Best way to upgrade of domain Active Directory from 2003 to 2008

I have a specific situation.  I need to upgrade an AD 2003-2008r2.  We are not comfortable making the leap for 2012.  Basically, the original design was 5 offices of each with a domain controller.  Each domain controller has a file share, but also the "Users" folder  I thought up starting with the new servers side by side.  DCPromo the 2008r2 new servers to domain controllers.  What is the best method to move the file shares and files users in this case?  Once files are moved I can then DCPromo down servers 2003 and raise to the 2008 field.  All IP addresses are static throughout the environment.  He didn't design this way... but having to deal with it.

This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

  • Upgrade of Broker for connections from 2003 to 2008

    First off I'll just say my name is Sarah - I write under our account for the company (I don't want to give Darren any bad credit rating!)

    It took a challenge to achieve our next release of VMWare View 4.5 to 4.6, as well as that us want to migrate our main login server in a replication group from the current Windows Server 2003 (Standard) to a new box of Windows Server 2008 R2.


    A Windows 2008 Server server is currently sitting spare, I'll build it first and then add in the environment - the main reason I'm writing is to understand the best way to make this new server instance standard Adam in our replication group, and best to do!

    • I first upgrade all the current 4.6 connection broker, then install the new server as an instance of replication, then when its fully synchronized am I able to change this to a standard instance and remove the former broker for main connections?
    • Can I install the new server as a standard instance immediately - the other connection server will see this and reply anyway?
    • Alternatively, the easiest would be to first install 4.5 on my Windows 2008 machine, join my view environment and then take it from here?

    Apologies for the lack of knowledge in some areas, its all a learning curve for me and I have mounds of documentation to read as well as via the Internet. I'm hoping to get this upgrade right first time on my own...

    Thank you.

    I think the easiest way to upgrade to 4.6 environment, add new 2008 server in the environment of 4.6 and remove Server 2003 environment.    As usual always do your backups beforehand.

    Hello
    Welcome to the Microsoft community. Sorry for the delay in responding.

    Please take a look at this article for more information on the upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate.
    Upgrade to another edition of Windows 7 by using Windows Anytime Upgrade but now it would be better if you upgrade to Windows 10 directly. If you have Windows 7 Professional, you qualify for a free update to Windows Professional 10.

    Upgrade to Windows 10

    Which edition of Windows I get as part of the free update?

    To install the language packs take a look at this article.

    Windows 7 language packs are available for computers that are running Windows 7 ultimate or Windows 7 Enterprise

    Hope that the information provided has been helpful and let us know if you need more help. We will be happy to help you.

  • What is the best way to get a SVG file generated from After Effects?

    What is the best way to get a SVG file generated from After Effects?

    Is there a script to do this? I use the SVG file directly in my work. I did research online, but find that it has no native support of EI to achieve.

    I found some scripts online, but they convert output Adobe AE to the JSON file. Is there something similar available for the SVG file?

    Thank you

    AE makes pixels not vectors, so it's not possible.

  • Best way to measure accurately the activity of hiking on Apple Watch

    I use my Apple Watch with watch OS 2.2.2 paired with an iPhone on ios 9.3.3 6 and ask what is the best way to measure the calories during the hike. I currently use the app to drive and walk outdoor activity type, but it seems that the market with more than 30 pounds on the back should burn more calories than the market alone.

    It would make sense to increase my weight of 30 pounds (or whatever the weight of the package is that day) in community health for the market or is there another solution to workaround that would suffice?

    It would be great if a later version of workout app had a hiking activity or hiking with a place to specify the amount of extra weight in a pack or vest or even just an option for additional weight to the open-air market.

    Thank you!

  • Domain Active directory unavailable services

    I am running windows 7 and after the last set of updates (15/04/2010) I can access is no longer print servers (version 2003). It gives me the message: domain services Active directory unavailable.  I checked that DNS is properly configured and have tried without firewall active.  I also tried to do a system restore but who could not solve the problem.  I suspect a registry problem I have the same problem no matter what problem I try to print with.  I am now having a problem with adobe and get the error message: unable to print: no pages have been selected to print.  I noticed that these tasks are patches.  I am also unable to use the diagnostic program because it says that I don't have the "'regularly download a file to detect system issues" box "verified even if I do."  My computer is a tool that doesn't help with this ability.

