R12 Cloning from Windows 2003 64 bit to Windows 2008 R2 64 bit

Dear Gurus,
I have a 12.1.3 applications and 11.2.0.2 database running on Windows 2003 *64 bit*. Now I need to perform a migration from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2 64 bit. Please confirm if we can directly perform a clone from 2003 64 bit to 2008 R2 64 bit using Rapid clone?
Thanks in advance!
-Khan

We are in Windows 2003 32bit on Applications and Windows 2003 64 bit for database. This architecture was certified as per Support which we had confirmed via SR.Correct.
BTW the reason for raising this thread is that the clone failed for db Tier at a very first go with the below error where it states unknown OS Windows 2008 R2.

SCOM 2007 server OS upgrade from 32 bit Win 2003 SP2 to Win 2008 R2 64 bit

Dear Experts,
We are planning to upgrade where in SCOM 2007 R2 presents on 32 bit Virtual Machine Win 2003 SP2 to Win 2008 R2 32 bit or 64 bit. Though OpsManager Database is already upgraded to SQL 2008 R2 from SQL 2005. So No pblm with DB upgradation.
So my point is If I go ahead to upgrade from Win 2003 (SCOM 2007 R2 resides) to Win 2008 R2 does it create any impacts on SCOM 2007 R2 environment ? Please let me know the procedure for this or any documentation is available to complete this.
Thanks in advanced!

Firstly,
Please note that you can only upgrade an OS to the same architecture (i.e. from x86 to x86, and not to x64). See the following Support Article about supported upgrade paths for Windows Server 2003: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/951041?wa=wsignin1.0.
Therefore, if you plan to upgrade to a x64 architecture, you will need to perform a new installation, and not an in-place upgrade. If you are going that route, I'd suggest skipping Windows Server 2008 R2, and try to push to Windows Server 2012 if not Windows
Server 2012 R2; to more future-proof your environment.
Further, If you are going to perform a new OS installation (to move into x64 architecture), why not also utilize the "new installation" requirement in that scenario to also upgrade to System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager?
The base scenario would be for you to perform an in-place upgrade of Windows Server 2003 x86 to Windows Server 2008 R2 x86. Except, there is no x86 version of Windows Server 2008 R2, only x64! Note: Windows Server 2008 (without the 'R2') has an x86 option.

Possible to point Windows 2003 server to Windows 2012 R2 WSUS?

Hello Community,
I have deployed Windows 2012 R2 WSUS in my organisation. I have no issues with Windows 7, 2008 R2 pointing to the WSUS server.
However, I am having issues pointing Windows 2003 R2 and Windows XP to the WSUS server.
On the Windows 2003 client, I have also ran wuauclt /detectnow and the GPO settings is set to:
In Windows 2008 R2, I know that I am getting updates from the WSUS because I can see the option
below (circled in red)
Questions:
1. In Windows 2003, how do I know that I am actually getting the updates from the WSUS and not from the
internet?
2. Are Windows 2003/XP clients compatible to pull updates from a Windows 2012 WSUS server?
3. If Windows 2003/XP clients are able to get updates from Windows 2012 WSUS server, how do I do it? Is
there any 'interface' for me to use?

In Windows 2003, there isnt an interface for administrators to "Check for Windows Updates managed by your system administrator" unlike in Windows 2008. (See screenshot on my first post)
In Windows 2003, I go to Tools > Windows Update and it is pointing me to microsoft's website.
Correct, In Windows 2003 you use the WUAUCLT.EXE command line utility, to perform client actions.
But that has *nothing* to do with how you *configure* the client, nor how you check the client's configuration. That is done exactly the same way regardless of which operating system is being used.
So when I say you know you're getting updates from WSUS by using the same method, that method is NOT looking at the WUApp applet in Control Panel, because that applet does NOT tell you that the client is getting updates from WSUS. It merely tells you that
some policy is in place that presumably tells the client to get updates from a WSUS server.
If you *really* want to know.... check the appropriate registry keys, or read the WindowsUpdate.log.... and that's done exactly the same way on every operating system.

