Remote management problem of server on workgroup network

0
0

I am setting up a new Windows server (2012 Core) remotely managed from a Windows 8 machine, both are on a workgroup not a domain, and I'm having a real issue with server manager.

What's working:  I have server manager able to find the server and pull basic management info back.  I can open Computer Management for the remote machine and powershell and remote desktop just fine.  I can also use Hyper-V Manager, at least it starts and discovers the server.

What's not working: When I go to File and Storage Services in Server Manager and try to refresh the volume or disk information I get an error.

"Error occurred during enumeration of disks: The WinRM client cannot process the request.  If authentication scheme is different from Kerberos..."

The message goes on to tell me that I should have the server name in the trustedhosts list - I've actually done that.  I was getting this error yesterday to just pull the basic management info and get the computer management working.  The problem in this case was the firewall on both the client and server.  On the client I've disabled the firewall.  On the server I have enabled the remote volume management rules and the event log rules.  That got the Server Manager working and the Computer Management working.  

One thing is that once I'm in the Computer Management app I can see the disks and storage fine, I just can't see it from Server Manager.

Any help would be appreciated.

WIndows Server 2012 GUI Navigation - Remote Desktop

0
0

Hi

Call me a luddite, but i am not a big fan of the Windows 8 GUI.

I can't find admin apps etc.

The main issue is in a remote desktop session to 2012. It works OK in full screen mode, i.e. the Windows Key does get mapped to the screen and you have some hope in navigating around. However in Windowed mode, it is very hard to find the top right / left points to bring up the "Charms Bar"

=> Is there some other way of bring the Charms Bar up (remember, the windows key does not always work inside the RDC in windowed mode) ?

=> Some way to give me the old Server 2008 R2 menu system ?

As a server is generally not on a tablet, or on a touch screen, it is a bit disapppointing Microsoft have not provided a less tablet like access mode to Server 2012.

DirectAccess 2012 ADMX files??

0
0

Hi,

When I go to view the settings on my newly created DirectAccess 2012 GPOs, the server one in particular, there is a long list of "Extra registry settings" because "display names for some settings cannot be found", see picture below. I understand that I need to have appropriate amdx files for this to work however I see this on the 2012 DA server itself which surely ought to have the appropriate files?

In an attempt to resolve this I set up a central store and copied into it all the admx and adml files from the winsxs directory following the instructions here -  http://blogs.technet.com/b/craigf/archive/2012/08/28/upgrading-the-admx-central-store-files-from-windows-7-2008r2-to-windows-8-2012.aspx but that didn't help.

Any further ideas how to fix this / what admx files it's missing?

Thanks,

Tim

Windows Backup onto RAID1 (dynamic disks) 3TB - hangs

0
0

Welcome.
Description of the problem.
Freshly installed Windows Server 2012.
The problem when I tried to configure Windows Backup (from GUI console), I want to save data volumen RAID1 composed of two dynamic disks 3TB. Unfortunately, any attempt to create a backup ends the same way - the system hangs. In event viewer I do not see anything meaningful.
After the restart, the data that was previously stored on the disk (RAID1 volumen) are OK.

For disk resynchronization is performed as follows:

http://sv039.sendspace.pl/cache/img/2012/11/26/38/8a28312d18726b855592ba4.1100x1100.jpg

I tried several times to repeat the same procedure - the result is the same - the system hangs.


There is no problem when instead of RAID1 (dynamic disks) use the disk as the primary partition with a capacity of 3TB... but I want software RAID :/

Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

 

Server 2012 - DirectAccess / Windows 8 NameResolutionFailure

Hi,

I set up Windows server 2012 Standard, and i configured DirectAccess.I also did all the pre-configuration, such as firewall rules, NAT forwarding and so on. I run the "single adapter" solution.

My Windows 8 client works and connects to DA when im on our internal network, but as soon as i have to connect to DA from a external network, it just keeps connecting, and it never connects. The command "Get-DAConnectionStatus" shows:

Status: Error

Substatus: NameResolutionError

I have tried alot of googleing, but i cant find any solution to my problem, can someone help?

Thanks!

Windows Server 2012 - Page File Recommendations

DirectAccess possible ssl issue

0
0

I am attempting to test a basic installation of Windows 2012 RC DirectAccess.  The server is not configured for any other roles.  After installing the DA role, I ran the wizard for a basic config.  I chose the edge device with 1 nic behind firewall and specified the external dns name.  Since windows 7 will not be used now, 3rd party certs were not selected, self signed certs are being generated by the DA server itself.  The DA server is the network locator server.  I opened port 443 on the firewall.  The client is Windows 2012 RC on a laptop.  The client was added to the appropriate AD group and picked up the new policy.

