Upgrading from AD 2000 to AD 2003

We currently have two instances of ACS 3.1 running on two Windows 2000 Domain Controllers.
One instance is read only (changes don't replicate) Does it matter which instance I upgrade first? I think I should update the primary instance first.
Once I upgrade them to 3.3.3 I plan on installing a new server running 2003, making it a domain controller, installing ACS 3.3.3 on it from scratch. Then configuring it to replicate with our primary instance. Once that is done I will remove the secondary instance on one of the 2000 domain controllers.
Once that is done I will install another 2003 server and repeat the process except this time I will replicate with the new ACS instance.
When it's done I should have two new 2003 domain controllers and two fully functional instances of ACS 3.3.3. Anyone see any problems or have a better way to upgrade ACS, and move it to new servers, while upgrading AD to 2003? Thanks.

You sound like you've thought this through. Your plan should work fine. RE: which system to upgrade first, it doesn't matter. Either way you won't be able to do replication until both systems are up on 3.3.3.

OS upgrade from windows 2000 to Windows 2003/ 2008

Hi friends,
We are planning to do an OS upgrade of our current production system from windows 2000 to Windows 2003/ 2008.
Can you please refer me to any existing document /Forum link which has a detailed strategy outlaying the activites to be performed for this.

Hello,
Just upgrading the OS to 2003 should be OK as 640 - 700 kernel is supported on Windows 2003

For 2008 minimum level is 700 SR3 best to do a system copy

Problem after upgrading from Office 2000 to Office 2003

All:
Using Excel 2000 under Windows XP, ORACLE 8.01 ODBC driver, and ORACLE 8.1.7.4 database on an RS6000, data retrievals work fine.
Some users are testing PCs upgraded to Office 2003. Using same ORACLE ODBC driver and database, some columns of Excel spreadsheet now are in English and others in a different character set (basically garbage). Again, some are fine, some are not.
Thoughts/Ideas/Opinions??
Thank you in advance.

What version of the Oracle ODBC driver are you using? 8.01 is not a driver version-- it should be something like 8.1.7.x.y (assuming you're using one of the 8.1.7 Oracle ODBC drivers).
Since Oracle desupported the 8.1.7 database almost a year ago, do you have the option of upgrading the Oracle client to a supported release (probably 9.2 in your case)?
Unfortunately, I don't know what your particular problem is, but I have certainly seen problems mixing the latest and greatest versions of applications with older versions of the Oracle client.

Error 1003 after i upgrade from office 2000 to 2003

I just now upgraded form MSOffice 2000 to MSOffice 2003. When I tried to rebuild my app using application builder I get an error 1003 c:\...\internal.llb\excel_save_workbook.vi. Possible reasons: The vi is not executable. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled office and I have copied the toolkit's files to the harddrive and reinstalled the report generation toolkit from there, according to some of the help files in the knowledge base. Neither worked, although the original error was in _exceldynamicvis.vi and now its in the one mentioned above. nothing else has changed on the system. I can recompile my entire program using ctrl-shift and pressing the arrow at the same time, and there are no problems. Any help would be appreciated.
-Mike

Hi Mike,
Try opening the “excel_save_workbook.vi” and see if there is a broken run arrow in that VI. Hopefully there is. You can then identify the exact node (it will be some invoke node or property node) that will be set to some function or property that is no longer valid in the new Office 2003 API.
The issue here is that upgrading office causes changes in the office API that break other applications that call methods or properties of the old office API. You’ll just have to manually go in and reset the function call to the new function call in each of the VIs to update them with the new office 2003 API.
Hope this helps. Good luck!

Migrating from Office 2000 to office 2003

I know that the personality migration is great for upgrading OS versions. Does it work the same for application upgrades as well. We are going to be upgrading workstations from Windows 2000 and Office 2000 to Windows XP and Office 2003. Will the personality migration migrate the office settings from office 2000 to Office 2003?
THanks in advance.

Would like to upgrade to Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 from DNS 6 (which would also entail a necessary upgrade from Windows 2000 to 7) but understand after all this expense and trouble, DNS upgrade may not be compatible with Firefox 6?

Question
Would like to upgrade to Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 from DNS 6 (which would also entail a necessary upgrade from Windows 2000 to 7) but understand after all this expense and trouble, DNS upgrade may not be compatible with Firefox 6?
Main priority is voice activation upgrade. Ideas about how to proceed appreciated!

AFAIK, it's been over three years since a WinXP laptop or desktop PC has been sold; I specifically bought a laptop in June 2008 because it was being clearanced by that retail chain to meet Microsoft's deadline, and got it real cheap. It was tagged for the store manager to purchase, but he let me have it because I exceeded his expectations for the services I performed for his store and thought I deserved it. Anything that wasn't made for Vista-compatibility will be very iffy with Win7, IMO - so that basically rules out anything that was made before like Oct or Nov 2007.
Unless another DNS 11 user happens to see this thread and can verify whether it works in Firefox 6.0 or not, I don't what to recommend except for you doing a web search to see what other DNS / Firefox users have to say about compatibility.

