Mounting and Unmounting NTDS.dit file

Hi,
I am creating a PowerShell script that will give a possibility to mount the NTDS.dit file from the backup and compare the Backup AD with the current AD. If you are interested I can share the unfinished script. The problem is that I want to moun the NTDS.dit
file in a scripted maner. When you mount the file manualy using:
dsamain -dbpath "<path_to_the_NTDS.dit_file>" -ldapPort 10389
the process starts normaly but to end it the user needs to press "Ctrl+C" and once the process is running the script will not conitnue. I want to stop ager certain amount of time. I tried different ways starting the command as different process
(e.g.
cls
$w1 = ""
$w2 = ""
get-process -name powershell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Foreach-object {$w1 = @();$w1 += $_.ID}
start-process powershell.exe -argument '-nologo -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -command "dsamain -dbpath "<path_to_the_NTDS.dit_file> -ldapport 33389"'
Start-Sleep -Seconds 10
get-process -name powershell | Foreach-object {$w2 = @();$w2 += $_.ID}
$e = Compare-Object -ReferenceObject $w1 -DifferenceObject $w2
$e1 = foreach ($r in $e) {if($r -like "*=>*"){ $r }}
$e1 | Foreach-object {$y = @();$y += $_.InputObject}
Start-Sleep -Seconds 600
stop-process -id $y
and
Start-Process "Powershell.exe" -WindowStyle Hidden -ArgumentList "
Start-Job -Name 'Mounting the NTDS.dit' -ScriptBlock {
    Do
        # --- This will mount the ntds.dit file from the backup ---
        dsamain -dbpath $NTDS_File -ldapPort $LDAP_PortNumber
    Until ($False)
    }; Start-Sleep -s $time_ntds
But both commands don't allways work. I was browsing other solutions and came accross the main article of
dsamain:
Active Directory Domain Services Database Mounting Tool (Snapshot Viewer or Snapshot Browser) Step-by-Step Guide
and little bit from top of the "Steps for using the Active Directory databse mounting tool" there is a line that says:
"..You can stop Dsamain by pressing CTRL+C in the Command Prompt window or, if you are running the command remotely, by setting the
stopservice attribute on the rootDSE object. "
Can anyone tell me how to use stopservice, e.g. give example scripts or equivelent.
Or if anyone has any other ideas how to acomplish the task I would be more than happy to hear them out and try.

Solved it by using this command:
$time_ntds = 10
$time_ntds = $time_ntds*60
Start-Process "Powershell.exe" -WindowStyle Hidden -ArgumentList "
Start-Job -Name 'Mounting the NTDS.dit' -ScriptBlock {
Do
# --- This will mount the ntds.dit file from the backup ---
dsamain -dbpath $NTDS_File -ldapPort $LDAP_PortNumber
Until ($False)
}; Start-Sleep -s $time_ntds
start-sleep -Seconds 35

Windows 2008r2 cluster dns issue

We are running GW 8.0.2 not hot patches. System is running on a windows 2008r2 2 node cluster. When we failover the gwia from node 1 to node 2 we can no longer send email to the internet. We receive just fine, also imap and pop connections are working. We have checked firewall settings and they are the same for both nodes. We get 450 hosts unknown errors for all email going out. We think this is a dns issue, but can't find where the problem may be. We have checked the registry dns nameserver entries on both nodes and they match.
Thanks,
Bill

On the GWIA, is the bind exclusive set on the addressing tab?
The GWIA will send on the primary address of the box unless this box
is checked - but it will listen on all IP addresses (this inbound will
work but recieve will not)

