2008 Enterprise R2 : Image restore issue on domain contoller : LDP, DNS, NETLOGIN failed : failed test DNS

Dear All,
I need your help in order to resolve issue i got. I have domain controller, and additional domain controller in production and both were working fine untill i restore image on 'Domain Controller' and after that i was not able to browse 'AD'. I checked and
came to know that NETLOGIN service was PAUSED. i fixed that issue but when i went to Additional Domain, that machine was not able to find Dmain. i realise that DNS/LDAP is not working. I run the command "DCDIAG /TEST:DNS" just to check the connetivy,
and found DNS connectivity sissue on Main Domain controller. Please help me with the issue.

Thanks for the response.
DC1 :Main Domain Contoller: Issue @ momemnt because of restore. seems to me DNS is working/responoding
along wiht RPC but i can see that DNS service is started? 
DC2 :Additional Domain Contoller: Healthy but i am not able to login on AD on that server becuase of
below mentioned issue
Naming information cannot be located becuase: the target principle name is incorrect
I am confused that if i downgrade the DC1,
how about if i am not able to recove AD?
which process should i adopt?
Thanks

  • Windows 7 image restore issues (Please help!!!!)

    I backed up my Windows 7 partition to an external hard drive, deleted my Boot Camp partition, and made a new, bigger one. I then booted from the Windows 7 install DVD and went to restore the image to the drive, but it refuses to do so without wiping the entire disk. Someone please help me; I really need Windows back, and really don't want to go through the pain of reinstalling!
    -macfanboy

    It sounds like you are saying your rerun of bootcamp did not create a partition? Maybe run it again? give it the Install for restart with eexternal connected?
    The external backup you made had to be an Image Backup which is ~= to your (C: etc.) drive space and takes 1/2 to 1 hour to backup and to restore.
    1.Insert the installation disc or system repair disc.
    2.Restart your computer using the computer's power button.
    3.If prompted, press any key to start the computer from the installation disc or system repair disc - (You can select it from Option key start up)
    4.Choose your language settings, and then click Next.
    5.Click Repair your computer.
    This step only applies if you are using a Windows installation disc.
    Windows searches for external image
    6.Select a recovery option, and then click Next.

    I'd like to know how to fix this. Server has up-to-date firmware and drivers from IBM. It's also up-to-date on all windows updates.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Will

    This one may help.
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff559023(v=vs.85).aspx
    I'd test the RAM and or get with IBM on best method to verify the hardware and drivers.

  • Server 2008 R2 SP1, BitLocker to go, image restore, Unexpected results

    On Svr 2008 R2 SP1, I wanted to test backup and image restore with a Bitlocker encrypted USB disk. Here's what I did:
    I turned on encryption on the USB disk, Chose password method and set it to auto-unlock on this computer.
    Ran a full system backup with the encrypted USB disk as the destination.
    Plugged the USB disk into another computer. Confirmed that it did require a password before I could access it.
    Now for the restore test. I booted the R2 computer from the Windows 2008 R2 SP1 setup DVD and chose the repair computer option.
    I plugged in the encrypted USB disk (can't remember if I did this before or after booting from the DVD).
    When choosing an image to restore, it could not find any.
    I got a pop-up saying that I needed to enter a key to be able to access the USB disk. 
    I wanted to simulate not having the key (only the password), so I cancelled out of that window.
    I went to the command prompt and entered >manage-bde -unlock E: -pw
    After entering the password, I exited the command window and went back to restore an image.
    It found backup image on the encrypted USB disk and I chose to do a full system restore. The restore was successful.
    I later tried to restore from the same USB disk again using the same method was surprised because it did not ask for a key or a password this time. The second restore was also successful.
    Then, after booting up the restore R2 machine, I  noticed that the USB disk no longer had bit locker turned ON. It looked like it was not encrypted anymore.
    I plugged the disk into another computer and it did NOT require a password to access it there either.
    Now,  after all of the above, Here's my Question. How did the disk become decrypted? I don't remember it going thru any decryption process (that seems to take while).
    Did it decrypt automatically during the first restoration? 
    Note (don't know if this is related): later I reformatted the USB disk twice. Each time I plugged back into the R2 machine and it want to repair the disk and after it did, the files returned. I had to go to the disk manager and remove the partition
    to get it to stop doing that.  
    No big deal. My test was successful but I am confused as to how the USB was decrypted.
    Thanks for any light anyone can shed on this.

