ADprep failure promoting 2012 server to DC on 2003 domain

Run repadmin /syncall and see if you get errors. If you do not get any run adprep again.

Hello: I am new and I hope I am posting this in the right place:
I promoting a 2012 R2 server to DC in a 2003 domain. The account I am using is the Domain Admin, Schema Admin, Enterprise Admin.
Here's the error:
Adprep failed to verify whether schema master has completed a replication cycle after last reboot
Server extended error : 8344 server extended message: 00002098
Error code: 0x32. Server extended error code: 0x2098, server error message 00002098: secerr: dsid-03151d7d, problem 4003 (insuff_access_rights). Data 0

  • New 2012 server in a mixed 2003 and 2008 domain (in process of upgrading)

    We are replacing a Windows Server 2003 machine which crashed and is gone, with a Windows Server 2012 Standard machine.  The old 2003 Server was a domain controller running along side one other 2003 server (which is getting replaced next) and
    3  Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard x64 domain controllers which up and running.  When trying to add the Windows Server 2012 Standard server as a domain controller to an existing domain, we are getting the following error:
    Verification of replica failed.  The forest functional level is Windows 2000.  To install a Windows Server 2012 domain or domain controller, the forest functional level must be at Windows Server 2003 or higher.
    However, the domain was already brought up to at least the 2003 level when we added the current live 2008 domain controller (Windows Server 2008) several years ago.  When I now try to run Adprep on the Windows Server 2008 (adprep from the 2008
    install CD) I get the following responses:
    Command:  adprep /forestprep
    Response:  Forest-wide information has already been updated.  [Status/Consequence] Adprep did not attempt to rerun this operation.
    Command:  adprep /domainprep /gpprep
    Response:  Domain-wide information has already been updated.  [Status/Consequence] Adprep did not attempt to rerun this operation.
    I have gone to Active Directory Domains and Trusts on all of the other servers and each one is at a Windows Server 2003 Functional level and states that I can not raise the level because I have AD Dc's that are not running the appropriate version of
    windows. And I get that due to the remaining 2003 server, but none are at Server 2000 level.
    So it seems we have a conflict where the 2012 server thinks the domain is at the Windows 2000 level. Is there any way around this, or a way to find out where the conflict is coming from?
    Thank you
    Kevin C

    Please proceed like the following:
    Run netdom query fsmo to identify the current FSMO holders. It seems that the old DC was holding FSMO roles. If this is the case then seize them to another DC: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/255504
    Do a metadata cleanup to remove the old DC reference: Use dsa.msc
    and then remove the old DC computer account. Also, use dssite.msc
    and remove the NTDS settings of the old DC then remove its references over there
    After doing this, check again and try to raise the DFL and FFL. Do not forget to check that your DCs and AD replication are in healthy state using
    dcdiag and repadmin commands.

  • Promote 2012 R2 in a 2008 R2 domain

    My shop is all 2008 R2 domain controllers and all workstations are win7 x64 so my question is simple I want to promote a 2012 R2 server to a DC (later this year we are buying win 8.1 workstations and thought that a 2012 R2 DC would make sense) has anyone
    ran into any gotchas or issues by doing this?
    MSB

    Tim is correct. You can add 2012 R2 DCs to a 2008 R2 domain, they will simply run at the lower functional level. My question would be is this necessary? There is no reason to upgrade the domain in order to support the new clients. The biggest concern I can
    think of is the new Group Policy administrative templates for Win 8.1, but those are easily added to the central store in the domain by copying them from the new clients.
    My general thinking about upgrading the domain is that it should only be done if there is an express need at the domain level. As Tim mentioned, some applications may not function at a higher level. Upgrading a client OS is not a reason to upgrade the domain.

  • How to completely remove an Exchange 5.5 Server from a Windows 2003 domain?

