OS migration from XP to windows 7 using SCCM for 900 remote location.... Single pc every site.

Hi,
I am running into this issue. We have SCCM 2012 in place and i have to migrate 900 remote sites (extremely slow bandwidth) with no DP, from XP to windows 7. Each site only have 1 PC running XP and my task is to do migration plus migrate data over from xp
to windows 7 too using sccm. Please advise how it can be done? The critical thing is 'extremely slow bandwidth' between locations and head office.
I understand in other scenarios i could have created 'Task Sequence' and had advertised it over the WAN but here it seems i cannot because of extremely slow bandwidth.
Any help will be deeply appreciated.

You have a very tough challenge ahead. You have the option of creating stand alone media for the task sequence and distributing it to the remote sites to work around the slow bandwidth issue. You still have the challenge of data migration to work through.
This is a very complex question that to answer requires specific knowledge of your environment. Can it be done? Yes. With the basic info in your question I would propose delivering media to each site that can be used to deploy the new os task sequence and
backup and restore the data.

Migration from PE 8 (Windows) to PE 11 - What steps?? (MAC)

I am planning to migrate from PE 8 (Windows) to PE 11 (Mac). I will continue to use the PE catalog in PE 11 to organize my library of 16,000+ photos. Although I had considered moving to Aperture for my Digital Asset Manager (in order to more seamlessly work in an Apple environment), I have instead decided to stay with PE since I am familiar with it and happy with its functionality.
I am hoping that this forum can help me: I need to know what steps to follow to perform this migration. (I am a non-technical user. All I know thus far is that I need buy a boxed version or PE11 - NOT download it from the Apple app site - in order to get the cataloging function.) I would like the process to enable me to port both my photos AND my hierarchical keyword tagging structure.
(Some background on why I am asking this question proactively: I was severely burned in a previous upgrade from PE 5 to PE 8 (Windows XP to Windows 7) where ALL of my tagging got lost in the move. This, despite hours of work with the Adobe support team who had me write the keywords into metadata and re-backup, re-port, etc, etc. It was a nightmare of many hours spent. All unsuccessful. I ended up manually re-tagging each of my photos. Needless to say, I do not want to go through that again,)
Thanks in advance for your help. Amy

Elements Downloader doesn't auto run on a mac. It's set up so that you always have to launch it from organizer.
If you know you won't use iphoto, then it's a good idea to go to the iphoto preferences>General>When a camera is connected, and choose No Application, in which case the card will mount like a drive on your desktop and you can drag the photos from it or launch PSE Downloader, or choose Image Capture, in which case apple's own OS X downloader/scanner utility launches and you can use that, then File>Get Photos>From Files and Folders to bring them into Organizer.
For moving the catalog, the most important thing is to be sure the catalog is okay in windows first, so do go to manage catalogs>repair, and then optimize before backing up. The transfer is very easy when it works.

Migrating from AIX to Windows

Hi all,
We are considering in a SAP R/3 4.6c to ECC6 Upgrade, the option to migrate from AIX to Windows OS.
We heard that this option is not so usual.
- Could you tell us some feedback and recommendation about it?
- What kind of issues will we face?
Thanks for your help,
Chris

Usual? What is "usual"?
> - Could you tell us some feedback and recommendation about it?
> - What kind of issues will we face?
This depends heavily (if not only) on your environment. Some thoughts:
- Windows is little endian whereas AIX is big endian; this may affect connected software (non-SAP software, filesystem transfers etc.)
- additional software plus licenses may become necessary (cluster, backup...)
- do you have enough knowledge about Windows (+ its internals) as you have on AIX? Windows is not "easier" by default just because you have a mouse to click... (even if everyone thinks it is). Windows administration is totally different to any *nix (you may need to change scripts, consider updating regularly, think about problems you didn't have before (Virus, Worms) etc.)
- Hardware for Windows is usually cheaper than Power based hardware for AIX
- Windows licenses (+ CALs) must be bought
Just as another thought: Did you consider running Linux instead? You will use the same (cheaper) hardware with a more common environment (if you come from AIX)?

