Upgrade from 2012 to 2012 R2 with DirectAccess

I have read a few posts here and there about doing an in-place upgrade of 2012 to 2012 R2 with DirectAccess. I'm wondering what people in the forum have to say about doing an in-place upgrade. I realize that there are no new features but I would
like to make sure most of our servers are 2012 R2 instead of 2012 since it is much friendlier.
What I was hoping to do was just mount the 2012 R2 ISO and run setup. I have done this with AD and it worked in my home lab but I have not tried DA hence me asking.
Thank you,
Kent

Upgrading from SBS2008 to 2012 Essentials

I'm upgrading from SBS2008 to 2012 Essentials. I understand that Essentials does not include everything that SBS did (Exchange, DC, DHCP, AD, DNS, SharePoint Companyweb, etc), so I'm guessing that I will need multiple servers. I'm trying
to figure out how to apportion and configure my overall system.
I have seen posts that indicate a recommendation to set up 2012 Standard R2 on the 1st physical server with Essentials R2 on a virtual server. And then using other virtual servers for other functions. Why would I do that? I don't understand
all the advantages and disadvantages of how to set up the various functions. Should I put Exchange server on a totally different physical machine, a server #2?
My number 1 server is a HP Proliant DL160 with dual quad core, 24GB ram and hardware RAID. What would you think would be best to install on that server and what would you put on another server?
skb

yeah...Windows Server 2012 Essentials no longer contains a built-in email service. However, it supports multiple email options that include Office 365, an on-premises server running Exchange
Server, and third-party hosted email services. If use on-premises server running Exchange Server, we do support running Exchange Server on a second server.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2012/07/26/email-options-supported-by-windows-server-2012-essentials.aspx
-->DC, DHCP, AD, DNS
you can normally transfer those roles, services and configure.
-->sharepoint
general similar steps...http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg616007.aspx
in theory, can host Exchange server and sharepoint on one same windows server in physical machine...

Upgrade from Windows Server 2012 Active Directory to Windows Server 2012 R2 Active Directory

We are currently running Windows Server 2012 Active Directory and would like to upgrade to Windows Server 2012 R2 AD. Is it OK to just do an in-place upgrade, or is it advisable to build new domain controllers on R2? Are there any guides or articles anyone
can recommend?

Hi Ginandtonic,
To upgrade DC(Domain Controller) from windows server 2012 to windows server 2012 r2, please refer to these articles:
Upgrade from windows Server 2012 to 2012 R2

Can't queue a build after upgrading from 2008 to 2012 (TF246021)

Hi,
We're trialling an upgrade from TFS 2008 to 2012.4. New TFS has been set up on new hardware with new slq and build boxes. Then we imported 2008 backups and used TFSConfig to import / upgrade them. No errors or warnings where shown.
Unfortunately we can't queue any builds on the collection. Even a brand new definition in a new team project building "hello world". Builds in other collections work OK.
The error we're getting is

Upgrading from SQL Server 2012 Standard to SQL Server 2014 Standard Failover Cluster

Goal: To upgrade my default instance from SQL Server 2012 to SQL Server 2014 in a failover cluster.
Given:
1) Operating System Windows 2012 R2
2) 2 Virtual Machines in a cluster with SQL Server as a Guest Cluster resource. The two VMS are called APPS08 and APPS09. They are our development environment that is setup similar to our production environment.
Problem: When running the SQL Server 2014 upgrade, I started on the VM that was not running the instance. I then moved onto upgrading on the node that was running the instance. As soon as the install attempt to failover the running instance
an install error occurred that it could not failover. After many install attempts I consistently received the error
The SQL Server Failover cluster instance name 'Dev01'
already exists as a cluster resource. Opening Failover cluster manager there is no record of a DEV01.
New Strategy: Create a SQLCluster called DEV07. At the end of the Install I get 'Resource for instance 'MSSQLSERVER' should not exists. Neither I nor my Windows 2012 guy understand what Resource the install may be referring to.
We do not see anything out of the ordinary.
Any suggestions as to what Resource may be seeing the default instance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi PSCSQLDBA,
As your description, you want to upgrade the default instance in SQL Server cluster.
>> 'SQL Server failover cluster instance name 'Dev01' already exists as cluster resource'
This error could occur when there is a previously used instance name which may not be removed completely.
To work around the issue, please use one of the ways below.
1. At command prompt, type Cluster res. This command will list you all the resources including orphan resources. To delete the orphan resource, type Cluster res <resource name>/delete.
For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
http://gemanjyothisqlserver.blogspot.in/2012/12/sql-2008r22012-cluster-installation.html
2. Delete DNS entries, and force a replication of DNS to the other DNS servers.
For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
http://jon.netdork.net/2011/06/07/failed-cluster-install-and-name-already-exists/#solution
>> 'Resource for instance 'MSSQLSERVER' should not exist'
This error could occur when you already have MSSQLSERVER as a resource in the cluster, which may not be removed completely. To work around the issue, you could rebuild the SQL Server cluster node.

