2012 R2 Network Config

I am looking for advice. I'm setting up a remote lab environment and I am running into a few issues I need to resolve. Most of these are design and config issues. The environment I am running in is entirely Server 2012 R2. My test environment has a system
center server with SQL 2012 and SCVMM and SCOM installed. The other servers are an array manager/DC (Server 2012 R2), and 2 Core Hyper-V servers that are clustered and have network load balancing set up.
Here is what I am trying to achieve in testing. I have a VM image that runs proprietary software that is locked to a specific IP address for licensing. I need to allow 100 users to connect to versions of the same VM. So I would have 100 versions of the same
virtual server running on the same virtual network at the same time by 100 different uses. These would all be accessed by users through the VMM console (Eventually through a custom interface).
What is the best way to set this up? Multiple access? Multitenancy with each user on a different cloud space? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Windows 2012: change network profile

    Hi i have a query, how to change network profile to public from domain in a server on Windows 2012?
    Best regards

    Best Regards Edgar

    Hi,
    Thanks for your post.
    If the server is domain joined, when it starts to detect the network location, the machine will contact a DC via port 389. If this detection successful, it will get the domain profile. And we cannot change it. If the domain was not found or process failed,
    NLA will let you to determine which firewall profile will be used, private or public.
    For more information about Network Location Awareness, you may refer to the following article. It also applies to Windows 2012.

  • I have been trying to reinstall my PhotoSmart309a. Network config report says its disabled - how to

    I have been reinstalling my Photosmart 309a and when doing the wireless network set up - it never finds the network so I ran a network config page and it says my wireless is disabled.  I have restored all network settings and shut off the printer/restarted with #6 depressed as I restarted (tip from HP support) and not no avail.  My printer can still not find the network.  This has typically been very easy to setup but something has happened.  
    Any suggestions as to how to ENABLE the wireless on the printer???
    Please help.
    RGAonline

    Hi RGAonline,
    If you connect a Ethernet cable from the printer to the router does the network configuration page show an IP address?
    Use Wireless Setup Wizard
    Write down your network name (SSID) and WEP key or WPA passphrase.
    Turn on wireless radio.
    Press Setup.
    Highlight Network and press OK.
    Highlight Wireless Radio and press OK.
    Highlight On and press OK.
    Start Wireless Setup Wizard.
    Highlight Wireless Setup Wizard and press OK.
    Highlight your network name and press OK
    Follow the prompts on display to complete connection.
    Press OK to print a network configuration page.

  • Using NIC Teaming and a virtual switch for Windows Server 2012 host networking and Hyper-V.

    Using NIC Teaming and a virtual switch for Windows Server 2012 host networking!
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mOuoIWzmdE
    Hi thanks for reading. Now I may well have my terminology incorrect here so I will try to explain  as best I can and apologies from the start.
    It’s a bit of both Hyper-v and Server 2012R2. 
    I am setting up a lab with Server 2012 R2. I have several physical network cards that I have teamed called “HostSwitchTeam” from those I have made several Virtual Network Adaptors such as below
    examples.
    New-VMSwitch "MgmtSwitch" -MinimumBandwidthMode weight -NetAdaptername "HostSwitchTeam" -AllowManagement $false
    Add-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -Name "Vswitch" -SwitchName "MgmtSwitch"
    Add-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -Name "Cluster" -SwitchName "MgmtSwitch"
    When I install Hyper-V and it comes to adding a virtual switch during installation it only shows the individual physical network cards and the
    HostSwitchTeam for selection.  When installed it shows the Microsoft Network Multiplexor Driver as the only option. 
    Is this correct or how does one use the Vswitch made above and incorporate into the Hyper-V so a weight can be put against it.
    Still trying to get my head around Vswitches,VMNetworkadapters etc so somewhat confused as to the way forward at this time so I may have missed the plot altogether!
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi P.J.E,
    >>I have teams so a bit confused as to the adapter bindings and if the teams need to be added or just the vEthernet Nics?.
    Nic 1,2 
    HostVMSwitchTeam
    Nic 3,4,5
             HostMgmtSwitchTeam
    >>The adapter Binding settings are:
    HostMgmtSwitchTeam

    Nic 4
    Nic 5
    V-Livemigration
    HostVMSwitch
    Nic 1
    Nic 2
    V-iSCSI
    V-HeartBeat
    Based on my understanding of the description , "HostMgmtSwitchTeam and
    HostVMSwitch " are teamed NIC .
    You can think of them as two physical NICs (do not use NIC 1,2,3,4,5 any more , there are just two NICs "HostMgmtSwitchTeam and
    HostVMSwitch").
    V-Curric,
    V-Livemigration , V-iSCSI ,
    V-HeartBeat are just VNICs of host  (you can change their name then check if the virtual switch name will be changed )

  • Difficulty obtaining open DNS IP using any network config tool.

