Connect a primary site as a ditribution point to another primary site

Hi @ all,
I have a Central site and a primary site server running - all is working fine. Now I have to provide another primary site server. I setuo the server and connected the new site to the Central site - all is working fine.
But on my forst primary site (P1) are some (many) software packages which I would like to deploy on the new primary site server (P2). Is it possible to establich a connection from P1 to P2 so that I can handle P2 as a distribution point from P1.
On the other site the only way I see is to copy all software packgaes from P1 to the Central Site and ditribute the packages to the P1 and P2.
Maybe there is a way which I don't see. Every help is very apreciated.
Many thanks for your attention.
Rolf

Hi Jason,
thanky for your reply. This way to is not the way I would like to go.
I'll be able to make a decision, if I sent the package from P1 to P2. I'm sorry, but I did not explain that the P1 and P2 will work in parallel - because the servers are for two different branches. But the P1 server contains software which can be used in
the other branch offfice. We are using SCCM 2007 R3 - I forgot in my first post.
I hope this helps to understand which problem I have to solve.
Regards
Rofl

How to set up a point to point connection in 4 sites

Hi all.
I'm investigating the option of set up a point to point connection around 4 sites.
I will call Site01, Site02, Site03 and Site04.
Site01 will be the main one with a Main Domain Controller.
Site02, Site03 and Site04 will be the Secondary Domain Controllers.
I need to install an VPN Router on each Site to create a full VPN Network, I mean, All the computers should see the other computers.
I need some support about it.
I suppose that I have to config like this:
Site01 with VPNRouter01 will have the IP range 192.168.1.X.
Site02 with VPNRouter02 will have the IP range 192.168.2.X.
Site03 with VPNRouter03 will have the IP range 192.168.3.X.
Site04 with VPNRouter04 will have the IP range 192.168.4.X.
If I config on each VPNRouter 3 point to point VPN connection is the only config that I have to do?
I mean, is not neccesary to config anything else?
I suppose that for example, the client with IP 192.168.1.10 should have the following IP address as well:
192.168.2.10
192.168.3.10
192.168.4.10
Is this neccesary to see all the clients on the remote networks?
Thanks and best regards.

HI,
Try the below
1) Configure site to site vpn from all the three site to the HUB site.
2) Configure ospf or any dynamic routing protocol on the vpn, thus you will have routes of site1, site2 and site3 in site4 and visaversa.
Once you have the connectivity established you can access any computers from any site.

SCCM 2012 console cannot connect to the site

Last Friday for some unknown reason my SCCM console stopped connecting to the site. Reboots of both site servers (MP and database) did nothing. The error is the same as this picture: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q0A5GonM498/UCDkreFxc9I/AAAAAAAAAQk/67AQ5tGW_d4/s1600/SCCM%2BConsole.JPG.
I went home for the weekend and on Monday I was actually able to connect to the site. It would take about an hour, but finally the console would load, with the correct information from the site. If I clicked on a different area in the console it would take
forever (about 20 minutes), but it would finally change to that view as well. In troubleshooting I followed all the steps in the attached article, except rebuilding the MOFs. (http://schadda.blogspot.com/2012/08/how-to-fix-issues-related-with_7.html)
After finding that none of that helped I installed CU4 hoping that would help. It completed, but with errors in building the four packages (console, x86, x64 and server). Now the console goes back to the original error and won't connect at all, including
from the actual server.
I have checked and there does not appear to be any bottleneck between the two servers. Network is as it was previously and I can still telnet to the SQL port (1433) from the Management Point.
Infrastructure:
2 servers, running Server 2012 R2 - one server is running everything except the SQL services; SQL Services are running on the second server
SCCM is at 2012 R2 level (now at CU4, was at CU3 at start of problem)
Thank you in advance for your help.

"Configuration Manager cannot connect to the site" after site update from SP1 to R2

