Direct Access on Windows Server 2012 R2 and IPV6

I have a question about IPV6 and Direct Access in Server 2012 R2. Without using UAG is it still mandatory to have IPV6 enabled in the intranet?
Kristopher Turner | Not the brightest bulb but by far not the dimmest bulb.

Hi,
DirectAccess uses IPv6 with IPsec to create a secure connection between DirectAccess client computers and the internal corporate network.
However, DirectAccess does not necessarily require connectivity to the IPv6 Internet or native IPv6 support on internal networks. Instead, it automatically configures and uses IPv6 transition technologies to tunnel IPv6 traffic across the IPv4 Internet (6to4,
Teredo, IP-HTTPS) and across your IPv4-only intranet (NAT64 or ISATAP).
For detailed information, please view the link below,

  • REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES CLIENT ACCESS LICENSES FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 STANDARD AND DATACENTER

    I am using a window 7 professional  service pack 1 and I purchase REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES CLIENT ACCESS LICENSES FOR MICROSOFT WINDOWS SERVER 2012 STANDARD AND DATACENTER. but  the seller did not send me any installation CD or instruction
    on how to use it.
     Please how can I use it on my window 7 professional  service pack 1.
    Thank you.

    Though Bill is absolutely correct for most CALs, Remote Desktop Services does have its own special licensing server.  I haven't installed one on 2012, yet, but here is a step-by-step guide for 2008. 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd983943(v=ws.10).aspx
    Here is a lab guide for 2012 -
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134160.aspx
    But, the explanation of your environment begs the question - what are you trying to do?  You say you have a desktop OS and you are talking about Windows Server products.  In that light, your question does not make a lot of sense.

  • I have windows server 2012 R2 and install active directory

    My question is I install active directory in windows server 2012 R2 and create Group Policy. ( These set-up is only for test)
    Have not registered domain only install active directory to test. 
    So the problem is when I created Group policy for my user and put software restriction policy but its affected to my administrator accounts too, No when I open VMware (install Virtual Machine windows XP) and start os then its shows you can not user this
    software as you restricted from installing software (Something like that don't know exact Error). I could not start installed Virtual Machine. 
    Please give me a solution for this.
    This is the setup for a test use only so their not big environment connect with my pc.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    The following article is talking about creating and managing Group Policy on a Windows Server 2012:
    http://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Creating_and_managing_a_Group_Policy_on_a_Windows_2012_Server
    As Darren Blanchard mentioned, if you want to apply the GPO, you could link it to an OU that contain the computer or user.

  • Hyper-v Role in Windows Server 2012 foundation and Essentials

    Hello,
    I have seen that the two low cost version of Windows Server 2012 essential and Foundation) will not support hyper-v. Can you please tell me what it means exactly :
    Can you please tell me what is possible :
    -The server can not be installed as a hyper-v  guest (probably yes)
    -The hyper-v role can not be installed on the server (so I have to rely on vmware)?
    - Hyper-v role can be installed but there is no free license included with the server.
    Thank you
    Marc

    I suppose then, you would have to install Windows 8 and Hyper-V as your guest or core.
    Then run your Server 2012 Foundation under Win8.  which has 512GB Memory Limit.
    It seems asinine that you cannot install this role on Foundation, but seemingly you could work around it with Win8.  (Or Sun Virtual Box (free) (or VmWare(Free).
    So load up a dozen Win8Pro virutal sessions on that Win8 VirtualBox with up to 512GB Memory and Create your own Ghetto Remote Desktop Server with Foundation and Windows 8.   ;)
    What good is it if your can't run Hyper-V and Remote desktop services?  Those are the two apps small business need most.  But Microsoft strips it out, calls it a DEAL  (Essentials and Foundation) , yet if you want the good stuff, you're gonna
    have to buy Server 2012 Standard anyhow, + the CALs.
    So you are hooked into this "deal" by Microsoft Special Offer.   Its special alright, because you get to buy it twice.  The stripped down version that come with your server, then the full version when you discover Foundatoin and Essentials gives
    you AD, and thats it.  Nothing Else.  No "deal"
    Remember:
    All you get with Foundation or Essentials is AD and Group Policy.
    You cannot load RDP on Foundation or Essentials
    You cannot load Exchange on a DC, or Foundation or Essentials
    You cannot load Exchange and RDP on the same box.
    You cannot have Remote Web Apps if you load RDP on your DC.
    You cannot win with Microsoft.  No worthwhile "deal" has ever come out of the city of Redmond.
    The internet is a one-way money pipeline to Microsoft.
    Its three times the work, three times the cost and requires three servers licenses to do with 2012, what you could do with one 2008R2 license.  
    Might as well purchase 2 Server 2013 Standard Editions if you want:
    1.) Active Directory
    2.) Remote Desktop and Remote Apps
    3.) Your own Exchange Server
    You are better off installing a NAS if all you need is a file server. 
    Why bother with Foundation or Essentials?  Its a "Gimmick-ware"

  • Is it possible to uninstall IE 11 from Windows Server 2012 R2 and replace it with the latest version of IE 10?

