Options for Migrating/Renaming an OpenDirectory Server

I'm relatively new to OD, although I am a long time administrator of AD and Unix.
I've been configuring some environments with Mavericks 3.1.2 server running OD and Mavericks clients.
I'm curious about what the strategy is for renaming an OD domain/realm.
Say I initially install on serverA.domain.com.
Is it supported to rename to serverB.domain.com?
What if I need to rename the entire domain ServerA.newdomain.com?
I've had limited success with testing all things OD related, the documentation is so mixed with prior versions that it is very difficult to determine what is actually supported or proper procedure.
It seems that when you instantiate your OD and it creates your certificate authority that root authority is bound to your server name.  Additionally, a restore of an archived OD will only restore to the original server name.
While you could always of course build at least a temporary server with the original name, there may be other integration considerations that would prohibit you from maintaining that name.
Are there any options for moving from one host/domain name to another so that all standard authentication functions (i.e kerberos) will continue to work?
I appreciate any guidance or reference to good resources that would cover this in detail.  The more technical and comprehensive the better.
Thank you.

We have tried this but are unable to log in to the v11 planning app after copying the 9.x schema. updatuserd.cmd fails with a comment in the log about v9/v11 version mismatch.
In v9, our users are via an LDAP server and in v11, they will be via AD so the users can't possibly match anyway.
We are wondering how it is possible to migreate our v9 Planning apps to v11 now ...

  • Best options for migrating Samba shares to DFS

    My team is in the process of setting up a new domain for our organization. We want to slowly migrate users from non-AD accounts and workstations to AD (2012). One of the pieces we are having trouble coming to a consensus on is the best method(s) for migrating
    the Samba shares from our RHEL server to DFS. 
    One idea was to join the Samba server to the domain then add the shares into DFS to allow the non-AD users to continue to use the old server and the new users to use the DFS server. As we had time (small team) we would join the individual workstations, have
    the users start using their AD credentials, and move their mapped drives to the DFS share. Later, we could add a DFS server for replication and eventually drop the Samba server once everyone was migrated.
    Another opinion that we should simply copy the departmental shares across to the DFS server and move whole departments rather than individual users, locking down the old Samba shares as we go.
    These are pretty much theoretical at this point as I can't seem to find any documentation on how best to migrate from Samba to DFS. I would appreciate ideas.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You could map drives to old server using the DFS server credential:
    net use \\DFS server\\share  Z:  /user:domain\username password
    Then run the robocopy command to migrate the shared folder from the old server to the DFS server:
    robocopy “\\source server\drive$\folder path” Z:\ /COPYALL /B /SEC /MIR /R:0 /W:0 /LOG:c:\logs\robolog.txt /NFL /NDL
    For more detailed information about the robocopy command, you could refer to the artice below:

  • Request procedure for migrating PPC 10.4 Server setup to Intel 10.4 Server

    Here's the background: I've got a G5 Xserve running 10.4.11 Server. It's and OD Master, Windows PDC and AFP, NFS & SMB file server for my whole department. We've purchased a new Intel Xserve (prior to Leopard - I'm not ready to go there yet), but I'm uncertain about the procedure for moving the setup from the G5 to the Intel box, keeping everything the same and working. I'm keeping the hostname the same, too.
    What's really unclear (since there's no specific documentation on PPC -> Intel migration) is the order in which to do the OD Replica to Master promotion, the Windows BDC -> PDC promotion and the running of "changeip" to use the original host name on the new machine. I've botched the migration up three times so far, and I'd like to get it right the next time.
    I know there can't be two Windows PDCs running concurrently, so I'm assuming that's the last step, but I'm really having trouble with knowing when to run changeip and whether or not the original machine should be running at the same time while changeip is run. Should the OD Replica be promoted before changeip?
    If anyone's moved the functionality of a PPC 10.4 Server to an Intel 10.4 Server and moved the name of the system along with it, I'd love to hear from you.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Process for migrating CMSDK from one server to another

    All:
    We are in the process of migrating our CMSDK installation and database from one server to another. In doing so, we would like to retain our documents and folders and other custom objects that have been created till date. If there is a recommended migration process that you could point us to, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Our initial thought is to:
    1. Install the CMSDK server on the target server machine
    2. Export source CMSDK schema from source database server
    3. Import source CMSDK schema into target database server
    Are we on the right track? If so, are there any pitfalls and issues we can expect to encounter. Any information will be very helpful.
    Thanks

    The utility should help you a lot. The best documentation on how to use the utility is in the 9iFS Setup and Administrators guide (doc number A95995-01) Chapter 8. It pretty much works the same way then as it does now. These are two metalink notes on doing the export/import silently (29928.1 - 177816.1). Doing it silently is very tedious since you having to create numerous .def files and other scripts to run them.
    I will look around for any other stuff I have, but the 9iFS document is very good as a reference no matter what version of CMSDK. If you have problems finding it, I can try to send it to you, but it is around 5.6M.

