Removing old server

I needed to move my exchange 2010 server to new hardware. So, I built the new server, loaded Exchange 2010 on Windows 2008, created send/receive connectors, changed the firewall to point my external ip address to the new server, installed a new ssl,
moved all the mailboxes and public folders to the new database. Everything seems to be working fine, and I want to try shutting down the old server this weekend.
However, I just tried to telnet to the new server on 25 and I get:
421 4.3.2 Service not available
Connection to host lost.
Transport service is running. Did I miss something?

OK, now a new question: I have IIS, connectors, transport, etc. running on both servers. I believe I've don everything I need to do to decommission the old server. However if I check the client machines they're still pointed at the old
server name. I changed the IP address for autodiscover to the new server in DNS.
Other than shutting down the old server, is there a method of turning off IIS and Exchange services to force all clients to configure for the new server? I'd rather not just shut down the old server and risk getting a lot of phone calls if there's
something else that needs to be done before uninstalling exchange.

How do I move mail from an old server to a new server?

I am rebuilding my server. The new server runs on OS X 10.9.4 with Server 3.1.2. The old server ran OS X 10.9.x and Server 3.x (the exact versions are not known).
Within the folder /Library/Server/Mail, I found the email stores for both systems. I have gone through each folder and identified the 36 character string that serves to identify the user's mailbox and paired each one to a user id on both systems. On the old system, there are multiple mailboxes for some users, and I think it is a result of the users being deleted and recreated: perhaps the system identified the identical name and assumed that the user might be different and therefore created a unique 36 character id for the mail system.
The trick is, I am trying to recover the mail from the old server.
I have attempted to copy the files which are human readable and formatted for SMTP transmission to the new server under the correct mailbox corresponding to the owning user (see screen shots below). The simple act of copying the files has not made these files visible via the IMAP protocol. I have tried restarting the mail service hoping that the Server app would rebuild whatever indexes need to be built so that the mail can be served via IMAP, and that has not worked either.
The question is, how do I get the mail from the old server mail boxes into the new server mailboxes?
This screen shot shows the location of one mail collection at /Library/Server/Mail/Data/mail/[userid]. Mail sits in the "new" folder only for a moment before being processed and put into the "cur" folder. Copying mail from the old server into the "new" folder produces an empty "new" folder, but one can see the files populate briefly before they are moved into the "cur" folder.
The next screen shot shows one email opened in TextEdit. The format should look very familiar. This is the same format that one would use to send SMTP requests to an SMTP server. This particular example happens to be an email from a Gmail account to the PediatricHeartCenter.org domain to test the mail system when the old server was set up. It was sent on 24 Jan 2014 and had text reading "Intended for Mavericks1. -Jared".

