Mdt 2012 + WDS service on the same server. DHCP question

Hi,
I am using MDT 2012 on Server 2008.
Boot images are placed on 6 years old WDS server running on 2003.
I need to remove WDS server (2003).
Cannot find exact instructions for enabling PXE for MDT2012.
I don't need introduction guides. But clear few lines of instructions.
From quickly checking web I understand that I need:
1. install WDS services on the same MDT2012 server 2008.
2. import Lite Touch boot images from Deployment Share
The only point I am missing is DHCP question. In Microsoft prerequisites for WDS services, DHCP should be present on the same server were WDS is...
I watched one video on web and the guy just installs WDS on the MDT server and not mentioning DHCP at all.
Sure that there is DHCP server serving multiple subnets on the network.
My confusion about DHCP on WDS prerequisite comes from not having DHCP services installed on old WDS 2003 machine.
So why it is required on WDS service in server 2008/2012?
Can somebody confirm that DCHP must exist on the same server were MDT and WDS services are enabled.
And is it a valid option to have all 3 on one Server machine if DHCP is really needed for enabling PXE in MDT environment?
I saw the info about ports 67 (should be disabled) and 60 for PXE enabled.
Will appreciate DHCP part explanation and how to...
Thanks.

RL69,
in my environment DHCP serves multiple subnets. For now no need to serve client machines on different subnets. The Deployments will be done on subnet were MDT resides. If necessary PXE relay could be enabled on Core switch (or where necessary).
So if I understand correctly for a scenario above all what I need to do for PXE enabled MDT is:
to add WDS role/service on the same MDT server and import boot images.
Right?
Will do it right after your confirmation :)

How can I using tpcall from one service to another service in the same server

When I using tpforward between two services in one server, it's working ok. However,
when I using tpcall from one service to another service, it's failed?
anybody can tell me why?
thanks

ok. However,

anybody can tell me why?Basically, tpcall:ing another service in the same server is a no-no, unless you
a) are running a multi-threaded server (requires TUXEDO 7 or newer + compilation
options) or
b) use tpacall() instead of tpcall() and specify the flag TPNOREPLY. This is probably
not what you want to accomplish, though.
The reason is that TUXEDO servers by default (and always in versions before 7)
are single-threaded. If service A and B both reside in server X, server X will
be busy taking care of the call to A. If A makes a call to B, the call will be
put on the queue to X, but X will not look at the queue until it is done with
A, which won't happen until B returns... deadlock!
You can play tricks with starting multiple instances of X, but in the end you
will always face a risk (something lika a race-condition) for a dead-lock.
Solution: Move service B to another server (usually quite easy) OR switch to multi-threading,
if that's possible. Just make sure all code your service calls is MT-safe as well...
thanks

Windows 2012 R2 Active Directory Domain Services and Remote Desktop services Role on the same server.

Findings:
Currently, Windows 2012 R2 AD DS role and RDS With Broker services can only seem to coexist properly in a new domain not an existing domain. Any attempt to add to an existing domain causes internal database user access denied issues and any attempt to
adjust rights and circumvent is dubious at best.
The escalation technician said it best. Out of 50 clients that want to do this, they end up not being able to help 5 right off the bat for whatever reason. As for the other 40 they might be able to help by running reports, adjusting rights and trying to add
the roles until it works. This can end up being a 20 day process. Basically they are playing whack-a-mole with user rights and permissions until something sticks.
We tried creating an OU where any other domain policies would not be inherited to see if that was the issue, a fresh install with different sequence of adding the Roles, no effect.
Given the errors I witnessed when running procmon and then trying to add the roles, the NT System and the Windows Internal database user had access denied issues on 100+ registry keys when trying to add the roles. After that the system is not behaving normally.
The errors displayed almost mirror the errors that would occur on Windows 2012 when those two roles would be added which of course is officially NOT supported on that system.
This blog needs serious revision:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2013/07/09/what-s-new-in-remote-desktop-services-for-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
This is the excerpt from that blog: Single server RDS deployment including Active Directory. We now support running our RD Connection Broker role service on the same physical instance as an Active Directory Domain Controller. In addition, we published
guidelines for how RD Session Host could be used without the RD Connection Broker.
Microsoft Support was curteous and helpful and they were the ones who advised cutting our losses, which mirrored my hunch after seeing what was transpiring in the system. They refunded my money for the support call.
For me, it was an opportunity to find out if there was any way to configure Windows 2012 R2 in the Same manner that it was setup as Windows 2008 R2 and lay that to rest. The coexistence is poorly implemented. It is as if there was a reaction from all the deprecation
of bread and butter features such as shadowing in TS and the coexistence of AD DS and RDS to where those features were re-added haphazardly. (I have no complaints on shadowing on Windows 2012 R2 it works, just do not like having to go to server manager to
use it).
I opted for virtualizing the Domain controller to eliminate the incompatibility issues and that is what I will be doing from now on. I found free solutions for backing up and reporting for virtual machines as well as the suggested procedures for configruing
a Domain controller as a virtual machine on a Hyper-V environment and I will be sticking to those. Thus far the setup has been operational.
I am not allergic to virtualization, but for really small setups it adds additional time and considerations but if that is how it has to be done, so be it. Windows 2008 R2 days are numbered and since we can usually squeeze 5-7 years on quality server equipment,
buying a Windows 2008 R2 setup now is a borderline disservice in my opinion.
Hopefully someone finds this useful and saves some time.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Do you need any other assistance?
Based on your description, you are describing your story of successfully implementing RDS server with AD role and more regarding all RDS related scenario. For shadowing feature, you can use with command also. Below is the syntax to shadow a session.
mstsc /v:<ServerName> /shadow:<SessionID>
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Windows 2012. Assign RDS service Licensing Server on Standalone Server. Connect to the licensing server on the same server as RDS