Upgrade from a two tier EBS 11i 11.5.10.2 on Windows 2003 Apps and Windows 2008 R2 DB tier to two Tier R12.2.3 both on Windows 2008 R2

Hi,
Any ideas about the best practices for the migration/upgrade reflected with the below question?
I have a source EBS11i 11.5.10.2 running as a two tier configuration ( apps tier on server ora10 on Windows 2003, DB tier 11.2.0.2 on server ora1 on Windows 8 R2. Can I use the Note 1377213.1 for a migration to a two tier configuration ( apps tier on server T10 running Windows 2008 R2 and EBS 12.2.3 and DB tier running 11.2.0.4 on Windows 2008 R2 )? What alternative approach could you suggest? As far as I know EBS11i is not certified on Windows 2008 R2 and R12.2.0 is not certified on Windows 2003.

Yes you can by following "Application Tier Upgrades and Migrations" section -- Install 12.2 apps tier on 64-bit Windows and proceed with the upgrade.

OS Migration from Windows 2003 cluster to Windows 2008 R2 MSCS

We want to go for windows 2008 R2 server ( 64-Bit) MSCS by migrating from windows 2003 Cluster ( 32- Bit) . We are running on ECC 6.0 and oracle 10.2.0.2 DB.
Is it possible ?
Is it traditional System copy if so how to migrate the cluster ?
Regards

> 2. If the oracle version is 10.2.0.2 then does it will support Windows 2008 R2.
You need at least 10.2.0.4 (you need to install that version with a separate DVD, you can't install with the normal Oracle DVD (10.2.0.1). See
Note 1303262 - Oracle on Windows Server 2008
Be aware of the fact that the normal standard support for 10.2.x is ending at end of july (you'll have to pay an extra maintenance fee if you continue to run that version) - see
Note 1110995 - Extended maintenance for Oracle Version 10.2
So if you now do a system copy to new hardware with a new os anyway, I would upgrade to 11.2.

Windows 2003 Upgrade to Windows 2008 on MSCS

Hi ,
We were running our NW 7.0 ABAP+JAVA system on Windows 2003 and SQL 2005 . Somehow in some misscommunication the Network administrator has formated the system without taking the OS level image backup . This is our production system .
We did not take the system export before that .
Here is the situtaion :
He has detach the database and SAN . Install Windows 2008 and SQL 2008 . after this we have attached the database and SAN both ,
Now do we need to delte all the old SAP installation files from the SAN or we can just install the Central Service Instance and we will be good ? Do we need to do the rest of the instllation like Database Instance installation ,First MSCS Node ,Additional MSCS node etc...
What is the best way to install the SAP system on it with all the data . We have the data files and system files available with us .
Appriciate your quick help on this .
Thanks ,
Bhanu Pratap Singh

Hi orkun,
That is what i was thinking but SAP is not recommending this and asking me to Go back to Windows 2003 and SQL 2005 and install SAP their from Scratch .
They are not suggesting to install SAP on windows 2008 and restore the database .
Thanks ,

Window 2003 upgrade to window 2008 R2 for Moss 2007

I am currently running Moss 2007 on window 2003 32 bit. I need to move it to 2008 r2 64bit.
currently 1sql, 1webapp
i plan to add 64bit webapp(running window 2008 r2 64bit) to the farm, then remove the 32 bit webapp. here are my question
is that an ok approach since msdn recommend remove sql server first?
patch? does it have to be the same level? do i install 64 bit patches on win08 R2 or 32 bit? I am assuming 64 since i am running 64 bit window?
what about custom web part, fab40? do i need to redeploy?
Anyone have step by step instruction?

