Add existing Domain Tree into a forest

I see that there is the option in DCPROMO to add a CHILD or a DOMAIN TREE ROOT.
I have two existing domains, each has a root domain with two child domains. I have a need to join the two forests with one forest added to the other as a DOMAIN TREE.
Using DCPROMO I see that I could build the Forest structure from scratch. Is there anyway to join the existing FOREST ROOT as the DOMAIN TREE ROOT and retain all existing data in both forests?
Tom!

Unfortunately No. You need to establish trusts between your forests and start migrating resources to your destination domain.

Creating a new domain tree under the forest

Hi
I have one primary domain and one additional domain at moment so I want to create a new domain tree under the forest however during the configuration it gives me the below message ?
the last time I installed without tick marking "Create DNS Delegation" option I had a lot of issue in replication and in DNS between my forest domain and this new tree domain.
my main question would be:
1- how to resolve this ?
2- how to create a manual DNS delegation in Parent zone.?
please suggest ?

Hi greeMann,
This is an expected behaviour and it can be ignored. The error message occurs because this is the first DNS server so there is not a DNS server available to create the delegation from.
If you are not concerned that people in other domains or on the Internet will not resolve DNS name queries for computer names in the local domain, you can disregard the message and click Yes.

How to add existing jsp file to a project?

I am trying out 10g developer preview. Looks like a lot of bugs are there in the tool. I would like to know how to add existing jsp file into a project. I tried the Import functionality, but it shows the option to create a project and include only Java files. Is there a way to do this? Thank you

Questions on WS2012 Essentials integration into an existing domain

Hi,
I've successfully installed WS2012 Essentials RTM into an existing forest, and it's taken over the operations masters as expected. (This is my home domain, with two DCs -a ws2012 datacenter on a server and a 2008 VM - pre-existing.) There's some mysterious
behavior, though:
Domain users, though they show and work perfectly from the full-blown ADUC and ADAC AD management tools (which are available on the Essentials server), don't show up in the Dashboard to control access to Essentials services like shared folders and remote
web access.
Users created in the dashboard do show up in the domain. Is there some new attribute that must be set to enable my domain users to show up in the dashboard?
Computers, when attempting to enter the domain via the remote web access portal, are prompted to install the connector. Thinking this was like the WHS connector I started, but it wants to restart several times, input your new network user name and password,
etc. I'm loathe to go through the process in test and break a perfectly configured notebook. This is already a domain-joined computer that can access the Essentials server perfectly well over the network.
Apologies in advance if this is in documentation somewhere, but I suspect less has been written about the peculiarities of joining an Essentials server to a full domain than to an SBS domain.
Thanks,
Sean

Hi,
Users created in Dashboard could be viewed via Dashboard and ADUC; Users created in ADUC could ONLY be viewd via ADUC. It's by design.
Only users created by Dashboard have rights to deal with remote access, I think you have already compared with the users in ADUC:
I have tried to add these groups for this specific AD user. However, the users will not display in the Dashboard. Also the user still has no rights to visit RWA.
I think it's related to the security. Even you have created an account in ADUC, the same account can't be created in Dashboard:
So I think towards the Windows Server 2012 Essentails user management, action in Dashboard will be the best practice.
It's really a good idea to show the AD users and add existed user to allow RWA. So you could submt your feed via the site below:

Question about adding Windows 2012 R2 Domain Controller, into a native Windows 2008 R2 single forest domain

I current have a two server domain, both Windows 2008 R2 and fully updated. The two servers are on subnet 10.0.1.0 /24
- Windows 2008 R2 Server A: 10.0.1.1 (DC, GC, FSMO, DNS)
- Windows 2008 R2 Server B: 10.0.1.2 (DC, GC)
AD Domain: COMPANY.LOCAL
I have a second connected subnet, 192.168.1.0 /24) which is routed to the 10.0.1.0/24 subnet and I would like to install a Windows 2012 R2 server onto a server on that subnet and make it a domain controller with AD-Integrated DNS and DHCP for the 192.168.1.0
/24 subnet.
- Windows 2012 R2 Server C: 192.168.1.1
What are the proper progression steps, in order to bring up the Windows 2012 R2 server and then add it to my COMPANY.LOCAL domain and then promote it do a DC/GC/AD-Integrated DNS server? Are they anything like the following:
1. Install Windows 2012 R2 server (Server C)
2. Point Windows 2012 R2 server DNS servers at Server's A and B
3. Perform AD prep to extend AD schema to support Windows 2012 R2 domain controllers
4. Promote Windows 2012 R2 server to domain controller (install local DNS service on Server C, during this step)
* Question: Will Windows automatically create a DNS zone for the Windows 2012 R2 subnet (192.168.1.0/24) AND also include the DNS zone from the previous Windows 2008 R2 domain (10.0.1.0 /24)? Or will I need to add the 10.0.1.0 /24 zone to the DNS
server on Server C, even though the DNS from the Windows 2008 R2 domain is AD integrated?

