Product rejestraction on new hardware

Hello,
I had registered my Adobe Photoshop CS 5.5 to my old computer, but unfortunately my hardware was crashed. So i can't deactivate phostohop in my old computer.
How i can register Adobe Phostohop CS 5.5 on my new computer ??

I've heard strange things from somewhere relating to your problem. Someone's keyboard wasn't functioning if KMS was enabled. That seems illogical, but I guess it may be worth something...
No KMS here. I blacklisted the nouveau module to prevent conflicts with nVidia.

SQL cluster 2008 R2 migration to new Hardware in VM

Hi,
We have a task to migrate existing Physical SQL Cluster DB to new Hardware but in VM. (cannot argue with the client)
hence our plan is to install new Cluster in VM with same Windows and SQL version i.e Win 2K8 R2 ENT w/SP and SQL 2K8
R2 STD w/SP and use SQL mirroring option for the DB to migrate on the new Server (keeping the downtime to as low as possible and advantage of bringing the old server online in case of any issues..)
Below points are for a single instance, couple of DB to migrate:
Keep the physical production server running
In-Parallel build New SQL Cluster in VM (keep same version windows/sql)
Keep Same drive letter for Quorum, MSDTC, DATA, LOG & Backup
Keep the same Instance Name, SQL Network Name can be different (will be changed to old network name once the PROD is shutdown)
Check all logins windows and SQL to be same on both the clusters
Copy all the jobs, SSIS packages etc.. .create the location folder as per current server on the VM SQL Cluster
Perform full backup of old cluster company-db databases or use the existing latest backup (full, differential, transaction)
Restore databases in the new cluster with no recovery so additional log file or differential backup can be restored
Create SQL Mirroring for the Database and select the principal server (old cluster) and the mirror server (new VM cluster)
Choose mirroring without witness ( no auto failover as we don’t need the old server later)
Start the mirroring – (hopefully everything synchronized and working)
During the downtime –
Stop the application/ client connection – if possible
Failover the DB through Mirroring option
Once the mirrored server becomes Principal and data is accessible – stop the mirroring
Now the new VM SQL Cluster DB is online
Shutdown the old cluster company-db (Node1 & Node2)
Come back to VM SQL Cluster and change the Network name to the old server network name (so that client connections are not affected)
Check if the DNS entries are updated with correct name and IP address
Delete DNS entries for old company-db on DNS Servers if not deleted, delete the old server SQL network name in computer object
Stop SQL Resources on the new VM SQL Cluster (take it offline all the resources)
Bring online the SQL Resource and make sure the SQL resources are online and new network name is reachable
Wait till you see machine name company-db in active directly (AD) and DNS server will have entry for company-db
Verify connectivity for company-db from outside.
If things are not going as per the plan then shut down the new VM cluster
Revert back the DNS settings
Power up the Old SQL Server
The DB will show “restoring mode” – use command to make it online “RESTORE DATABASE (dbname) WITH RECOVERY”
Check the DB
Start using the OLD server again
Troubleshoot the failed scenario ;)
Need to know if the above steps are okay, and any consideration once the new VM SQL Cluster is online.
Kindly let me know if there anything else to transfer apart from the logins, jobs, folder location etc.. !!
Many Thanks

Hello,
Well if you don’t change the instance name (name = ABC) then its OK.
Try the following resources about transferring SQL Server logins:

Reporting service unable to start after restoring on new hardware

Hi,
I have a SQL server that the hardware is failing. As a solution we restored the image of the server on a multicore (more less new) server. The problem is that SQL 2000 cannot be started if number of CPUs is not in power of 2. I found an article that helped
me with a nice trick to load SQL just fine but the reporting service is having the same issue.
So I am looking for a solution on how to load the Reporting Services on this new hardware. Here is the log of the Report Server Service.

Hi,
Repair Reporting Services Features and see how it works.
To reinstall an existing component with new properties, reinstall the component with the new properties you need. If using the command prompt, when you select a component to be removed, and then select the same component to be installed,
Setup will remove the component first, then reinstall it with the new parameters specified.
The repair of an installation is achieved through a reinstallation of all existing components. When repairing an installation, all components are repaired. When using the command prompt, use the
REINSTALL="all" or REINSTALLMODE={
omus | amus } property. For more information on the description of the properties and their values, see
Installing Reporting Services from the Command Line.
More information, please see:

When deploying a single server on new hardware, do you virtualize it or not?