Refer to the following MSDN article
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd637753%28v=office.12%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
Also refer to the following article on best approaches to upgrade.
http://www.go4sharepoint.com/Forum/best-approach-upgrade-moss-2007-windows-22904.aspx
And yes, you need to migrate your custom web part and fab40 template manually by redeploying.
Cheers,

Replace Windows 2003 DC with Windows 2012 R2 Foundation

Hi
We are a small office (7 users) that currently have one Windows 2003 Server configured as a domain controller running DNS,DHCP and file services for users. All computers (7) are joined into local domain. All users have mapped drives to 2003 server shares
and redirected (offline) folders for my-documents configured.
Due to an old hardware, we decided to buy a new server with Windows 2012 R2 FOUNDATION licence. For our company I thing this will be the best choice, since Foundation has CAL's 'included' in license, and for our requirements will be more than enough.
Foundation server limit is that server must be the root domain controller in a domain that has no trusts at the root of the forest. My question is how can we 'replace' old server with a new one (what are the steps) ? I'm thinking the following scenario:
- install server and promote it to a DC with a new local domain name in the new forest
- copy all data from old server the the new one
- put all computers out of old domain and put them back into the new domain that is running on 2012 foundation.
- power off old server
Most of the work will be with computers, that need to be reconfigured to a new domain ?
Is this the right approach, are there any other (better) options ?
Just thinking... Is it possible to join 2012 Foundation into existing domain, than transfer all roles from old server to the new one, and at the end demote old server and power it off (I know this is standard approach in Windows Server Standard editions
Thank you in advance
Mike

Hi,
There is no necessary to create a new domain. we can add the new DC to your current domain, then transfer FSMO, related settings and main service roles to the new DC.
Reference the link provided by Alceryes to add Windows Server 2012 R2 to your current domain. and then reference link below for
Active Directory Migration from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012 R2：
http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2014/04/02/step-by-step-active-directory-migration-from-windows-server-2003-to-windows-server-2012.aspx
Besides, for DHCP migration from 2003 to 2012, you can reference：
http://blogs.technet.com/b/canitpro/archive/2013/04/29/step-by-step-migration-of-dhcp-from-windows-server-2003-to-windows-server-2012.aspx
For DNS migration, install DNS server role on Windows Server 2012 R2, and configure it as secondary DNS servers to the old DNS servers. Do replication, once completed, change it from secondary to primary. Remove old server and also clear their record in
new DNS. Checklist: Migrate a DNS Server(also applied for WS 2012 R2), for your reference:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755303.aspx
It is better to do a test lab and backup related data before migration in your current environment.

What's the fastest way to copy 151GB, 375000 files from win 2003 server to win 2008 server

Non techie here.
I have a project where I need to get 151GB of data spread over 375000+ files moved from a win 2003 FAP to a 2008 server. Copy, xCopy, Robocopy all take in excess of 50hours to move it to an external HDD. Has to be external move for security reasons.
I have 40 hours max to get it off and onto the new server.
Cheers
Ian

I copied over 12TB in 24 hours using the method below. A lot of this depends on your infrastructure. The scripts I used are unmodified for your case. I suggest you give them a look and understand the process and change it to fit your needs.
There are 2 parts. The first is a Main script that schedules PowerShell jobs that actually do the work. The main script will read a file called JobCount every loop to see how many jobs it can run at one time, the reason I did this was to change the number
of jobs depending on Day (production) times and Night times. Also, the Main loop reads a nomig file that tells the script, don't move these folders because they were our test cases, you can even do test cases during the migration since you can modify the file
while the script is running. The example was use to move thousands of home folders. Using Robocopy if you tell a single command to do everything, it will take hours to start, just looking around. If you do one root folder at a time, it will run much faster
which is the reason I created this. If you have a small number root folders, you may want to point it at folders where you do have a lot of subs, remember you can have more than one main process running in different runspaces.
Main Script
VVVVVVVVVV
$homeOld = (Get-ChildItem -Path \\server\share | select name)
$JobRun = 10
$i = 0
$Count = $homeOld.Count
foreach ($homeDir in $homeOld) {