I have installed Windows Server 2012 Standard. I wish to run this server as a standalone server using local users as the authentication for RDS and not part of a domain. I have my RDS licenses loaded in RDS licensing service and all license show up
in the Licensing Server. I get events telling me to connect to a licensing server and I find no configuration tool now to connect to the local licensing service. It will not let me connect to the licensing service on the same computer.

Hi Bill,
After referring to your post, we can understand that you are facing issue with licensing service for your RDS Server. As Ryan has provided great article for deploying RDSH server in workgroup mode you can refer that and also I would like you to check that have
you specify a license Server for RDSH server to use. You can perform this setting under
deployment properties of RD Licensing and specify the name of the server and in addition there is registry setting for this under below path.
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Licensing

Running two instances of Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2 on the same domain

We have Windows Server 2012 Essentials R2 running as a domain controller -- and have installed another licensed copy of the same thing on the same domain. We want to use the 2nd server for running an LOB application and provide backup for the
AD services.
The 2nd server is a member of the domain. Can I do this and have the 2nd server provide AD failover services like they do with 2012 Standard?

Two things to consider. In the XP and 2003 era, the OS was not written in a security-first fashion. While XP did have LUA, almost nobody used them. Then came Vista and UAC, and those prompts were a major pain point because nobody wrote for security. Fast
forward 6 years and standard accounts are a normal best practice. Almost nobody in business recommends running daily tasks as administrator.
I mention all this to illustrate that, similar to admin accounts, what you used to get away with no longer applies. Running LOB apps on a DC is just bad. Many times, the app just doesn't work. But even if you could get it to work, it is a terrible idea.
If the stories of Home Depot, Target, and most recently Sony don't already give it away, I'll spell it out. We no longer live in an age where you can take shortcuts and expect to be safe. Large organizations make national news when they screw up. But small
businesses are targeted just as often and are at just as much risk. From "leaking" their client info to having their data held for ransom, the small business is abused regularly, but never makes national news because they are, by definition, small.
If you can take simple easy steps to help minimize that risk, such as keeping a domain controller free of other software and locked down, then it is almost unethical to do Otherwise in the modern computing era. The world ha changed. It is our responsibility
as I.T professionals to change with it. That's why we get to call ourselves "professionals" in relation to I.T.
So, what bad things? Risking the customer's very livelihood. I consider that pretty darn bad.

FMS 3.5 on Server 2012 R2 and with Wowza on the same server

Hi there,
Is it possible to have my old FMS 3.5 on the same server as I have Wowza 3.6 installed?
The server is windows Server 2012 R2.
I have installed the FMS, but it does not start up after installation, and the bat-files cannot start/stop the service either. It doesn't make a difference if I go to Services to start them up manually, the sample files still doesn't work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
HC

Hi Hans Christian RVN,
FMS 3.5 is not supported on Win 2012 R2. You may want to give it a spin on the supported platforms listed at https://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashmediaserver/357/FMS_357_Release_Notes. pdf.

Making the URL of an HTTP data service call the same domain it is served from

Hi All,
I've got an HTTP service I defined in Flash Builder, via the "Data Services" tab. I've got an absolute URL in there right now. Here's what it looks like:
What I really want is to not define a path that includes a domain name at all--I want the service to simply call an absolute path that's on the same domain as whatever domain the SWF was served from... can I do that? When I got rid of the base URL and then gave an absolute URL path (e.g., /roster/deleteMember), Flex Builder complained that "File does not exist." Well, of course it doesn't exist, it isn't a file, it's a URL to a service call--there is no corresponding file on the filesystem.
Can anyone advise me how to do that? Changing the domain name has at least once caused me a great deal of trouble, and the only workaround I was able to figure out was to create a whole new project and copy/paste all the code from my previous project into that new project, and recreate the data service definitions. Big headache!

mmh,
from the adobe documentation:
The configuration files sometimes contain special {server.name} and {server.port} tokens. These tokens are replaced with server name and port values based on the URL from which the SWF file is served when it is accessed through a web browser from a web server. Similarly, a special {context.root} token is replaced with the actual context root of a web application.
Whenever is a RemoteService, HttpService or WebService... if you specify the endpoint as http://{server.name}:{server.port}/{context.root}
automatically on runtime, the variables are set by the flashplayer depending on where you've been downloaded the application. So, if the webservices are deployed on the same server where the flex application is downloaded, this is the solution.
But in your case, maybe you cannot do that through the plugin you are using for declaring your services, but have to programmatically solve it.
Bye,
Lionel

