Can't join clients to domain in Server 2012 R2 Datacenter

I have done the searching. I have installed 2012 Datacenter 64bit. No problem. I installed the Ad Ds role and elevated it to a domain controller. I installed DHCP and DNS roles. I now want to join a client computer to this new
domain in the server. (it's the only domain). However, nothing I try works. I get the message:
"An Active Directory Domain Controller (AD DC) for the domain "DGR.MINE" could not be contacted."
Ensure that the domain name is typed correctly.
If the name is correct, click Details for troubleshooting information"
Details:
The error was: "This operation returned because th teimout period expired." (error code 0x000005B4 ERROR_TIMEOUT)
The DNS servers used by this computer for name resolution are not responding. This computer is configured to use DNS servers with the following IP addresses; 192.168.1.200
Verify that this computer is connected to the network, that these are the correct DNS server IP addresses, and that at least one of the DNS servers is running.
In my 2012 Server the DNS address is set to 192.168.1.200
In my client computer the DNS address is set to 192.168.1.200
The server and the client are both connected to a simple switch, so I'm using straight through Ethernet cables. I've tried crossover for client to server connections also, but no luck there either.
This should be a simple process. Can someone with patience give me a step-by-step on setting my server to a domain controller, DNS server, assigning the DNS address, and what else I need to do to allow a client to connect? Then can I get the
same wonderful help in connecting the client to the server? I wouldn't ask for such detail, but I'm needing to check to see where I messed up, if indeed I can find where.
Thanks very much.

Make sure that the machine you are trying to join to your new domain has access to the domain (can ping the IP address of the domain controller) and has set itself to point to the IP address of the domain controller
as its DNS server.
Hi, Tim
I can ping my domain controller, but not quite sure about how to set itself to point to the IP address of the domain controller as its DNS server. where do I do it? Thanks in advance.
my sql keep dropping out the domain for some reason, I cant see any domain user account and the location is not entire directory anymore on my sql server even the domain name appears there. so I decide to take it off domain officially and rejoin later, but
failed to rejoin and gives me an error msg just like that.

SCCM client deployment on windows server 2012 R2

Hi All,
Can some one please share the information , step by step guide to install SCCM 2007 Sp2 client installation on windows server 2012 R2 machine. IF step by step guide is there this would be really helpful.
Regards,

You have to install update http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2861663 to your SCCM server to adds support for Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.
Other then that should be the same as other client (Push\Logon Script\GPO etc.)
Please take a moment to Vote as Helpful and/or Mark as Answer where applicable. Thanks.

Hi Warsame12,
It is worth mentioning that don’t use IPV6 PXE, Windows 7 doesn’t support WDS 2012 deployment over IPv6 PXE. If IPv6 PXE boot is enabled and a
Windows 7 installation is selected, a blank screen will appear and Setup will not run.
The related KB:
Windows 7 client deployment over IPv6 PXE network boot does not work.

Log into a virtual machine on server 2012 r2 datacenter from a windows 8.1 client login

Hello,
I have set up a VPN on Windows Server 2012 r2 Datacenter using Hyper-V. Everything seems to be functioning ok using the Hyper V platform. I would like to know if it is possible to connect to a virtual machine on the VPN from a Windows 8.1 client using the
widows login and if it is then how to go about it. If I could have some links to tutorials etc I would be greatful. I have not been able to find anything and I have been looking for days. I would really appreciate some assistance. Thanks in advance.
Ed

Hi Ed,
I am sorry to say that I am not quite sure of your requirement. Is the Windows Server 2012 R2 computer a host server in Hyper-V? Did you mean that you want to RDP into a Hyper-V VM from a Windows 8.1 client? If yes, you need to allow Remote Desktop Connections
in guest OS. The network adapter type must allow communication with host machine and network discovery mode and the services supporting network discovery mode must be turned on.

Can Reporting Services 2005 report on SQL Server 2012 database?

We would like to upgrade our SQL Server from Standard 2005 to Enterprise/Standard 2012. Unfortunately, we also have a lot of reports based on Reporting Services 2005. If possible we would like avoid upgrading them at this time.
Is it possible to run Reporting Services 2005 of SQL Server 2012? If yes then is there pre-requiste like drivers or dll or any other to connect SSRS 2005 to SQL server 2012?
If we run Reporting Services 2005 of SQL Server 2012 then do we will face performance lag issue due to version difference of SSRS 2005 and SQL server 2012?

Updating Server 2012 R2 DataCenter Offline With WSUSOFFLINE

Hello!
I Am trying to update a system that is not connected to the Internet and I am not really sure which updates I need.
Server 2012 r2 datacenter roles:
1. DC
2. DHCP
3. DNS
So far... (will have VMware installed)
I will need to update every server on the system via wsus offline (also the client pc's)
is there a bundle of updates for the O.S. (Server 2012 itself) or can you direct me as to where can I download the updates please?
thn'x in advance
Omri

Hi Omri,
essentially you'll have to configure the main WSUS server to sync for whatever products you want to patch (i.e. Server 2012R2, Exchange 2013, etc), and select the update classifications (critical updates, service packs, etc), and then export/import those
to the disconnected WSUS.
It's not really practical to try and figure out exactly which updates are needed on which machines, using the approach above the clients can then determine, based on their own configuration, which updates are applicable.