Our dev SCCM environment only has a single primary site with a remote SQL database. Initially, the dev primary site had SP1 Beta (5.00.7782.1000) installed but as everyone is aware there is no upgrade path available to SP1 or R2 from Beta; so, we uninstalled
the site and removed the database, re-installed SP1 non-Beta (5.00.7804.1000), then proceeded to update all devices with the latest client agent. Afterwards, we attempted to upgrade the site from SP1 non-Beta (5.00.7804.1000) to R2 (5.00.7958.1000).
All seemed well until we attempt to open the Configuration Manager console and we get the following error message:
Configuration Manager cannot connect to the site (Site Name)
The Configuration Manager Administrator console could not connect to the Configuration Manager site database. Verify the version of the console is compatible with the version of the site server you are connecting to and then try to connect again.
So we tried reinstalling the console directly from here...
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\tools\ConsoleSetup\AdminConsole.msi"
still the same error message persisted, so we tried installing it from here...
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\tools\ConsoleSetup\ConsoleSetup.exe"
still the same error message persisted, so then we tried installing it directly from the R2 (5.00.7958.1000) installation media, and afterwards the same error message persisted....
All along, we were checking the AdminConsole log from here:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\AdminConsole\AdminUILog\SmsAdminUI.log"
Here are the contents:

connection)
at Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.AdminConsole.SmsSiteConnectionNode.GetConnectionManagerInstance(String connectionManagerInstance)\r\nNo details are available for this error.\r\n
Once again, we validated we could connect to the SQL database from this box, and that the console was at the same version as the site. Any help or guidance with getting our access to the console restored after the SP1 to R2 upgrade would be greatly
appreciated.

From the Primary Site Server, I tried uninstalling the Admin Console and re-installing using:
consolesetup.exe /q TargetDir="%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Configuration Manager" EnableSQM=0 DefaultSiteServerName=<SiteServerName>
Of course replacing <SiteServerName> with the FQDN of my Primary Site Server. Console installed successfully however the same error message persists.
Also tried installing the console on a clean Windows Server 2008 R2 installation. I tried it from the R2 (5.00.7958.1000) installation media, from the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\tools\ConsoleSetup\" both without any luck, the
same error message persists. I verified I could ping the FQDN of the site server also, and that the firewall between the two permits communication over the ports listed here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh427328.aspx
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Internet Connection loss after losing connection between 2 sites

Hello,
I have started working for a company over a year ago and recently we are running into an issue with losing internet after a loss of connection between companies site. Below is a summary of setup.
Company has 2 locations, Site A and Site B..both same domain
Site A has DC and other servers such as ERP, Document Control Software.
Site B has DC, Printer Server, File Server and other essentials servers.
Each site has own independed 20 MB connection.
Site A and B are linked via MPLS and only used for ERP, Document Control software, and DC traffic.
Recently we started to have frequent connection issues with the MPLS and as a result I started to notice none of the users at Site B can access the internet such as google.com, msn.com...etc. As soon as MPLS connection is restored interent works.
The DC at Site B was setup before I started working for company.
I have been trying for the past few days to figure out why Site B is losing connection when MPLS Tunnel is not operational...but so far no luck.
I am very sure that internet traffic is not routed via MPLS because when internet is working the IP lookup such as "whatismyipaddress.com" points to ISP IP address for site B. Also when doing tracert to external website the route is via ISP for
Site B.
I think this issue is related to DNS but cannot tell the cause or how to fix?
Thanks for assistance in advance.

Hi
Having said internet is not routing via MPLS, Even i think to be a DNS issues,
Try to check the below
Ensure all the client DNS is set to AD DNS server
In AD DNS server ensure its not forwarding DNS query to Other site
During outage check any client PC manually changing the DNS IP to 4.2.2.2
- all client DNS are set to AD DNS server
- I checked the properties for the AD DNS and found there are 3 forwarders listed.
The first IP is at Site A which is resolved.
The second IP I am not sure about since it is not even in our subnet (not resolved)
The 3rd IP seemed to be for an old DC that is no longer operational (not resolved).
- During outage if I change client machine DNS to 8.8.8.8 or 4.2.2.2 they can access the internet.
I guess my issue is with the forwarders. Would the right step be remove all 3 forwarded and add 8.8.8.8 and 4.2.2.2?
Thanks.

Remote login: cannot connect to primary DNS server

To what should I set the DNS under 'Computers and Services'? I cannot get any computers (Mac or Win) to remotely connect to the network, it says cannot connect to primary DNS. The goal is to have users have access to home directories from remote locations but I cannot seem to get a connection. Help please...
Message was edited by: mrsmittys

