D:\WINDOWS\NTDS és D:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL

One of the HDDs of the windows 2008 R2 standard server needs to be replaced. My problem is that this is the D: drive; the former system administrator installed the files on D:\WINDOWS\NTDS és D:\WINDOWS\SYSVOL subdirectories. My idea is that I could copy
the entire partition to the new HDD, or is it possible to move the aforementioned files to the C: drive?

I assume you have more one DC. If that is not holding any FSMO. Follow the below process.
1) Shutdown that BOX.
2) Replace the hard drive.
3) Do the metadata cleanup. See this for metadata cleanup
https://awinish.wordpress.com/2011/05/08/metadata-cleanup-of-a-domain-controller/
4) Rubuild that DC.
If that DC is holding FSMOs
1) Seize the role if that DC already Dead; else transfer the FSMO & configure the PDC again
2) Demote that DC.
3) Replace the hard drive.
4) Rebuild that DC.

  • Is there a way to add two windows in the same window?

    is there a way to add two windows in the same window?

    what do you mean by your first use of the word "window"? do you mean a visible frame? a section of the gui that the user doesnt see?
    or perhaps you mean you want to add multiple tabs to a single window, so that switching between tabs shows different windows?

    Hi,
    Can I install Oracle 8.1.5 on a Windows 2000 server or Windows 2000 professional server?

    Yes, of course. Both versions works but you have to be prepared for lots of RAM.

  • Dual Boot Windows 7 with preinstalled Windows 8 on GPT-formatted hard disk and UEFI BIOS.

    Question for Jordon Wees,
    Hi,
    You wrote: I can successfully install both operating
    systems in UEFI mode, with Windows 7 on the first partition and Windows 8 on
    the second partition. <o:p></o:p>
    But I couldn´t!<o:p></o:p>
    Could you please provide me how to install Windows 7
    64 bit on a PC that already has Windows 8 64 bit preinstalled?<o:p></o:p>
    I have also a GPT-formatted hard disk with UEFI BIOS
    but I get the error message that windows can´t install Windows 7 on the disk
    because it is a GPT-formatted hard disk.<o:p></o:p>
    I don´t understand this because it is a GPT-formatted
    hard disk with Windows 8 on it!<o:p></o:p>
    I can´t change the hard disk to MBR format because I
    will lose Widows 8 and all other partitions.<o:p></o:p>
    In the BIOS for the storage dives Boot´ option I
    selected the: only UEFI, I could also select the option ´first UEFI´ but it doesn´t
    change the failure of installing Windows 7.<o:p></o:p>
    Thanks, Sia

    If I am reading your issue correctly. Windows 8 came pre-installed on a computer with a hard disk setup as a GPT with UEFI configured.
    If this is the case then the outcome you are experiencing is correct.
    Windows 7 does not inherently have the ability to install into a GPT disk from the base installation. 
    The Windows 7 DVD is designed to install using BIOS mode.
    Also note that Windows 7 x86 does not support UEFI mode.
    These two articles below may help you.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut in OS 10.6 for "open folder window" and "close folder window"?

    Is there a keyboard shortcut in OS 10.6 for "open folder window" and "close folder window"?  I have a hand condition at the moment that makes it painful to mouse the cursor over to the arrow and click it (for instance, in the sidebars for Finder or iTunes) to open or close a folder.  If anyone knows a keyboard shortcut for this, I'd really appreciate it--thanks!

  • IPad Safari IOS 5 window.close() closing wrong window

    When I want to close the child window(although now they open as tabs) in the parent window with javascript window.close(),the parent window was closed.
    Is this a bug or have any solution?
    Safari/7534.48.3
    My script:
    <script type="text/javascript">
      var subWin1 = null;
      function popSub() {
        subWin = window.open('myurl,'subWin1','height=200,width=200'); 
      function closeSub() {
        subWin.close();
    </script>

    I'm having the exact same problem.  On iPad Safari on iOS 5 attempting to close a popup window with close() is causing the parent window to close instead.  Every other browser, including iPhone Safari on iOS 5 it works fine.  I've been trying to come up with a workaround but haven't found anything yet.  If anyone can find a workaround please post.

  • Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL..

    Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL. However, if I right click on a link and select "Open Link In New Tab", the Tab shows URL in address bar. So it's working when it's a New Tab but not a New Window.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Open new window in the same Window

    Im developing a project in JavaFX where I wish to open the new window in the same window
    Here is my code :
    Stage st=(Stage)((Node)t.getSource()).getScene().getWindow();
    I tried this but its giving an exception

    It is possible to specifiy a named window instead of _blank.
    So you could use the following instead:
    web.show_document('html/hello.htm','my_window');
    where my_window can be anything you want to call that browser window.
    However, I have discovered that if you put this in a button trigger, the second time you press the button (if the window is still open) it will not take focus - ie. it remains in the background.
    You can get around this by closing the window if it is already open:
    web.show_document('html/close.htm','my_window');
    web.show_document('html/hello.htm','my_window');
    The close.htm needs to contain some javascript to close the window:
    <html>
    <body onload="closeit()">
    <script>
    function closeit()
    window.opener = top;
    window.close();
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>
    Apparently XP SP2 is a little stricter with javascript and may not allow this. Also, not sure if this works in all browsers, I only tried IE6.

  • Problem with connecting to free wifi after upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8

    Hi
    I had problems with connecting to free Wifi after upgrading my PC(Notebook) to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8. As I travel a lot within europe, I am used to being able to connect to Free Wifi(those that dont need a key or password to enter) but soon after downloading
    Windows 8.1 I almost never was able to do this. I'd always get «LIMITED» even though the signal was strong.This was so fustrating,so much so that I reset my PC to clear it of Windows 8.1 and am now back to Windows 8.This is a shame because I was really liking
    using Windows 8.1 and if not for this problem(which is a big one) I'd still be using it. If I download Windows 8.1 again from the Windows store what is the probability that I'll have the same problems?
    Thanks Portozzygirl

  • How do I consolidate an Itunes music library on two windows computers onto one windows computer?

    How do I consolidate an Itunes music library on two windows computers onto one windows computer?

    Click here, pick the option which best fits your situation, open the larger library in iTunes, move the media files from the smaller one into the library in the open iTunes program window or the Automatically Add to iTunes folder, and then import the playlists. Any rented movies will only play on the computer they were originally downloaded to.

    I am a new Indesign user and a Creative Cloud member.  I was using the Window/Pages drop down window to view my pages alphabetically or by page number and also to determine whether or not my JPEG files were sufficiently HI-Res for the printer.  I don't know how I did it but somehow the window has changed so that now it does not have the alphabetical/numerical/Hi-Res information.  It just shows the pages in a two page spread in numerical order.  How can I restore the window so that I will be able to view the information as I did previously.
    Your help will be appreciated,
    Don Unwin

    The pages panel is not the place where you see this information.  You can customize the Links panel to show all sorts of things, including the page number, effective and actual ppi, and whether the link is OK or needs updating.
