Shortcut to new server volume mounts old server

I have recently transferred all files from a Windows NT Server and a Windows 2000 Server to an OSX Tiger Server. I duplicated the files to the new server using Retrospect but have left copies on the old server in case anything was missed.
On my four OSX Panther G4s, I have mounted the new server and created shortcuts (aliases) to the new volumes. Three of them work fine. On the fourth G4, however, the aliases to the new server mount the volumes on the old server! I have deleted all the aliases and recreated them to no avail. I have deleted the aliases to the old server entirely and all is well until it becomes necessary to mount the old server. Even if the old server is mounted manually, the next time the aliases to the new server are used, they will mount the old server.
All four G4s access the servers via AFP because we still have OS9 workstations which need to access the same files.
Any suggestions?

Hi There!!!!
In Exchange 2010, clients do not connect directly to the mailbox role, they go through the
CAS role, so it sounds like you need to set the RPCClientAccessServer to point to the new Exchange 2010 server.
Do this via PowerShell :
GET-MAILBOXDATA | SET-MAILBOXDATABASE -RPCCLIENTACCESSSERVER <FQDN OF NEW CAS SERVER>
But as you have 160 mailboxes to migrate , which would be quite time consuming and needs lots
of efforts, so rather than opting manual way for migration I would refer you to do this using any professional Migration Software like Stellar Mailbox Extractor for Exchange Server, which can perform the Migration of 160 mailboxes in quick time.

Want to access RFC in new server instead of old server

we got a request to move RFC function module from P12 to other system, now the RFC is moved and need to understand what should be done to access new system RFC instead of old RFC.
Thanks & Regards
Ramkumar Amgoth

Hello Ramkumar,
For this first you need to create a RFC destination (Say RFC_NEW_SYSTEM) to the new system in SM59. after that while calling the function module you need mention the destination as the new system like below
CALL FUNCTION '<FUNCTION MODULE NAME>' DESTINATION 'RFC_NEW_SYSTEM'

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.

BACKUP FROM OLD SERVER & RESTORE TO NEW SERVER

Hi ,
i have install SAP on New Server (ADM X86) , it has good hardware. that why i want to shiftout from old deveopment Server to new Server . From old server i want to take backup through DB13 and restore through Brtools on new server. backup will be on disk.
please guide me which type of backup should be taken ?
and what is difft b/t whole backup and full backup ?

Hi Imran,
In you have a full backup, using this existing backup further you can take incremental backups. The incremental backup is based on the previous full backup. The full and incremental backups is controlled by RMAN (Recovery manager).
You can take a full backup and restore the same in your new server and later take an incremental backup from your old server and restore it to the new server for all the delta changes made. By this you can make sure that your production data is made consistent in the new server.
If you have sufficient dowtime then, you can take a whole DB backup with redo log files and restore them in your new server.
There is no difference between whole backup and full backup, with respect to the database data.

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)

Mounting Server Volumes Via Startup Items

I'm going crazy here trying to figure out what's going on with my wireless AirPort network!!!
While trying to set up the first G4 iBook (10.4.2) from an Apple wireless cart I've discovered that I can't get a server volume to automatically mount at startup. I'm connecting to an AirPort Extreme base station. The iBook has no problem detecting and connecting to the base station and allowing an Internet connection and you can manually connect to a file server. But if I add a server volume to the Startup Items I can't get it to mount the volume at startup.
Here's some stuff I've done to try to isolate the problem but nothing seems to point to a solution:
- If I connect via Ethernet, it works everytime - so the issue is definately AirPort related.
- Since I have 3 other independent AirPort networks (Extreme & Dual Ethernet) I tried connecting to them - no help.
- After startup is finished I can connect manually (Go/Connect to Server).
- Here's a real stumper... If I log out (not a reboot) & log back in - the volumes mount!!!
- Up until now I had my personal eMac (10.3.9) connecting and mounting the same volumes via one of my previously mentioned AirPort networks with no problems. In trying to solve this problem I cleared out my Startup Items, Keychains, etc. - now I can't get it to work either.
- I tried setting a new user in case it was some fouled up user setting - no help.
- I've cleared out and set up Keychains & Startup Items numerous times - no help.
- I disabled security - no help.
So in my opinion I've ruled out the following by process of elimination:
- System hardware - problem exists with eMac & iBook
- OS - problem exists with 10.3.9 & 10.4.2
- Base station - problem exists across differing base stations (Extreme & Dual Ethernet) & differing networks
- Users - problem exists with new user
- Security - problem exists with security disabled
Here's the one thing that seems evident....
The connection to any Airport network takes a momentary delay during startup - enough to cause to Startup Items (server volumes) not to mount. Since I can connect to the server manually shows that the AirPort connection is good. Logging out & then back in uses an AirPort connection that is already established and then will mount the Startup Items (server volumes).
I've seen some Internet posts that suggest using scripts to somehow delay certain Startup Items from executing until an AirPort connection is established - I would rather avoid that mess. There's got to be a better solution! This seems to me like a very basic function that shouldn't take scripts or other such voodoo!
I'm all out of ideas.....
Dave

