We are using IAS for RADIUS in Windows 2000. I want to move our IAS server
to a W2K3 server. How can I export the data in our existing IAS server and
import it into the new W2K3 server?

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Jeff --

You can use the command netsh aaaa show config <path>\file.txt on the W2K
IAS server. This will export the server configuration to a file. Then copy
the file to the Windows 2003 IAS server.

Import the file to the WS03 IAS server with the command netsh exec
<path>\file.txt.

For more info, see the IAS Help, as this procedure is documented in the
"How To" section.

Note that you can export a W2K server config and then import it into WS03,
but you cannot do the reverse (WS03 --> W2K).

James,

Thanks for the suggestion, but I am still having problems importing the
config. When I run netsh exec on the W2K3 box, I get the following error:

Failed attempting to set the aaaa configuration due to license violation.


Any ideas what may be causing this error?

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Jeff --

If you are running Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition, there are some
limitations that include:

-- You can configure no more than 50 RADIUS clients (NAS's)
-- You can configure no more than two Remote RADIUS server groups
-- You can't configure RADIUS clients by IP address range

Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition and Datacenter Edition do not have
these limitations.

Since Windows 2000 IAS does not have proxy functionality, I assume that
your W2K IAS server is configured with more than 50 NAS's, so when you
attempt to import the configuration it creates a license violation.

If you do have more than 50 RADIUS clients on the W2K server...offhand the
only workaround I can think of (and I have not tested this) is to delete
some RADIUS clients in W2K IAS, then export the configuration for import
into WS03 IAS.

Obviously that creates another issue, which is only solved by adding
another IAS server or by moving to Enterprise Edition.

If the number of RADIUS clients is not the problem, please let me know and
I will continue working with you to help you resolve the issue. Due to the
holiday this weekend that probably will not occur until sometime next week
though.

IAS issues

Jeff, I came across this old thread and I am having the same exact problem as you did. Just wondering what was the fix for your issue. The problem is the same problem, I'm trying to export config files from W2K to Windows Server 2003 enterprise edition and receiving the "Failed to set the aaaa configuration due to license violation" message. Any help on this issue would be great! Also does anybody know if:

(1)there is going to be an issue if I export the config files to Win2003 and have the W2K server still online. Can I have these servers on the network at the same time?
(2)If I apply the config files on the 2003 Server is there a way to revert back to the original config files.
