Rebuilding a total new server and migrate WS 2012 R2 Essentials

I want to build a whole new Server system , from AMD to Intel, motherboard, CPU and some HDD's.
What kind of trouble will I get to do this? And how about my license key?
Will I loose that as well? Is it possible to migrate most of my software?
Regards, Martin

If it was me, I would just make a backup of my old box to a USB drive using windows server backup and restore it to my new box. 2012 and up is very hardware forgiving. Cost you nothing to try it and the original server is still original if
it does not work. You will probably have to activate windows again.

Moving to new server and from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.3 at the same time

I have 2 11.2.0.1 databases running on windows server 2008, and am moving them to a VMware server running the same OS.
While I am doing this, I figure I may as well apply the 11.2.0.3 patch by installing it on the new server and upgrading the databases.
I've yet to do an "out of place" patch, so I'm assuming I can do the following:
Install 11.2.0.3 on the new server running the setup.exe -downloadUpdates command, copy backed up datafiles (from online or offiline backups) over from current prod databases, restore them with rebuild controlfile & open database, then shut down and do startup upgrade?
Or would it be a better practice to create the databases on the new server and just do full imports?
thanks in advance.

Thanks - since the first one I am moving over is a test database, I just created the instance on the new server, shutdown the source test database then copied sp & control files & datafile directory structure over with data files, and decided to try DBUA rather than startup upgrade. Right now it's about 1/2 way through the upgrade so we'll see how it goes.
For the production database I am going to first try my cloning technique then do a startup upgrade or use DBUA. What I'm thinking about doing is copying my last (user managed) online backup over (after creating the instance & directories), doing a startup no mount, rebuild the controlfile to reflect any changes, recover with backup controlfile & apply latest redo, open with resetlogs then shutdown and startup upgrade (or DBUA).
If that works well that's probably the way I'll do the actual production roll over this way, but leave it in recover mode until I shutdown the old database and apply the last redolog, then upgrade it.
I suppose that given these databases are relatively small I could also do the upgrade first then just drop the schemas with tables in them and do a schema level impdp.

Installing contact center enterprise 6.0 in new server and upgrading to 7.0

Hi,
I am trying to install contact center enterprise 6.0 into a new server ( earlier both call manage 4.3 and enterprise 6.0 were in the same BOX). So now i am upgrading cucm4.3 to 7.0 and installing enterprise 6.0 onto a new server taking backup from the old server and restoring in the new server. and after that i am planning to upgrade the Enterprise version to 7.0. Is this the right way or there is any other way.

Take a look at the 7.0 Upgrade Guide for your options. You'll be looking for Tech Refresh.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cust_contact/contact_center/icm_enterprise/icm_enterprise_7_0/installation/guide/Upgrade_Guide.pdf
Is there any reason why you are not upgrading to UCCE 7.5 which is compatible with UCM 7.0?

Moved to new server and needing help with feed

My website www.gothamknightsonline.com has been moved to a new server and I am needing to keep the feed updated with new and old podcasts. I have reposted some of the old episodes as well as a new one I just posted. I have not been able to get the feed to show up. When I view our podcasts itunes page all of the info on each individual podcast is now gone with just the episodes listed and no more information.
Here is the feed URL: http://gothamknightsonline.com/category/podcast/feed/ (I have verified the feed) but I am not certain if this is the same feed URL that was listed before. Either way the plugin i used for my podcasts in wordpress has this in the feed as well as our iTunes id and URL ( http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/batman-gotham-knights-online/id315370686)
I am doing all of this on a Wordpress blog using the podpress plugin.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

iTunes is looking for a feed at http://www.gothamknightsonline.com/feed/?cat=10 and not finding it - checking this I don't get 'file not found' but if there is a file there it contains no data whatever.
I assume this is your original feed URL. The method for redirecting iTunes to another feed URL involves placing a special tag in the original feed, and is described in detail here:
http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
Your new feed contains this tag (effectively redirecting to itself); you need to place a copy of the feed, with the redirect tag, at the original URL and leave it there for a couple of weeks. If you are unable to do this the two alternatives are described in my article.