Hi Dave,
I recently had the same problem. I think a recent update messed up the way I was using applescript to mount drives. I would get messages while the script ran that would indicate things timing out while looking for drives. After reading through a lot of forums I found that this script worked for me:
tell application "Finder"
mount volume "afp://user:[email protected]/VolumeName"
end tell
This is for mounting a Mac server volume. I think you use smb:// for a win server.
Let me know if this works for you.

Volume mounting, but missing from Server app

After reconfiguring my MDC (which had something screwed up in OD), I'm having an issue with my Xsan volume listing in Server app. It shows that Xsan is up and running, but the volumes window is blank. I was able to successfully add a backup MDC and they both are able to find each other without issue, however neither the MDC or backup MDC show the volume in the window. They do, however, both mount the volume without issue.
There is one issue, that I know of, that I'm pretty sure this is causing an issue for. Whenever I add the profile to a new client machine the volume does not mount without forcing a mount using "xsanctl mount Media". Once mounted, there are no problems that I can tell, however I haven't used it with this issue long enough to tell. Essentially it seems like it can find the volume, it just doesn't know that it's available without telling it to look for it. I've searched for a long time to try to find a config file that may control this behavior, but I can't identify anything yet. If anyone knows what file controls the display of the volumes or how to fix this issue I would appreciate the help. Also, I already have 25TB on this volume so destroying/recreating it is not really an option I would like to explore.

It would seem that the Xsan configuration stored in LDAP does not include your volume. You could try these steps to resync the configuration files stored in /Library/Preferences/Xsan and the configuration in LDAP:
Important: Make a backup copy of the /Library/Preferences/Xsan directory on each MDC.
If I'm right about LDAP not including your volume, the secondary won't have any .cfgp file in its /Library/Preferences/Xsan directory--unless you put it there.
Remove the secondary MDC from the SAN.
On the primary MDC:
Check that your volume name appears in /Library/Preferences/Xsan/fsmlist. See the fsmlist(4) man page for details. You will have to use the full path to that man page, e.g. "man /System/Library/Filesystems/acfs.fs/Contents/man/man4/fsmlist.4".
Update the LDAP configuration with: "sudo xsanctl pushConfigUpdate". See the xsanctl(8) man page for more information. ("man xsanctl")
Your existing volumes should reappear in Server app when you do this. You may need to do command-R to refresh the view. If you don't see your volume, review the output of "xsanctl pushConfigUpdate" to see if it explains what failed.
Add the secondary MDC back to the SAN.
Assuming pushConfigUpdate worked, the secondary MDC should automatically mount your volume when you add it. The same should happen for any additional clients you add to the SAN.

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.

I switched email servers and when I synced to the new server, all my old emails erased... HELP

I previously had 1&1.com hosting my email addresses ([email protected] & [email protected]) and I recently switched to Weebly/Gmail to host these email addresses...
I enabled IMAP forwarding in gmail (which in hinesight I think I should have selected POP) and when I updated my server settings in Thunderbird - all of my old emails disappeared. Theses emails are for business and I may have dramatically hurt our business by doing this.
Are emails backed up anywhere where I can restore from? I do have the option selected to store all emails on my local computer - please help :)

With IMAP all mail is managed on the server. By simply changing the server of an existing account you virtually start from scratch. I.e. the new server knows nothing about the mail on the old server.<br>
What you see in Thunderbird is basically a mirror of what's on the server.
What you should have done is moving messages off of the old server to your Local Folders account.<br>
Alternatively you could have created a new account with the same email address on the new server.
The Thunderbird IMAP synchronization option basically is a local offline copy of what's on the server. The offline copy got wiped out when you connected to the new server. It isn't an equivalent for a proper backup of your messages.
I don't know if you still have access to the old server. If not, then you can only restore a backup of your profile folder, assuming you've created one at some point.
It is grossly negligent not to backup your business email.

