Transferring FSMO roles from 2003 DC to 2012 R2 DC - and how exchange will react.
Hi Folks,
I want to transfer the FSMO roles from our current 'PDC' which is server 2003 to a new Server 2012 R2 DC. Im fine with the steps i have to perform to accomplish this but as always, the wildcard is how my exchange 2007 server will react to such a change.
Does anyone have any insight as to whether exchange will just pick up the new 'PDC' without any issues? i am going to leave the domain functional level at 2003 until i am able to migrate to exchange 2013.
thanks.
Colin Stewart
your active directory is a database, if exchange 2007 is working with the current functional level it will work after the roles are moved, the active directory database does not change when you move it to a newer domain controller, it doesn't really change
when you raise the functional level, it changed when you run adprep for a application like exchange 2007, so if it runs now moving roles to new DC will not change that ,raising your functional level will give you more features in AD like recycle
bin which is nice.

FSMO Migration from 2003 to 2008 R2
I am prepping for FSMO migration from 2003 to 2008 R2 this weekend. I was going through the steps and found a issue that is concerning me. On the 2008 server which is a DC and going to hold all FSMO roles. When I right click on Schema to change Schema
Master the "Change field" does not reflect the new 2008 R2 server? Is this by design...As in will this reflect the 2008 R2 server once I do step 1 Change Domain Controller? Single domain simple AD topology. I am an enterprise admin, domain
admin, and schema admin. The current FSMO is 2003 R2 and it follows to current 2003 R2 and 2008 R2. Will I have to seize the role?
All other FSMO moves show the new server ma-file1. Any help appreciated.
Dave SantelAll AD commands show that I have healthy replication, DNS, ect. No errors. Issue as stated above is when I goto "Change Schema Master" on ma-file1 it only gives the option to change to 2003 existing FSMO ma-file. Not sure if I should proceed with
FSMO migratio using NTDSUTIL to manually transfer? Or if anyone has any advice on how to proceed?
C:\>netdom query fsmo
Schema master ma-file.ccc.local
Domain naming master ma-file.ccc.local
PDC ma-file.ccc.local
RID pool manager ma-file.ccc.local
Infrastructure master ma-file.ccc.local
The command completed successfully.
C:\>netdom query dc
List of domain controllers with accounts in the domain:
MA-FILE
MA-FILE1
MA-UTILITY
The command completed successfully.

I transferred my apps from one Mac to a new one and now my Elements won't open Why?

You can never, never transfer an installed copy of PSE. PSE is not a tidy package like most mac apps; the installer strews stuff all over your hard drive and neither you nor the migration assistant can ever hope to find all the necessary bits and pieces.
Now you have kind of a mess to clean up. First download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
It won't seem to do anything, but it's necessary in order for you to be able to successfully manually remove what did get transferred so that you can reinstall PSE.
Then go around and remove all the bits you can find, not only from applications but from your user>library>preferences and especially from hard drive>library>application support. Note that those are two different libraries.
Then you can reinstall PSE from scratch. -
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
Thanks,

I just downloaded iCloud on my PC and noticed that fewer than half of my photo stream photos have transferred over to my PC. Why is this happening and how can I get the remaining photos? All of my devices are charged and have perfect internet signals. Thanks in advance for any tips and insights!
It's probably happing because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your devices until deleted). When you enabled photo stream on your PC you would have only received photos from the last 30 days.
To transfer older photos to your computer, create a shared photo stream that contains them and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99). -
HHola I update my Apple TV and I am frozen screen with the photo of Apple TV and iTunes symbol and a cable connected from one to another device, it happens and how to fix it Apple TV
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device) -

I want to make the switch from 5 iphone5 to pay the difference and how much??he's locked icloud already bought it so now I'm not using as too expensive and thought this possibility .... you guys can help me ... thank you for it helped
Unfortunately there is little you can do, Lion will not run on your machine.
However it is possible to access some features of iClould while staying with SL. If you go to iCloud you will see the web interface for the cloud.
Some but not all functionality is here. Check it out and see if it meets your needs. -

You can find authorized Apple dealers in Abu Dhabi by clicking here. They can answer purchase questions and most can handle warranty service.

I'm about to transfer the contents of my existing HDD in my (dead PSU) iMac to another computer. I'm just wanting to know if and how I will be able to access my files and documents from the old hard drive once I've made the backup?
You are not going to be able to run your old system from the backup on this old computer as the hardware is incompatible.
You need to get a new computer or a refurbished one. -
IPAD2 since yesterday seems to have stopped transfers of photos from non Mac equipment. I use dell with ITunes cloud facility.
Any ideas or are we to await Mac correcting the software?Okay, can someone please give a useful answer? Thanks! I have been experiencing exactly the same problem for some time now, and it is very annoying. Furthermore, I would like to point out to Chris CA that there is absolutely nothing ambiguous about the original post.
So here is the deal. I used to be able to burn CDs with iTunes that played back fine on both my car and home stereo. After some update, and I am very sorry but I really do not remember which one, as I am just a user and not a programmer and just want something that works, which in the end Apple used to be all about, and therefore do not keep track of all the updates, CDs won't play back on my car stereo. Nothing else changed, still the same brand of CDs (even the same stack!), still the same car stereo, and still the same 2007 MBP. So by simple deduction I conclude it must be a software update. And I do not care what the exact cause is, I just want a fix!
I'd like to apologize for my tone in the above, but it is just a very annoying problem, even more so because it seems nothing is being done about it. Thanks for your answer in advance! -
I transferred a movie from a digital copy to iTunes and tapped Hide by mistake in the Downloads. How do I unhide the movie? It said to do this in account info, how do I do this on the iPhone or computer?
The movie is from iTunes. You would think that a download from iTunes to a MacBook could be watched on an HDTV using Apple TV without any headaches bit this does not appear to be the case.

I trasferred pictures over from my computer to my iPhone 5 and now i cannot delete these pictures from my phone, and i cannot work out how to delete them from my phone by the computer as the pictures do not show up in my files on the computer, how can i remove them i have over 400 pictures that need removing?
If you have a Mac with iPhoto, plug the iPhone in and open iPhoto. Choose to import the photos. Once they have been imported, there should be an option to "Remove Imported Photos from Device". Choose this.
