Windows sbs 2003 sp1, windows server 2008 R2

I have windows sbs2003 sp1 & windows 2008 R2 Licenses...I want to setup ERP application with SQL on windows 2008 R2, Terminal server windows 2008 R2 for RDP & Ncomputing & E-mail server for Internal and external use. I have IBM Server with
XEON processor and 24 GB RAM.
I am using VMware ESXI 5.5 for virtulisation and installed one instance of WINDOWS SBS 2003 with Exchange for DC & EMAIL...and 2008 R2 one instance as member server for Application server ( ERP with SQL Express ) and another instance with Terminal server
and other application.
Above set up is not working smooth as it was expected..some times DC fails and so Exchange...Can you suggest any better alternative or correct method of implementation.

Hi
You should separate Exchange and DC on the same server and introduce a second DC incase the first one goes down.
Perhaps install Exchange on server 2008 r2.

SBO with Windows SBS 2003 Premium (SQL Server)

Hi!
Sorry for my poor English, I'm french. We have signed for SBO but have a little doubt with our Server OS. We have Windows 2003 Small Business Server Premium (with SQL Server 2000). I don't know exactly the version of SQL (I think Workgroup or Standard).

I don't have any problem with that version.

T200v Server with Windows SBS 2003

Just ordered a TS200v Server, can I install Windows SBS 2003 on this Server or will I need to upgrade to Windows SBS 2008?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello,
SBS2003 is not officially supported, I think only 2008 is. You can try but might be issue with some drivers.

We have single windows SBS 2003 32 bit server with AD to run database as well as application of the Company. We are planning to add one more server to the network with SBS 2008 64 bit for load balancing. I just confused that two SBS servers are not compatible
in the SBS network. my requirement is to balance the database and application request load balancing along with fail over management with two Servers in the network.
Please let me know the procedure to add the SBS 2008 64 bit server as Additional Domain Controller to SBS 2003 32 bit PDC so that ADC to take role if PDC fails.

Migrate SBS 2003 to Windows Server 2012 Standard

We currently have two servers (SBS 2003 Standard utilizing Exchange 2003; Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard with SQL 2005).
We want to retire the SBS or maybe both.
We have purchased a new server (Windows Server 2012 Standard with licenses for Exchange 2013 and SQL 2012).
Is there a whitepaper that describes how to migrate SBS 2003 to Windows Server 2012 Standard?
Is it possible to run Exchange 2013 on the Windows Server 2012 box? In Hyper-V? If Exchange can run in a virtualized instance, do we need additional licensing to run another instance of Windows Server 2012 Standard?
Can we run SQL 2012 on the same Windows Server 2012 box?
We have about 35 users.

Sal,
Migration went fine. Steps i took:
Join 2012 Standard server as member.
Migrated roles.
I ended up manually creating new shares. The old environment was a mess.
Robocopy data/verified.
Seize FSMO roles

SharePoint 2003 and SQL Server 2008

Can the SharePoint 2003 SQL Server 2000 database (backend) be migrated to SQL Server 2008? In other words, we want to use SharePoint 2003 with SQL Server 2008.
Thank you.

Hi there
I can confirm that SharePoint 2003 SQL Server 2000 Databases can be backed up and restored to SQL 2008 R2.
Stop all services and web on your SharePoint server before the move.
Backup all your SQL 2000 databases.
Restore them on your new SQL 2008/R2 database server
Setup a SQL Alias (make sure you DONT set the alias to 'Dynamic Port' or you may get the error below) on the SharePoint servers and after restarting SharePoint everything worked 100%.
Kind regards
Riccardo
Error if using Dynamic port on Alias .
If you move the SharePoint Portal Server 2003 databases to another computer
that is running SQL Server 2000, you may receive an error message that is
similar to the following when you try to access the portal site:
Array cannot be null.
Parameter name: Source
For example, you receive this error message when you click the link that is
displayed on the Web Parts Maintenance page. This error message may not be
caused by a Web Part issue. You may receive this error message in situations
when the TCP port that SQL Server 2000 uses is different from the TCP port
that SQL Server 2000 used on the original computer. Use Client Network
Utility to verify that the port that SQL Server 2000 uses is correct.
PS. Please remember to mark your question as answered if you got good advice.