    Is it possible to uninstall IE 11 from Windows Server 2012 R2 and replace it with the latest version of IE 10? We have a remote desktop farm setup with 2012 R2 servers and we are publishing some web links that only work with IE10. As a result, we need to
    downgrade the remote desktop servers to IE10. I have a feeling that this isn't possible, but if I could get a definitive answer, I would greatly appreciate it, thank you!

    Hi,
    Agreed with DonPick.
    Internet Explorer 11 is preinstalled with Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2.

    hello again,
    meanwhile I was lucky to find this article about Idenity Mapping in TechNet in the Storage Team Blog:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2012/10/09/nfs-identity-mapping-in-windows-server-2012.aspx
    Likely to be overseen at the end of one paragraph it says:
    "Client for NFS does not support NFS V4.1 in Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012"
    Question : Is this an official statement and is it still valid with most recent
    Windows Server 2012 R2 that NFS client does NOT support NFSv4.x  ??

  • DirectAccess Client not connecting without error code on Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1

    Hello,
    we are currently migrating from Windows Server 2012 to 2012 R2 and are not able to get the new Direct Access Service up and running. Our goal is to establish DirectAccess connection for a handful of clients using the IPHTTPS-adapter on the default port 443.
    Errors:
    There is actually no error showing up. It seems the infrastructure tunnel cannot be created but none of the IPv6-transition adapters is connecting (teredo and 6-to-4 are down) and the IPHTTPs adapter gives no informations about a problem:
    >Get-DAConnectionStatus
    Status    : Error
    Substatus : CouldNotContactDirectAccessServer
    >Get-NetIPHttpsState
    LastErrorCode   : 0x0
    InterfaceStatus : Failed to connect to the IPHTTPS server; waiting to reconnect
    Setup:
    Our setup is a virtualized Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard running on Hyper-V. It is located behind a NAT having the Port 443 mapped to the server. The only role installed after the basic install is RRAS including DirectAccess and VPN. The assistants completed
    successfully (running the configuration for DirectAccess and VPN). Operation Status says everything is green und working (for multiple days in the meanwhile). A previous direct access installation (on a different machine running Windows Server 2012) has
    been removed before installing the new server. The new installation is using a different router, so this might also be the cause of a problem.
    The client is a Windows 8.1 notebook located outside the company network accessing the internet through another NAT-device. The client has been able to connect to the previous DirectAccess setup but has never been able to establish a connection after the
    setup of the new Direct Access server. The device has no outbound constraints concerning the NAT-device and is only running the integrated Windows Firewall.
    Diagnosis:
    So far I've done some basic DNS and connectivity checks. The DNS-name can be resolved correctly and the router even responds to pings. The port forward is working and HTTPs connections are generally possible (temporarily routed the port to
    access the NLS-Website located on the server, which worked fine).
    Network monitor shows that both computers are communicating, traffic on the expected Port 443 is incoming on the server and responses from the server reach the client.
    Opening the IPHTTPs-url and in an endless page load. Sometime the browser page closes but I've never seen any result. Using telnet on the port shows that the server is accepting connections. I've even build a small test application that does a GET-Request
    on the URL returning HTTP-200 and no content.
    I'm currently running out of ideas what to do and since no error occurs this is kind of a bit frustrating. Any help appreciated.
    Regards
    Matthias

    Hi,
    In addition, have you disabled the DA client components on the DA client? If no, please also check
    the settings on the Name Resolution Policy Table.
    More information:
    DirectAccess
    Client Location Awareness – NRPT Name Resolution
    In addition, error 0x4C9 means the remote computer refused the network connection. It may be due to the invalid
    registry or corrupt drivers. For more detailed information, please refer to the link below:

  • Intermittent loss of UNC path access on Windows Server 2012

    Hi All,
    I hope someone can help with a major headache we've been having on two Windows Server 2012 boxes since September this year. Basically, these servers will intermittently lose the ability to browse network shares from windows explorer and the only way we have
    found to resolve this is to reboot. When the issue happens, we can't even log into the server as it sits at 'applying user settings' - presumably as it is failing to access the netlogon share on our DCs. If we have an active RDP session when the issue occurs,
    we can connect. In this instance we see that if you enter a UNC path in Windows explorer and hit enter, nothing happens - no error messages or anything. The only way I can get any response is when trying to access the IPC$ share on another server, which gives
    the following response:
    \\server\ipc$ is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this resource, Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
    The parameter is incorrect.
    Everything looks right from a physical network perspective, as we can ping from the affected servers and DNS queries are working fine. I can even run net view from powershell and see the local servers and shares on these, however any attempt to access shares
    just hangs the powershell session.
    If I look in the SMBClient event logs, I can see entries like the following:
    Event ID 30805
    The client lost its session to the server.
    Error: The transport connection is now disconnected.
    This is made worse by the fact that when this issue happens, we can't even cleanly reboot the server (it just hangs) and have to perform a cold boot.
    The firewall has been turned off and we have taken off our antivirus software to eliminate it as a possible cause. We have even rebuilt one of these servers on a clean install of 2012 R2, but the issue re-appeared. We have also tried using different NIC
    drivers (Broadcom NICs installed) to no avail. We have also tried disabling IPv6.
    We have logged a ticket with Microsoft support, who have come back telling us that this could be related to a known bug with DFS in 2012 for which a fix is being tested prior to release in a few weeks. However, I can't sit around on my hands until then on
    the off chance that this fix will resolve our problem. These servers are hosting our production Lync 2013 front end service and when this issue occurs it breaks the address book search and response group services, so this issue is of critical importance for
    us to get resolved asap.
    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    That's right, if you hit enter absolutely nothing happens, no error messages. It makes no difference if I try name or IP address - even trying \\localhost doesn't work. A few minutes later after trying, an entry appears in the SMBClient event logs as mentioned
    in my original post. To me it looks like something deep within the networking operations of the OS is randomly breaking. Also, if I try to browse the network from Windows explorer, it just hangs. When I try to restart the workstation service, it just gets
    permanently stuck in a stopping state and the server has to be cold booted. Once it boots up, everything is working fine again....until the next time. There is absolutely nothing appearing in the application or system event logs indicating the root cause.
    I've checked and DNS resolution is working OK and I can telnet to other hosts on all the required ports.
    I had originally thought it might be related to the Broadcom NICs as we've had issues with them in the past, but we switched over to use the 2012 inbox driver for them and the same issue happens. I should also mention that one server is a blade and the other
    a rackmount box. Dell support have run full diagnostics on both and have come up clean, so it doesn't appear to be a hardware issue. The even more baffling thing is that we have a third server with identical spec and config that does not have the problem.
    The only difference with this third server is that it is not part of a Lync pool pairing using DFS and sits in a remote location on a different LAN.
    I had thought of trying to drop back to use SMB1 by disabling SMB2 and 3, but I'm not sure if this would adversely affect any other services.
    This one really has me stumped.

  • DirectAccess Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1 - status connecting

    I've successfully deployed DirectAccess on Windows Server 2012 R2 in a 2 node NLB cluster. Everything in the console is green and I can see clients connecting.
    Windows 7 clients can connect and with the DirectAccess connectivity assistant installed show as connected and I can access resources.
    On a Windows 8.1 client I can access resource and run the troubleshooting tool which reports no errors, but if I look at connections it shows as connecting and the status never changes to connected. Clients work correctly when on the internal network.
    I've looked at available hotfixes, but not found anything for when the status is incorrectly shown.
    Any ideas before I raise a support call?

  • Windows Server 2012 Standard and Essentials User CAL's

    I've been running Windows Server 2012 Essentials in an organization that until recently stayed within the 25 user 50 network device limit specified by the license. Eventually we've grown beyond that. Since the Server 2012 Essentials machine had a non-transferable
    OEM license I decided not to waste it by doing an in-place migration to Server 2012 Standard, and instead set up a new server with freshly purchased Server 2012 R2 Standard and migrated Active Domain roles to it, leaving the original server as a part of a
    fail-over cluster.
    We purchased 30 User CAL's for the 2012 R2, as required for 25+ staff members.
    Now I am curious. The 2 servers that we have right now (2012 R2 Standard and 2012 Essentials) both maintain the same Active Directory and manage the same pool of users and workstations. Does that mean that the primary server with 30 User CAL's takes dominance
    and sets the limit as to how many people are allowed to access the network. Or does it become a combination of purchased 30 CAL's + 25 Users hard-wired into the 2012 Essential edition?
    Do these servers have to run separate domains with segregated pools of users in order to be license compliant for 30+ users or can they exist within the same same domain preserving individual user limits? What if the 2012 Essentials server maintains
    one office location with fewer than 25 staff and the Standard R2 2012 server runs another office with fewer than 30 staff, while both offices are linked via a VPN for the purpose of sharing 3rd party licenses? Do individual user limits apply, or is it still
    30 users max?
    To sum up the question, I'd like to know whether I'd need to buy more user CAL's when we reach more than 30 staff at 1 or possibly 2 office locations.
    Oh, and the device limit! 2012 R2 Standard under user CAL licensing scheme has no machine limits. Essentials is always capped at 50. When running one active directory, what's the legally allowed number of devices on the network? I assume it's unlimited.
    Thanks.

