GPs in multiple server environment

Hi,
Does anyone have experience using GP in a multiple WAS server environment. Our scenario is one in which different servers have different user groups and are located in different regions. We want to have a GP be able to transfer a process to another user group on another server and have the process flow continue there.
Is there something available "out of the box" or is it necessary to develop custom code (in all likelihood based on web-services)?
Thanks.
Dick

Hi Dick,
This is an interesting problem that you have.
There is no out of the box solution for this, but you may be able to architect this in a way that it would not require any custom code.
If you created a GP process for every region, which in all make up the logical super GP process, you can transfer process state and perform instantiation from one to the other.
For instance:
Process 1 (Region US, Server 1) upon completion starts Process 2 (Region EMEA, Server 2). The last step (Action) of Process 1 would be a Web Service Callable object which starts Process 2 and passes any PK's for state information.
If you are using CAF Entities for persistence, I recommend that you keep these all on the same server and the distributes GP processes can access as needed.
Does this make sense?
Best Regards,
Austin.

Outlook Integration Configuration in a Multiple Server Environment

Hello Experts,
I have the following environment :
Four Citrix Servers --> SAP B1 Application Server --> License Server --> B1isn + SQL Server --> DB Server.
First, which server/s would I configure for outlook integration from the "Mail Settings" window? This is where the admin would enter the SMTP server, SMTP port, etc. Which servers would require that the Outlook Integration tool to be installed? Second, I have read on most forums that configuring the "Mail Settings" window is the only step needed to begin sending e-mails from SAP B1; is this true? Third, If the admin did not originally install the Outlook Integration tool when installing SAP, how would I go about installing the tool now?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Taylor

Further to this, there is a transaction code that calls this function module: SRDEBUG (see OSS Note 1004248). It's a little quirky but it does work.
1) Set your external breakpoint.
2) run transaction SRDEBUG. This will display a pop-up asking if you want to stop debugging. This pop-up must remain active until you want to stop debugging, so just leave it hanging there while you debug.

SNC configuration in multiple application server environment

Hello Experts,
We are planning for SNC configuration between ECC 6 and NW04s Portal systems.
ECC 6.0 is running with Central Instance and two application servers.
NW04s EP is running with 4 server nodes.
I am very much clear about setting up SNC between ABAP and JAVA running with single application server and server node.
But totally confused about SNC/SSL setup in multiple server environment. Would really appreciate if you can provide some ideas/docuements on setting up SNC/SSL in multiple server environment.
1. Do we need to create multiple PSE for each of the ABAP application server? If yes then would the CN should be same or different.
2. If we create only one PSE for central instance and copy this to other application server - will this work.
Looking forward to hear from your experiences.

Davinder

Best Practice to generate UUIDs in a Cluster-Server Environment

Hi all,
I just need some inputs over the best practices to generate UUIDs in typical internet world where there are multiple servers/JVMs involved for load balancing or traffic distribution etc. I know JAVA is shipped with very efficient UUID generator API.
But still that doesn't solve the issue in multiple server environment.
For the discussion sake lets assume I need it to be unique over the setup than a near unique.
How do you guys approach it?
Thanks you all in advance.

Thanks jverd,
So adding to the theory of "distinguishing all possible servers" in addition to UUID over each server would be the way to go.If you're unreasonably paranoid, sure.I think its a common problem and there is a big number of folks who might still be bugged about the "relative uniqueness" of UUID in long run. People who don't understand probability and scale, sure.
Again coming back to my original problem in an "internet world", shouldn't the requirement like unique id between different servers be dealt with generating the UUID's at a layer before entering into the multi-server setup. Where would that be? I don't have the answer..Again, that is the POINT of the UUID class--so that you can generate as many IDs as you want and still be confident that nobody anywhere is in the world has ever generated any of those same IDs. However, if your requirements say UUID is not good enough, then you need to define what is, and that means having a lot of foresight as to how this system will evolve and how long it will live, AND having total control over some aspect of your servers, AND having a process that is so good that it's LESS LIKELY for a human to screw up and re-use a "unique" server ID than the probabilities I presented in my previous post.