Windows SBS 2003 to Server 2012 Essentials R2

I am tasked with upgrading from an existing SBS 2003 server to 2012 R2 Essentials. Currently the 2012 box is on the network, fresh install but I'm encountering issues from there. I joined it to the domain and now when it boots up it goes through the process
of configuring it to the domain. However, it simply stops with the error "Configuration Encountered Some Issues". Could someone provide some guidance? Thanks!

Hi Kieran S,
As Robert mentioned, did you refer to any migration guide?

-->it simply stops with the error "Configuration Encountered Some Issues".
Please refer to Paul's suggestion and check if help you to solve this configuration issue. In addition, you can also refer to following KB.

Problems in connecting to Windows SBS 2003 server from OSX 10.5.x

Hi there
Out of many Macs (all 10.5.4) in our network, I have been able to authenticate others to the Active Directory and share File services of the Windows Small Business Server (SBS) 2003. But one is having problems. They have authenticated to the active directory correctly from Directory utility.
But when I try to access the SBS server, there is a message "Connecting to smb://myserver..." displayed for indefinite time. Also, I don't find the smb listed in Directory utility. Is that a problem? If so, how can it be fixed? I searched Internet but couldn't find a way to download smb client.
Please help.

It certainly works for me although I have 10.5.2. No special settings, just server address, username and password and it connects. To confirm I just tried it once more a moment ago by creating a new VPN configuration. No problems at all. Is your problem related to a single computer or is it so that now 10.5 computers can connect?

Windows SBS 2003

Just got a TS 140. (0A4 I can not get SBS 2003 to load. I've tried a bare metal restore and even tried the install disk. Both methods seem to be pointing at the hardware controller, (M5015).
Any and all info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Technically, I don't see that any RAID controllers are certified for the TS140! (not that I see) That is sort of what started this thread.
As for the SBS 2003, It just flat out won't work. It loads files for Windows but gets a blue screen when trying to install. The error points at the controller (I think), however, I tried it without the controller and it gets the same error.
It does like SBS 2008, a little better, but not much. I can at least get the install to start, but never finish. One issue being it won't recognize any NIC driver. Also, it usually will not boot the same way twice.
Windows 7 and Server 2012 both seem to install properly. Neither of those, however, give me an easy migration from SBS 2003.

How to access the datasource window in SSRS for sql server 2008 R2 for writing my query without having to go through the wizard?

I have used SSRS a lot years ago with Sql Server 2000 and Sql Server 2005. I have written external assemblies, ... But now I have to do this with Sql Server 2008 (R2 -- which I realize I am way behind the times already but ...) in sql server 2000 and
2005 there was a tab for datasource to the left of the tab for design which was to the left of the preview tab. How do I get to the datasource window in sql server 2008 (r2) ?
I see that datasource explorer. But where can I get to the datasource window to edit my queries and so forth for sql server 2008 (R2)?
Thanks
Rich P

I think I found the answer to my question --- just right-click on the the Data Sources or Datasets for editing connections and dataset queries. I'm guessing it gets even fancier with Sql Svr 2012 - 2014. Man, that's the one thing
about coding platforms -- you let it go for a few years and come back, and everything has changed (well, a lot of things). Now I need to figure out how to add an external assembly to SSRS 2008 (R2).

