SAP Server upgrade from Windows 2003 and 2008 R2 with Oracle Database

Hi,
We need to upgrade upgrade our Windows servers that are running our SAP systems from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2. We are using Microsoft Clustering for HA so an inplace upgrade seems not possible.
Someone has suggested to us that we will need to export our database and reimport it to achieve this upgrade however but I cannot understand why this would be necessary (we are not changing the underlying filesystem!).
Could someone please confirm whether a database export and import is required for this OS upgrade scenario? I have done a bit of research but nothing has jumped out and now I need an answer to this quickly.
We are running
- ERP 6.0 NW 7.01 (soon to be 7.02 with ABAP stack only)
- XI(PI) Java & ABAP
- SRM (Java & ABAP)
- Portal (Java only)
- PLM (Java & ABAP)
- BW (BI 7.0) (Java and ABAP)
Thank You
Felicity

Hello,
You need to go for 'Homogeneous System Copy' to achieve this, but since almost all the systems in your landscape include the Java Stack as well - so the system copy with Export/Import is to be carried out.
Even if you are not going for file system change, but it is a Windows environment and you can't put SAP up on the target Windows (windows 2008 R2) just by copying the contents and file system from source to target. You need SAPinst to create the registry and all. - On top of that you have Java stacks involved, so for java stack you can't carry out just backup/restore method to put SAP up there on target - so you need Export/import because for java stack some OS level dump is to be collected during system copy from source and it needs to be imported on target OS.
Are you clear on this one ?
Read system copy guide once and Search in OSS for the Notes to check how to upgrade from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2.
Thanks

Inplace and side by side upgrade from windows 2003 64 bit R2 contains SSRS 2008 R2 to windows 2008 64 bit R2

Hello All,
   Case 1 -In place upgrade
   I would like to do in place upgrade from windows 2003 64 bit R2 that contains SSRS 2008 to windows 2008 R2 64 bit. The upgrade would be happened at OS level not at SSRS level.
   I would like to know what are the necessary steps should be taken prior/during/post upgrade from SSRS end as we can not rollback if there is some issue with in place upgrade.
Case 2-Side by side upgrade
I would like to do side by side migration from windows 2003 32 bit that contains SSRS 2008 to windows 2008 R2 64 bit. The side by side would be happened at both OS level and SSRS level.
  I would like to know what are the necessary steps should be taken prior/during/post side by side migration from SSRS end.

Before doing anything Take backups .
In case of reporting services..
Back up your symmetric key. For more information.
Back up your report server databases and configuration files. For more information.
Back up any customizations to existing Reporting Services virtual directories in IIS.

Remote desktop connection limit in windows 2003 administration as well as in the mixed environment of windows 2003 and 2008 servers

RDP protocol i.e. Remote desktop connection is configured to perfrom and manage software administration of ORACLE application and database servers which runs on windows 2003 server. Two sessions are allowed on each of these servers for database
administrators. The question is:
a) if network administrators who perform window server administration (50+) are included in
2 sessions limit or do they manage all these servers through Console Session which is separate from the remote desktop connection limits of 2 sessions.
b) How is the 2 sessions limit prescribed by microsoft (more of a licensing limit) handled in the mix environment of windows 2003 and 2008 server where all these servers are managed on the VMWARE?
avnish sharma

Hi Avnish,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
By default any windows server will provide 2 remote session for administration purpose only. No matter which administrator is accessing that server. If you will connect the console session then 3.One server is accessed by 3 Session (console + Remote +
Remote). When the particular server reached this limit then any working administrator will receive a message to log out as other user trying to access the session or if we had provided the setting then new user is restricted to login.
If you want more than 2 remote desktop session than you need to purchase TS\RDS CAL, install TS\RD Licensing role, activate it first and then configure CAL on it. There are 2 types of CAL available (USER & DEVICE). You can purchase CAL according to your
company requirements.
Hope it helps to understand!
Thanks.