Hi
A bit vague on details and I have to question why you would want to do this anyway? For example 10-20 users all accessing home directories remotely would be hard work if not practically impossible. What is the bandwidth on the host’s broadband service?
That said there are a number of ways of doing this the easiest being a VPN. Ideally a fixed public IP address at the site that the server is at and a router capable of supporting VPN connections. I’ve always found ZyXel Prestige 662 Routers and IPSecuritas (which is available free as a download – just remember to donate) a good combination. Once the tunnel has been built the remote client will be able to access any resource at the host site as if it was in the same building.
Again I would steer you away from this as the connection may prove to be unreliable depending on users and usage. A more workable solution would be Portable Home Directories. With PHD you can work with Home Folders without being connected to the host network. The Home folders would synchronize the next time the client connected to the network.
Are your home folders Open Directory networked home folders or just folders created that are defined as a paticular user’s folder? If its an Open Directory Networked Home folder then internal DNS Services configured and running somewhere would be absolutely crucial as Open Directory will not function without it.
I have to be honest and say I dont think you have really thought this through (no offense intended), however keep posting. No doubt others will offer views and opinions that may further assist you.

Problem with connecting to a website. Just purchased a new iMac with Version 10.10.2 Yosemite. Once in a while I have trouble connecting to a site. It takes forever. Is this an issue with Yosemite or my internet service?

I purchased this iMac in Feb. 2015. When I try to connect to a web site using Safari or Google Chrome I usually have no problems getting connected to the site. But maybe once a day I will try to connect and I will see the blue progress bar at the top of the screen showing it is trying to connect and then it just stops. It may take a couple of minutes before it connects to the site.
Would this be a problem with OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2 ? Or would this be a problem with my internet company?
Thank you,
Laurie

Hi lauriefrommi,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
i understand that you have some intermittent webpage loading issues while using Safari on your Mac. In this situation, to ensure that Safari is working as it should, I would suggest reading over the attached article and using the information to make sure Safari has no unsupported third-party add-ons.
Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues - Apple Support

Can only connect to HTTPS (secure) sites and can't connect to HTTP sites

In short I CAN ONLY connect to HTTPS sites, meaning secure.
I've narrowed this down to an issue regrading my mac book pro and the wireless router.
Router:
- not sure of the make model
- other computers CAN connect to this router and go online
My Mac:
- Mac Book Pro
- OS X 10.6
- I can connect to other wireless networks just fine
- I can surf the web for about 10 minutes or so then it blocks ALL http traffic
and i'm only allowed to https sites
going to a http site results in a "page is taking to long to respond"
please anything?

The router is a Verizon MI424WR
hope that helps, but i doubt it will...
just to also clairfy http sites either go really slow then time out only never to come back, https are blazing fast

When I connect my apple tv to my access point upstair and connect my ipad to the same access point i cant see my apple tv when i open up the airplay menu on my ipad. but i can see the apple tv in the living room downstair which connect to the main router

when I connect my apple tv to my access point upstair and connect my ipad to the same access point i cant see my apple tv when i open up the airplay menu on my ipad. but i can see the apple tv in the living room downstair which connect to the main router.
Below is some info i get about ports.
I tried to set DMZ on my main router to have full access to ported to access point upstair which is in the ip of 192.168.1.2 and the main router in the living room is the gateway router with the 192.168.1.1 ip.
I still cant see apple tv after i try the DMZ method.
any suggestion ?
These network ports are used by Apple TV for communications on your network.
TCP port 123 is used to communicate with a network time server.
TCP port 3689 is used to communicate with iTunes while using the iTunes Library Sharing feature.
UDP port 5353 is used by Apple TV for automatically finding computers with iTunes on your network using Bonjour.
TCP port 80 is used for communicating with podcast servers.
TCP port 80 and 443 are used for basic and secure communications with the iTunes Store via the Internet.
TCP port 53 is used for regular DNS.
These are well-known ports used by Apple products, like iTunes. If you can use all the features of iTunes, these ports are likely already open on your firewall or NAT router. Note: These ports may also used by other services such as YouTube and Flickr.

When the Apple TV is paired with a remote, it means only that remote can control it, when it's not paired any remote can control it. You will need a remote for each of your devices.

I've been working on our church website and all of a sudden this week, my computer will not connect to the site. I keep getting a message saying that the the connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can fix this?

The "The connection was reset" error message can be caused by a bug fix for the BEAST (Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS) attack that the server doesn't handle.

Why am I getting an alert saying the connection to my hotmail has been reset when I can connect to other sites?

I get an alert banner saying my connection has been reset. This only happens when I try to connect to hotmail. It works fine when I connect to other sites, including this one. This is a new problem and I have not experienced it before, even though I have had problems with broadband connections. There are unusaul movements on my hotmail like when I delete messages and clear the delete folder, the deleted messages reappear when I reopen my hotmail. I have also had messages missing and reappearing even though they are from several year ago. The new problem with the alert message started about 10 minutes ago. I was able to access my hotmail via Safari but I get the alert message everytime I try with firefox.

