I demoted windows server 2003 in my Ad site, i need to update the DHCP scope.

as my users will be disconnected. what are the steps.

Dear experts,

I'm newbie to scripting so as always your help and time is very appreciated.

on source infrastructure : I have server1 on domain A with lots of local groups. all these local groups on server1 has domain groups and user members. it is a standalone windnows 2003 server.

on target infrastructure: I have domain B with windows 2012 server.

findings: I found below script on TechNet but slightly confused about copying nested members or group members to target DC. I could not understand on which line it is copying  group members to domain B domain Controller after creating Universal or Domain Groups on Domain controller. Surely, created groups must have their members.

task completed: I used basic bat file on source server to get local groups and their members. For an example:  net localgroup "Administrators" >> GroupMembers.txt   this gave me the outcome I need but it I need to sort it correctly so that when I use it to import the outcome sorting should be easy to collect for the PowerShell mentioned in the link. I did NOT use POWERSHELL on Source Server.

question: I need to move all the local groups and their members from server1 domain A to Domain B Doman controllers so all groups are domain based groups instead of local groups as it is now in domain1 on Server1. Is this possible to achieve this with the script found in the below link? Is there any …

HI Experts,
Could you advise what is the most popular or leader in deployment script.

Currently, I'm using Jenkins, Shell, ANT, Maven along with product APIs (weblogic, etc). I'm thinking to considering the right tool (open source or licensed) which has the capability and meant for deployment. Since there are so many new products in the market now.

More interested in application deployment and to start exploring on Infrastructure side of it as well

Requesting you all to put me in the right direction please

I am running Windows Media Services on Windows 2003 but now I want to switch to Windows 2016.
What service shall I use on Windows 2016 instead of  Windows Media Services ?

Hi Experts,

I have this script tested and works as expected.  script checks the disks attached to server and checks the  drive label  of the disks and create a .txt file with the drive letter name ( such as "D drive.txt")  scripts is copied to  each server already and locally run.

For an example, if four disk found as D, E,Y,S on a local server, after running the script,  when I  go into each disk, I should have a .txt file saved in there as D drive.txt, E drive.txt , Y drive.txt and S drive.txt

batch script will be used on  mixture Windows OS versions. ( 2003 to 2012)

Issue: it works fine when script is run locally but when needed to run using PSexec, it produces different issues  even though script is on the local server and all PSexec should do is executing the script with remotely instead of logging into the each server. I have read on forums that vmic is not very friendly with PSExec, is there way to eliminate wmic from the script? here is forum talks about the issues it causes:  https://forum.sysinternals.com/psexec-hangs-when-running-wmicexe_topic14752.html

thanks in Advance

I have a 2003 server std that is a domain controller and exchange server.  There are 7 domains on this server.  I have been asked to upgrade exchange from 2007 to 2010.  Can someone guide me to a step by step process for doing this? I have never built an exchange server before, and need this to be successful.

I'll be doing this tomorrow but wanted to get a head start as far as information goes today..

Situation:
Added a Windows essentials Server 2012 into an environment and set up so they both sync to each other.  Everything worked fine for a couple of weeks.  With intentions of getting rid of the 2003 server shortly. They were replicating to my knowledge because all of the users etc transferred over to the new server.

Fast forward to now the 2003 server is shutting down every hour saying that there is a license issue. This is causing clients to lose internet access and other resources.

What do I need to do to completely get rid of the 2003 server?
I was there this morning and the 2003 server is getting a journal wrap error?

every email I type in I get this error , I am not sure why

thanks !

Any suggestion- Can we expand disk on HP DL 385 G1. It's windows server 2003.

Hi,
I will be building a new 2012 R2 domain controller and joining it to the current domain which has a 2003 domain controller. The new server will have a new subnet of say 10.10.10.0/24 with VLAN 10. The existing subnet is 192.168.10.0/24 no VLANs.

- What is the best method to join this DC to the domain and ensure they are able to replicate correctly
- I will need to make the 2012 R2 server the primary DC and demote the 2003 DC once replicated
- I will need to update how DHCP will work with multiple subnets and ensure that the existing and new can run side-by-side until i stop the existing subnet and allow the new subnet to be pushed out to workstations

Someone mentioned that i need to do some configuration on sites and services to get it to work correctly?

Thanks.

I have a Windows 2008 R2 server running virtually on XenServer. The server is a Citrix application server running WolfePak, which uses ADS (Advantage Database). We were previously on a Windows 2003 server. Since moving to Windows Server 2008 R2, we have been experiencing extreme slowness. At least twice as slow as the 2003 Server. I have read many articles saying there is a problem with ADS and Server 2008 R2. I have tried many things recommended with NO success. Can you help me find out what is going on? The new server has 1TB of space and 32GB of RAM. We are not close to running out of either. Help!

hi
I have a windows 2003 server as my domain controller with roaming profiles and folder redirection configured. I have had this server for a while now and I have migrated users from windows XP all the way to windows 10. M problem is now am almost out of space on this server but when I check how much data is on the users profile it doesn't correspond to what is on my quota statement, seems to be less than what is on the server. am also constantly seeing cases of "Your roaming profile was not completely synchronized" from a couple of them. how do I solve this?

thanks
