Zenworks to SCCM before Exchange migration??

We are currently a Novell shop and will be moving to all Microsoft in the next year. With that said, would you recommend having SCCM in production before migrating from Groupwise to Exchange?

Totally unrelated products. The order does not matter. It could even be done in parallel.

Generic Groupwise to Exchange Migration Advice

Good afternoon folks, I am after some general advice/guideance on a migration project that I am about to start working on.
We're taking a Novell eDirector/Groupwise environment to Microsoft AD/Exchange...I know there's tools/utils that will do the migration but I am just after some general real world experiences/gotcha's etc.
The AD will be a nice new Win2008 R2 AD so first question is, what order should I approach this in..
Build new AD
Install Exchange
Migrate User Accounts/Data
Migrate Groupwise to Exchange
or
Build new AD
Install Exchange
Migrate Groupwise to Exchange
Migrate User Accouts/Data
To me the first looks more logical but I'm looking for advice from the trenches so to speak....
Also, what utils/tools would you recommend for the migration and co-existence?

Hello,
I think you can do migrate Groupwise to Exchange at last.
Here is one related document for you, hope can give you some help:

Bulk notification before mailbox migration

Hello,
I will start mailbox migration from Exchange 2010 to 2013 per databases. Can you please let me know how I can send out a bulk email notifications to the users in the mailbox database before the migration?
Thanks

$Boxes = Get-Mailbox -Database DB01
Foreach ($Box in $Boxes){Send-MailMessage -Subject "Migration" -Body "your being moved tonight"
-From "[email protected]" -To $Box.PrimarySmtpAddress -SmtpServer "smtp.domain.com"}
That should do it.

Exchange Migration Workflow down

Using Exchange 2013 CU6 Standard with 2 Server in a DAG. Both Servers with the same Patchlevel. Last night the "Microsoft Exchange Migration Workflow" goes down. When I try to restart the Service goes imidetly down again.
Application Event says every time: Event ID 4999 from Source "MXExchange Common":
Watson report about to be sent for process id: 10984, with parameters: E12IIS, c-buddy-RTL-AMD64, 15.00.0995.029, M.E.Diagnostics.Service, M.E.Diagnostics.PerformanceLogger, M.E.D.P.PerformanceLogSet.StartLog, System.ArgumentException, 95c6, 15.00.0995.012.
ErrorReportingEnabled: False
Mailbox-Migration only works on the second node where no problems with Migration Workflow Service detected.
Any ideas?

Hi
In my case the event 4999 shows:
Watson report about to be sent for process id: 12992, with parameters: E12IIS, c-RTL-AMD64, 15.00.0995.029, MSExchangeMigrationWorkflow, unknown, M.E.M.L.L.<>c__DisplayClass11.<GetLocalServerData>b__10, System.NullReferenceException, 49af,
unknown.
ErrorReportingEnabled: True
Does that solution apply too? or it has another problem?, because began to raise another events like 1001 from Windows Reporting:

SBS2011 Exchange Migration (Server configuration change is temporarily preventing access)

Greetings,
I 've begun an exchange migration from SBS2011 (Exch 2010) to 2013 Exchange. I am on this step of the deployment assistant, for reference, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/exdeploy2013/Checklist?state=2419-W-EQBEAgAAQAAAAQEAAQAAAAg~
I can login and access any users mailbox with the respective credentials if their mailbox is on the SBS exchange server.
Ive migrated a couple test users, and while I can access their owa box if I browse to the localhost of the 2013 server, I cannot access their mailbox internally nor externally if I go to the external FQDN of the owa site. All other users with mailboxes
still on the 2010 exchange work.
I get this message for those with mailboxes on the new server: A server configuration change is temporarily preventing access to your account. Please close all Web browser windows and try again in a few minutes. If the problem continues, contact your helpdesk.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi,
On current situation, please check if you move mailboxes to the new Database properly. Please refer to Olaf’s
solution in following thread and check if can help you.
OWA
not working after SBS2008 to SBS 2011 Migration
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.