Windows Server 2008 R2 - ntds.dit grows abnormal

Hi all!
We have a domain with 20 domain controllers in 18 different sites, the servers are in different countries around the world. All servers are Windows Servers 2008 R2 SP1, domain functional level is Windows 2008 R2. We have about 6000 users and clients in the
domain.
Our ntds.dit file is 5,2GB in size! I think it's too big for our environment, isn't it? At the moment we don't have any problems with replication or anything else, but I wanted to know why it became that big, and it's still growing!
I found a tool dsastat in Windows 2003 support tools... i tried dsastat.exe -loglevel:debug -output:both and got an output. The DSA Diagnostics shows me a total size of 98MB! Maybe the tools doesn't work for 2008? I also tried the registry key
from this website http://rickardnobel.se/when-to-offline-defrag-ntds-dit/ to show me the garbage collection... This was the output:
Internal event: The Active Directory Domain Services database has the following amount of free hard disk space remaining.
Free hard disk space (megabytes):
15
Total allocated hard disk space (megabytes):
5170
So I don't think offline defragmentation would help.
Just some more information... we have Exchange 2010 and Lync 2010, our users can upload picture to AD (size limit 10KB!). AD recycle bin is enabled in our domain.
Does anybody know a tool to get more information about what's writting so much stuff to ntds.dit file?
Thanks for you help! Best regards
Steffi

Free hard disk space (megabytes):
15
Total allocated hard disk space (megabytes):
5170
That is NOT very nice.. Yo do not need to do a defragmentation to recover those 15 MB space. :)
Run this process in some of your domain controllers and compare the results with this one. See if they have ~5170 space allocated to database. I believe that much information is related to the Lync and Exchange as you mentioned. Repetitive data is a case
in point. You mentioned that users are able to upload their own photo, so make sure the old photos are no longer resides somewhere in the database.
Try to dcpromo an additional domain controller. After that what is the size of the newly promoted DC database? In that case we can drill down the problem.
BTW: Since you got 98MB from dsastat I recommend you to run the command against deleted objects. By default dsastat is not querying for deleted objects. Drop a
isDeleted=TRUE and check the results.

USB 2.0 Mass Storage Device mounting issues and cannot write data on it

I have a 250 GB external Simpletech Hard Drive (with a USB 2.0 interface). It works flawlessly in a Windows XP environment (strange!!). But when I connect it to my iMac thru the USB port 2 things happen:
1. Sometimes it mounts, sometimes it does not. It's just capricious. If I boot the system with the USB device attached it mounts. If I connect it "hot", sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it does not appear as mounted...I disconect the device and the Mac gets angry.
2. I can read all the data on the disk, but I can't write any. That is, I cannot use it for backing up any iMac data. The backup utility won't recognize the device either.
I've seen people going thru the mounting issue (not sure if there is a solution), but I am puzzled about the inability to write data on the hard drive. I am wondering if this is due to a formatting incopatibility? Any hints??
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.10) 2.33 GHz, 2GB, 750 GB

For both the Mac and a Windows PC, format it as 'MS-DOS'.
Both platforms can read/write to it. A Windows PC is not capable of reading/writing to a Mac formatted (HFS, HFS+) disk without additional software.
MacFixit has been covering some apparent USB issues which may or may not help you. http://www.macfixit.com/
I'm still at a loss. I have yet to experience or reproduce the USB issues that a number of users seem to be having. Now that I have sufficient free time, I may look into it.

Hi Vel,
According to the error message, the issue is related to GDI+. Based on my research, it is a known issue that the GDI+ need to be updated on Windows Server 2008 R2. If we want to know what version of GDI+, we can do a file search for Gdiplus.dll.

