Directory "domains" empty...

I cannot run (Ctrl+F5) the projects I created in "Sun Java Studio Creator", because I do no have the "domain.xml" file.
In fact the complete folder "domains" (*C:\Program Files\Sun\Creator2_1\SunAppServer8\domains*) is empty.
I already reinstalled the program, but the problem is still not resolved...
Can anyone help me?
Btw, I use Windows Vista SP1

I have a very similar issue with one other complication:
kerberos has stopped and does not seem to want to restart, I've gone over the dns setup which appears to have the correct record entries (lower case domain name, forward and reverse lookups return fqdn). I've been getting the same log entries.
Anyone have any ideas? thanks.

Failed to install Active directory domain services

Hi,
I've installed the AD Domain Services on Windows2008R2 by following this guide http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/cc755059%28WS.10%29.aspx. After click 'Install', step 6, it showed failed to install but there is no clue why it was failed, at all.
Here is a log I copied from C:\Windows\logs\ServerManager.log

Another thing to check is to ensure the server service is up and running.

Cannot add Active Directory Domain Services role on - DirectoryServices-DomainController . Status: -2147021879 (80070bc9)

Hi everyone,
I've been banging my head against this for a while and hope someone can help me.
Running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard with Service Pack 1.
When I try to add the Active Directory Domain Services role to the server it gets to about 90% complete and then dies.
The ServerManager.log shows the following information, I have run the System Readiness Tool - output below - with no errors found.
At a loss on what to do next. The only other links I've found suggest rebuilding the server which I would really like to avoid...
Help appreciated,
John

Hi John,
Thanks for posting.
Performed some research and some results say that this problem can be caused by HD Write Caching.
To disable Write Caching:
1. Go to Device Manager.
2.Click the plus sign (+) next to the Disk Drives branch to expand it.
3.Right-click the drive on which you want to enable or disable disk write caching, and then click Properties.
4.Click the Disk Properties tab.
5.Click to select or clear the Write Cache Enabled check box as appropriate.
6.Click OK.
If no luck, Please check if any erros can be found in Event log, Dcpromoui.Log and Dcpromo.log

Help with setting up active directory domain controller/DNS - need this for Clustering

Disclaimer: I am new to Active Directory, so please dont rule out the obvious things I may have overlooked.
I need to set up Active Directory Domain controller on at least one server so I can run clustering. I set up the domain controller and ran Cluster validation and that failed - unable to reach writable domain controller.
When I look at my server manager AD DS complain about DNS:
NASE-2012-234   4015   Error   Microsoft-Windows-DNS-Server-Service   DNS Server   1/14/2014 12:54:06 AM
The DNS server has encountered a critical error from the Active Directory. Check that the Active Directory is functioning properly. The extended error debug information (which may be empty) is "". The event data contains the error.
When I click on DNS this is the error:

Laptop (Running Windows 8.1) no longer able to print and now see message Active Directory Domain Services is not available

Have a very recent Lenovo Ideapad Laptop running Windows 8.1. Connected via USB port to HP LaserJet Pro CM1415 frw Color MFP Printer. Was able to print fine nearly 2 weeks ago, but something recently happened - either a new windows or office 2013 update
or perhaps I blew away a certain file by mistake. I can see the printer installed but cannot print to it from anything (Word, Notepad, IE, Firefox etc.). The one thing to note is that usually when I plug or unplug a USB related device, Windows 8.1 recognizes
this and makes a certain chime noise, but with the printer USB cable it never makes that noise - making me think that it never fully recognizes the printer. Also when I select the printer (from within the control panel) and right click for properties (via
admin rights) It never lets me fully connect to it.
I have tried all the usual remedies - remove, install all drivers, reinstall printer, Windows update, start/stop print spooler and all other printer related services, etc. Its really annoying because this printer was working fine nearly 2
weeks ago. Looking for any advice now. Thanks.