The simplest way, is to erase the drive and reinstall the OS X.

Other than that, you will have to trash all your User files, delete all the photos from within iPhoto and then empty the trash.

Help migrating to a new server and keeping Aliases intact

Our old G4 server running Tiger Server is experiencing some "odd" hick-ups, so we decided to get a brand new server running 10.5 Server.
When we copy an entire share all internal aliases "just work" (Yay Apple).
Where it gets tricky is we sometimes have links between shares. For instance all sales related materials are kept on a secure volume, where project files are on a public volume. We sometimes have links on the public volume to the secure volume (for instance possibly linking to a client's original feature list from their RFP, which could rightfully be filed in either place).
As we have started migrating over data one thing we realized was that because we are creating new shares these "cross volume" aliases are getting lost.
Ideally I'd love to have a way to hunt down all "orphan" aliases and basically say "hey if you pointed to a certain path on the old secure volume, now go to that path on the new secure volume. Has anyone done this?
At the very least, I'd love a way to find any "orphan" aliases, so I can manually update them....
Thanks,

In a scenario such as you describe one wouldn't bother with manually organizing data. You hit the red button on your data management/ backup software and let it work out the details. Generally one would also use RAID 5 for critical file servers since even while it's running specific single files may need to be restored on the fly if a write operation fails. This also eleiminates the need to run a "full backup" server since it will be extremely unlikely that the server will suffer a catastrophic failure and you lose all data. If that's not an option, a RAID 01 seems more appropriate for your situation than a RAID 10 since you deal with large files and would ned to maintain their integrity at least within one of the stripe sets or else your backup plan falls apart.

New server and/or CA certificate for connection from custom authentication

We are running Access Manager version 72005Q4 in the Sun ONE Web Server 6.1SP5 B06/23/2005 container with java build 1.5.0_07-b03. I run a custom authentication module which checks sessions against our university single sign on system which is CAS (from Yale/Jasig). The checks are essentially https calls. All this has been working well for us for the last couple of years.
I would like to migrate the certificate used on the university CAS system from a Verisign certificate to a wildcard certificate issued by the IPS CA in spain -- these are in most browsers but are not in the standard batch of cacerts CA's -- and are free for .edu domains.
My other java based authentication plugins (Blackboard, custom apps etc) have worked fine once I import the certificate into the cacerts for the java container, but I'm missing something (obvious probably) about importing this certificate so that my amserver custom authentication module can connect to the CAS server once the CAS server is using the new certificate.
Could anyone provide guidance on where I need to import this server certificate (or preferably the IPS CA) in order to allow the custom authentication module to work properly? I assume this same problem has been solved by people wishing to connect from the amserver to services with self signed certificates. For some reason I'm finding the debugging unexpectedly difficult, I'll outline some of those details below.
Relevant things I've tried so far:
Import both the server cert and the IPS CA into the cacerts of the java container identified in the web server server.xml /usr/jdk/entsys-j2se.
Import the IPS CA into the web server cert8 style db via the web admin server.
The debugging has surprised me a bit, as I'm not getting an error that is explicitly SSL related error. It almost seems like the URLConnection object ends up using a HttpURLConnection rather than an HttpsURLConnection and never gives me a cert error, rather a connection refused since there is no non SSL service running on CAS. The same code pointed to the server running the verisign cert works as expected.

URLConnection uc = u.openConnection();
uc.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close");
r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(uc.getInputStream()));
String line;
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
while ((line = r.readLine()) != null)
buf.append(line + "\n");
return buf.toString();
} finally { ...
The fact that this same code in other authentication modules running outside the amserver (in other web containers as well, tomcat and resin for example) running java 1.5 works fine with the new CA, as well as with self signed certs that I've imported into the appropriate cacerts file leads me to believe that I'm either importing the certificate into the wrong store, or that there is some additional step needed for the amserver in the Sun Web container.
Thank you very much for any insights and help,
Ethan