On further research, I have learned that OS X Server sets Dovecot to use the MailDir format. The email messages can be removed from the folders and put back, and as long as they were present in the folder to begin with (received by Dovecot originally), they reflect in the Mail.app on client computers. Deleting a file in the "cur" folder causes the file to disappear in Mail.app. Copying the file back into the "cur" folder will cause the file to reappear without any modification of an index file or any other system component, as long as the file was properly formatted by Dovecot to be identifiable to that folder.
According to Dovecot.org's review of MailDir found here (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Ma,ilboxFormat/Maildir), the file name can be broken into simple pieces: " [unixtimestamp].[process id].[hostName],S=<message size>,W=<virtual message size>/2,[status tags]". The original MailDir++ specification requires the string ":2," to appear after the virtual size, but this file naming format is not legal in Mac OS X, so Dovecot is modified by Apple to use "/2," instead.
The Dovecot's wiki describes inserting new messages as follows:
Mail delivery
Qmail's how a message is delivered page suggests to deliver the mail like this:
Create a unique filename (only "time.pid.host" here, later Maildir spec has been updated to allow more uniqueness identifiers)
Do stat(tmp/<filename>). If the stat() found a file, wait 2 seconds and go back to step 1.
Create and write the message to the tmp/<filename>.
link() it into new/ directory. Although not mentioned here, the link() could again fail if the mail existed in new/ dir. In that case you should probably go back to step 1.
All this trouble is rather pointless. Only the first step is what really guarantees that the mails won't get overwritten, the rest just sounds nice. Even though they might catch a problem once in a while, they give no guaranteed protection and will just as easily pass duplicate filenames through and overwrite existing mails.
Step 2 is pointless because there's a race condition between steps 2 and 3. PID/host combination by itself should already guarantee that it never finds such a file. If it does, something's broken and the stat() check won't help since another process might be doing the same thing at the same time, and you end up writing to the same file in tmp/, causing the mail to get corrupted.
In step 4 the link() would fail if an identical file already existed in the maildir, right? Wrong. The file may already have been moved to cur/ directory, and since it may contain any number of flags by then you can't check with a simple stat() anymore if it exists or not.
Step 2 was pointed out to be useful if clock had moved backwards. However again this doesn't give any actual safety guarantees, because an identical base filename could already exist in cur/. Besides if the system was just rebooted, the file in tmp/ could probably be even overwritten safely (assuming it wasn't already link()ed to new/).
So really, all that's important in not getting mails overwritten in your maildir is the step 1: Always create filenames that are guaranteed to be unique. Forget about the 2 second waits and such that the Qmail's man page talks about.
The process described by the QMail man page referenced above suggests that as long as a file is placed in the "new" folder, that a mail reader can access it. The mail reader then moves the file to the "cur" folder and "cleans up" the "new" folder. This is clearly happening in OS X, because the messages are moving from "new" to "cur", but IMAP is still not serving these foreign messages to the remote readers.
The thought crossed my mind that perhaps it is the fact that the host name does not match, which would cause the failure, however changing the "host" portion of the name from the old-server to the new-server did not fix the issue. Even with the new server name in the file name, the inserted message fails to appear in client Mail applications.
Within the file their is header information that still references the old machine. I'd like to not have to change the email files, because this will violate the integrity of the message. Also, this might take a lot of time or incur risks associated with poor automated processing. The header information should not be referenced by Dovecot, because the wiki page describing MailDir notes that neither Dovecot nor Dovecot's implementation of IMAP refers to the messages header information when moving and serving these mail files.
Unlike when using mbox as mailbox format, where mail headers (for example Status, X-UID, etc.) are used to determine and store meta-data, the mail headers within maildir files are (usually) notused for this purpose by dovecot; neither when mails are created/moved/etc. via IMAP nor when maildirs are placed (e.g. copied or moved in the filesystem) in a mail location (and then "imported" by dovecot). Therefore, it is (usually) not necessary, to strip any such mail headers at the MTA, MDA or LDA (as it is recommended with mbox).
This paragraph leads me to believe that after the mail box is identified that the content of the file becomes irrelevant to the system which manages. This suggests that we should be able to inject messages into a mailbox and have the system serve them as though they had belonged in that mailbox all along. Yet I have not found a way to do this.

HT203756 How can I remove 'old' or 'incomplete' backups from iCloud?

How can I remove 'old' or 'incomplete' backups from iCloud?
When I attempted, the iPhone 6+ message asked if I wanted to remove ALL of the backups... without giving me the option of selecting the specific one I wanted to remove.
I had performed 'backups' of my old iPhone, but, when I tried to RESTORE to the REPLACEMENT iPhone, at least one of the iCloud backups shows 'incomplete'. There was no 'error' on the original iPhone...when it 'failed' to complete the backup.
Now, I would like to 'clear up' the 'storage' on the iCloud, but am unable to select specific ones. I can either keep all instances or shut off iCloud Backup which would, according to the message, remove/delete ALL of the BACKUPS.
This shouldn't be this difficult.....

