Replacing a 32 bit primary server with a 64 bit

I have two zcm11 servers. Our first server is a 32 bit and the second is 64 bit.
The 32 bit server was our first server and the 64 bit was added later.
I would like to remove the 32 bit server and install a new ZCM server, preferably with sp3.
I'm not sure of the steps involved here or the best way to go.
Is this difficult? Can my second (ZCM2) take over and I just pull out zcm1?
Is this the way to go?

Just restoring the CERTS and DB is not really the proper way to recover,
though I do understand sometimes you must do what you must do.
The disaster recovery guide has steps that cover everything to backup
and restore. One key is that many config files exist that contain
paths. If you restore to a server that has installed ZCM to a different
path, there will be lots of cleanup that needs to be done in those files.
Since the Default Path is ProgramFile, which varies on 32bit and 64bit
boxes it gets tricky. If you had installed to a Non-Default path such
as D:\ZENworks, then it really would not matter on the 32bit vs 64bit.

I initially set up Sync on my desk top but want my Favorites of my laptop to be on the server and have not set up my laptop yet. How do I replace the data on the server with my laptop info?

I downloaded Firefox 4 on my desktop and setup Sync. I just recently downloaded Firefox 4 on my laptop and have not setup Sync yet on my laptop. I want the Favorites of my laptop to be the data on Sync and overwrite what is already on the server via my desktop. How do I make my laptop my main computer now? Also, once I setup Sync, does it allow me to download the Favorites to be permanent on my desktop or on my laptop if I reformat it at a later point?

Is your device recognized by your computer? If yes, copy the pictures and videos as shown in this article:
Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
If it is not recognized, try this first: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Disable autosync in iTunes, right click on it in the device list and choose "transfer purchases" to copy apps and other media bought in iTunes to your new library.
Do the same again and choose "backup", to create a manual backup without syncing.
Since your device will be erased due to the new iTunes library during the first sync, you can use this backup afterwards to restore your settings and data.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer before you start, to be able to merge calendars and contacts.

ZCM 11.2 new primary server - How do I

Hi,
We currently have a ZCM 11.2 install sitting on a Windows Server 2003 32bit. I have a new server running Windows 2008 64bit which I want to move the ZCM install to. I have looked at the various disaster recover scenarios as provided by novells documentation 11.2 disaster recovery reference but dont see in "replacing the primary server with a secondary server" a supported option of going from Windows server 2003 32bit to Windows server 2008 64bit.
I see this is supported in the replacing primary with a new server (eg same IP etc) but this is not the scenario I wish to follow.
Is my direction to simply install another copy of 11.2 as a secondary primary? on my 2008 64bit, go into existing management zone, follow the directions in the above reference doc in section 2.1.
I am wondering though with the secondary primary (2008 64bit) how do I go about moving the internal sybase from the old primary across to the new secondary. It has a reference to how to move the internal to and external sybase but I want the secondary primary (which will be the new primary) to have an internal sybase database like the old primary.
Any help appreciated.

Yes, that would Be ideal as it was / is my primary DSFW onsite & DNS. So the new ZCM Box would have a different name & IP.
My thought was bring up a Second Primary in the exiting ZONE. Get it functioning / updated. (That's been an issue as well, but that will be another thread). Look at doing a DB /Content migration to the new server and shutting down the ZCM services on the old...I am sure I am missing some stuff....
What other options do we have? I am all ears....I am assuming you / we can not do the "Import/Upgrade" routine to the OVA.

If so, you will need to rename and change the IP address of one of them.
We can think through different options.

Second primary server : something to do on the workstations?

Hi,
I have installed a second primary server in the zone, and this server has been moved up in the list of closest server default rules.
I am about to follow the "Replacing the First Primary Server with the Second Primary Server" procedure. The plan is to decommission the older server.
However I have a concern about the workstations. The agent on them has been installed from the first primary server, so is there something to do on the workstations so that they will stop connecting to the server from which the agent was installed?
Another point: both servers are using an external CA, so I guess I don't have to do the "Export the Certificate Authority role" part?
Thanks,
Marc Delisle

There is nothing you "have to do".
A "zac retr" could be useful, but hard to script.
In short, if a device ever stops talking to the zone because something
goes wrong, it will use the details in the "initial-web-service" file to
recontact the zone. The details in this file are for the server from
which the agent was installed.

