Upgrade has been disabled : Windows Server 2003 to 2008 Upgrade

To whom it may concern :
I have a virtualized Windows 2003 Web Edition (x86) that needs to be upgrade to Windows Server 2008 (x86). It has several web applications installed and configured thus clean install of Windows Server 2008 is not an option.
In short, I get a "Upgrade has been disabled" message.
It also says, "You cannot upgrade from Windows Server 2003 Web Edition to Windows Web Server 2008. You can upgrade to ." Would you please help?
FYI. the Windows Server 2003 has a single partition and setupact.log as follow:

Use Windows Server 2003 or 2008 with BootCamp?Just want to run basic things

Hey, well I can get a copy of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and 2008 with the DreamSpark program (as I am in college) for free. But my question is, is this a good idea to use with my MacBook Pro? I wasn't sure how well it'd work with Boot Camp, and all I'd want is to just run basic programs and/or games.
Is it a good idea? And does anyone have tutorials for how to install it?

Hi,
Windows Server 2003 and XP 64-bit share the same codebase and XP-64bit is not supported with BootCamp.
Windows Server 2008 and Vista 64-bit share the same codebase and Vista 64-bit is only supported with BootCamp on some Macs. See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
For running 'basic' things with the Server versions, why not use one of the Virtualization apps like Parallels, VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox ?
http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/
http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/
http://www.virtualbox.org/
VirtualBox is open-source, so you don't have to pay for it.

How to migrate windows server 2003 to 2008 live server without shutdown could anyone explain me ?
Thanks & Regards, Amol . Amol Dhaygude

I don't think you can do it without a shutdown. This also depends on the types of services, roles etc hosted on the server.

Upgrade from Windows Server 2003 to 2008

Hi Experts,
We are currently running SAP BPC v 7.0 for Microsoft in a Windows Server 2003 environment. This is not a production application right now as we are doing discovery work in SAP BPC 7.0. For another project, we need to upgrade to windows server 2008.
We are trying to figure out if the SAP BPC will still work after the upgrade. I know SAP BPC is compatible with Server 2008, but do we need to start of a fresh installation or the upgrade will work. We are trying to figure out if we should plan some time to reinstall SAP BPC and re-do the work we have done in BPC once it has been upgraded.
Thanks a lot!
Martin

At this point, BPC 7.0 for Microsoft is not certified for Windows 2008. So, if you prepare and execute the upgrade to the server OS, support may not assist if you find any issues. We plan to be certified on Windows 2008 with the next release of 7.5 for BPC.
Hope this helps.

Upgrading Virtual Windows server 2003 to 2008

We currently run VI 2.5 with 3.5 U2 servers in a cluster. I was trying to upgrade (in place) a Windows server 2003 st. to Windows Server 2008. However when doing this the guest becomes unresponsive at (completely black screen in the console windows) and the setup reboot the guests and I boots back into 2003 (stating that the setup/upgrade failed). Is there a trick I need to be aware of?

A big thanks to you my friend... I followed your steps and it actually works on my environment... currently I got 2-3 more Windows 2003 servers that needed to be upgraded to Windows 2008. However to save cost we are doing it ourselves... below is the steps I taken following your steps:
Do note that I did this in VSphere 4.0 Update 2 version. One more thing... Ensure you got at least 20GB HDD free space in boot drive before you do the steps below else it will be like me the first time doing it...
1. Windows 2003 VM - Remove/Uninstall the VMware Tools from the Control Panel.
2. Shut down the Windows 2003 VM. You do not need to restart because you need to change the Guest VM OS from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2. Once the Guest OS is changed, start the Windows 2003 VM.
3. Suffer a bit on the screen resolution but you can tweak it back to 1024 x 768 using the default VGA drivers. Recommend to do this so that it would be easier to work with a bigger desktop.
4. Go to the Device Manager Tab to disable the "Base System Device". This took me a while to confirm the location because of the bad mouse (It will happen after VMware Tools is removed).
5. Proceed to do the Windows 2008 upgrade.
Hope this steps will help others...

How do I add a Mac to a Windows Server 2003 or 2008 domain?

I recently started working for a public school district that runs Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 R2. There are several faculty members, myself included, that would like to get their Macs onto the domain and capable of file sharing, printing to network printers, etc. I cannot find decent instructions anywhere. Could someone please point me in the right direction or give me some directions? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm also new to the MAC world - I trust you were able to join the MAC's to the domain - I finally figured it out. However, I have not been able to get the MAC's to save to the Windows 2008 server where I have student folders setup. Have you been able to do this? If so can share the info with us.
Thanks,

Unable to upgrade OS from Server 2003 to 2008 after virtualization in VMware

We have been unable to upgrade any of our Windows Server 2003 to 2008 after they have been virtualized. After what looks like a successful upgrade it just gets stuck on the Microsoft corporation screen. No issues if the server was built
in VMware. We use the same install files for both Physical and Virtual Servers.

I'd check the log files.

