Upgrade from Server 2003 Small Business Edition

Hi
I have  one  DC  with  2003 Small Business version.  I have  upgraded it to  Domain Functional Level 2003.  When  I try to add  a server 2012 DC , the  error  message  on the  Server 2012
server manager   communicates that  the  level is  2000.
I have  checked the  DNS  setting  on the  DC  with 2003 and there  is a A record  for  the  DC,  DNS  seems  to be  fine as I was reading that  this  problem  occurs when
DNS  is  not configured  correctly.
The  DNS  server  is server is  currently  the 2003 DC. 

This one may help.

    Has anyone been successful syncing email with a MS Exchange Server 2003 Small Business Server?
    My IT guy has tunred on IMAP, but still no luck. Just get a warning message that the iPhone cannot connect to the server.
    Thanks.

    Turning IMAP on is the 1st step. IT will also need to open that port (143) on the firewall.

  • Adaptive Server Small Business Edition - Virtual

    I am seeking information as to how to successfully install Adaptive Server Small Business Edition on a virtual Linux server.   I understand that SBE licensing is bounded by physical capabilities of the machine it is to run on.   In this case, the "base" machine (also Linux) can install and run SBE just fine.   If wanting to install on a virtual linux machine underneath that base linux machine instead, I am blocked by several issues.   I see that sysamcap must be run on the base machine and the produced SYBASE_SAM_CAPACITY value must exist in the environment for the virtual machine where attempting to run SBE.    However, when attempting this process I am blocked from success with the message: "SySAM: The SYBASE_SAM_CAPACITY licensing capacity setting is not intended for this system. This machine partition or virtual machine does not appear to be part of the machine from which the SYBASE_SAM_CAPACITY value was obtained."    Has anyone successfully navigated installation and use of SBE on virtual linux systems?    I need to know this for pre-Edge environments, but I am also interested in knowing whether the new Edge replacement for SBE works successfully in the virtual Linux machine environments.   Thanks.

    This one may help.

  • 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

  • Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition 32 bits Service Pack 2 never finishes searching for updates and use 100% of CPU.

    Hi everyone, I am having issues updating a clean Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition 32 bits Service Pack 2, so any help with be appreciated cause I've already tried all my cards for the past 5 days in this particular issue without success.
    All I did so far is installing Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise with Service Pack 2, open IE to update, it keeps searching for updates and never stop, after 20mn to 30mn the process svchost.exe start using 100% of my CPU.
    I already tried the following scenarios:
    1-  Install IE8, install the update KB927891 and the Windows Update Agent 3.0 (I already had this one installed). Reboot and run windows update trough IE8 and the problem did not solved.
    2- Install those 2 software "MicrosoftFixit.wu.MATSKB.Run" and "MicrosoftFixit50777", open IE to update, it still hangs and continues eating my CPU. This is the output of "MicrosoftFixit".
    Windows Update error 0x8007000D(2014-01-06-T-06_06_34A) --> Not Fixed
    Cryptographic service components are not registered (This service is actually running successfully) --> Not Fixed
    3- I found the following script that would register some DLL, deleting the "SoftwareDistribution" and forcing windows update to solve the problem and nothing happened either.
    Link to script:

    Herein is the root cause of your issue. A topic that's been discussed in several blogs, forums, and even in the media since September regards a known issue with attempting to patch IE6 RTM via Windows Update.
    Aside from that particular issue... browsing the Internet with an unpatched instance of IE6, especially from a Windows Server system, is also asking for a world of hurt.
    Might I suggest the following:
    Download the IE8 for Windows Server 2003 installer to a thumb drive.
    Download the latest Cumulative Security Update for IE8 for Windows Server 2003 to a thumb drive.
    Reinstall Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2.
    Upgrade to IE8 from the thumb drive installer and apply the
    Cumulative Security Update.
    Now your machine is capable of safely browsing to Windows Update to install the rest of the updates (well, maybe, there's also all those other Security Updates from the past seven years that your machine still has vulnerabilites for -- even those seven
    years of updates are going to take a Very Long Time to scan for, download, and install).
    Why don't you have a WSUS server? -- noting, wryly, that you've posted in the *WSUS* forum.

  • Is Windows Server 2003 R2 Entreprise Edition Service Pack 2 supported?

    I tried to install ColdFusion 9 but wasn't able to finish.
    My OS is  - Windows Server 2003 R2 Entreprise Edition Service Pack 2
    Regards
    mangeo

    Here is what I read from the http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/systemreqs/ page:
    Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Professional with Service Pack 3;
    Windows 2000 Server, Advanced Server, or Datacenter Server with Service Pack 3;
    Windows Server® 2003 Web, Standard, or Enterprise Edition with Service Pack 1 and R2;
    Windows Server 2008;
    Windows XP Professional or Home Edition; or Windows Vista® with Service Pack 2
    So, it seems the SP2 of the Microsoft Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition is not supported.
    Is it true?