Directory access problem: upgrade from windows 2000 to 2003

Hi Experts,
We are trying to upgrade from old server(OS - windows2000) to new server (windows 2003).
Its also upgrade from 32bit to 64bit.
Currently we have 5 application servers mounted on a single database server.
When we tried to upgrade in test server, user is not able to acess the server directory(to save file from backround job) inspite of having authorization.
Please let me know if you need further inputs.
Eagerly looking forward to your help.

Moving oracle 9i database from windows 2000 to windows 2003 server

hi everybody,
plz provide me a solution how to move oracle 9i database from windows 2000 server to windows 2003 server with step by step and also with commands plz as i am very new to oracle
thanks in advance
suresh

Install 9i on windows 2003 server and patch to the same level as the Oracle on Windows 2k
Shutdown and make a cold backup of your old database. That includes datafiles, controlfiles, redo files, init file (spfile)
Copy and put these files to the exact same directory structure/location, for example if old file is under D:\oradata\mysid\ then the file on new file should be under same directory. (If you are using Network Storage that make things easier, just mapping to the same drive letter.)
Also make sure archive log dest and all dump dest directories are created. You don't have to copy all old logs and dump files over.
Use oradim to create a new service for the database instance
http://www.psoug.org/reference/oradim.html
Set proper ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID envionment varibles
Run netca to configure listener, actually copy listener.ora and tnsnames.ora to $ORACLE_HOME\network\admin will do
Try to start the database

Upgrading from Windows 2000 to XP

Help! I have my iPod installed on my work computer and my office is getting ready to upgrade my computer from Windows 2000 to Windows XP. Our IT department won't transfer personal music files. I don't want to lose the music in iTunes, what can I do?

Back them up to an external drive, DVD, or CD? This is generally a good idea even when you're not planning and upgrade...Apple won't let you re-download tracks you bought and downloaded, and You don't really want to spend all that time re-importing CDs.
An external hard drive is one good way to back up the music; they've come down a lot in price recently. If you have a DVD burner, you could back up your music onto DVDs (I don't know how much music you have, but each DVD holds 4.7GB). Barring that, you could back up onto data CDs, which hold about 700 MB each.

Upgrade from SQL 2000 to 2005

In our test environment, we are on 2005 SP01 PL34, and are
upgrading SQL Enterprise Edition from the 2000 to the 2005 SP2 edition.
The SQL upgrade advisor has given some error messages
in relation to SAP tables, as per below. Should we be concerned about
these, or will they have any effect on upgrading from SAP B1 2005 to
2007 versions?
Remove references to undocumented system tables
Many system tables that were undocumented in prior releases have changed or no longer exist; therefore, using these tables may cause errors after upgrading to SQL server 2005.
Affected tables
Object Name : TmSP_GetDbSizeByDrives
Object Type : P
System Table : spt_value
Object Name : TmSP_CheckDiskSpace
The above messages point to SAP stored procedures.

I believe all those SP are temporary SP for you previous upgrade. Therefore. it should be no problem to upgrade your test database first. You have to back up the pre upgrade database anyway, you should be safe.
Thanks,
Gordon

Upgrading from Access 2000 to MS SQL Compact 3.5

Outlook 2007 won't open .pst file from Outlook 2000

I have been using Outlook 2000 for 10 years and hit the 2GB limit. As a result, Outlook 2000 would not open mail and did not permit me to delete mail to clear space.
I’d been meaning to install my Office 2007 and this seemed like the time to do so. Once installed, I attempted to open my 2 GB PST file in Outlook 2007. No luck.
Messages: “The message interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook.” And “Cannot display information. There is either a problem connecting to the server or an error has occurred.”
Researching on the Web, I found Microsoft guidance that I could create a new data file and import the old (ANSI) .PST file into this new (Unicode) .PST file. When I did
that, during the Import, I encountered another error message: “The file has reached its maximum size. (Followed by two unhelpful sentences – can’t be imported).”
OK, I think, I have to reduce the size of that file. Research yields Microsoft’s “oversized PST and PST crop tool.”
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296088 I do that and follow the instructions to scan the truncated file with Microsoft’s
scanpst.exe tool, which is included with Office.
Another error: scanpst.exe will not complete its scan. I receive a mysterious error message with no indication what the exact problem is. I created multiple versions
of the truncated .PST file, each smaller than the last, so that the smallest was 1.7 GB. Still errors with scanpst.exe and ultimately no luck.
I have spent more than 10 hours trying to solve this problem and am at wit’s end. I’m a freelance writer, and it’s costing me money. What’s worse,
info on projects I’m supposed to be working on are locked in that PST file! All data is stored locally on a Dell laptop with Windows 7.
Help anybody? Please? Thank you!

