New Server 2.0 to 2.2 migration advice

Hi, we are getting a new server and we are going to port our apps to the new box.
As part of this we were thinking of upgrading to 2.2
Our current platform is linux, 10G rel 1, and HTML_DB 2.0
I'm just looking for advice on the vertion of 10g , 1, 2 or 3 to use

Thank you Mark ,
This is a very quick and complete answer and I was lucky enough to be able to download the needed software.
Unfortunately, when I tried to upgrade Phtoshop Album Starter Edition 2.0 to 3.2, it says that the tags will be kept ( saved ), but when opening 3.2, all pictures are there, but no tag at all ....
Is there anything else ( or more ) I could try to recover those tags ?
Thank you for your help.

Server 2003 SBS (with Exchange 2003) migrate to new machine Server 2012 Standard (with Exchange 2013)

This is what I have:
A very outdated machine running a small domain, SBS 2003 and Exchange - this is the ONLY server currently.
This is what my boss ordered:
A Dell R210 II machine with Server 2012 Standard (and I downloaded the trial for Exchange 2013).
He wants the old server completely replaced and gone - with everything moved over (including Exchange) to the new machine. The main reason for the upgrade is that not all users can access email on their machines (Macs, new versions of Outlook, etc.)
I have set up a new standalone server before but never migrated one - and I've found that going from SBS2003/Exchange2003 to Server2012/Exchange2013 is not simple in the least.
I thought I could just set up the new server as a DC on the domain and have everything replicated to it from the source server. Then I could decommission the old server. I have been told that 1) I can't upgrade Exchange 2003 to 2013 and 2) that I shouldn't
put Exchange on a DC. What do you do if you only have the one server?

Hi,

Migrating Reporting Services to new Server - Subscriptions are not transfering

Hello,
I have an instance of SQL Server 2008R2 running on Windows Server 2008. It is setup to be a reporting server. There are many subscriptions that are scheduled and run on this server. We are wanting to move to Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server
2012. So, we have built out a new VM and I have exported from the current server the ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB and have imported them to the new server. I have resolved the one Orphaned user that happened and went to look for the subscriptions
so that I could disable them so they wouldn't run. I could not find any.
select * from msdb.dbo.sysjobs where enabled = 1 and category_id = 100.
no rows...
I had read from other posts to let it sit for a few days and they will appear. I have waited 2 weeks.
So, what am I missing? I would prefer to do a clean install and migrate the data over rather than upgrading the OS and SQL.
Thanks

Hi Sql Dude,
Per my undersranding that you can't find any informamation related to the subscription in the sydjobs table after migration, right?
You issue can be caused by many factors.Please check details information below:
Please check if you can see all the subscription in the report manager and can create new subscriptions. The ReportServer database used by SSRS to store the subscriptions maintains a record of the subscription owner (as well as audit fields) which track
the user accounts that have created/modified the subscriptions.
If you can't see subscription on the report manager and can create new subscriptions, the issue can be caused by "My subscriptions" had been created on the original non-domain server(Local User account). Therefore, once the instance was migrated
to a new server on the domain, said Local User was no longer available. Every user with access to the ReportServer database has an entry created in the Users table and a unique GUID generated.
To work around the issue, you can do a SQL Update query to changed the OwnerID and ModifiedByID fields on the Subscriptions table to relate to the GUID of the equivalent user on the domain.Tip:
Change the Owner of SQL Reporting Services Subscription
If you can see all the subsription on the report manager but can't find any job, please try to edit and update the subscription to see if it will recreate the job again and please also try to provide more details information in the log file to see if you
got some error message, the path like:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.SQLEXPRESS\Reporting Services\LogFiles
If above didn't help, please reference to the similar thread below:
Can't access SSRS 2008 R2 subscriptions after migration
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Migrating Crystal Reports Server XI to a new Server

