2012 Active Directory compatibility

Hi,
i have 2 servers one with all the setup Active Directory (Server 2003) and a new one for ERP application (Server 2012). My question is Whether 2 servers, 2003 Active Directory compatible with 2012 Active Directory and how to. Thank you for your
kind advice
Saiful

Hi,
If i understood correctly your question, you are asking if the 2003 AD domain controller is compatble with another 2012 AD domain controller?
If this is the case then the answer would be yes once you have the schema requirements for 2012 domain controllers upgraded. There is an issue with 2003 DCs and 2012 R2 in terms of AES encryption but there is a hotfix for that released by Microsoft.
See more below:

  • Upgrade from Windows Server 2012 Active Directory to Windows Server 2012 R2 Active Directory

    We are currently running Windows Server 2012 Active Directory and would like to upgrade to Windows Server 2012 R2 AD. Is it OK to just do an in-place upgrade, or is it advisable to build new domain controllers on R2? Are there any guides or articles anyone
    can recommend?

    Hi Ginandtonic,
    To upgrade DC(Domain Controller) from windows server 2012 to windows server 2012 r2, please refer to these articles:
    Upgrade from windows Server 2012 to 2012 R2

    I hope this helps.

  • New 2012 Active Directory Domain - Naming Convention

    Hi Guys,
    I am working for a start-up company, who currently use Office 365 (Mid-Size Business) for their email and for the use of SharePoint.
    I have been tasked with designing and building a fresh new 2012 Active Directory, but I am a little unsure of how to name the new domain with Server 2012, previously I would have used a ".local" name, but I have read a lot of articles that say
    this should not be done anymore, rather we use the external domain name of the company with a sub-domain prefixed.
    Whilst I have read quite a bit about this method, there doesn't seem to be a clear right or wrong answer, can someone advise what would be best practice in my situation?
    Kind Regards
    Simon

    Thanks for all the information guys :-)
    Our external domain is as follows:
    company.parentcompany.org.uk
    I am now looking at using the following name internally:
     internal.company.parentcompany.org.uk
    What (if any) DNS entries are required for browsing to our website, and for using outlook online and lync online?
    Many thanks for any help that can be provided.
    Regards
    Simon.

  • Join to Windows Server 2012 Active Directory.

    How to I join Windows Server 2012 Active Diretory without putting manually Windows Server 2012:s ip adress at ?referred DNS server? Can someone help me?

    I'm not sure what you are asking here.  Are you asking how to join another server to a Active Directory domain without having to enter IP information into that other server?  If so, the server joining has to have an IP address and it has to have
    a DNS entry that knows about the Active Directory domain.  Therefore, there are two ways to accomplish this.  First is to assign a fixed IP address and DNS address to the server you are trying to join to the domain.  The second is to have a
    DHCP server in the environment that will assign the IP and DNS.  Alternatively on the second option is to have DHCP assign the IP address and then you manually specify the DNS that knows about the Active Directory domain being joined.
    No matter how you do it, it has to have a valid IP address and DNS entry that knows the location of the AD domain.

  • SCCM 2012 Active Directory System Discovery - How does it find systems?

    I have setup System Discovery for the forest and have not limited the view of the forest in any way.  Also I have it to setup to discover everything, no limits on the number of days since last check-in. But I have some objects that haven't checked
    into the domain in years that are enabled (yes i want to delete them) and others are disabled that don't show up.  If there is a discovered object that I disable in AD, I run a full discovery and it still found.
    My question is for this discovery, what criteria does SCCM look for?  I assume that it authenticates to the domain with the supplied user account and reads Active Directory and pulls objects.  From there, does it pull Disabled objects or leave
    them be?  If a client hasn't checked in in over 90 (or any number) days, does it discard that automatically? I'm just trying to understand the discovery process.

    it should look for objects that are in AD and also in DNS. When you use the 90 days rules, those objects will not be deleted from the ConfigMgr database (that's a site maintenance rule), the discovery process will just not discover the object.

