Windows 2008? Mainstream Support of Windows 2003 ends13.07.2010

Hello,
Window Server 2008 for TVN is not supported at present - does any one know a date?
Mainstream Support of Windows 2003 is finished at 13. Juli 2010.
Afterwards there is "Extended Support".....
Best regards
Jürgen

Hi Jürgen,
I was in Nakisa HQ a couple of weeks ago and they said there was no date yet for this. It has to go through some certain tests in order to be certified on this platform. It may work but there is unlikely to be any support for any issues that are OS related.
Cheers,
Luke

Does Xcelsius 2008 really support office xp/2003

Hi,
I checked the installation guide for xcelsius 2008, it shows that it support office xp/2003 and 2007.
But when i tried to install on office xp it just aborted with office incompatible error.
So Does Xcelsius 2008 really support office xp/2003?
If yes then why it throws me incompatible error message, do i need to make any change?
Thanks,
Nimesh.

Hi,
I found solution for this.
Below are the steps:
1.     Go to Start > Run. Start the registry editor by entering 'regedit'.
2.     Select the folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and navigate to \Software\Microsoft\Office\
     a.     Create an 11.0 folder, if it doesn't exist, by selecting Edit > New > Key from the menu.
     b.     Create a subfolder called PowerPoint
     c.     Create a subfolder under PowerPoint called InstallRoot
     d.     You should now have the folder structure listed below:
          HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\PowerPoint\InstallRoot
     e.     From the InstallRoot folder create a string value called "Path" by selecting Edit > New > String Value
     f.     Select the newly created Path value and select Edit > Modify.
     g.     Under the Value Data field enter "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\"
     h.     Click OK.
Thanks,

Windows 2008 R2 domain controllers with Windows 2003 forest functional level Supported after Windows 2003 support ends in July 2015

Hi
Anyone knows whether Windows 2008 R2 domain controllers with Windows 2003 forest functional level will still be Supported after Windows 2003 support ends in July 2015 ?
Thanks

When Windows Server 2003 support ends, you should not have a Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller running if you would like to be supported by Microsoft. This means that there will be no reason to have a DFL or FFL that is lower than Windows Server 2008.
So, if you are keeping Windows Server 2003 FFL to keep DCs running Windows Server 2003 then this is not supported.

Restore Exchange 2007 SP3 to Windows 2008 R2 from Windows 2003

Perhaps I'm being dense, but I had Exchange 2007 SP3 installed on a Windows 2003 Server, and I've used "setup /mode:recoverserver" to restore it to a Windows 2008 R2 server... how do I restore the databases which I backed up with the Windows backup tool
on 2003?
I installed KB974674, the restore tool onto the 2008 R2 server but when I try and restore the backup it comes up with "this feature is no longer supported". Something I'm missing here?

These things marked as answers are not answers.
I have now thoroughly tested using setup /mode:recoverserver and it works fine going from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2 with Exchange 2007 SP3, done several installations now without a problem.
"Setup /m:RecoverServer cannot be used across operating systems. A server that was originally running Windows Server 2003 can be recovered only on Windows Server 2003, and a server that was originally running Windows Server 2008 can
be recovered only on Windows Server 2008."
This appears to be wrong, unless someone can tell me why it's right (I haven't tried moving Unified Messaging yet). I've done it to 2008 R2 several times now and also in the other direction, from 2008 R2 to 2003, I can't find anything that didn't work
afterward, although I haven't really thoroughly tested OWA yet, I admit (but it does appear to be working).
I think that documentation is out-of-date as it doesn't mention R2 plus I think it was written before SP3 came out and that paragraph is just wrong.
Basically how I do it is like this:
Dismount databases from the 2003 server and copy the storage group folders to a network location or removable media.
Install the Windows 2008 R2 server using the same machine account that was being used by the 2003 server. Install the prerequisites needed for Exchange 2007 SP3 installation on 2008 R2 (note in addition to the IIS components and RPC over HTTP this
also requires the AD tools in RSAT, which I haven't found mentioned in technical documentation). Install the relevant windows updates.
Install Exchange 2007 SP3 using setup /mode:recoverserver Install the update rollup.
Copy the storage groups into the relevant folders on the new server and mount them. Migrate any relevant certificates (e.g. for ActiveSync).
Obviously then check it all over with the diagnostic tools and check it with EXBPA. The backups are obviously totally different, but really I think you should be using DPM anyway.
To me that was pretty easy to do, to be honest. About 1.5 on a scale of one to ten. Basically install it, recover it, copy over some files and mount them.
Seriously on a halfway decent server I've done it in under an hour.

Windows 2003 SP2 = 2008 R2 SP1 Upgrade 62% Rollback

Hello,
we have to upgrade our Windows Server 2003 SP2 x64 (DC), to Windows 2008 R2 SP1.
Unfortunately, a clean install is not an option.
The server is a virtual machine. Therefore, first we make a clone, for a test upgrade, of the server.
Adprep and domainprep was successful. Problematic Software: Acronis, DaemonTools, Kasperksy.. is uninstalled.
Will upgraded with a clean iso, downloaded from the VLSC.
All Windows 2003 updates have been installed and a clean-boot (msconfig : MS services, no startup items), was done.
During the upgrade, we download the installation updates (Get important updates for installation).
The environment variable MIG_UPGRADE_IGNORE_PLUGINS = IphlpsvcMigPlugin.dll was already tried in another upgrade.
We have the setupact.log (33MB) from the \$Windows folder.~ BT\Sources\Panther\ . But can't found the error.
The Upgrade stops at 62%:
Then the server reboots and performs a rollback :
What can we do?
Regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
Stopped at 62% is a common issue which could be caused by many factors.
First I suggest you to remove all unnecessary devices like printer, USB device etc.
Also try to uninstall drivers for hardware devices. I noticed that many applications are already deleted in troubleshooting process so check if any unnecessary program still exists.
If issue still exists, try check disk and SFC.
The last option is to perform an in-place upgrade with Windows Server 2003 and try the 2008 upgrade again.
We
are trying to better understand customer views on social support experience, so your participation in this
interview project would be greatly appreciated if you have time.
Thanks for helping make community forum a great place.

