility and a message said it could not be found. I panicked a little here, and did a reset, and rebooted my PC, and then started the process all over again. This time, after configuring the new Time Capsule, and the same disappearance in Airport Utility, I went to the Windows Networking center and found the TC, launched it, and Airport Utility gave me a message saying the new TC needed to be plugged into a modem. I figured this is what I needed to do the first time around, but I was waiting for the Airport Utility to tell me to do so (I was a bit too passive). So, I connected the modem to the TC via the WAN port, moved my two other ethernet connections to their LAN ports, and the TC turned green. Nice!
However, my Airport Express, which I used to extend my network, then disappeared from the Aiport Utility. I figured cos things changed in my overall configuration. I then took another 5th generation AEBS I had waiting in the wings and set that up instead to extend my network, and that was very quick and error free. So, I now have a new TC and 5th generation AEBS providing my wired and wifi network in my NYC apt. Cool. -
New Domain Controller does not show in our different site's Domain controller's Sites and Services
Hi,
we have two sites in our AD environment. OMA site and NY site. we have three domain controllers in our OMA site and two domain controllers in our NY site. All our DCs are windows server 2008R2 except one in our OMA site that is 2003R2 the domain
functional level is also 2003R2.
We decided to raise our functional level to 2008R2. I added a new domain controller in our OMA site and transferred all FESMOS from the DC that was running 2003R2 to this new domain controller.
the issue now is that our NY site does not make any connection with the new domain controller in OMA site. it does not even show it under sites and services. I have checked the DNS settings and everything. if you try to replicate the connections
from NY site it gives the following error: "The naming context is in the process of being removed or is not replicated from the specific server."
can anyone plz tell me why this is happening mt brain is just frozen at this moment and cant figure out why is this happeningJust noticed this replication issue has been going on for a while now but we never noticed until I added new DC. here is the error log for the NY site DC.
Log Name: Directory Service
Source: Microsoft-Windows-ActiveDirectory_DomainService
Date: 1/4/2014 8:11:40 AM

Computer: NORDC1.vertrue.com
Description:
It has been too long since this machine last replicated with the named source machine. The time between replications with this source has exceeded the tombstone lifetime. Replication has been stopped with this source.
The reason that replication is not allowed to continue is that the two DCs may contain lingering objects. Objects that have been deleted and garbage collected from an Active Directory Domain Services partition but still exist in the writable partitions
of other DCs in the same domain, or read-only partitions of global catalog servers in other domains in the forest are known as "lingering objects". If the local destination DC was allowed to replicate with the source DC, these potential lingering object
would be recreated in the local Active Directory Domain Services database.
Time of last successful replication:
2013-05-16 15:26:38
Invocation ID of source directory server:
9236ac56-d046-4632-b072-acbe823c5f6c
Name of source directory server:
accde843-11b2-476c-9783-9b29252d0ba5._msdcs.vertrue.com
Tombstone lifetime (days):
90
The replication operation has failed.
User Action:
The action plan to recover from this error can be found at
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=314282.
If both the source and destination DCs are Windows Server 2003 DCs, then install the support tools included on the installation CD. To see which objects would be deleted without actually performing the deletion run "repadmin /removelingeringobjects
<Source DC> <Destination DC DSA GUID> <NC> /ADVISORY_MODE". The eventlogs on the source DC will enumerate all lingering objects. To remove lingering objects from a source domain controller run "repadmin /removelingeringobjects <Source
DC> <Destination DC DSA GUID> <NC>".
If either source or destination DC is a Windows 2000 Server DC, then more information on how to remove lingering objects on the source DC can be found at
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=314282 or from your Microsoft support personnel.
If you need Active Directory Domain Services replication to function immediately at all costs and don't have time to remove lingering objects, enable replication by setting the following registry key to a non-zero value:
Registry Key:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters\Allow Replication With Divergent and Corrupt Partner
Replication errors between DCs sharing a common partition can prevent user and compter acounts, trust relationships, their passwords, security groups, security group memberships and other Active Directory Domain Services configuration data to vary between
DCs, affecting the ability to log on, find objects of interest and perform other critical operations. These inconsistencies are resolved once replication errors are resolved. DCs that fail to inbound replicate deleted objects within tombstone lifetime
number of days will remain inconsistent until lingering objects are manually removed by an administrator from each local DC. Additionally, replication may continue to be blocked after this registry key is set, depending on whether lingering objects are
located immediately.
Alternate User Action:
Force demote or reinstall the DC(s) that were disconnected.