  • Option for deleting mail from the server?

    Hi,
    I would like for this very thing to happen ...moving mail from my inbox deletes it from the server. However, I've checked that option in the prefs, but it doesn't work.
    I can delete mail [from server] when retrieving it "right away", and I can "remove now", but the "when moved from inbox" options does nothing.
    Any suggestions on how to get this to work?

  • Firewire 800 vs 400 for Migration Assistant

    I'm trying to use Migration Assistant to move stuff from my old iMac, which has Firewire 400 ports to my new iMac which has Firewire 800. I bought a cable that has one plug type on each end, but it seems the two iMacs can't 'see each other' using this cable. Also, if I connect my external LaCie hard drive (which has both)to my new iMac using this cable, it doesn't mount, although it will using a USB2 cable. This isn't an option for Migration Assistant. Any ideas?

    Well, either the cable is bad or your firewire port is bad. Firewire 800 is backward compatible to 400. Try on someone elses mac. If it works on theirs, then your port is suspect.

  • Migrate SBS 2008 to Server 2012 R2 Std

    Thank you for your reply. The Setup is a 2012 HV with three VM's = DC, Exchange and Terminal Server. The Exchange will be 2010. It was decided to stay with Emails on the Server by the company director, we don't require office 365
    I think the migration of 2008 to 2012 dc should be fine, but it was migrating the exchange 2007 to exchange 2010 that I was not sure about, my notes I have were actually for 2003 sbs's that were going to use office 365 so that's why I was enquiring after the email migration
    thanks

    Hello
    We have a SBS 2008 Server that is going to be migrated to Server 2012 R2. The 2012 has two virtual machines - one for the new Domain and the other is for email exchange. We have instructions for migrating a SBS 2003 Server to 2012 Server that we were told was successful - can I apply these same steps to a SBS 2008 Server? IT involves promotion 2012 to DC, migrating AD (FSMO, scheme master global catalog) and migrate dhcp.
    for the emails, is there a MS guide to migrating SBS 2008 mailboxes to the 2012 R2 email server?
    Thanks

  • Howto deploy a temporary exchange 2013 server for migration between two Office 365 accounts?

