Renaming TFS Server name upon migration from TFS 2010 to TFS 2012

We are migrating from TFS 2010 on existing server to TFS 2012 on new server. All components (TFS 2012, SQL 2012, SPS 2010) are directly on the new server similar to existing server (TFS 2010, SQL 2008 R2, WSS 3.0).
The new server has a new name, however the service provider that does the actual migration,
wants to rename
the new server to be same name as the name of the original existing server when it is shutdown. The rename is intended to be done using
netdom utility.
I noticed there are articles by microsoft and others that describe various issues that may arrise as
result of TFS server rename. However service provider still plans to rename based on his field experience and best practices.
What do u recommend to do in this aspect ? Why would it be necessary to rename and not use the new name (DNS can map old name as well to the new IP) ? What are the actual risks in such rename and is it worth it ?
Thank u

Hi Cathy,
Thank u for your reply.
We know that renaming the new server to the same name as the original one, is
not a must for the migration to work. The issue in question is as follows :
1. A Microsoft partner that has hands on experience in TFS migration, and planned to migrate for us, recommends to rename the new server name, to the original server name, utilizing net_dom command, and to do it during / after same procedure u
provided link to.
2. We found Microsoft documentation that cautions about renaming the server, e.g. renaming SQL server which is in our case on same machine where TFS 2012 is to be installed. However, the partner urges us to rename, explaining that net_dom should perform
the rename safely without caution risk.
Kindly let u sknow if Micorsoft considers such rename with net_dom to be a good
practice in low risk for such migration,
or better keep the new server name as it is and just map the old server name in DNS to the IP of the new server.
Thank u.

How long should it take a well-qualified server admin to migrate from Tiger to Lion...

How long should it take a well-qualified server admin to migrate from Tiger to Lion...
For a small company, if the Tiger server is running on a G4 Tower:
-Roughly 500GB in user files
-Data resides on old-school ATA drives
-OD Master - Kerberized
-AFP
-Mobile Homes
-DHCP
-DNS (for 2 domains)
-FTP
-iChat
-Mail (non SSL)
-NetBoot
-Print Server
-SWUPD
-VPN
-Hosting website using MySQL
-User & Computer Management
Considerations/Hurdles/Challenges:
-Tossing old G4 into garbage, upgrading Mini client to Snow Leopard, adding Lion iMac client to the LAN
-Fresh OS installs on the Mini and iMac
-Upgrading from CAT5 to CATE on the LAN (not it the walls - just loose cables)
-All new hardware must be sourced out (take some time to price compare)
-Must find a way to transfer data from ATA drives to SATA drives or Lion Server
-Company must not have any email downtime (MX Records to be modified on DNS Providers site)
-Servers hostname goes from "companyserver.company.com" to "server.company.com"
-ISP blocks some SMTP ports
-DNS Provider doesn't support TSL/SSL SMTP
-Implementing a switch into the network
-Implementing a new router (for firewall and NAT) from ISP
Upgrading to Lion Mini Server
-All the same services
-Using SSL
-Implementing Mobile Device Enrolment and Deployment
That should just about cover it. I'll add any other details/hurdles as they come to mind.
Can you guys give me your best guesstimate as to how many hours you think this job should take? I'd appreciate any feedback as to how long you guys think it'd take you to make this transition. I'm trying to plan, and we're going to be down-and-out, the boss NEEDS to know for how long.!
Thanks in advance guys!

It's about a gigabyte, so if you have a slow connection, it might take some time.
But - you shouldn't be getting the beach ball - that's a different thing.
Can you do open Activity Monitor, or is it stuck completely?

Ping to local domain works but ping to server name dont work from local network PC

Hi
I have done a fresh install of the Windows Server 2012 R2 and installed Essentials Experience role to it.
My problem is that I cannot ping server name from PC in the local network. I can ping local domain name (domain.local).
When I try to ping local domain in the server, it resolutes ok and gives server IPv4 IP but when I ping server name in the server, it gives me IPv6 IP ::1: which I understand to be IPv6 loopback IP. I dont know if this has anything to do with the pinging
problem from the PC.
I had earlier the same server configuration and this earlier server gives IPv4 IP when server name is pinged from the server itself.
How to get PC to ping server name so that I could use http://servername/connect??
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Have you set firewall to allow incoming ICMP Echo messages ?
By default, Windows Firewall does not allow incoming ICMP Echo messages, and therefore the computer cannot send an ICMP Echo Reply in response.
You may like to refer to the article below to check if it worked:
Nobody Can Ping My Computer
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749323(WS.10).aspx
In addition, please also provide us the output of ipconfig /all on each side of these machines for further research.
Hope it helps.

