Can I add a 2012 R2 server to a 2008 SP1 DFS?

I have a DFS system on a Server 2008Stnd SP1. I am adding a new VM Server 2012 R2 server at my data center. I want to add my 2012 server to the DFS and remove the 2008 server after it syncs. I will add a new 2012 server at my main site later. Can this
be done? Or can I add a new DFS using the 2012 server?

Yes you can.
You can add your Windows Server 2012 to current DFS replication group and remove the Windows Server 2008 after replication finished. However it is recommended to do a pre-staging instead of waiting for the initial replication as it will take a long time
if data size is large.
And creating new DFS namespace is also fine on that Windows 2012 system.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

Can I add windows 2012 R2 host to VMM 2008 R2?

We are running VMM 2008 R2 on Windows 2008 R2. When attempting to add a Windows 2012 R2 as host to VMM, I receive this message:

The VMM Server should never have the Hyper-V Role enabled.
The VMM 2008 can only be installed on 2012:

You need to look at the support matrix of the SCVMM version and the Hyper-V Server Version.

In this case it is beyond 'support' it is what actually will work.

Error -2147467259, can't add item to OPC Server

I am using a DataSocket connection to read/write through an OPC Server (GE SRTP) to PLC software (PME). Everything works fine on my 2 different development PC's in my office, both in .vi form, and executable. I have distributed my executable on our network, and 2 of the 4 PC's we use to test product work fine. The other 2 PC's have the same problem, error -2147467259, can't add item to OPC server. When the OPC Server is called by LabVIEW, it launches successfully, but immediatly shows the 'can't add item to OPC Server'. I believe that it has to do with the registry. I registered the opcproxy.dll, and it still fails. LabVIEW 7.1, Windows XP machines.
Thanks, Alan

For original thread.
I would like to echo Sam's inquiry about launching the OPC server outside of LabVIEW and verifying that it can be connected to. Also, under what user name is the OPC server being launched? Sometimes you can run into trouble if the user name is not the current user logged onto the system, but I haven't heard of it causing this error. You can see what user launched the service under Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Services. You can verify the default user running the application by going to Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Component Services and navigating to Component Services >> Computers >> My Computer >> DCOM Config Right click on your DCOM server and select Properties. Then go to the Identity tab and make sure The Interactive User is selected.

Why can you not introduce a 2003 server into a 2008 domain?

Hello,
So we are going to be upgrading our domain very shortly from 2003 to 2008 R2. I know that we are not able to have a 2003 server in the 2008 forest, but the question is why? I'm trying to find some information on Google but can't actually find the reason.
I have some ideas as to why, but I wanted some solid info, if possible.
Thank you!

In that case it depends on current functional level. If you're at 2008 or greater then you would not be able to bring in a 2003 DC.

IChat 4 - Can't add new buddy - The Server Refused

Hi,
I just managed to convince my fiancee to get a Mac on the basis that they just work (as they have in my experience in the past). But things keep going wrong since we got them! Here's the latest:
We both want to add a buddy to iChat. I try and it works fine. She tries and it tells her: The server refused the operation. I've tried deleting that contact from the address book, quitting address book and ichat and quitting the ichat agent process and then deleting all the iChat .plist files in Preferences. It still didn't work. The buddy appears for a few seconds and then vanishes again. So frustrating! And so weird that it happens to her and not me.
Any suggestions?
Thx

Well I tried everything in that thread before posting.
You may be interested to know how I finally resolved this issue: Up until now I have been trying to add the new buddy to the only group, 'Recent Buddies', which was pre-made for me. Just out of desperation I tried creating a new group (I simply called it 'Buddies'). I tried adding the new buddy to that group and it worked just like that.
I can't believe that it was something quite so simple and I can see absolutely no reason for it not working with the pre-made group, but there you have it. At least it's sorted now!

Can I add a third DHCP server to a WLAN interface?

I'm running a system that requires a third (and potentially fourth) DHCP server to be setup on each network in my network.
The first two devices are Windows DHCP servers serving IPs from different address ranges for failover. The third DHCP is just a listener to receive OS information and device names to be logged in a database.
Currently this works like a charm for my wired clients as I can add in the third and fourth ip helper-address on each vlan and the information is received by the listeners. However, I cannot find anywhere in my WLC5500 to setup these extra two DHCP helper addresses.
The wireless vlan on my layer 3 switch has all the ip helper-addresses, but this doesn't seem to work, and the devices just use the DHCP servers set on the interface in the WLC.
Is this possible?

You can disable dhcp proxy on the wlc (as long as the wlc is not doing dhcp). This way you can set your ip helpers on your L3 interface.

How can I add SCOM 2012 Alert Context within a SCOM Alert When using a cusom powershell script in a two state monitor?

