Window 2003 upgrade to window 2008 R2 for Moss 2007

I am currently running Moss 2007 on window 2003 32 bit. I need to move it to 2008 r2 64bit.
currently 1sql, 1webapp
i plan to add 64bit webapp(running window 2008 r2 64bit) to the farm, then remove the 32 bit webapp. here are my question
is that an ok approach since msdn recommend remove sql server first?
patch? does it have to be the same level? do i install 64 bit patches on win08 R2 or 32 bit? I am assuming 64 since i am running 64 bit window?
what about custom web part, fab40? do i need to redeploy?
Anyone have step by step instruction?

Refer to the following MSDN article
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd637753%28v=office.12%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
Also refer to the following article on best approaches to upgrade.
http://www.go4sharepoint.com/Forum/best-approach-upgrade-moss-2007-windows-22904.aspx
And yes, you need to migrate your custom web part and fab40 template manually by redeploying.
Cheers,

Windows 2003 Upgrade to Windows 2008 on MSCS

Hi ,
We were running our NW 7.0 ABAP+JAVA system on Windows 2003 and SQL 2005 . Somehow in some misscommunication the Network administrator has formated the system without taking the OS level image backup . This is our production system .
We did not take the system export before that .
Here is the situtaion :
He has detach the database and SAN . Install Windows 2008 and SQL 2008 . after this we have attached the database and SAN both ,
Now do we need to delte all the old SAP installation files from the SAN or we can just install the Central Service Instance and we will be good ? Do we need to do the rest of the instllation like Database Instance installation ,First MSCS Node ,Additional MSCS node etc...
What is the best way to install the SAP system on it with all the data . We have the data files and system files available with us .
Appriciate your quick help on this .
Thanks ,
Bhanu Pratap Singh

Hi orkun,
That is what i was thinking but SAP is not recommending this and asking me to Go back to Windows 2003 and SQL 2005 and install SAP their from Scratch .
They are not suggesting to install SAP on windows 2008 and restore the database .
Thanks ,

Possible to point Windows 2003 server to Windows 2012 R2 WSUS?

Hello Community,
I have deployed Windows 2012 R2 WSUS in my organisation. I have no issues with Windows 7, 2008 R2 pointing to the WSUS server.
However, I am having issues pointing Windows 2003 R2 and Windows XP to the WSUS server.
On the Windows 2003 client, I have also ran wuauclt /detectnow and the GPO settings is set to:
In Windows 2008 R2, I know that I am getting updates from the WSUS because I can see the option
below (circled in red)
Questions:
1. In Windows 2003, how do I know that I am actually getting the updates from the WSUS and not from the
internet?
2. Are Windows 2003/XP clients compatible to pull updates from a Windows 2012 WSUS server?
3. If Windows 2003/XP clients are able to get updates from Windows 2012 WSUS server, how do I do it? Is
there any 'interface' for me to use?

In Windows 2003, there isnt an interface for administrators to "Check for Windows Updates managed by your system administrator" unlike in Windows 2008. (See screenshot on my first post)
In Windows 2003, I go to Tools > Windows Update and it is pointing me to microsoft's website.
Correct, In Windows 2003 you use the WUAUCLT.EXE command line utility, to perform client actions.
But that has *nothing* to do with how you *configure* the client, nor how you check the client's configuration. That is done exactly the same way regardless of which operating system is being used.
So when I say you know you're getting updates from WSUS by using the same method, that method is NOT looking at the WUApp applet in Control Panel, because that applet does NOT tell you that the client is getting updates from WSUS. It merely tells you that
some policy is in place that presumably tells the client to get updates from a WSUS server.
If you *really* want to know.... check the appropriate registry keys, or read the WindowsUpdate.log.... and that's done exactly the same way on every operating system.

Upgrade from a two tier EBS 11i 11.5.10.2 on Windows 2003 Apps and Windows 2008 R2 DB tier to two Tier R12.2.3 both on Windows 2008 R2

Hi,
Any ideas about the best practices for the migration/upgrade reflected with the below question?
I have a source EBS11i 11.5.10.2 running as a two tier configuration ( apps tier on server ora10 on Windows 2003, DB tier 11.2.0.2 on server ora1 on Windows 8 R2. Can I use the Note 1377213.1 for a migration to a two tier configuration ( apps tier on server T10 running Windows 2008 R2 and EBS 12.2.3 and DB tier running 11.2.0.4 on Windows 2008 R2 )? What alternative approach could you suggest? As far as I know EBS11i is not certified on Windows 2008 R2 and R12.2.0 is not certified on Windows 2003.

Yes you can by following "Application Tier Upgrades and Migrations" section -- Install 12.2 apps tier on 64-bit Windows and proceed with the upgrade.