    Hi,
    From your description, I don’t see any chance that the USB disk could be decrypted. We can only decrypt the disk via UI or manage-bde
    –off.
    In addition, decrypting a disk might take several hours. It could not be decrypted without any notification.
    According to the above, I suggest checking if there was any mis-operation. Also, please do more tests and check if the issue can be reproduced.
    Thanks.

  • Upgrade Server 2008 Enterprise Domain Controller to Server 2012 Standard?

    Hey there,
    We are going to be attempting to upgrade several of our Windows Server 2008 Domain Controllers in our satellite offices from Windows Server 2008 Enterprise to Server 2012 Standard.  I know the inplace upgrade will work (tried it on a member server)
    but are there any caveats being that they are Domain Controllers?  Contacted Microsoft and they said we shouldn't have any issues upgrading, and there is nothing special that has to be done in preparation.  (I thought for sure we would have to DCPromo
    down before and dcpromo up after the upgrade, but not so much, according to MS)  But I figured I would check and see if anyone has done this successfully.  I should mention that we already have 2, Windows Server 2012 Domain Controllers in our environment,
    and one of them has the FSMO roles.  Thanks in advance!

    It should work with no problems. My favorite options remains always to demote the DC, re-install it completely and then promoting it again: This is just my own way to work as it makes me sure that I start with a clean base with the fresh install.

  • Install Active Directory Domain Controller on Windows server 2008 enterprise, dont login on Sql Server 2008 R2

    I install Active Directory Domain Controller on Windows server 2008 enterprise and dont login on Sql Server 2008 R2. Before install ADDC, I have logon SQL Server 2008r2 Success, After when i install ADDC is don't logon on SQL Server 2008r2 -->not success.
    I have uninstalled ADDC but i still can't login on SQL server 2008r2.
    please help me. it  is very very disaster!
    I think is loss account SQL server 2008r2!

    Hello,
    I stronly recommend you post the detail error message to us while you try to connect to SQL Server instance, it's useful for us to do further investigation.
    Microsoft recommends that you do not install SQL Server 2008 R2 on a domain controller, there are some limitations:
    You cannot run SQL Server services on a domain controller under a local service account or a network service account.
    After SQL Server is installed on a computer, you cannot change the computer from a domain member to a domain controller. You must uninstall SQL Server before you change the host computer to a domain controller.
    After SQL Server is installed on a computer, you cannot change the computer from a domain controller to a domain member. You must uninstall SQL Server before you change the host computer to a domain member.
    SQL Server failover cluster instances are not supported where cluster nodes are domain controllers.
    SQL Server Setup cannot create security groups or provision SQL Server service accounts on a read-only domain controller. In this scenario, Setup will fail.
    On Windows Server 2003, SQL Server services can run under a domain account or a local system account.
    So, I would suggest you try to open up Windows Services list and changed the account for SQL Server service.