How to embed and launch ipa file from another ipa package created using Air for iOS

Hi Guys,

SAP Printer migration from AIX to windows

Dear Experts,
We migrated our ECC from AIX to Windows.
We want to migrate printers from AIX to windows.
Do we have to create queues from scratch in SPAD?
Can we use existing queues in SPAD?
Please guide what all steps are required.
Your help will be highly appreciated!
Thanks,
Harry

Hi Hary,
For windows environment you need to change the spool server hostname in SPAD and activate all the relevant printers.
Please check whether you had any network printers configured on AIX host. You can use command
smitty spooler or
lpstat -W -p<queuename>
If there are any spoolers configured for SAP system, you need to recreate them on windows.
Hope this helps.

Migration from Photoshop Elements Windows to MAC

Hi,
I don't know if this question is answered already somewhere in this forum. I started a search without results.
Maybe I'm wrong. If so, please apologize.
I used Elements for years on my Windows box. Recently I bought an iMac and would like to know if it's possible
to migrate my albums and all the stuff from Windows to Mac using the Mac version of Elements.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
ssv

The mac version of PSE has no organizer, so no, not directly. What you can do is to create tags for all your albums and categories, and then use File>Write Tags and Properties to File(s) or John Ellis's psedbtool to write the tags as metadata keywords that many mac programs, including Bridge (which you get with PSE/mac) and iphoto can recognize, but you will need to reestablish any hierarchies.

Migrating from 8.5 to 10 using VB6

Post Author: Mark1110
CA Forum: General
Hi,
I have a VB 6 project that I want to migrate from crystal reports 8.5 to crystal reports 10. I wasn't given any documentation on CR 10 just the disk. Searching the internet and the crystal reports web site didn't offer any help. Has anyone done this? Here is the code:
    sConnect = "ODBC;DSN=" + Server + ";UID=" + UserID + ";PWD=" + Passwd ' + ";DSQ=" + sDSN
    With CrystalReport1
        .Reset
        .ReportFileName = App.Path + "\MM1.rpt"
        .Connect = sConnect
        .DataFiles(0) = "usp_ol_rpt_mm_letter"
        .StoredProcParam(0) = Trim(lblMailingId.Caption)
        .StoredProcParam(1) = sBrokerParam
        .StoredProcParam(2) = sAddressType      ' only for Address Change records
        .Formulas(0) = "MAILID1=" + Trim(lblMailingId.Caption)
        .Formulas(1) = "LETTERTYPE='" + sLetterType + "'"
        '*--- Invoke Sub-Report
        .SubreportToChange = "Signature.rpt"
        .Connect = sConnect
        .SubreportToChange = ""
        .WindowTitle = sTitle
        .WindowHeight = 450
        .WindowWidth = 650
        .Destination = crptToWindow
        .Action = 1
         DoEvents
    End With
The program calls a stored procedure passing 3 parameters to it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Mark

Hi,
Changing the the network adapter to VMXNET 3 before switch version might cause this issue.
Could you please try the following:
- restore the vm using the working vmx file (with the existing network adapter)
- Upgrade to 10.5 and do a switch version
- Then power off the vm and change the the network adapter to VMXNET 3
Thanks,

How to content migrate from e-room to sharepoint using powershell

Hi,
How to do content migration from e-room to share-point using powershell.
Please give step by step process and give some idea about migration using powershell and other tools.
Thanks,
inguru

Hi,
There is no direct content database migration approach from eRoom to SharePoint.
However many third party tools such as Metalogix, Tzunami, and AvePoint are available to migrate eRoom content to SharePoint as well as you can write your own utility
to migrate content since there are various eRoom API available for the same.
Thank You, Somnath Matere

Upgrade + migration from nw04 on windows 2000 to nw04s on windows 2008

Dear all,
I need to upgrade and migrate my nw04 java system from windows 2000 to nw04s on windows 2008.
From the PAM I can see that NW04 is not supported on windows 2008 and that nw04s (7.0) is not supported on windows 2000.
So, which is the correct upgrade path? Do I need an intermediate win 2003 server which is supported from both the releases?
Thanks and regards in advance
Federico