Post Author: david_okeefe
CA Forum: Deployment
Hi,I am trying to migrate an existing Crystal Reports installation from an old server to a new server. To prevent interruption of service, the new server must be able to be online at the same time as the old server (thus it must have a different name). I installed Crystal Reports Server XI and told it to create its CMS database by copying the existing CMS database. Unfortunately, I received an unspecified error ("failed to received first object from source database"). After that, I opted to create a new, default CMS database. I tried using the import wizard to migrate the reports to the new server. The import wizard managed to bring over all of the folders, users, and groups, but not any of the reports. When I looked at the migration log, it gave me an error stating that it could not find the parent folder. I have no real idea how to address this issue. On a related note, I also do not know how to point crystal at the reports repository on the new server. I tried using the Data Source Migration wizard to copy the reports from the old server to the new server. Unfortunately, it didn't appear to register any of the new reports. Given what I have already tried, I am not sure how to proceed.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks,David

Migrating CA but CA role was already on new server. Whats the worst that can happen?

Here's a little background for this migration.
Old environment was SBS 2008. Everything baked into one server.
New environment we are migrating to is Server 2012 R2. Will have 8 different 2012 r2 VMs varied by roles. Since this is a small network we are putting the CA on the DC (Called NewDC1).
NewDC1 was configured to mirror the old servers Active Directory, etc. BUT NewDC1 when installed was given the AD CS role as well. From everything I've read it says to backup all settings on the old CA, decommission the old server then install the ADCS
role on the new one and restore the backed up files.
BUT since we already have the ADCS role on the new DC. Should I go ahead and uninstall it. Proceed with the steps to backup and uninstall the exchange server role on the old(not decommission the server since we still need it up to decommission the dc correctly).
Then re-install the role on the new server? Also what issue would you run into with the server not being the same name since that's not even a option?

Is the role installed and ADCS configured as a CA on the new server? In 2012, the role install and configuration process are broken into two separate phases. So if its just installed and not configured, then there's no issue. If however its already been
configured as a CA and it has issued certificates, then anything you have issued from it will be invalidated after the migration.
For the migration itself, since you are renaming the computer that the CA is running on you DEFINITELY want to review the migration process - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee126170(v=WS.10).aspx. There are several steps you will need to
perform otherwise the CA will not work properly on the destination server.
Lastly, it is NEVER recommended to put the CA on a DC. Too hard to migrate or manage the domain, let alone security issues. I would recommend putting it on a dedicated member server, or if you must, at least one that isnt a DC.

Migrating Non ASM, Non RMAN to New Server with ASM and RMAN - Possible?

We currently have a database ( Oracle 10g R1 ) on a Sun Solaris server that is NOT using ASM or RMAN. The database is about 300GB. We are getting a new server and we want to install Oracle 10g R2 with ASM and RMAN and migrate the database.
I have seen the documentation on migrating non ASM to an ASM server but the methods all use RMAN. Is it possible to migrate to an ASM database without using RMAN? Would datapump import/export work if I created a new database on the new server with all the same tablespaces? Or, do I have to bite the bullet, install RMAN on the old server and do the backup?
Thanks.

If you're not using RMAN that doesn't mean you can't use it to perform a single backup, rman is contained in every oracle RDBMS installation version 10G or higher.
this is only a sample of how to do it
RMAN> CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '<file_system_path>/%U.DBF';
--first we allocate the channel default channel.
RMAN>RUN
ALLOCATE CHANNEL DEFAULTCHANNEL TYPE DISK;
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
STARTUP MOUNT;
BACKUP DATABASE;
SHUTDOWN
}then once you have it, you can do what you want.
It should also be possible to manually restore the database from the original datafiles but it's better to follow the solution involving RMAN.