Windows Partition Won't Mount in OS X

Hi,
I just used Boot Camp to install Windows. I had Windows XP installed on my MacBook Pro awhile ago, but after I got it back from a hard drive repair I didn't put Windows back on. I recently downloaded the Windows 7 RC from Microsoft's site and used boot camp to install it. The install seemed to go fine, and I was in Windows setting up stuff for awhile. When I booted back into OS X, my Windows partition would not show up on the desktop, and would not appear in the Startup Disk preference. In Disk Utility, it shows up as grayed out with the generic name "disk0s3". When you try to mount it from there, it gives the error "The disk "disk0s3" could not be mounted. Try running First Aid on the disk and then retry mounting." Since I formatted it as NTFS (no other choice for Windows 7), I can't do a verify or repair on the disk.
Going into Terminal and doing a "diskutil list", I see the 50 GB windows partition labeled as "Microsoft Basic Data." I've been looking around for a fix but can't find anything. Many people were complaining about this issue on these discussion boards back in 2007 but there was no real solution found.
While I can still boot into Windows by restarting and holding option, it's very frustrating to not see the disk in OS X. Does anyone have a permanent fix for this? I know it can't just be something with Windows 7 because people were having this issue years ago. Could really use some help with this. Although I don't really have anything installed beyond Safari, Firefox, iTunes etc it would just be a hassle to have to reinstall, and it may end up doing the same thing.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Adam

Alright, well I finally made progress! I had heard from other people who had this issue that installing NTFS-3G and MacFUSE didn't help, so I didn't bother before. However, I tried it just for the **** of it, and it definitely improved things. When I first restarted after installing both NTFS-3G and MacFUSE, I got a message saying that the Windows partition was unmounted "uncleanly" or something to that effect. I was given two options: to Ignore, or to Force the partition to mount. When I chose Force, it actually mounted successfully. The name on the partition was for some reason "Untitled", even though when I boot while holding option it shows the partition as "Windows". But it mounted fine, and I could write to it. I booted back into Windows, and found that under Windows the drive was also unnamed. So I named it Windows, went back into OS X and the name stuck.
The only remaining issue is that OS X still doesn't recognize it as a startup volume in the Startup Disk system preference. So in order to boot into Windows, I still need to restart with option held down; however, that's not a major issue. I was mainly concerned with being able to see files on the Windows 7 partition and transfer files from OS X to Windows and vice versa. So I'm basically happy, although I'd still be a bit happier if Startup Disk would see it as a bootable volume.
I'd still be interested to hear any other thoughts about this issue. It must be a known issue by now, since there was a very similar thread about this back in 2007, and still not fixed in Leopard seemingly. If anyone knows what may have caused this issue, or how one would have gone about fixing it without installing ntfs-3g/MacFUSE, I'd be interested. Still hoping the issue will be fixed under Snow Leopard.

DFS - Cannot Create Namespace - RPC Server Is Unavailable windows 2008R2

Hi guys, I am back again with another question
I am trying to create a domain based namespace, enabled Windows 2008 mode and get the following

Any Idea?

Hi,
You could update the HOST (A) records on the DNS server for the domain name, pointing to IP Addresses of some or all of the DCs to resolve the issue:

Windows 2008R2 SP1- No memory dump file is capturing when server is getting rebooted unexpectedly

Hello,
Windows 2008R2 SP1- No memory dump file is capturing when the server is getting rebooted unexpectedly. Tried allmost all options per the standards, no luck. Can someone help me to fix the issue.
Thank You

An unexpected reboot would not trigger a memory dump. This one may help if you're trying to generate a dump file.
Windows feature lets you generate a memory dump file by using the keyboard

List DNS zones on a NTDS.DIT file is it possible?

Hi guys,
is it possible that after mounting an active directory database NTDS.DIT file to list the DNS zones that existed in that domain controller active directory integrated zones?
I have mounted successfully the AD database using
dsamain.exe -dbpath “C:\path\to\ntds.dit” -ldapport 5532 -allownonadminaccess -allowupgrade
and now i can see it on dsa.msc console. But since the DNS folder on that drive didn't had the DNS zone files i assume this are embedded on the database as they were AD integrated.
Thanks in advance for any information.