  • System Image Restore Fails "No disk that can be used for recovering the system disk can be found"

    Greetings    
                                        - Our critical server image backup Fails on one
    server -
    Two 2008 R2 servers. Both do a nightly "Windows Server Backup" of Bare Metal Recovery, System State, C:, System Reserved partition, to another storage hard drive on the same machine as the source. Active Directory is on the C: The much larger D: data
    partition on each source hard drive is not included.
    Test recovery by disconnecting 500G System drive, booting from 2008R2 Install DVD, recovering to a new 500G SATA hard drive.
    Server A good.
    Server B fails. It finds the backed-up image, & then we can select the date we want. As soon as the image restore is beginning and the timeline appears, it bombs with "The system image restore failed. No disk that can be used for recovering the system
    disk can be found." There is a wordy Details message but none of it seems relevant (we are not using USB etc).
    At some point after this, in one (or two?) of the scenarios below, (I forget exactly where) we also got :
    "The system image restore failed. (0x80042403)"
    The destination drive is Not "Excluded".
    Used   diskpart clean   to remove volumes from destination drive. Recovery still errored.
    Tried a second restore-to drive, same make/model Seagate ST3500418AS, fails.
    Tried the earliest dated B image rather than the most recent, fail.
    The Server B backups show as "Success" each night.
    Copied image from B to the same storage drive on A where the A backup image is kept, and used the A hardware to attempt restore. Now only the latest backup date is available (as would occur normally if we had originally saved the backup to a network location).
    Restore still fails.         It looks like its to do with the image rather than with the hardware.
    Tried unticking "automatically check and update disk error info", still fail.
    Server A  SRP 100MB  C: 50.6GB on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB  Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off
    Server B  SRP 100MB  C: 102GB  on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB  Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off
    Restore-to hard drive is also Seagate ST3500418AS.

    "If your destination disk has a lower capacity than the source disk, you need to go into the disk manager and shrink each partition on the source disk before restoring."  Doesnt apply here.
    http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=439&Itemid=38&limit=1&limitstart=4
    for 0x80042403 says "The solution is really quite simple: the destination drive is of a lower capacity than the image's source drive." I cant see that here.
    Thank you so much.

    Hello,
    1. While recovering the OS to the new Hard disk, please don't keep the original boot disk attached to the System. There is a Disk signature for each hard disk. The signature will collide if the original boot disk signature is assigned to the new disk.
    You may attach the older disk after recovering the OS. If you want to recover data to the older disk then they should be attached as they were during backup.
    2. Make sure that the new boot disk is attached as the First Boot disk in hardware (IDE/SATA port 0/master) and is the first disk in boot order priority.
    3. In Windows Recovery Env (WinRE) check the Boot disk using: Cmd prompt -> Diskpart.exe -> Select Disk = System. This will show the disk where OS restore will be attempted. If the disk is different than the intended 2 TB disk then swap the disks in
    correct order in the hardware.
    4. Please make sure that the OS is always recovered to the System disk. (Due to an issue: BMR might recover the OS to some other disk if System disk is small in size. Here the OS won't boot. If you belive this is the case, then you should attach the
    bigger sized disk as System disk and/or exclude other disks from recovery). Disk exclusion is provided in System Image Restore/Complete PC Restore UI/cmdline. 
    5. Make sure that Number and Size of disks during restore match the backup config. Apart from boot volumes, some other volumes are also considered critical if there are services/roles installed on them. These disks will be marked critical for recovery and
    should be present with minimum size requirement.
    6. Some other requirements are discussed in following newsgroup threads:

  • Folio13 Windows 7 pro 64, system image, restore fails

    I have (10) HP Folio13, running Windows 7 pro 64, I have used the Windows 7 system tools, to create a system image onto a USB 2.0 external Seagate harddrive. It created fine.. to test it I tried to restore the image onto a different HP Folio13.
    I hooked up an external USB cd-rom/dvd reader/write to either USB ports, and the USB Seagate hard drive to the other free USB port, thats on the HP Folio13. and I'm using a Windows 7 system restore disc.  If the USB cd/dvd write is hooked up to the USB port on the left hand side, it crashes stating it can't find the x:\sources\recovery\tools\hp recovery manager.exe this application has request the runtime to terminate it in an unsual way please contact the application support team for more infomation, if i shutdown and place the cd/dvd drive into the USB port on the right hand side. it works.. and boots correctly but can't find the Windows system image, that exists on the USB external harddrive.  I know that the USB windows system image is valid.. I was able to restore it too a differnet HP laptop a 8560w.. with the same boot disk, but since the HP 8560w has a built in cd reader.. all works well.  I have updated the BIOS to the lastest as of today (F.18) I have updated the USB drivers, I have tired using F11 on the HP Folio and tried to restore it from that, but what comes up, does not support a system image restore, F11 only works for system restores..  I need some aid.. I have a valid Windows 7 system image on a external USB 2.0 hard drive. I would like to restore it to a HP Folio13.