There are a few questions that I've found on ServerFault that hint around this topic, and while it may be somewhat opinion-based, I think it can fall into that "good subjective" category based on the below:
Constructive subjective questions:
* tend to have long, not short, answers
* have a constructive, fair, and impartial tone
* invite sharing experiences over opinions
* insist that opinion be backed up with facts and references
* are more than just mindless social fun
So that out of the way.
I'm helping out a fellow sysadmin that is replacing an older physical server running Windows 2003 and he's looking to not only replace the hardware but "upgrade" to 2012 R2 in the process.
In our discussions about his replacement hardware, we discussed the possibility of him installing ESXi and then making the 2012 "server" a VM and migrating the old apps/files/roles from the 2003 server to the VM instead of to a non-VM
install on the new hardware.
He doesn't perceive any time in the next few years the need to move anything else to a VM or create additional VMs, so in the end this will either be new hardware running a normal install or new hardware running a single VM on ESXi.
My own experience would lean towards a VM still, there isn't a truly compelling reason to do so other than possibilities that may arise to create additional VMs. But there is the additional overhead and management aspect of the hypervisor now, albeit
I have experienced better management capabilities and reporting capabilities with a VM.
So with the premise of hoping this can stay in the "good subjective" category to help others in the future,what
experiences/facts/references/constructive answers do you have to help support either outcome (virtualizing or not a single "server")?

In the general case, the advantage of putting a standalone server on a hypervisor is future-proofing. It makes future expansion or upgrades much easier, much faster, and as a result, cheaper. The primary drawback is additional complexity and cost (not necessarily
financially, but from a man-hours and time perspective).
So, to come to a decision, I ask myself three questions (and usually prefer to put the server on a hypervisor, for what it's worth).
How big is the added cost of the hypervisor?
Financially, it's usually minimal or non-existent.
Both VMware and Microsoft have licensing options that allow you to run a host and a single guest for free, and this is sufficient for most standalone servers, exceptions generally being servers that are especially resource-intensive.
From a management and resource standpoint, determining cost can be a bit trickier.
You basically double the cost of maintaining the system, because now you have two systems to monitor, manage and keep up-to-date with patches and updates (the guest OS and the host OS).
For most uses, this is not a big deal, as it's not terribly taxing to maintain one server, though for some especially small or especially technically challenged organizations, this can be a real concern.
You also add to the technical skills required. Now, instead of just needing someone who can download updates from Windows Update, you need someone who knows enough to manage and maintain the virtualization environment.
Again, not usually a problem, but sometimes, it's more than an organization can handle.
How big is the benefit from ease-of upgrade or expansion?
This boils down to how likely future expansion is, because obviously, if they don't expand or upgrade their server assets, this benefit is zero.
If this is the type of organization that's just going to stuff the server in a corner and forget about it for 10 years until it needs to be replaced anyway, there's no point.
If they're likely to grow organizationally, or even just technically (by say adding new servers with different roles, instead of just having an all-in-one server), then this provides a fairly substantial benefit.
What's the benefit now?
Virtualization bring benefits beyond future-proofing, and in some use-cases, they can be substantial.
The most obvious one is the ability to create snapshots and trivial-to-restore backups before doing something on the system, so if it goes bad, you can revert in one click.
The ability to experiment with other VMs (and play the "what if" game) is another one I've seen management get excited about. For my money, though, the biggest benefit is the added portability you get from running a production server on a hypervisor. If something
goes really wrong and you get yourself into a disaster-recovery or restore-from-backups situation, it is almost infinitely easier to restore a disk image to a machine running the same hypervisor than trying to do a bare-metal restore.

Changing current production SID to new SID.

Hello there,
I have a question on changing current SID name to new SID name. We are planning on moving our current production hardware to new better hardware and change the PRD(old) to PRD(new). Is anyone out there (customers) who had done this before, and what would be the ramifications? I know we have to run BDLS in order to change current logical systems to new logical systems. Are there any issues in doing so in Production system? Any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
Santosh

Santosh
you can do that easily just by installing SAP system on new hardware and then restoring this backup to new system,that should not be an issue,it is just like doing system copy
but
SAP has strongly recommended not to run BDLS conversions on Production systems database,so I would suggest you to first approach SAP,raise a message with them and ask their recommendations
Let me know of any questions

Migrate (N)AMP server to new hardware

Hi,
I have been looking for documentation on how to move an AMP configuration to
new hardware (practically same OS-install, NW65SP7).
Is there any info around 'cause I wasn't able to find any. And before I
start dumping MySQL databases and Apache virtual hosts, I thought i'd ask
here.
On the origin server, webcontent and SQL db are placed on different volumes
than SYS. I looked at MigrationWizard as well, but my replacement server is
already in the same tree (new name).
Any info, links or directions, appreciated.
Regards,
Marcel

BakxM,

I'd transfer the database and adjust Apache and PHP settings manually.