  • Upgrading from Trial version to Developer Edition

    We installed SQL server 2014 trial edition in 2014 and the trial period just expired. No longer access SQL server 2014. Also in 2014 I purchased the SQL server 2014 Developer Edition.
    I go in the maintenance section of SQL server 2014 and try to upgrade by entering my product key and get an error message that my product key is not valid. I called Microsoft and two different employees confirmed my product key is good.
    Should I be able to upgrade from Trial version to Developer Edition by simply entering my product key?
    Thank you

    Hi cguay01,
    As other post, you should be able to upgrade from Trial Edition to Developer Edition by entering product key from SQL Server setup wizard, you can follow the steps in this similar
    blog. You can also use the following command lines to upgrade SQL Server 2014 Trial to a full version.
    Setup.exe /q /ACTION=editionupgrade /INSTANCENAME=<MSSQLSERVER or instancename> /PID=<PID key for new edition>" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS
    According to your description, the issue that “product key is not valid” might be caused by several reasons such as corrupted installation file, antivirus scanning and so on. There are some proposals for you troubleshooting this issue.
    1. Please ensure that your SQL Server installation file is not corrupted. If you are using ISO download, please copy the content of the ISO image to the local disk on your computer and upgrade SQL Server from there.
    2. Make sure you use corresponding license key matched the edition and version of SQL Server.
    3. Make sure that you don’t exceed the limit of allowed activations of the product key.
    4. Turn off any Anti-virus software when upgrading SQL Server.
    There is also a similar thread for your reference.

  • Upgrading from AD 2003 to AD 2008r2.

    Trying upgrading from AD 2003 to AD 2008r2.  When  examining their environment tried to change the domain function level (as a test) and got the message that I could
    not because one or more servers was at domain funcion level 2000.  When I got detailed info the server name is blank.  There are only 2 domain controllers in th domain.  Both of them are 2003 servers.  One crashed and was rebuilt. 
    FSMO roles are on the rebuilt server.<o:p></o:p>
     Need to get the function level to 2003 so  can extend the scema and install the new
    domain controllers and transfer function.<o:p></o:p>

    Remember to do a full backup of your domain controllers with nt backup before doing any domain work.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322692/en-gb
    I think you will need to raise the forest level first.
    Example: Preparation tasks before the level increase
    In this example, the environment is raised from Windows Server 2000 mixed mode to Windows Server 2003 forest mode.
    Inventory the forest for earlier versions of domain controllers.
    If an accurate server list is not available, follow these steps:
    To discover mixed level domains, Windows Server 2000 domain controllers, or domain controllers with damaged or missing objects, use Active Directory domains and the Trusts MMC snap-in.
    In the snap-in, click Raise Forest Functionality, and then click Save As
    to generate a detailed report.
    If no problems were found, the option to increase to Windows Server 2003 forest level is available from the
    "Available Forest Functional Levels" drop down list. When you try to raise the forest level, the domain controller objects in the configuration containers are searched for any domain controllers that do not have
    msds-behavior-version set to the desired target level. These are assumed to be either Windows Server 2000 domain controllers or newer Windows Server domain controller objects that are damaged.
    If earlier version domain controllers or domain controllers that have damaged or missing computer objects were found, they are included in the report. The status of these domain controllers must be investigated, and the domain controller representation
    in Active Directory must be repaired or removed by using the Ntdsutil file.

  • Migrate from Server 2003 (no Exchange, single server) to SBS 2011

    Are there any Technets or other Microsoft documentation on migrating from Server 2003 (no Exchange, single server) to SBS 2011?  I understand it is possible, but I would like confirmation and some documentation before purchasing the appropriate hardware
    and licenses.
    Thanks,

    Hi Doug,
    In general, the migration is the similar with migrating process from SBS 2003. In addition, also have main
    difference.
    “The main difference is that you don’t have to remove the source and that you have to follow the migration
    instructions as the SBS migration wizard will not launch.”
    You can get above description from following similar thread. Please refer to.

  • Best practice for Smartview when upgrading from Excel 2003 to Excel 2007?

    Does anyone know the best pratice for Smartview when upgrading from Excel 2003 to Excel 2007?
    Current users have Microsoft Excel 2003 with Smartview 9.3.1.2.1.003.
    Computers are being upgraded to Microsoft Excel 2007.
    What is the best pratice for Smartview in this situation?
    1. Do nothing with Smartview and just install Excel 2007.
    2. Install Excel 2007 and then uninstall and reinstall Smartview
    3. Uninstall Smartview, Install Excel 2007, and then install Smartview
    4. Somthing else??
    Thanks!

    We went with option 1 and it worked out fine. Be aware that SV processes noticeably slower in Excel 2007 than 2003. Many users were/are unhappy with the switch. We haven't tested SV v11 yet, so I'm not sure if it has improved performance with Excel 2007 or not (hopefully it does).

    thanks,

    Hi,
    I'm going crazy,  I've upgraded my Server 2012 Standard to Server 2012 R2 Standard and now my DNS server keeps crashing since the in place upgrade.  I have finally narrowed it down to it only crashes after several minutes if I load the data from
    a file instead of the registry.  As a test I:
    -1- killed all my dns data,
    -2- uninstalled the dns server role
    -3- deleted the /windows/system32/dns directory
    -4- reinstalled the DNS server role
    -5- used the wizard to create a DNS server and a forward zone.
    everything works okay, no crashes,  then I change the advanced propertied of the DNS server to load from file, restart the DNS server and once again it crashes every 2 minutes..
    Please help,  this is killing me..
    thanks in advance..

  • What do you recommend to resize a partition on Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition SP2?

    I am running Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition SP2 and only have 2.74GB of hard drive space left on a 11.9 GB hard drive.  My D:\ drive has 37.5GB of free space left on a 124GB Hard drive.  I would like to know what software is
    recommended to repartition drive size or another way to repartition drive.
    Thanks 

    You just need to shrink partition D and get some unallocated space, and then you can extend the system drive with the Unallocated space. There is no need to delete or format partitions.
    The most important is guarantee data security. I have such experience resizing partitions.
    The partition tool required reboot to  process, after a while power off in my office, I know the Server must be damaged. Later, when I turn it on, I cannot believe, it continue to process and reboot to desktop several minutes later. What a lucky man.