    I have recently inherited an environment that had a legacy Exchange 5.5 server in it.    I have migrated all mailboxes over to Office365, so there is no need for the Exchange Server anymore, but I don't have the Exchange 5.5 install media
    to perform the uninstall from the domain.
    Is there a way to manually remove the Exchange Server off the domain, and remove all its AD objects?

    I just realized that this Exchange 5.5 Server is running on Windows 2000 Server, with an Active Directory Connector installed tying it to a single Windows 2003 Standard Active Directory Server.   Therefore the Exchange Server shows up in Sites
    and Services as an AD server within my single site and forest.   This is also keeping my AD forest level at a Windows 2000 level, rather than at Windows 2003 native.
    If I simply uninstall the ADC from the Windows 2000 Server running Exchange 5.5, will that remove the server from the Sites and Services and allow me to promote the Forest Functional Level to Windows 2003, so that I can then migrate the entire AD domain
    up to 2012 functional levels in the near future?

  • Server 2012 std not able to see Domain, DC and DNS on Win SBS 2008 std Domain

    Hi There
    I have a HP ML 110 G5 SBS 2008 std server as my DC on my network. I recently added a HP Microserver running Server 2012 std (with no roles or features installed) to act solely as a file server for a 3rd party program as the program was not running efficiently
    on the main server.
    The problem I am having now is that the 2012 server keeps falling off the domain and cannot contact DNS server. I have also had to re-enable remote desktop several times. It also shows the 2012 Server as being on a private firewall profile and not on the
    domain firewall profile but I suspect that this is part of the same problem. 
    the resulting problem that this is causing is that the local machines that need to contact an SQL database on the 2012 fileserver intermittently either time out or are very slow to connect.  
    So far I have tried: 
    Switching from Static IP to DHCP. 
    Re-adding the server to the domain. 
    Stopping and restarting DNS services on the DC.
    Checking physical Network connections and routing.
    Putting the 2012 server into the same Organizational Unit as the 2008 DC. 
    Has anyone else encountered this problem when adding a 2012 server to a 2008 domain?  I have a feeling that the solution is probably something simple that I've overlooked, but I can't think what.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
    Regards
    Russ

  • Upgrading windows server 2003 domain controller to windows server 2008

    Hello friedns :
    We have a company with about 2000 users , and two windows server 2003 domain controllers , one of them acts as a primary domain controller , and the other acts as secondary domain controller , all the FSMO s are on the primary DC ,we have decided to upgrade all of our servers from windows server 2003 to windows server 2008 , the first step is to upgrade the domain controllers to windows server 2008 , our domain controllers are so sensitive and has to be active 24 hours a day , i have stress upgrading it to windows server 2008 , what is the best solution to upgrade it with no risk ?
    ( i have an opinion but i am not sure and i dont have any guide about it , i want to install a windows server 2008 and promote it as an additional domain controller to the windows server 2003 DC and the transfer all the FSMOs to it , and then promote the first domain controller !!! is that possible ? if yes , is there any guide about it? )
    If there is a guide available for it please let me know . (Specially if there is a tip & trick)
    thank you guys.
    Network is my LOVE

