Hello Community,

I am new to Casper and this community. Our primary engineer accepted a position with another company and I have taken his position. I am learning all things Casper and diving deeper into Mac Administration.

We are currently working on a the following project:

Project: Migrating our current Mac Server infrastructure to a Windows Servers Infrastructure.

Why, you may ask:

Answer: Open Directory is not meeting our scalability like Active Directory.

Currently, I have been working with JAMF on migrating the JSS from our Mac Server to our new Windows Server. Al at JAMF has been AWESOME!

A migration of the JSS would have been simple but we are also changing the name of our domain. Which means the following:

  1. Enroll each device into the new Windows JSS
  2. Remove computer form Open Directory (old domain)
  3. Remove/Delete account on computer attached to old domain ------ sudo dscl delete /users/leesmith
  4. Bind each device to the domain from company.lan to company.org
  5. Migrate User Profile from old user profile to new user profile ----- For example: Move leesmith profile to new lee.smith profile
  6. Chown permissions on new profile lee.smith ----- sudo chown -R lee.smith /Users/lee.smith

So, far we have been able to create the following:
1. Create a quick add package and policy on the old JSS instance to enroll devices in the new Windows JSS
2. Bind computers to the new domain

We are still working on the other steps.

Questions:
- Does anyone have a script on unbinding the devices from the Old Domain?
---- Note: We have tried the script from: - https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/viewProductFile.html?fid=442
--------- The script is not working, we think the script is not working because file locations have changed over the course of Mac OS's.
- Has anyone performed this type of migration?
--- If so, some items to think about.

Any thoughts or suggestions or welcome.

Please remember I am a noob.

Thank you in advance.

@lee.smith Welcome! to the community! to answer your question on migration from OLD to NEW domain heres a script from @rtrouton just fill in the values for your environment and should be good.

"#!/bin/sh

Determine OS version

osvers=$(sw_vers -productVersion | awk -F. '{print $2}')

Environment settings

LDAPdomain="new_ldap_server_here" # Fully qualified DNS of new LDAP server
oldLDAPdomain="old_ldap_server_here" # Fully qualified DNS of old LDAP server
oldADdomain="olddomain.com" # Fully qualified DNS name of the old Active Directory Domain
oldADdomainname="OLDDOMAIN" # Name of the old AD Domain as specified in the search paths
newADdomain="newdomain.com" # Fully qualified DNS name of the new Active Directory Domain
newADdomainname="NEWDOMAIN" # Name of the new AD Domain as specified in the search paths

These variables probably don't need to be changed

Determining if any directory binding exists

2: Plenty of us on the nation performed some type of migration from OD to AD or AD to New AD. I'm sure theres others out here willing to chime in its weekend so most folks are really out drinking beer or enjoying themselves away from the madness.

3: Some Questions : Why would you migrate your current JSS away from the Mac OS server to Windows? Didn't mention what OS you were on. Mixed Environment? Let me know anything else i can answer

No need we all started off as a noob!!

Thank you @MAD0oM !

I appreciate you chiming in. Thank you for the script! We will take a look on Monday and see if we can get it to work.

Questions and Answers:
- Why would you migrate your current JSS away from the Mac OS server to Windows?
-- This decision was made before me. I can assume or hypothesize that the Mac Server is older and need of replacement. Since we are moving to Active Directory it made since to build out a virtual environment. We are an educational institution so pricing is great!

  • Didn't mention what OS you were on. Mixed Environment? -- We are currently a Mac PRO Server environment. We are decommissioning our Mac Servers and moving them to Windows Server environment running Windows Server Datacenter 2012 R2. We will have a physical host with about 5 VM's running on it. One of them being the JSS.

Thank you, I understand on some forums noobs can have some lets say fun.

@lee.smith If I'm reading it right and you want to remove the OD connection from the Macs before joining the new AD domain, you can accomplish it with a one line command added to a policy in Casper:

dsconfigldap -r name.of.od

So if I had an OD connection on the clients like this:

I would do the following:

  1. Create a policy in Casper set to run once per computer at startup
  2. In the "Execute Command" field of the "Files and Processes" section, enter the command dsconfigldap -r my.od.domain.com
  3. Scope to the computers you want to run it on and restart them

If the computers are already on and restarting would be cumbersome, set it on the recurring check-in trigger instead.

Then you can use a normal AD bind in the JSS to get them hooked up to the new directory.

Forgot to say, if you run it on a computer that doesn't have the OD connection, it will just get an error (something like Error: Node name wasn't found. (2000)). This wouldn't have any adverse effect so (unless you really want to), its not really worth the effort to check if they are connected first.

Thanks @davidacland

We were running into a similar issue using the script from

Thank you!

Hey @MAD0oM I wonder if you could edit your post to enclose the script above in the script marks that the forum provides. Right now, all the script comments that have a # in front of them are showing as headings, and all commands enclosed with back tick marks ( ` ) are not appearing correctly. You didn't do anything wrong. Its just that since the forum now uses Markdown its translating some of those marks into text formatting - basically Markdown doing its job.
Besides looking a little odd, if anyone copies your script as is from here, they wouldn't have a working script without doing a bit of editing. Since there are all types of skill levels of people here, someone not familiar with scripting could get a little tripped up.

You can highlight the whole script and just click the button above the editor window that looks like >_ to enclose it, or just put a ``` in front of the #!/bin/sh and another ``` at the very end of the script.

Thanks @mm2270! I would have beating my head against the wall.

Thanks again!

@lee.smith,

The script @MAD0oM is referencing is also available from here:

https://github.com/rtrouton/rtrouton_scripts/tree/master/rtrouton_scripts/open-ldap_migration_script

It was written to migrate from one OpenLDAP domain to another, so it may not fit this situation. An accompanying blog post on how I used it is available from here:

https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2013/11/22/migrating-macs-from-one-openldap-domain-to-another-openldap-domain/

However, I had a similar migration to perform (moving from one AD domain to another) and it may be possible to adapt the process I used to this situation. I have a post on what I did which is available from here:

https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2013/11/27/using-deploystudio-as-an-active-directory-domain-migration-tool/

I need to migrate users over from one AD domain to another. @rtrouton I was looking at your blog entry and your example with Deploy Studio. If I just unbind the machine from the old domain and rebind to the new one with Casper and then run the script will it work ?

@rcorbin if you have unbound from the old AD domain and then bound to the new one there shouldn't be anything more to do. This is assuming you are keeping the users and specifically the UUIDs the same in the old and the new domain.

Which script are you referring to above?

In case anyone needs it, I created a script to migrate client/user systems from one Directory Service to another (AD to OD or OD to AD), taking care of creating new mobile user, setting filevault, and changing home directory permissions.
Also created a script to migrate a large file system where user id numbers and GUID will be changing (file server or SAN).

Heres the github to the client/user migration script:

Here's the github to the filesystem migration script:

Very nice! Thanks for sharing :)
