  • Backup active directory server in hyper-v (copying vhdx)

    We want to add 2nd AD in our network(about 45+ user) and thinking putting it in a hyper-v server. Just wondering if the hyper-v host are die is it possible to copy the vdhx of the 2nd AD and move it into another host to run. Have anyone have any experience
    on it , thanks? 

    Hi Sir,
    >> Just wondering if the hyper-v host are die is it possible to copy the vdhx of the 2nd AD and move it into another host to run.
    Yes ,you can copy the VHDX file to another hyper-v host then create new VM attach this VHDX .
    After the new VM starts-up , If the VM's IP is configured to static in original hyper-v host  then you may need to delete the original NIC information ,please refer to following registry path (delete the NIC under Interfaces which has the
    old static IP address ):
    Then you can configure original IP address for the new virtual machine .

    what i wanted to know is if  my primary AD goes down??? what changes i need to do my users pc since they are  using primary DNS of of primary AD IP.. i am confused i want to know what need to be done if AD goes Down

    > shall i update my DHCP configuration to assign primary DNS as
    > 192.168.1.225 and secondary DNS as 192.168.3.245 and other DNS as
    > 8.8.8.8 etc.
    Yes. and you shall NOT deploy 8.8.8.8 as a DNS server to your clients,
    but you shall configure this as a forwarder on your DNS servers.

  • Directory Server 6.2 - Possible Database Corruption

    We have become aware of a bug in Directory Server 6.2 only that could cause database corruption. We have a hotfix for this issue, and if you are running Directory Server 6.2 and run into this problem then you should contact Sun Support and ask for the fix for the following bug
    6642430: DB corruption (zero’d pages) when performing db2ldif against large 20GB ldif file.
    The sunsolve record for this bug can be found at [http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-1-6642430-1].
    NOTE: This issue does not affect Directory Server 6.0 or 6.1 release so you only need this fix if you are running Directory Server 6.2.
    After you have the hotfix for this issue on Directory Server 6.2 and have applied the hotfix, then you will have to re-initialize the database from an LDIF backup to fully correct the corruption issue. Simply applying the hotfix will not fix the database if the database is already corrupted. Database corruption can be present though not detected with data in binary formats. You must therefore rebuild the database by importing an LDIF backup.
    Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.2 is no longer available for download and Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3, which includes a fix for this issue, will be available for download early April. When upgrading to Directory Server 6.3 from 6.2 (not needed if you are on 6.0 or 6.1), make sure you export the database (db2ldif) prior to the upgrade and then re-import the database after the upgrade to fully re-initialize the database and to ensure that no corruption issues remain.
    Recommended patch or upgrade procedures:
    <ol><li>     Shut down each directory server instance, as described in [Starting, Stopping, and Restarting a Directory Server Instance|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2491/6ne3dhd8u?a=view#bcaan].
    </li>
    <li>     Perform an LDIF export of the database, as described in [Backing Up to LDIF|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2491/6ne3dhdio?a=view#ganwh].
    </li>
    <li>     Install the [hotfix for bug 6642430|http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-1-6642430-1] on Directory Server 6.2, or upgrade your Directory Server 6.2 instance to Directory Server 6.3 once Directory Server 6.3 is available for download (early April). You will need to login to Sunsolve in order to
         see this bug description.
    </li>
    <li>     Re-initialize the database from the LDIF exported in step 2, as described in [Importing Data From an LDIF File|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2491/6ne3dhdj4?a=view#ganwc].
         If you are running replicated instances of Directory Server, make sure you read [Restoring Replicated Suffixes|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2491/6ne3dhdjc?a=view#bcajf] as well.
    </li>

    The entry was not imported most likely because it's parent isn't in the database yet. Are entries above this in another backend ? If so try importing that backend first. Also, that dn is so long, that it exhausted the buffer which is used to write messages in the access log. This is why, there's nothing after "which".
    What is the exact reason why a export and import is necessary? Or is it only necessary if
    the database is already corrupt? Is there a way to check that?The database corruption could be silent. So a binary backup/restore when going from 6.2 to 6.3 is not recommended and the LDIF route must be used.