SCCM 2007-2012 migration job

Hi,
We have an empty SCCM 2012 R2 environment (only testmachines in it).
Now I would like to migrate some first Windows 7 machines by pushing a SCCM 2012 client to it. Therefore first the collections and packages of SCCM 2007 should be migrated.
So I started an SCCM 2012 Collection migration job from SCCM 2007 to 2012:
1.Selected only the Windows 7 collections (only those should be migrated, not the XP ones)
2.selected software assigned to it (it comes from a DFS-share \\ourcompany\share
3.all with default values, except "Enable programs for deployment"
My questions:
1.It took only 10 minutes to complete (share is 100 GB) but I see now software is not distributed to distribution point.
=> Is that normal? Should I run distribute to distribution point for all packages are rerun migration job with differen values?
2.After step 1, I can now migrate a Windows 7 computer fro SCCM 2007 to 2012, right?
Everything looks fine to me. There is also the object migration but don't think I need it.Just want to doublecheck.
Please advise.
J.
Jan Hoedt

#1: that's default behavior. Packages are migrated, but not distributed to DPs automatically. That's up to you right now.
#2: yes, but that's independent from step #1. You can install the CM12 client to the clients anytime.

Replication before the migration

Hi Guys
my Domain controllers are the next
DC1 192.168.2.2 (2003)
DC2 192.168.2.3 (2003)
New domain
DC01 192.168.2.4 (2008)
DC02 192.168.2.5 (2008)
DC1 and DC2 are replicating over Failover ( DHCP, DNS..)
i want to know before i migrate the FSMO roles over to the New DC01, do i need to disable the replication before the migration or not ?
thank you

On the new DC can you post the output of:
dnscmd /enumdirectorypartitions
this is the output:
C:\Tools>dnscmd /enumdirectorypartitions

SCCM 2012 DB migration - certificate chain error

Hi all
I am having an issue with migrating an SCCM 2012 database to a new SQL instance that doesn't seem to be uncommon however have had no luck in resolving the issue with what other people have suggested on forums...I have an SCCM 2012 installation which currently
has the site database located on a co-located SQL 2012 instance. I am trying to migrate this database to a different SQL 2012 server with multiple named instances.
I have followed the instructions as per the following article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2013/04/02/how-to-move-the-configmgr-2012-site-database-to-a-new-sql-server.aspx
I have backed up and restored the database to the new instance as per the guide however when running the Configuration Manager Setup Wizard I am getting the following errors:
*** Failed to connect to the SQL Server, connection type: SMS ACCESS. Configuration Manager Setup 22/04/2015 11:51:10 AM 4428 (0x114C)

*** Failed to connect to the SQL Server, connection type: SMS ACCESS. Configuration Manager Setup 22/04/2015 11:51:13 AM 4428 (0x114C)
The errors will continue to pop up every 3 seconds for a few minutes before timing out and the wizard errors out.
I have tried as others suggested and performed the following with no luck:
- added the SCCM 2012 service account (account that I'm running the Config Manager wizard as) and computer account to the local administrators group on the SQL server
- given the SCCM 2012 service account (account that I'm running the Config Manager wizard as) sysadmin privileges to the SQL instance
- from our internal CA I've issued a certificate for the SQL server and installed it on both the SQL and SCCM server
- tried exporting the SCCM server cert from the SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER\Trusted People store and installed it into the Local Computer\Personal certificate store on the SQL server. Even tried installing it into the MSSQL$INST02\Personal store (INST02 being
the name of the SQL instance)
Articles that I've already referenced to try and fix this however without any luck:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/b5e1fc09-1f09-4de2-93c3-c0261fdda238/the-certificate-chain-was-issued-by-an-authority-that-is-not-trusted-when-migrating-to-sql-2012?forum=configmanagerdeployment#a294676b-d51a-4049-82cf-adde14f9711a

Does anyone have any suggestions? The ideal would solution for me would be to remove the need to use certificates for the connection to the SQL backend if that it at all possible.
Cheers
Brady

At this point I recommend that you connect Microsoft support CSS and ask them how to solve this problem.
IMO you shouldn't need the two certs from your internal CA but you will need the two cert from your site server.

Export data from database table before database migration

Hello,
We are planning to migrate our SAP ERP 6 Ehp4/NW7.01 from Oracle 11.2 to IBM DB2 v. 9.7 database. During test migrations I have established that we spend a lot of time for one particular table (COEP). Because we donu2019t have possibility to archive this table before migration I have an idea to export data from previous years from this table to the file system (using an ABAP report), delete those data from table before migration and then after migration, import back to the database from the file system.
Does anybody have any concerns or suggestions about this idea?
Thank you for your answers
Andrej

Hello Andrej,
I strongly do not recommend to do so.
I am not sure whether technically this could work at all..
Even it if would work .. In order to really save time, the export and the import would have to be a dirty one (meaning the system is operational and in production). With this there is a high risk to produce inconsistencies on this table. And you most likely will receive no support if something unforeseen happens and you end with problems.
Also your approach (if it should work at all) , would have to be tested thoroughly by you , also protecting the table from any changes.
I do not believe that this can save any effort compared to implementing advanced migration techniques like table splitting.
On top, you would go high risk to end with an unsupported system, with not using official migration procedures