Dear all:

Thanks ,,Most of these information are kept in the control file . You have to recreate your stand by control file after you added the new online redo logs. Transfer this to the standby server , with the the new online redo redo while you standby is down . Your standby system should be able to recognize it when it goes back to stand by mode.

I just purchased the Mac Mini Server with the intention of replacing Lion Server with Lion for the first hard drive while installing Windows 7 thru Bootcamp on the second hard drive. Is it possible for me to do this? Thanks.

I just purchased the Mac Mini Server with the intention of replacing Lion Server with Lion for the first hard drive while installing Windows 7 thru Bootcamp on the second hard drive. Is it possible for me to do this? Thanks.

I would use Parallels or VMWare and use the second drive to hold the virtual machine. That way the VM only uses the space that it needs and you can still use the remainder of the drive for other things, not to mention that you would not need to reboot to run windows.
Also Time Machine does not back up a boot camp partition.

Using icloud as primary incoming/outgoing mail server with Gmail

VZW CDMA/LTE IPhone 5-16gb
I won't provide my serial # unless certain digits have aNy bearing upon these issues.
I was wondering if anybody could help me configure my iPhone 5 to use the icloud mail server as the primary server for both my icloud account and my gmail account as well?
Is this possible to do or do I still need the gmail server as well?
I've read that the icloud server provides message encryption as well..?
Any help would be awesome. I just feel like with having 3 email accounts, it's sucking the power out of my phone and it also tends to get very
Hot at times under any kind of load (playing a racing game for over 20 mins, syncing device, etc)
Is this also not normal as well?
I just feel as if this phone should be much faster, especially handling processes, sync, even my wifi speeds suffer over a wifi connection between 20-30mbps DL and 12mbps upload. I've tried resets of network settings,,airplane on/off, renewing lease, closing programs etc.
Can someone please help, it's greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Chris A.

I got SMTP relay through Gmail working with the help of this little tutorial. Basically you just need to tweak the Postfix config files to leverage SSL.

Replace a 2003 (not R2) File Server with a 2012R2 files server and preferably keep the same machine name and IP when finished

I am wanting to replace a 2003 (not R2) File Server with a 2012R2 file server and preferably keep the same machine name and IP when finished. For the moment I just need some "high level" guidance, little details can be worked out once I know
which direction I will go. I was considering that DFS might be a way to help get through the process although when finished the 2012R2 Files server will be by itself with no other file server planned at this time. DFS can stay installed for maybe
future purposes but clearly I wouldn't need the DFS Replication with only one machine.
Here's a few details of the environment....
1. DC's are 2012R2 but it is still 2003 DFL because the old 2003 DCs are still present. But likely they will be gone and the DFL elevated before I start on the File Server project
2. Nearly all machines in the facility have a shortcut on the "All Users" Desktop that points to the existing old File Server. Editing or replacing that shortcut would be a major pain,...hence why I want to keep the same machine name at least,
and maybe the same IP if not too much trouble. This way the existing shortcut would continue to work with the new 2012R2 File Server. The UNC path represented in that shortcut is also configured into one or more of our major business applications,
futher emphasizing the need to keep the UNC path the same throughout the process.
3. The facility runs 24/7/365 but is "light" on weekends. The political environment is such that there is little to no tolerance for any down time at all.
4. Would DFS (based from the 2012R2 machine) be a good tool to get where I need to go?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Phillip Windell