Migrating existing portable homes to new server

aside from moving the homedir data from the old server to the new, there seem to be at least a few issues with migrating existing portable home accounts to a new server:
1. some of users' account details, like GeneratedUID, authentication authority, kerberos principals, OriginalNFSHomeDirectory, are different, while others (name, shortname, UID, GID, etc.) remain the same.
2. home directory (OriginalNFSHomeDirectory, etc.) point to the old server.
3. there's data on local machines that we don't sync back to the server, so we can't just blow away the existing local accounts and start fresh.
the quickest way to migrate these users to the new server (with all the same shortnames and UIDs, etc.) seems to be to remove the local cached accounts (leaving the home folders) and have them recreate new PHDs on login, syncing things back down to the original home folder. i'm guess this won't involve much syncing, it's all the same data, essentially.
the other way i can see resolving this is to replace the account attributes for each client to match what they should be when pointed to the new server. this would involve scripting the process for reliability and not moving any data or deleting accounts, but it will take more testing on my part.
what do you think? can you think of better ways to accomplish this task?
summary: what's the best way to move existing portable home accounts bound to "Server A" to "Server B," while maintaining data and portable homes pointed to the new server and storage?
thanks.

that createmobileaccount syntax was wrong. i guess you don't need the -t option and can instead specify the whole path to the user's home. it seems to work well enough, creating a portable home with no default sync settings -- basically manual. for my needs that's fine. the sync settings are managed via mcx anyway.
here's an updated version of the standalone script. i realized just now the script assumes the diradmin usernames and passwords are the same between servers. if that's not the case, you can hard code it or add a couple of variables. since they're just taken in order on stdin, add them in order. i should also add a function to interactively ask for the passwords with stty -echo to avoid having the passes logged in command history or allowing the script to curl the pass from another file on a web server or something. for now, this seems to work for my purposes. edit as you see fit.

Not able to recreate virtual desktops after migrating to new server

Hello Everyone,
I need some help please,
I migrated our roles and VMs to new system,I basically joined the new servers to the existing failover cluster, installed all VDI roles and after moving all roles and VMs to the new servers, I removed the old servers from the cluster.
everything seems working fine except recreating the virtual desktops collection.
when I try to do so, I get this error message:
"The RD Connection Broker server does not have access to add the
virtual desktops to the Active Directory domain. Configure access by
using the Active Directory page of Deployment Properties."
I did some searches for this error and from AD Users and Computers tool -> security tab of root node (domain/OU) I gave full permission to the new server.
another strange thing, is that I no longer can modify the domain and OU setting when I click on
"Edit Deployment"
the fields are grayed and no longer editable.
please advise.
Thanks

Thanks -TP,
I got it to work , the first time I tried to create a new collection , the master vm export failed with permission errors, later on It passed. after that I dropped a collection and recreated the vms of the first collection.
it is not clear to me yet, why this happened and how it got fixed but for now it is working.
Thanks again.

Migrating to new server: advice! :)

Hi!
My current GroupWise 2012 SP2 server is a SuSE 10 SP4 and I need to migrate to a new server!
I currently have 5% disk space left and have ordered additional drives, but while I'm going through the hassle and word is Windemere is not going to be supported on SuSE 10, I've decided to set-up and configure a new server.
This is my plan (this is my first migration) so any suggestions, advice, LOOKOUT FORs, would be welcome with open arms!
The current GroupWise server is a virtual machine on XenServer 6.1 with a NAS attached.
After I install the addition drives, here is my plan of attack:
1. Start up a new SuSE 11 SP2 server.
Notes: The old GroupWise server had a 20 GB disk allocated: 502 MB for /boot and 17.4 GB for / and 2.0 swap
GroupWise files are mounted at /var/opt/novell/groupwise with a 750 GB allocation (it's 83 Linux native).
I think I will double that (40 GB allocation) for room to grow.
Question: What would you recommend LVM or NSS for the partition that will hold GroupWise?
(I will have about 2 TB to work with).
2. Install GroupWise on the new server with the same po/domain name as 'old' server?
3. Install eDirectory on the new server and bring it into a new tree.
4. Perform a Gwava Reload migration.
5. Shutdown eDirectory on 'old' server, backup and restore on new server, then shutdown old server, reboot new server after modifying server name & IP to match old server.
6. Run DSRepair to insure new server is in sync.?
Comments welcome! Stan