    Hey everyone...  I've searched the thread archives and haven't found a solution to this yet...
    I'm having a hard time connecting to any of my school networks. One is a guest network, one is a wpa2 encrypted network.
    Using nmcli to connect (after creating the profile) I get the following error:

  • How to do Server 2012 R2 Network Policy Server MAC Authentication without adding ad users?

    I have a Network Policy Server running on Server 2012 R2.  I have set it up to do certificate and PEAP authentication for our 802.1x wireless authentication
    and that works great.
    Now I want to add a policy to this server so I can also do MAC address authentication our unauthenticated open wireless ssid so i can assign roles based on the
    mac address.  I got our Aruba controller setup to send the mac address to the radius server, but the radius server just denies access because I am not sure how to get it to use themsNPCallingStationID attribute. 
    I have found several ways do to this included adding active directory users for every single MAC address with the mac address as the username and password.  I
    do not want to do that.  This is not an option.
    I have also found several posts about using ieee802Device.  I can't find a way to get that to work.
    I also found a suggestion to use msNPCallingStationID ad attribute.  I can easily set this for each user as their mac addresses but how do I configure the
    NPS server to use this attribute to authenticate this?
    If you have any other ideas on how to get MAC authentication to work, I would greatly appreciate it!
    Thank you for your assistance!

    Hi,
    I think you may have some misunderstand about the MAC address Authorization, MAC address authorization is based on the MAC address of the network adapter installed in
    the access client computer. Like ANI authorization, MAC address authorization uses the Calling-Station-ID attribute instead of user name and password or certificate-based credentials to identify the user during the connection attempt.
    MAC address authorization is performed when the user does not type in any user name or password, and refuses to use any valid authentication method. In this case, Network
    Policy Server (NPS) receives the Calling-Station-ID attribute, and no user name and password. To support MAC address authorization, Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) must have user accounts that contain MAC addresses as user names, therefore you need
    add the MAC address as the computer user name and password,
    To use the MAC address as user name and password is Cisco® switch require condition, about your switch device please ask your hardware vendor.
    If you want to combine the MAC address MAC filtering and
     EAP Authentication, you can refer the following related article:

  • Server 2012 R2 Network Teaming Issues After Adding WOW64 Feature

    Recently I have had a specific issue adding the WOW64 feature to an active Server 2012 R2 server in core mode (no management).  The server had two active virtual machines.  A server 2008 R2 in version 1 mode and a 2012 R2 in version 2.  
    All were up2date as of April 10 2015.  This was a domain connected core with domain connected virtual machines.  We are the domain administrator.
    After using powershell to install WOW64 and issuing a restart we lost all external network connectivity to the server once the server came back up.  From the console we could ping 127.0.0.1 and all the network addresses of each VM but not the
    default gateway or any address on the local network.  We tried several resolutions including disabling all firewall rules and assigning a known VLAN but nothing worked.  Something went completely haywire within Windows 2012 R2 and network teaming
    and the virtual switch that supplies the VM's with communication.
    What we had to do was remove one of the physical network adapters from the team using powershell from the core console.  We then assigned an address to the nic and whallah we were able to remotely communicate to the server again but the problem
    still remained with communicating to the team.   
    After hours of trials we finally stumbled on a solution deleting the hyper-v virtual switch though a remote console, then the team through powershell.  This of course broke all the hyper-v VM's.  We said f'it and rebooted. 
    This is the magical combination apparently
    We then recreated the team using the remote management GRAPHICAL widget using every physical EXCEPT the nic we were communicating to.   Then we recreated the hyper-v virtual switch remotely again with the GRAPHICAL widget and assigned
    it an address using the command line sconfig tool.   We then went into the GRAPHICAL hyper-v manager and assigned all VM's to the new virtual switch.  WOW everything works again
    Let me just say here in this post that the lack of graphical management in CORE mode is a complete nightmare.  The fact we have to use some graphical tools to perform certain tasks and the command line for others is just silly.  The sconfig.exe
    tool should have built-in teaming commands as inexperienced remote administrators are very difficult to work with over the phone trying to explain spelling of the upper/lowercase commands. 
    This post is more informative than really asking a specific question but if I were to ask one I'd ask, why did installing the WOW64 feature and rebooting break the external communication of the team and the virtual switch?