  • Backup of Sun ONE Directory Server 5.2

    Hello,
    I am new to Sun ONE Directory server and I installed a copy of version 5.2 on Windows 2000 server and want to ask for your help that how could I backup the LDAP server?
    Since there is tool for backup of data but how could I recover if the server instance is failed?
    Thanks in advanced.
    Pat

    Hi Pat,
    If you are new to the Directory Server, then it is recommended to study the documentation ;-).
    Chapter 4 of the Administrators Guide discusses the backup and restore procedures.
    See: http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6698-10/populate.html
    If you cannot start the directory server because the database is corrupted, then you may want to use the off-line restore tools (e.g. bak2db).
    Before you do anything, study the above chapter.

  • Howto config  Backup Directory Server.

    Now I have primary ids 5.0. I install a backup ids and replicate netscaperoot db. But after i start backup ids console. Host name of ids server in the Admin console change to primary ids and cannot start Directory Server Console.
    how to config this solution corectly?

    Can you describe in detail what you have done? do you have any instance of directory server running besides o=netscaperoot instance??
    If you are trying to configure replication to your backup DS you should not be having any issues.
    can you privide errors you might be seeing in admin servers error logs and access logs and also any other error messages.

  • Backup / Journaling function for IPlanet Directory Server?

    Hi,
    does the iPlanet Directory Server provide a journaling function (logging and restore possibility of all changes made between two backups) ?
    I can�t find anything in the docs, but I somehow can�t image that this feature is not supported ...

    Hi
    It's easy enough to 'connect' any version of OS X Server to any other version of OS X Server. Use the Join button in the Users & Groups Preferences Pane. Alternatively use the Directory Utility itself.
    You seem to be misunderstanding what an Open Directory Master and Replica are? They are not what I think you think they are. They are not a 'back-up' of each other if you're providing more than the shared Directory Service.
    An OD Replica maintains a read-only copy of the LDAP Database (Usernames, Passwords and Policies etc) that's stored on the OD Master and nothing more. If the Master was to go offline for any reason the Replica can be quickly promoted to a Master Role and continue to provide information for the shared directory. This assumes it has easy and quick access to the Volume storing networked home folders? The LDAP Database in that case would then become writable. Later on and whenever you've fixed the problem with the old Master it can quickly be demoted and made a Replica of the now new Master.
    Although this is for 10.6 Server (it is nevertheless still applicable) everything you need to know about Master and Replica relationships is here:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/OpenDirAdmin_v10.6.pdf
    Page 55 onwards.
    From Page 64:
    "The Open Directory master and its replicas must use the same version of Mac OS X Server. . ."
    If your OD Master is also providing Mail, Calendar and Contact Services then none of these will be replicated. You will have to maintain a backup of these databases yourself using whatever method you deem fit for your needs.
    HTH?

  • Open directory server crashing every 30 days / clients unable to connect to calendar, contacts server

    Hello everyone,
    I am running an up to date Mavericks Server which serves exclusively as a calendar and contacts server for about two dozens devices. The server is reachable via DynDNS, however, the public IP hardly ever changes (only once or twice a year maybe). Tried setting the OS X DNS Server to serve "all clients" and "some clients".
    For about 6 months (i.e. also under Mountain Lion), I am having a very strange problem. Roughly every 20-30 days, clients will not be able to connect to the server, instead getting a "wrong password" dialog. Restarting the open directory server will help for the next 30 days.
    I have tried repairing the database as detailed here, however, the issue persists.
    Any help would be highly appreciated!
    I would have tried setting up a clean server installation, migrating calendars/contacts manually and re-adding all users by hand, however, I am not aware of an easy way to do so. The terminal command for calendar backup is broken under mavericks (might work with this workaround) and re-adding users manually would apparently involve correcting user UUIDs afterwards in order to match the migrated calendar data. Do you know of a better approach?
    Thanks a lot!

  • An error occurred while configuring server as a directory server.  Please check your network configuration and try again.