FYI: Cause of multiple front caches in server environment

Hi All.
Long time lurker, first time poster here. With this post I would just like to contribute with some information about a problem we recently solved at my work place.
We have Coherence deployed in an app server environment. We discovered that our distributed schemes ended up having two front-caches by looking in the JMX. We got several instances of the same
type of CacheMBean with different 'loader' arguments, like this:
Coherence:type=Cache,service=DistributedCache,name=SomeCache,nodeId=3,tier=front,loader=x
Coherence:type=Cache,service=DistributedCache,name=SomeCache,nodeId=3,tier=front,loader=y
By trial and error we finally concluded that the cause of this was that, unless told otherwise, Coherence utilizes the context class loader (Thread#getContextClassLoader()) to fetch the front cache. In our case the context class loader
differed depending on the entry point of our application. Web calls had one context class loader, and EJB calls another. The undesired side effect was that we ended up with separate front caches for web and EJB calls. This is of course not ideal.
In order to fix this, one can specify which class loader to use when fetching the cache from CacheFactory: http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/coherence/330/com/tangosol/net/CacheFactory.html#getCache(java.lang.String, java.lang.ClassLoader)
The documentation already makes clear that the class loader is used for serializing. It is apparently also used for more.
For us the fix was to specify getClass().getClassLoader(), which will vary only depending on the type of the calling instance, not vary depending on entry point. As a side note, this also worked well for us when mixing transactional and non-transactional interactions with the caches.
Best regards,
Alexander

AlexanderHi Alexander,
depending on which appserver you use, you would probably want to go with a classloader which is a common root of the EJBs and web-apps. Depending on where your data classes reside, and what appserver you use, this may be an ejb-tier-wide classloader, or the ear classloader.

How to configure multiple dev environment in single IP

HI,
I have a WLS running on a Windows NT machine. I want to configure multiple partition/environment
in that single WLS so that each user will have their own partition/environment to
play around. Once they are happy with their EJBs then we shall move them to a testing
environment. Is that possible in WLS??. Can anyone please guide me to a good documentation
about this one.
Many Thanks
Vasan.
PS: I dont want a clustering technology all i want is that in a single ip i wanna
multiple development environment.

Tom,
looks like you are specifying http protocol in
sky.framework.ejb.SkySessionBean.getInitialContext method.
Change it to t3 or, if the JNDI lookup is in the same JVM, don't specify
PROVIDER_URL. If you have to use http tunneling due to any reason , you have to
enable HTTP Tunneling in server to which initial context is created. It is
disabled by default in 60. You can do so via console. Please refer to
documentation , let me know if you need additional help.

This advice applies to WL5.1. I have been trying to configure a
multiinstance Weblogic with no success. I want multiple copies
of the sample petStore available for test by multiple users.
I think in 6.0
You would need to open an admin server
Open the configuration file for say PetStore.
Clone the petStore- call it petStore2. .
Create a copy of the startup script and modify it to start PetStore2.
After doing this only one config.xml is created for both servers.
I am able to start the first server and view the petStore application,
On the second server I get an error when I do
http://host:secondServerPort/index.html
How does one create multiple instances in WL6.0 using the console
or using a XML editor ?

NT isn't a multiuser environment. I will assume that
you mean some
Win32 box sitting in a room where people can copy their
classes/EJBs and
test their stuff. If this is the case, the setup is easy.
Create a directory and startup script for every developer.
Have a
global properties file in the same directory as the scripts
so that
common settings are, well, common. Tell each user to
modify the various
parts of the properties files in their directories to
deploy EJBs and
register servlets, etc etc.
In each startup script, you will have to specify the server
directory
and the binding port for each person. Pick a port (something
easy to
remember and high, like 30000, 30001, etc etc) for each
person. Why?
Well, when they connect to the app server, they'll know
they're hitting
only their server. Also, TCP/IP won't let more than one
JVM bind to the
same port, so if you want simultaneous instances (> 4
you better have
one kick ass Win32 box) you have to do this.
Hope this solves your problem.