Upgrade window 2003 to Window 2008 R2 approach (Moss 2007)

I have moss 2007 running window 2003 32 bit (1wfe and 1sql server). There quite a few customization that i dont know about. I need to move it to Window 2008 R2 or higher. Anyone have done this? I need a good approach with less risk and impact. I'll build
a new server in window 2008 R2 so it is not an in-place upgrade. I have Moss 2007 SP2, that will work on Window 2008 R2?

- make sure any/all customizations support 64-bit (for SP2007, this is especially true for iFilters, though occasionally WSP's as well)
- install 64-bit onto new server
- add to existing farm -Do you mean adding this using config wizzard?
- move all services from old server to new server - Do this in central admin? Can i just turn on on new server and leave it still on on the old server?
- redirect DNS
- disconnect old server from farm - Do you mean adding
this using config wizzard?
- disconnect old server from domain
- turn off old server
- celebrate

OS Migration from Windows 2003 cluster to Windows 2008 R2 MSCS

We want to go for windows 2008 R2 server ( 64-Bit) MSCS by migrating from windows 2003 Cluster ( 32- Bit) . We are running on ECC 6.0 and oracle 10.2.0.2 DB.
Is it possible ?
Is it traditional System copy if so how to migrate the cluster ?
Regards

> 2. If the oracle version is 10.2.0.2 then does it will support Windows 2008 R2.
You need at least 10.2.0.4 (you need to install that version with a separate DVD, you can't install with the normal Oracle DVD (10.2.0.1). See
Note 1303262 - Oracle on Windows Server 2008
Be aware of the fact that the normal standard support for 10.2.x is ending at end of july (you'll have to pay an extra maintenance fee if you continue to run that version) - see
Note 1110995 - Extended maintenance for Oracle Version 10.2
So if you now do a system copy to new hardware with a new os anyway, I would upgrade to 11.2.

Export to Excel alignment off after Windows 2003 upgrade

Hi All,
I have an application that uses Crystal Reports 10(sp6) and VB6 that has worked fine for a few years and now that I have upgraded the server to Windows 2003 the alignment of the excel output is off. All pages (45 of them) get printed on their own row in the output xls file. The report gets filled in during the execution of the VB6 executable and then gets exported to PDF and then to excel. PDF is fine but the excel output is unacceptable. I've been playing with the different exportoptions and cannot seem to get the alignment I need. Basically we need the rows and columns to align.
In further testing I have exported the report with data (our original rpt file is just a shell that we fill in with data) to a crystal reports file. I then have taken this report through the Crystal Reports 10 IDE and was able to export it and the output looks exactly like I need it to. So I'm sure there is settings to accomplish the output.
This is the original code:
With My_Crystal_Report
    .ExportOptions.Reset
    .ExportOptions.FormatType = crEFTExcelDataOnly
    .ExportOptions.ExcelMaintainColumnAlignment = False
    .ExportOptions.ExcelUseFormatInDataOnly = True
    .ExportOptions.ExcelConstantColumnWidth = CDbl(800)
    .ExportOptions.DestinationType = crEDTDiskFile
    .ExportOptions.DiskFileName = filePath & ".xls"
    .Export (False)
End With
Here are the settings when I run the report through the Crystal Reports 10 IDE:
- Custom: Data is exported according to selected options
- Constant column width (in points): 36.0
- Export object formatting
- Maintain relative object position
- Maintain column alignment
One thing I was wondering is that there are different versions of Visual Studio including VS2008 and I was wondering if the Crystal Reports that gets installed with them could be interfering.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is there a setting that I'm missing in the code, registry, etc.
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Hi,
The only other difference I found as far as I could see was the following two files:
CRXF_XLS.dll
CRXF_XLS_RES_EN.dll
Once loaded into the bin directory they are no longer a difference but output is still the same.
There are other differences as far as Only In CRW32.EXE (only Crystal Reports differences by description)
CRXF_HTML.DLL 10.0.5.75
CRXF_HTML_RES_EN.DLL 10.0.5.75
CRXF_RTF.DLL 10.0.5.604
CRXF_RTF_RES_EN.DLL 10.0.5.604
CRXF_WORDW.DLL 10.0.5.604
CRXF_WORDW_RES_EN.DLL 10.0.5.604
U2FCR.DLL 10.0.0.552
U2FTEXT.DLL 10.0.5.604
X3FCREN.DLL 10.0.0.552
X3FTXEN.DLL 10.0.5.603
Do you think that a possible way to fix this would be to I uninstall Crystal Reports and reinstall without the sp6 and then find out which sp was installed on current windows 2000 server and install that and see what I receive for output?
I have been spending way to much time on this and really need to bring the customer in so that they know we have this level of an issue. Do you also think maybe we should open a ticket? I don't know if this is feasible as you mentioned there is no support for Crystal Reports 10.
Thanks,
Jim

Windows 2003 Upgrade

Hi Team,
Can we upgrade from windows 2003 to 2012 ?
We have 300, 2003 Servers we need to upgrade to 2008 or 2012. Now question is what are the steps I have to think before start to execute the process . i have to send a document to my manager about my plan. Currently I don't have any information about the
client infrastructure. Kindly provide few details what are the steps I have to take care.