I too wondered how you remove apps from iCloud. Judging by the quantity of questions, comments, suggestions and replies (some rather rude) there is a clear need for Apple to make their literature a lot clearer. The page describing what iCloud backs up refers to "app data" as an item which is backed up. To the uniniated this might mean the app program but it seems not. The app is "bought" via iTunes or the App Store and details of your purchase (free or otherwise) is held there separately on the server.
It would be nice however to be able to remove the reference to junk I have downloaded and decided I don't want so that it doesn't appear on the purchased apps listing! Apple please note this.
It must be remembered that Apple products come pitifully supported by manuals "out of the box" on the assumption that it is so easy to use the product that no explanation is needed. They forget that most buyers of Apple products (me included) don't know (and don't want to know) how they work, so when something is not obvious they are required to plough through Lord knows how many web pages of "knowledge base" material until they find an answer.
All I can add is that it is worth spending time reading the multiitude of discussion threads before asking the question yet again...

You say you have the pse 5 disk?
I guess you do't have a dvd drive on your new windows 8 computer?
Do you have access to another computer with a dvd drive?
Anyway if you can find another computer with a dvd drive you could copy the pse 5 install disc to removable device like a camera card or flash drive.
You can also buy cheap usb dvd drives.

Can't remove OVM server from server pool

Hi!
I tried to remove Oracle VM server using OVM. Both have version 3.0.3
I use Add/remove wizard from server pool. Selected my single server from list and pressed OK. Nothing happend. Server still in pool.
I tried to do so when server was online, offline. Results are the same. I reinstalled OVS, but now i'm can't discover it again even i configured different name and IP address. MAC is the same and it's the reason.
So, is it any way to force delete OVS using any tool or i have to reinstall OVM and it's repository?

I did it but i don't know how :)
I tried to discover re-installed server with new IP and name. This operation was failed.
I changed IP address on re-installed server to old one. And re-discovered server with old name. After that it appeared in unassigned machines list. So, i was able to delete it and also delete old server pool

Problem removing old versions with customization wizard 8

I'm trying to deploy Acrobat Reader 8 to our XP Professional desktops via Active Directory software installation (Windows Server 2003 domain)
I have obtained the MSI release of Reader 8, customised it using Adobe Customization Wizard 8, and deployed it through AD as per the Adobe documentation. This works as expected for new machines without a previous release of Reader installed.
However for desktops that have Reader 6 or 7 installed, we end up with two versions installed side by side (visible in Add/Remove Programs). Reader 8 works fine at this point. Removing the older version causes the PDF file association that Reader 8 created to be broken, also the Internet Explorer browser plugin is broken. Reader 8 has to be reinstalled manually to fix this issue.
I have read that Reader automatically removes old versions of itself when you install a new version. Additionally, when customising the MSI, "Remove previous version of Reader" is greyed out. However it appears that the installer is not removing old versions.
Any ideas as to a solution?
Thanks a lot
Tom Fanning

I have the same problem and i have wasted like 50 hours on this s**t. I'm trying to deploy reader 8 on our 1800 XP workstations with SMS 2003.
The cutomization tool is totally useless. The only way i have came up with is to create a script wich checks if earlier versions of Adobe reader is installed by looking if the installation folders exists (for example c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader ).
If the installation folders exists, the script would run the uninstallatoin string of the reader using its Windows installer product code, like this:
MsiExec.exe /x /qn {AC76BA86-7AD7-1035-7B44-A70000000000}
Now, the problem with the script is that we have several versions of reader 6 and 7 including 3 different languages. The script or the .BAT file would be quite complicated and the testing is allmost impossible.
I think that it would be much more easier to create a script that deletes all the shotcuts for Adobe reader and then installs a Freeware product for openig PDF files.

In my opinion, adobe products are a nightmare for IT admins and their support system is even worse than Microsofts.

