DFS Replication doesn't work. Windows server 2012. Failed to communicate with partner. Error 5012.

Hi! I really confused with this error. I created replication group within two servers - AD domain controller and File server. I just want to migrate some files from AD domain controller to FS. But synchronization doesn't work. I get the error
- DFS Replication cannot replicate with partner <server name> for replication group <domain>\<name space>\<share>. The partner did not recognize the connection or the replication group configuration. The DFS Replication service used
partner DNS name MyDCName, IP address <the server ip>, and WINS address <server name> but failed with error ID: 9026 (The connection is invalid). Event ID: 5012
It seems my DC doesn’t accept connection from FS. I checked network, permissions and other settings which are mentioned in this article.

But nothing happens. Replication still doesn’t work. Please, help me with this. May be there is a check list to solve this problem? Thank you.

Having trouble getting "Set action to take when logon hours expire" to work - Windows Server 2012

I have a Windows Server 2012 server that allows remote desktop users (sessions are hosted on the server itself). I'm trying to enforce logon hours for these remote desktop users.
I have specified logon hours for a user and confirmed that they work--they aren't allowed to logon when logon hours are disabled. However, they are allowed to continue a session past their logon hours limit if they are already signed in (which is fine, this
is the default behavior).
However, when I try to use the `Set action to take when logon hours expire` option (`User Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Logon Options/Set action to take when logon hours expire`), and set the behavior to "Logoff",
nothing happens--the user can continue their session happily. I've tried applying this policy both for the user's group and for the local computer. I've run `gpresult` for the user and confirmed that the policy is apparently in place.
I also naively tried the "Force logoff when logon hours expire" option, but that apparently doesn't apply to interactive logins (confusing!).
Am I misapplying this setting, or do I need to take some other steps to get it to work? I'd be grateful for any input. Thanks!

Hi,
Sorry for the late response.
We can log off and log on again to see whether the setting gets applied.
According to
Policy Settings that require a reboot or logon section in the following article, this setting needs a logon.

Windows Server 2012 - Remote Apps - Mapped Network Drive Error

Hi Technet
I'm configuring Windows Server 2012 Standard with RDS Remote Apps. When I try to publish apps fra a shared network drive the I get this error i powershell:

I have been able to do this pn 2008 R2 like 100 times with no problems, hope someone can help plz
Regards

Aurimas... try the method I tried and let me know if it works for you...
To publish an Application that is available only on a Mapped Drive.
E.g. Sage Pro Application needs to run as T:\Pro73\sbtw.exe
We have to be aware that it may give an error sometimes because it tries accessing the IconPath variable and that needs to be on a local path "C:" or "D:"
We were successful in publishing the application by runnig the command twice in Powershell.
The first time it gave an error and the second time it published it successfully and also made it available on the RD Web Access:
PS C:\Users\administrator.LAFE> New-RDRemoteApp -CollectionName QuickSessionCollection -
DisplayName "SagePro200" -FilePath T:\PRO73\sbtw.exe -IconPath "C:\Windows\RemotePackages
\CPubFarms\QuickSessionCollection\CPubRemoteApps\sbtw.ico"-UserGroups "lafe\citrix users"
Please note that it will show TWO SagePro200 RemoteApp Program names and the Aliases will be sbtw and sbtw(1), but only the later one will be visible online and workable.
You can always go back and 'unpublish' the extra RemoteAPP if you want to keep your interface clean.
Hello,
I was able to publish remote app using this method, but I had to specify icon path in UNC as I was performing the publishing operation from
RDCB server and my guess is that it was looking for icon in "C:\windows\..\program.ico" on the
RemoteApp server where the icon did not exist. After specifying -iconpath as UNC
\\RDCB\C$\windows\...\program.ico command was successful.