    Hi,
    This TechNet online article might be helpful for you.
    How to Upgrade Domain Controllers to Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee522994(WS.10).aspx
    For your convenience, I have list some general steps for your reference.
    Since the following operation have potential damage to Active Directory database, it is highly suggested that you'd better perform a full backup of Active Directory (System State) firstly. Also it is better to test the following procedure in a similar lab environment first.
    General Steps:
    =============
    1. Verify the new server's TCP/IP configuration has been pointed to the current DNS server.
    2. Make the new server become a member server of the current Windows Server 2003 domain first.
    3. Upgrade the Windows Server 2003 forest schema to Windows Server 2008 schema with the "adprep /forestprep" command on old server.
    Please run the "adprep.exe /forestprep" command from the Windows Server 2008 installation disk on the schema master. To do this, insert the Windows Server 2008 installation disk, and then type the following command:
    Drive:\sources\ADPREP\adprep.exe /forestprep
    4. Upgrade the Windows 2003 domain schema with the "adprep /domainprep" command on old server.
    Please run the "adprep.exe /domainprep" command from the Windows Server 2008 installation disk on the infrastructure master. To do this, insert the Windows Server 2008 installation disk, and then type the following command:
    Drive:\sources\ADPREP \adprep.exe /domainprep
    5. Insert Windows Server 2008 Installation Disc in the new server.
    6. Run "dcpromo" on new server to promote it as an additional domain controller in existing Windows 2003 domain, afterwards you may verify the installation of Active Directory.
    Please refer to:
    How to Verify an Active Directory Installation in Windows Server 2003
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816106
    7. Verify the new server's TCP/IP configuration has been pointed to current DNS server.
    8. Enable Global Catalog on new server and manually Check Replication Topology and afterwards manually trigger replication (Replicate Now) to synchronize Active Directory database between 2 replicas.
    Please note: It will some time to replicate GC between DC, please wait some time with patience.
    9. Disable Global Catalog on the old DC.
    10. Transfer all the FSMO roles from the old DC to the new DC.
    Please refer to:
    How to view and transfer FSMO roles in Windows Server 2003
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324801
    11. Verify that the old DNS Server Zone type is Active Directory-Integrated. If not, please refer to:
    How To: Convert DNS Primary Server to Active Directory Integrated
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816101
    Note: Active Directory Integrated-Zone is available only if DNS server is a domain controller.
    12. Install DNS component on new server and configure it as a new DNS Server (Active Directory Integrated-Zone is preferred). All the DNS configuration should be replicated to the new DNS server with Active Directory Replication.
    13. Make all the clients change TCP/IP configuration to point to new server as DNS.
    14. You may configure TCP/IP on all the clients, or adjust DHCP scope settings to make them use the new DNS server.
    Please note: It is a good practice to make the old DC offline for several days and check whether everything works normally with the new server online. If so, you may let the old DC online and run DCPROMO to demote it.
    Hope it helps.

  • Having trouble promoting a server to a Child Domain Controller

    Hello,
    I am having promoting a 2012 server that's already a member of a domain to a child domain controller.  All of the prereq's are met.  When I try to promote it, it shows the steps being processed.  When it begins to replicate the parent domain's
    database, it runs all night and never completes.  Any Idea what's going on?

  • Hyper-V host fails with "RPC Server unavailable" error when I try to promote Windows Server in virtual machine to a domain controller

    Host: Windows Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V and RRAS (for Internet over NAT)
    VM: Windows Server 2012 R2 with installed Active Directory Domain Services
    When I open AD DS configuration window (“promote this server to a domain controller”) many services and programs on my host (include Hyper-V, RRAS & Server Manager) fails with RPC Server unavailable error.

    Hello Aleksandr,
    There wasn't any configuration information, ipconfig /all, network setup, etc. So it's difficult to tell.
    More importantly, are you trying to promote the host server? If yes, that is not advised, for one, because it's a Hyper-V server, (not suggested at all), and two, RRAS is installed. RRAS is problematic with any domain controller because it turns it into
    a multihomed domain controller.
    Active Directory communication fails on multihomed domain controllers
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272294/
    Multihomed DCs (with more than one unteamed NIC or multiple IPs) with DNS, RRAS, iSCSI, Clustering interfaces, management interfaces, backup interfaces, and/or PPPoE adapters - A multihomed DC is not a recommended configuration, however there are ways to
    configure a DC with registry mods:

    7 Reasons not to Make Hyper-V a Domain Controller
    http://www.altaro.com/hyper-v/reasons-not-to-make-hyper-v-a-domain-controller/
    Domain Controller as Hyper-V host

    Networking?
    I don't know how your networking is setup, whether there are multiple NICs on the host server, if they are teamed, if you have the host interface set to allow the operating system to share administration, or if there are separate interfaces for each. Can
    the host OS ping/communicate with the DC virtual machine?
    If there are more than one NIC, you have the choice to team the NICs and share the Teamed NICs for the Hyper-V OS and the VMs, or keep them separate where one is devoted for the Hyper-V OS, and one for the VMs.