You may have trouble going from 2003 to 2013, it's not directly supported, others have asked:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/7749e559-94c7-44aa-b1f8-ef9abda5f747/inplace-upgrade-from-windows-2003-r2-to-2012
Beyond that, there's a good chance that many of those 2003 boxes will be x86 and cannot be directly upgraded to a x64 operating system such as 2008R2 or above.
I wouldn't recommend considering going to an older operating system than that. I'd suggest that you have a large task in front of you provisioning new servers with 2012 or 2012 R2 installed from scratch and migrating services to them.

Adding x64 drivers on a Windows 2003 R2 32bitserver, PS drivers asks for ntprint.inf

I have a bunch of 2003 R2 32bitservers on my branch offices. We have quite a printers that fails when I add 64bit drivers as additional drivers. In general, PCL seem to work fine and PS fails during install.
I go for additional drivers on my HP 4000ps share and I add hpdj4000serieswx64ps\hpi4000v.inf
The installation then begins and in the end pops up with:
Please insert the Windows Server 2003 family (x64 processor) disk.
It seem to ask for E:\amd64\NTPRINT.INF file .
I try directing the "locate file" to my Windows 2003 R2 64bit share where I have the amd64\NTPRINT.inf file, however it just fails and asks over and over for this file. What do I do wrong.
The same happens on other PS drivers. E.g. Xerox WC7245.

Hi,
I've faced the same issue.. but finally resolved.
We have SBS 2003R2 x86 and some clients x64 OS (Win 8.0) remaining are x32 clients
I'm using Win 8 x64 and RSAT for server management
In this scennario I was using Unified driver
What I did:
1. Added printer and Installed x86 driver on SBS box directly (through RDP)
2. Opened Print Management on x64 client (RSAT package) and browsed for Printer on SBS
3. Upon right click on printer and select properties, it said that I don't have a driver installed for this device and asked me to install it.
4. from here it was straightforward... browsed for the same unified driver on my computer that I used on SBS
5. Install is succeeded, x64 driver is added to the printer, shared on SBS.
Hope, this helps anyone who facnig this issue...

Flex 2 After Windows 10 upgrade from Windows 8.1

After upgrading to Windows 10, below are some glitches encountered:1. Motion Control doesn't work2. Veriface ( face recognition login function ) unable to work, and at Windows 10 the Settings for sign in, there was no Windows Hello either for face sign-in option3. Keyboard: @ becomes " and vice versa when shift button is pressed. Currently these are the issues i faced right after upgrade.Please advise if there are solutions.

The first two items will likely require driver updates. Unfortunately windows hello face recognition requires an Intel real sense 3D camera.
As for the last one, the UK keyboard layout has the @ and " symbols switched, so check region and language settings.

Replace Windows 2003 DC with Windows 2012 R2 Foundation

Hi
We are a small office (7 users) that currently have one Windows 2003 Server configured as a domain controller running DNS,DHCP and file services for users. All computers (7) are joined into local domain. All users have mapped drives to 2003 server shares
and redirected (offline) folders for my-documents configured.
Due to an old hardware, we decided to buy a new server with Windows 2012 R2 FOUNDATION licence. For our company I thing this will be the best choice, since Foundation has CAL's 'included' in license, and for our requirements will be more than enough.
Foundation server limit is that server must be the root domain controller in a domain that has no trusts at the root of the forest. My question is how can we 'replace' old server with a new one (what are the steps) ? I'm thinking the following scenario:
- install server and promote it to a DC with a new local domain name in the new forest
- copy all data from old server the the new one
- put all computers out of old domain and put them back into the new domain that is running on 2012 foundation.
- power off old server
Most of the work will be with computers, that need to be reconfigured to a new domain ?
Is this the right approach, are there any other (better) options ?
Just thinking... Is it possible to join 2012 Foundation into existing domain, than transfer all roles from old server to the new one, and at the end demote old server and power it off (I know this is standard approach in Windows Server Standard editions
Thank you in advance
Mike

Hi,
There is no necessary to create a new domain. we can add the new DC to your current domain, then transfer FSMO, related settings and main service roles to the new DC.
Reference the link provided by Alceryes to add Windows Server 2012 R2 to your current domain. and then reference link below for

For DNS migration, install DNS server role on Windows Server 2012 R2, and configure it as secondary DNS servers to the old DNS servers. Do replication, once completed, change it from secondary to primary. Remove old server and also clear their record in
new DNS. Checklist: Migrate a DNS Server(also applied for WS 2012 R2), for your reference:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755303.aspx
It is better to do a test lab and backup related data before migration in your current environment.