Using Windows Server 2012 VL Product key with Windows Server 2012 R2

Hi all,
Trying to use a Server 2012 vl product key to active a Server 2012 R2, but running into issues, namely it is not accepting the key. I have read many threads pointing out that different keys are required, but no mention of the process that one needs
to take in order to obtain/swap product keys? Any ideas appreciated? :)

The product key I have is for Windows Server 2012 Standard VL, (It's not a DC).
I have downloaded the evaluation iso for Windows Server 2012 R2 and want to licence it (with a VL), but it is failing with the Windows Server Standard 2012 VL product key.
My question is - am I doing something wrong, or do I need to ask Microsoft to change the product key / buy a new one? - What steps do I need to take?
The product key for WS2012 will not work for WS2012R2. (so, yeah, you're doing that wrong)
WS2012R2 is not a "free" upgrade from WS2012 (it's different to Win8.0 -> Win8.1)
Your WS2012 pkey will work with WS2012. To use WS2012R2 you need a WS2012R2 pkey.
If you want to "convert" an evaluation license install, into a full licensed install, you must match the version (2012 vs. 2012R2) and the edition, and must use DISM as well as the correct pkey.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj574204.aspx
If you don't have the correct pkey for WS2012R2 already, and you don't have one waiting for you in the Volume Licensing Service Center website, you'll need to purchase a new license for WS2012R2.

How to activate Windows Server 2012 Datacenter evaluation version with product key provided on MSDN's student account

Hi,
I downloaded
Windows Server 2012 Evaluation Version recently. Actually, I wanted to check whether i could run Windows Phone 8 emulator on Win server 2012 using my core2duo (Non-SLAT PC). Now i wanted to activate the evaluated version by using product key of my
MSDN's student account. But its giving error when i enter my product key. I checked this article about converting evaluation version to full retail version. The article
says :
"If the server is a domain controller, you cannot convert it to a retail version. In this case, install an additional
domain controller on a server that runs a retail version and remove AD DS from the domain controller that runs on the evaluation version."
So kindly guide as to how I can install this additional domain controller and how to remove AD DS from domain controller. Currently, I have Dual Boot PC( win 8.1 and win server 2012).
Hoping to get a brief response....

Unless you have configured a whole lot of things into the DC running on the evaluation copy (should never install production on an evaluation copy), it would be simplest to start from scratch and reinstall.
Or, you simply go into Server Manager > Manage > Add Roles and Features to remove the AD role. Then you will be back to a workgroup server.
The evaluation version is good for 180 days plus three re-arms of 30 days each. So you can do a lot of experimenting with the evaluation copy without the need for using an MSDN key.

Server Manager fails to load with the error "A device attached to the system is not functioning"

I'm at a dead end on this. I can't find anything online that involves this error and the Server Manager and I cannot find anything in the event viewer being generated from this error.

I am constantly seeing this error at multiple sites on Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 Standard and DataCenter.
I have counted over 50 different server I manage with services such as domain controller, hyper-v, file servers, exchange 2013, SQL 2008/2012, and print servers.
I have seen it happen on machine that have been in production for over 2 years and to machines that were just created last week.
It is happening on metal, hyper-v and esx vmware servers.
It is happening when the machine have updates waiting or no updates, or after updates have been applied and awaiting a restart.
It is happening on Dell PowerEdge server, HP Proliant servers and IBM servers.
It is happening on servers with Intel and AMD chip-sets.
It is happening on machines that are a part of a domain or in a workgroup.
It is happening on machines with AV of Bitdefendor, Trend Micro, Vipre, Microsoft Endpoint, and Symantec Endpoint.
Only a restart will fix it.
I have ran process monitor on several of the problem machines and I cannot find anything.
Since I have only started seeing this about 6 month ago it must be a Windows update causing it.

Windows server 2012 R2 clustering issue with disks

we have a two node cluster
we have volumes configurred on both the clusters.we are using EVA san storage.
Data(C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1)
Logs(C:\ClusterStorage\Volume2)
i am able to change/move Clustered disk drives from owner node A to Owner node B.I cannot see the clustered drives on both active/passive nodes.
i am also not able to view the volumes on node b in the windows explorer.Can someone please tell me how to look at the volumes once we move between the drives on the cluster.
Thank you
lucky

Since you are showing us that you have configured Cluster Shared Volumes, that means there are no volumes to be seen in Windows Explorer. This is expected behavior. When you create Cluster Shared Volumes, the cluster software creates reparse
or mount points for the volumes. That is what the C:\ClusterStorage\Volumex is - it is pointing to the actual volume. When you want to use storage, you need to point to C:\ClusterStorage\Volumex and whatever subdirectory you create for the location.
CSVs are not meant to be used by all applications. They were initially designed for Hyper-V. But that is not how you would set up you cluster if you want to offer a something like a regular file share.

