Single Site Migration Report for Fort Gordon

Day one was getting their LCC back to operation, and sending s&e with their two test users. Once this was completed an assessment of the rest of the existing components was made.

The DSA was determined to be in good working order and the upgrade had been completed recently by the help desk. The MWS was in working order except the MWS icon would go red and still goes red intermittently throughout the day. The PUA and the MLA are not in working order, Lockheed is planning to re-install from the ground up. The LMTA although removed from the detailed design was still connected and seemed to be operational. Lockheed plans on removing as well with no plans to recover equipment.

Day two the backup groupware server was installed and the two test LCC user accounts were migrated to the BGWS. One lesson learned so far was while installing SP2 for Exchange the install failed. Upon restarting the box, only the Exchange directory service would supposedly start, but I believe this to be false, also the error message "DSAMAIN.EXE entry point not found in netif.dll" and some hex type addresses. To correct this error, it was necessary to copy the DSAMAIN.EXE from another exchange server over the old file, reboot and re-apply SP2. After this was completed successfully, all services started. This may have been an isolated incident since we did not encounter this while installing the PGWS.

Day three will be the shutdown of the commercial site to complete the migration. We are planning on shutting down Ft. Gordon's production Exchange server at 1700 Thursday in order to load DMS extensions. I have a 0900 meeting with ICS (??) not sure if that is the correct organization name, to discuss and help resolve some local Fortezza card hardware interoperability problems I will also be providing them guidance to prepare them to install MG Cuviello's client. For some reason the DOIM folks are telling me the General's laptop has RAMBUS ram in it and Fortezza will not work with this type of memory. Although there is such a thing it is a very new technology that I don't think laptop vendors have begun deploying it. I believe they are mixed up with CARDBUS PCMCIA slots. Will find out tomorrow."