    Hello canadianguy2,
    Your Folio13 is a Business model.  Your issue would be best answered on the HP Enterprise Business Community Forum
    Good luck!

  • Exchange 2010 - Clustering & DAG problems after restoring CLUSTER from domain

    Hi there!
    SITE 1
    Primary EXCHANGE server (2010SP3 with latest CU) with all the roles installed
    SITE 2
    Secondary Exchange server (2010SP3 with latest CU) with only mailbox role for DAG purpouse.
    SITE 1 and SITE 2 are connected with site-to-site-vpn.
    Both servers are on 2008 r2 ENT.
    About 3-4 months ago we have accidentely delete DAG node from domain. We have managed to restore it from domain with using AD RESTORE and checking that DAG is member of all the required Exchange groups in the domain.
    Now we are having some big problems if site-to-site-vpn dropps, our primary Exchange server in SITE1 is not working.
    If VPN dropps between the sites, OWA gets unavailable as it Exchange servers would think that Exchange in SITE2 is primary server.
    Please advice us how to track and repair the root of the problem.
    With best regards,
    bostjanc

  • Can you have two Enterprise CA on the same AD Domain at the same time

    Hello
    Can someone please help me with the following question
    If I have a Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise Root CA on the AD Domain can I also Add a separate Windows 2012 R2 Enterprise Root CA to the same domain.
    We do not use Autoenrollment on the existing 2003 R2 CA.
    Network guys want to introduce a Cisco BYOD (Bring Your Own Devise) solution using Cisco ISE (Identity Services Engine) which uses SCEP/NDES and therefore need certificates from CA. The thing is the ISE recommend 2008 AD CS as a minimum
    Therefore I wonder if Installing a 2012 R2 Root CA that only provides certificates via the NDES/ISE solution would be a possibility. 
    I understand the Root CA Cert is held in a container under the 'Configuration' partition in Active Directory. Therefore can you have Two Root CA certs in the AD container at the same time for the same AD Domain/Forest?
    The idea would then be to migrate other services to the new CA and phase out the old 2003 R2 CA over time.
    Thanks All

  • 10g Express Edition on Windows 2008 Enterprise R2 x64 with Active Directory

    I have successfully installed the 10g Express Edition on Windows 2008 Ent. r2 x64 with Microsoft Active Directory Domain Controller but i could not be able to run http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
    Although i have run the http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex on my another Windows 2008 R2 x64 ant WITHOUT Active Directory Domain Controller Role.
    i think its related with AD Domain server role of my server, because i run that on same config and operation without Active Directory Domain Controller role.
    Can anyone help about this issue?
    thanks in advance

    I have experienced the same problem - running 10g Express on a Win 2008 (32-bit). When not being a Domain controller, the install was fine. When installing after the server had been given the Domain Controller role (+the required DNS), it failed. NO FIREWALLS are involved on the server. Seems like Oracle Express has problems being installed in this kind of environment - independent of x32 or x64 bit OS.