Maybe you can do the follow, if you have a small downtime.
1 .Stop GW, make a "chkconfig grpwise off", change IP of the server, reboot and configure the old IP as a secondary(with yast). Then you can start GW again(and "chkconfig grpwise on)".
2. Install a new server with a new name and new IP in the tree.
3. Install the GW-Agents on the new server and copy the config-files (*.poa,*.mta, web?, gwia?, /etc/opt/novell/...gwha.conf) from the old server, and "chkconfig grpwise off"
4. In XEN you can expand the 750GB VOL and then the ext3 or you create a new VOL in XEN and mount it on the same place (/var/opt/novell/groupwise) BACKUP before expand !!
5. If you have a new VOL make simply a rsync to the new VOL, online for the first time
6. Online-Rsync(with delete-option) you can make ever day to see the consumed time, you can use also dbcopy, but this didnt delete old files
7. On Day X you stop GW on old server, make a final rsync (or dbcopy, if you like)
8. remove secondary IP from old server and configure this IP as a secondary to the new server.
9. start GW (if you use gwmonitor its easy to configure it new with the install of GW)
Similar "IP-mechanism" use a GW-Cluster.
In XEN you can make (or you have) a separate network to check this after the first rsync. Switch the server to this network, give the seconday IP and start GW and check the gw-logs and/or start GW with X-Window, if you have runlevel 5 or xming.
Because you have today > 750GB you should think about a second Postoffice, because the handling of big volumes(Backup, Snapshot,...)
That you can make after moving to the new server. Simply build a 2. GW-Server, create a second PO with C1 (or you wait to windermere ??) and move some user.
A Client with the old IP that moved on the new PO is automatically redirected.

Migrating to new server - Can anyone save me some time?

Hi all!
I've got a very basic Tiger server setup... only running services are firewall, ftp, mail and web. Web service is supporting 6 virtually hosted domains, and mail service is carrying 1-6 users (eMail accounts) for each of the 6 domains. I'm migrating the web service by manually re-configuring it all on the new machine and moving /library/webserver/documents on a DVD.
Is there a short list of files/directories I can copy over to preserve my mail accounts, users and mail messages? I have a remote user who can't change any settings in her Mail.app, and another user with 4000+ mail messages in his IMAP inbox. One guy has all of his photos and junk sorted into 12 user-created folders within his inbox. Needless to say, I'm in seriously hot water if there is too much disturbance and anything is lost.
Downtime is not an issue - I can stop services for several hours if need be.
Right now my plan is to use mailbfr to backup everything it can, but I don't believe that will move my user account database, will it? I would like to simply clone the HD and drag it to the new server, but the old machine is a G5 and the new one is Intel, so I have my doubts.
Ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Hi
Launch WorkGroup Manager and select the node you are interested in or the node that has all your users; eg: local NetInfo or /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1. Command+A will select all the users in the node, but make sure you de-select the Server admin or Directory admin accounts (depending on which node you are in) as you dont want to transfer those over. Next click on the Server Menu and select Export and save the user list file to a desired location. Do the same for groups. The process works in reverse on the new server. Bear in mind passwords are not transferred over. You can transfer passwords over but it is not a trivial thing to attempt. There is a technical article available on afp548 that outlines how you can do this if you feel brave enough

Migrating IR Reporting to new server

We are moving from an old production Workspace server to a new one. It will be the same version of Hyperion (11.1.2.1) and have the same name - this is simply a Hardware upgrade. The problem is that there will also be a new repository database server. Is there a way to migrate the repository from the old server to the new one?
The issue is this: We have lots of users that have saved Interactive Reports (IR), and if the reports won't run after the migration, there will be a great wailing and gnashing of teeth from our user community. Joking aside, we would very much like to avoid this. We are told that LCM is the proper methodology for migrating - will it also preserve the repository entries so saved IR reports will continue working? If not, what can we do?
thanks,
-pat