    Hello
     
    1. who is the edition of Windows 7 is installed on the computer?
    2. is the computer connected to the domain?
    3. are you able to print on other programs?
    4. is the printing device listed in the list of devices and printers?
     
    We recommend that you try to access print administrator servers. To troubleshoot the device, try the following steps.
    1. click on start, click on devices and printers.
    2. right click on the item of the printer and click on solve.
     
    Re-install the program adobe has fixed the problem with printing on Adobe. Visit this link for more information:

  • Is it possible to authenticate 2 or more domains Active Directory via acs solution engine v4.2?

    Hello

    Is it possible to authenticate ACS solution engine v4.2 against 2 or more Active Directory domains by using the generic LDAP configuration?  One scenario would be to geographic distribution where 1 area would be for the USA and the other would be an another say country Canada (e.g. US.corp and CA.corp).

    Thank you

    James

    Hi James,

    It is possible to configure multiple servers authentication LDAP, one for each area. I can tell you that it is much more efficient configuration and administration viewpoint experience and end-user to use AD as an external database Microsoft if your installation is actually all in the same namespace for example amer.CompanyName.com and canada.companyname.com.

    To configuration LDAP multiple databases, go to the external user databases > generic LDAP > create a BITTER called, then do the same for CANADA.

    Cordially, Jeremy

  • Best way to upgrade 9 machines to monthly subscription?

    I have 9 machines (3 PC and 6 Mac) upgrade to monthly subscriptions - 8 of them are already on CS5... What is the best way to start this process?

    Hi Emily,.

    To my knowledge, "Creative Cloud for teams" is appropriate for you. Also, if you use the product for a year then it is better if you buy an annual subscription in which only the commitment is for one year, but you will pay monthly-wise. Check this link for more details about Creative Cloud for teams below:

  • Best way to generate signals of activation (square wave) with my 9401 on my 9022?

    Hi, I tried seriously over the past two days to find the best way to do it. I am trying to generate a very precise square wave, controlling the duty cycle and frequency, with the OID on the 9401 in testbed cRIO 9022.

    I have a VI that is theoretically able to do this, but whenever I try to go above 5 Hz or more, duty cycle and frequency becomes inaccurate (I have watch on an oscilloscope), various a lot too for my needs. I have a feeling that this is caused by my addiction on the calendar software controlled, with errors at the time (of the ms order) accumulate as they get processed and the signal is sent. I have attached a piece of code that illustrates the basic idea of what my VI have in them.

    I have avoided the square wave generators integrated because I could never work to satisfaction, but I can work with them so that will solve my problems. Selection structures and cases prevent the user to exaggerate their inputs. Unwaited so the loop was just to test.

    I'm running the 9022 as target in real time, but also tried to run in the FPGA and I was able to produce much more accurate signals using FPGA VI square wave, displaying a Boolean variable, but I couldn't see the best way to get double precision variables to work with everything (and I want more precision than variables FXP enabled clock 40 MHz).

    I feel there is just a mistake in my approach here. I've seen other discussions where people throw around using meters to edge of the test bench to produce a square wave, and I see the example screws as Gen dig pulse - continuous Train, I'm not sure if initially these screws DAQmx for my situation (eg. How to identify my counters, because they are clearly not Dev1/ctr0 by default in these examples)

    Thank you

    This implies the series VI void on the host of the RT, and not on the FPGA target.  So, you also need nodes in the Palette of the FPGA Interface to send PWM fixed Point RT frequency to the FPGA.  The complete solution of frequency may resemble the following.  It is common for FPGA programmers to build a collection of thesesub screw, that make up the API for hardware.

    Note that 40 MHz is hard-coded.  For increased flexibility, consider making the FPGA clock rate an entry to the Subvi with a default value of 40 MHz.

  • Best way to generate a record per day from a table with the dates of the FEP/exp

    Hello

    A table equipped with various attributes and a date of eff and exp. for example Attributeto, 05/01/2012, 16/05/2012

    We want to create another table in this table for a record per day. for example 16 documents.

    What is the best way to achieve this in OWB?

    Thank you

    Assuming that you have a calendar table, then you can reach your rate table corresponding to the date table schedule between the table rates start date and end date.

    Something like:

    Select a.rate, rate_table b., calendar_table b.
    where b. between a.start_date and a.end_date

    should translate easily into a join of two tables in OWB?