Simply use ldp.exe and you then you can go under:
CN=MicrosoftDNS,DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=Domain,DC=COM
CN=MicrosoftDNS,DC=ForestDnsZones,DC=Domain,DC=COM
This is an example of article about how you can use ldp.exe: https://ramazancan.wordpress.com/2009/12/11/dsamain-%E2%80%93-active-directory-database-mounting-tool/

Hyper-V on Windows 2008R2 Running Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone

I am a lone wolf developer running Hyper-V on a legally-licensed Server running Windows Enterprise 2008R2. I have extremely limited research funding.
Since I need to evaluate Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone development for the 1080p Phone Emulator, I created a Virtual Machine of Windows 8.1 Evaluation Copy RTM on my server. I am trying to create software for the Nokia Lumia 1520 Phone-Tablet.
Everything in the Windows 8.1 Virtual Machine runs perfectly from Hyper-V on Windows 2008R2, except for one problem related to my Phone development project. Networking is perfect, the display is perfect, there are no other issues except this "gotcha".
The problem appears with the Windows Phone SDK Update 4, which supports a 1080p
Windows Phone Emulator. This emulator is supposed to load it's own instance of a Windows 8.1 Hyper-V virtual machine
when debugging the Phone Application from Visual Studio 2012 Express.
This Emulator tries to start it's own Hyper-V session inside Windows 8.1. In my humble opinion, it should be possible to do this (load a Windows 8.1 HyperV Virtual Machine inside a "parent" Virtual Machine).
It presents this error message instead:
Essentially, Windows 8.1, running in a Virtual Machine, should also be able to create a Virtual Machine inside it's own Virtual Machine. That is the required design of the Phone Emulator (must be able to intantiate a Windows 8.1 Hyper-V Virtual machine to display
the Phone).
If that does not work, then I guess it must not be a supported configuration. If not, then I need to licence Windows 8.1 on a separate physical computer. Anyone want to tackle this?
+__+

I have a legal, licensed Windows 2008 R2 Server with the Hyper-V Role. I then downloaded the time-limited
Windows 8.1 RTM Evaluation Version and successfully installed. It works flawlessly. Next, I installed the
Windows Phone SDK Update 4 on top of
Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone.
It all works flawlessly, except for one little problem.
Since I am interested in evaluating and testing the Windows Phone SDK 1080p Emulator, I must run
F5 - Start Debugging in Visual Studio in order to see my Windows Phone application in 1080p resolution. Well, the Emulator
almost completely starts up successfully, but at the last push it gives an error. This error is shown below as a JPEG.
Does anyone know which of the "Hyper-V components is not running?"

ES4 Turnkey Install Error on Windows 2008R2

I just did a Turnkey install of LiveCycle ES4 on Windows 2008R2 from the ES4 trail download on Adobe's site. I'm using the JBoss Windows installer. I received a few errors durning the install related to setting up the ConfiguratonManager.bat file which I've included from the install log below. The install fails with errors. I took at look in the ConfigurationManager/bin directory and there are no batch files. The install did not fullly complete and JBoss and MySQL were not installed.

I figured out I caused this issue. I was installing on a VM and mapped a path from the VM running on my local machine to a path ouside the VM on my local machine. I received the UNC path warning, but thought it wouldn't be an issue since the files were still on the local machine, but I was wrong. The LiveCycle installer really does work from mapped drives.

SQL Server 2008r2 out of memory issue

Hi
im running sql2008r2 on a windows 2008r2 server.
we have a tfs server running
at one point in the day the server memory gets full and requests from client are dropped until we restart the server and again...
how can i solve this issue?
i attached some screens

how much memory should i put in the "maximum memory" option to perform best?
unfortunately i cant move right now other services but i can tell it is planned to in the near future. but untill then i have somehow make it work OK with these settings
Ok Can you please refer to Answer provided by me(shanky) in below thread
Sensible way of sizing buffer pool
In parallel you also might need to search on error you mentioned 'Request of clients are dropped'. Since there are lot of things running I cannot upfront say how much memory you should set.
Make sure you assign
Locked pages in memory privilege to SQL Server service account. If SQL Server is standard edition you also need to enable trace flag 845 to take advantage of LPIM.
Please leave enough memory for OS. I would say at least 10G for OS. This is just arbitrary value