    Thank you for the reply.
    My question then is how to transition while preferably keeping both physical servers.
    Should a 2012 Standard key be purchased additionally for an in-place transition of 2012 Essentials machine to 2012 Standard (which at this point is as good as a fresh install)? Until then, should the Essentials 2012 server be taken offline entirely?
    What about the situation where I described both servers running segregated networks with their own pools of users, only connected via a VPN for 3rd party license sharing? Is that configuration supported?
    Also, if the configurations is unsupported, why are the servers able to share roles in first place? Why isn't there a software mechanism preventing interaction? What configuration do the servers themselves assume is in place?
    Thanks again.

  • Exchange 2013 Windows Server 2012 NLB and DAG on the same server

    Hi all, I am installing Exchange 2013 infrastructure with two servers. 
    Both servers have the CAS and Mailbox roles. 
    For mounting on High Availability, will create a DAG. 
    Client Access I have no external Network Load Balancer. 
    I thought about installing the NLB servers in the DAG members, this could not be done before. 
    I do not know if in Windows Server 2012 and Exchange 2013 
    Can I install NLB on members of a DAG? 
    regards
    Microsoft Certified IT Professional Server Administrator

    Hi,
    I’m afraid that WNLB and DAG cannot coexist in the same server. Because WNLB is incompatible with Windows failover clustering. If we're using an Exchange 2010 DAG and we want to use WNLB, we need to have the Client Access server role and the Mailbox server
    role running on separate servers.

  • Remote access for Windows Server 2012

    Hello there, 
    I have a dedicated Windows Server 2012 server, and I need remote access from a PC from a Mac OS X simultaneously. 
    Today, I use Remote Desktop Connection on the Mac and TeamViewer on your PC. 
    The problem is that the PC loses connection when Remote Desktop Connection is closed! 
    What is the solution for either the PC or the Mac or the two at the same time to access the server desktop? 
    Is there a setting that allows TeamViewer this? 
    Should I use or purchase additional software? if so, which one? 
    In short, what is the best solution to this problem? 
    Thank you!

    We use RDP through VPN, so there is no forwarding ports, it is as if we are on the same network. This way, you do not have to worry about hackers, as you are in a secure VPN.  
    Are you doing this from a different office, from home, from a computer in the next room on the same network?  What level of remote access are you looking at?
    RealVNC is a good solution, but again, if you are outside the network, you will either need to go through a VPN to keep it secure, or open ports on the firewall.   RDP will give you the ability to have two concurrent users (although with different usernames)
    logged on at once.  The limitation of only one user is a session limit on the computer itself,  if one person is logged in as administrator, if someone else tries to RDP and log in as administrator, they will take over the session.  This is
    the same with other solutions. RealVNC is using a console session,  so if another person uses VNC, they will see the already open console session,  and possibly take over the others VNC session. 

  • Task Sequence Windows Server 2012 format and partition issue when using MDT2012

    Hi all,
    Currently I'm working on a task sequence to deploy a Windows Server 2012 image. We've integrated MDT2012 Update 1 in SCCM2012 SP1 and created a default 'Server Task Sequence'. This task sequence deploys the install.wim to a server which has multiple disks
    attached.
    We've configured multiple format and partition disk steps to create the following partition layout:
    Disk 0: 499MB BDEDrive (do not assign drive letter) + 40GB OSDisk
    Disk 1: 40GB Programs
    Disk 2: 40GB Data
    Disk 3: 25GB User
    When the task sequence is finished I've noticed the drive letters assigned to the disk are not correct. In some cases the BDEdrive gets drive letter D assigned, sometimes drive letters are assigned starting with E, thus skipping drive
    letter D. 
    The smsts.log files show an error when it's re-assigning drive letters after booting into Windows. Looks like an error in the DiskPartScript.txt.

    remove letter=D
    select volume D
    remove letter=D
    select volume E
    remove letter=E
    select volume F
    remove letter=F
    select volume H
    remove letter=H
    select disk 0
    select partition 1
    assign
    select disk 1
    select partition 1
    assign
    select disk 2
    select partition 1
    assign
    select disk 3
    select partition 1
    assign
    It seems this error is caused by the first 'Format and Partition Disk' step before the 'Use Toolkit Package' step which is part of the default Server Task sequence. When I disable this Format and Partition step and create the partition manually
    all looks ok showing no errors in the smsts.log file.
    I've solved this by replacing the first 'Format and Partition Disk' step by an Powershell command which formats and partitions the disk. 
    Anyone seen this behavior?

    I have a similar problem when I install windows on some clients. Have you found any explanation for the behavior?