Exchange 2013 Windows Server 2012 NLB and DAG on the same server

Hi all, I am installing Exchange 2013 infrastructure with two servers.
Both servers have the CAS and Mailbox roles.
For mounting on High Availability, will create a DAG.
Client Access I have no external Network Load Balancer.
I thought about installing the NLB servers in the DAG members, this could not be done before.
I do not know if in Windows Server 2012 and Exchange 2013
Can I install NLB on members of a DAG?
regards
Microsoft Certified IT Professional Server Administrator

Hi,
I’m afraid that WNLB and DAG cannot coexist in the same server. Because WNLB is incompatible with Windows failover clustering. If we're using an Exchange 2010 DAG and we want to use WNLB, we need to have the Client Access server role and the Mailbox server
role running on separate servers.

You can still run two Windows 2012R2 Servers on Esxi, just like Gary said. For 10 users, it's really not that big of a deal either way.

Lync 2013 and SQL 2012 on the same server

Hi,
I'm in the process of migrating Lync 2010 to Lync 2013. I have a clean install of Windows Server 2012 R2. Is it possible to install Lync 2013 and SQL 2012 on the same server or does it have to be on separate servers.
Thanks

Configure Separated SQL Server to use in an Enterprise deployment of Lync Server. Standard Edition servers use a collocated SQL Server Express version of SQL Server that is right sized for the workloads of a Standard Edition server.

Power BI analysis services connector - the remote server returned an error (403)

Hi all, does any one have any suggestions what to try to identify the configuration problem I have?
I have, a SSAS 2012 tabular instance with SP2, there is a database on the instance with a read role with everyone assigned permissions.
When configuring the Power BI analysis services connector, at the point where you enter Friendly Name, Description and Friendly error message, when you click next I receive the error "The remote server returned an error (403)."
I've tested connecting to the database from Excel on a desktop and connect fine.
I don't use a "onmicrosoft" account so don't have that problem to deal with.
We use Power BI Pro with our Office 365. As far as I can tell that part is working ok as I pass that stage of the configuration with a message saying connected to Power BI.
The connector is installed on the same server as tabular services, its a Win2012 Standard server. The tabular instance is running a domain account that is the admin account for the instance (this is a dev environment) that account is what I've used in the
connector configuration. It's also a local admin account. There is no gateway installed on the server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks, Brian
Brian Searle

Brian-
One other common issue I've seen is the UPN not quite matching. Log onto the SSAS server as the user who's logged into Power BI. Then open a command prompt and run:
whoami /upn
Hopefully the UPN it says will match your EffectiveUserName test and will match exactly how you're signing into the Power BI site.
If that doesn't work, your best bet is to go to
http://support.powerbi.com/ and click Contact Support and describe this situation and someone from the Power BI support team should get in touch with you to troubleshoot.

SUP and WSUS on the same server.

Hi,
My SCCM environment as follows:
Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard, Configuration Manager 2012 R2, SQL 2012 SP1 CU7
WSUS 6.3.9600.163.84 . All these running on the same server.
SCCM SUP role is enabled, WSUS using SQL Express database. This is Central and Primary site server as well.
Issue is:
1. SUP does not get updates. SUP is configured to get updates from Internet and WSUS console Sync options pointing to its own server name. I tried to change WSUS console sync option to internet couple of times but it looks WSUS changes this back.
2. I want to use WSUS/SUP for SCCM Endpoint definitions update and also for patch installation for clients (Clients Windows update pointing to this server)

What do you mean that this is a Central and Primary site server? Those two roles can not be installed on the same site server.
When it comes to SUP in ConfigMgr, the installation process on WS 2012 is basically this:
1. Install the Windows Server Update Services role, run the initial configuration wizard.
2. Install a SUP site system role on the server and let ConfigMgr configure everything.
Additionally I'd not run a SQL Express for the WSUS since you already have SQL installed. Instead I'd create the SUSDB on the same SQL server that you're running the ConfigMgr DB on.
In my preprequisites installation tool, all you need to do is to open a PowerShell console, run the tool and click on the Install WSUS button, specify the SQL Server and the tool will automatically configure everything. When the tool has completed, you can
go ahead and add the SUP from ConfigMgr and configure it from the ConfigMgr console.
You'll find the tool here:

Multiple users connected to the same server

Hi there,
I was wondering if this scenario would be possible to be implemented on a Snow Leopard Server installed on Mac Mini 2.66:
- one iphone developer that needs to be remotely connected to the server to develop apps
- one project manager that will handle the project files and documentation. He will login to the server and upload/download files
- one app GUI designer that will login from time to time, to make the design in photoshop.
Can these 3 users be logged in the same time on the same server without any lag? Or this version of server will only support one user at a time?
Thank you!

Yes, you can do ssh and terminal connections, but I'm guessing that's not what you want here; I'm guessing you're headed over from X Windows or (more likely) Windows Terminal Services.
Google for Aqua Connect and related for the path that you're headed toward.
In general, Apple Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server runs one seat and one keyboard and one display per station, whether it's an Xserve server or a MacBook or whatever.