Workflow Custom Activity deploy in multi server environment

I have been working on a project that involves developing a custom workflow activity for SharePoint 2013. I am developing it in a single server environment working with http.
My problem occurs when deploying to multi-server environment with https (WFE, APP). My question is how to deploy my solution to the new environment.
The steps:
Create a project - c# activity library
Add a workflow activity, add .xml
Deploy the .dll and .xml of project to:
"C:\Program Files\Workflow%20Manager\1.0\Workflow\Artifacts" "C:\Program Files\Workflow Manager\1.0\Workflow\WFWebRoot\bin"
net sotp "Workflow Manager Backend"
net start "Workflow Manager Backend"
Deploy .DLL to GAC
- Created MSI using install shield in VS2010 to add .DLL to GAC
- Verify .DLL in GAC by going to c:\windows\assembly and %windir%\Microsoft.NET\assembly
iisrest
Deploy WSP to SharePoint, activate feature, open SharePoint Designer 2013 and choose the custom action that now appears when creating a 2013 workflow
To recap we have workflow manager on the APP server and and the workflow client on the WFE. We deployed the .DLL and .XML to the workflow manager (APP) only. The .DLL is deployed
to/in the GAC on the WFE and the APP. We are able to see and create the activity in Designer 2013 and we deploy the workflow to a normal SharePoint list. When we run the workflow we do not get any errors in the ULS logs, event viewer or Workflow Manager Debug
Logs (event viewer also). The site is not created though. We believe the issue is that the custom C# (.DLL) is not being ran.
This all works fine and dandy on my single server environment. Workflow is working like a charm. How can we trouble shoot what the issue is if we are not finding any errors?
Is there a step that we missed or some other place we need to look for logs? Would the ULS logs show the site creation or show running our custom code? Currently it does not show anything when we run the workflow.
Let me know if this is unclear or if anyone needs more information. Thanks

Hi,
Here is a workaround for your reference:
We can develop a custom WCF service instead of the Custom Activity in SharePoint. And then use the service from workflow. It use a separate dedicated server for workflow without having any reference to SharePoint DLLs from inside workflow.
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

JNDI Lookup for multiple server instances with multiple cluster nodes

Hi Experts,
I need help with retreiving log files for multiple server instances with multiple cluster nodes. The system is Netweaver 7.01.
There are 3 server instances all instances with 3 cluster nodes.
There are EJB session beans deployed on them to retreive the log information for each server node.
In the session bean there is a method:
public List getServers() {
List servers = new ArrayList();
ClassLoader saveLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
try {
   Properties prop = new Properties();

   Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader((com.sap.engine.services.adminadapter.interfaces.RemoteAdminInterface.class).getClassLoader());
   InitialContext mInitialContext = new InitialContext(prop);
   RemoteAdminInterface rai = (RemoteAdminInterface) mInitialContext.lookup("adminadapter");
   ClusterAdministrator cadm = rai.getClusterAdministrator();
   ConvenienceEngineAdministrator cea = rai.getConvenienceEngineAdministrator();
   int nodeId[] = cea.getClusterNodeIds();
   int dispatcherId = 0;
   String dispatcherIP = null;
   String p4Port = null;
   for (int i = 0; i < nodeId.length; i++) {

    String[] loc = new String[3];
    loc[0] = dispatcherIP;

    loc[2] = null;
    servers.add(loc);
   mInitialContext.close();
} catch (NamingException e) {
} catch (RemoteException e) {

The application is working for multiple server instances with a single cluster node but not working for multiple cusltered environment.
Anybody knows what should be changed to handle more cluster nodes?
Thanks,
Gergely

Thanks for the response.
I was afraid that it would be something like that although
was hoping for
something closer to the application pools we use with IIS to
isolate sites
and limit the impact one badly behaving one can have on
another.