Hi,
Regarding the issue here, please take a look into below articles:
System Requirements and Installation Information for Windows Server 2012 R2

How can someone add servers and computers to a separate domain in a separate forest without having permissions to the other forest?

Hello Community
    On an existing network I added separate domain in a separate forest using WS2012.
    Lets call it "MyDomain" and "MyForest" on WS2012.
    In MyDomain and MyForest I am the only domain administrator.
    The problem is if you go to "File Explorer" and click on "Network" in MyDomain in MyForest,
I see that other server administrators have added their servers and workstations to
MyDomain in MyForest but I never added them as users or administrators to my domain in my forest.
    So the question is how can a someone from a separate domain in
a separate forest add servers and computers to MyDomain in Myforest
when I haven't added them as user or administrators or given them
any permission in MyDomain in MyForest?
    Thank you
    Shabeaut

Using the network in file explorer, this shows machines that the computer has automatically detected using built in Microsoft processes. All this means is that you have other computers on the same physical network as yourself. These are no necessarily part
of your domain. If the machines are set to respond, then so long as they receive a discovery request from your PC they will respond and populate that list. This does not mean they are part of your domain, or that they have access to any of your computers (
apart from low level stuff like ping which does not rely on domain membership.)
Apart from a Domain Admin, the only other people who can make changes to your domain are whoever is an Enterprise Admins. Domain Admins have control over their domains but Enterprise Admin have full permissions to the entire Active Directory infrastructure,
no matter which forest or domain it is.

Can I add an Airport Express into an existing Non Airport Wireless Network?

Hi -
Is there any way I can add an Airport Express into an existing Linksys wireless (802.11g) network?. I would not mind switching completely over to Airport but I want to maintain a hybrid (part wired part wireless) configuration as I have now.
thanks for any assistance!!

Hi skyelaird and welcome to the Discussions
Is there any way I can add an Airport Express into an
existing Linksys wireless (802.11g) network?.
Yes.
You would need to configure the Airport Express to join an existing wireless network (client mode).
In this mode you can share a USB printer and stream AirTunes, however the ethernet port would be inactive.

Can't add Server 2012 to existing domain

I'm getting this error:
"Verification of replica failed. The forest functional level is Windows 2000. To install Windows Server 2012 domain or domain controller, the forest functional level must be Windows Server 2003."
My forest level is set at 2008R2, per AD Domains and Trusts (on both the 08 servers and 2012). The forest was set at 2003 before, so I demoted the old 2003 server and raised it to 2008 with no luck, then went ahead and went to 2008R2.
The 2012 server (clean install, no upgrades) is already a member of the domain.
adprep /forestprep reports "forest wide information has already been updated"
Connectivity seems to be fine (ping, no firewalls) between the 2 08R2 DCs and the new 2012 server. Weird thing is all the AD tools are installed in 2012, and I can even create new domain users from it.

Hello,
You dont need manual schema upgarde for adding a new windows 2012 Domain controller. That is integrated with dcpromotion. Also you dont required the DCPROMO.
Set DFL & FFL minimum 2003.
See the below link for adding a 2012 DC for an existing domain.
Install a Replica Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller in an Existing Domain (Level 200)
As with previous versions of Windows Server, automated domain preparation for domain controllers that run Windows server 2012 does not run GPPREP. Run
adprep.exe /gpprep manually for all domains that were not previously prepared for Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, or Windows Server 2008 R2. You should run GPPrep only once in the history of a domain, not with every upgrade. Adprep.exe
does not run /gpprep automatically because its operation can cause all files and folders in the SYSVOL folder to re-replicate on all domain controllers.
Still if you are facing issue. please upload the below outputs in skydrive & share us the link.
repadmin /replsummary * >> repl.txt
repadmin /showreps /v >> showreps.txt
DCDIAG /V /C /D /E /s:dcname >> dcdiag-DCS.txt

   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
      if(jtable.getSelectedRow() >= 0 )
          tablemodel.insertRow(jtable.getSelectedRow(), new java.util.Vector());

Importing existing database domain definitions into the DQS Domain management

I have databases that domain based with rules and defaults. There are approximately 400 domains and 10,000 application attributes based upon various domains and associated with a default and/or rule. How can I leverage the existing domains into DQS.
I normally use formerly CA Erwin data modeling tool. Is there a bulk import form either SQL server or ERwin?