IPhoto Has Thousands of References to Photos on an Old Server

My wife and I have been using Apple products forever. When iPhoto came out, we started importing all our printed photos. In the beginning, we put all these photos on my computer to act as a server, and somehow (this was maybe 10 years ago) we got the photos into my wife's computer's iPhoto. What happened was that her iPhoto created references to the photos on my computer, rather than copying them to her computer. So fast forward 5 years - we both have new computers, new versions of iPhoto, and her computer starts spitting out errors after a minute of trying to view most photos - the old computer is missing. So she performs a months-long surgery to find the thousands of missing photos by name on my new computer and copy them over to hers, and then re-link them.
Why not just import everything? She's chosen to keep different photos from me, with different ratings, and organized them all into albums which are different from mine.
So this works for a while and then suddenly, SURPRISE! It happens again. Her iPhoto goes back to missing thousands of photos which it can't seem to find on a computer I haven't had in ten years. Every time she clicks one, it takes 60-90 seconds trying to connect to the non-existent computer (even with my networking completely off) and then complains that it can't find it.
Is she in for another months-long surgery to move these photos over to her drive and re-change all the files AGAIN? This time, it came along with the destruction of most thumbnails. Of the 20,000 photos, about half are blank or a repeat of the same wrong thumbnail.
What we've tried: I got her a new computer. I upgraded her to Mountain Lion. I ran all the non-import special functions you get from holding down command-option and launching iPhoto. They all completed except the "upgrade thumbnails" takes about 6 hours to get about 1/8 of the way through before crashing. I have to set a book on the return key so that the infinite "missing file" pop-ups can be bypassed. I doubt we'll ever get past 1/8 of the way rebuilding.
What can I do? Is there a way to detect which photos are "missing files" without clicking each one? Is there a way to remove the references to "really old server (2)" in the iPhoto database so that at least we can avoid the 60-90 second network-checking wait after each missing photo click? I am a computer professional so I feel competent changing things in the iPhoto database if there is a way to do so.
Help!

If her entire library is a "referenced" library to photos on your old Mac that library is history. She might as well as delete it and start over. If she has photos in that library that are not referenced and are still viewable try using iPhoto LIbrary Manager to rebuild the Library as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
Is your library a "managed" library?
If it is you can put it on an external HD that is formatted as shown in this screenshot
and both of you can use the same library (just not at the same time).
If that's not acceptable and her library has no photos salvageable try this:
1 - have your wife create a new managed library.
2 - connect you two Macs by a wired LAN, Target Disk Mode, Transferring files between two computers using FireWire or WiFi.
3 - use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy those Events from your library into hers. Also copied will be the keywords, titles, places and other metadata.
And I'd not use a referenced library again. It's just not worth the problems it brings up.

Server name changed but old server name reflecting

Hi Experts,
Issue is In the SQL server name is changed.
When the user is logging on SAP old server name is appearing and in SAP 8.8 there is no option of change like in SAP 2005B and 2007B so no database is appearing on screen.
What should be done in such condition.
Thanks & Regards -
Mona.

In 8.8 you need to add and maintain servers through the license manager of the server tools. Open license manager settings and click the button on the bottom left (Configure Security). Enter your B1 site users details and then in the next screen you can define an additional server as well as remove the old one; I had the exact same issue a few days ago!

Remove Old Doc Library Storage References

I have an 8.02 HP3 post office that is complaining about old Library
Document Storage areas
There DSA's were re-defined years ago but there seems to be a reference
to them still hanging around somewhere (I presume in the PO or Library
DB)
All our libriaries work fine and the old server that contained these
DSAs has been retired.
Would really like to clean this up as it requires us to load the POA on
Windows manually (and respond to the storage area not found messages)
as it won't load as a Windows service because of this.
Steve

I know it removes the directory contents, not sure if it also removes any
empty directories under the libxxx top level directory
But it should clear any superfluous references.

Solman_Setup, J2EE Configuration, start J2EE Config points at old server

Hi,
I have recently performed a system copy on my solution manager server. As far as I'm aware I have followed the correct procedure and performed all post installation tasks.
Since the copy I have a problem with my SLD which is in my solution manager system. I think it may be one of two problems.
Firstly
When I run SOLMAN_SETUP initial configuration step 3 - Start J2EE Configuration the url launched points at my old server name rather than the new one.
I have raised a call with SAP and have so far done the following things
Notes : 1297849 & 805344 - Everything pointed to new server
Notes 1301106 & 669669 - I have patched ABAB & JAVA AND updated the Content in the SLD
Note 624282 : Transaction LCRSERVADDR contains no entries and the SLDCHECK launches the correct SLD info.
None of these notes resolved my issue
Secondly
In transaction SMSY my solution manager settings are not correct - The ABAP stack is correct the message server points to the new message server, however the JAVA stack message server still points to the old system. I have tried to delete but I am unable to as I get the message system in use in Groups / Landscapes. SAP have done work on my server as part of the SURGEN programme and I'm sure this is something they have done that I am not able to remove.
Please help.
Regards
Tracey Smith. (John Beard - Corporate account for Kelda Group)