Re: WLS51 multiple server instances - no clustering, no multihoming

Hello - This is the answer to a private question, but I'm posting it to the
group too in hope it will help.
Our problem was, we had one computer (Solaris) with one IP address and one
Weblogic license, but we had two (now three) teams of developers working on
different projects for WLS. Since they needed different settings and
configurations, they could not use a single Weblogic server instance, so we
had to find a way to run multiple server instances independently on a single
machine.
I'd call this configuration "parallel-servers" - please remember that it is
quite different from both multihoming and clustering because all the server
instances are independent from one another (unlike clustering) but run on
the same IP (unlike multihoming) and different port numbers.
This is the simplest procedure for a Solaris computer:
1: Install WebLogic.
Let's say the WL installation folder is:
/wls/weblogic/
we'll call that:
WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/
It contains the default server instance folder
/wls/weblogic/myserver/
we'll call that:
WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/myserver/
2: Make some copies (as many as you need)
of the default server instance folder
with different names, you'll have:
WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/myserver/
WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/server_1/
WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/server_2/
WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/server_n/
3: Locate the general properties file
/wls/weblogic/weblogic.properties
(we'll call it: WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/weblogic.properties)
and make a copy of it into EACH of the individual
server instance folders; you'll end up with:
WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/weblogic.properties
WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/myserver/weblogic.properties
WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/server_1/weblogic.properties
WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/server_2/weblogic.properties
WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/server_n/weblogic.properties
4: In EACH server instance's properties file
WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/server_i/weblogic.properties
set per-server values to all the properties
specific to the individual server; at least:
weblogic.system.listenPort=PORT_i
weblogic.password.system=PWD_i
weblogic.system.SSLListenPort=SSLPORT_i
plus everything else it should need individually,
that is, all the things that make that single
server instance different from all the others
(connection pools, ACLs, EJB auto deployments and so on)
Do NOT modify the file
WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/myserver/weblogic.properties
(it's a backup copy of the default settings)
5: In the GLOBAL properties file
WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/weblogic.properties
cancel or comment out all the properties
that have been individually set for all
the individual server instances; at least:
weblogic.system.listenPort
weblogic.password.system
weblogic.system.SSLListenPort
6: Locate the default server's startup script
/wls/weblogic/startWebLogic.sh
(we'll call it: WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/startWebLogic.sh)
and make a copy of it (in the same folder)
for EACH of the new individual server instances;
you'll end up with:
WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/startWebLogic.sh
WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/startServer_1.sh
WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/startServer_2.sh
WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/startServer_n.sh
7: In EACH server instance's startup script
WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/startServer_i.sh
set values to the properties:
weblogic.home=WL_HOME/WLS_HOME
(where WL libraries and global files are)
weblogic.system.home=WL_HOME/WLS_HOME
(where the GLOBAL weblogic.properties is)
weblogic.system.name=server_i
(where the PER-SERVER weblogic.properties is)
weblogic.system.listenPort=PORT_i
weblogic.system.SSLListenPort=SSLPORT_i
with the -D option, as in:
$JAVA $JAVA_OPTIONS -ms64m -mx64m -classpath
$JAVACLASSPATH -Dweblogic.class.path=$WEBLOGICCLASSPATH -Dweblogic.home=$WL_
HOME/$WLS_HOME -Dweblogic.system.home=$WL_HOME/$WLS_HOME -Dweblogic.system.n
ame=server_i -Djava.security.manager -Djava.security.policy=`pwd`/weblogic.
policy -Dweblogic.system.listenPort=PORT_i -Dweblogic.system.SSLListenPort=
SSLPORT_i weblogic.Server
8: If you like, you might also write a shutdown script
for each server instance (often faster than the console)
WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/stopServer_i.sh
which might look like:
java -classpath $JAVACLASSPATH weblogic.Admin t3://$HOSTNAME:PORT_i SHUTDOWN
system $PWD_i
9: If you need individual per-server security policies,
also duplicate and customize the default policy file
WL_HOME/WLS_HOME/weblogic.policy
(just like you did with weblogic.properties in steps 3 to 5)
and specify the corresponding property in each startup script
with the -D option
-Djava.security.policy=`pwd`/server_i/weblogic.policy
10: Obviously, when you deploy and use your EJBs or JSPs or applications,
you must make sure that you specify the right individual server's parameters
(name, user, password, port, paths and everything else).
And that's all; obviously, there are better ways to achieve the
"parallel-servers" configuration, but this is the simplest one and is good
enough for a basic development environment; you might need to tune some more
properties to suit your specific requirements.
On a WinNT computer, the procedure should be more or less the same, the main
difference being: instead of .sh script files, you'll have to edit .cmd
script files.
I am very grateful to all the people on the newsgroups who helped me work
that out. Good luck!