Michelle Li

Upgrading from 2007 to 2012 - Restoration of 2007 Storage

We are in the process of revieiwing the upgrade process. Our main concern is the ability to use DPM 2012 to restore Backups that were created on DPM 2012.
Is the restoration process supported by DPM2012.
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Will Sass
Will S. 15 Years in this thing

Hi,
As long as you are upgrading along the way, then recovery points made on DPM 2007 will be available for restore on DPM 2012.
The proper steps to upgrade from DPM 2007 to DPM 2012 are as follows:
a) Patch SCDPM 2007 to newest patch level. (kb2250436)
b) Save copy of DPM2007 SQL database (dpmbackup -db) - copy to network share.
c) Un-install DPM 2007 - then Upgrade OS Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 - then to Windows 2008 R2.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd637098.aspx
d) Install DPM2007 and install latest patch level. (kb2250436)
e) Copy saved DPM 2007 DPMDB to local drive, then restore DPM 2007 DPMDB.
(dpmsync -restoredb -dbloc c:\msdpm.bak)
(dpmsync -sync)
f) Upgrade SCDPM 2007 to DPM 2010 (Which automatcally included SQL upgrade)
g) Patch SCDPM 2010 to newest update UR7 (kb2751231)
h) Update the Agents to DPM 2010 agents
I) Upgrade SCDPM 2010 to SCDPM 2012.
j) Install latest DPM 2012 update UR3 (KB2756127)
k) update the agents to DPM 2012 agents.
L) Run CC on all data sources.

Upgrade From CS5 To CS6 Problems With Flash Graphics?

Hi People.
I upgraded from Adobe CS5 to CS6. I originally built a printable book and developed an interactive version in InDesign CS5, which I finally exported to Flash. For the printed version I used Adobe illustrator to create the book images and for the interactive version I converted the images into SWF.
The upgrade from Adobe CS5 to CS6 went well for the InDesign printed version of the book and I exported the new CS6 version of the printed book to PDF. However when I opened the old InDesign CS5 interactive version of the book in InDesign CS6 I was missing the links for the images.
When I tried to relink the images I was told `Cannot place this file. No filter found for requested operation:.
Please please help me because I am 2000 images in the new CS6 interactive version and short of going back and replacing each one individually, I am at a loss.
Thanks.

Steve,
Thanks...
Yes I can place the old SWF file into a new CS6 document and that works well, but I`m talking about 3 books of a total of nearly 10,00 images, which is a lot of time of replacing old for new,
Maybe I`ll stick with the interactive books staying in CS5 because I can`t see any material benefit of upgrading them to CS6, unless they were to be EPuped from their present CD Rom format?
However I do think it is a dreadfull oversight of Adobe not to stop me be penalized in a large slice of my profession, interactive second language book production, for the good intent of upgrading my CS Master Suite,
Take Care.

How to upgrade from trial connect 9 version with elearning features?

Please advise how i upgrade from my current trial version of Connect 9 to the full version with elearning features.
I see that the public pricing is without the elearning features, so for me this is no good as i need to host courses. The email address of [email protected] is invalid and bounces back and the phone line helpers are unable to provide information to help.
I cannot find costings or online download options anywhere
Please help as a matter of urgency
Thanks

Not sure why the adobe email bounces, but they probably can't get you anything more than a contact for a reseller anyhow.

Correct way to upgrade from LP 8 to 9 with all the extra content?

I know that Apple has moved around the default folders for Apple Loops and extra audio content with different versions of Logic. When upgrading from a full install of LP8 to LP9, what is the correct way to do that. I'm worried I may get duplicate Apple Loops etc.
Should I just run the installer and install all 9 discs to the default settings, or do I need to pay attention to which folders the extra audio content goes? I'm seeing a scenario where the Jam Packs from LP8 are in a different folder than the default for LP9 and so will get installed a second time.

