After adding Server 2016 Essentials to a 2003 Standard domain and making it the DC, I added all the computers using the Connector. Users and computers appear in the Dashboard and AD. On the 2003 server, there was a share named Users to which each person had personal access. When I create a new user on 2016, the user gets such a folder in c:\server folders\users. I want to move all the User folders from 2003 and give the same user access security. Is there a way to do this without manually re-creating security ...
The migration is finished. DNS is cleaned up. I was going through AD computers and saw the old server even though I had demoted it and disjoined it from the domain. When I went to delete the computer object 'XYZserver" in Active Directory, it asked me to confirm subtree deletion. Since I no longer use nor need this server I assume that's ok. Can I go ahead and delete the old server computername object from AD and it's associated 'subtrees'?
I'm doing some cleanup on a new SBS2011 to Server 16 migration. Are any of these users still of use? Can any of them be deleted? __SBS8OPEAdmin Migration.8f3e7716-2011-43e4-96b1-aba62d229136 SBSMonAcct SharePoint Farm Account SharePoint Search Service Account Windows SBS Internal Web site Account
After what seemed a successful, new Windows Server 2016 Standard installation and CertifyTheWeb installed Let's Encrypt SSL Certificate, I have an alert in the Server Manager: Post-deployment Configuration failed: Configuration required for DirectAccess and VPN (RAS) at .

I received the following error on step 7, part 17 (see screenshot) when running the script: Install-ADDSDomainController -NoGlobalCatalog:$false -CreateDnsDelegation:$false -CriticalReplicationOnly:$false -DatabasePath "C:\Windows\NTDS" -DomainName $currentDomain -InstallDns:$true -LogPath "C:\Windows\NTDS" -NoRebootOnCompletion:$true -SysvolPath "C:\Windows\SYSVOL" -credential $cred -Force:$true -Confirm:$false -SafeModeAdministratorPassword (ConvertTo-SecureString 'ADRestoreModePassword_ChangeThis' -AsPlainText -Force) I checked that the domain admin was part of Schema Admins and Enterprise Admins (which it was). I noticed that the script created the new computer account (in a disabled state) on the small business server but the actual 2019 server was still in a workgroup so I enabled the account, moved it to the Domain ...

In migrating this Server 2003 Standard server to 2016 Essentials, I keep seeing an old domain name: HAYESW2K. The current domain is hayes.transport and this is what shows on the new server. Researching this a bit, I looked at the AD for Domains and Trusts on the 2003 server and see an entry named Domain name (pre-Windows 2000): and that shows HAYESW2K. The Domain functional level is Server 2003 as is the Forest functional level. I "think" everything is okay but I'm wondering why I see logon prompts for HAYESW2K\administrator rather than hayes.transport\administrator. Is this something to ...
Hi, I'm migrating from SBS2011 STD to Windows 2019 STD and have successfully exported/imported the printers to the new server. On the old SBS2011 I had my 3 x Ricoh printers NOT set up using a GPO as assumed in the migration guide on Step 15 " We assume that you have deployed printers on the old server according to How to deploy and install printers using group policies. " I realise that there is a guide on this website about deploying printers using a GPO but at the moment ...
I installed a new Server 2016 Essentials system to a client network as a migration from Server 2003. I added shared printers, all HP 42xx series. Staff added the new printers and tested printing but had problems. The following prints out when a print job is sent: PCL XL error Subsystem: IMAGE Error: illegalattributevalue Operator: readimage Position: 1657 The computers are Windows 7 64-bit and the server used the latest drivers...PCL 6 version that is likely for Windows 10.

Hi! I probably made a giant mistake... Totally forgot a member server in the migration process. So I have not performed step 13 "Remove old SBS 2011 Client Agents" and step 15 "Install the connector software from the WSE2016" on the member server. Now when I demoted the SBS2011 in step 24, the users cannot connect via RDP to the member server. Error message "The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted" Also when I try to login as administrator to the member server i get an error "There are ...