    Hi there,
    My Mac OS X Server 8.2 got buggered after I did the following steps:
    Wiped Profile manager using "/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/share/devicemgr/backend/wipeD B.sh"
    Clicking the Off button in the Profile Manager section of the Server.app
    Clicking the On button of the same
    Clicking on asks if I want to create a new directory master, but I know that one already exists.  Trying to continue confirms this.  So, I go and destroy it to start again, but afterward, I get the following error when trying to create the directory master:
    I've done this enough times while watching the system log to see the actual error thrown, which is:
    Nov 12 22:01:24 srv.domain.com Server[279]: An error occurred while configuring srv as a directory server:
        Error Domain=XSActionErrorDomain Code=-1 "A child action failed" UserInfo=0x7fee9516c0f0 {XSActionErrorActionsKey=(
            "Creating Open Directory master"
        ), NSLocalizedDescription=A child action failed}
    I have Googled the above and have discovered only a few entries here in these Apple communities, but have found no joy.
    Here's a similar threads: 
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19237429#19237429
    Interestingly/confusingly, this server has been working just fine as a domain master using different domain names (on separate occasions/setups).  It was only after having clicked the OFF button in Profile Manager (after a wipe) that things stopped working.
    I could rebuild this server, as I have a backup image of it that I can restore, but I'd rather find out what's broken and fix it so as to hopefully be able to fix it if/when this ever happens to me again, learning something in the process.
    That said, I perform the following steps prior to running the Open Directory setup on a the server to try and clean it up as best possible.
    Clean up steps:
    Delete the DNS zone (and all entries).
    Turn off all server services
    Delete all file server sharepoints
    Change the host name at Hardware => SRV => Network tab.  This runs the Change Host Name program.
    Close Server.app
    Throw Server.app in the trash / Empty trash (I've also just trashed and put back with same result)
    Delete the /Library/Server directory
    Clear and recreate System keychain using "systemkeychain -vfcC" to clear out all the certs related to old host name.
    Delete all the entries in the Login keychain
    Reboot (probably don't have to)
    Re-download and install Server.app
    Run Server.app, which actually retains some settings from the last setup, though I don't know where to clean those.
    After Server setup, confirm that the host name from step 4 is what I want.
    Running "changeip -checkhostname" shows "Success".  I'm using an Internet domain name so pinging the "internal" zone (srv.domain.com) resolves with the correct internal IP, and pinging the "external" zone resolves to the correct external address on the Internet.
    It would seem like I'm all good to go, but when I try to turn on Open Directory and go through the setup prompts, I get the same "Confirm Settings" error as above.
    The *only* way that I've come close to "fixing" this is to cancel out of the Profile Manager.  Then, go destroy the open directory that already exists.  Then create the domain via the Profile Manager enabling process.  At present, this only seems work to for a "private" domain.  Neither of the two Internet domain names that I've used successfully in the past work with this (or any) method. 
    Any advice or clues you can throw my way would be most appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Kim

  • Active Directory server is not available

    i have just setup and started testing a new exchange 2007 on my network. we did not have a exchange before, so this is a new install.
    my domain, xxx.com is a windows 2000 native AD. the exchange 2007 is a win 2003 sp1 x64, it is also a DC and has all roles assigned to it
    in my network i have
    dc01 win2000 sp4  dc (gc)
    dc02 win2000 sp4 dc (gc)
    exch01 win 2003 sp1 dc, rid, pdc, fmso, gc, infrastucture and naming
    the install went well, and i have been testing it for the past 2 weeks this dummy accounts. test smtp connectors, etc. all was working fine. to the point that i have started planing the migration of the users
     today i did some mods to IIS for a owa free SSL from startcom (as well as the root CAs). i have remove it since.
    i now get the following errors when i start the console, or shell. :

    Any ideas??
    Thanks
    Paul Gartner
    (over all i like what i have been seeing in ex2007) 

    i think that you might be confusing "AD user account" and "profile". you DO NOT delete administrator from your AD Users and Computers. you only delete the Profile (\documents and settings\administrator folder). you can NOT do this while you are logged on using the administrator account.
    be sure to backup any data in your my documents and any favorites
    create another user that is in the domain admin group of your active directory, log on with that account and verify that the exchange tools works. then follow this to remove the profile.
    >1). Logon the Exchange server by using another admin account.
    >2). Open Control Panel, select System.
    >3). Select Advanced tab and click the Settings button of User Profile.
    >4). Delete the Profile of user which encounters this issue.
    >5). Click OK.
    >6). Restart the server and logon it by using Administrator account.