500GB TC Hard Drive Failed: What Model Drive Do I Use To Replace Old One?
Dear Fellow Mac'ers:
Hopefully my title is pretty straightforward. My TC HD died. The router is fine.
1. What drive do I get to replace old one - Seagate Baracada ES? If so, what model?
2. How to info would be great - I'm hoping it will be easy.
3. What kind of installation do I need to do software-wise before operating again
Thanks!!!!
erniesfoSorry, it's been well over a year since I swapped out my drive. I believe there was an Hitachi drive in the device when I pulled it and I took it to an electronics / computer store to to get a drive that was physically the same size with more hard drive capacity. I used a Seagate drive for the replacement.
The article implies that drives from other manufacturers will work and I think recent generation TC's use another drive manufacturer. I would first pull the drive and take some measurements of dimensions...height, width and length and get some specs on the drives you are considering to compare and make sure that the new drive will fit into the allocated space.
As with any new purchase, I would suggest that you get a clear understanding of the store's return policy, just in case things don't work out as planned.
There are lots of articles on swapping out drives on a Time Capsule on the internet. Google something "what drive is used in a Time Capsule" and you'll see lots of stuff. -
Adding new domain controller under tree domain
i have one forest root domain is ABC.com and one tree root domain under this forest is DEF.com ,
i want to add a new domain controller under tree root domain in windows server 2008 r2? i need steps and DNS configuration on forest or domain level
ThnxIf you want to add an additional domain controller to a domain you should promote the new dc with the primary dns in the nic settings of the new dc pointing at the current dc and once promoted you should point the original ip address nic settings to
the new dc. I am making the assumption that you are using AD integrated DNS.

New Domain controller, DNS client settings before FSMO transfer
I recently promoted a new domain controller. It is the fourth domain controller and third in the site. I plan to decommission the other two domain controllers in the site leaving just the new one. Right now the new domain controller points
its tcp\ip client to the other other domain controller\DNS servers as primary and itself at the bottom. The other domain controllers point to themselves as primary and the newest domain controller on the bottom of the list. Clients on the network
use the original domain controllers as DNS from DHCP first and then the new domain controller DNS. Is it okay to transfer all the FSMO roles to the new domain controller or should I make all the DNS clients point to it first?Hi,
It is possible to first change your FSMO roles and after this is done then point your DNS clients to the new DC. This should not be a problem.
some interesting information about assigning your FSMO Roles: http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/pub/a/windows/2004/06/15/fsmo.html
Hope this helps you out. -
I can't update apps on my iphone 5. theirs an old apple ID. That I don't have the pass word. I've created a new apple ID. but the old one keeps popping up. I have it on the Itunes on the phone but the old one keeps comming up and asking for a pass word.
Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. You will have to delete the apps from the phone and re-purchase them using your Apple ID.

I have purchased a new iPad and given my old one to my husband. How do I change the Apple ID over to him. We are having continuous confusion between the two iPads
Hi Marg42,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
First, your husband can create his own Apple ID via the web, computer, or iPad, if he hasn't already:
My Apple ID
https://appleid.apple.com
iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2731
Next, he can sign out of the Apple services that are currently using your Apple ID on your old iPad, and sign in with his own.
This article has instructions for doing so for specific Apple services:
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
Alternately, he can erase the device and set it up as new using the steps in this article:

I had Premier pro given me by the college I attend and do no use wi fi and do not use cloud. My laptop completely died and will be sent back to Apple for exchange. How can I reinstall Premier Pro on a new Apple computer since the old one is completly dead and could not be unregistered?
Hi,
You have not specified which version of Premiere Pro was given to you. If you don't have the disc (which i suppose you don't have) you will have to download it online.
As far as your registration is concerned, for Premiere Pro CS6 or earlier you will have to reach Adobe chat support for further help: http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html
For Premiere Pro CC and later, you will not have much problems reactivating it.
Thanks,

I recently aquired a new iphone 4s because my old one broke. I backed it up on my itunes but now it wont give me the option of using the phone, it just says connect to itunes. I have synced it several times now and dont know what to do, please help me!!
I recently created a new apple ID
Bad idea.
Content bought with an Apple ID is forever associated with that Apple ID. Apple will not transfer content from one Apple ID to another and Apple will not merge Apple IDs. Unless you are prepared to forfeit all the previously purchased content and buy it all again with the new Apple ID, you will need to maintain the old ID to update and redownload your content. -
I have a new hard drive as my old one crashed. Everything seemed to transfer fine except for my entire iTunes library. It shows all of my old songs, but when I click on one it states "the song could not be used as the original file could not be found.would you like to locate it".
Either how do I locate it, and I've tried every trick I know, or how do I restore all of my songs from one of two sources. I have my old hard drive backedup on an external drive which should have all of my songs, and I have most of my songs on my old iPhone 3S which I'm using as a backup iPod.The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

I have just bought a new iPhone and gave my old one to my Mum. My problem is that even with a new SIM and phone number I seem to be getting her messages as well as mine on my thread. They are also being recorded as both sent and received so she must be paying twice for each SMS sent. Help please
Wipe iPhone/iPad/iPod touch clean
There are a few steps to do:
Switch off iMessage in Settings > Messages
Switch off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime (iPod touch 4th Generation or later, iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later)
Delete iCloud in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
Finally Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Un-register your device: https://supportprofile.apple.com
Now you can sell/give.
Now, you should get her a new Apple ID to sign in the options above. -
I want my new iPad mini to use my new Apple ID, not the old one that pops up without seemingly giving me the choice to update the Apple ID user name; as a result I haven't been able to update my APPS for some time. I changed my apple ID when I got a new e mail address a few months ago .
Any apps you have installed from the old AppleID will always be tied to that AppleID. You have no choice but to enter the password for the old AppleID if you want to update apps downloaded using that ID.
The only way to stop being asked for the password for the old AppleID is to remove all apps from the device that were downloaded using that old AppleID.
You'd then need to re-download (and re-purchase) any apps you want to keep using under the new AppleID.
Apps cannot be transferred between AppleIDs.