   $Sdir = $homeDir.Name
   Write-Progress -Activity "Migrating Homes" -Status "Processing $i of $Count" -PercentComplete ($i/$homeOld.Count*100) -CurrentOperation "Next to Process $Sdir"

   $JobRun = gc \\server\share\script\jobcount.txt -ErrorAction "Stop"

   While ((Get-Job -State "Running").Count -gt ($JobRun-1)) {
   Start-Sleep -Seconds 3
   if ((Get-Job -State "Completed").Count -gt 0) {
   $Comp = Get-Job -State "Completed"
   foreach ($Job in $Comp) {
   $outfile = $Job.name + ".txt"

The only OS supported by CR 9.1.x is; WIN XP, WIN 2000, WIN 2003.
See the following wiki for more details:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56787567
I don't think VS2003 is supported on WIN 7 either(?).

Steps to move application DB( MSSql) from windows 2003 server to windows 2008 server.

Hi All,
I am new to DB. We need to move application's MSSQL DB(Currently used DB version is Microsoft SQL server 2008 R2)from windows server 2003 to windows
2008.
Please advice steps to accomplish this task. How to make sure DB moved without any errors?
Thanks in Advance.

Hello,
As mentioned by Visakh, a side-by-side upgrade can be performed by using backup/restore and detach/attach methods.
Additionally, you can transfer logins from
one SQL Server instance to the other by using the following article:
http://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/918992
The following article may be useful about transferring not only the databases, but jobs, DTS, alerts, operators.
Consider scripting any existing linked server.
Hope this helps.

Error Starting Certificate Authority after upgrading in place from Server 2003 Enterprise (32 bit) to Server 2008 Enterprise (32 bit).

Hope this is the place to seek help with Active Directory Certificate Services. We recently upgraded in place an issuing CA in our lab from 2003 to 2008 and the upgrade of the OS was successful but the CA service now will not start.
The error is:
Error 0xc8000222 (ESE: -546)
More info. We did stop the CA service prior to doing the upgrade.

Answering my own question with the hopes to help someone else.
The problem has something to do with the logs for the certificate database. There is some sort of a format conflict after upgrading to 2008.
To get around this error, and get the Certificate Authority service to start, remove all the logs from the C:\Windows\system32\CertLog directory that should be where your .edb database file lives, leave the database file there
This worked for us on three of four of our CA servers, the other one had a database that went down in a dirty state, so we had to use ESEUTIL utility to fix the database.
NOTE: there is no ESEUTIL utility on the CA servers, so we had to copy our database to an Exchange server in our test lab, then run ESEUTIL /MH to see what the Status is, it may say Dirty or Clean, then we ran ESEUTIL / P (P for Repair, go figure I know
right) anyway that fixed the database, so we copied it back over to the CA and started the service
hope this helps some of you out, we have a case opened with Microsoft Technical Support on this issue and will update this thread with their feedback as well once they get back to us (it has been a week already)

Windows 2003 server and SQL 2008

Hi
Does SAP Business one support windows 2008 and sql 2008 platforms?
When i checked the partner portal it says that these platforms are not supported.Is there any update?
Regards
Louis

Hello Louis,
The only way to determine this is via the supported platforms page in the portal. This is the most up to date, and will include information for the future when this data is available. So for not I would only plan with what information is available.

R12 cloning from RAC to NON RAC

Is there any document available either on metalink or on any other site regarding the cloning of R12 APPS and DB Tiers. as I have R12 EBS on RAC DB with OCFS2. Ichecked on metalink they said that they are not supporting for this cloning.
Thanks,

Welcome to the forums !
RAC to non-RAC cloning is supported under certain conditions - pl see MOS Doc 783188.1 (Certified RAC Scenarios for E-Business Suite Cloning). Which scenario does your install fit into ?

Not possible. Make your 2008 R2 an additional domain controller, transfer FSMO roles and then demote the old 2003 server.