Exchange Migration from One domain to another domain on same forest

Team,
we are in the process of migrating exchange infrastructure from one child domain to another child domain within same forest.
root domain - root.com
child domains - US.root.com and EMEA.root.com
EMEA and US Domains setup are different from each other. Like EMEA has different email address policy , Email Flow than US , connectors etc.
Now we need to migrate all emea users under US Domain. based on the geographical locations, we are building a new dc, mailbox , cas servers on EMEA location , but these servers will be part of US Domain.
for CAS Servers - we are planing to register respective sites ( site affinity), so all the local requests will be handled by new cas server which is built under US Domain.
Mailbox Servers - we would be creating new db's and the limits on new mbx server and going to replicate as its on EMEA Mailbox server.
can some one please let us know what are the precautions , recommendation, sequence which we need to follow to perform smoother migration. as of now , I can think of below topics.
Mailbox Migration -I Have a script , which
will take care of mailbox movement once the objects are being moved.
Contacts Migration - Willard Martin blog helped me to perform migration
DL Migration - I believe there is no mechanism to migrate DL. only option is to recreate.
Email address Policy:we would be creating a new address policy and apply to OU's
DB Consistency check – do we have to perform the health checks on source mailbox server to see , the servers are free from errors /corruption.
Check outlook configuration - After the migration, we need to check and see , the exchange server/ auto discover works and identify the new exchange servers.
Internal /External Email flow.-
Active Sybc , OWA
Public folder Migration -
Offline Address Book
Certificates
any help or suggestions would be great.

Hi Srinivasa,

SCCM 2012 R2 Migration - Clients being lost

I am in the process of migrating SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 R2. I had about 11 clients that all were working successfully for about a week. As of yesterday all are reporting as Client "No", client type "None" but with the site
code of the 2012 R2 server. If I check the clientlocation log file of one of the clients, I don't see it reporting to the old SCCM server or anything like that. SCEP definitions are still deploying successfully, however I can't deploy any packages
to any of the devices.
Any ideas where I should start looking?
* Edit: A software updates deployment I just made started and is asking for a reboot. However my client in SCCM still shows Client as No, Client type as None. Also, there is no information listed for Policy Request, Heartbeat DDR, Hardware
Scan, Software Scan, Management Point, etc. This information was there as of yesterday morning.

I think I figured this out. I had the 'Clear Install Flag' maintenance task set to run every Tuesday/Wednesday/Sunday between 12AM and 5AM for anything without a heartbeat within the last 4 days. Heartbeat Discovery was configured to only run
once a week. I think it just ended up clearing the install flag on my test clients.

SCCM 2012 R2 - Migration TS Failed in Release Request Step with Error Code 0x80004005

Hi
I have Upgraded my lab from SCCM 2012 SP1 to SCCM 2012 R2. Now, While I am running TS for Refresh/Replace Migration, its successfully captures all the Data & settings and can also restores all Data & settings, but at release request Step TS got failed.
In SMSTS log file error was "Release Request Failed with error code 0x80004005".
Is there any KB released by Microsoft to fix this issue?? Due to this issue I am unable to run any other TS.

I've seen a few weird scenarios with task sequences after an upgrade from SP1 to R2.
In most cases I've been able to fix these "problems" by simply creating a new task sequence, and copy all the custom steps to the new task sequence.
Also make sure to update boot images, mdt packages, usmt etc. to new versions.
So thats what I'd try first....

Ensure AD provisioning before Exchange

Hi,
We need to develop a workflow for Exchange provisioning in OIM11g. Use case: Requestor requests for Exchange and after necessary approvals, Exchange is provisioned. But since Exchange is dependent on AD, we need to make a check if AD is already assigned to user. If not, provision AD first followed up with Exchange. Now the issue is - When do we trigger AD provisioning? If we do it after approval is complete, Exchange will go into Waiting state (as per 10g) and it was not possible to recover from Waiting state in 10g (as per Oracle SR). Does Exchange behave similarly in v9.1.1.7 when integrated with OIM 11g? The second option that we are exploring is trigger AD provisioning via an embedded task in composite after apporval is complete but before response is sent back to OIM (that's called invoking web service, i guess. I am not too conversant with SOA terms). If we go by this option, how do we ensure that AD is indeed provisioned before Echange provisioning is triggered? If Waiting state issue does not exist and resource provisioning is auto initiated, that would be best possible scenario. What are other options possible? Please share your views.
Thanks.