Moved report server to new machine with all old settings

Dear all,
I am going to moved to new server machine for SSRS and i have 200+ reports ,,
i have configure report server in new machine but reports configuration pending
i thought i would need help of others to do this because i have a quetion? that
How can moved my 200 reports to new machine with all configurations includes 40 subscriptions , and much more

Help me please ??
Dilip Patil..

Hi Dilip,
After testing the issue in my environment, we can try to use the RS.exe utility to execute a Reporting Services RSS script that copies content items and settings from one SQL Server Reporting Services report server to another report server.
To achieve this goal, please refer to the following steps:
using the RS.exe utility Download the script file from the CodePlex site
Reporting Services RS.exe script migrates content to a local folder, for example c:\rss\ssrs_migration.rss.
Open a command prompt with administrative privileges.
Navigate to the folder containing the ssrs_migration.rss file.
Run the following command to migrate contents from the native mode Sourceserver to the native mode Targetserver:
rs.exe -i ssrs_migration.rss -e Mgmt2010 -s
http://SourceServer/ReportServer -u Domain\User -p password -v ts="http://TargetServer/reportserver" -v tu="Domain\Userser" -v tp="password"
Besides, if the destination report server is SharePoint mode, we can also try to use Reporting Services Migration Tool to achieve your requirement. For more details, please see:

If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Does PS care if a server volume is mounted?

Unusual situation hoping for some explanation, or even any crazy idea. At my office we have many servers that we need to have mounted to work. One of them is our "images" server, which has 100,000s of image in folders, and its over 500gb in size. Using PS CS2 or CS3, if I have this server mounted, opening an image is *very* slow. Even opening an image from my desktop/hard drive takes a long time and I can get the beachball. If I unmount this server, the images on my hard drive open up 3-10 times faster. I can easily replicate the behavior, over several days and restarts.
Watching the network activity when I have the "images" server mounted I can see a lot of activity when I open an image, either from the network or on my hard drive. Usually I am double clicking on the file in the Finder.
I can't fathom why this would be!? Why would PS care if any server is mounted, and what might it be looking for when opening an image? Any suggestions?
ps, no I don't have Photoshop prefs set to use the server as a scratch disk or have plug ins on it; we don't use bridge. PowerMac G5 w/3gb ram, 160gb drive w/100gb free space, OS X 10.48. Onyx utilities run, computer restarted.

>The more mounted sharepoints, the longer it takes to open the file. The issue occurs whether the file being opened is on one of the network volumes or on the local volume.
I'm not a network guru, but maybe there are far more calls to the mounted volumes than there should be. That would slow down the server proportional to the number of workstations mounted. While you would certainly have noticeably slower response if there are simultaneous requests for large images from the mounted workstations, at other times this shouldn't be an issue.
I would still get your IT guy/gal involved to troubleshoot. But maybe it isn't even the server. It could be a misconfiguration of the Linksys device, or even the inadvertent use of a straight-through (standard) Cat 5/5e/6 cable when a crossover cable is required, or vice versa. Or maybe the use of a Cat 5 cable when you should be using a higher throughput one.

Problem in script mounting volume on VPN-server

Hi,
I try to set up the app Chronosync to make a regular backup on a disc volume that is at the University.
Chronosync can be told to backup at certain times, but the folder/volume needs to be mounted.
Chronosync can start an applescript to do this automated.
I made a script that opens the VPN, but I fail to get it to mount the specific volume on the server.
This is what I have so far:
tell application "System Events"
          tell current location of network preferences
                    set VPNservice to service "***" --replace asterix by name of VPN-server
                    set isConnected to connected of current configuration of VPNservice
                    tell application "System Events" to tell process VPNservice to activate
                    if not isConnected then
connect VPNservice
                              delay 1
                              tell application "System Events" to tell process VPNservice to keystroke "******" --replace asterix by password
                              tell application "System Events" to tell process VPNservice to keystroke return
                    end if
          end tell
end tell
This opens the vpn connection, and from there it should be just mounting the personal volume on the university's server.
Actually it looks fairly simple to do: Finder > Go > connect to server > click smb://***** and off you are.
But I just don't get this last piece working.
Help is very welcome!