Upgrade Multiple servers from windows 2003 to 2008

Hi All,
How could i upgrade all my servers (1000 around) from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2 without loosing system settings, profiles and applications.
Your speedy reply is highly appreciated.

Since Windows Server 2008 R2 only supports 64-bit the first thing to check is that all of your 2003 boxes are running 64-bit Windows. If they are then an in-place upgrade is possible, but if they're running 32-bit Windows then there is no way to directly
upgrade them. Your only option with 32-bit Windows 2003 is to either upgrade to 2008 (which does support 32-bit), or migrate everything to a new server.
Other than that, the question then becomes what are those servers running. If they're running Microsoft services then it should be fairly straight forward, but if they're running 3rd party services then you need to check with the 3rd party company whether
their software (or more specifically the version of their software you currently have installed) supports 2008 R2.
For the Windows services there are some differences, but I believe the upgrade process handles the transition for you for the most part. Have a look at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff972408(v=ws.10).aspx which details the process, and goes into the changes for each of the main Windows Server roles, and those things
you need to be aware of. As mentioned in that article, when you start the upgrade process you're offered a link to a compatibility report which will tell you if there's anything on the server which will break or cause issues with the upgrade. View that report
and review what it tells you before you start the upgrade. You may find that some tools, addons etc need to be uninstalled or upgraded before you can start the actual upgrade, but if the report gives you the green light you should be fine to continue without
any issues.
Finally, from the wording of your question I'm guessing you're wondering about getting the servers upgraded at the same time? Personally I'm not aware of any way to do that, but even if one did exist I wouldn't do it. There's too much of a chance that something
will go wrong, probably in some small minor way, but if you've just tried to upgrade all the servers at the same time, when you get reports telling you that something is no longer working you'll have a much harder time working out what caused it than if you
know that only servers a, b and c have been upgraded today, so the issue is likely to be with one of those.

New 2012 server in a mixed 2003 and 2008 domain (in process of upgrading)

We are replacing a Windows Server 2003 machine which crashed and is gone, with a Windows Server 2012 Standard machine. The old 2003 Server was a domain controller running along side one other 2003 server (which is getting replaced next) and
3 Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard x64 domain controllers which up and running. When trying to add the Windows Server 2012 Standard server as a domain controller to an existing domain, we are getting the following error:
Verification of replica failed. The forest functional level is Windows 2000. To install a Windows Server 2012 domain or domain controller, the forest functional level must be at Windows Server 2003 or higher.
However, the domain was already brought up to at least the 2003 level when we added the current live 2008 domain controller (Windows Server 2008) several years ago. When I now try to run Adprep on the Windows Server 2008 (adprep from the 2008
install CD) I get the following responses:
Command: adprep /forestprep
Response: Forest-wide information has already been updated. [Status/Consequence] Adprep did not attempt to rerun this operation.
Command: adprep /domainprep /gpprep
Response: Domain-wide information has already been updated. [Status/Consequence] Adprep did not attempt to rerun this operation.
I have gone to Active Directory Domains and Trusts on all of the other servers and each one is at a Windows Server 2003 Functional level and states that I can not raise the level because I have AD Dc's that are not running the appropriate version of
windows. And I get that due to the remaining 2003 server, but none are at Server 2000 level.
So it seems we have a conflict where the 2012 server thinks the domain is at the Windows 2000 level. Is there any way around this, or a way to find out where the conflict is coming from?
Thank you
Kevin C

Please proceed like the following:
Run netdom query fsmo to identify the current FSMO holders. It seems that the old DC was holding FSMO roles. If this is the case then seize them to another DC: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/255504
Do a metadata cleanup to remove the old DC reference: Use dsa.msc
and then remove the old DC computer account. Also, use dssite.msc
and remove the NTDS settings of the old DC then remove its references over there
After doing this, check again and try to raise the DFL and FFL. Do not forget to check that your DCs and AD replication are in healthy state using
dcdiag and repadmin commands.