Hi Peter,
I am not sure if you having problems getting started with DQS or you need to import (meta) data from a third party tool.
If the former I recommend you follow the
Enterprise Information Management using SSIS, MDS, and DQS Together tutorial. You can also get some overview information in the Microsoft Virtual Academy
Implementing a Data Warehouse with SQL Server Jump Start course module 6.
If the latter you will need to import the data from either Excel or SQL Server and apply all rules manually. Be sure to get your business people involved to handle (offload from you) all the data stewarding taks. The software is designed to used by normal
business people, so leverage that.
Good luck.
Best regards,
Arjen

Fail to add domain user into local group - RPC server unavailable

Hi all,
I have a server-1 which is join to domain A. I need to add a domain user from domain B to my server-1 local group. I keep getting "The RPC server is unavailable" error message.
But i try to use another server-2 which also belong to domain A and same network segment as server-1, i do not encounter this error while adding domain B user onto it.
The problematic server-1 is a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 server. It is install with IIS and MS SQL database 2008.
Just one thing i am guessing whether is it the cause of the problem. Before server-1 join to domain A, i did not disable windows firewall. I disable it only recently. Could this has cause the problem on my server-1?

Let's recap to make sure I understand exactly what you have going on:
- Server 1 and Server 2 are both on Domain A and in the same site, behind the same firewalls
- Adding a user from Domain B works on Server 1 but not Server 2.
- You get an RPC error while adding Domain B's user on Server 2.
Is Domain B on the other end of some firewall?
- Can you do a portqry to a DC in Domain B from Server 2 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17148)
- Run this command: portqry -n <DomainBFQDN> -p both -o 53,135,389,3268
- We are testing DNS, RPC, LDAP and GC. Do you see anything come back as filtered or not listening?
- Do the same thing from Server 1 and compare the results.
This sounds like a connectivity problem.

Pros and cons in setting AD domain trust into my AD domain for more than 10+ AD domain and some with same FQDN or label ?

Hi,
Can someone please share what is the pros and Cons of trusting AD domain for more than 10 different AD sites into my existing single domain forest let say ParentCompany.com ?
At the moment I only have one single forest AD domain with the Domain and Forest functionality Windows Server 2003. The main domain controller FSMO role holder is in the Data Center spread across three different VMs running on Windows Server 2008 R2.
The main/parent company has acquired smaller business chain of 15+ offices in which they have their own Domain Controller and also their own domain, sometimes they also got the same AD domain between them (no trust or whatsoever in those 15+ AD domain).
Sounds crazy but yes, there is no standardization in them or whoever manage their IT infrastructure previously.
I'm now considering what are the benefits of creating the AD domain and trust versus importing those AD objects into my domain and then decommission them.
No need to worry about Exchange Server since all of the user in those sites connecting to the RDS to my ParentCompany.com terminal servers.
My requirements or goal are as follows:
1. Simplify the AD domain structure & maintenance
2. Try to avoid the disruptions of the user in terms of downtime and selecting multiple different domain everytime they login to their PC or SharePoint sites.
any kind of help and suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Can someone please share what is the pros and Cons of trusting AD domain for more than 10 different
AD sites into my existing single domain forest let say ParentCompany.com ?
I think you mean 10 AD domains.
Managing multiple domains can be difficult for administration. I usually recommend using a single domain in a single forest with OUs to separate resources whenever it is possible.
However, if you can't do that then you can simply create trust relationships between your domains. The advantage is that you can enable access to resources to different domains. I do not see cons here.
The main/parent company has acquired smaller business chain of 15+ offices in which they have
their own Domain Controller and also their own domain, sometimes they also got the same AD domain between them (no trust or whatsoever in those 15+ AD domain). Sounds crazy but yes, there is no standardization in them or whoever manage their IT infrastructure
previously.
I'm now considering what are the benefits of creating the AD domain and trust versus importing those
AD objects into my domain and then decommission them.
I would recommend consolidating your domains into a single one. ADMT is a migration tool that you can use. The advantage would be the ease of administration. Also, by having multiple DCs for the same domain across sites, you will take benefit of High Availability
of your and DRP.

How to copy existing query report into new query report in SQ00

Hi Experts ,
I solved issue by changing infoset in SQ02 by means of assigning field to field group and changed the query in SQ00.