Migrating from DHCP 2003 to DHCP 2012

Hi,
i'm planning to migrate from DHCP 2003 to DHCP 2012 or DHCP 2012 R2 failover.
Saw those instructions:
extract the configuration in .TXT
netsh dhcp server export c:\temp\dhcp.txt all
copy this file on your server 2012 in temp or elsewhere
import the configuration with this command
netsh dhcp server import c:\temp\dhcp.txt all
if you have the error "TLS supported but not configured"
remove all the option in "Server Option" like 003 Router 006 DNS SERVERS and put it back after doing the import
now i have some questions:
1. is it recommended to build 2 2012 DHCP configured as failover on virtual machines ? (hyper-V)
2. do those dhcp servers have to or recommended to be DNS also or can they be only DHCP servers ?
3. my AD functionality level is 2003 - is it a problem for this migration ?
4. virtual or physical ? whats is recommended ?
5. any other considerations ?
TNX

Hi,
Virtual or physical will both work. It doesn't matter, as long as the two servers can communicate with each other.
You do not need DNS installed on the same server, but you can install it without hurting anything.
I believe that the AD level has no effect because you can have DHCP failover even on workgroup computers.

Migrating From Exchange 2010

I am in the process of migrating from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013. I have all mailboxes migrated to Exchange 2013 and am ready to eliminate Exchange 2010 in its entirety, but I am unsure about public folders. We have no public folders other
than the default ones generated during the Exchange 2010 installation. I can't find anything in any of the migration guides that explain what I need to do in this case. Do I need to migrate anything, or can I just uninstall Exchange from the server
and ignore the default public folders?

Thanks. We had one person using Outlook 2003 years ago, but that has since been replaced with Outlook 2010. I was able to remove the "Calendar" folder that appeared in the Public Folder Manager (took me a while to see the "Delete"
link) and was able to proceed. It does not appear that I have caused any problems.

Migration from 2003 - 2010, OAB errors on client, and OAB virtual directory does not contain any files.

Migration from 2003 - 2010, OAB errors on client, and OAB virtual directory does not contain any files.

Hi,
Please re-create the Outlook profile to have a try. If the issue persists, we can do the further checks in Exchange server.
Please make sure you have changed the OAB generation server to Exchange 2010 and enable Web distribution on the Exchange 2010 Client Access server:
Move-OfflineAddressBook "Default Offline Address List" -Server <MBX2010>
If all configurations are correct, please check whether there is any folder in the following path in Exchange sever 2010:
a. OAB generation in Mailbox:
\\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\ExchangeOAB
b. OAB distribution in Client Access:
\\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V14\ClientAccess\OAB

After Migrating from Sharpoint 2010 to Sharepoint 2013 list filter options changed

After migrating from SP 2010 to SP2013 i found list View filter option is changed and filter is not working Pls help its really urgent.... you can check field 1 and field 2 in following screen shot.

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that your list filter cannot work after Migrating from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013.
For your issue, please check your log files for any issues. Also you can refer to the blogs for troubleshooting SharePoint 2013 migration:
Firstly try running Test-SPContentDatabase on your source database for any issues -

OWA still lands at Exchange 2010 for users migrated from Exchange 2010 to 2013

I never had any issues with OWA redirection for a few users that I migrated from Exchange 2010-2013 initially. For users that I am migrating in the past few days, the OWA 2013 is landing on Exchange 2010 despite the mailbox being successfully migrated to
Exchange 2013.
Troubleshooting:
1. I have restarted the IIS Services
2. I have restarted MSExchangeOWAAppPool.
3. I have also checked the homeMDB attribute of the 2013 migrated user with the Exchange 2013 database.
I would really appreciate if anyone could share their experiences on similar issues.