          You also need weblogic.system.name=server_n and I believe it's
          weblogic.system.home rather than weblogic.home. The latter should point
          to
          your /weblogic directory.
          Hope this helps.

How Can i specify multiple server names in rwservlet.properties file?

How Can i specify multiple server names in rwservlet.properties file without clustering?
I am using oracle 10g Application server. we have 3 servers Repsvr1, RepSvr2 and RepSvr3. Now i need to configure rwservlet.properties file to point to these servers based on any running report. i got 3 keymap files with reports info.
Sample entry in the key map file is:
key1: server=Repsvr1 userid=xxx/yyy@dbname report=D:\Web\path1\path2\reports\Report1.rdf destype=cache desformat=PDF %*
key2: server=Repsvr2 userid=xxx/yyy@dbname report=D:\Web\path1\path3\reports\Report2.rdf destype=cache desformat=PDF %*
rwservlet.properties file letting me to enter only one servername. Even though i merged all 3 keymap files into 1, still i have the server name issue. If i leave the server to the default name still i am getting the below error.
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server Repsvr1 failed. However, i know the default rep_<servername> would be used incase we dont have SERVER=<value> parameter in the rwservlet.properties file.
If i specify the servername in the rwservlet.properties file then only Repsvr1 reports are working fine and other 2 server reports are giving the same error like
REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server <<Server Name>> failed.
how can i configure the info which will work all 3 reports. 2 Port servers are invoking using oracle forms and report server is invoking using ASP pages.
If i specify Server name & Key map file in rwservlet.properties one at a time, all the reports are working without any error, whenever i am trying to integrate all 3 to workable i am getting binding error. if i exclude the server from rwservlet.properties still i am getting the same error.

My RELOAD_KEYMAP setting is YES only.As i said If i specify Server name & Key map file in rwservlet.properties one at a time, all the reports are working without any error.
keymap file entries
key1: server=Repsvr1 userid=xxx/yyy@dbname report=D:\Web\path1\path2\reports\Report1.rdf destype=cache desformat=PDF %*
key2: server=Repsvr2 userid=xxx/yyy@dbname report=D:\Web\path1\path3\reports\Report2.rdf destype=cache desformat=PDF %*
If i use http://server.domain:port/reports/rwservlet? cmdkey = key1 should bring the report from Repsvr1 and http://server.domain:port/reports/rwservlet? cmdkey = key2 should bring the report from Repsvr2, but i am getting an error from Repsvr2 saying that REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server repsvr2 failed.
Only Servername Repsvr1 is in rwservlet.properties file. Now what is the best option to by pass the server from rwservlet.properties file and should be from keymap file. if i comment server name in rwservlet.properties file still i am getting REP-51002: Bind to Reports Server <<Server Name>> failed error for both keys.

Load Data from a table on one server's database, to the same table structure in multiple server databases

Hi,
I have a situation where i have to load data from one server/database table to multiple servers/databases.
Example:
I need to load data from dbo.TABLE_A (on Server: Server_A & Database: Database_A) to the same table on the list of server databases like
Server: Server_B , Database: Database_B
Server: Server_C , Database: Database_C
Server: Server_D , Database: Database_D
Server: Server_E , Database: Database_E
Server: Server_F , Database: Database_F
Server: Server_G , Database: Database_G
Server: Server_H , Database: Database_H
so on and so forth on 250 such server database combinations.
The table structure is the same on all the servers.
If i make the source or destination dynamic, it throws an error while mapping ?
I cannot get Linked server permissions and SQL Server Config thing doesn't work as well.
Please suggest on how to load data from one source to multiple server/databases.
Thank you.