    Recommendation:
    Why not just create another VM DC?

  • Install Remote Desktop Services Failed on Windows 2012 Server

    I understand RDS is not recommended on DC due to security consideration.  However since I want to play it at home, it is not much a concern.  Such scenario works fine on Windows 2008 R2.  But on Windows 2012, the RDS (session-based, have not
    tried VDI, but expect same result) installation always fails and is incomplete on DC. 
    In \Administrative Tools\Terminal Services, I only have RD Licensing Diagnoser and RD licensing manager.  The remote desktop service management service cannot be started (Error code: 0x88250001).  Is there any extra configuration needed for RDS
    working on Server 2012 DC or before the installation?  Thanks.
    Update: this issue has been solved in Windows 2012 R2 Server.  According to
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2013/07/09/what-s-new-in-remote-desktop-services-for-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
    "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."
    The guidelines (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2833839/en-us) primarily apply to Windows 2012 Server.

    Asinine.  Simply Asinine.  Microsoft took it out because of $GREED$.  
    RemoteDesktop has become so popular, they had to break it to make more money.  Thats why they discontinued SmallBusinessServer.   If this practice is so tabooo... Why did MS go the opposite direction with SBS 2011 Premium Cal's?  SBS2011
    had DC, Exchange, RDS and Sharepoint,SQL, RemoteWebWorkplace, OWA all working in perfect harmony.  It is an untrue statement then, that it was "allowed but not recommended"
    Now you by Server2012 (core + two virtual) and its not enough for all this. 
    You need at least another $700 for another sever licence to have it all
    and who knows if SQL will run on a DC, or Exchange, or R-DERP server.  Another reacherous bridge to cross.
    By far, the absloute worse release since Millennium.  The product is not ready for production, we broke our rule of waiting until the first SP1 upgrade for this and Exchange 2013.  Problems with USB drivers and networking running extreamly slow. 
    Our 2003 SBS server was at least three times as fast, and this server has SAS and SSD drives running.  It can't get out of its own way, and IE10 is the most unstable piece of crap to come out of Redmond.  Open wide and swallow - Mother Microsoft
    knows whats best for you.  YOU WILL EAT OUR SLOP AND LEARN TO LIKE IT.   Server2012 AKA  "METRO-SERVER"
    Now here I sit after 50 Hours back to back setting up a new R-DERP server 2012, AD, Have my RDP licences in my hand at $100 each, and WTH does Microsoft care if I install it on my DC.  ITS MY DC.  And the cost savings versus the "risk" was
    previously MY decision. 
    Sure, I can install a couple of Virtual HyperV sessions but they are so tempremental to a power-outage in a small business its not worth it.  I have to double up my server hard drive resources, buy a $800 battery backup unit and make sure to attach
    the cable, and even then, if that Bi**H does not shut down properly, one bit goes awry in a VHD or VHDX file and you are screwed.  Restore from lastnights backup and forget about todays work.  Not to mention it will probably take a half day to try
    to fix it, then recover it then tell the 30 users they lost a days worth of work. 
    HYPER-V is for test servers and has no place in a small (micro) business environment. 5-30 users. 
    Microsoft's solution, buy another server.  Need Exchange?  Buy another server or take the risky cheapskate route and spin up some VHD's.  Might as well put a gun to your head and play russian roulette, at least you know you have a one in six
    chance of failure.  With MS, its a 100% failure for a dirty shutdown power loss, motherboard blows, memory goes corrupt in a few years, your conventional method of recovery is gone, and you have some upchucked VHD file to try to recover some of TODAYS
    data from. 
    Screw server 2012 forever. 
    I will sell 2008 and SBS2011 Premium unitl it rots in hell like XP (of which there is NOTHING wrong with for the average, WORD, EXCEL, OUTLOOK and QUICKBOOKS that all SMB's use.  Its MS $GREED$  Grab the world by the B**ls and squeeze with all
    your might to squeeze every dime you can out of *SMB* because big business is going to run thier 2003 Exchange and 2008 servers into ground before they switch to this garbage. 
    YOU CANNOT INSTALL EXCHANGE 2013 on DC , OR on R-DERP server. 
    Go buy another server license and server or MOVE TO THE CLOUD and get fleeced every month. 
    I have 30 DC/R-DERP/Exchange and SBS2011 Premium servers all running for years in perfect harmony, locked down with security so the users can't even WIGGLE with something they are not supposed to work with.  They get their apps, cannot install anything
    and all these servers are running just fine behind the firewall and perfectly save.  The track record of this combination is 100% stable and is up 24/7/365 with no problems.  Do yourself a favor and throw this 2012 into the river, you don't need
    any weights because it is LEAD and will sink to the bottom by itself.
    Why, you ask?  Official is "Its for your protection"  The real reason?  To sell you more $700 server licences.
    Maybe for SMB, we start selling Linux NAS Servers, host the Exchange in the cloud and be hearded like cattle to the Microsoft slaughterhouse.  One way or another, you are going to bleed.    A little each month to move to the cloud, or
    a small fortune if you want to have it in house.  Microsoft wants it to be more expensive to have in house.  No more buying a server and running it for six years before you upgrade.  They can't have in house servers competing with their cloud,
    and small businesses are the low hanging fruit  ripe for the pickin'. 

