Just FYI, new Windows Server 2012 R2 RRAS Multitenant Gateway Deployment Guide

New! Windows Server 2012 R2 RRAS Multitenant Gateway Deployment Guide
This new guide is available on the Web at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn641937.aspx. It is also available for download in Word format at TechNet Gallery at
http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Windows-Server-2012-R2-37eb8e17
If you work for a Cloud Service Provider (CSP) or an organization that's planning on deploying cloud technologies, you might be interested in the new Windows Server 2012 R2 RRAS Multitenant Gateway Deployment Guide.
You may already know that in Windows Server® 2012 R2, the Remote Access server role includes the Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) role service. (It also includes DirectAccess and Web Application Proxy, however those role services will not be discussed
in this article.)
The new deployment guide demonstrates how to use Windows PowerShell to deploy RRAS as a virtual machine (VM)-based multitenant software gateway and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) router that allows CSPs and Enterprises to enable datacenter and cloud network
traffic routing between virtual and physical networks, including the Internet.
You can use the gateway with VM networks by using either Hyper-V Network Virtualization or Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) - but using Network Virtualization is recommended due to VLAN limitations such as difficult management and a limited number of
available VLAN IDs.
If you're using System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SC VMM), you can use SC VMM to deploy Windows Server Gateway; however even if you are using SC VMM, you can manage the gateway with the same Windows PowerShell commands that are used for the RRAS Multitenant
Gateway. (Some Windows Server Gateway features are configurable only with Windows PowerShell.)
For information on deploying Windows Server Gateway with SCVMM, see the Test Lab Guide: Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Network Virtualization with System Center 2012 R2 VMM, at
http://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=39284
With the RRAS Multitenant Gateway, you can create site-to-site VPN connections between your tenants' physical locations and your cloud datacenter. You can also provide tenants with point-to-site VPN connections that allow tenant Administrators to access
and manage their VM resources from anywhere. The RRAS Multitenant Gateway also allows you to configure Network Address Translation (NAT), so that tenant VMs can access the Internet, and you can deploy dynamic routing by configuring the gateway and tenant gateways
with BGP.

(Request for:) Best practices for setting up a new Windows Server 2012 r2 Hyper-V Virtualized AD DC

Could you please share your best practices for setting up a new Windows Server 2012 r2 Hyper-V Virtualized AD DC, that will be running on a new WinSrv 2012 r2 host server. (This
will be for a brand new network setup, new forest, domain, etc.)
Specifically, your best practices regarding:
the sizing of non virtual and virtual volumes/partitions/drives,
the use of sysvol, logs, & data volumes/drives on hosts & guests,
RAID levels for the host and the guest(s),
IDE vs SCSI and drivers both non virtual and virtual and the booting there of,
disk caching settings on both host and guests.
Thanks so much for any information you can share.

A bit of non essential additional info:
We are small to midrange school district who, after close to 20 years on Novell networks, have decided to design and create a new Microsoft network and migrate all of our data and services
over to the new infrastructure . We are planning on rolling out 2012 r2 servers with as much Hyper-v virtualization as possible.
During the last few weeks we have been able to find most of the information we need to undergo this project, and most of the information was pretty solid with little ambiguity, except for
information regarding virtualizing the DCs, which as been a bit inconsistent.
Yes, we have read all the documents that most of these posts tend point to, but found some, if not most are still are referring to performing this under Srvr 2008 r2, and haven’t really
seen all that much on Srvr2012 r2.
We have read these and others:
Introduction to Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) Virtualization (Level 100),
Virtualized Domain Controller Technical Reference (Level 300),
Virtualized Domain Controller Cloning Test Guidance for Application Vendors,
Support for using Hyper-V Replica for virtualized domain controllers.
Again, thanks for any information, best practices, cookie cutter or otherwise that you can share.

Re-use Hyper V VM built in Windows Server 2008 R2 host in a new Windows Server 2012 host

Hi Forum members,
I was assigned a Windows Server 2008 R2 host machine with Hyper-V which I used to build many VM's for testing. This host machine now is going to be replaced with a new Windows Server 2012 host machine. Is it possible for me to continue
to use those VM's without any migration (e.g. is it possible to import or simply move the *.vhd + *.avhd files from the 2008 Server to 2012 Server and use them)?
Thanks and Regards,
Hien

That is the official statement of 'support'
They will run, and you may need to do some custom configuration (such as using a legacy nic) but you can't call MSFT support and say your Server 2003 VM is broken on Hyper-V 2012 R2
The act of importing the configuration and linking to the VHD and snapshots will work.
The act of booting the VM and having the OS in the VM 100% happy is not automatic, but should work.
It becomes a question of where do you place the risk.

Testing moving to new Windows Server 2008 R2 DHCP Server.

HI all,
I want to bring up a new DCHP server on an existing Windows Server 2008 R2 Domain Controller. The current DHCP server is a Windows 2003 Domain Controller. I have moved all the FSMO Roles to the new 2008 R2 domain controller
with the plan to eventually demote the 2003 server and take it off the network. I have the dhcp role installed on the new Windows Server 2008 R2 and have duplicated the exact settings (reservations, scope, etc.) from the old windows 2003 server
on the new 2008 R2 server. My plan was simply to disable the dhcp service on the old windows server 2003 and then authorize the new Windows Server 2008 R2 DHCP Server. However, after reading several articles, I understand that once you authorize
a new dhcp server, the old dhcp sever is unauthorized. I also read where several people had major issues with the new dhcp server not handing out IP Addresses even though the new dhcp server was authorized successfully. Since this is
a production network, I would like to employ the correct method to bring up the new dhcp server. Also, if there is a problem, is there an easy way to go back to the original dhcp server? Thanks for your help.

Bob Andres

You can authorize multiple DHCP servers on a network.
You can activate and deactivate different scopes independently. So you can test DHCP functionality with a test scope.
Also, you can stop the old server in many ways that allow it to be online very rapidly: stop the dhcp server service, deactivate the scopes and yes even de-authorize the server.
My advice would be to built a test so you are confident (=very important) and not to fear the final onlining too much. DHCP is no rockets science. If you've replicated the configuration and are aware of possible IP Helper configurations on your routers/switches,
it should all work out fine.

Installing a New Windows Server 2008 R2 Child Domain by Using the Command Line

Installing a New Windows Server 2008 R2 Child Domain by Using the Command Line:

dcpromo /unattend /InstallDns:yes /ParentDomainDNSName:mysite.com /replicaOrNewDomain:domain /newDomain:child /newDomainDnsName:gridview.mysite.com /childName:gridview /DomainNetbiosName:gridview

Error Code:
The specific argument 'childName' is not recognized.
I am trying to insert gridview as a childname.

Hi,
Before going further, can we try another domain name to see what will happen?
Besides, if the issue persists, we can try installing a new child domain by using the GUI.