I managed to get a step further and have the script working - that is to say in Applescript. But when I start the script in Chronosync it will not perform the second action, mounting the volume.
Why would that be??
tell application "System Events"
          tell current location of network preferences
                    set VPNservice to service "VPN***"
                    set isConnected to connected of current configuration of VPNservice
                    tell application "System Events" to tell process VPNservice to activate
                    if not isConnected then
connect VPNservice
                              delay 1
                              tell application "System Events" to tell process VPNservice to keystroke "--password"
                              tell application "System Events" to tell process VPNservice to keystroke return
                    end if
          end tell
end tell
delay 4
tell application "Finder" to open location "smb://username:password@servername/username"

Move data from old server to new one.

Hi.
As of now we have been using LCES 8.0 on old server. This old one had Oracle, WebSphere and LCES 8.0. Now we have a plan to establish new 3 servers. This mean we can establish web server, application server and Oracle server and will dispose of the old server. I want to know what data must be moved to new server except for web server one to take over the old server's environment. Oracle export data that LCES user on oracle created is necessary Is it the enough? If no, could you tell me the information about the data?
Best Regards.

Today I checked the above condition.
The nessary files are Database and LCES temporary folder where I set on installation.
Best Regards.

Migration of old server to new server...how??

Hi all...
I am here to discuss about some information to how migrate a server from old machine to a new server??
can someone provide some good links??

Currently server is sql 2005 and in new server also i want the same .

hi
Refer this kb article for moving databases from one server to another server
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/314546
There are 4 ways to move/copy a database from one server to another server using SQL Server Tools.
i) Detach the database from the old server and attach it in the new server. This is purely offline operation and it moves the database instead of copying it.
Refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190209.aspx : how to use attach/detach database in SQL Server Management Studio(SSMS)
ii) Back up the database in the old server and restore it in the destination server. This can be performed during online and it creates a new database in the destination server.

iii) Using copy database wizard in SQL Server Management Studio.
Select the database in the source server in SSMS
Right click ->Tasks->Copy Database Wizard to launch the copy database wizard.
Enter the source and destination credentials and select either attach/detach or SMO type
click next and you can schedule or run immediately
Click finish to execute it
Refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188664.aspx for more information.
iv) The last type is to generate the create script using Generate Script Wizard (SSMS) and execute it in the destination server.
Select the database in the source server in SSMS
Right click ->Tasks->Generate Scripts Wizard to launch the wizard.
Select the various scripting options needed and select the objects needed to generate the scripts for them. Make sure script data = true in the scripting option to generate script for data as well (INSERT statements)
click next ->next and finish to generate the script (new query window or clip board or file)
connect to the destination server and create the new database in it.
Click new query window and paste the script generated using GSW above and execute them with the destination database context.
Refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181421.aspx for more information
v) Using Transfer Object in SMO
Sample code:
ScriptingOptions so = new ScriptingOptions();
so.ScriptData = true;
Transfer t = new Transfer(db);
t.CopyAllObjets = true;
t.options = so;
t.TransferData();
Note: Transfer class is available in Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtendedClass.dll (SQL Server 2008)
or Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll (SQL Server 2005)
There are various member variables to be configurable. Also ScriptingOptions class object can be created and assigned to the transfer object as well.
set ScriptData = true in order to transfer data also. It copies the destination instead of moving the database
Refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sqlserver.management.smo.transfer.aspx for more information.
Does this helped?
Thanks

I transferred settings and files from old MacBook air to new one. New one now gives popup about failing to connect to server (old iMac). the new Mac air and old iMac have never met and are 2000 miles apart. How do I stop the popups?

Change your settings in Sharing preferences, for one, and remove the server out of the Finder's sidebar. Obviously, this is the result of transfering all your other computer's preferences to your new computer.