    Objective:
    We plan to migrate our office 365 from our current tennant (E3) to a new tennant (M) to drastically cut our annual costs for the same services, while retaining the mail and group memberships of all our users. This will involve installing an exchange server
    to download and upload mail from the old tennant to the new tennant.
    Background: 
    We are a longtime O365 customer, and have been a customer since before the "Midsize business" plans existed. There is no "cookie cutter" migration path from E3 to M. Microsoft currently recommends deploying an MS exchange server and off-boarding
    the mailboxes from your E3 subscription and then On-boarding them to a new account under the M plan.  As ridiculous as this is, this is indeed the path our company has decided to go. It isn't cool/fair that we're being shackled to the E plans (that are
    vastly more expensive) when we're a small/midsize business that has been a longtime customer of O365, while new customers of equal size to us can expect to save over $4000 annually. The services (when compared) offered are nearly identical.
    After calling MS support several times for guidance for this issue, I am advised that we should contact a 'partner' and ask for their support in doing this migration. We did as requested and were provided a quote to the tune of approximately $15,000 to do this
    migration for us. Obviously this is unacceptable, and thus our business has decided to rely on my abilities to get it done. Again, involving an MS partner is not an option.
    Environment:
    1 MS AD domain:
    - Original FQDN was @contoso.ca of this domain and UPNs were [email protected]
    - UPN has been changed to [email protected] to allow for ADFS
    - ADFS has been deployed and SSO works for all users with UPN [email protected]
    - An "On-Prem exchange server" does not yet exist
    1 O365 Account where main tennant FQDN is @corp.com
    - There are 5 registered domains
    -contoso.ca
    -corp.com
    - contoso.legacy.ca
    -deprecated/will be deleted
    -deprecated/will be deleted
    - There are 40 E3 licenses, all using a @corp.com UPN
    - There are 5 E1 licenses (we acknowledge that these will be upgraded to an M following the migration) that use the UPN contoso.legacy.ca
    - No accounts currently use contoso.ca for email
    - O365 was upgraded to 'the latest version' sometime in summer 2013.
    Migration Plan (High Level):
    Setup a local windows server (trial license)  
      Deploy an exchange 2013 server (trial license) on the aforementioned windows server  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/hh973395.aspx
      Prepare and deploy Dirsync Deployment
    of Dirsync
      Add exchange to office 365 and begin replicating the mailboxes from the cloud to the exchange server. Wait for synchronization to complete.
    More information: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh534377(v=exchg.150).aspx
    http://help.outlook.com/en-us/140/ff633682.aspx
      Evaluate total time it took to sync data. 
    Time it takes to download data to exchange should be relatively similar to time it takes to restore mail to the new service.
      Open a new office365 account under the M plan.
      Plan a 1 hour mail & contoso.ca domain login outage
      temporarily change all user UPN's to match the new tennant
      perform a dirsync to the new tennant
      disable dirsync after all accounts have been auto-created/provisioned
      re-establish UPN + mail access.
      Plan a date and time for the cut over.
      remove the exchange hybrid server from the old tennant. 
      Point MX records directly to the exchange server.
      Cut office 365 service.
      After the 30 minutes ~ 1 hour 'mandatory' wait time imposed by MS to 'register' the domain with O365, add @corp.com to
    the new tennant
      fix all user UPN's in the cloud to match their real UPN's.
    This can be done with powershell.
      attach exchange hybrid server to new tennant
      Point MX records to the new tennant 
      Migrate all data from the local exchange server to the cloud under the new plan.
    Current progress (Lab):
    I have created a sandbox (Lab with no internet access or connectivity to production) environment in VMware and cloned the following servers to it:
    1x Domain Controller (DC) running windows server 2012 (named DC02)
    1x DC running windows server 2008 R2 (named DC01)
    1x windows server 2012 R2 - prepped with all the pre-requisites to install exchange 2013. (named EXC01)
    Where I am stuck / Problem:
    I have installed exchange on the server EXC01 in the lab environment using my account. I am a domain administrator in the contoso.ca domain, but my UPN is [email protected]. 
    After the installation of exchange, I notice that my email address in Active Directory changed from @corp.com to @contoso.ca. By default, I do not see @corp.com to be an available email address to select as my email address, and changing it in AD does not resolve
    the problem. 
    In the exchange portal, I found "Mail flow ---> Accepted Domains", and believe I should add @corp.com to the accepted domain list. Questions:
    1) Must I add corp.com and the other domains that exist in office 365 to the local exchange before I go through with the hybrid wizard?
    2) If I must add them to exchange, I am provided with three choices: 
    - Authoritative Domain
    - Internal Relay Domain
    - External Relay Domain
    Given that the domain is currently in office365 and is authoritative there, which of these applies?
    3) Most documentation I have found has been about a one way migration from on-prem to the cloud. I have had a hard time finding a step by step guide for cloud to local (new server) and then back to cloud. Does anyone here have any good documentation for this
    process? Would love it if it took into consideration multiple UPN/email addresses.

    Hi,
    Here are my answers you can refer to:
    1. Yes, we should select the primary SMTP domain for our organization and any other accepted domains that will be used in the hybrid deployment:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj200787(v=exchg.150).aspx
    2. It depends on the usage of the specific accepted domain. And Exchange version has no influence.
    To determine it, you can firstly check the function of the three types in the following article:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124423(v=exchg.150).aspx
    3. Here are some reference about the migration from on-premise Exchange server to Office 365:
    http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/office-365/exchange-online/configuring-exchange-2013-hybrid-deployment-migrating-office-365-exchange-online-part1.html

  • ODBC errors for Oracle Migration Workbench and SQL Server 2000 on Windows

    Hi all-
    I setup a new ODBC connection for the Oracle 10g Migration Workbench to MS SQL Server 2000 on Windows XP and keep getting the following errors when I try to
    either test the new ODBC connection to MS SQL Server 2000 for use with the Oracle Migration Workbench tool. Goal is to fix these errors so that I can migrate our test SQL Server 2000 databases to Oracle 10g.
    Current configuration
    - Oracle 10.1 Migration Workbench
    - Oracle 10g Database (target)
    - MS SQL Server 2000 (source database)
    -Windows XP
    -ODBC 3.85.1117 driver for Windows XP with SQL Server and Oracle
    Errors:
    I. When I test the ODBC connection:
    Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver Version 03.85.1117
    Running connectivity tests...
    Attempting connection
    [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]Specified SQL server not found.
    TESTS FAILED!
    Now here is what has me totally confused:
    I can use the command line ISQL to access the database on the server and IP is all correct and port is available. So I can access the SQL Server database fine it is when I try to setup ODBC that it gives me problems.
    Any tips how to get this ODBC working?
    Thanks