Migrate WSUS from Windows 2003 to 2008 R2

We have a single WSUS server on a single Server 2003 box using a remote SQL server. I just moved the DB from SQL 2005 (32 bit) too 2008 (64 bit) with no problems. I'd now like to upgrade the WSUS server to 2008 R2 going from 32 bit to 64 bit and am wondering if there is an easier way that what I've read in technet.

Upgrading from outlook 2003 and 2007 to office 365 small business outlook

We just bought office 365 small business thinking I can easily set up outlook as we did in outlook 2007.
That is creating an account using POP3 and SMTP for every individual.
I just started watching a video of how to set up the out look in office 365 and it does not make any sense to add all 30 mail boxes set up in Network solutions and work around our domain names and all sort of unnecessary complicated step to use this on line
office.
Can we just set it up the way we did in outlook 2007 without having to deal with all parties involved?
Regards;

Hi,
I suppose you used Office Customization Tool (OCT) to create the POP3 accounts for the users? With OCT it's quite easy with .prf as I can tell. However, in Office 365 we don't have OCT so that's probably why you don't know how to create the
accounts for users.
Due to the lack of related resource here, I actually suggest you post the question in Office 365 Community, where this question can be properly addressed:

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.

OS Migrations from Winwows 2003 to 2008 Server

Hello Experts,
I wanted to know if we can Migrate our OS From windows 2003 to Windows 2008 without System copy/Database Refresh.
Here is what we have currently installed in Windows 2003 Server
OS: Windows 2003 Server
SID: ECP
Database Oracle: 10g
SAP: ECC 6.0
Cluster: MSCS
SAN: NetApp Storage, with Snapshot from snapdrive technology
Local Drive:
C - Windows 2003 Related files
D - SAP and Oracle Executable files
Shared Drive:
E Drives - Where SAP DATAFILE resides (sapdata1...n)
F Drives - Oracle logs (mirrorlogs, origilog, sapbackup, oraarch, etc..)
S Drives - Message Server relelated files including Kernel/Global/Profile Directories
Here is our plan to migrate to windows 2008 server.
While ECC - Production running, we decided to build SAP on 2 different separate hardware with same specs, on Windows 2008 with MSCS. Then install the fresh NetWeaver/ECC system with SAME SID and build the initial Microsoft clustering for Oracle and SAP like as we did on the windows 2003 Server. Make it looks like Windows 2003 ECP except the OS from SAP and Oracle perspective.
Here is the plan.
Since it is the
- same System ID (SID)
- E, F drives are shared
With NetApp Snapdrive technology, we have an options, disconnect the E and F drive, and connect the drives on the Windows 2008 R1 New Server.
We will also copy the all the Global directory files from old server (Windows 2003) to Windows 2008 (Joblog, spool logs, etc)
Question 1:
Now my question would be, is his will be an good practice option to migrate our OS from 2003 to 2008 windows knowing the technology in hands?
Question 2:
When we install a Fresh SAP system using SAPinst, do SAP Sapinst place any Windows related settings/config automatically into the database?
Question 3:
am I missing any other key facts?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks In Advance
Kumar

You can do that approach but keep in mind that
- you need to install Oracle 10.2.0.4 directly using a different DVD (Note 1303262 - Oracle on Windows Server 2008). If the source system is still on 10.2.0.2 the procedure is not going to work
- after you switch the disks from old to new all permissions and windows ACLs are gone. Windows stores ACLs as GUIDs, not as names so you will need to replace the old with new ones on the disks you present to the new server. This is also true for other files (joblogs etc.)
- the SAP kernel uses OPS$ to connect to the database, I'd delete and recreate the user after the database is mounted and open.

Hi,
If currently you are using a Windows Server 2003 as a DC, and you are going to add a new Windows Server 2008 or 2012 to your environment, you will need to demote it first - if CA is installed on that 2003 DC, you will need to uninstall it for demotion.