OBIEE 11.1.1.5 on windows 2003/2008-64 bit &certification matrix confusion

Dear Friends,
Please let me know that whether OBIEE 11.1.1.5 can be installed on windows 2003/2008 (64 bit) servers?
The reason is I could see 11.1.1.5 downloads for Windows/ Linux/solaris ...
But in the certificatiomn matrix (excel file - bi-11gr1certmatrix-166168.xls) when I look for 11.1.1.5+ i could see the supported platforms are solaris,HP-unix and Exa logic
but for 11.1.1.3+ i could see the supported platforms are windows/linux/solaris/HP-unix....
Same thing for supported browsers
11.1.1.3+ supports IE,Firefox whereas
11.1.1.5+ supports only safari
I really what to know where does the OBIEE 11.1.1.5 version fits in
11.1.1.3+
(or)
11.1.1.5+
which one i have to consider?
Please clarify
Regards,
DB

Hi,
OBI 11.1.1.5 is certified for Windows 2003/2008 64bit. The + (plus sign) must be interpreted as 'and above'. So Windows 2003 64 bit is certified for 11.1.1.3 and above (like 11.1.1.5).
With the release of 11.1.1.5 additional platforms are certified (like Solaris), those are listed as from 11.1.1.5 and above.

R12 Cloning from Windows 2003 64 bit to Windows 2008 R2 64 bit

Dear Gurus,
I have a 12.1.3 applications and 11.2.0.2 database running on Windows 2003 *64 bit*. Now I need to perform a migration from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2 64 bit. Please confirm if we can directly perform a clone from 2003 64 bit to 2008 R2 64 bit using Rapid clone?
Thanks in advance!

Upgrade Multiple servers from windows 2003 to 2008

Hi All,
How could i upgrade all my servers (1000 around) from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2 without loosing system settings, profiles and applications.
Your speedy reply is highly appreciated.

Since Windows Server 2008 R2 only supports 64-bit the first thing to check is that all of your 2003 boxes are running 64-bit Windows. If they are then an in-place upgrade is possible, but if they're running 32-bit Windows then there is no way to directly
upgrade them. Your only option with 32-bit Windows 2003 is to either upgrade to 2008 (which does support 32-bit), or migrate everything to a new server.
Other than that, the question then becomes what are those servers running. If they're running Microsoft services then it should be fairly straight forward, but if they're running 3rd party services then you need to check with the 3rd party company whether
their software (or more specifically the version of their software you currently have installed) supports 2008 R2.
For the Windows services there are some differences, but I believe the upgrade process handles the transition for you for the most part. Have a look at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff972408(v=ws.10).aspx which details the process, and goes into the changes for each of the main Windows Server roles, and those things
you need to be aware of. As mentioned in that article, when you start the upgrade process you're offered a link to a compatibility report which will tell you if there's anything on the server which will break or cause issues with the upgrade. View that report
and review what it tells you before you start the upgrade. You may find that some tools, addons etc need to be uninstalled or upgraded before you can start the actual upgrade, but if the report gives you the green light you should be fine to continue without
any issues.
Finally, from the wording of your question I'm guessing you're wondering about getting the servers upgraded at the same time? Personally I'm not aware of any way to do that, but even if one did exist I wouldn't do it. There's too much of a chance that something
will go wrong, probably in some small minor way, but if you've just tried to upgrade all the servers at the same time, when you get reports telling you that something is no longer working you'll have a much harder time working out what caused it than if you
know that only servers a, b and c have been upgraded today, so the issue is likely to be with one of those.

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.

Support for Windows 2003 on AGS 2.1

I've been trying to find out if AGS2.1 is supported on Windows 2003 and 2003 SP1. The installation and configuration guide document for AGS 2.0 states that the minimum system requirements are either Windows 2000 Server or NT 4.0 Server with SP6a.
Would greatly appreciate if anyone can confirm if support extends to Windows 2003 and 2003 SP1 as well.
Thanks
Richard

I am interested in the same thing. How about windows server 2008? Richard, did you ever get an answer??

Remote desktop connection limit in windows 2003 administration as well as in the mixed environment of windows 2003 and 2008 servers

RDP protocol i.e. Remote desktop connection is configured to perfrom and manage software administration of ORACLE application and database servers which runs on windows 2003 server. Two sessions are allowed on each of these servers for database
administrators. The question is:
a) if network administrators who perform window server administration (50+) are included in
2 sessions limit or do they manage all these servers through Console Session which is separate from the remote desktop connection limits of 2 sessions.
b) How is the 2 sessions limit prescribed by microsoft (more of a licensing limit) handled in the mix environment of windows 2003 and 2008 server where all these servers are managed on the VMWARE?
avnish sharma

Hi Avnish,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
By default any windows server will provide 2 remote session for administration purpose only. No matter which administrator is accessing that server. If you will connect the console session then 3.One server is accessed by 3 Session (console + Remote +
Remote). When the particular server reached this limit then any working administrator will receive a message to log out as other user trying to access the session or if we had provided the setting then new user is restricted to login.
If you want more than 2 remote desktop session than you need to purchase TS\RDS CAL, install TS\RD Licensing role, activate it first and then configure CAL on it. There are 2 types of CAL available (USER & DEVICE). You can purchase CAL according to your
company requirements.
Hope it helps to understand!
Thanks.