Thank you for your reply. So the jam Packs are identical to LP8? Then I can skip thoseI have a pretty good idea of where the actual files are located. So I should be able to figure it out.
How can I the make sure that every file on the disk is actually in the loop browser , and to avoid duplicates? Over the years as directories have been changed for GB and LP, it's been quite confusing, especially since I already had some Jam Packs and also Soundtrack Pro and corresponding Loops before they became part of LP and some other Loop packages. Is it really as easy as deleting everything in the Loop Browser and then dragging all the folders from the HD in there?

Can I still upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, with Yosemite out?

Hi there,
my girlfriend is running Snow Leopard (10.6.8 I believe) on a MacBook 2009. Now she finally wanted an upgrade to a newer OS. However, I've read in several reviews that Yosemite is not running very smoothly on some older Macs. So I thought upgrading to Mavericks might be a better deal.
So my question is:
How can I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks? Apparently you can't do it over the AppStore, since you can now only download Yosemite. Is there another way?
Thanks!

Nope. Mavericks is no longer available for download unless you had downloaded it in the past. If Yosemite doesn't do well on an older Mac, then neither will Mavericks. Consider rolling back to Snow Leopard.
You may try calling Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. They may be able to help you with getting Mavericks for now.

Upgrading from RH7 to RH8: Problem with user-defined variables

Example:
Before upgrade: <uservariable name=Product_name1 x-showvalue x-value=MyProduct>MyProduct</uservariable>.
After upgrade: <?rh-udv_start name="Product_name1" ?>MyProduct<?rh-udv_end ?> .
Notice that there is now a space before the period. Any time my UDV is followed by another letter or punctuation, there is now an extra space. :-/ Does anybody know of a way to fix this besides using FAR to search and replace every possible combination of UDV + letter/punctuation?

Problems like that make me a whole lot happier that we upgraded from RHX5 where variables didn't exist! I think the best way forward IS to use a find and replace tool. Sorry.

SSIS package Upgrade from 2005 to 2012

Hi,
We have a Solution file with 8 projects for SSIS packages. All of them are in VSS. They all have been created in 2005. Now we installed VS 2012 and SSDT on our local machines. I got latest of solution and projects from VSS on new machine. I tried to open
solution file which took me SSIS package Upgrade wizard. I followed the steps and in the last step of conversion, it displayed that it had errors. The errors are:
Error 0xc001f429: Package Upgrade: The file, "C:\SSIS\compay\hello.dtsx", could not be opened for writing. The file could be read-only, or you do not have the correct permissions.
and for some packages, it is like this:

But solution and all projects and packages show that they are checked out. I checked properties also. Read only checkbox is not checked.
Please suggest what to do. I appreciate your response.
Thanks,

Why didnt you check it out directly from VSS rather than going this long route? How would VSS now that file is in checked out status if you go and manually change readwrite property? I think it may be that its getting confused when you tried to save
it into its working folder as it still has status as checked in and not locked by anyone.
Can you try saving packages copies to different folder and then do the upgrade by including them onto a IS project?

Upgrade from 2008R2 to 2012 or 2014?

Hi,
Have to start planning/testing a upgrade of SQL 2008R2 in the next month or so. I was planning on going to 2012 but I'm wondering if I should jump straight to 2014. Anyone done this all in one go, any problems/issues?
I will upgrade one instance to start with, however I will still need to backup/restore from 2008R2 to this 2012 server, mostly using RedGate SQL Backup, however there are occasions when vanilla backup/restore are used.
No replication or log shipping (as yet).
The server is a development environment for SSIS & SSRS, basically it's a BI server.
Thanks in advance.
Dave

Hello,
On SQL Server 2008 R2 you have Business Intelligence Development Studio for BI, SSIS. SQL Server 2012 and 2014 offer SQL
Server Data Tools. You won’t be able to use SSIS designers in VS 2008 to target SSIS 2012, you will have to use VS 2010 or VS2012, and if you upgrade to SQL 2014 to will have to use VS 2013.

Use SSIS package upgrade wizard to upgrade SSIS packages.

Since SQL Server 2012, a new project deployment model exists. Read about it on the following document.

If you choose to upgrade to SSIS 2014 instead of SSIS 2012, you will have to provide users access to integration services service using the following procedure. You do not have to do this procedure for SSIS 2012.