How To Configure GP For Client DC on Windows Server 2003

Dear all,
I have been installed windows server 2003 and make one DC on my server. And i create several group and want to make policy for that each group. For example I have created '2014' group and all user who join my dc and registered as a part of '2014' group couldn't
access their browser such as Firefox and IE and couldn't access their bluetooth. How can I make it possible?
Thanks before.
Warm Regards,

Hi Denni Sembiring,
Could you clarify your question “all user who join my dc and registered as a part of '2014' group couldn't access their browser such as Firefox and IE and couldn't access their
Bluetooth”, are you want to realize to limit some user can access the specific software and computer device? GPOs can be linked to the following levels:
•Site
•Domain
•Organizational Unit
We can not link GPO to group, if you want to limit specific user can only access specific software you can refer the following KB to restrict user access.

Upgrading windows server 2003 domain controller to windows server 2008

Hello friedns :
We have a company with about 2000 users , and two windows server 2003 domain controllers , one of them acts as a primary domain controller , and the other acts as secondary domain controller , all the FSMO s are on the primary DC ,we have decided to upgrade all of our servers from windows server 2003 to windows server 2008 , the first step is to upgrade the domain controllers to windows server 2008 , our domain controllers are so sensitive and has to be active 24 hours a day , i have stress upgrading it to windows server 2008 , what is the best solution to upgrade it with no risk ?
( i have an opinion but i am not sure and i dont have any guide about it , i want to install a windows server 2008 and promote it as an additional domain controller to the windows server 2003 DC and the transfer all the FSMOs to it , and then promote the first domain controller !!! is that possible ? if yes , is there any guide about it? )
If there is a guide available for it please let me know . (Specially if there is a tip & trick)
thank you guys.
Network is my LOVE

Hi,
This TechNet online article might be helpful for you.
How to Upgrade Domain Controllers to Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee522994(WS.10).aspx
For your convenience, I have list some general steps for your reference.
Since the following operation have potential damage to Active Directory database, it is highly suggested that you'd better perform a full backup of Active Directory (System State) firstly. Also it is better to test the following procedure in a similar lab environment first.
General Steps:
=============
1. Verify the new server's TCP/IP configuration has been pointed to the current DNS server.
2. Make the new server become a member server of the current Windows Server 2003 domain first.
3. Upgrade the Windows Server 2003 forest schema to Windows Server 2008 schema with the "adprep /forestprep" command on old server.
Please run the "adprep.exe /forestprep" command from the Windows Server 2008 installation disk on the schema master. To do this, insert the Windows Server 2008 installation disk, and then type the following command:
Drive:\sources\ADPREP\adprep.exe /forestprep
4. Upgrade the Windows 2003 domain schema with the "adprep /domainprep" command on old server.
Please run the "adprep.exe /domainprep" command from the Windows Server 2008 installation disk on the infrastructure master. To do this, insert the Windows Server 2008 installation disk, and then type the following command:
Drive:\sources\ADPREP \adprep.exe /domainprep
5. Insert Windows Server 2008 Installation Disc in the new server.
6. Run "dcpromo" on new server to promote it as an additional domain controller in existing Windows 2003 domain, afterwards you may verify the installation of Active Directory.
Please refer to:
How to Verify an Active Directory Installation in Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816106
7. Verify the new server's TCP/IP configuration has been pointed to current DNS server.
8. Enable Global Catalog on new server and manually Check Replication Topology and afterwards manually trigger replication (Replicate Now) to synchronize Active Directory database between 2 replicas.
Please note: It will some time to replicate GC between DC, please wait some time with patience.
9. Disable Global Catalog on the old DC.
10. Transfer all the FSMO roles from the old DC to the new DC.
Please refer to:
How to view and transfer FSMO roles in Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324801
11. Verify that the old DNS Server Zone type is Active Directory-Integrated. If not, please refer to:
How To: Convert DNS Primary Server to Active Directory Integrated
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816101
Note: Active Directory Integrated-Zone is available only if DNS server is a domain controller.
12. Install DNS component on new server and configure it as a new DNS Server (Active Directory Integrated-Zone is preferred). All the DNS configuration should be replicated to the new DNS server with Active Directory Replication.
13. Make all the clients change TCP/IP configuration to point to new server as DNS.
14. You may configure TCP/IP on all the clients, or adjust DHCP scope settings to make them use the new DNS server.
Please note: It is a good practice to make the old DC offline for several days and check whether everything works normally with the new server online. If so, you may let the old DC online and run DCPROMO to demote it.
Hope it helps.

