2000 Server in 2003 domain with 2012 DC?

February 19, 2013, 10:51 am

One question I have relates to adding a 2012 domain controller into an existing Windows 2003 Native domain (currently 2x 2008R2 DCs and 1x 2003R2 DC).  The end goal is to retire the 2003R2 DC with the addition of the 2012 one.  The catch we have is that we have one legacy Windows 2000 member server (very important, dept drags feet to remove).  If we keep the domain in Windows 2003 mode or even up it to Windows 2008 mode will we be OK having a 2000 member server?

The Microsoft docs say a 2000 client isn't supported with 2012 DCs, but makes no mention of a mixed OS domain running in 2003/2008 mode.  Would we be able to add the 2012 DC and keep the 2000 member server working?

Central Access Policy server 2012

hi all,

i trying to test CAP in Windows Server 2012. What i observed strange situations:

1. enabled Compliancy

2. create CAP and Rules for it. In Rules i add Group form AD with access to everything except "delete" and "delete subfolders and files".

3. deploy this for my server 2012 via GPO

4. turn on CAP on folder in Central Policy in Advanced tabs

On folder in Classification i check Compliancy value.

On the same folder in permisions the same group have "full control". and when i check in security tab --> advanced --> effective access and select user i see "access limited by" and here is my name of rules where user cannot delete subfloders and files. But he can delete whatever he wants. Why?

When i lower the file permissions he cannot delete. In my opinion this CAP doesn't work. Or maybe i doing something wrong?

Best Regards

RDP-TCP Settings without installing RDS

Hello,

I want to configure the RDP-TCP settings in Windows 2012 (End a disconnected session; Active session limit and Idle Session limit). What I found so far is that to get to them it is necessary to install Remote Desktop Services-->Remote Desktop Host in Windows 2012. 

In Windows 2008 R2 they are in the Administrative Tools-->RDS-->RD Session Host Configuration, to see them it was not necessary to install any other RDS service.

My question is, is there a way in Windows 2012 to configure these same settings without the requirement to install RDS? We just want the sessions that an out-of-the-box installation allows for administrative purposes and still configure those three settings.

Thanks for any input on this.

"gpresult /h gpreport.html" = "ERROR: The parameter is incorrect"

Hello,

I've done a windows 2012 server core installation and after having troubles applying updates (problem was solved using this <http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-windows_update/windows-update-error-code-8024a000/562845f3-78d5-42a0-bed5-e3fd39f01df7?auth=1>), I came across my next problem. All windows updates are applied up to the 19th of February 2013.

As mentioned the 2012 server core installation has currently no additional services installed (it is default core installation) and it is (only) a member server of our Corporate Active Directory.

I'm able to use "gpresult /r" to see group policy debugging information, but when I try to use "gpresult /h gpreport.html" I get the following error: "ERROR: The parameter is incorrect". So it is currently impossible to generate a html page. The user running the gpresult command is member of the local administrator group.

(I'm able to use the /x option (f.ex. gpresult /x gpreport.xml, this works) but not /h.)

Did anyone else experience this problem?

Is there a solution?

Thanks a lot!

installing Wireless LAN Service for server 2012 WILL interfere and bring down the iRST for i7 CPUs causing server to crash !

Wireless LAN Service for server 2012 WILL interfere and bring down the iRST intel rapid storage technology once you install the service for the server!

DO NOT install the wireless LAN service for server 2012 if you are using the i7 CPUs and running host raid iRST (consumer CPUs). it will bring your server down and render it useless, all you configs will be lost is you try to restore from server backup, the server 2012 will say that the backup is done not from UEFI but from host and will not allow you to restore, and microsoft still have not tools and utilities via GUI or CLI to properly manage and access the GPT partitions. you will not be able to access the GPT partitions using NTFS file managers and your configs, VMs, will be lost.

this is a possible bug until microsoft confirms it is a bug, and take steps to patch it.

Dynamic Access Control

Hello friends, I have a doubt, I'm doing tests with Dynamic Access Control, I've been watching some videos and articles tutorials, as I'm doing everything I learned.

Only, the security properties of the folder the effective permissions do not obey what is defined in the Central Policy field, but only obeys what is set under Permissions. Administrators define permissions in the field with full access and field Central Policy define authenticated users will have full access, provided they form part of the department. But even if the user is the correct department and classified properly configured, it has totally denied access. So, the user will have access when I remove the configuration of Central Policy and define the permission department permissions tab.

Anyway, what I define tab Central policys is never obeyed. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?


Thank you!

Server Manager shows Windows Search Service as not added even though its enabled via command line..

Our installers enable the Windows Search Service via command line. But when we see server manager UI & go to add roles, Windows Search service Role is not added, even though the service is present in services mmc.

