Network Support for Small BusinessJohn Harris Tyler Wisenburg SBS 2003-2008 Migration
Tools • StorageCraft – Image Backups • Swing Toolkit – General Knowledge • EBS Prep Wizard – Prepare Source Server
Hardware • MS Recommended • 2.0 GHz CPU • 4 GB RAM • 60 GB HD • NSSB Recommended • Quad Core CPU • At least 8 GB RAM • SAS Drives* * Spend money on faster drives instead of more CPU
Example Standard Servers • NSSB Standard • S3210SH Motherboard • Xeon X3360 2.66 GHz • Adaptec 3405 SAS • 2 Seagate NS 450 GB SAS • 8 GB ECC DDR2 • InWin Case • 550 Watt PS • SBS 2008 Standard • Grand Total (no SBS) - $2846 • 2 SAS Hard drives 15K RPM - $982 • Dell – PowerEdge T100 • Pentium E2220 2.4 GHz • 4 GB RAM • 2 500 GB SATA • SBS 2008 Standard • Grand Total - $1721
Prep Site • Make image backups • Clean out “Junk” from Exchange/Files • Cleanup AD • Run EBS Prep wizard • Use 1 gb network connection for servers • Prep tool requires single NIC • Backup Logon Scripts & GPO’s • Plan Application migration (QB, Peachtree, etc.) • Triple check compatibility (64 bit?)
Server Integrity Check • Run SBS BPA • Checks: • Exchange Server • Update service • Network configuration • Microsoft® Windows® SharePoint® Services • The Microsoft SQL Server® database software • Check Service Packs • Windows Small Business Server 2003 Service Pack 1 • Windows Server® 2003 Service Pack 2 • Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 • Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 Service Pack 2 • Run ISInteg as close to migration as possible • isinteg –s *SERVERNAME* –pri -test alltests • isinteg –s *SERVERNAME* –pri-fix * -fix CAN destroy data, make sure you have a good backup!
Prep Source Server • Function levels raised (Forest & Domain) • Exchange working in Native Mode • Source Tool run • Create list of Printers and Shares • All these services use correct startup:
Pre-Install • FV-NSSB (2003) • AD - FSMO • DNS • DHCP • Exchange • Certificate Holder • User Data • SharePoint • Applications • FS-NSSB (2008)
Install • Create answer file from installation DVD • Save answer file to root of USB key • Don’t change answer file name • Bring lunch back • DO NOT TOUCH!
Post-Install • FV-NSSB (2003) • AD – Backup DC • Exchange • Certificate Holder • RWW/OWA • User Data • SharePoint • Applications • FS-NSSB (2008) • AD - FSMO • DNS • DHCP (No settings)
Common Install Errors • Source tool not run • Self explanatory, run the source tool on Source server • SP1 not installed • Check for SBS2003 SP1 (Not Server SP1) • HK_LM\Software\Microsoft\Small Business Server\Service Pack Number • If the key doesn’t exist, SP1 is not installed
Replication Failures • Replication Taking too long • Check your services (rebooting will reset some) • Fix Registry • SourceHK_LM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTFrs\Parameters\Backup/Restore\Process at Startup\BurFlags = D4 • DestinationHK_LM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTFrs\Parameters\Backup/Restore\Process at Startup\BurFlags = D2HK_LM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\SysvolReady = 1 • Stop NTFRS on both, restart Source NTFRS first, then Destination
Cleanup • Setup DHCP Ranges • Let Synchronize for 90 minutes • Setup GPO’s to replace login scripts
Moving • FV-NSSB (2003) • AD – Backup DC • Exchange • Certificate Holder • RWW/OWA • Firewall Ports • User Data • SharePoint • Applications • FS-NSSB (2008) • AD - FSMO • DNS • DHCP
Begin the Move - SSL Certificate • If you use SSL Certificate it needs to be moved • Make sure you export ALL certificates (GoDaddy issues 3, 2 for GoDaddy, 1 for your site) • After importing and installing, run “Fix My Network” wizard • If the Certificate is moved BEFORE Public Folders a new Self-Signed Cert must be issued on SOURCE server
