migrate domain controller

I have a server windows 2008 x 86 business as a primary domain controller.  What I want to do is move not only to new hardware but for migrating to server 2008 x 64 so I can install exchange 2007.  I was wondering about what is the best practice to do such.  FYI the source server running a VIA C7D and the destination is a computer that is running vmware esxi 4.1.

With x 86 to x 64 cast, here is how I see it down:

Install the operating system Windows Server 2008 x 64 on the new material (fresh and clean) and update/patch entirely.  Dcpromo in the existing domain.  Hover over the FSMO roles to it.  Move all the other functions of the old existing on server.  demote and remove the old server.

Fact.

  • Cold migration domain controller

    Hello.

    I am migrating from a server ESXi 5.0u1 with either direct-attached storage.  I have three systems to move, all in a Windows 2008/2003 domain.

    The three systems are a Windows 7 workstation and a Windows 2008 domain controller or a Windows 2008 Exchange 2010 server.  They have all been created directly on the ESXi host.

    First, I tested my migration trying to move the Windows 7 workstation.

    I turned off the desktop and Veeam FastSCP for copying the files of comments from vm.  I added the .vmx for new host inventory and tol host file I made a move instead of a copy.

    When I turned on the guest system migrated and tried to login, I get the following error:

    "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed."

    I found a few posts that suggest leaving the system and join the domain.  Not that big a deal I guess for a workstation.  But I would like to avoid this error when I migrate my DC and the Exchange Server.

    What can I do to properly migrate these systems in domain?  Use Vmware Converter instead of Veeam?

    VMware offers a trial license of a tool that would allow a live migration (vmotion)?  Always anxious to avoid this error field problem, however.

    Thank you.

    Yes, you can view the current time - and the NTP settings you have configured if all goes well - in tab Configuration 'Software'-> 'Configuration of time. "

    BTW. where to install an ESXi host the time in the BIOS must be set to time current UTC.

  • How can I migrate my profile of Terminal servers from a domain controller to a 2008 R2 domain controller 2003?

    I have a 2003 DC and I install a 2008 R2 to be the new domain controller. I want to migrate the users of Services Terminal Server profile for the new 2008 R2 domain controller?

    Example:

    Services Terminal Server profile:

    Terminal Server user profile:

    Path profile = \\2003DC\profilests\username

    The Terminal Services home folder:

    Connect: H

    To: \\2003DC\home\usermane

    I would like to migrate these files to the 2008 R2 domain controller so I can turn off the domain controller 2003.

    Example:

    Services Terminal Server profile:

    Terminal Server user profile:

    Path profile = \\2008DC\profilests\username

    The Terminal Services home folder:

    I'm going to migrate a virtual machine (Microsoft server 2008 with the domain controller

    role) one ESXI server to another.

    If I use

    the VCenter migration feature, it will be work? Or do I have to depromote my

    Server as a vm import/export?

    I want to

    Remember, it'll be safe for this virtual machine.

  • Migration of the domain controller Active Directory of windows 2000 server to a Server 2008.

    I have an old machine that is running Windows 2000 server and it's our only one domain controller in a mixed 2000/2003/2008 server environment. I would like to move to one of the servers 2008 Active Directory and make the PDC and withdraw from the old box of 2000.

    I saw a sea of documentation about the updated/move ActiveDirectory, but no clear examples of what I need to accomplish.

    Can I do a dcpromo on a 2003 server, synchronization of the 2000 box, retire the 2000 Server, then dcpromo th 2008 Server 2003 Server? I know this may seem simplistic to a complicated procedure, but I have not really found anything to support...

    A simple link to a procedure taken care of step by step would be great.

    Thanks for all the ideas in advance.

  • Questions, communicate with a Windows domain controller

    I thought at first my user had a problem with Keychain and had finally called Apple Tech Support.  While on the line with Apple, we proved that it was not a question of Keychain, but rather a problem of communication with a windows domain controller. The key elements are:

    * Multiple users and Macs are members of an Active Directory multi-domain forest

    * iMac is a 27-inch, mid-2011w / 8 GB RAM

    * OS X 10.11.2 (updated 10.11.3)

    * Question appears isolated to this iMac (currently). All other iMac, Macbook Pro and Mac Pro is currently very well, several VIRTUAL LANs, and a MacBook connected to the connection of network iMacs can communicate properly with the domain.

    * iMac seems not to contact no matter what domain controller when connecting, but connects to the resources of the network and domain controllers, after login. Permissions and access to the resources appear normal after login.

    * User (s) cannot change passwords for mobile accounts or login with new mobile accounts, but accounts/passwords cached work very well.

    * iMac uses Symantec EndPoint Protection for Mac (anti-virus) – REQUIRED BY THE POLICY.  I can't change.  I have come off for the test, but must replace as soon as the test is completed. This policy is set at a level about five grades of remuneration above me.

    * It isn't really everything off the coast of the wall software installs on the computer.  The full Adobe Creative Cloud subscription is responsible, but so it is on just about every other mac I support.

    The steps that have taken place:

    (1) about a month ago, the user went to change his password, but wouldn't go to change password at the login window.  We were able to change their password on the network and could use the new password to connect to the network Active Directory controlled resources. We can connect to resources network successfully with the new password, after we connect locally with the old password.

    (2) we get the red ball (the network resources are not available) to the login window. We are basically connecting with identification and passwords cached information.

    (3) if we try to change their password through the system preferences / users and groups / / password Chang, we get the message that no domain controller is available.

    (4) initially thought that it was a matter of trousseau, and we ended up calling Apple support, since Keychain first aid is no longer available in 10.11. Apple-Advisor while that remote, showed where it was not a question of Keychain because we could not change the password on the domain, because the iMac didn't communicate with a domain controller.

    (5) while on the phone with Apple, we reset SMC and NVRAM without success.

    (6) If you are going to untie the iMac in the domain, a message that the system cannot communicate with a domain controller.

    (7) today, thinking that maybe there was a hardware problem with the ethernet connection, tried to use the private WiFi network. Still would not communicate with a controller domain, but, as if using the wired, could connect to network resources. This happens independently attempted account.

    (8) used a MacBook on its network without any problem, it is not the connection port or switch

    (9) moved his iMac to another connection on one VLAN different. Same question.

    I'm open to suggestions. I have two days to work on this subject, around the planning of production of the user, while I'm off site for a week.

    10) thinking that maybe it was something that happened with 10.11.2, he improved to 10.11.3 today. No change.

    I don't want to try to clean and recharge its iMac, in the hope that this clears up the issue.

    ANY SUGGESTIONS?

    A few additional tests.

    (1) Symantec deleted using Symantec CleanWipe, without modification. Has been reinstalled after additional tests and a reinstallation of the operating system.

    (2) being ran reports, visualization and research now, but nothing is really coming out as noticeable. Only problem seems to be a helper of Adobe

    (3) use a bootable USB key and had no problem with the thumb drive version, this isn't somehow a hardware problem.

    4) entered the recovery partition and the re-installed El Capitan, in the hope that perhaps, is a pilot or something in the protocol stacks have been corrupt, a reinstall would correct. Reinstall has not corrected the problem.

    I'm really strongly leaning towards here is something in a plist or somewhere configuration file that is corrupted, but I don't know where this would be right now.  Will continue research and testing. Last resort will be a wipe up to bare metal and a clean install. I will not migrate the profile of the user, but only its working files.

  • P2V domain controller (for a test, the new virtual will not be connected to the network or used in production)

    I wanted to check that won't affect my physical domain controller by performing a P2V migration to this subject, we would like to P2V our current DC (in production) to put in our test environment, it's so we can simulate one pass from 2008 to 2012. I would just check that install VMWare converter and performing P2V migration on the active domain controller current WILL NOT affect our current physical machine.

    Can someone advise?

    DC and P2V = Don t do, since there is absolutely no guarantee that the DC P2Ved work. I had horrible experience during a migration of a data center to a new provider, the provider told us that P2V would be perfectly viable and that they had done several times. So ultimately they tested migration P2V, everything worked. Then, the day of the passage to the they did it again and AD did not come to the top. In the end we had to make a member server new rollback, as well as on the website of the provider and a classic dcpromo Setup does the job.

  • P2V one domain controller

    I do P2V two domain controllers.  These servers need to be virtualized and there are other services on those servers (for example, Exchange) that must be virtualized as well.  I'm on vSphere 5.1.    What are the steps on how to P2V safely with this version of ESXi domain controllers?

    It is safer and easier to simply create a new one from scratch.  Once built, migrate to any FSMO

  • direct conversion of the domain controller

    Hello

    I just download vCenter Converter Standalone 4.0.1 with the intention to convert a physical domain controller in a virtual machine under esx 4.0.   the final goal is to re create my production of active directory and exchange environments to test the migration of mailboxes from exchange 2003 to exchange 2007.  are there aspects I should be aware of here?  thought play it safe and get a little feedback before messing around with the field.  Thanks in advance! just to clarify, im running a host not managed esx 4.0 and have just installed vCenter Standalone 4.0.1 on my client machine.

    see this VMware KB on their position on P2V of a domain controller

    http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1004588

    > If the source is a domain controller, special considerations are required. VMware does not recommend virtualization of an active DC with converter. For more information, see Virtualizing existing domain controllers (1006996).

  • A virtualization domain controller error

    Hello

    I recently tried to PtoV, one of our Windows 2000 domain controllers.  This domain controller hosting the Infrastructure master FSMO role.   PtoV process seemed that it was successful.  I brought the physical domain controller, raise the server virtual and everything went well.  However, upon further research, I noticed that the NetLogon service has been suspended.  I managed to restart the service, and it has started successfully.

    The main problem is that I noticed that there is an error in replication now with our other physical domain controllers.  The error is below to:

    The following error occurred during an attempt to synchronize the domain controllers: the destination server rejects currently replication requests.

    Everyone knows about this problem before?  This happens all in trying to replicate from this domain controller virtual at ALL physical domain controllers.  I searched some knowledge bases and could not find anything that would relate to my environment.

    Thank you

    Marc

    Its best just to build a new DC on virtual material, promote and then out to the former.  If you do a p2v then transfer the roles first off and do a migration cold offline by using the bootable CD converter.

  • 2012 R2 in Windows domain controller goes to three options when you restart in hyper-v, but cannot boot from any option

    After that creating a differencing disk (Windows 2012 R2 MSDN) that points to a virtual hard drive in windows that was Sysprep, I went through all the measures to promote a domain controller, but then I get 3 options, one to stop and connect to DC, two to repair, and three to stop this PC, the virtual machine does not restart to something else than these three options. I have also set up the IP address to be in the same subnet as the host gave the DNS the same thing as the vm and can ping a Web site ok, but cannot get the malicious windows package to get from windows update then nothing else before I did this PC a 2013 R2 domain controller.

    Hi all

    Can I confirm with expert from Microsoft, it's windows foundation server 2012 may not be the first domain controller (which means that the first AD in the forest)? It must be attached to the root of the forest as a domain controller. If I'm promoting it to be first DC in new forest, he invites you to "the server has not completed the compliance audit of the licenses. If the server is joined to a domain, make sure that the server can connect to a domain controller. If the license compliant check cannot be completed, the server will automatically close in 9 days...

  • Windows Server Std 2012 R2 domain controller

    Hello world. We have problems in the domain controller with Windows Server R2 2012 in the VM that it helps domain users to connect to the DC remotely with admin rights. We have already allowed group policy by default on the management of the user rights that allow remote only for domain administrators. We did not refuse access, because the new user must be added to each new user creation. We do not want to use distribution of the Group deny. is it possible to access remotely to DC?

    Hi Expert,

    Since a few days my business met the internet problem. All the PC and server connected to the DC not able to go online. After a few minute 15-20 minute network is automatically recovered and able to go online. I checked with ISP they confirmed no question about they site. Our main installed dns on the PDC as well. Can one confirmed no matter what happens on the domain controller may cause the network problem in devices that connected to the domain controller?