You are using client 100 for example. It seems so that the UME store from the Java stack still points to the 001 client (probably you made a client copy on ABAP side from 001 to 100????). The CTC want to check SOLMAN_ADMIN user in the system where the UME destination is set (in this case 001).
So basically you got now 2 options: redirect your Java UME to client 100 or you simply create the required user SOLMAN_ADMIN in 001 client.

How to Remove old updates from Software Update service

Running a 10.10.2 OS X Server and have a lot of old Update files I need to get rid of. I have followed instructions on...
Mac OS X Server 10.4 or later: Removing old updates from Software Update Server
...but getting this error...
No such file or directory
...when typing...
grep swupd /etc/swupd/com.apple.server.swupdate.plist > ~/Desktop/update_list.txt
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I don't use Apple's own SUS software I use Reposado instead, however it is my understanding that the locations of files used by Apple's SUS software have been moved with Yosemite/Server 4.x.
Try looking in the following locations
/Library/Server/Software Update/Config/
/Library/Server/Software Update/Data/

Oracle Linux Remove Old Kernels

I was just wondering if Oracle Linux by default removes old outdated kernels when I run 'yum update' command? I see new kernels getting installed consistently however I never see any kernels being removed like I expect to see in RHEL as a new kernel is downloaded. Is there a way to see which kernels are installed on my Oracle Linux 6.3 server and how I can remove them so they don't clutter my Grub screen and system?

You can check the grub boot menu, which normally has an entry for all installed kernels:
<pre>
# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
</pre>
Or query the installed kernel packages:
<pre>
# rpm -qa | grep kernel
</pre>
To remove a kernel, use the YUM utility:
<pre>
# yum remove kernel-package
</pre>
For instance:
<pre>
# rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-uek-2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek
kernel-uek-2.6.32-300.10.1.el5uek
kernel-2.6.18-274.el5
kernel-uek-devel-2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek
kernel-headers-2.6.18-308.el5
kernel-2.6.18-308.el5
kernel-uek-firmware-2.6.32-300.10.1.el5uek
kernel-uek-devel-2.6.32-300.10.1.el5uek
# uname -r
2.6.32-300.10.1.el5uek
# yum remove kernel-uek-2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek
</pre>
The example above is for OL 5, but works in OL 6 as well.

Moving Exchange from old server to completely new server

Hello All,
I hope to get some good pointers here. I currently have Exchange server 2007 SP1 running today. The server is old and the warranty just expired. I have been given permission to buy a new server and migrate to it. I have the new server
up and running with Exchange 07 SP1 installed. I am looking for the best way to migrate and move users from one server, to the new one and decommission the old one. The storage is Are there any special steps I need to take? Do
I need to do any ADPrep to tell AD to use the new server? I've tried looking for a guide or a how-to but all I have found are vague and brief ways to install Exchange server, but not to migrate from one server to a new one. These are two separate
physical servers btw.
edit - I forgot to mention that the exchange store is on a SAN via iSCSI
Thank you,
David