I just need to transfer one table's data. its like i have to use a query to pick data for
the most recent data. So i use something like, select A, B, C, D from dbo.table where ETL_TIMESTAMP > (the max(etltimestamp) in the destination on different server). There are no foreign key relationships and the data should not be truncated. it just had
to append the new records.

Intermittend DNS resolution, timeserver, group policy updates errors in client logs in Win 2012 R2 single server environement

We recently switched hardware and server software Win SBS 2008 to 2012R2 for a small network roughly 40 clients (Win7 Pro / Win 8.1 Pro) about 16 running concurrently at a given time and one network printer with the printer queue residing on the DC as well.
I read that a single server environment might not be ideal in particular no fail-over but that is an accepted risk in this particular network here.
Errors:
Error 1043: Timeout during name resolution request
Error 1129: Group policy updates could not be processed due to DC not available
Error 5719: Could not establish secure connection to DC, DC not available
Occasionally but disappears after a while
Error 134: As a result of a DNS resolution timeout could not reach time server
Symptoms
On Win 7 Clients
Network shares added through Group Policy will not show sometimes
Network shares disconnect (red X) and when accessed return access authorization error after one or two clicks on the share finally grant access again
When the issue with accessing network shares occurs, it usually also affects Internet access meaning a 'server not responding' error appears in the browser windows when trying to open just any web page
nslookup during the incident returns cannot resolve error
ipconfig on client shows correct default router (VDSL Router) and DHCP / DNS Domain Controller
Also, the Win system log shows the above errors during these incidents, however, the nuimber of incidents vary from 20-30
On Win 8.1 Clients
Same as above with the slight variation for network shares apparently due to Server 2012 and Win 8.1 clients managing drive shares differently. However, network share refresh does not work with this clients. In most cases only a gpupdate /force returns
drive shares but usually only for the active session. After logoff / logon the shares are gone again.
The issue does appear to be load related since it occurs even if there are only one or two workstations active.
Server Configuration
Dell R320 PowerEdge 16GB / 4TB 7200RPM RAID10 / GBitEthernet
Zyxel 1910-48 Port Switch
VDSL 50Mbps Down / 20Mbps Up
Since the DC is the only local DNS and there are no plans to add another one or move DNS to another server, the DNS server is configured with this own address as preferred DNS with three DNS forwarders 1) VDSL Router 2) ISP DNS1 3) ISP DNS2
Currently only one Network card is active for problem determination reasons.
There appears to be no consensus concerning IPV6 enabled or disabled, I tried both with no apparent effect
I have set all network cards server and client to Full Duplex and the same speed, also disabled Offload functions within the adapter settings. Some but no consistent improvements.
Best Practice Analyzer Results
DNS server scavening not enabled
Root hint server XYZ must respond to NS queries for the root zone
More than one forwarding server should be configured (although 3 are configured)
NIC1 should be configured to use both a preferred and alternate DNS (there is only one DNS in this network)
I have found some instructions to apply changes to the clients through a host file but I would rather like to understand whether this DNS response time issue can be resolved on the server for example timing setting perhaps. Currently the DNS forwarders are
set to 3 second.
Since a few people have reported issues with DNS but most are working with multi DNS, DC environment I could not really apply any suggestions made there. perhaps there is anyone like me who is running a single server who has overcome or experience the same
issues. Any help would be appreciated