Fifteen hours later, I was back in business, having upgraded from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2007, a process one would expect to take a half-hour tops. I'm no IT pro, but
I am pretty accomplished at fixing problems. This one seemed beyond my reach, as neither of the utilities Microsoft recommended to address the issue, the truncation tool and scanpst.exe, worked -- what a surprise! I engaged a local technician to diagnose the
problem remotely, and over a course of four hours he fixed it using a third-party program called "Outlook Recovery Toolbox." I'd actually downloaded that tool and fooled around a bit, but didn't use it for a full scan as I think that required a purchase, and
who knows if it's malware or what. Well, it worked.
So 15 hours lost. That cost me hundreds of dollars as I am self-employed, plus I have a $150 bill from the technician, which is more than fair for his two hours of labor
(the extra two hours were scanning and importing time). Again, Microsoft managed to turn into an epic ordeal what the consumer expects to be a straightforward upgrade process.
Now I have Outlook 2007, oh boy! The first thing I notice is the inflexible mail header above the message body. WTF is that supposed to be? Who was the Einstein who thought
that up? It renders USELESS like an inch of real estate right in the center of the screen! I find that it can be hidden (not, of course, with a simple, convenient and sensible right click ... oh NOOOO ... but through multi-click options available in the toolbar).
(For background, Outlook 2000 did not have that inflexible mail header -- the header info (subject, date, sender, CC) was part of the email, so if you scrolled down the
email, the header went with it and made the best possible use of available space).
Now here's a twist -- Outlook does not show, in your list of emails, whether an email has an attachment if the email was sent via Lotus Notes. That was a glitch in 2000,
and one I would expect to have been resolved in 2007. BUT NO. So, just moments ago, I have an email/meeting invitation sent from a client using Lotus Notes. Even though I had told Outlook to hide headers, it disobeyed me ...
why? Because this was a "meeting invite" email, offering me options, in that stupid inflexible header, to Accept, Decline, Propose New Time, & etc. Well, those options only increased the size of that inflexible header, so that the visible area of
the email WAS LESS THAN ONE INCH HIGH. Yes, I can adjust it -- how very productive!
These two Microsoft glitches / manifestations of poor design -- no alerting to attachments from Lotus clients and that horrid header -- very nearly conspired to cause
me to miss a critical attachment displayed only at the very bottom of the email. The document attached needs to be read and commented before the meeting, and only by the grace of God did I happen to scroll, IN THAT 3/4 INCH MAIL WINDOW, to the bottom and happen
to spot said critical attachment.
Do I expect anything more from Microsoft ... other than more grief and stupidity? Sadly, I do not. It is my misfortune in life to have to use Microsoft Word on a daily
basis, as I have for the past 10 years.
Before that, I used WordPerfect and what a wonderful program it was! I recall using WordPerfect to write and design one lovely graphical document in particular that earned
me an A+ in class. WordPerfect was so easy and powerful, with virtually no hassles—just gratification. Is it better to have loved (WordPerfect) and lost, than to have never loved at all?
Unfortunately, since all my clients use Word, I have to as well. Frankly, and I hope this isn’t against board rules, I am merely speaking the truth as I see it—Microsoft
Word is an utterly wretched application that has caused me untold grief and aggravation. Bulleting, text boxes, fickle fonts, the list is very, very long …. But it only gets worse!!!
The whole .doc .vs
docx is a complete debacle; the “Compatibility Pack” is a cruel joke. If I use Word 2000 on .docx documents, here are some of the inconveniences and frustrations that I encounter:
Bulleting function grayed out
Spelling errors not highlighted
Additional linespaces introduced into printed documents
Mysterious transposition of bold, italics and underlining
Inability to work with text boxes (“Error! Reference source not found!”)
Track Changes not accurately recorded
These are not incidental issues. I’m a spelling bee champion, but unless the spelling highlight function works, I am bound to have a typo or two in a 20-page document.
This affects the quality of my work and my livelihood.
To make matters worse, my Windows 7 often won’t find .docx documents. If I had worked on a .docx document something four months that I recall included the word
“Rumplestiltskin,” the Windows 7 Find function should locate it, but it does not.
I could go on and on. How about the dismal wireless connectivity in Window 7, vs. XP, which was virtually flawless. But I’m trying to catch up on the 15 hours that I lost yesterday thanks to Microsoft’s
awful Outlook troubleshooting and upgrade functionality.