  • Selecting a boot drive for Hyper-V 2012 server - is a boot drive performance important?

    I'm setting up a new Hyper-V 2012 server dedicated to virtualization and I'm trying to determine the best choice for the boot drive.
    I have 2x250gb SSD drives i'm considering for storage pools for VM's
    I have an old 80GB SATA drive
    I'm wondering how important the primary boot drive is in a Win 2012 Hyper-V setup. I can partition one of the SSD's to provide a boot partition, or I can just dedicate the 80GB SATA.
    What do you think would be a better choice?
    Edit: A more precise question, why not partition the SSD for boot? Is there any benefit for separating the disks for boot vs just the partition?
    Thanks,
    Deco

    Hello,
    I hope you are having a great day!
    What resources are available to you? If you have hardware RAID, it would be best to configure the SSD drives for RAID 1 (mirrored) and run everything from that. This will provide you fault tolerance in the case of a drive failure.
    If hardware RAID is not available to you, then definitely use the 80GB SATA drive as the OS Boot Drive, without a hardware RAID for the OS disks you will have a single point of failure no matter what disks you use. Yes with SATA drive the system will boot
    up slower :-( , but that is about the only negative.
    This will also enable you to leave the SSD's as RAW un-formatted disks which can then be configured in a Storage Pool with mirroring if you wish and then have the VHD's reside there.
    Absolutely, dedicate the SSD's for the placement of the Virtual Machines Config and Vhd/Vhdx Files.
    For absolute best performance results use VHDX Fixed disks for maximum performance.
    Dynamically expanding VHDX will have a minor almost unnoticeable performance hit (depending on the purpose of the VM) and help ensure that the amount of hard disk space the VHDX file is occupying is kept to a minimum. An example of degradation in performance
    would become noticeable if for instance, the VM is being used as a file repository and users are constantly uploading files.
    The bottom line is, if you don't have hardware RAID for the OS you always have a single point of failure, so hope for the best and keep great backups.