    Hi gettnmorebetter,
    Could you try to confirm whether you have in the following situation, if you do not found the related symptom please try to install the latest update then monitor the issue
    again.

  • Server 2012 New Network Assistance

    Hi, I hope someone can point me in the right direction. It has been a number of years since I had anything to do with networking and I am obviously way out of practice, also
    I have never used Server 2012 so I am getting confused.
    I have been asked if I can help set up a network for a very small company who can only stretch to one server, as such I am probably trying to ask a lot from one machine. As
    you can see from the diagram below, I am trying to implement a secure internal network (e.g. internal.local) and an external connection (e.g. external.com). On the external side I would like a website and DirectAccess, on the internal side I need a subnet
    (?) that can accommodate file and printer sharing. The maximum number of internal nodes will be 15 – 20; with some of them requiring wireless access.
    One of the issues I’m facing is the fact that, due to locality, the only access for the internet is via an Osprey Black from EE 4G, . Although this device can connect up to
    10 wireless nodes I want to use it for the sole purpose of internet connection, I will also need to ensure that they have a static IP address.
    My questions are 1) is this possible with one server running 2012 R2 (or is there a better way)? And 2) do I need two NIC’s and bridge them?
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Tim,
    Thank you very much for the reply and I apologise for the delayed response.
    I know, a locked room with no power supply and definitely no humans = a secure computer (maybe!) :) 
    Setting up the physical server as a Hyper-V host and running two VM instances of Windows Server seems a
    good solution. 
    I was hoping to use a Hardware Firewall on the external side but may have to rely on individual machines defences internally.
    After spending a little time researching I believe I am OK with the idea of setting up the VM instances and configuring them (I have downloaded an
    evaluation copy of server 2012 and using VirtualBox to test). However, for the life of me I can't figure out the first steps :( There are a lot of good resources and tutorials about setting up Hyper-V but that large number is a little confusing.
    Assuming I have just returned from the store with my shiny new machine and downloaded the correct version of Server 2012 - do I simply install Server 2012 onto the machine
    and then create the VM's?
    Sorry if this sounds really dumb
    Thanks

  • Wireless Guest network config question

    Hello,
    I have installed SAP2602I access points at my customers location and configured a corporate network and a guest network.  Everything works fine except when a user is connected to the guest network, they cannot access a web server that is hosted internally.  Users on the guest network can access any other web-site fine, just not the one hosted by this same company on a local machine.  This locally hosted web-site can be accessed by users from the Internet just fine.
    I am guessing there is an issue with routing but I am not sure what, any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Mitchell Smith
    North Texas Networks

    Hi Steve,
    Thanks for your reply.  I am sure the problem is a hair pinning issue as the firewall config does not allow connections to the outside address from internal clients.
    Can you give me a sample config to make this work?  Is it just a firewall mod or more than that?
    Thanks,
    Mitchell

  • Server 2012 - Clustering CSV Config advice

    We have a Dell VHDX Server with 2 server blades (This has shared storage built in)
    I've installed Server 2012 Datacentre on both servers, configured a cluster (My first!)
    I have a number of HDD's in the chassis and hardware RAID is built in.
    A file-server VM, print server as well as other miscellaneous VM's will be installed on the cluster.
    What would be the ideal config for the CSV's? Should I create a RAID CSV exclusively for the VM's themselves to reside on?
    Then separate RAID CSV's for each data requirement?
    What about the SQL Server, should that have its own separate CSV? (Its not heavily utilised)
    For the File-server, should the primary group shares be in the file-server VHDX, or a separate VHDX for each?
    Should I consider using SMB 3.0? and how would I configure/design that?
    Any advice or suggestions appreciated.

    Looks like it's an extended version of a post from here:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/2d7cd5b0-cbe5-4dcd-8ed1-759c12cc81ae/server-2012-csv-raid-advice
    1) Don't go for multiple LUNs as that's an effective way to steal IOPS from your config. Put all spindles into RAID set and create one RAID10 LUN to host one CSV. Reasons are listed with the link above.
    2) Don't create multiple "islands" of storage. Hell to manage and lower performance.
    3) Don't separate moderately loaded SQL Server VM from other ones.
    4) You map SAS disks AS IS, creat Clustered Storage Spaces, create a CSV, you create file server VMs and keep shared content on a VHDX stored on CSV. See:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732181(v=ws.10).aspx
    With R2 you can use shared VHDX instead of iSCSI running on top of your storage.
    5) With two blades you cannot use SMB 3.0 as you cannot run it in a loopback. See:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/josebda/archive/2012/11/14/windows-server-2012-file-server-tip-avoid-loopback-configurations-for-hyper-v-over-smb.aspx
    With 4 blades you could in theory assign pair of blades to become Hyper-V hosts and another pair to become SoFS set but there's no point in doing this: you'll steal CPU resources from your hardware config (2 boxes instead of 4 running VMs) and make everything
    slower (1 GbE interconnect built-in into VRTX). Use Clustered Storage Spaces as that was the idea behind whole VRTX thing.Hope
    this helped :)