I have checked it, the migration status is completed. In regard to the namespaces, both CAS 2010 and 2013 are set to mail.domain.com; CAS 2013 is the internet facing. I have also checked the internal access for OWA, it's the same scenario. Migrating them
back to 2010 and 2013 won't resolve the issue in my case, because the issue persists for every new user that I am migrating.
I recently found the following when I login with a user who is not effected and then logout:
1. Login in back with the affected user without closing the browser or clearing the cache, it lands at CAS 2013 OWA.
2. However, I get the below listed error message when I logout.
Your request couldn't be completed.

This may have occurred for security reasons or because your session timed out.

Separator page prints out with wrong name when printing from Outlook 2010

Working with Windows 7 Enterprise, Outlook 2010. We've set up our desk printers to print a separator page with the user's name, as several people use the same printers in our building. Printing from IE, Word, etc. all work fine, and it'll print
out the correct username on the separator page.
When anyone attempts to print an Outlook email, it instead prints out my username. We've found that it doesn't happen if they click on the "quick print" button, but it happens every time if they do "file > Print" or Ctrl+P.

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you that separator page prints out with wrong name when printing from Outlook 2010, please follow these steps: -
To create a custom separator page file, use a text editor such as
Notepad. On the very first line, type one single character, and then press
Enter. The character on this line defines the character used as an escape character. For example, the following list assumes that this character is the at sign (@).
Enter the escape codes for the functions you want, and then save the file with an .sep extension in the Windows System32 subfolder.
In the Print Manager, select the printer that you want to use the separator page file with, and then click
Choose Properties on the Printer menu.
Click
Details, specify the name of the desired separator page file in the
Separator File box, and then click OK.
Note:
Put the custom separator page file in one of the following locations:
In the %Windir%System32 folder.
In a folder whose path contains a SepFiles folder. For example:
Drive:\Folder\SepFiles\Subfolder
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

HT204350 Migrating from a 2010 MBP to a 2013 iMac - stuck halfway through???

I have begun migrating from a 2010 MBP to a 2013 iMac after installing mavericks on both. They are connected by ethernet. The MBP isn't updated to the latest version because it was installed from a previous copy from apple. The migration has started and is stuck on 1 hour19 mins, what should i do? is it safe to somehow stop the migration process? or is it best to leave it be for a few hours or something? i had a lot of trouble starting the process as i had to try multiple times to get it to locate all the files and folders on the MBP. Thanks for the help.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Leave it for some minutes to see if the migration process continues. If not, simply turn off both Macs, turn them on and transfer the files again.
If the migration gets stuck again, consider the option of making a Time Machine backup of your old MacBook Pro onto an external drive, and then use that backup to restore your files to the iMac. The steps to restore a backup from an external drive are the same.

Migration from HP ALM to TFS 2013

Hi All,
Right now we are using HP ALM (Version: 11.0 version) for test case management in our project. Our management want to move from HP ALM to TFS . Could you please guide me how to do this migration activity using "HP ALM Synchronizer".
Please share the steps to follow.
Appreciate your kind support.
Regards
Bhaskar

Hi Bhaskar,
HP ALM Synchronizer use open source conponents, and you can use it for the migration. If you want to use other tools, you can choose Opshub integration manaer, TFS integration platform etc.
With OpsHub integration manager, you can do bi-dirctional synchronization between HP ALM and TFS. Check this
page for more information.
For the migrtion from HP ALM to TFS, you can check the blog
Quality Centre to Team Foundation Server in one complex step. It introduces the tools that you can use and feature comparision.

Accidently removed a mailbox on the SBS 2008 server during the migration from SBS 2003

I accidently removed a legacy mailbox from the SBS 2008 server while still doing the migration from SBS 2003. I meant to click on the Move Mailbox like the instructions said but clicked on the Remove option, then clicked the 'X' to close the box since
I figured that would cancel what I did however it removed the mailbox from the SBS 2008 list.
Please tell me that I can get it back. It still shows up in the old SBS Exchange System Manager but now when an email is sent, it sends back a no delivery message. It's like the account doesn't exist any more.
Can it be recovered and if so, how?
thanks,
Jeff

User Name Upon Waking from Sleep

Hey guys,
We're given the choice of entering a password upon waking from sleep. I kinda want to take it one step further and have the user name erased too so that people have to enter the user name and the password upon the computer waking. Does anyone know how to do this or if it's even possible?
Thanks for any help.

The only way I can think of would be to log out rather than just put it to sleep or let it go to sleep. However, if you have a good secure password there really isn't too much reason to require the additional step.
There may be a way to do it but I can't think of one.