Wilson Jia

Integration - Windows Server 2003/2008R2: Creating a login script that attaches programs to a certain user group. Upgrading to Windows 7/8

We are currently running a windows server 2003 environment with a 2003 server being the DC. We have a couple of 2008 r2 servers that are member servers.
OK...
Our users are primarily operating off of windows xp clients/workstations in which they use RDP to connect to the newer member servers that are windows 2008. With their base profile in xp I am using roaming profiles via server 2003. I am looking to begin
upgrading all of the workstations to all-in-one windows7/8 boxes partially because of cosmetic reasons(#weird) and partially because we will eventually begin using the camera options that are in the all-in-one's.
Also..I must do this one at a time as we don't have the money to do a complete overhaul of all client workstations..If that was the case, I could just redo the network and make those members servers the DC and backup DC as well as add a virtual server
in which everyone can access those legacy programs that are still needed...
As you guys know windows 7/8 boxes will not work with server 2003 and roaming profiles. The reason we don't completely upgrade to 2008 r2 environment is because we are still holding on to a legacy program that requires server 2003 and these programs are
vital to our operation.
So..broken down even further...
A: User is part of a 'LocalAdmins' group that makes them automatically a local admin upon any system within our domain.
B: User logs in to windows xp with credentials in which a tailored made per user roaming profile comes up from server 2003
C: User then logs into one of the two terminal servers via RDP with same credentials and accesses new primary application. To access the legacy applications, they merely minimize their RDP session to get back to the windows xp session.
Ultimately..
1. I'd like to begin replacing option B: with windows 7/8 all-in-ones and and have the RDP saved sessions,that talk to the 2008 member servers, as well as, a few vital ie shortcuts automatically come to all users that are apart of that "LocalAdmins
group period.
2. Setup 1 server 2003 box that runs that legacy program and allow everyone access via a Virtual Environment..
3. If they log into a windows xp box, or a windows 7/8 box, I want them to have access to the same icons.
I guess this is a lot to digest, but my question is, what script could I make that would essentially allow uniformity for both my xp workstations and newly added windows 7/8 boxes? What script could I create that would,I guess reside on server 2003, that
brings all the neccessary icons to the users that are apart of that "LocalAdmins" group despite having a windows xp, 7, or 8 workstation?

" I don't see what the issue is because a logon script will still be managed by Group Policy and will have to be applied using GP rules. In the end you still have to write the script."
You basically contradicted the smug part of your rant and multiple answers with this statement!!! You just recognized that some sort of script would be necessary if I chose to use it via group policy.
But according to you..
"It is not and has never been done via a script."
Clearly it has a section per user for a "profile path" and a "logon SCRIPT". Which warrants my creation of this post since I have currentely implemented
roaming profiles. That is how I am manipulating what users can have on their desktop because of course, we have different users that have different needs. But out of all the users, there are programs that need to be laced and seen upon immediate login.I
will consult other people as this is only preliminary planning but about half of your statements are completely unwarranted and UNNECESSARY!
This statement also proves your additional inaccuracies...
"All of the profile things are handled by Windows and have nothing to do with scripts. You define all of that in Group Policy."
That's just silly talk. I told you in my initial break down of my scenario in an entirety that I am using "tailored made per user roaming profiles" to control desktop environments not group policies in this case. But you just made an absolute statement in
saying "You define all of that in Group policy" which is completely wrong...
Do me a favor, please don't respond to this post anymore. I'd love to see if any other partner, staff or whatever mind responding. Thank you for your help anyway. I will use what is useful in your post and discard the rest.
Thanks

Issues when Sharepoint Services 3.0 OS upgraded from windows server 2003 standard to windows server 2003 enterprise

In my sharepoint 2007, I have upgraded the OS from windows server 2003 standard to windows server 2003 enterprise R2 SP2. After the OS upgrade when I run the central admin it's showing this error "Microsoft Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 Error 2908
error has occurred" screen shot below of the error.
Any help?

Not sure I can help. In general MS does NOT support the upgrade of the Underlying OS without re-installing SharePoint. Many of the prerequisites that were installed when SharePoint was installed are OS specific. You can either contact
Product Support and see if they can provide any assistance or re-install SharePoint from scratch and re-attach/migrate all the existing databases with content into the new system on the new OS.

How do you disable SSL\ CBC Ciphers and Weak Algorythms in Windows Server 2003

Hello, and please accept my humble thanks in advance.The problem that I'm having is the protocols listed below must be disabled on my Windows 2003 (IIS) Servers before we can pass a PCI audit. Now I've taken care of all of this on Windows 2008R2, but not
without days and nights of searching the internet for information that is not only clear to understand but accurate, however, I'm not having much luck with 2003.
Vulnerabilities:

SSL Server Supports RC4 Ciphers for SSLv3

Is there ANY reason why the registry edit would not work?
Again, thank you.

How do i restore my iphone when it has been disabled and cannot be restored through itunes because of the error message that says "The iphone software update server could not be contacted

Have you jailbroken this device? This will make the iPhone not talk to the Software Update Server (that signs and accepts software updates) please refer to the following link? Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"
The iPhone will talk to the software update servers, just need to change the host files, it's a simple process, sorry if you were confused about the wording in to top?

My iPad shows a pop-up window in the update apps of "your apple id has been disabled. ok" I have gone to the manage id and changed to a new id. Still get the disabled window???

"your apple id has been disabled. ok"
I need to know how to get past this window in my updates screen for updating the apps.

Going to need to get in contact with the iTunes store team; if it doesn't mention for security reasons it's something apple has to talk to you about.
