Moving from Win Server 2008 to 2012 and MDT 2010 to 2012 help?

[agarabaghi]

So we finally moved over to server 2012 and im in the process of install MDT 2010 on the new server. I was wondering if there is a way to copy over all the stuff i have on the MDT 2010. The 2012 server is on a new VM... is there a simple way to copy the applications task sequences and everything else ive worked so hard on? Edited September 9, 2013 by agarabaghi

Its quite easy. We did it recently. Cant remember which guide I used but this one looks similar.

 

Try this : The Lacie Tech Blog: Migrating MDT 2010 from one server to another server

I did a basic install on the new box and copy and pasted them back and tweaked configs just as it says in that linked post and voilla worked fine and dandy

Just remember to add the applygpopack=NO to customsettings.ini .

[agarabaghi]

what does the applygpopack=no do? im not sure i ever changed it to yes?

[agarabaghi]

I just followed the guide... and had the network guy change the ip from the old server to the new server and im gertting this error: downloaded wdsnbp from 10.104.0.116 windows deployment services:pxe boot aborted

Mdt 2012 applies a local gpo pack which is new in 2012. However it may configure settings you leave as default. Which may cause problems.

Installed SCCM '12 over the summer but haven't used MDT much, most of the functionality seems to be already there! Did you check your licensing before upgrading to Win '12? Our licensing lets us have plenty of 2008r2 machines but the '12 rules are much less!

[agarabaghi]

So we got it to boot, but it seems to be for some reason pulling up the old MDT stuff, and it says my credentials are wrong when I try to log in...

 

i hate upgrading grrr

[agarabaghi]

I had the AD admin make sure the account was added on the server, i doulbe checked my bootstrap.ini file and it is indeed imaging02 and the network unc path under Mdt properties is \\IMAGING02\DeploymentShare$

 

any clue??

If you have a minint folder on the machine you are trying to deploy to it may try and contact the old server. Also re create your boot images and add to wds.

[agarabaghi]

I actually started with a fresh formatted machine. I mounted a win pe x64 ISO to the server and created a new .wim file from the boot file...

[agarabaghi]

I cannot get wds / mdt 2012 to work right =(

 

I have my network guy switch dhcp to the new server ip addess and i try to boot in. PXE says its talking to the new imaging server (imaging02) but when MDT loads it looks exactly like 2010... of course im only getting to the login screen...

 

Can anyone help?

[agarabaghi]
