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.

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:

Can I add windows 2012 R2 host to VMM 2008 R2? If yes, what could be the problem?
Bob Lin, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Install and Configure Windows, VMware, Virtualization and Cisco on http://www.HowToNetworking.com

The VMM Server should never have the Hyper-V Role enabled.
The VMM 2008 can only be installed on 2012:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg610562.aspx#BKMK_SupportedOS
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.

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]

Cannot join Server 2012 machine to domain

I am trying to join a clean Server 2012 machine configured with Active Directory Domain Services and DNS features enabled to a domain (alekatest.com) which I have purchased. The Active Directory Domain Services option in Server Manager advises me that
the server requires promotion to a Domain Controller, but if I select "Add a domain controller to an existing domain" and enter "alekatest.com", and supply Domain Admin credentials I get a message "Encountered an error contacting
domain alekatest.com. The server is not operational". The DNS server has address 10.0.0.2.
When I try and change from workgroup to new domain alekatest.com, it fails with the message "No records found for given DNS query. The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.alekatest.com". The server is connected by Ethernet to
a wireless router in a home network.
The ipconfig/all data from the server is:

Any help would be much appreciated

You're confusing DNS Domains and Active Directory Domains. While there are similarities the two are and do completely different things.
A DNS domain, in your case alekatest.com hosted by crazydomains.com is used to direct people to resources, for instance on the internet, to get to things like your website, email etc. It's not specific to Windows, and generally speaking after purchasing
it from a 3rd party you control what the DNS records are through that 3rd party.
An Active Directory domain is what you're referring to when you talk about joining a machine to a domain, setting up users on a domain, controlling access to resources on your network etc. This doesn't require you to purchase a domain from a 3rd party, and
could potentially be called anything you like.
So, in terms of your AD server, assuming you don't already have an AD domain configured on another AD controller on the network, when you do the setup you'll need to select the option to create a new domain. You could then set it to use alekatest.com, but
that isn't recommended as you can get into all kinds of issues with your local and public DNS records conflicting, so unless you know what you're doing and why you're doing it I'd suggest avoiding that. A better idea would be to set the AD domain to something
like alekatest.local. That would then become the local domain, so for instance your users would login as akekatest\<username> on the domain, and your local machines can then be joined to that domain.
Once all that is done, if you did need to have local records for alekatest.com pointing to local resources, there's nothing stopping you from adding that zone into DNS Manager on the AD server and configuring the records accordingly, however be aware that
once you did that your server would assume that it has all the records for the domain. So if you had a website configured on
www.alekatest.com and had the DNS records for that pointing to your website hosted somewhere else via your domain provider, if you didn't re-create that same record on your local copy of the domain then you'll be unable
to reach that website from your local network (since your users will be trying to find it locally rather than on the internet).
Hope that makes sense.

Windows 8.1 pro client on a Windows server 2012 R2 Essentials domain, how to change lock when idle?

Hi,
I need to find out how to do something?
I have Windows 8.1 pro running on my PC and its part of a domain which is Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials, it all runs perfectly except for a little niggle where my Win 8.1 PC locks after its not used for a short time. What I want to find out is
how to change this so it no longer locks when idle? I know this is a security feature but as its just my home pc it can be very annoying to log in again after walking away from the PC for a few min's.
I've had a look through the default domain policy but there are so many settings that I can't find it, that's even if there is a setting there?
Anyway can anyone help?
Thanks
JK

Hi,
We can try to implement by use High performance power plan or GPO to prevent computer from locking down:

Can't add web page to existing document

I am new to Acrobat 9 Pro (running on Win7). I love the feature where you can convert a web page to pdf and then add a wab page to an existing document. My probelm is that I saved one page as a pdf then went to a different link on that website that appears very similar and tried to add that page to the first one. As many times as I tried, my second page will not appear.
I did try going to an entirely different website and adding a page to the very same document and I was successful.
Is it possible that the program won't add the similar page because it is recognizing the page to be the same? Is there a setting to override this? I need to be able to save multiple web pages that appear the same way to one document quickly and easily.

Thank you for your response. It is possible to do this but I need the 'Add web page to existing doc' feature to work for me. I will be converting a large number of similar pages to pdf and this feature would be perfect if it worked as it is intended. Going back later to insert pages is counter-productive for me.

Can you add components to an existing OAS installation?

Hi All,
I've not installed multiple components on OAS but let's say you have an existing environment with Oracle Portal...Can you add the Oracle Reports and Forms Services to this installation? Is this transparent?
Thanks.