David,
Moving exchange in ten easy steps:
1.Bring up a new server as a new server in the same site. Use a different name for the new server. If you need to move Exchange to another server with the same name, follow the instructions in the Microsoft article “XADM: How to Move Exchange Server to a
New Computer with the Same Name” (http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q155/2/16.asp).
2.To move user mailboxes to the new server, start Microsoft Exchange Administrator, click Tools, and select Move Mailbox. You can move all the mailboxes at once, one at a time, or several at a time. In many cases, you can move mailboxes during working hours
because each user is locked out of his or her mailbox only while that mailbox is being moved.
3.Create replicas of the public folders on the new server. When the contents of the folders have been replicated (do wait a little while!), remove the folders from the old server.
4.Create new connectors on the new servers. Change the costs of the old connectors you're replacing to be higher than the new ones, then recalculate routing.
5.Create mail exchanger (MX) records pointing to the new Internet Mail Service (IMS) as appropriate, and change the cost on the old MX record so that it’s higher than the costs on the new records. When you’ve verified that messages are flowing across the
new connectors, remove the old ones, then recalculate routing again.
6.Follow the steps in the Microsoft article “XADM: How to Remove the First Exchange Server in a Site” (http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q152/9/59.asp) if the server
you're replacing is the first one in the site.
7.Leave the old server up for a while to give Messaging API (MAPI) clients time to connect to the new server automatically ( the old server provides referrals to the new one). It's true—you don't have to reconfigure MAPI clients!
8.Tell POP3 and IMAP4 users how to reconfigure their clients to point to the new server.
9.If you have a WINS or DNS alias for the old server, point it to the new server.
10.Stop the Exchange services on the old server, then use Exchange Administrator to delete the old server's server object, thus removing it from the site.
I hope that helps you out.
Cheers,

Rolling Cluster Upgrade - removing old NetWare node?

According to the docs, you remove the old NetWare node from the tree, and then delete the Cluster Node, Server object and all corresponding objects related to the downed NetWare server.
I'm assuming by "cluster node" object they mean you go into the cluster object (the thingy that looks like 3 red balls) and find the "cluster" node that looks like an NCP server object with a red ball on it?
Secondly,
After you delete all those objects, are you still supposed to see it in the cluster?
Meaning you go into iManager, Cluster -> Cluster Manager, and it still shows that old server as belonging in the cluster, just that it's "unknown" state?

Well got an SR open at this point. Something definitely wrong with the cluster. eDir shows all the correct information, but when you go into iMangler -> Clusters -> Cluster Manager it has the following problems:
a) It shows a new resource called: CN (that has a triangle/pyramid icon) and shows "edir sync" with a yellow status icon. But you don't see this "resource" anywhere else.
b) The cluster node shows up, when you click on it, it shows it has an IP address that's one less than what it really is. (ie, 10.10.1.9 and it's really 10.10.1.10). It does this for EVERY cluster node
But, if you go into the Cluster Options, instead, and click on the cluster node, it shows the correct information there. eDir objects have the correct IP, etc.
I vaguely remember running into this years ago when we tried to remove/reinsert a cluster node on NetWare.
Where in the world does the cluster hold/get its information? It can't be from eDir because eDir shows up okay, so where the cluster thinks these other resources and IP's are is beyond me.

Removing old exchange 2003 routing groups from Exchange 2010.

I have migrated over to Exchange 2010(server2008) from Exchange 2003(SBS2003). I've also already run the uninstall for exchange 2003 on the old SBS 2003 server. The old server itself is still running but exchange has been removed and once I get this fixed
I plan to fully remove the old SBS server.
I now get event ID 5020 and 5006 throughout the day on the new server. From what I've read, this happens because the old routing group connectors still exist.
If I run Get-ExchangeServer I get

Am I correct in assuming that the way to fix this now is to go into ADSI edit and delete records under CN=First Administrative Groups? As in delete CN=Routing Groups and CN=Servers and everything under both of those? I'd try this myself but I'm not aware
of any way to restore those records easily if I'm wrong.

Get-RoutingGroupConnector shows nothing. As for the servers group. It has the old server under it as shown in the image I posted above. That's actually what stops me from just deleting it because other guides have said not to delete it if an old server
is listed.
Is the SBS2003 server listed because I haven't ran DCPROMO to remove it from the network yet? I am planning to do this but was waiting till I cleaned up all the errors before transferring the 5 FMSO roles and running DCPROMO on the old server.
DCPROMO isn't related to this, no.
So you removed Exchange already? How? With setup? It should have removed the Exchange Server object then.
It is supported to remove Exchange 2003 manually if required with adsiedit:
