Cannot have multiple domain controllers with Essentials role in 2012 R2 Standard/Datacenter

Microsoft's Technet post on deploying Essentials Role in an existing AD environment states the following:
"The online service integration features only work when the server is a domain controller. Also, integration cannot be initiated if there are multiple domain controllers in the environment. The product team is investigating possible solutions."
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2013/10/28/enabling-multiple-instances-of-windows-server-essentials-experience-in-your-environment.aspx
Microsoft Essentials Role product team, can you let us know when this will be fixed? I will not be installing Essentials as a Role if I cannot have multiple domain controllers.
As soon as I add another domain controller the Essentials role no longer functions as designed.
This is quite an oversight by your team. Can we have an ETA for a fix to this please?
Here are more with the same issue:

Hi. We can't give ETA. Most user there that help does not work for Microsoft. (and if a Microsoft's employee help, then it's on it's free time at home or during break)
Thus, for that reason, please call the support to get a good answer on the ETA is it's planned or not. Be advised that the essential's version replaced the SBS, thus it target small office, such limitation can stay for a long time IMO.

  • Announcing the availability of enabling Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials' integration of Microsoft online services in environments with multiple domain controllers

    In Windows Server Essentials 2012 R2, all of our online services integration features, including Azure Active Directory and Office 365, are supported only in environments that
    have a single domain controller. In environments with more than one domain controller, integration of these services is blocked due limitations in the user account and password synchronization mechanism in Windows Server Essentials. 
    I am happy to announce that with the recent Windows August Update released on (8/12/2014, PST), this limitation has been removed.  This update adds support for both Azure
    Active Directory integration and Office 365 integration features in domain environments consisting of a single domain controller, multiple domain controllers, or Windows Server Essentials as a domain member server.
    For more information, please go to

  • Essentials 2012 R2 Exchange Integration with Multiple Domain Controllers

    Attempting to integrate Exchange Server 2012 with the Essentials wizard results in the error message: "This task must be performed on the domain controller." I've found several threads that speculate this is because there are multiple domain controllers
    in the domain. Is there a workaround or patch available to resolve this issue? Why wouldn't Microsoft want the redundancy of multiple DCs?
    Thanks.

    Hi HartmannTek,
    I agree with Robert.
    We can get the following information from the article:
    Services Integration Overview for Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials - Part 1. Please refer to.
    Currently, the Services Integration features, including Windows Azure Active Directory integration, Office
    365 integration, Windows Intune integration, and on-premises Exchange integration, are only supported in a single domain controller environment. In addition, the integration wizard must be run on a domain controller.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,

    I connect my macbook pro to an Epson wireless projector. The macbook can see the projector wirelessly and the image on the macbook is displayed on the projector. However on system ref., the arrangement tab does not show and thus cannot have multiple view.
    I am trying to project Pro Presenter on the Epson projector such that I have the detail screen on the macbook and only the screen I want people to see on the projector display. This has not been possible because the arrangement tab on the Display section of the System Preference is not showing. If i tried to search for the arangement, it comes back with the message that there is not other source detected, hence the arrangement tab is not showing.
    I have also tried to connect the Epson directly to the Macbook but it still the same result, so its not because it is a wireless connection. Can someone advise me jhow to go around this problem. I have used windows before and it is very easy to extend ptojection on windows, but this system seems to be frustrating to me.

  • Events cannot have multiple exceptions for the same date

    I just starting getting this message and could not sync to one of my Google calendars. I'm posting this for others who might get the same problem.
    I didn't find the answer on these forums but did find it on this thread on Google:
    http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Calendar/thread?tid=241155f758d9e2a4&hl=en
    Here's the important excerpt:
    "I had a client, who just had this same issue, nothing to do with Google cals.
    It was apparently, in my best guess, a corruption of the subscribed cal.
    *I did a get info on the cal, copied the URL, deleted the cal, then re-subscribed to it by pasting in the URL, and now it's working fine*."

    I've been having the same problem with my iCal calendars and the "Events cannot have multiple exceptions for the same date" error. Once it gets going, it uses up a lot of the CPU and resources. After reinstalling iCal, all my calendars were missing and I could not even resubscribe to them.
    I took my MacBook Pro to the Apple Store, and they were able to solve the problem by moving some of the iCal files from their existing folders out to the desktop, and reopening the program. That got it working, however, now I'm having the same problem again. So back to square one. Anyone else having this issue and know the cause?
    My setup is my MacBook Pro uses Entourage, use that calendar in my iCal. And I subscribe to two calendars my wife publishes on her Macbook. We're both using Snow Leopard.

  • Windows 2008 R2 domain controllers with Windows 2003 forest functional level Supported after Windows 2003 support ends in July 2015

    Hi
    Anyone knows whether Windows 2008 R2 domain controllers with Windows 2003 forest functional level will still be Supported after Windows 2003 support ends in July 2015 ?
    Thanks

    When Windows Server 2003 support ends, you should not have a Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller running if you would like to be supported by Microsoft. This means that there will be no reason to have a DFL or FFL that is lower than Windows Server 2008.
    So, if you are keeping Windows Server 2003 FFL to keep DCs running Windows Server 2003 then this is not supported.

  • Cannot have multiple DOCTYPE declarations

    I discoverd that my application gives an error when i'm using Internet Explorer 6.
    It says: Cannot have multiple DOCTYPE declarations.
    With the view source option I see twice a doctype declaration. Although in my JDeveloper project there is only one jsp:output tag with the doctype declaration.
    When i'm using IE7 or Firefox i don't get the error. Can anyone tell me why JDeveloper generate the DOCTYPE declaration twice and how i can fix this?!

    I found out a solution...
    There is a jsp:output tag in the source who prints the Doctype ones and the other is being generated by the <afh:html> tag.
    If you delete the jsp:output tag the problem is solved...

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    That's simply not possible I'm afraid. You'd need to give them their own account and allowance or make it so you are required to be there to input the password when they wish to make a purchase.

    I have multiple emails associated with my i phone, but can't get my mac to associate some of the email names because it is associated with other apple id , but it's my id. how can i get around this?

    - Try contacting iTunes for the password problem:
    Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
    - For the other problem you can try a reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - The next standard thing to do is to download/install a new app but you cant 'do that.
    - Instead, try restoring from backup.

    No, your ID is essentially your account. You can have email aliases and you can have multiple accounts, but I don't think that's what you are asking.

  • Can I have multiple event structures with the same event cases?

    Hello, 
    I'm doing an application that reproduces the front panel of the HP6675A power supply. To achieve this, I have done a state machine with different states
    (initialize, measures, voltage, current, ocp, ov, store, recall, etc). In each state, should have an event structure that catches the events of the buttons, like for example: if the current state is the Voltage mode and the user press the current button the next state will be the Current mode. For this in each state of the state machine should be the same event structure with the same events.
    My problem is that the Vi doesn't work properly when I have multiple event structures with the same event cases. There are some possibily to do this, and how? Or is impossible to have multiple events? I have been reading some posts, but I don't find solutions. 
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you very much.
    Solved!

    natasftw wrote:
    Or as others mentioned, make two parallel loops.  In one loop, have your state machine.  In the other, have just the Event Handler.  Pass the events from the handler to the state machine by way of queues.
    A proper state machine will not need the second loop.  The "Wait For Event" or "Idle" state (whatever you want to call it) is all you really need in order to catch the user button presses.  The setup is almost there.  Maybe add a shift register to keep track of which state to go to in the case of a timeout on the Event Structure.

  • I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now I have iMac and have changed to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?

    I have a Domain name with email forwarding to my Service Provider which worked very well when I had a PC. Now that I have iMac I have changed the account type to IMAP from POP3 so I can sync. between iMac and iPad but how?
    I do receive emails into my iMac for which I have 3 email accounts but am struggling on how synchronise between iMac and iPad so that both are up to date at all times.  I have also set up a iCloud email account thinking this was the way to go but have drawn a blank.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.

    Linc Davis,
    I have set up my email address both within my iMac and my ISP as IMAP accounts and I receive all emails without problem on my iMac. I have also set up an iCloud email address using my iMac.
    I have enabled the email within "setting" on my iPad and have used the iCloud account.  I have sent emails from the iMac to iPad using the iCloud account address and vice versa.  I have also sent emails from the iPad to the iMac using my non-iCloud email address and they have gotten through.
    The one thing I would like to have is for the iPad "mail" mailboxes to mimic the iMac "mail" mailboxes and both to be "in sync".  I am not really interested in using the iCloud email address for my email but would really like to use my "normal" addresses as these are what most people know me by.
    Do I need to set additional accounts within the iPad which are the same as the email accounts I have within the iMac and my ISP?  I have reached the end of my knowledge as regards email synchronsing.
    Thanks