  • Disable EFS on Windows 2012 shared Network folder

    Hi,
    we have a Windows Server 2012 which is sharing a folder for all our domain users. We use EFS for some clients. If a client copies a file to the shared network folder, it should be automatically decrypted. But instead, the files are being copied with the
    encyrption, so that nobody else can open it. Clients should still be able to encrypt their files. 
    We've already disabled EFS on the Windows Server, but the files keep their encryption, after copying.
    Is there a way to disable EFS on a shared network folder?
    Best regards,
    Matthias

    There is no such option for EFS. If it is allowed, then all EFS operations are allowed.

    What is involved to transfer the IPs 10.36.19.145 (hme0:3:) and 140.20.140.142 (qfe1:#:) to serverB?
    Would that cause a lost of network connection to either 10.36.19.132 or 140.20.140.132 on SERVERA
    Would that require a reboot?
    Thank you.

    NIC configs are created using a combination of /etc/hosts | /etc/inet/ipnodes and /etc/hostname.<nic instance> files when system is booting up.
    In order to permanantly remove an IP from a host's interface (say hme0:3)
    you would have to do the following:
    NOTE: Don't run this on Solaris 7 or below -- unplumbing a virtual interface in Solaris 7 or below will unplumb the actual physical instance as well!!
    ifconfig hme0:3 down
    ifconfig hme0:3 unplumb
    Remove entry corresponding to the IP that was set up on hme0:3 from /etc/hosts and/or /etc/inet/ipnodes
    remove /etc/hostname.hme0:3In order to reverse the process (or set up the IP on another host), just reverse the steps. Make entries in /etc/hosts and/or /etc/inet/ipnodes, /etc/hostname.<nic instance> (insert hostname corresponding to IP from /etc/hosts in this file).
    ifconfig hme0:3 plumb
    ifconfig hme0:3 <ip> netmask + broadcast + up[[[Would that cause a lost of network connection to either 10.36.19.132 or 140.20.140.132 on SERVERA
    Would that require a reboot? ]]]
    Make sure to turn off any service that might be tied into that IP address on server A. Otherwise you'll have a loss of service. For eg: if you have an apache instance that's bound to that IP address, make sure you make adjustments/corrections or turn it off before you unplumb your interface).
    You don't have to necessarily reboot to make this happen. Just make sure you don't leave any stone unturned...

  • How to convert wired network config from /etc/rc.conf to netcfg?

    Hi,
    I am trying to migrate my wired network configuration from /etc/rc.conf to a netcfg profile.
    from /etc/rc.conf
    interface=eth0
    address=192.168.0.1
    netmask=255.255.255.0
    gateway=192.168.2.1
    /etc/network.d/wired
    CONNECTION='ethernet'
    DESCRIPTION='A basic static ethernet connection using iproute'
    INTERFACE='eth0'
    IP='static'
    ADDR='192.168.0.1'
    GATEWAY='192.168.2.1'
    DNS=('192.168.2.1')
    NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
    The problem is, it does not work: executing "netcfg wired" only gives
    :: wired up                 [BUSY] 
    > No connection        [FAIL]
    EDIT:
    NETCFG_DEBUG="yes" netcfg wired
    DEBUG: Loading profile wired
    DEBUG: Configuring interface eth0
    :: wired up                                                                                                                                                                                             [BUSY]
    DEBUG: status reported to profile_up as:
    DEBUG: Loading profile wired
    DEBUG: Configuring interface eth0
    DEBUG: ethernet_up bring_interface up eth0
    > No connection
    DEBUG: profile_up connect failed
                                                                                                                                                                                                            [FAIL]
    Any idea how to make it work?

    The rc.conf is correct because there are two diffrent subnets.
    My PS3 is connected to my computer via ethernet.
    The computer is connected via wifi to the router (ip 192.168.2.1).
    When using /etc/rc.d/network to start ethernet everything works perfect, the PS3 can stream video from the computer and access internet.