Windows 10 Upgrade via Windows Media Creation Tool ; Clean Installation

I installed Windows 10 via Media tool in usp. I cleared my hard drive partition, the Recovery and System Partition, for me to be able to install Windows 10. It went smoothly until it asks for the product key. I had Genuine Windows 8.1 with bing, and I recently bought the laptop. Is there any possible way to obtain a product key? After all, Windows 10 upgrade is for free for Genuine Windows and I had one.

Thank you for your reply. The machine I am writing you on is the machine. I cloned the drive . However I have a new drive I want to due a clean install on. At first I needed a key. I have no idea where it is located. On the back of the machine next to the win 8 lable it says itis located in the battery compartment. There are quite a new numbers and letter combinations there but none of them say product key. Also I was told it is imbedded into the motherboard. Any ideas on that?

Windows 7 upgrade to Windows 10

Greetings. I have reserved my Windows 10 copy a long time ago. I tried upgrading my Windows 7 to Windows 10, the laptop meets the requirements.While upgrading, I have encountered the following problem.The upgrade was successful, operating system changed to Windows 10, BUT all my drivers have disappeared, all HP software has disappeared. I couldn't connect my laptop to the Internet in any possible way, there weren't any network drivers. Also in the Control Panel, Network and Internet options I tried to change Adapter Settings, but there wasn't any possible connection there, it was all empty...I tried to bring over some drivers from another PC using a flash-drive, but I couldn't install it, because it says .NET Framework 3.5 is needed for that. I tried to get that as well and bring it over to my laptop, but in order to install net framework 3.5 it said it needs net framework 3.5 itself... ? How do I successfully upgrade to Windows 10 without losing the abilty to connect to the Internet?

Hii, Sounds like you bypassed many steps during the upgrade 1. The upgrade will ask you do you want to keep ALL setups on your setup, applications ...2. After the first reboot, it will ask you your wireless network name and password Please use the following information to upgrade: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 Regards,FYI. I upgrade 5 laptops over the weekend, no problem so far. I will do other laptops and my children laptops early next month.

Finger print reader not working 'post' Windows 10 upgrade from windows 7

Ok I have succumbed to upgrading to Windows 10 as I did to Windows 8, perhaps this time I won't 'rollback' but already things don't look good . As a part of the upgrade the Windows 10 the installer spat about the HP Protect Tools Security Manager and asked me to uninstall in order to proceed with the upgrade. I started to get a little concerned from this point on that I would lose my fingerprint reader as a result of going to Win 10 and low and behold that’s happened. It was only after following several threads online that I originally got the fingerprint reader working on windows 7. I went in and out of the BIOS resetting this and that but in the end despite having all the HP drivers for the readers (latest ones) the only thing that ‘fixed’ my fingerprint reader was the installation of the HP Protect Tools Security Software. So the question is where’s the Windows 10 version of the HP Protect Tools Security Software or the ‘fix’ is there one?? Hate to think an operating system is blocking such a great HP laptop feature!

I want to upgrade from windows7 to windows10 (probook 4350s) I have the same question about compatible version, which I hope HP or somebody answer soon and help us...I also cant uninstall my protect tools as upgrade needs me to.I want to know is it possible for finger scanner to work in windows10 after uninstalling HPPTM. thanks,Nazanin Mirzabeigi

Can't run windows install/upgrade within windows installed on boot camp

I have an issue which seems to be something related to the new version of boot camp. I have installed Win7 on my mac, but my disc is special which requires it to be used as an upgrade. I am able to install it on a formatted partition but can't activate it until I run windows 7 setup again within windows and "Upgrade" itself. I cannot run windows setup within boot camp win7. I get the message: "Windows was unable to create a required installation folder. Error code: 0x80070005"
The reason I say "new" version of boot camp is because I found old solutions to this problem where you just have to uninstall the boot camp stuff from Windows, but you can no longer do that it seems.
Does anyone have a clue as to how I can get around this and do the upgrade?

Even though it worked fine with the old motherboard setup? Before I tried installing windows 98 and ME, it would automatically run scandisk and it didn't report any errors.