  • SCCM 2012-Active Directory Site

    Hello All, 
    I was create the collection by name of IN-ACTIVE for India location but in that collection USA systems also falling then when I was check those all USA machines the Active Directory site name showing different OU name 
    Here my Goal is :
    Why other Country machines reporting to this collection and AD site name also showing another not USA OU ?
    Anyone can help me 
    Best Regard's Krishna

    if you are sure that,US computers are not in India location OU ,you may check by picking up one US computer(that you feel,it is part of India OU Collection ),properties ,and look for its OU details.

  • Server 2012 Active Directory replication problems

    Hi.
    I`ve got a forest with 2 sites.
    forest - domain.local
    site a: - everything appears to work fine
    srv-adc1 10.100.100.11 - domain controller - replicating with srv-adc2
    srv-adc2 10.100.100.12 - domain controller - replicating with srv-adc1
    site b: - was offline for more then 180 days
    srv-bdc1 10.200.100.11 - domain controller - not replicating with srv-adc1
    srv-bdc2 10.200.100.12 - demoted domain controller
    each domain controller is also a dns server
    all the servers are microsoft 2012
    site B was offline for more than 180 days, so it exceeded the tombstone`s lifetime.
    i demoted srv-bdc2 and did a metadata cleanup on the rest of the servers.
    i took srv-bdc2 out of the domain and brought it back in.
    when i try and promote it again i get an access denied error.
    when i try and browse to \\domain.local\ from any server in the site B i get a network name error.
    the same thing if i try \\srv-adc1\
    with ip its working just fine.
    i look everywhere in the dns but got nothing.
    anyone has an idea?

    thanks for replying.
    Both of them were down for about a year.
    Should i remove them from the domain, or just demoting them will be good enough?
    will it affect something on siteb?

  • SCCM 2012: Active Directory Group Discovery, Delta Discovery?

    Hi,
    Our scenario:
    *Software is requested via a seperate system which puts AD computer objects in groups
    *Software within SCCM 2012 is deployed to computer collections
    *Computer collections query AD groups, in those AD groups the pc's reside
    *Collections memberships run via AD query (every 20 minutes)
    *We deploy an OS (Windows 7) via SCCM
    *Machine policy is updates every 20 minutes
    What is important: AD Group discovery is set to full discovery every 7 days, delta discovery set to 15 minutes
    So what happens:
    *Pc is staged correctly with Windows 7 but software isn't coming through in time (sometimes it's there within the hour, sometimes it takes 6 hours)
    *If we run a full AD Group discovery mostly software is installing immediately
    *Sometimes a SCCM 2012 client machine reset policy or reinstall client solves the problem
    My questions:
    *Would it be better to run full discoveries every x minutes since this always solves our problem
    *Would it be better to disable the delta discovery if we do the change above to minimize AD queries
    => tried that now (full discovery every 30 minutes and disabled delta discovery) but I don't want to put to much pressure on our domain controller
    *Our software collections are limited to all systems, we could limit them to a Windows 7 collection. Probably we should do that but any suggestion how to do this safely in Powershell?
    Please advise.
    J.
    Jan Hoedt
    Note: what I don't get is why a full ad discovery system discovery sovles the problem since SCCM 2012 collections do a AD query, what 's the link there?

    So, let me see if I get this correct for our situation:
    Our own developed system puts pc’s in AD groups
    SCCM 2012 polls these groups, by default 1/week full discovery then every 30 minutes a delta discovery
    We deploy software to computer collections, these collections check the SCCM 2012 database every 30 minutes (collection update) Note: the query our collection do, is based upon requirement of Windows 6.1 + membership of an AD group.
    The SCCM 2012 client/computer does a computer policy update every 30 minutes to see what collections it is member of and see then the software to be deployed
     2 questions:
    *Our my assumptions correct? Specifically point 3.: is the query fully coming from an ad sync (or also from sccm client, f.e. Windows 6.1%)?
    *Don’t we have a step to much then, wouldn’t it be better to add a direct membership of the AD group within SCCM? This direct membership would mean no query and so save us about 20 minutes (run of query)?