Problems Migrating from VS 2003 and CR 2008 to VS 2008

I am in process of upgrading from VS 2003 to VS 2008. At same time u2013 moving from Windows Xp to Windows 7. I was using CR 2008 on the XP and also installed it on Win 7. Now seems I have no support or SDK for VS 2008. Even if I add a new Cr object u2013 the screen us blank.
Any and all assistance would be greatly appreciated.
What do I need to do to get this to work u2013 and be able to safely distribute the resulting project?
Would upgrading to SAP CR 2011 work coupled with downloading the SDK for VS 2010? Or Reinstalling VS 2008?
Thank you
JimH

Hi Jim,
CR for VS 2010 will not work in VS 2008 and CR 2011 does not have an SDK install.
If you have Installed CR 2008 before VS 2008 it won't be integrated into VS. Do a repair install of VS 2008 and that should fix VS, assuming CR 2008 is installed and it's not a CR 2008 Basic, must be higher to get the SDK to install and work. Go into Add/Remove Programs and select CR 2008 and change, use the Custom Option and you should see the option to add .NET. Sorry I don't recall the exact wordage, it's been a while since I installed it.
And be sure to get the latest Service Packs for VS and CR 2008 SP 4. You can get them form the [download page|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap%28bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==%29/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm]
Then check your references, they should be 12.x.x.xxxx and remove the 9.x from your project first if they are there still also. VS usually asks if you want to upgrade so I suspect a repair on CR and then possibly a repair in VS 2008 should fix the problem.
Download page also has the Redist Packages to deploy your app and CR runtime also.

Restore Exchange 2007 SP3 to Windows 2008 R2 from Windows 2003

Perhaps I'm being dense, but I had Exchange 2007 SP3 installed on a Windows 2003 Server, and I've used "setup /mode:recoverserver" to restore it to a Windows 2008 R2 server... how do I restore the databases which I backed up with the Windows backup tool
on 2003?
I installed KB974674, the restore tool onto the 2008 R2 server but when I try and restore the backup it comes up with "this feature is no longer supported". Something I'm missing here?

These things marked as answers are not answers.
I have now thoroughly tested using setup /mode:recoverserver and it works fine going from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2 with Exchange 2007 SP3, done several installations now without a problem.
"Setup /m:RecoverServer cannot be used across operating systems. A server that was originally running Windows Server 2003 can be recovered only on Windows Server 2003, and a server that was originally running Windows Server 2008 can
be recovered only on Windows Server 2008."
This appears to be wrong, unless someone can tell me why it's right (I haven't tried moving Unified Messaging yet). I've done it to 2008 R2 several times now and also in the other direction, from 2008 R2 to 2003, I can't find anything that didn't work
afterward, although I haven't really thoroughly tested OWA yet, I admit (but it does appear to be working).
I think that documentation is out-of-date as it doesn't mention R2 plus I think it was written before SP3 came out and that paragraph is just wrong.
Basically how I do it is like this:
Dismount databases from the 2003 server and copy the storage group folders to a network location or removable media.
Install the Windows 2008 R2 server using the same machine account that was being used by the 2003 server. Install the prerequisites needed for Exchange 2007 SP3 installation on 2008 R2 (note in addition to the IIS components and RPC over HTTP this
also requires the AD tools in RSAT, which I haven't found mentioned in technical documentation). Install the relevant windows updates.
Install Exchange 2007 SP3 using setup /mode:recoverserver Install the update rollup.
Copy the storage groups into the relevant folders on the new server and mount them. Migrate any relevant certificates (e.g. for ActiveSync).
Obviously then check it all over with the diagnostic tools and check it with EXBPA. The backups are obviously totally different, but really I think you should be using DPM anyway.
To me that was pretty easy to do, to be honest. About 1.5 on a scale of one to ten. Basically install it, recover it, copy over some files and mount them.
Seriously on a halfway decent server I've done it in under an hour.

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!

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.