Do Combo Updates include new hardware drivers / info?

So I'm having a debate with fellow OS X techies and we're split and would like to know a more definitive answer.
Do OS X Combo Updates actually take into account new hardware released after the .0 release of an OS? So for instance, 10.6 was released. Since then several Mac models have been introduced. Can I use the 10.6 retail DVD on the newer Mac models if I cannot locate those discs, and then run Combo Update to 10.6.4 on say a recent MBP? Or must I use the 10.6.3 MBP discs and move to 10.6.4 for true compatibility?
When 10.6.5 is released to the public, can that be used for the new Mac Minis that have a special build of 10.6.4?

Here is one case right now the Mid-2010 Mac Pro all run OS X builds that are later than 10.6.4 (and there are likely changes even here every two weeks as they ship). Drivers needed for new graphic cards (ATI 5870 and 5770) are newer than ATI drivers for say iMac 2010 that has an ATI graphics unit.
And changes to support new processors, memory configurations, native booting into 64-bit kernel mode, to name a few changes.
Eventually all of those changes should make their way into general available standalone updates (delta and combo) at some point.
As for your need to build images, I'll leave that to others to sift through. My gut feeling, that OS X Server is the only time/place that would fit in. Windows Home Server NAS products like HP Smart MediaServer NAS support TimeMachine, SuperDuper, and ability to manage a mix of Macs and PCs. Something an Xserve in a client-server environment, with even more tools to deploy and handle remove images and push updates (and store updates locally rather than each seat have to redownload all over again).
Nehalem family of processors shipped in early 2009, before that was Penryn and found in say Mid-2008 iMac, Early Mac Pro 2008 (I'm sure you know or can find that on Apple or even Wikipedia on Macs and Intel processors).

Migrate SBS 2008 to new hardware

We have an SBS 2008 installation and are testing a disaster recovery solution by re-installing in Migration Mode.
Step 5 in the migration document from Microsoft discusses;
Demote and remove the Source Server from the network
We'd like to fully test this and get the backup box up and running before signing it off as a working solution.
Our concern is that, even if we isolate the test machine on a difference subnet from our production LAN, there is some kind of licensing consequence for our running box - via some kind of de-activation signal sent over the net, perhaps - should we continue
through the final steps.
Can anyone confirm or deny whether any kind of de-activation occurs? Perhaps paranoia, but thought best to check since we really can't have our live systems shut down.

Hi,
Before going further, would you please provide more detailed information about your concern? It’s difficult to understand your needs for me with the information you mentioned. For details about
how to migrate SBS 2008 to new hardware, please refer to the following articles.

Migration of BW system to New Hardware and Upgrade to NW04s

Hi,
I'm not sure this is the forum for this post but here goes...
We have recently started a project to migrate our current BW3.5 system to new hardware (HP Superdome) and then upgrade to NetWeaver 2004s.
To do this, we've taken a copy of our current Dev 3.5 system and moved it to the new hardware and will unicode and upgrade to NW04s. Once this is complete, we plan to install NEW instances of QA and Prod with NW04s. We will TRANSPORT all our configuration and reload all the providers in QA and Prod. This will be a MASSIVE task as we have hundreds of infoproviders. Additionally, I'm concerned we will not pick objects currently in 3.5 Prod system (e.g. custom queries/workbooks, infopkgs, process chains, variables, etc.) but not in current 3.5 Dev system.
My question is this - can we instead take copies of the current QA and Prod (3.5) systems and migrate, unicode, and upgrade in the new Superdome hardware. Per Basis, this is NOT possible due to the size of the current systems - approx 2.5 Terabytes. But maybe half of the database is consumed by old PSA's, unused providers, etc. If we were to clean up our current system and do a database reorg to reduce the database size, is it possible to do a system copy (Dev to Dev, QA to QA, Prod to Prod) --> any help/insight is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Senthil

I had this experience in my previous project and i wanna share a with you. we have migrated our total bw landscape from alfa servers to HP superdome servers.
we took all the copies of all the boxes( dev,QA,PRO) and migrate to superdome and upgrade to NW04. but in your case you are not taking copies QA and PRODUCTION. This is not realistic scenario. you got to move all the objects and configuration from dev to respective systems and load the data in the production.
so you have to take all the copies of all the boxes and migrate to superdome and upgrage to NE04, is the right way of doing.