LCM is the best way to migrate from environments or even between apps on the same environment. So you shold be fine to:
1. create LCM
2. install new server, hyperion software,
3. restore via LCM
The only issue I could see coming up relates to the ip address which would be different from old to new server, which is why LCM should get around that.
*I haven't used LCM for IR reports specifically, but all for other workspace items: FR, WA reports and user settings are migrated if you chose to do so.
Here are a couple of useful links:

Migrating web sites to new server

Hello all,
just got a new Mac Mini Server edition with the latest Snow Leopard etc. I am migrating all my various sites from the old server which was just running standard Leopard. I am having a hard time finding where everything goes. If anyone can point me to some good tutorials on setting of web hosting using Snow Leopard I'd really appreciate it.
For example, we use the server for local testing only, not public serving so on the old server we'd just go to http://192.168.1.5/sitename and that worked great. So where the heck is htdocs located on Server? Most of are sites are PHP/MySQL stuff like Wordpress and Joomla etc. So I'm guessing I'll need to enabled PHP 5 and MySQL and all that. I've got a few good tutorials bookmarked for that, but if anyone has a great Server specific one, let me know. I'll be porting everything using phpMyAdmin.
Looking at the help info for the Web Server Preferences, it says adding sites is for static HTML sites of which I have basically none.
I'm going through the Server booklet that came with the Mini, but I could really use some tips on where to put things like our shared project folders etc. I'm new to this server configuration stuff. Thanks a ton for any tips!

I am trying to do the same thing. I have an old Leopard server that has some internal websites on it. I am planning to migrate them over to a new Snow Leopard server this summer. I am just now starting to play with it. I wave been able to successfully move over wikis, but am having trouble with the user blogs.
To move the wikis, I found them in /Library/Collaborarion/Groups. Each wiki was listed as a separate directory. I moved the contents of the groups folder over to the new server in the same directory, and changed the permissions to those directories to match what they should be. To do this, I went into Server Admin and file sharing and browsed to the Groups folder (no further in) and propogated the permissions (owner and group names) down to the contents of the Group folder fo that each user and group was _teamserver. Shop and restart web server and the wikis were back.
I tried to do the same for the users, but that does not seem to work. Still trying some things there. I did not do any of the things that power mac suggested with php or mysql.
Hopefully, this works for you. I will try to post if I can figure out the user blogs. I would have thought they would have worked the same way as the wikis, but they were in the users folder instead of the groups folder. They are all listed there in the finder, but they do not show up in the web interface when I list the user websites in snow leopard.

Migrating to new server subscriptions are missing

Hello,

Migrating Exchange 2013 public mailboxes to a new server

We have a client that is leaving their current Hosting company and wants to move to our hosting facility. We have recreated their DC,an Exchange Hub, and Exchange Store. We have exported and imported all of their recipient mailboxes and flipped the switch
and all mail flow is now going through our hosting facility. The problem lies in that I can not figure out how to move the public mailboxes out of the old exchange server and import it into the new server. Both are Exchange 2013 and running on windows server
2012. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You're looking at a third-party product. MigrationWiz does public folders. There are other cloud-based migration solutions, but I don't know whether they support public folder migrations.

Can you upgrade from 1.3.0.20 small ovf to 2.1 without migrating to a new server? It sounds like you can just adjust the server settings now.

Can you upgrade from 1.3.0.20 small ovf to 2.1 without migrating to a new server? It sounds like you can just adjust the server settings now. I am currently running 1.3.0.20 and I have enough to do with also needing to upgrade my wlc to 7.4.121.0 and getting the MSE up to 7.4.121.0 without having to stand up a new server if I don't have to. Please share any information you have in regards to your experience with coming from a version 1.2-1.3 small ovf and going to 2.1.
Thanks,

You are better off standing up a new server. It's cleaner and safer..... you can always try to upgrade if you wish, but if things don't work out well, then you just wasted a lot of time. Snapshot the VM and export the floor plans, just in case. The ova is built around the DB size, so I don't know how well the DB will perform if you try to expand memory or drive space after an upgrade.