Hi Sharon,
I've done some more reading and have a few new ideas to run past you....
Yes regular DFS wouldn't help and the Namespace would still be different than how it was with just the old server. However I was thinking DFS Replication could replace the purpose of RoboCopy and it would keep the two locations "in sync" until I was ready
to flip over to the new server. DFS Rep can exist independently of a DFS Namespace, so a Namespace is not even needed. It needs a minimum of 2003R2 for the "later & better" DFS Rep but I believe 2003 can do an "in place" upgrade to 2003R2, so I would upgrade
the old server to 2003R2 first. As long as the DFS Rep on 2012R2 and 2003R2 will properly interact I think that will work.
Thanks for the reg info on the Shares. I'm debating if editing that would reg file would really be much better than manually creating the Shares on the new server while the DFS Replication was doing its job. I'll probably export that Key as a
safety move whether I use it or not.
Once the DFS Rep is fully in sync and the Shares are in place on the new server, I figure I would then:
1. Remove the DFS Replication Object (optionally remove DFS Services completely)
2. Rename the old File Server to something else and set it to DHCP
3. Rename the new File Server to the name I want to use and give it the IP the old server had.
How does that sound?

Replacing a windows server with a Mac server

Hi all,
So this is a big company with about 150 employees using PC's (win xp and 7), considering replacing the current Windows server with a Mac server.
Is it possible to give users profiles once they log in like Windows server does? So when the user logs in they get to their own personal stuff? Can Mac server do that?
Can the user also get to the default printer and send prints to it regardless where they log in from inside the company?
And can the home directory to each user NOT be copied anywhere on the local machine where they log in? Meaning that after they log out there will be no traces to their files on that local PC..
Thanks a lot in advance!!

By some standards, 150 is not "big" but a large small business :-)
Regardless, please plan and test and plan some more, very carefully !
The picture for what you want to do once looked far better with 10.6 server but that had its limitations as well.
With 10.6 server, Apple was using Samba - they are no longer doing so,
but/and the version of Samba they were using only provided NT-Domain level support.
So that would not work with your Win 7 stations either. But could be made to work relatively well with XP workstations. You can no longer buy any new Mac that runs 10.6 server and 10.6 server would be hard to obtain.
Not a great route to go.
Bear in mind that the key problem with Apple's Samba was that Samba changed their licensing,
and there's not a thing in the world Apple could do to implement a current version of Samba without violating their own operating principles and the licensing requirements.
You'll be heading into heavily uncharted territory here. Odds are good that any desired domain-functionality is not going to work for you.
Honestly, Apple appears to have thrown in the towel on directory-level support for Windows,
and the best way to support Windows workstations in that regard is with Windows server and AD.
Basic filesharing works, with some caveats.
If there's no AD involved at all, then have a look at my earlier post,
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3206725?start=47
Which worked a-ok for me but your mileage may vary.
Samba new current versions and GPL3 licensing issue:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3206725?start=75&tstart=0
"GPLv3 makes it impossible to provide signed binaries without also providing the signing keys. A few seconds of thought will reveal why Apple is unwilling to provide copies of the keys they use to sign system software. Part of locking down OS X security profile required removing anythign that used GPLv3.
Short version: GPLv3 is specifially desinged to be anti-company, and you are going to see a ever widening schism in the FSS/OSS community between GPL and all the other licenses, and you will be seeing less and less GPL code in commercial OSes and more BSD/Apache/&c code."

How to migrate an existing Microsoft SSIS deployment if it is decided to replace SQL Server with an Oracle database?

Hi Oracle Gurus!
Currently, I am designing an ETL solution that transforms and loads a lot of data from flat files and sends it to an SQL Server 2008 R2 database for storage. However, at a future point of time, it may be decided to add or even replace SQL Server with an Oracle 11g database.
Currently, I am writing script transforms in C# to dynamically generate SSIS packages to tansform and load the data into SQL Server. But considering that in future, an Oracle 11g or 12c database might be added to, or replace the SQL Server database, how do I make my script transforms (or whatever else I am developing currently for SQL Server) reusable to the extent possible?
Or more precisely, what steps do I take, from an Oracle point of view, to ensure that any future migration of data to an Oracle database would be smooth to the extent possible?
Looking up to my Oracle Gurus for enlightenment in this matter!
Novice Kid

When you're writing your on C# code to load data into the SQL Server you have to modify the routines so that they will work with Oracle.
One approach is to use the extproc agent which would allow you to directly call external programs with all the logic in it to perform the load of your files and to put the data into the Oracle database. Another option would be to use utl_file package (or equivalents) which will allow you to open external files from your Oracle database and to directly read its content and then to pass it to the related tables.

