The system has been purchased, installed, data migrated to it, and an mirror DR site brought up on the other side of town. Now the EMC tech tells me failover is not automatic. So, a meteor turns the datacenter into a crater, but since I'm shooting down a zipline in Belize at the time, the DR...

We have a tech running a set of Website-related processes on a virtual Windows 2003 server using VMWare Server 1.x (the free one). Now we have Windows 2008 Server with Hyper-V and are happily running one virtual machine with it. I'd like to migrate the VMWare virtual machine to Hyper-V too...

...but the tapes are only 160GB each. Can anyone 'splain that? BE 12 for Windows. Y. Doky - "Manager" of Systems "A .22 caliber intellect in a .357 Magnum world."

Running VSS on Windows 2003 R2 SP2... shadow copy worked fine for months, had 50 days worth of daily shadow copies and used them all the time for file restores. Then this past monday morning I came to work to this: "Source: Volsnap EventID: 25 (etc) The shadow copies of volume R were deleted...

AD seems to replicate between servers (2003, on the same LAN) just fine, but sometimes the logon script .bats in the DC system root don't. Other times they do. Any tips? Y. Doky - "Manager" of Systems "A .22 caliber intellect in a .357 Magnum world."

A little digging turned up the original CDs that shipped with the server, which included a bootable CD with a utility to reinstall the OS or install a different OS. Thanks. Y. Doky - "Manager" of Systems "A .22 caliber intellect in a .357 Magnum world."

I bought 5 new servers preinstalled with 2003 SR2 but the state IT authority hasn't extended the AD schema to SR2 so I can't use them as DCs. I'd be delighted to install SR1 but the computers won't allow an earlier version to install from within Windows and won't boot the CD either. So now...

Migrating from NT domain to AD 2003 domain. ADMT didn't convert local profiles on computers so I have to manually move the contents from the old profile to the new one after the user logs on to the new domain for the first time. Anyone experience anything like this? All clients are NT, 2K or...

I brought up 2003 AD servers and created a new domain. Ran ADMT to migrate computer and user accounts to AD, no problem. Now, for the last 9 months I've been manually converting the clients because ADMT did not work. All clients are NT, 2K or XP. Here's how I do it: The User logs on to new...

When migrating Computer, I get this: "User rights translation will be performed in Add mode only..." But I want to Replace. What now? Y. Doky - "Manager" of Systems "A .22 caliber intellect in a .357 Magnum world."

Mark, I don't suppose you still have that script handy? Y. Doky - "Manager" of Systems "A .22 caliber intellect in a .357 Magnum world."

Has anyone used ADMT to migrate an NT domain (non-FQDN) to a new AD domain (FQDN) on 2003 server? Did you migrate computers and users? Did it work? Y. Doky - "Manager" of Systems "A .22 caliber intellect in a .357 Magnum world."

Mark, thanks for the reply. I don't think this is the issue because I am logged into the AD server as administrator of the Source (old) domain. The ADMT does migrate the computer into the new domain and reports no errors, but just doesn't add the new access rights to the existing profiles...

Migrating from NT domain to AD. Using ADMT to migrate computers. First off, someone tell me the difference between "People" and "Users" in AD. I migrated all accounts from NT domain and put them in "People" on the AD. Are they supposed to be in "Users"? Next: Run ADMT to migrate computers...

Seamus, did you resolve this issue? I'm having the same problem with a 2003 RIS server. This is my first attempt at using RIS, so I'm stumbling around in the dark. Thanks! Y. Doky - "Manager" of Systems "A .22 caliber intellect in a .357 Magnum world."