On the corporate lan, the client correctly identifies the network and does not try to connect to DA.  On a public network, the client does try to connect.  An ipconfig reveals that the iphttpsinterface is assigned an ipv6 address.  The command"netsh interface httpstunnel show interfaces" shows the correct url, last error code 0x0, and interface status is 'IPHTTPS interface active'.  Additionally, the firewall shows a small amount of data to and from that ip.

While that all sounds good, I cannot actually access the corporate network.  Also, the client does not appear in the Remote Access Management Console.  Thus far I have not found any directaccess logs to look through, and I do not see any directaccess entries in the event viewer.  However, I did correlate two Schannel events in the System Log on the server each time I try to connect the client.

The first is event id 36874, "An TLS 1.0 connection request was received from a remote client application, but none of the cipher suites supported by the client application are supported by the server. The SSL connection request has failed."

The second is event id 36888, "A fatal alert was generated and sent to the remote endpoint. This may result in termination of the connection. The TLS protocol defined fatal error code is 40. The Windows SChannel error state is 1204."

Most of what I've read about those error relates to generating certs from CA's, not something involved in this setup.  Has anyone seen this issue before?

Storage Space : How to get real disk usage outside server manager? (Powershell ?)

0
0

Hi

I use Storage space on a headless windows2012 server. 

Server is fully remotely managed and I use a tool like MobilePcMonitor  to monitor it and being alerted when something appends (update, cpu/ram workload, temperature, drive health, etc)

But with Storage Spaces (with fin provisionning) I can't manage the real free space on the real drive.
I have a 50TB StorageSpaces, but "only"  10TB of real disk space, and almost the half is used.

With the monitoring tool I can only check the 50TB virtualDrive, I can't find a way to know the real disk space, and the real free space. .
These values exists, and you can find them under the proprieties of the StoragePool into the Windows Server Manager.

I've checked performances counter, but find nothing Storagepool related.
I'm looking to find theses value with Powershell, but I find nothing like this (checked all the docs I can find on technet, unsuccessfully)

The goal is to be notified when real drive start to be full so I can manage to add a new drive on the Pool... Today I need to manually check on the server manager, where everything else can be monitored through a simple tool like mobilePCMonitor or SNMP.

Does someone here know how we can fetch these datas ?

Thanks

windows server 2012 standard licence and remote app

0

I want to install windows hyper-v 2012 server as core meral installation. How can I get licence to instal windows server 2012 standard as one virtual machine? Is it possible in any way? 

Or when I buy standard edition and install it as base OS , then on the standard I turn on hyper-v role, can I install 2 virtual standards on virtuals with original physical licence? I am considering that one virtual to be running remote app role so I need to install DC to some machine. Can be this feature installed on that core server ? 

I have reading licences, FAQ's for a while but can't find straight answer to ths questions.

DirectAccess with Demand-Dial interface

0
0

Hi Everyone,

I'm trialling Windows Server 2012 at home and thought I'd try out DirectAccess, unfortunately configuring it for the first time I'm getting the error message:

"An external adapter with a public IP address, IPv6 Enabled and without a domain profile cannot be located"

So a couple of things about my setup:

  • I'm running Server 2012 with DirectAccess and RRAS installed on top of Server 2012 with Hyper-V.
  • My ISP supports IPv6, but my modem doesn't natively, so I've configured RRAS as a demand-dial interface and set my modem to "dumb mode" - This also helps avoid double-NAT
  • I successfully receive an IPv6 Configuration
  • I have enabled NAT on the demand-dial interface to share the net with the rest of my home network - This works fine.
  • I am trying to configure DirectAccess as an Edge topology.

Based on this, I believe that I've met the first two requirements  (public IP address, IPv6 enabled)

There are two things that could be the problem by my thinking, but I'm not sure on how to solve it.

The demand-dial interface is not appearing in Network and Sharing Center which means that DirectAccess might not even see it and if it can, I cannot tell if it's configured as a domain profile. It does appear in IPConfig with it's IPv6 address and it's IPv4 address.

Any help would be appreciated.

JBOD and Storage Spaces question

0
0

Hello,

I want to buy a JBOD and connect it two Server 2012 Servers and run Storage Spaces on them, so that I can make use of High Availability within Hyper-V etc.  My question is, can I run Storage Spaces and also the Hyper-V role on the same Server in terms of does Microsoft see this as a support solution?  The last thing I want is not run this in my environment, and for it not to be supported.

Ideally I want to keep the physical setup as basic as possible, and if I can get away with not buying a third node just for Storage Spaces then that would be better for me.

Any help on this is greatly appreciated.