    1. Jing Jin. If you had READ the post you would have seen that installing later versions is NOT an option.
    2. Not supported does NOT mean does NOT work, as Balmukund pointed out in the referenced thread.  The site that this databases supports is using ASP which is also NOT supported by Microsoft.  As it turns out Balmukund's solution actually turns
    out to be the correct solution.  I installed SS2K and its Service pack 4 on the machine last night.  Good answer Balmukund. as we say in the Navy, "BRAVO ZULU!!"  which means "WELL DONE!!
    3. Tom Li I just posted the question less than 48 hours ago.  My last post was less than 24 hours ago.  I think I have the right to be given the opportunity to determine whether a reply is the answer or not. I understand you don't like unanswered
    posts sitting around for weeks, months or years. (I don't like it either as I have a few that are still unanswered after several years.)  But you should not be showing replies as answers before I even get a chance to see them, much less try them out. 
    You should also not be showing replies as answers which don't address the criteria of the question.  I specifically stated that I had to install SS2K.  I went on to state, "And before anyone asks I need to install this version because that is what
    the customer is using and I need to duplicate their databases."  So the correct answer, if in fact SS2K did not work on Windows 7, would have been a virtual machine answer, as suggested on the thread Balmukund referenced.  So before you mark a reply
    as an answer read the question.

    You need to copy your input and output file stores from the old server to the new server. By default these are located in the <Business Objects install path>\FileStore directory.
    Then you need to stop the CMS, Right click the CMS,Click the Configuration tab, and then click Specify.
    Choose Copy, then click OK.
    Choose the version information for the source CMS database.
    Select the database type for the source CMS database, and then specify
    its database information (including host name, user name, and password).
    Select the database type for the destination CMS database, and then
    specify its database information (including host name, user name, and
    password).
    When the CMS database has finished copying, click OK.
    Once this process has been completed start the CMS and click on update objects -> located on the top of the CCM.
    I'd advise taking full backups beforehand.

  • Is there good project management options for OS X server?

    We are a small (3 person) shop and want to host our own project management solution. We would love to share project info and assign tasks etc... Does anyone do thin on their own server? We have used Manymoon and now Do.com.

    There are a few options for self hosted project management you can consider, but most are considerably more complicated to use than either Do or Manymoon.  Here are some examples of things you can look at, in order of declining 'project management' competence.  For each item there are others available I've not mentioned, but if you search for any of these you'll soon find the alternatives via Google.  So, have a look at:
    * Merlin - A full featured project management package a bit like MS Project, but runs native on OS X and has pretty functional iThing clients too (though they don't yet support iOS7...).  Quite expensive - but each client has the ability to share projects across a LAN (or WAN), so you can do stuff without buying the server app (which is very expensive).  Steep learning curve for app.  http://www.projectwizards.net/en/
    * ActiveCollab - a self-hosted php based groupware portal system.  Originally started as an open source competitor / complement of the earliest forms of Basecamp, it has long ago evolved into its own thing but filling broadly the same space.  Requires an Apache2/MySQL/PHP installation to run, and allows the sharing of information about projects, along with a fairly complex project management capability.  All the pros / cons of web based service apply.  Much easier to learn to use, and deploy than Merlin.  https://www.activecollab.com
    * Studiometry - a different take on the problem, this is an attempt at a whole-business management app for small firms, covering everything from sales pipeline tracking through to simple CRM and invoice management.  Has the ability to share files related to projects, and allocate / track tasks within a group.  Has clients for OS X, Windows and iOS.  As with Merlin, has network sharing abilities built into each client, so no need for a 'server' to make it work, but in practical terms you need an 'always on' copy to act as hub for an office.  http://oranged.net
    * BusyCal - a much simpler solution, but if you are looking to replace Do.com then it might be all you need.  Allows you to share calendar / task information on a LAN, and offers somewhat enhanced calendar functions to regular OS X.  http://www.busymac.com/busycal/