I thought since this has had a fair number of views I would give an update.
I have been able to confirm that the custom authentication module is using the cert8 db defined in the AMConfig property com.iplanet.am.admin.cli.certdb.dir as documented. I do seem to have a problem using the certificate to make outgoing connections, even though the certificate verifies correctly for use as a server certificate. This is likely a question for a different forum, but just to show what I'm looking at:
root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -V -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -u V
certutil: certificate is valid
root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -V -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -u C
certutil: certificate is invalid: Certificate type not approved for application.
root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -M -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -t uP,uP,uP
root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -V -l -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -u C
FSU Wildcard Certificate : Certificate type not approved for application.
So it could be that I don't understand how to use the certutiil to get the permissions I want, or it could be that using the same certificate for both server and client functions is not supported -- though you can see why this would be a common case with wildcard certificates.
BTW for those interested, it did seem to be the case that when the certificate failure occurred that the attempt was then made by the URLConnection to bind to port 80 in cleartext even though the URL was clearly https. I'm sure this was just an attempt to help out misformed URL, but it seemed that the URLConnection implementation in the amserver would swapped traffic over cleartext if that port had been open on the server I was making the https connection to; that seems dangerous to me, I would not have wanted it to quietly work that way exposing sensitive information to the network.
This was why I was getting back a connection refused instead of a certificate exception. The URLConnection implementation used by the amserver is defined by java.protocol.handler.pkgs=com.iplanet.services.comm argument passwd to the JVM, and I imagine this is done because the amserver pre-dates the inclusion of the sun.net.www.protocol handlers, but I don't know, there maybe reasons why the amserver wants it own handler. I only noticed that this is what was going on when I as casting the httpsURLConnection objects to other types trying to diagnose the certificate problem. I would be interested in hearing if anyone knows if there is a reason not to use sun.net.www.protocol with the amserver.
After switching to the sun.net.www.protocol handler I was able to get my certificate errors rather than the "Connection Refused" which is what lead me to the above questions about certutil.

Configure to new Server and Deploy a WebApplication

I need some informations about the applications deploy. I have developed two applications that accept as request SIP message "MESSAGE"; both the applications have in their sip.xml file, a mapping of this type:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>serviceCallSipServlet</servlet-name>
<pattern>
<and>
<equal>
<var>request.method</var>
<value>MESSAGE</value>
</equal>
</and>
</pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
That involves that at the reception of this MESSAGE, we have a problem in specifying what application we refere to so there is a server error.
As a possible solution I have tried to create a new server through the console (Server -> Configure a new Server...)and I called it "myserver2".
Then I have created a new sipChannel associated to this new server(myserver2-> Protocols-> channel)using 5040 port instead of 5060 port.
I have finally deployed one of the two applications in this server after eliminating it from the other server(I have tried to change only the target).
The application is deployed on the new server (myserver2)but does not come deployed .
The server has been start:
/startWeblogic.sh for the standard.
/startManagendWebLogic.sh myserver2 http://localhost:7001 for the new server.
Is ok this way in order to have on the same able dominion two server to receive sip request from two various port?
If Yes how I can resolve the issue?
I can or I must use other way in order to resolve this problem?
Thanks...

Move appset to new server and new version

Hi
I am currently on 5.1, SQL 2005 and Windows 2003, where we have some performance issues. To see the effekt of an upgrade I would like to move my current appset to a new server with BPC 7.5 SQL 2008 and Windows 2008.
How should I do this?
Can I make a clean installaion of BPC 7.5 on SQL 2008 and then restore the 5.1 version appset into 7.5.
What is the recommended way to do this.

Hi,
There is nothing to worry.
You need to take the backup from the 5.1 system and restore it in 7.5 MS. After the restoration, please make sure that all the components are working fine or not. You might have to look at the security once again and the reports and the input schedules. There might be small small alterations / modifications required. However, there wont be any big development. There is only one area which needs little more concentration - SSIS packages. You might have to re-build the SSIS packages in SQL 2008. Another thing is that if you have any macros or VB in your templates, you might have to revisit them.
As a whole, I dont see much challenge in this whole process.
Hope this helps.

