how can we migrate applications from windows server 2003 to 2008

or from windows server 2008 to windows 2012, any tools we use.

any examples of application one can give.

We are in the process of upgrading our DC's from Windows 2008 R2 to 2016 and our FFL and DFL is at Windows 2008 R2. Yesterday and today I used LDP to view the deleted object which I done before to restore and object that was deleted 45 minutes prior. The problem is the object was not list in the deleted items container yet I know it was deleted. I tried created a number of computer account then deleting them and had the same results. What am I missing here?

I have found a strange performance issue with xBase++.
Essentially, client performance is very good until database files in the same database are opened locally on the server (see graph.)
Details are below.
Thanks,
Tim

Test Setup
----------------
•      Three client platforms and two server platforms, all under controlled conditions.
•      Clients: Win7 10/100, Win7 gb, Win Server 2008 R2 via XenApp
•      Servers: Win Server 2012 R2, Win Server 2008 R2 (VMware virtual machine)
•      xBase++: 2.00.785
•      Dbe: FOXCDX (see dbesys.prg example)
•      Client test function: representative function that creates a DBF/CDX file on the client C: drive from data assembled from multiple open data files residing on the server.

Test Procedure
----------------------
1.      Reboot the server
2.      On a client map a drive to the server database share
3.      Run the app from the client c: drive, starting it in the mapped server folder – performance is good for multiple simultaneous clients
4.      Run an app locally on the server and open files in the same database folder as the client
5.      As the number of files opened locally on the server increases the client performance degrades significantly for all clients, even new instances on different machines (see graph)
6.      Close the locally opened files on the server
7.      Client performance remains degraded

Notes
---------
•      The performance is poor for all subsequent clients once a database folder has files opened locally on the server
•      The performance …

I am running a script to collect dir file attributes:

1. Directory
2. Name
3. CreationTime
4. LastWriteTime
5. LastAccessTime
6. extension
7. Length

I am collection this from a vol that is about 7 TB with about 200 million file with some long file names greater than 260 characters.

I have been running this for about 4 hours now doing a direct write to the file rather than storing it in an array.  The file has existed 1.85 GB is size.  

Would I be better off dumping into an array the loop through the array to write out to the file?


Is my only option to chunk this process up to specific targeted directories?

Hi, I am hoping someone can clear the muddy water for me.

I have SCDPM 2012 R2 running and am actually backing up a few production (physical) servers at the moment.  All Protection Status state OK...EXCEPT the "Computer\System Protection\Bare Metal Recovery" & "Computer\System Protection\System State" protection groups, which display "Replica is inconsistent".


I have read several online articles pertaining to this issue and have installed the "Windows Server Backup" feature only, not the Windows Server Backup Feature - Command-line Tools, because none of the articles stated it, only the WSB feature.

I even tried disabling the WinRE agent and re-enabling it.

I still receive the same status after Performing consistency checks at every change.


When I check the servers being backed up (Protected Servers) event logs, I noticed it mentions being out of space for the backups.

There was another article I recently read that mentioned this out of space alert and stated to resolve the issue you need a separate shared drive on the DPM server to store the BMR & SS backups to for the Protected Servers and that each server would require 40GB of space.  This seems crazy and I just need clarification to get to the bottom of this issue.


Can someone clear all this up for me and help me figure out what I am missing to resolve this issue with my Protection Group backups?


Also, does anyone know if SCDPM 2016 address this issue?


Thanks in advance.

I have a very large NAS (36 TB)  with about 385 million files or so.  I want to gather all the files fullpath, ext, date created, modified and access.  I would like this data to be written directly to MSSQL db.  Also it needs to be able to handle long path names (260 or more).

Is there any application or script that will handle this.  

I am thinking Powershell, but I do not know how to write out to SQL with it. I can output to a CSV file, but that will get very large in size and I still need to import it to SQL.  I guess I could leverage HASH TABLE, but I am not familiar with this method.

Hi All,

I need to open a case with Microsoft for a server issue, i want to say a year ago i ordered a TechNet or something like that which gave me 5 support incidents for 699 or something like that. I went online today to open a case, and it says a 5 pack is 1999, did something change?

I am working my way through a ROC for PCI compliance.  One of the requirements is that "changed passwords cannot use the same phrase with simple changes like 'Password1' to Password2'".  So now the problem is, how do you accomplish that in a group policy on Active Directory?  All the desktops I support are Windows 7 Professional and most of my servers are Windows Server 2008 R2 (including the 2 domain controllers).

I went looking through Google and EE for a few pages, but no luck.

I have enabled security auditing and it is auditing just fine but my problem is that when I look at the event log in the Object Name field it is showing \device\HardDiskVolume4\Test Folder instead of a drive letter, ie H:\Test Folder.  This is causing a problem with some software we have that is logging the auditing data so we can report on it.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  We are running Windows Server 2008 R2 and the volume is iSCSI.  On the C and D drives they are showing just fine in the Audit Security.

Im totally lost and also not sure how to provide any information for help on this problem.
I have a classic asp page that has been happily working for 10+ years.
Now it is randomly causing browsers to issue "Site can't be reached ERR_CONNECTION_RESET"
Locally, remotely - its the same.
Its not even consistent depending on the data I ask it to return
I have checked the contents of all the rows in the database relating to the page and there is nothing wrong - that was my first port of call
Everything else using the information still works.
I have also checked the server logs and can find no reference to any error at all.
I know this is a long shot but does anyone else have any idea where to start to look?
There is just nothing useable to try to find the problem anywhere
windows Server 2008 R2
Help much appreciated