    if(FAILED(CoInitialize(NULL))) { /* quit */ }while(FAILED(hRes = spObj.CoCreateInstance(CLDIS_MyClass, NULL, CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER)))
    // LogFailure(hRes);
    Sleep(10);
    The problems occurs only on a single machine having Windows 2008 Enterprise SP2 installed (it works fine on other machines / OS versions). It happens only during the system startup (this is a Windows Service) and only for the first call of the CoCreateInstance.
    The second call always succeeds.
    The problem does not occurr when starting the service manually from Services.
    I did some investigation using Process Monitor and found that the HKCR\CLSID\[CLSID of MyClass]\LocalServer32!LocalServer32 registry value is accessed before the failure. The registry value exists - it is added by the Windows Installer during
    installation.
    If I remove the registry value then the CoCreateInstance always succeeds.
    I've been trying to lookup for some documentation on HKCR\CLSID\...\LocalServer32!LocalServer32 but haven't found anything useful other than it's a "Windows Installer Entrypoint". I assume that the Windows Installer does some integrity checks when
    calling CoCreateInstance for such class and this fails for some reason but currently I fail to find the reason.
    Can anyone help finding out what's the root cause of the 0x8007007e error here, please? Any help or tip is much appreciated.
    Many thanks!
    Marcin.

  • Windows 8.1 will not issue a Domain Name Request.

    I have a windows 8.1 system that will not issue a Domain Name Request to resolve a simple query such as www.microsoft.com.  It works OK in my Windows 7 system on the same computer.  I know this is happening because I run the Wireshark packet
    trace on each system. Windows 7 issues the request; Windows 8 does not.  I can flush the DNS cache with "ipconfig /flushdns, net stop dnscache, net start dnscache".  When I try to do email,  Thunderbird can't find the server; when
    I try to browse the internet, the browser(Opera, Chrome, Mozilla) can't resolver  the name.  ipconfig /all looks normal.  The Domain Name Server is hardwired (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, or 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220).  Any ideas?

    Hi,
    If you ping  the server with its IP address, could it work? If so, it should be your Windows 8.1 DNS components problem.
    When this problem occures? If this problem just occures recently, it would be better to make system restore to revert your system to a former normal time point.
    In not, firstly, try to reinstall NIC driver for test. Also check Event Viewer if it identify the problem.
    As you said, you run Wireshark Packet. In my opinion, it would be better to run this tool to capture you network communication trace in Windows 8.1. This maybe could help you find the reason of the problem.
    In addition, Network Monitor also a good choice to captuer network trace.

  • Windows Backup fails to complete and System shows 29 Restore Points all titled "System Image restore point" but none will work.

    Problems both seemed to appear about the same time and may be related.
    Had backups on an  external drive prior to the problem and appeared to be working. I have since cleaned the external drive in an attempt to start a new backup series but it continues to stop and report backup has failed.
    The System restore was working fine and one day it had changed all the existing Restore Points to "System Image restore point"
    but still showed all the different dates.  In the System Properties window it indicates that there are 0 bytes in "current usages",
    which I assume they are all empty but I can't create any new ones. I get Error code 0x80042308. 
    I have tried the Clean Boot with no results. I use MS Security Essentials for virus protection.
    I have no other symptoms or problems on the PC.
    About ready for a Recovery and start all over.

    Hi,
    Your first step should be to run chkdsk /r /f on all the drives in that computer. Shadow copy errors are often caused by disk problems (usually minor) which chkdsk will find and correct.
    Also, this issue can be caused that VSS dlls are corrupted.
    Re-install the VSS dlls by following these steps:
    a. Using command prompt, CD to the WINDOWS\system32 directory
    b. Stop the Volume Shadow Copy service by executing the command "net stop vss"
    c. Register the following DLLs and services by executing these commands:
    regsvr32 ole32.dll
    regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
    Vssvc /Register
    regsvr32 /i swprv.dll
    regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll
    regsvr32 es.dll
    regsvr32 stdprov.dll
    regsvr32 vssui.dll
    regsvr32 msxml.dll
    regsvr32 msxml3.dll
    regsvr32 msxml4.dll
    Hope these could be helpful.

    I assume you are doing this as part of OBIA, thne you need to check if Oracle supports it on win 2008 or not.