    once this is done, logon with your administrator account and try the tools again, they should work.tn

  • Directory Server 6.2 upgrade to 6.3: import LDIF problem

    Hi all,
    I have tried upgrading my Directory Server 6.2 to version 6.3 because of the database integrity issues as stated in:
    http://blogs.sun.com/dsee/entry/directory_server_6_2_database
    I have followed the steps defined in this article:
    1. Shut down each directory server instance, as described in Starting, Stopping, and Restarting a Directory Server Instance.
    2. Perform an LDIF export of the database, as described in Backing Up to LDIF.
    3. Install the hotfix for bug 6642430 on Directory Server 6.2, or upgrade your Directory Server 6.2 instance to Directory Server 6.3 once Directory Server 6.3 is available for download (early April). You will need to login to Sunsolve in order to see this bug description.
    But when importing the LDIF export, I got the following error:
    [17/Dec/2008:14:44:08 +0100] - import ec: WARNING: Skipping entry "sunPortalAdminPortalDomainPortalServerInstanceMonitoringID=Monitoring,sunPortalAdminPortalDomainPortalServerInstanceID=sol10portal-80,sunPortalAdminPortalDomainPortalID=portal1,sunPortalAdminPortalDomainID=defaultDomain,o=example" whichIt's the only information I get about why the entry was skipped (I did not forget to copy the part after 'which', there was no information there :-))
    This resulted in a missing Portal instance configuration and thus I got a 'configuration error' when surfing through the gateway to the portal.
    I have also tried: manually importing that entry, which resulted in a 'Object does not exist' error. I have tried copying the whole tree from another backup with identical setup, which wasn't working either.
    Did anyone experience the same problems before? Did I do something wrong or is there a workaround for this?
    Second question: What is the exact reason why a export and import is necessary? Or is it only necessary if the database is already corrupt? Is there a way to check that?
    Thanks alot!
    Sten

    The entry was not imported most likely because it's parent isn't in the database yet. Are entries above this in another backend ? If so try importing that backend first.

  • Unable to Start/Stop Directory server from console

    We have two Directory Server 5.2 installations with both running as masters with replication between them. One of them was installed with the admin server and the other without. On the one that was installed without the admin server we added it afterwards.
    We now find that on the one that had the admin server installed after the directory server that we cannot start/stop the directory server from the server console nor can we view or access backups or logs from the console. The system does however create the log and backup files and we can start/stop it from the command line.
    I read in a post somewhere that the admin server can be created with a different user from the directory server or with the same username but a different domain and wondered if that was the problem but have looked through the configuration files on both machines and haven't managed to spot a discrepancy.
    Does anyone have any ideas where and what to check?
    Thanks in advance.
    Peter

    Ah, I wouldn't have recognized this scenario if you didn't report the scrozzled user name. The "access denied" error happens for the simple reason that 'IAyjcJlYKL' is not a valid user in your domain. Fancy that. If you look in your config.xml for the "node-manager-username" element, you may find the value is encrypted, and probably is 'IAyjcJlYKL'.
    It might be best if you filed a support case for this. I can make some guesses about what you should do, but it's just a guess. In any case, if you try fixing something, make a backup of the file first.
    The two things you can try doing are (backup the files and shut down everything first):
    * Edit the nm_password.properties file, replacing the one "hashed" line with two lines, setting the "username" property and the "password" property, both in cleartext. When the nodemanager starts up, it will replace those two lines with the "hashed" value.
    * Edit the config.xml file, replacing the values in the "node-manager-username" and "node-manager-password-encrypted" elements with their cleartext versions.
    Then start up the nodemanager and server.
    I'm familiar with this because I saw this happen, and I'm trying to remember the strange thing we had to do. I worked this out with BEA support a while ago. If it helps, my case number was #796710.