  • SQL Server 2000\2005 compatibility with Active Directory 2012

    Hi All,
    We are currently using Active Directory 2003 and will be upgrading to AD 2012.  I'm trying to determine if there is any known compatibility issues when running older versions of SQL Server (2000 and 2005) when upgrading to AD 2012.   I've
    read forums from when others went from AD 2003 to AD 2008 and didn't experience any issues.  We have the newer versions of SQL but I'm not too concerned about these.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated?   Has anyone been through
    this process. 
    Thanks,

    Hi CraftsmanRobert,
    Based on my understanding, you used Active Directory 2003, then it would be upgraded to Active Directory 2012. You wanted to run older versions of SQL Server (2000 and 2005) with Active Directory 2012.
    Firstly, there can be a compatibility problem when run older version with Active Directory 2012. SQL Server 2005 (the release version and service packs) and earlier versions of SQL Server are not supported on Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012,
    Windows 8.1, or Windows 8. For more information, please refer to this article: How to use SQL Server in Windows and Windows Server environments (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2681562/en-us).
    Besides, Microsoft doesn’t provide assisted support for SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 already. Please upgrade the existing instance of SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 to a new version like SQL Server 2012. You can download SQL Server 2012 Express
    from this link:
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29062.

  • New Server 2012 install - Active Directory not working properly

    We recently converted from 2003 to 2012. Our 2012 R2 server seems to be running fine. We did a DCPROMO on the OLD 2003 DC just fine but now there are all sorts of odd errors (Sharepoint can't authenticate users, Can't run Exchange 2013 on another 2012 server
    because it can't find AD, etc.)
    on the DC we have a Group Policy error 1096. "Group Policy Object LDAP://CN=User,cn={2B476B3E-2749-4B1B-8EC1-F5672A66F94F},cn=policies,cn=system,DC=mydom,DC=local\\mydom.local\SysVol\mydom.local\Policies\{2B476B3E-2749-4B1B-8EC1-F5672A66F94F}\User\registry.pol"
    So far I haven't found anything on how to fix this (and the AD itself.) There are some errors in the DCDIAG log, too:
          Starting test: NetLogons
             Unable to connect to the NETLOGON share! (\\ISD-DC1\netlogon)
             [ISD-DC1] An net use or LsaPolicy operation failed with error 67,
             The network name cannot be found..
    Starting test: FrsEvent
             There are warning or error events within the last 24 hours after the
             SYSVOL has been shared.  Failing SYSVOL replication problems may cause
             Group Policy problems.
    Any suggestions how we can fix these errors are greatly appreciated!

  • Dynamics CRM 2015 Install requires Active Directory on VM Windows 2012 R2 Server

    Hello,
    I'm trying to install Dynamics CRM 2015 on a standalone VM not connected to a domain (it's running under WIndows 8.1 Professional). The VM was configured using WIndows Server 2012 R2. I'm getting an error message shortly into the install process stating
    it needs to access Active Directory.
    How can I get around this issue - I just want to Install this CRM on the VM without getting into complicate network/AD issues.
    Can you please advise ?
    SO many thanks,
    John

    CRM requires AD no way around that so the most likely solution is to install it on that server or on a VM not connected to your other networks

  • How do I setup Active Directory and Group Policy on Windows Server 2012?

    I work for a school district that uses a Windows 2012 server with about 400 Windows 7 PCs and 150 Mac PCs. We are set up with Roaming Profiles on the PCs and would like to be able to setup Active Directory, Group Policy, and Roaming Profiles on our macs. (We also have a mac server that they are using as a file server only) As we are a school, our funds are very low. Now for the questions...
    Is there a software that allow us to accomplish this?
    Is there a free solution or a very reduced price option to do this?
    I heard that http://www.centrify.com/products/mac-edition.asp may accomplish this and I read something about it on here but didn't know if this is what I was really trying to do becuase it was marked as "The Golden Triangle" and did not mention Raoming Profiles. This is the link though: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17200059#17200059
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The above reply does not take into account that I am trying to use GROUP POLICY EDITOR to make it the default browser.