Migration from SCVMM 2012 SP1 to R2 - New Hardware

We want to migrate our existing SCVMM 2012 SP1 to new hardware and then bump it to SCVMM 2012 R2. Our database is on a separate SQL 2008 R2 server. This is what we envision doing to get there:
Uninstall SCVMM 2012 SP1 on existing server and retaining the database
Backup and restore the SCVMM database to a new SQL 2012 server
Install SCVMM 2012 R2 on new hardware and connect to existing database on SQL 2012 server
Does this sound doable? Will we lose anything in the move? Maybe our existing libraries?

Upgrading on a remote computer
Upgrading from VMM in System Center 2012 SP1 on one computer to VMM in System Center 2012 R2 on a different computer is not supported when data is retained from the original installation, and the following configurations apply:
The original installation uses Windows DPAPI. This is the default setting if you did not configure distributed key management during setup.
The VMM management server is configured to use any of the following encrypted values or settings:
Application settings (encrypted value)
Service setting (encrypted value)
SQL Server deployment (product key)
Web deploy package (encryption password)
"Personally" and this is a pain, I would:
Uninstall VMM SP1 and retain the DB.
Re-install the exisiting hardware with Server 2012
Re-install VMM SP1 and reconnect to existing DB
Upgrade to VMM 2012 R2
Uninstall and retain the DB
Restore the DB on new SQL 2012 server
Reinstall VMM 2012 R2 on new Server and reconnect to existing DB
Note that you will probably get access denied messages once running on the new VMM server due to the SID change. You will need to re-associate hosts and libraries.
I'm still not saying this is a supported method, but it's likely it's more supported as it's essentially following DR principals.

Moving ZENworks for Desktops 6.5.2ir1 to new hardware

Im preparing to move my NetWare 6.5 server with ZENworks for Desktops 6.5.2ir1 to new hardware.
The recommended way for NetWare is to make use of the Migration Wizard but Im worried about the post tasks, which are mentioned in the documentation. I should reinstall ZENworks as product after the migration and then recover the old configuration. What would be the best way to do so?
And is the Migration Wizard the best tool to move to new hardware for ZENworks or are there better alternatives?
Thanks a lot!
Armand.

Hello,
How did you get on with this? I have been thinking about doing something similar for some time now, but have always been nervous of doing so.
We have PCounter, Printing, SYS/PUBLIC mapping, and ZfD 6.5 running on 1 server, and I would like to just move ZfD to a seperate server.
Can you point me in the direction of the documentation you speak of for migrating ZfD 6.5 ???
cheers,

Migrating to new hardware using maintenance Mac OSX Server

Hi,
I'm in the process of migrating a G4 Xserver to a G5 Xserve. The older G4 is running 10.3.9 and the newer G5 will be running Mac OS server 10.4.7.
We have a maintenance agreement with Apple, so I want to migrate from our 10.3.9 server license to the 10.4.7 server license - but it's the same 'license' and when I install it on the new hardware, Server Admin/Overview tells me that it's License Type is "0-client license". Also the Serial number fields format in Server Admin/Settings is clearly different from the documentation that came with the maintenance copy of the server software:
Server format;
x-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-x
Documentation License;
xxxx-xxx-xxx-x-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-x
So my question is
How do I migrate from one server to another using the same license while minimizing downtime for this production system?

I would say that Apple should be able to update your 36-months maintenance agreement with a OSXS 10.4 serial number.
As far as I know, the structure of 10.3 and 10.4 serial numbers is different (wasn't the case between 10.2 and 10.3) so I'm short of a technical answer here.
Maybe you could try :
/System/Library/ServerSetup/serversetup -setServerSerialNumber xxxx-xxx-xxx-x-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-x
in a Terminal window on the server. It's theorically the same as using Server Admin but maybe this could help.

Notebook PC frequently makes Windows sound as if found new hardware

My daughter asked me to take a look at her 1-1/2 yr old HP m6-1045dx Entertainment Notebook PC (Product Number: B5S08UA). Among other things, it frequently makes a Windows sound similar to when the OS finds new hardware. However, nothing new shows either in Device Manager of the SysTray.
I cleaned up some other things on the system and then started to look into this issue. I discovered I could replicate the issue by slightly closing the screen/lid from the full open position. I only have to move it aout a 1/2 inch and the OS makes the same sound as if a new piece of hardware was found.
Loose connection?

From the steps that you have described, it does sound as though the cable has come loose from the connection. I have included the HP Pavilion m6 Entertainment PC - Maintenance and Service Guide. If you scroll to page 29 it will show you the different spare part numbers that are available for the display.
If you go further down through the manual to page 93, you will see the necessary steps on how to open up the display. As well show you where the display panel cable is connected.
Please let me know if after these steps, your still getting the same noise.
Thank you.
I worked on behalf of HP