Move Exchange • Move Mailboxes • Be prepared to loose a few emails • Start Small to verify settings • Move Offline Address Book • Move Public Folders • Backup Public Folders to a mailbox • After moving Exchange, re-point Firewall • Disable Exchange services on Source until you know it works on Destination • Migration Help file recommends uninstalling Exchange here, we recommend waiting until the end
Moving • FV-NSSB (2003) • AD – Backup DC • User Data • SharePoint • Applications • FS-NSSB (2008) • AD - FSMO • DNS • DHCP • Exchange • Certificate Holder • RWW/OWA
SharePoint • Option 1 • Manually copy files & create new site • Option 2 • Follow Migration Guide to move site to *NEWSERVER*\OldCompanyWeb • Use STSADM to move files & settings • stsadm –o export –urlhttp://oldcompanyweb–filename *.bak –includeusersecurity–overwrite • stsadm –o import –urlhttp://companyweb –filename *.bak –includeusersecurity–overwrite • Delete OldCompanyWeb
Users and Groups • No Users or Groups show up in SBS Console until this is done • Must be done manually at any time during migration • Using ADSI Edit, open each user/group and change specified attribute
Moving • FV-NSSB (2003) • AD – Backup DC • User Data • Applications • FS-NSSB (2008) • AD - FSMO • DNS • DHCP • Exchange • Certificate Holder • RWW/OWA • SharePoint
Applications • Different for every client • Plan for incompatibility • Plan buffer time • Call support
Moving • FV-NSSB (2003) • AD – Backup DC • User Data • FS-NSSB (2008) • AD - FSMO • DNS • DHCP • Exchange • Certificate Holder • RWW/OWA • SharePoint • Applications
Data • Most time consuming – plan accordingly • Get Share names from Source Server • Always “pull” data • (ie Use Destination server to move data across, cuts packets by 1/3rd) • Robocopy script: • robocopy \\FV-NSSB\UserShares \\FS-NSSB\UserShares /E /COPY:DATSO /V /LOG:C:\Copyresults.txt • /V is not in Migration Help File, tells Robocopy to list files which did not copy correctly • Disable user access to shares during data move
Cleanup • FV-NSSB (2003) • AD – Backup DC • Exchange Services • FS-NSSB (2008) • AD - FSMO • DNS • DHCP • Exchange • Certificate Holder • RWW/OWA • SharePoint • Applications • User Data
Finish Migration • Remove Exchange • Move Shared Printers to Destination with same name • Run DCPROMO and remove AD from Source • Failed to transfer floating point role to FS-NSSB • This error means your DNS is still pointed at your source server, point it to the Destination server and restart DCPROMO • NetDom • Remove old server name from DNS/ADSI • netdomcomputername FS-NSSB /add:FV-NSSB.nssb.ihn • Add DWORD:HK_LM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\parameters\DisableStrictNameChecking = 1
Connecting a PC • Navigate to http://connect • Click Start Connect Computer Program • Run Through Wizard • Remapping profiles works well • Don’t create computer name on server first • Add SBS 2008 Vista Gadget
Using GPO’s with SBS 2008 • Create a new GPO for your login script • Vista, XP, & 2003 need Client Side Extensions (Automatic Update) • Use Preferences for Vista • Create EnableLinkedConnections DWORD registry key:HK_LM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\System\EnableLinkedConnections = 1 • Preferences work with XP if XmlLite is installed (Not an automatic update)
Why we like SBS 2008 • Improved Mobility • RWW Improvements • 8TB Exchange limit • SharePoint 3.0 • Exchange 2007 & OWA • 64 Bit • WSUS 3.0 • Group Policy Preferences • Published Applications with SBS Premium • Connect Computer
