Log-InfoHighLight "You can either uninstall Internet Explorer using this script and open the appliance URL https://$machineHostName`:44368 on any other browser except Internet Explorer." Log-Input "Do you want to remove Internet Explorer browser from this machine now? This will force a machine reboot immediately. Press [Y] to continue with the uninstallation or [N] to manually uninstall Internet Explorer..." $userChoice = Read-Host }while ("y", "n" -NotContains $userChoice.Trim()) if ($userChoice.Trim() -eq "n") { $global:WarningCount++ Log-Error "Skipping IE uninstallation..." Log-Warning "Warning #$global:WarningCount User Action Required - Remove Internet Explorer as the default browser and then launch Azure Migrate appliance configuration manager using the shortcut placed on the desktop.`n" } else { dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:Internet-Explorer-Optional-amd64 /NoRestart # Restart the machine shutdown -r -t 60 -f Log-Success "[OK]" Log-InfoHighLight 'Restarting machine $machineHostName in 60 seconds. To abort this restart execute "shutdown /a" - Not Recommended.' # Exit the script as restart is pending. exit 0 } } The script will call this function and remove IE from Windows Server. If the user chooses to do so, it causes an expected restart to finalize the removal. The function is being called AFTER the cleanup and after all components have been installed. It will not the script resume where it left off before the restart. Suggestion: - make the cleanup of components (at every run of the script) optional using WMIprovider is very slow, too and causes high CPU load. - rehome the IE removal in the front of the script OR alternatively include a message that this is the last operation of the script and it does not need to be run again after the potential restart. Please also include a clear warning that disabling IE, will break IE mode for Edge. It is prominently used for WSUS Update Import etc., not necessarily on a Hyper-V host though. I do not see the reason why you remove IE, the package will also install MS Edge, if it does not already exist. Which is good enough.Digital event: Modernize and Migrate with Hybrid Flexibility

App Service Migration: Error: RegisterTool error
Whilst using theAzure App Service Migration Assistant tool to migrate an IIS app to Azure App Service, on theAzure Migrate Hub screen, after selecting a project and clicking Send Migration Data, we got the below error: Step: Sending server discovery data to Azure Migrate (step 1 of 1). Error message: Step error details: Error: RegisterTool error: Error: RegisterTool error: Error: Error registering Tool: [object Object] It's unclear from this what the error is / what steps we should take to better understand the cause / resolve the underlying issue. Any advice on how best to proceed would be appreciated.Migrating VMs with greater than 8TB disk
Hello All, I wanted to see if anyone had experience with migrating VMs to Azure with data disks that are greater than 8TB in size. How did you handle it? can we use databox for something like that? This would be from a VMware environment on prem to Azure. Thanks
MIGRATION OF PHYSICAL SERVER USING AZURE SITE RECOVERY
Dear Team, If the server is running with both application and database on a single physical server is there is any kind of catch while migrating the server using ASR? Along with that also help on the licensing.How windows & sql license will work on cloud?SQL Migration to Azure Cloud
I have implemented a basic C# application connected with On premises SQL Server, I am going to migrate the same database and the data to Azure cloud using Microsoft Migration Tool, After the migration without touching the coding part I am debugging the same application (Changed the connections string only). On premises sql database connected with SQL Server, In the database I am running this query through management studio and I am getting the following results, Same query I am deploying through my developed C# application, I am testing the connection with sql authentication credentials String source = @”Data Source =” + textBox1.Text; Initial Catalog = CheckPostingDb; User Id =” + textBox2.Text;; Password=” + textBox3.Text; SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(source); con.Open(); MessageBox.Show(“Db Connected”); Once it’s succeeded, I’m running the same query through sqlcommand function in C#, got the same results in the text box String sqlSelectQuery = “SELECT COUNT(*) AS MREQUESTS FROM MREQUESTS WHERE REQSTATE=1”; SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sqlSelectQuery, con); if (dr.Read()) { textBox4.Text = Convert.ToString(dr[“MREQUESTS”]) } con.Close(); Let’s migrate to Cloud I have deployed a sample database in the Azure Cloud with SQL authentication, It’s just a blank database and it doesn’t have any tables Tried the same query here and returning with failed errors, Start ab new project type as Migration In this step I am specifying the source and target server details In my scenario Source server is in localhost and target sql server is in Azure could Source Server — localhost , Target Server — gohulan.database.windows.net Select the Correct database from the source server to Migrate to cloud, In the target server select the correct database from Azure cloud, in my Azure cloud I have only one database named CheckPostingDb Once its’s connected I am going to select the objects or tables from the source database that I would like to migrate In my testing environment I am selecting only one table, my table is MREQUESTS since I am targeting the results only from this table through my C# application. Once the table is ticked, I have generated the SQL script Once the script is generated, I am deploying the schema, /******** DMA Schema Migration Deployment Script Script Date: 2/24/2020 12:50:55 PM ********/ /****** Object: Table [dbo].[MREQUESTS] Script Date: 2/24/2020 12:50:55 PM ******/ SET ANSI_NULLS ON GO SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON GO IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N’[dbo].[MREQUESTS]’) AND type in (N’U’)) BEGIN CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MREQUESTS]( [ID] [bigint] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [RID] [uniqueidentifier] NOT NULL, [ReqTime] [datetime] NOT NULL, [ReqState] [tinyint] NOT NULL, [RecordType] [int] NOT NULL, [Data1] [bigint] NULL, [ServiceID] [int] NULL, [FirstRequestTime] [datetime] NULL, [OfflinePosting] [bit] NULL, [ServiceHostInfo] [nvarchar](80) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NULL, CONSTRAINT [PK_MREQUESTS] PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ( [ID] ASC )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ) END GO IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.indexes WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N’[dbo].[MREQUESTS]’) AND name = N’AK_MREQUESTS_RID’) CREATE UNIQUE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [AK_MREQUESTS_RID] ON [dbo].[MREQUESTS] ( [RID] ASC )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) GO IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.indexes WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N’[dbo].[MREQUESTS]’) AND name = N’IX_MREQUESTS_2') CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [IX_MREQUESTS_2] ON [dbo].[MREQUESTS] ( [ReqTime] ASC, [ReqState] ASC )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, SORT_IN_TEMPDB = OFF, DROP_EXISTING = OFF, ONLINE = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) GO After I deployed the generated script in the previous step, it doesn’t give any errors or warnings. Successfully Executed. Once the script is migrated, I can see my table was created in the Azure cloud. But my query was returning with 0 results, it means that MREQUESTS table has been deployed but not the data yet. I am migrating the data as well in my next step Once after I started the migration it will start the process to send the data to cloud, time depends on the data capacity and the network speed. Since my table doesn’t have huge data it finished with in short time without any warning or errors. Running the same query in the Query Editor in Azure to check my data, it’s succeeded and returned with same value as on-premise query returns earlier. Returning to my C# application and no changes made in the application but changing the connection string by changing the server name and sql authentication credentials, Debugging the application to confirm it’s functioning properly, tested my connection with correct sql credentials Wow the results as expected, means Migration is succeeded.