Hi ...
Try here > Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
If that doesn't help, drag the App Store icon straight up off your Dock so it goes, "poof".
Now drag the App Store icon from your Applications folder to the Dock. Try updating your apps.

I bought a new MacBook Pro several months ago. I keep losing my wireless connection (my wife, sitting several feet from me has no problem with her iPad2). I find the quickest fix ix to turn Airport off and back on. Very annoying. Suggestions please?

What kind of wireless router are you using? more importantly which protocol are you connecting with? Are you and wife connecting using the 2.4Ghz band? or do you have a dual band router that offers the 5GHZ band? Are you both connecting vie 802.11 a/b/g or n?
The best thing to do is to go into SYSTEM PREFERENCES and select NETWORK, then select AIRPORT and click on the ADVANCED button.
Under the AirPort tab you should delete all the preferred networks and only add back in your network with the proper security settings and passwords.
If you hold down the option key on your keyboard while clicking on the airport icon at the top on your macbook pro. you'll seesome data that will tell you what band and mode you're connecting at, as well as in an indication of signal strength (RSSI) if you write down and post back that information it'll tell us what's going on.

String ftpHostName = "ftp.xxx.com";
int ftpPort = 21;
String ftpUserName = "myUserName";
String ftpPassword = "myPassword";
FTPClient ftpClient = new FTPClient();
ftpClient.setConnector(new SOCKS4Connector("10.148.0.131", 1080));
try {
System.out.println("connecting");
ftpClient.connect(ftpHostName, ftpPort);
System.out.println("connected");
System.out.println("loging in");
ftpClient.login(ftpUserName, ftpPassword);
System.out.println("success login");
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
finally {
try {
System.out.println("disconecting");
ftpClient.disconnect(true);
catch (Exception e) {

So I know the proxy settings are correct.
The java version I used to compile and run my apps is 1.6.0_06 Does anyone can help figure out what is wrong when I use the Apache commons net FTP client?
Thank you

Is the old AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS)
configured so that the option to distribute IP
addresses is DISABLED? If so, configure the new AEBS
to act as a bridge.
Are you suggesting I use a set-up with TWO AEBSs? Set up a bridge (not sure how) and then use the old AEBS to connect to the DSL modem and broadcast to the new Extreme which will then be the router to the other computers on the network?
Do you have any port mapping or default host enabled
on the old AEBS?
I do not understand, not do I see these options in the Base Station utitlity; perhaps they are in the FTP options--but that, I'm sorry to say, is not obvious to my inspection.
Duane, can you give me a few more basic instructions? Thanks

Connection from remote sites (Frame Relay WAN) to AS/400 dissapears

Hello,
We have the following problem appearing in our environment:
All connections from remote sites dissapears unexpected from AS/400. After 2-3 minutes remote users get normal connectivity again.
The environment is the the following:
Frame Relay/ATM WAN (Frame Relay on remote sites and ATM in datacenter) comes to Cisco 7204VXR router which connected to LAN switch with 10/100/1000 ports. AS/400 with Fast Ethernet interface also connected to the similar LAN switch. CEF is enabled on the router, IOS version 12.4.3a. We have ETHSTD *ALL parameter set on AS/400. Remote users uses TCP/IP and Telnet but there are a number of 5494 controllers wich uses SNA.
We got the problem for the first time after we enabled CEF on the router.
I suspect that the cause of problem is Ethernet frames of different standards due to ETHSTD *ALL, but can neither reproduce the problem nor understand why it behaves so.
Have anybody had similar problem?
I would be very thanksfull if somebody can help me to solve it.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Martin,
Cisco 7200 itself can access AS/400 as well as all other hosts in the same with AS/400 LAN. There is no any outage in communications which goes to another LAN segment via Netscreen firewall while the communication via Cisco is down. Only those hosts which connected via Cisco are experiencing the problem. I can not say where the traceroute from AS/400 stucks (there are other people who maintain the machine and they never could catch the exact moment of outage).
To turn off CEF I treat as the last option actually and unfortunatelly there is no guarantee that software upgrade will help (we have 12.4.3a now).
So first of all I'm trying to understan WHY it happens because I can not see any systematics in the problem appearance. It can happen 3 times under 2 days and then dissapear for 1-2 months...