Cableone innstalled a new server and now my thunderbird email will not work. What do I do now?

Cableone, our internet provider, has changed from a Google server to their own server and now my Thunderbird email will not work. They have directions listed to make it work, but this does not work. I have also contacted Cableone's technical support and they say because thunderbird is not their system they have no responsibility to make it work. I prefer to use Thunderbird for my email - how can I make it work? Also, I have tried the Thunderbird 'Automatic Account Configuration' help and it does not work.

Ask your less than helpful provider for the server settings and setup the new account up manually.
You want to know IMAP or POP and the name of the server. The port number and if it uses SSL/TLS security.
You need the same info for the SMTP server for outbound mail.

HT1483 My ipod needed repairing, so I backed up the data into restore file. My ipod was swapped for a totally new ipod and now I am having difficulty reloading the restored data that I saved. I keep getting the corrupt or not compatible MSG??? Any Ideas

My IPOD needed repairing, so I backed up my personal data into a restore file. In the end my ipod was exchanged for a brand new one and now I am having difficulty with restoring all of my data that I saved.
While trying to restore through iTunes I keep gettingthe corrupt or not compatible error message. Does anyone have any ideas or experience with this issue?
Much Appreciated for any help!

You can not restorea a backup made with a newer version of iOS to a phone with an older version of iOS.
1400 photos stored on the phone? Do you not EVER extract them? The camera roll is intended to be temporary storage. Like the SD card in a digital camera. You should be extracting them to your computer on a regular basis.
Contacts should be synced to a compatible contact manager or cloud service. If you were not doing any of these things, guard your backups with your life and make sure your computer is being backed up on a regular basis, because you won't be able to get them back until you get a new phone with at least the same version of iOS that your 4 had.
There are 3rd party applications that say they can extract this information from a backup file, but I don't have personal experience with them.

SQL Editions and Migrating SCCM 2012 R2

Hey guys looking for a bit of info here...
We have an existing hierarchy of 1 CAS and 3 Primary sites, along with 13 secondary sites attached to 1 of the Primary Sites. I just learned that during the setup of these sites SQL 2012 Enterprise Evaluation Edition was used to install all the sites. Now the
Evaluation Edition on the CAS SQL server has expired... oops... Obviously I don't want to pay for Enterprise licenses if I don't need them, so I'm looking for a way to get to SQL Standard.
I have found some information about moving SCCM Sites to a new SQL server but am a bit nervous doing that from what I've read on how picky SCCM is with not changing SQL stuff. I have a guy here who is a bit of a SQL guru that feels like we should be able to
migrate to a new SQL database pretty smoothly, but I'm a tad skeptical since he doesn't know much, if anything, about SCCM.
My thought was to build a new hierarchy and use the built in migration feature of SCCM 2012 R2 to move data to the new hierarchy. Are there any caveats to the migration? Are there things that can't be transferred using a migration job? Will I have to re-install
all of our clients once we migrate?
Has anyone done this, or could anyone provide some insight on which route to pursue? I'm leaning more towards the migration since it's built into SCCM and it is meant to do that sort of thing, rather than trying to rip the SQL DB out from behind SCCM and trying
to connect it to a new instance.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Actually, your SQL guru is right. It's easy enough to do it underneath it all. Just stop all of the CM stuff before they rip and replace. Can't hurt to make sure you have a good SQL backup of your CM database on the CAS in a safe place
just before he starts, too. The main thing is to keep as much as you can in the exact same places, (although that isn't that big of deal either); but the fewer things you change the better; like tempdb or how your files for sql are laid out for your
CAS--don't move them about just because you're reinstalling SQL.
We did do that in CM07; moved from SQL ent to SQL Std because we didn't really need ent.
Worst case scenario, if CM doesn't wake up well post-reinstall, you have to run through Site Recovery / restore from your SQL backup (which you carefully remembered to take, right after shutting down SMS services but before the SQL guy started ripping out
the old eval version).
Standardize. Simplify. Automate.