Windows 7 (Ent) Sp1 on server 2012 R2 HyperV, RFX USB redirection not working

Hello,
I currently have windows server 2012 R2 with HyperV installed. I have built two virtual machines. A windows 8.1 and Windows 7 sp1. Both are enterprise editions
For RemoteFX the hypervisor is using a Zotec GTX 760 GPU. It recognizes it and uses it to apply remoteFX adapter on my Windows 7 Sp1 VM.
As you are aware I do not need to use a GPU to enable RFX on my Windows 8.1 it can do this without the need of a GPU.
Using an RDP client( v8.1) I can connect to my Windows 8.1 VM with a USB headset,memory Key or a printer and they all enumerate on the Virtual machine. The driver for each device installs
and I can use the device without any issues.
However this issue lies with the Windows 7 SP1 VM. I can connect to it via RDP( Same client) but I cannot redirect any devices to it. I have installed the latest integration services available on the VM. I have ran all updates available.
Because I have ran all updates the rdp version on the VM is running v8.1.
Previous to installing the updates USBr still was not working
I have enabled the following group polices under remote desktop services on the Windows 7 SP1 VM :
RDP 8.0 -- Enabled
Configure RFX -- Enabled
Is there a known issue with USB redirection not working on a Windows 7sp1 virtual machine hosted on server 2012 Hypervisor ??
Many Thanks
Brian

Hi,
According to the log above, I found that we run the script on both Server6 and Server7. Errors as below:
Server6: Conversion is not supported in restricted language mode or a Data section.
Server7: Couldn't figure out valid servers from the specified destination scope. Check your parameters and try again.
Since we can only run the RollAlternateserviceAccountPassword.ps1 Script on CAS server, the script not works well if Server6 is MBX server.
For Server7, based on the error message, it seems you still have no right to run the script/cmdlet.
Please add your account to Organization Management Role group(ADUC->domain.com->Microsoft Exchange Security Groups) to test if possible.
By the way, from Technet:
You need to be assigned permissions before you can perform this procedure. To see what permissions you need, see the "Client Access Security" entry in the Client Access Permissions topic.

Windows CE7 Client for SQL Server 2008

I am trying to get a WinCE 7 device communicating with my Microsoft SQL Server 2008 database and am a little lost of how to do this. I do not want to have to develop any code, I already have code to update
the DB, I just need to establish a connection.
Has anyone been successful with this? I have tried making a new network connection but it was not successful. Any help would be appreciated

What have you concretely done so far?
It also strongly depends on you development environment.

MOSS 2007 SP1 & SQL Server 2008 upgrade plan into MOSS 2010 and SQL Server 2008 R2 ?

Hi All,
I've got the following setup in one single server:
Windows Server 2008 Standard
SQL Server 2008 Standard
SharePoint Server 2007 Enterprise SP1
that I'd like to upgrade into the following:
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard
SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 ?
SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise
can i just perform CA farm level backup then import it on the new SharePoint server ? is there any caveat that i should pay attention to ? (eg. non working site list or web parts ? )
thanks.
/* Infrastructure Support Engineer */

Backup/import will not work for upgrade. As mentioned on the other thread, you need to perform a database attach upgrade to move to a separate 2010 from from a 2007 farm. For information about upgrading to SharePoint Server 2010, see the upgrade guide:

SCOM 2012 SP1 SQL Server 2008 R2 Clustering Monitoring?

We have a new print management system that was setup using SQL server 2008 R2 clustering. Right now we have SQL MP (monitoring)(discover) 6.3.173.1. They had a failover occur a week ago and SCOM didnt throw any alerts. As a temporary
fix, I found some correlated events and setup a monitor for those events on the servers. However, the system owner wants to know if there is a MP that will monitor for a SQL cluster failover event. I have looked and looked and cant seem to find
anything that gives a whole lot of detail on this.
Thanks
EFD
Warm Fuzzies!

Yes, you can monitor SQL Cluster 2008 using SCOM 2012 SP1. but you need to install SQL MP and Windows Cluster MP and Enable proxy Agent on physical nodes.
You can refer below link {it's same for SCOM 2012}

Need NL setupdisc Windows SBS 2003 NL to deinstall Exchange and Demote server

Hi,
To finally demote and phase out a good old Windows 2003 SBS server, we need to uninstall Exchange 2003 first. For deinstallation the deinstallation proces needs the second (2) Windows Small Business 2003 setup CD to complete this
step.
Problem is that we don't have the original CD's. Because it's an Dutch Windows version, do I need the Dutch CD also? Without the CD i can't deinstall Exchange 2003. Maybe CD number 2 can be downloaded from the internet? Old Trial maybe? Any help would
be great!

Hi
Best would be to find a reseller in your area to help you out with disks. i had the same problem as well and they came to my rescue.
Hope this helps. Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.