DMZ Ports to Communicate with SCCM Primary Server

Hello,
I have searched and came to know that on firewall, following ports should be open for DMZ to communicate with SCCM primary server
HTTP 80 and 443
8530
TCP 10123
TCP 135TCP 445
We are planning to implement a software on DMZ server which should communicate with SCCM primary server.
Do the above ports work for communication from DMZ to Primary or if there are more ports required for it?
Is it possible to achieve this without the SCCM client installed on the DMZ server as i would like the software to communicate via its own methods but the required ports should be open.

Could you please provide the WMI and SQL ports which would be required.
If we talk about generically, Are below ports enough for a DMZ server to communicate with the primary site server ?
HTTP 80 and 443
8530
TCP 10123

Replace KMS server with same-named server

I need to replace my KMS server (win2008r2) with a new server (win2012r2), but with the original server’s name.
This is my plan:
      Shutdown the current KMS server and remove it from AD, WINS & DNS
      Rename the new server with the old server’s name
      I have already added the VAMT role to the win2k12 server, but not configured it
Install our KMS VL & run the office 2013 volume license pack on the new server
Does anyone see any problems with this plan?
Do I need to uninstall the KMS key from the original server first?
What kinds of issues will the users see before the 25 client activations happen?
Thanks!

This is fine.
KMS is resolved via a DNS Service record: _vlmcs._tcp.<domainname>
Whenever you are finished installing KMS on the new server, ensure the SRV record is correct.
NOTE: Remember the new KMS server will not start to activate clients until the thresholds are met. (5 servers or 25 clients)

CAS server deployment -- Additional Primary server deployment with same site code

Hi,
I have an primary site server deployed at one of the location on windows server 2008 R2 with SCCM 2012 R2.
I need to have an additional primary server at same site with OS of windows server 2012 R2 with SCCM 2012 R2.
I would need help in how to achieve this.
If I deploy this will my all endpoints will get an information of new Primary server at same site.
Regards,
Deepak Sharma

To add-on, based on the title of the post, do I understand it correctly that you want to deploy that second primary site in the same hierarchy with the same site code as an existing primary site? If so, that's a huge no-go. Never use the same site code
twice in the same hierarchy...

64 bis DB server with 32 bit central instance

HI,
i ve got a question concerning the hardware configuration of a SAP-landscape. Is it possible to run a standalone dbserver with 64 bit and a central instance (sap application server) with a 32bit machine. I mean does it work, that the data from application server is transferred to the db-server in this constellation ?

Hi Marek,
This is supported once http://service.sap.com/pam lists the combination of DB/OS and SAP kernel for the instances.
It is always important to bring the 32bit and 64bit Kernel to the same (or almost the same) kernel patch after the installation - otherwise the instance(s) might not start. You should restart the system also when updating the kernel for one platform.
Regards, Mark

Replace clip on primary storyline with connected clip?

Hi!
Is it possible to replace a clip on the primary storyline with a connected clip?
A possible scenario where this would be useful is if you want your recorded voiceover on the primary storyline. If you have a blank clip where the voiceover goes and put the b-roll on a secondary storyline connected to the blank clip, it would be easy to just drag the recorded voiceover on to the blank clip to replace it.
Any idea if this works? I think I have tried dragging with all the modifiers...
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply.
One scenario I often have is that I work in parallel with the reporter writing the voiceover. I usually put down the b-roll while he writes it to save time. Thats why I would leave a gap for the VO.
I could always leave the b-roll on the primary storyline and have the VO connected, but to me it makes sense to use the primary storyline for voiceover and sync to take advantage of the magnetic timeline.
Overwrite to Primary Storyline doesn't really work for this since it overwrites instead of replace, so if the VO is longer than the empty clip you end up overwriting your next clip too.