Hello Milos thx for your reply.. my comments below
1. What does it "switched"? You may mean migration or new installation. We do not know...
>> Switched is probably the incorrect term, replaced would be the appropriate wording. Before, there was a HP Proliant Server with SBS 2008 with distinct domain and now there is a Dell Server with MS 2012 R2 with a distinct domain. Client were
removed from one (SBS) domain and added to the new Server 2012 domain. Other components did not change for example same Network Switch or VDSL Router, Workstations and Printer
2. Two DCs are better alternative. Or backup very frequently. There are two groups of administrators. Those who have lost DC and those who will experience this disaster in near future.
>> Correct, and I am aware of that
3. NIC settings in W 7 and W 8.1, namely DNS points to DC (...and NOTHING else. No public IP or that of router DNS.))
>> Correct, this is how it's currently implemented. Clients point to DC for DHCP and DNS and Default Router, no public IP or DNS. The only references to ISP DNS exist on the VDSL Router itself as provided through ISP when establishing VDSL
Link and the list of Forwarders in the DNS Server configuration. However, I have just recently added the ISPs DNS as forwarders for test purposes and will probably learn tomorrow morning whether this had any effect for better or worse.
4. Do nslookup to RR on clients. RR branch is saying client basic info on LDAP parameters of AD.
>> Will post as soon as available
5. I do not use forwarders and the system works
>> Ok, does this mean it works for you in a similar or the same infrastructure setup or are you saying it is not required at all and I can remove any forwarder in a scenario like mine? If not required can you explain a bit more why it is not
required apart from that it does work for you that way?
6. DHCP should sit on DC (DHCP on router is disabled)
>> Correct, no other device is configured to provide DHCP service other than DC and DHCP is currently running on DC
7. NIC settings in DC points to itself (loopback address 127.0.0.1)
>> Are you sure this is still correct and does apply to Server 2012? I am reading articles stating that it should be the servers own IP but local loop or should this be added as alternate DNS in addition to the servers own IP?
8. Use IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS whenever you change DNS settings.
>> OK, that was not done every time I changed some settings but I can do that next week. Reboot alone would not suffice, correct?
9. Test your system with dcdiag.
>> See result below
10. Share your findings.

Do I need DFSR in a single server environment?

I have a 2012 Host, running a single 2012 Guest. Guest is running as a DC with AD, DNS, DHCP, and File Services. DFSR is running, and it gives a warning every time my back runs (Backup is running on Host). Warning is The DFS Replication
service stopped replication on volume F:......and long message about Database, yada yada yada.
Do I need to run DFSR? Again, single server, no file replication to different offices. I'm not finding a clear answer to that question.
Second, Server Manager should, according to TechNet, have under the Tools option the ability to turn off DFSR. I cannot find that option. So, IF I can turn it off, can I simply disable the DFS Namespace and DFS Replication services?
I would prefer eliminating rather than ignoring warnings.
Thanks

Sorry, one more time. I have a single server environment, there is NO upstream domain controller, no replication between DC's. There is ONE DC. So, this is digressing into two questions. One, why do I need to run DFSR (again, lots
of articles talking about how to turn it off, and not as a discussion of temporary turn off https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753144.aspx) in a single server, single domain, non-replicating environment.
Second, how do I address the warning I receive during my backup? It appears to be caused by a replication error to downstream servers, since there is no downstream server, I should be able to resolve it by turning DFSR off. I would like some
documentation discussing the issue of turning it off in a non-DFS environment.
The DFS Replication service stopped replication on volume F:. This occurs when a DFSR JET database is not
shut down cleanly and Auto Recovery is disabled. To resolve this issue, back up the files in the affected replicated folders, and then use the ResumeReplication WMI method to resume replication.
Additional Information:
Volume: F:
GUID: 65E46942-B9D6-11E3-9400-00155D325402
Recovery Steps
1. Back up the files in all replicated folders on the volume. Failure to do so may result in data loss due
to unexpected conflict resolution during the recovery of the replicated folders.
2. To resume the replication for this volume, use the WMI method ResumeReplication of the DfsrVolumeConfig
class. For example, from an elevated command prompt, type the following command:
wmic /namespace:\\root\microsoftdfs path dfsrVolumeConfig where volumeGuid="65E46942-B9D6-11E3-9400-00155D325402"
call ResumeReplication

Installing Acrobat Pro 9.2 in a Terminal Server Environment

Hi everyone,
we're facing massive problems in our attempts to install Acrobat Pro 9.2 in a terminal server environment. It seems to be impossible to convert for example a .doc-file into a pdf via the adobe pdf-printer using a restricted user-account. It causes an "Access denied"-popup. We solved this subproblem by granting the user write-permission in the respective registry-key (HKLM\Software\Adobe). By now everytime we try, the application freezes after the "copy-status-bar" is filled. Using a power user instead of a normal user solves this problem. So the question is what's the relevant difference between the rights of those user groups.
Thanks for your help!