Additionally, sometimes enabling the Windows Search Service requires reboot of machine & sometimes it doesn't. What is the driving factor for services to require reboot?

2012 file share not accessible from 2012 server

I've got five servers over two sites (*). They're all on the same domain, and I have local admin access on them as well as domain admin access.

Site 1 :

Machine 1 :

Physical Windows 2012 running hyper-V

Machine 2 : 

Hyper-V VM running Windows 2008R2 (or indeed a win7 laptop)

Site 2:

Machine 3 :

Physical Windows 2012 running hyper-V

Machine 4 :

Hyper-V VM Windows 2012 running SCVMM

Machine 5 :

Hyper-V VM Windows 2008R2

I'm trying to get to the admin share for machine 1 in site 1 from machine 4. It doesn't work. 

"Windows cannot access \\machine1\\admin$"

"Error code: 0x80004005"

Nearly all the machines can see each other's admin shares. The exceptions are :

Machine 1 from Machine 4

Machine 1 from Machine 3

Ie across site, win2012-win2012, but only one way. If one of the boxes is win2008R2, it works, and site 1 can see site 2's shares.

Does anybody have any ideas on where to look next?

(I had a look at what's going on with wireshark. The client (Machine4) is resetting the connection after the first successful ioctl response NETWORK_FILE_SYSTEM Function 0x0081. There's no obvious important difference between this packet for a successful connection and for an unsuccessful one.

My thought was that there may be a firewall configuration change for win2012<->win2012 file sharing, but I can't see a suitable packet being sent and disappearing, only the client resetting the connection after what appears to be a perfectly normal few packets. Port 445 is open.)

cheers,

clive

(* ok, I've got a lot more than 5, but 5 is sufficient to demonstrate the problem :-) )

Backups are not set up

Hello,

I've been running Windows Server 2012 Essentials from a week after it was released and my computers have been backing up to it just fine.  Yesterday and today I noticed that one of the computers reported that it wasn't successful, so I ran the repair tool, which reported everything was fine.  Then, I noticed that all but one of the computers is listed under "Backup status" as "Not set up".  The computers were backing up regularly, but when I look through them, I see the last successful backup was on 1/15/2013 at 4:52 AM.

What would cause the backup status to suddenly become "not set up"?  Was there a Windows update or something that broke the backup?

Thanks.

Suggestions to achieve minimal level of network redundancy?

February 20, 2013, 8:02 am
$

I'm trying to explore what my options might be for redundancy for a small network. Our needs are simple - we need file shares, 1 - SQL database application and 1 - Exchange server. I can buy any required licensing for my OSes so I can achieve a reasonable level of redundancy

I have two Hyper-V 2012 hosts that use direct attached storage and will be hosting my server OSes. Each server has about 5Tb of available disk space - MORE than enough for my file shares, Exchange, etc. I'm trying to design the network so one of the servers (and its virtual machine OSes) could be taken offline for whatever reason and have network services remain available. My users could deal with a little down-time, but I'd like to try and keep it (obviously) to a minimum.

If I install a (virtual machine) Domain controller on each host server, AD services will continue to function if I take one server offline. I could also use DFS to replicate my file shares so again, if one server if offline there wouldn't be an interruption in service to the users.

I'm not sure how to deal with redundancy for the 1, SQL database application or Exchange.

I've heard I can get the VMs to failover and I've thought about CSVs, although I've never set those up and I'm not sure if I could use them in my scenario?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might achieve redundancy for my small network?

Quick question: 

I'm creating a new 3-node Hyper-V cluster running Windows 2012 Datacenter Edition. I would like to team 2 NICs to optimize throughput. (I have a switch with LAC capable)

What is most recommended:  create the Nic teaming with the native Windows 2012 nic teaming software, or create the team with the manufacturer software (Intel or broadcom)?

Hi guys,

I just got a windows server 2008 and setup a few websites on it, after that. I renamed the default administrator account, but realized, I had been locked out of sql server and other major services and the other newly setup admin accounts did not have the privileges, so I tried to rename it back, but got an error saying the administrator's account already exists.

Also the newly named account does not work with the new password and as said above cant rename it to the default

Please advise, what do I do ?

Its driving me mad

many thanks

where to put exchange server etc

at the moment i have 1 server running as a domain controller and 1 server as my web appliance

so exchange server is rather unfriendly with the web server etc so I guess I can install it on the domain controller where the load is not very heavy

would it be safer to put it on its own virtual machine?

After signing one of my dns zones using DNSSEC, globalnames stopped working. Is global names supported in a DNSSEC environment in Windows Server 2012?

I know officially it was not supported in 2008R2.