On your Microsoft Exchange Connector, create another unconditional task that is marked as a preceding task for the Create Mailbox task. In this, using the oim apis, use the findObjects api to search through the user's existing resources. Find a provisioned/disabled/enabled instance of Active Directory for that user. If no instance found, return an appropriate error code. Otherwise, get the process form data information from that instance and get the object guid value. Using the APIs to set process form data on your Exchange instance process form, update the field with the object guid. This should return a completed status response code. You can also set a retry delay and counter on this task so that it will retry the task if the AD processing is still taking place.
With this task in place, your Exchange will be in a "Provisioning" state until this task completes validating that the user has a AD instance, and also is able to update the form with the object guid.

Exchange Migration 2010 to 2013 different AD domains....

Here's my situation, I have migrated our users AD accounts to a new domain (newDomain.corp), but still use the exchange server in our old domain (oldDomain.corp) with linked mailboxes, which work fine.
I am now to the point where I want to decommission our old 2010 exchange server in the old domain, or at least have the users mailboxes on a new Exchange 2013 box belonging to the new domain.
I am looking for the best way to migrate the users mailboxes from the EXCH01oldDomain.corp (2010 Exchange server) to the new exchange 2013 server EXCH01.newDomain.corp, yet still have both servers online serving mailbox roles for users for a limited
time. So basically, can i have 2 exchange servers from different domains serving the same users in newdomain.corp?
Free busy and calendaring all have to work.
Thanks!
richard

Hi Richard,
Please make sure the two-way trust between the new domain and old domain has been set up.
Generally, when we run New-MoveRequest cmdlet to move a mailbox from an Exchange source forest (Old domain) to an Exchange target forest (New domain), the target forest must contain a valid Mail-Enabled user account with the set of AD attributes.
Since the mailboxes in old Exchange 2010 are all linked mailbox
which have Mail-enabled user accounts in new forest, we can directly move the mailbox from old Exchange 2010 to new Exchange 2013.
We can use the Prepare-MoveRequest.ps1 script with the -UseLocalObject to move mailbox with the existing AD account in new domain:

SCCM 2012 DP Migration

Hi Team,
I have 2007 secondary site installed DP and all the package are available.
Q.
1.What are the folders are using at the time of sccm 2012 migration.
2.I seen SMSDPpro.log in DP share and found it importing package.. where it getting package from (don't have PCK file in the local server)?
3. After all the successful of import the very next day i saw in console it showing 65 success and 120 in progress.
When I count the SMSDPProv.log more 150 packages are imported successfully. Why my console giving wrong info.
Thanks

Hi ,
1.What are the folders are using at the time of sccm 2012 migration.
Sorry that I didn't get the point of this question. Do you mean which folder are used on sccm 2012 to copy the content of SCCM 2007 DP packages?
2.I seen SMSDPpro.log in DP share and found it importing package.. where it getting package from (don't have PCK file in the local server)?
The package content is SCCM 2007 flowchart is:
1. When you add a package to a standard Distribution Point, the distmgr component is notified with the packageID.PKN in inboxes\distmgr.box.
2. The distmgr component begins the processing of the package
3. Distmgr establishes a connection to the DP and checks for the SMSPKGdriveletter$ share.
4. It creates a subdirectory with the package ID in the SMSPKGC$ share.
5. Distmgr connects to the packageID folder it created and checks if the drive has the enough free space to copy the package contents:
6. Distmgr sets the security on the
\SMSPKGC$\<PkgID">\\<DP>\SMSPKGC$\<PkgID> folder and copies the package contents to that folder from the package source. It also copies the signature file (TAR file) to the SMSSIG$ share and sets the security on that folder:
7. Distmgr runs the SQL query to update the status in the pkgstatus table in SQL.
For more information, please see:
The end to end flow of distributing a ConfigMgr 2007 package to a standard DP and a Branch DP in a single site environment
http://blogs.technet.com/b/hhoy/archive/2012/05/31/an-adventure-in-the-sccmcontentlib-single-instance-store.aspx
In SCCM 2012 or later, by default, the content is single storage and browsing to a DP does not store all the files in a package id folder where you could find an install and execute it.
For more information, please refer to:
An adventure in the sccmcontentlib - single instance store
http://blogs.technet.com/b/hhoy/archive/2012/05/31/an-adventure-in-the-sccmcontentlib-single-instance-store.aspx
3. After all the successful of import the very next day i saw in console it showing 65 success and 120 in progress.
Refresh the status and close the SCCM console, reopen and see if this helps. If you are using SCCM 2012 Sp1, check this KB