Windows Media Player on Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Edition

I have a server with Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition installed. This server is being used as a terminal server and I needed to have Windows Media Player installed in order to use a certain feature of a program running on the terminal server. After
researching online I found that all I should need to do is install the Desktop Experience feature and Windows Media Player was included in that. After installing the Desktop Experience feature and restarting the server, I was not able to find Windows
Media Player anywhere. I tried the same process on another server running Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter with the same results.
I was curious as to if this was a Datacenter thing where it was specifically not included with Datacenter edition. I was not able to find any documentation stating that WMP was not included in Datacenter, and everything that I found stated that the feature
sets for Standard and Datacenter were the same, it was just the licensing for them was different.
Curious to see if it would get installed with Desktop Experience on Standard, I spun up a Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard VM and installed Desktop Experience and sure enough WMP was installed as well. I then upgraded the Standard VM to Datacenter with a
Datacenter product key and after a restart WMP was still present.
I have also tried this exact same process with Windows Server 2012 (non R2) Datacenter edition and WMP was installed as expected, so it appears that this is only a problem with R2.
My question is, I this "works as designed" and I was just not able to find the documentation to support it or is this a bug?
Update: After doing some more playing around I noticed that if I did a clean install of Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter and then installed the Desktop Experience feature and WMP does get installed. Then I remembered that on the servers that I was trying to
install WMP on and it wasn't working were upgraded from 2012 to 2012 R2. So I created a brand new VM and installed Server 2012 Datacenter (non R2), then upgraded to Server 2012 R2 Datacenter and installed Desktop Experience and sure enough, WMP did not
install. So now I really think it is a bug and it is related to the 2012 to 2012 R2 upgrade process.

Hi Caleb CSG,
Thanks for your feedback.
I'll feedback a report to Microsoft, and I also recommend you can post this bug in Microsoft connect.

Unable to install windows features on windows server 2012 core datacenter

Hi,
I would like to suggest you first run get-windowsfeature command on the core locally not remotely. And if it works, then try to remote run it.
Invoke-Command -ComputerName CORE1 {get-WindowsFeature }

Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Preview Activation/Upgrade

Hello,
Is there a way to activate an installation of Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Preview? I have tried DISM, and Activating with my product key through Control Panel.
When I run the Get-TargetEditions command it says I am unable to upgrade to anything. I have Datacenter license.
Currently I mounted my 2012r2dc ISO and it said it was eligible to upgrade from it, and I am currently running that...I will udpate if it works!
Thanks,
Rob

If anyone is looking to upgrade their Server 2012 R2 Datacenter Preview to a production server, it's actually very simple.
1.) have a license for datacenter
2.) have the disk, or ISO
3.) run the setup from windows > install > datacenter with GUI > upgrade
about 20 minutes and 4-5 reboots later, you're up in Server 2012 R2 Datacenter. Go to CP > System and Security > System > Activate Windows
Done. Full licensed production version.

Hello everyone
I have a problem to join computers to the domain.
Well I can not understand Spanish but I guess it is related to RPC. :D
In that case, you need to make sure your DNS entries are correct in clients NIC. Similar threads here:

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

Unable to assign Wyse E02 Zero Client in Microsoft Multipoint Server 2012

Hi
I am implementing and lab classroom for 20 client to be connected on 2 HP Z230 workstation with Core i7, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD. It will be 10 clients on each workstation.
Everything is connected to a HP switch.
I have sucesfull installed the Muitipoint Server 2012 and it is fully updated with latest Microsoft updates.
I have also installed the Wyse E02 driver on the server so that I can view the station on Multipoint manager.
On the "Network stations" tab, I checked the box from the specific client and click on "Assign to this server". While processing I get the following error:
Client Name: Network Zero Client
IP: x.x.x.x
MAC: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
The network is busy. Please try again later.
Thanks in advance for the support helping me to solve this issue.
Regards.
Muhammad A. Ismail

So, my Wyse E02 eventually showed up in Multipoint Manager and I was able to assign it to the sever but it appears to constantly connect and disconnect. Most of the time now the client just shows the black screen stating "Waiting for assigned host.
Ensure the assigned PC is running Windows Multipoint Server in station mode." Then I will see it disconnect and the screen will go to sleep and then will come back a few seconds later when MP Manager shows it reconnect.
My Hyper-V server (which Multipoint Server is running on as a guest VM) is in the datacenter and my thin client is in my office for testing purposes. I have them in the same vlan. Is this not a supported configuration? For a quick
test I setup the Multipoint Server trial on a standalone OptiPlex and connected the Wyse terminal to the same 5 port Linksys switch and everything worked fine.

One way trust relationship between different domain windows server 2012 in different forest

I'd like to build trust correctly between the domains A.local and B.int. A.local is on a Windows 2012 . B.int is on a Windows 2012 . Both machines are
connected to the same LAN. The forest level in A.local
machine is Windows Server 2008 and The forest level in B.int
is Windows server 2012.
I want a one-way trust relationship, i.e. users from A.local gain access to B.local.
my problem it i create the trust put when i go to validate the trust between A.Local and B.int give me this error :
The secure channel (SC) reset on Active Directory Domain Controller \\dc2.B.int of domain B.int to domain A.Local failed with error: There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.
NOTE : Recently I
UPGRADE THE Active Directory FROM 2008 R2 TO 2012 and i ping on A.local to B.int
it is ping by name and IP but from b.int ping by IP JUST >>>