Yes you can add components, but personally I wouldn't do this in a production situation. The main reason is that I don't know what will happen to your custom made settings (e.g. httpd.conf etc.).
I should admit that I have no hands on experience adding forms and reports afterwards (portal I did and this did work, after some reconfiguring of apache).

Can I add my iPhone to existing iTunes?

I already have an iPod Touch, and I am getting a new iPhone next week. Can I add my new iPhone to my existing iTunes account? Or do I need to start from scratch? Thanks

All you need to do is connect your iPhone.
iTunes will treat each iPod and iPhone as separate devices.
The settings for each are totally separate, you change them when each device is connected.
You can also have both connected at the same time with no issues.

Windows Server 2012 R2 - Join Domain fails (Active Directory)

Well guys - I don't know what to do about this problem anymore...
I set up a DC for my home network - Windows Server 2012 R2 Foundation. Everything is set up fine - DNS, AD - I suceeded joining the domain with other PCs in the network.
Problem:
When I want to join the domain "lionnet.at" it tells me that it cannot find the network address after I typed in the domain admin password.
The dns entries are fine - checked it with nslookup. The DC name is lionhead.
nslookup:
set q=srv
> set q=srv
> _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.lionnet.at
Server: lionhead.lionnet.at
Address: 10.0.0.150
_ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.lionnet.at SRV service location:
priority = 0
weight = 100
port = 389
svr hostname = lionhead.lionnet.at
lionhead.lionnet.at internet address = 10.0.0.150
I tried several solutions: editing the lmhosts/hosts file, deactivating IPv6, setting a static IPv4
Any ideas on this?

what the hell...it was an external soundcard preventing the join...i installed it a week ago - unplugged it - "Welcome to the domain lionnet.at!"
Hi CloneBraveB,
Glad to hear that you have solved this issue and thanks for sharing in the forum. Your time and efforts are highly appreciated.
Would you please let me know the complete error message that you get when failed to join the problematic client computer to the domain?
In addition, for a test, please select another computer and install the external soundcard again, then attempt to join the computer to domain. Did you reproduce this issue?
By the way, would you please let me know more details of that soundcard?
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Can't install Server 2012 R2 on Intel SR2500

Hello
Hello
I am trying to install Windows Server 2012 R2 onto my Intel SR2500 server, as I am upgrading.
Every time I try to install it, I am given the message 'No physical memory available at the location required. The system cannot continue.'
It was originally running Server 2003 x64, and that was working fine.
I have tried different hard drives, re-seating the RAM, and using only one CPU, but no difference is made.
I am really confused, please help!!
Here is the system setup:
Intel S5000PAL board
Intel FALSASMP SAS midplane
2x Xeon 5150 Processor
8GB DDR2 ECC ram
2x 450gb Seagate Cheetah, one storage and one OS.

Can i add ram to the existing ram on my Satellite C55-A5308

I got a C55-A5308 in a bundle about half a year ago. It came with 4GB RAM and I would like to have 8GB. I want to avoid having to replace my RAM, as that would save me $50 or so. Problem is I don't know if i can simply add 4Gb of RAM to what I already have. I know that is possible on some laptops but I am unsure about my model and Satellites in general. I don't want to waste $40 on 4GB when it turns out it won't fit. Would really appreciate the help
edit: Also if anyone could tell me the best memory cards to use that would be great
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Satellite C55-A5308 (PSCF6U-0E4066)
According to the spec above, you have two slots and only one is occupied. You can indeed add another 4 GB in the second slot.
See the section Adding memory (optional), which begins on p. 44 of the User's Guide.
Satellite/Satellite Pro C40/C50/C70 - A Series User’s Guide
The spec suggests this module for your model.
Toshiba PC3L-12800 DDR3/DDR3L-1600MHz Computer Memory Module - 4GB
You might also check the prices for Kingston's KTT-S3B/4G and KTT-S3C/4G, both of which are also recommended.

Can not add new VMS into existing clustered server pool

For some reason, we reinstall VMM (3.1.1-416) with existing UUID and rediscover all VMSs. The process went smooth and the whole system looks clean without dead objects any more. The guest VMs are all working fine. However, the new added VMS in unassigned servers are not displayed in the "Available Servers" when we want to add into existing clustered server pool, but it is shown when we add into unclustered server pool. Anyone has clue or possible way to debug what's wrong.
Thanks,

The issue is resolved. The access group in shared iSCSI is not properly configured.