  • FRM-92101 there was a failure in form server during startup

    it comes for all the three instances in this particular server , so what is the problem , and where is the web log server present ,
    please give solutions ,

  • Promote this server to a domain controller still appears

    Hi All, I've change one DC 2003 with a new DC 2012 in my forest (I've 4 DC e 3 sites) following these steps:
    1 - Demote DC 2003
    2 - Remove DNS 2003 Role
    3 - Rename e change IP on Server 2003
    4 - Waiting and verify replica
    5 - Give the same Hostname and IP of Server 2003 to New DC 2012
    5 - Add Role AD Directory Service and when finished I use the notification "promote this server to a domain controller" to promote it to a member domain controller.
    6 - After reboot the notification STILL APPEARS, but it result as a DC and all work fine.
    Any help me?
    Thanks

    Hi Federico,
    Can you please confirm, whether you are seeing the notification as given in the below screenshot,
    This notification implies that “Active Directory Domain Services” role binaries have been installed and now it is time to promote the server to a Domain Controller.
    Checkout the below link on Step-by-Step Guide for Setting Up A Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller,

  • Access denied in Windows 2012 Server Manager after a period of time working without problems

    Hello,
    I had 2 servers with windows 2012 installed in a domain (dc is in a 3rd server) and both added to server manager of each other. Both servers had Failover cluster installed and configured roles. After startup in both servers i can see the other and manage
    it without problems (in server manager and failover cluster manages) but after a period of 30-40 minutes in both servers I see "Online - Data Retrieval failures Ocurred" for the partner server and "Online - Access Denied" for local server.
    When I access de Failure Cluster Manager I had errors accessing resources and roles and can´t failover the cluster.
    I removed the failover cluster thinking that could be the original problem, remove servers from domain, change names and add again to the domain without install failover cluster.
    Now, the servers have not the failover cluster feature and the problem persists. 30-40 minutes after boot the server manager show messages of inaccesible partner with same messages. I tried to execute powershell commands to add a new ip to the NIC and I
    receive a Access Denied Message and show Access Denied message in other events in log.
    I´m using Domain Administrator Account and tried different solutions but not solved. I saw that this message can occur in a variety of different scenarios, but i don´t know why works during a period of time before failing. It´s frustrating
    Regards
    EDITED: in detail of Online - Data retrieval failures i see that: Configuration refresh failed with the following error: The metadata failed to be retrieved from the server, due to the following error: The WS-Management service cannot process the request.
    The WMI provider returned an 'access denied' error.

    Hi PabloVDL,
    It seems is this two server has register the incorrect DNS, please try to add this server manage NIC IP to your manager hosts file or if possible trmpory disable the useless NIC DNS register. This issue also some times caused by when you installed
    the HP insignth management, if in your environment you have this tools please temporarily uninstall it.

  • 2008R2 Virtual machine shutting down unexpected on Hyper-V 2012 server

    I have a problem where one of my 2008 R2 virtual servers are shutting down unexpected every Friday at more or less the same time. This has happen 2 Fridays in a row now and the time is 13:01:30 and 13:01:10. I did some investigation on the event viewer and
    it tells me the following: (Error) The previous system shutdown at 01:01:10 PM on ‎2014/‎08/‎01 was unexpected.  Event ID: 6008 which I have goggled and did not find much on this ID?    I also found the following event more or less the same
    time as the first one: (Critical) The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. Event ID: 41.  In most posts it looks like if it could
    be hardware related? But how do I justify this on a virtual machine?
    Some Infrastructure background: It is a 2008 R2 virtual server running on 2012 Hyper-V, 2012 server. SCVMM is not configured so all administration is done through Hyper-V manager. The virtual machine is backup up by Symantec backup exec and the Full backup
    only start at 23:00pm night time. No scheduled shut-downs are configured and all servers are running on UPS power, the virtual server are also configured to boot up automatically after any failure. But in this case the server is completely shut-down and I
    have to manually start the server up again.
    I hope there are somebody who can give some guidance on my problem?
    Regards  
    Juan Krynie

    Hi Sam
    Thanks for the reply!
    Yes, all disk space is on the host, I have 2 hosts running Hyper V each with their own set of virtual servers, I am planning a cluster in the near future, but for now all disk space for all virtual server are on the host, there is more than enough disk space
    left on all drives. Please below output from command, I only posted first few lines as there are to many lines.