Hello my friend
This will be a very interesting project for sure. As you know, kernel 640 is not supported on win2008 and 700 is not supported on win2000, so here there must be a win2003 as a transition platform for this upgrade+ migration, not to mention migration from 32bit to x64 is also involved. You didn't mention the DB versions in source and target systems, as well as the SAP product you're trying to go with. Here's a brief checklist right now for what I can think of, once you're back with more details then let's make it intact:
I assume your source OS/DB is win2000SQL2000 32bit, target one is win2008SQL2008 x64.
1. Install a win2003 x64 server and SQL2000 32bit;
2. Install a new SAP instance same as your source system release in 32bit compatible mode;
note: if the system being migrated is BW, then be aware of that you might want to bring new features in SQL2008 of row compression and table partitions.
3. Detach the source DB from old SQL2000, and attach it to new SQL2000; some post configuration for DB copy will be required (STM tool). Now you've finish a migration from win2000 to win2003 32bit;
4. Start upgrading NW04 to 7.0, 640 to 700, find details in upgrade guide; Now you have your 700 instance on win2003 x64+SQL2000 32bit;
note: since release 701(700 EHP1) is available now, which you might want to upgrade instead of 700.
5. Change the collation 850BIN2 for SQL2000 32bit, detach DB;
6. Since migration from 32bit to x64 cannot be done smoothly, now you have to uninstall everything and reinstall win2003 and SQL2008 x64, followed by a new 700 or 701 instance;
7. Attach the source DB, post configuration for DB copy will be required (STM tool); Now you have your 700 or 701 instance on win2003 x64+SQL2008 x64;
8. Detach the SQL2008 DB;
9. Now go to your target win2008 OS, install SQL 2008 x64 and new 700 or 701 instance;
note: there might be some restrictions for NW 7.0 on win2008, go with the latest release (SR3 or newer).
10. Attach DB to this final OS/DB version: win2008 x64+SQL2008 x64, post configuration for DB copy will be required (STM tool).
Helpful?

How can I copy the titles from a project volume one use them for the rest?

I'm editing a four DVD set, and would like to use the same opening titles and credits for each. How can I copy the titles from volume one and use them for the rest? Thank you.

Open the project that has the titles you want to use. Select (highlight) all the title clips you want, then right-click and choose COPY.
Open the new project(s), then paste the titles onto the Timeline.
Done.

I moved my iPhoto libraries from one hard drive to another and have to manually locate the photos, every time!!!

I moved my iPhoto libraries from one hard drive to another and now every time I open a library I have to manually locate the photos. After locating the first file, it works well and remembers the location of the files of all the events, even when the folders containing the actual photos are in several different locations.
The problem is that when I close and open iPhoto, it does not remember where the files were and I have to locate at least a file, all over again.
Does anyone knows if there is a way of making iPhoto "remember" or saving the location of the files?

By default, iPhoto will store its library file under ~/Pictures. To select a library manually in iPhoto:
Ensure that iPhoto is closed.
Hold down the Option key and click on the iPhoto icon in your Dock or launch it from the Applications folder.
Click on Choose Library.
Locate and select the library you wish to use.
Close iPhoto and re-open it. Does it remember the library that you selected?
For more information on moving your iPhoto library, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229.
Hope that helps, have a great day.

When I select 'Options' I am presented with an empty window; I have used FF from its inception migrating from Netscape. I am using FF 32.3.

When I select 'Options' from the tools menu the resultant box is completely empty I am using FF 32.3 on Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit. I prefer the pull-down menu system.

hello, please try to disable the ghostery addon and see if you can still reproduce the issue then...

Help to migrate from XP to Windows 7

The PC that my family uses to synch our iphones and ipods has crapped out and will not boot and runs Windows XP.. The weird thing is the whole issues started when my son said that all of his music libraries were gone. So after researching the issue, I was able to restore everything back to an archived itunes library from back in November. A few days later, the PC wont even boot, is seems something is corrupt in the boot sector. If I add the hard drive to a PC, I can actually read the data. So on to my question.
I am building a new PC which will have windows 7 64 bit. So my question is, what would the best method be to migrate everything from my XP hard drive to my new Windows 7 PC? I don't even know what version of Itunes the XP machine was running. Is there a way to look at some xml file on the XP machine to find out? I have read other posts on this topic and they seem to get somewhat complicated based on what the old machine(XP)'s folder structure was set to. I don't recall ever switching to the new folder structure so I am sure it will not match the new iTunes version on my Windows 7 Machine.
Thanks in advance for an advice, it is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
When you backed up the data, did you use the default setting? Or did you choose the files you needed to backup?
Files under a profile should all be backed up, except when you created an independent .pst file and imported the data into it.
You can try Don's suggestion, and we can also post this question to Windows Client forum:
