The pitfalls of migration from Server 2003 to 2012 R2 on Power Edge 2900

I have a Power Edge 2900 2003 Server to Server R2 2012.

The known pitfalls?  Going, I have a problem with the SAS6/iR Raid Controller?

I made a few new installations on other machines with Server 2012 R2, bur never upgrade. Just a little nervous, I have the weekend to work on it.

Thank you

I don't think that you can pass directly from 2003 to 2012 R2, but R2 2012 is fully supported on the 2900, so there should be no problem running it on there. I strongly suggest you update the system firmware (BIOS, GER/BMC, PERC (first pilot)) before moving on to 2012 R2.

  • How to activate the Internet connection on Windows Server 2003 is installed in the virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8?

    I have Windows Server 2003 is installed on a virtual machine in VMware Workstation 8. I need it to learn and practice the use of the Active Directory. I've also set up 3 Windows XP workstations connect to it, which means that they can communicate with Server 2003. What is lacking is the Internet connection on all of them. When I run ping 8.8.8.8 in one of these virtual machines, I get, 'Destination host unreachable.'

    I'm not sure, what if the problem comes from the settings in Windows or the settings of the virtual machine.

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you, guys. I was finally able to put in place. It was quite an ordeal to deal with IP addresses and virtual networks. Here's how I did (in the screenshots) in case someone else needs it.

    (I also confess that it is perhaps one of the ways to implement. Maybe there is an easier way to do it with DHCP...)

    1. in your computer where is installed VMware Workstation 8 begin the "Virtual Network Editor." It is located in the folder of installation of VMware Workstation. And implement the network following (VMnet2 in my case):

    2 then in VMware Workstation itself in the virtual machine when Windows Server 2003 is installed set up two network as connections:

    This one is for external access to the Internet:

    And this one for intranet communications AD:

    3. then in the machine virtual de Windows Server 2003 set up what follows for two network adapters:

    For Internet access:

    Then, you need allow this connection to share:

    And then for the ad access to workstations (ensure that the static IP address is in the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor). I've also set up DNS to 127.0.0.1 because I installed on this Windows 2003 DNS server:

    4. from the Windows 2003 VM try ping 8.8.8.8. It should work now.

    5. go to each workstation, in my case, Windows XP, each in its own virtual machine and set up the network in the VMware Workstation as follows:

    6. then in the virtual machine, configure the network connection for Windows XP workstation. Don't forget to assign a new static IP address for each workstation, which not coinside with IP of the domain (this IP address must come from the range specified in the virtual network over VMnet2 network editor):

    7. try first ping the domain, in my case ping 192.168.237.128. And then Internet, ping 8.8.8.8. The two should work!

    Continue with steps [5-7].

    SBUU what version do you use?  You should use GDPS (systems management tools and Documentation) 7.2 or later version, not SBUU.  Have you tried to install directly from the Windows support?  What is the EXACT message that you receive?  Note that the eccentric the 2970 chipset will probably require allows you to load the driver during installation if you are using a CD/DVD drive.  Installation of USB will avoid this scenario.

  • How to migrate from windows 2003 to windows 2008 with all the work of GPO active directory, DNS, without problem?

    Hello...

    I have a problem with windows 2003 to windows 2008 migration. I have try several round of flyway of google and youtube, but he is still fail.
    in the first,.
    I have HP Proliant server with windows server 2003. So I restore the backup to a different server HP Proliant wih same hardware specification. I've been back up the System State and the drive C with NTBackup. After I restored on HP Proliant, that I want to migrate, the DNS server is timeout request and the client cannot join domain. I was surprised, because the backup and the material is the same, but it can work as well as the original server.
    in the second case,
    I have windows server 2003 in HP Proliant server and it works well. I'm doing a replication on this server to another windows 2003 server in an another HP Proliant and works of good replication (another user can join the domain). After, I have installed windows server 2008 to another PC and make the replication of the duplication of windows 2003. And this success to replicate, but not on the DNS (DNS query time-out).
    I have the despair to try migrating Windows 2003 and 2008 because he is still fail in DNS. Another way to migrate to Windows 2003 and 2008 with DNS, AD and GPO work?

  • Songs from Server 2003 added to the WMP11 library but does not appear or play on remote drives

    Goal is to make the large library of songs on Server 2003 available for play on the Onkyo HT-RC180.

    Using WMP11 on XP SP3 as a mechanism of source.  On the second machine I have Server2003 with collection of songs.  Can add pieces of server to WMP11 library on the XP machine, do appear in the library list and read.  Can also see and play the songs pasted on the source XP machine.  So far so good.

    Have a laptop with Win7 and WMP12.  I grant him access in WMP11 can I access the libraries of the XP machine and play songs I can see from this library using laptop, but only those songs stuck on XP (not those of the server) machine appear on the laptop and can be played there.  Same problem to access the library of machine XP Onkyo HT - RC180.

    Change the permissions on the files on the server to match those of XP machine, including inheritance and the NETWORK SERVICE, does not solve the problem.

    On the XP machine, change the capture of rip to a server folder, and then to rip a CD on the server does not have the ripped files to be seen or played on a remote drive, although they can be seen and read on the XP machine.

    If I turn the tables and use the laptop as the source, but still store files on the server, situation remains unchanged - physically located on the laptop songs are fine but those on the server can not be seen or read on the remote drive.

    Seems to me is not a problem with file permissions.  Seems more like something wrong with the installation of WMP leading to something wrong with the database of WMP - but deletion of database and restart does not help.

    What, exactly, the permissions are on the server to allow playback of the songs on remote drive?

    What is the problem with WMP11 settings on the XP machine?

    Have you installed the streaming media server?  Also do you have server 2003 mounted as a network drive?  More help might be able to be found at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-us/categories/.

  • Impossible to logon to share the folder with "User must change password at the next logon" in Windows Server 2003

    I use Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 as a file server.  I create new user 'A' in Windows Server 2003 as well with the option "user must change password at the next logon" selected and give way under the group users and users in the domain for this user.  I then share an output folder.  User 'A' is using Windows XP SP3 to connect to this shared folder.  However, when I try to connect, Windows reappear to enter user name and password.  I think it is the limitation in Windows that the user 'A' will be unable to change the password at the next logon or change password at any point in time at all.  Correct me if I heard wrong.

    If possible, can someone enlighten me what is wrong or what I need to do for user to access folder and change the password on the first logon.

    If what I described is not possible, is there another way for me to configure for the user to access share folder so that the user doesn't have to join domain or user of the AD?

  • Language in grayed when installed on the English version of Windows Server 2003

    Turkish AdbeRdr11000_tr_TR.exe

    Chinese AdbeRdr11000_zh_CN.exe

    Chinese AdbeRdr1010_zh_CN.exe

    Greek AdbeRdr10110_el_GR.exe

    I tried to install their (a) on the Windows Server 2003 (English version). They install without error but when I try to launch them they come with the dialog box to select the English language and of required languages are unavailable / greyed out.

    (For the Chinese language I 'Control Panel > regional and Language Options > languages tab > install files for East Asian languages checked ').

    How can I activate these languages so that Adobe Reader software would result in the language that I need.

    Kind regards

    In the case where if someone had the same problem, here is a solution:

    Go to the window > Control Panel > regional settings > Advanced tab.

    Set the field under: "Select the language that matches the version of non-Unicode programs you want to use" to the language you want to use.

    Apply the changes.

    Windows may require a restart.

    Go to Adobe reader and in language settings, change the option to choose the language at the start of adobe.

    When you re-breakfast Adobe language you need should be available.

  • What product Vmware is the best for several Windows Server 2003 and 2008 implementation

    Hi all

    I am just wondering that if I installed VMware on Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and Windows Server 2003 Enterprize edition on VMware I was able to use more Ram installed, our server have 48GB of Ram but Server 2003 Standard allows only 4 GB max to use, to save money, I was wondering just if I can use the way I mentioned above.

    Looking at it, I think you have a misconception about the limitations of VMware, RAM and operating system. Your problem is that you see no more than 4 GB of RAM on your x 86 Server 2003 install? This is a limitation of the operating system - to use more RAM you need an operating system that can deal with the RAM.

    • If you install VMware Workstation on Windows Server 2003 standard x 86 edition then you will only be able to use the 4 GB of RAM, Windows Server 2003 Standard x 32 can process.

    • If you install VMware Workstation on Windows Server 2003 standard x 64 edition then you will be able to use the 32 GB of RAM that Windows Server 2003 Standard x 64 can process.

    • If you install VMware ESX, you can adjust your full 48GB of RAM and install multiple instances of Win 2003 Svr Standard, each of which can address 4 GB of your memory live available.