Hello, we have a two state monitor and I would like to channel the Alert Context to Alert Description.
The powershell script being used to find the stopped services is pasted below:
$API = new-object -comObject "MOM.ScriptAPI"
$bag = $api.CreatePropertyBag()
$ServiceStatus = Get-WmiObject -class win32_service |where {$_.startmode -eq'Auto'-and $_.State -eq 'Stopped' -and
$_.name -ne 'wuauserv'}
if (!$ServiceStatus) #if there are no automatic services that are stopped, we are healthy.
write-host "good"
$bag.addvalue("State","good")
if ($servicestatus) #if there are any automatic services that are stopped, we are unhealthy.
write-host "bad"
$bag.addvalue("State","bad")
foreach ($service in $servicestatus) #enumerate the stopped services
$bag.addValue("$($Service.Name):","$($Service.state)")
$bag
$API.Return($BAG)
The results of the services that are stopped are being captured in the Alert Context”. How can I pipe the Alert Context to “Alert Description” to obtain a meaningful alert?
Alert Context data:
Property Name                              Property Value
State
bad
clr_optimization_v4.0.30319_32: Stopped
clr_optimization_v4.0.30319_64: Stopped
How can I pipe to Alert Description in SCOM 2012?
Thanks,
Kapil Dham
Kapil Dham

you don't need write-host
you should create
$bag.addvalue("ServiceName1","StateOK")
$bag.addvalue("ServiceName2","StateStopped")
and in alert description you will see
ServiceName1
StateOK
ServiceName2
StateStopped
So try $bag.addValue($Service.Name,$Service.state)
and $Data/Context/Property$

Can't add new users in Server Admin console in Server 10.1.4.

I've run into an issue with an older OS X Server 10.1.4 running on a G4 platform. It functions as a shared file repository and I need to add new users. However, it would appear that I've developed a problem.
When trying to add new users I get the following error:
An error occurred in the Users & Groups module in entry point "RACMMenuItemSelected".
A program error has occurred.
1004
Now, my best guess is it's a corruption somewhere. But, I don't want to go poking around the production server taking it down and up until I've got some idea where I'm going. Any suggestions on where my troubles might be? Or has anyone had this issue before, and how was it corrected? (Hopefully not by a full software reload.)
I'd like to replace/upgrade this server, but until there's money in the budget, that's just a dream, I need to try to figure out how to fix what's here.
Help, please?
PowerBook G4 17 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1.5G RAM

No answer was found for this issue. I've finally removed the server from production and will likely reformat and reinstall for use in other production areas. Hopefully we'll be upgrading the OS at the same time.

How to Delete SMTP Server on iPhone/Can't Add Additional Servers

How do you delete the primary SMTP server. I'm on 2.2.1 My outgoing mail is not working and I figured since I'm a Mobile Me user I'll change the SMTP setting on the iPhone.
I can't add a new smtp server. I go into account info for my Mobile Me and select SMTP. I can't see how to delete the primary server and when I try to add server I enter smtp.mac.com then my user name and password. I see 3 check marks after I press Save. I says it verified. But it never shows up on the list. I have secondary server but I can't figure out how to delete that one. Its the ATT smtp server cwmx. All that info is ghosted yet it's not on my desktop account.
If synced Mobile Me but nothing changes.
Confused and I can't find any help on Apples website.

I have the same problem.
Not sure, but I think the iPhone won't let you modify certain email settings of accounts created by syncing to your laptop or PC.
Delete the account on your iPhone and create it again manually (on the phone itself.)
This worked for me.

I would not do it... I mean hunting for Storage Server is pointless. For a reason: built-in restrictions make it unusable for anything else except storage management (what it was initially designed for).
(there are other important restrictions like being not able to be an Active Directory controller but they are irrelevant in the context of this topic)
Running more then 2 VMs is not supported. Having full-blown x64 server doing only storage and spending 1% of CPU time for that is... a bit questionable investment. System would be insanely resource over provisioned. Very bad ROI. See:

Can't add drivers to Server 2012 R2 boot image in WDS

Hi all.
I want to use my "old" Windows Server 2012 (not R2), WDS to deploy new R2 servers but i can't add driver package to the R2 boot image, it comes out with error code: 0xc0000135 no matter what drivers i use.
Without network drivers i can't boot the image on my physical servers, i've tried on a virtual machine where it works just fine.
I can't use the old boot image to install R2, then it comes with error: "Windows could not apply unattend settings during pass [offlineServicing]." when it tries to install it on both virtual and physical servers.
My initial thought is that the WDS server has to be on a R2 server but i can't find anything that proofs that.
Can someone confirm that non R2 WDS is not supported to R2 or does anyone have an idea to a solution?
Thank you in advance.

Okay maybe not a solution but i installed a new WDS server on R2 and then there was no problem adding driver package to to boot image.
So i was able to confirm my theory that it's not supported to deploy R2 from a non-R2 WDS server. If anyone can make it work please let me know but until then i think this is the only way.
If I understand your description of the issue, the problem is that you are trying to update a WinPE 5.0 WIM with a version of the ADK that services WinPE 4.0 images. Installing the new Windows Server 2012 R2 server caused SCCM to use the version of the
ADK that services WinPE 5.0 images. You should be able to deploy them fine from the other server, but you can only service them from the new one. You will not be able to service the older WinPE 4.0 images from the new server either.

Can I add a 2012 R2 server to a 2008 SP1 DFS?