Warning in Windows server 2012 R2 Set-VMReplication with Enable Write Order Preservation Across Disks 1

When I run the following command I get the following warning? Can anyone help out with this?
Set-VMReplication -VMName server123 -EnableWriteOrderPreservationAcrossDisks 1
WARNING: 'EnableWriteOrderPreservationAcrossDisks' is not required for 'Set-VMReplication'.
Please mark my post as helpful or the answer or better yet.... both! :) Thanks!

I have this issue. I have given my DCs and DHCP servers fixed IPv6 addresses, and every time I enable an IPv6 scope the all get a second IPv6 address from the scope, which is also published do DNS and then the next time I reboot a domain controller there
is complete confusion.
My objectives (which I am finding hard to achieve) are:
- fixed IP addresses for all systems (in IPv4 I use static IPs on servers and DHCP reservations on workstations)
- I control the gateways. If my official gateways are down I want no connectivity to the Internet, I don't want anything configuring itself.

Adobe Reader Enterprise for Windows Server 2012 (R2)

Hi,
I want to silently install the latest version of Adobe Reader on a Windows Server 2012 server. When I want to download the offline installer at http://get.adobe.com/nl/reader/enterprise/ I do not see Windows Server 2012 (and/or R2) listed. Is the offline installer supported for Windows Server 2012 and/or Windows Server 2012 R2?
How can I get this to work?
Thanks in advance.

The Technical Specifications are here: http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/tech-specs.html
It doesn't mention Windows Server 2012.
If this is for Citrix or WTS you should get a distribution agreement and then also get the Distribution version of Adobe Reader.

SAP Crystal report on Windows Server 2012

Hi,
Let me explain my situation first.
I have Windows7 dev box with VS 2010, 2012 and 2013. My application backend is Oracle 10g.
I have an old application build in VS 2005 which I migrated to Framework 4.0 from 2.0.
I downloaded CR executable from "http://downloads.businessobjects.com/akdlm/cr4vs2010/CRforVS_13_0_9.exe" and it worked fine locally.
But when I deployed the same code on Windows Server 2012.. reports didn't appear.
Please assist.

Well, let's get the easy one out of the way 1st
Licensing of the runtime. The runtime is free for win apps. For web apps it is also free - as long as the app is used within your organization. If the web app is used external to your org, you do need to obtain additional licensing. And for that you will have to contact sales: 866-681-3435
Now, the actual issue:
Normally, the runtime is deployed using the MSI, MSM or CLickOnce, Nothing wrong with you installing VS on the server and then CR, but I suspect you're using up a VS license for that (expensive(?)), but that is a decision for you to make. E.g.; uninstalling VS and running the CR SP 9 MSI should suffice. To actually get the viewer working, I'd like you configure the viewer as per the direction in this blog:

DateTime issue in Windows Server 2012 R2

Hi all,
I have created a web application. Its working fine in Windows server 2008 R2. I have used Report Server 2005 & Report Viewer 2005 SP1 for reporting. Reporting is working fine in Windows Server 2008 R2. But when I try to run reporting in Windows server
2012 R2 system I am getting error "start/end date can not be set to a future date". The screen shot is given below:-
How should I resolve this issue. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Vishwajeet,
I have tested on my local environment and can't reproduce the issue.
Could you please check another report with the start data and end date in the report of Report Server 2005 in Windows server 2008 R2 and then run the report in Windows server 2012 R2 to see if you will also got the issue.
If you only got the issue when running this report, I suggest you to open and edit the report in designer of the Windows server 2012 R2 to delete and re-create the two parameters to see if the problem will be resolved.
Please also try to run this report in other broswer to have a check.
If you also got the issue in other report.
I recommend you that submit this suggestion at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.