  • Active Directory - Server 2008 R2 and 2012 R2 (Server Formatting or not productive

    Hello guys, I come here to try to clarify a great doubts regarding Server Operating Systems, I will attempt to detail the most of my scenario.
    Suppose I have a Server 2008 R2 in production, and this is my Active Directory server (meudominio.local) and am managing through Group Policy settings my workstations that are around 60-70 computers, guys my doubts the thing is, if I need some time to format
    and perform a fresh installation of my server as it will be my Active Directory? Of course I will have lost my domain controller and I have to accomplish the placement of each workstation again that enters my domain one by one.
    I know there is the option of AD replication, so we call the Active Directory, even for another version of the Operating System, prátia already realized this, but it most often comes not functioning properly, done without replication problems Server 2003 to
    2008 R2.
    Guys like to know a solution to not having to put my plants in my domain network again one by one, is there any way to backup so that when I reinstalled the system and the AD again in my server stations return to "see" again that server as your domain
    controller, even me installing AD with the same domain name before this formatting stations do not respond to this driver in this case do the Network ID or add the station to the area again, so she creates a new user profile for example (Max.meudominio) while
    your old profile "guy" still remains on the machine, I adopted the practice of editing the record of this newly created profile and pointing him well for the old user folder which contains all data and settings, eg edit my key "ProfileImagePath"
    regedit logged in with the newly created profile (Max.meudominio) ->
    (switch "ProfileImagePath" C:\Users\Max.meudominio) thus pointing to the folder before replacing in the field again this season after formatted server, thus ->
    (Switch "ProfileImagePath" C:\Users\Max), detail that we give permission for all such user "C:\Users\Max" folder, after that restart the computer and he comes back with the user profile and all your settings.
    I wonder if there is another method to perform this procedure, do not know even a backup AD to not have to replace all the seasons again "meudominio.local".
    Thank you for your attention!

    As the practice of replication I know her mostly said she has some flaws when I do the replication of my domain to another server but it works correctly, so having a server "master" and the other ServidorBKP as "slave", in redundancy,
    the problem is when I say, and put the "ServidorBKP" being my primary domain controller and disabling my main controller, to disable or turn off my main controller the stations themselves are unable to login because it does not communicate with the
    my ServidorBKP "slave" even I put it as the main driver of course.
    Regarding the System State as far as I know this option existed in Server 2003.
    I also got some information, confer on the links below.

  • Migrating Netscape Directory Server 4.1 to a new server

    Hi,
    In the current production environment, we are using Netscape Directory Server 4.1 as the authentication with Siebel CRM system. The server hardware is old and there is a need to refresh the server. As Netscape Directory Server is the only supported/ certified LDAP with embedded functionalities in Siebel Financial Services 6.0.2.300, we are planning to upgrade only the server hardware and migrate all the user information from old server and the new one, with Netscape Directory Server 4.1 remained.
    I have studied the Netscape Directory Server 4.1 Deployment Guide and gone through the migration procedures, looks like the procedures are only applicable for migrating Netscape Directory Server to a newer version. There are no specific procedures mentioned for migrating Netscape Directory Server to the new server hardware with the same directory server version.
    I am seeking for detailed procedures of migrating Netscape Directory Server 4.1 to a new server hardware with the same directory server. Anyone has done this migration before? I thank you in advance for your valuable feedback.
    Sincerely,
    Julie

    Luckily, I have the technical documentation in hand, which contains all the configuration of the current server. So I need to use "db2ldif" to export the data. I am currently testing on the migration by following these steps:
    1. Install the new server.
    2. Stop the Netscape Directory Server and Netscape Administration Server services in old server.
    3. Copy the slapd-<server_name> folder from old server to a temp location of new server.
    4. Take the old server offline.
    5. Configure new server to have the exact configuration as the old server.
    6. Backup the existing slapd-<server_name> folder in new server, copy the slapd-<server_name> folder from the temp location to C:\Netscape\Server4 directory of new server.
    7. Start the Netscape Directory Server and Netscape Administration Server services in new server.
    Will try out your suggested method. Thank you so much for your feedback.
    Regards,
    Julie