Hi, since updating the server from SBS2008 to exchange 2013 the clients do not connect anymore, although I already updated to outlook 2013 and tried to create a new profile, even by manual configuration. When accessing OWA I see that the mailboxes work and receive mails. Error messages state: can you please hint me to what I need to do to find out the details for this? migration went through fine in my eyes, so this is not clear to me. ...
Migrating SBS 2011 Exchange to Exchange 2019. I am having issues installing Exchange 2016. I have created a temporary virtual server, Exch-Temp and it is a member server. Exch-Temp is running Windows Server 2016 standard. - windows update has been run several times. Ran the power shell script - InstallDependenciesExchangeServer2016.ps1 Had to manually download and install .NET Framework 4.7.1 as well as Unified Communications Managed API 4.0 Run-time.

My previously setup domain name no longer works. I tried many times to repair to no avail. When I try to change the domain name I get the following message: A error occurred while setting up your domain name The domain name was not set up for your server. Wait a few minutes and run the wizard again. An unknown error occurred. Please wait a few minutes, and then try again. I am stuck in a loop I can't get out of.

In several of our WSE 2012 R2 networks, one or more of the workstations are laptops, which serve dual purposes. They function as a network workstation on the Essentials domain office network. In that environment, the laptops are set up with the standard Essentials configuration (e.g., DNS service provided by the Essentials server, which has a fixed IP address, etc.). That works fine until the second laptop purpose is invoked. The management personnel that have laptop workstations also need to use them when they travel. When used this way, they primarily connect to wireless networks. Unlike the ...
If I have an azure ad administrator acount and set up a new machine how do iI run the connector and add my local domain users? I got the connector to run but it fails. i suspect its because I've already connected with azuread account
Hello, I just completed all steps in your SBS2011 to 2016 migration documentation. After doing step "Reset Default Domain and Default Domain Controllers policy (optional)", the workstations are bring up the administrators logon or another user when hitting control-alt-delete to login. You can select "other user" and logon but I would prefer to have it the way it used to be before going through the last step. I did backup the policies (per your instructions). Can I just import them back or do you know a way to disable this type of login in to the workstations? ...
I learned the hard way that simple copying of SBSe 2011 client data does not make for a clean system upgrade. I need to include user's Redirected Folders and Active Directory. Which of the kits sold here are recommended for migrating Windows Small Business Server Essentials to a new Windows Server Standard 2019? Thank you in advance... Dan the LAN Man
Hi Mariëtte, It's me again, your problem child. :-) Today I followed the instructions to migrate public folders. At first everything went as expected; the only thing I was not sure about was how to verify whether the number of public folders was correct. (The script found 58 public folders, and the number of public folders users can see in Outlook is definitely fewer than that.) I assumed that the public folder count must have included some system, hidden public folders. Since every other step in your guide ran as expected, I proceeded. I started the migration batch ...
Step 18 states '...at the end, you must see Synced.' Does this mean I'm supposed to wait for a 'Synced' status before executing step 19?: Set-OrganizationConfig -PublicFoldersLockedForMigration: $true I _did_ execute step 19 while it was in the 'Syncing' status, and I have NOT moved to step 20. Please clarify if I am supposed to wait for a 'Synced' status before steps 19, 20, and 21.
Hello Mariëtte, Thank you for writing these tutorials, they are very helpful. I'm going through my first one now, and have a question on Step 9 'Migrate files, folders, and shares from SBS 2008 with DFSR'. I have completed the replication, it all worked as expected. The instructions say: "Once replication partners are configured you can change the UNC path to the new server. Users will never notice anything happened and if you are done just break the replication set." My specific questions are: Where you say 'change the UNC path to the ...
Finished migrating from SBS 2011 to 2016 Essentials completely. Follow up questions re: DFS Management - I followed your process in Chapter 12 to remove the replication folders that we created during Chapter 9. But DFS Management on the 2016 Essentials still has references in the namespace to the two default shared Essentials folders (Company and Users) that we never used for replication purposes, plus one additional shared folder I created from the Essentials dashboard that I also was NOT going to replicate. My question is three-fold: (1) do I need to do anything with ...
In the SBS2011 to Exchange 2016 migration document, 6. Configure Exchange Server 2016 certificates, a PFX certificate is used in the example. We use GoDaddy certs and they are delivered in a .CRT format. Will this work for the Exchange 2016 migration? If not, how to best generate or convert? Bruce
