WADMigrator-ServerMigrator Permission Issues

Windows 7 Operating Systems - Desktop/Laptops:

Issue:
Unable to install the scheduling service client on any Windows 7 workstation within the environment. Console indicates that “the installation path cannot be determined”

Diagnosis:
Remote Registry is set to Manual and is not started
UAC is enabled on the workstations

Resolution:
Set the Remote Registry service to Automatic
Disable UAC on the Windows 7 Desktops/laptops/Tablets/Workstations.

Both Items can be modified via Active Directory Group Policy. The latter policy requires a reboot.


Windows 2008 Server’s

Issue:
Unable to install the scheduling service client on any Windows 2008 Servers within the environment. Console indicates that “the installation path cannot be determined”

Diagnosis:
UAC is not completely disabled. The following registry key has the following value set:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Policies\System\ConsentPromptBehaviorUser. This key has a value set to 1. This is not the default setting.

An explanation of this setting is as follows:

User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users
The User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users policy setting controls the behavior of the elevation prompt for standard users.

The options are:
Automatically deny elevation requests. When an operation requires elevation of privilege, a configurable access denied error message is displayed. An enterprise that is running desktops as standard user may choose this setting to reduce help desk calls. *****Has a value of 0 in the registry*****

Prompt for credentials on the secure desktop. (Default) When an operation requires elevation of privilege, the user is prompted on the secure desktop to enter a different user name and password. If the user enters valid credentials, the operation continues with the applicable privilege. *****Has a value of 3 in the registry*****

Prompt for credentials. When an operation requires elevation of privilege, the user is prompted to enter an administrative user name and password. If the user enters valid credentials, the operation continues with the applicable privilege. *****Current Setting****** and has the value of 1

These are the available settings:

0 = Automatically deny elevation requests
1 = Prompt for credentials on the secure desktop
3 (Default) = Prompt for credentials on the secure desktop


Please refer to the following link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd835564(WS.10).aspx#BKMK_StandardUserPromptBehavior

Resolution:
On all Windows 2008 Servers, the ConsentPromptBehaviorUser key must have a value of 3 (which is the default Windows 2008 setting). A reboot is not necessary for this change to take effect.

The above changes are mandatory and were part of the Checklist provided to the customer as part of the pre-migration checklist.

Special Thanks

A special Thanks goes to Bruno Zaffino from Compucom for his diligence and relentless effort to trouble shoot the challenges faced by the domain migration at the Government of Ontario Migration Project.

Top Five Server Migration Mistakes.

1. Server Downtime
Server downtime is probably the most-heard concern when performing a migration. This is because most migration processes require the source server be offline, either during the conversion process or during the recovery. However the Winzero solution doesn't require the server to be offline and not accessible to the users.

Winzero's ServerMigrator has addressed this issue through real-time replication that transfers the data to the new platform while the server and application remain online and available to users and then failover with minimal interruption. This process minimizes downtime for business-critical systems for disaster recovery, so why not use it for a server migration?

2. Late Night and Weekends
Get your weekends back. One of the greatest myths about server migrations is that they need to be performed during off-hours when no one is using the servers or server data that is being migrated. This is usually because the server migration can't capture changes to the data after the migration starts.

This isn't the case with asynchronous replication migration products, where data can change on the older server and replicate to the migration target server in real time. With ServerMigrator, real-time replication, migrations can be performed during normal business hours and then failed over to the target server once all the data changes have been captured and transferred to the new system.

3. P2V Conversion Process Failed
We have heard of many people complaining about the pain of the P2V (physical to virtual) process or virtual server migration they are going through, but they can't be bothered to spend a couple hundred dollars for a product that works and can make the nightmare go away.

We can't say we have much sympathy for those who try to perform mission critical functions with free tools that promise the world, but we do respect their tenacity.

4. Compatability Issuses
I hate when that happens.

There is nothing worse than getting within spitting distance of the finish line and breaking your leg. Some of the most common mistake that we have seen occur because of not preparing for the migration by reading the pre-migration checklist prior to starting the migration.

Download the Winzero Premigration Checklist with the migration product before you begin the migration.

A little planning can go along way, but having a tested process that can perform consistently and also minimize downtime will keep you from pulling out your hair.

5. Migration Succeeded but Users are Locked Out.
So, the migration's been completed, only none of the users can logon, and there begins a whole new nightmare.

There are many reasons why this happens, and it could be any combination of the factors mentioned above. Is it the free tool that was downloaded to perform the migration, the hardware being migrated, or the virtual platform? Who knows, but ServerMigrator allows you to "set and forget" and avoid this monster of user account and password conflict issues.

In summary, perform your server migration and ask what works best and what to avoid. Learn more about server provisioning or performing successful server migrations with Winzero serverMigrator or Winzero ServerMigrator Lite.