Hi Chris,
à
I have tried all the usual remedies - remove, install all drivers, reinstall printer, Windows update, start/stop print spooler and all other printer related services, etc.
I noticed that you had reinstalled the printer. Just a confirmation, when un-install this printer, please check
if this printer still exist in registry. For more details, please refer to following KB.
Registry entries for printing
If printer entry still exist in registry, please delete that printer entry and re-install this printer again,
then check if this issue still exists. (Please backup registry entries before operating registry. It will help us to avoid unexpected issue.)
àand now see
message Active Directory Domain Services is not available
By the way, would you please let me know where/when get this
Active Directory Domain Services is not available error message? Or provide a screenshot of it?
(Please hide all protected or private information) Please check if all services are running correctly on the computer. Meanwhile, please refer to following article and check if can help you.

How to install Small Business Server 2008 in an existing Active Directory domain

It is shown on this page:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884453, "How to install Small Business Server 2003 in an existing Active Directory domain".
Is it possible to do this with SBS2008 ?
If "YES", are there any published information about the procedure ?

Yes, it is. Thank you very much.
But there is something that confuses me - I want to migrate from Win2003Std to SBS2008. And also, I want to keep the existing Win2003Std as a second DC for a long time.
But it is written in the shown article:
... After the migration is finished, you must remove the Source Server from the network within 21 days. ...
Is this rule mandatory for the scenarios where the Source Server is Std, not SBS ? As I know, I can have more than one DC(Win2003Std/Win2008Std) together with SBS2003. But what about SBS2008 ?

Provision Search in SharePoint Foundation 2013 without Domain Controller / Active Directory - Domain accounts

Hi,
I have successfully setup SharePoint Foundation 2013 as single server farm with SQL Server Standard database in a DMZ environment using local accounts since DMZ doesn't have an Active Directory and hence Domain accounts using powershell as described
in https://theblobfarm.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/installing-sharepoint-2013-without-a-domain-controller
When I run Farm configuration wizard to provision search service application, I get an error:
ERROR: "The service application(s) for the service "Search Service Application" could not be provisioned because of the following error: I/O error occurred."
The log file logged the details of this error as:
ERROR: "Failed to create file share Analytics_e441aa1c-1a8d-4f0a-a079-58b499eb4c50 at D:\SharePoint Search\Office Server\Analytics_e441aa1c-1a8d-4f0a-a079-58b499eb4c50 (System.ArgumentException: The SDDL string contains an invalid sid or a sid
that cannot be translated."
After investigation, I found that potentially the error could be because the timer service is trying to setup a network share for analytics component (as part of provisioning search). It is trying to setup that share with a domain account that happens to
be a local user instead in this case and fails with error “System.ArgumentException: The SDDL string contains an invalid sid or a sid that cannot be translated”.
I got some pointer from the below thread
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c8e93984-f4e5-46da-8e8a-c5c79ea1ff62/error-creating-search-service-application-on-sharepoint-foundation-with-local-account?forum=sharepointadmin
However, the above thread doesn't state that the solution worked.
I have tried creating share manually for Analytics_<Guid> folder but it doesn't work since every time farm configuration wizards is run it creates a new Analytics_<Guid> folder.
Since, I have setup SharePoint Foundation 2013 on a production environment I cannot test and trial various solutions.
Can some please guide me on how to successfully provision search for SharePoint Foundation 2013 setup as a single server farm with SQL Server Standard database in a DMZ environment using local accounts (without Active Directory - domain accounts).
Thanks in advance.
Himanshu

Microsoft documentation doesn't always specifically call out all products (Project Server isn't there, either). But it does apply. You'll need to stand up at least one Domain Controller, or allow port access back to a DC.
Preferably, set up SharePoint on the internal network and use a reverse proxy (which will terminate client connections at the reverse proxy) present in the DMZ.

Is it possible to modify the timeout of the userID on my active directory domain when off network?

My work Macbook Pro is using a domain account from my office. When I travel and the domain controller is not reachable it takes 30 to 60 secs longer to log into my system because it has to wait for the active directory domain controller search to timeout before it will use cached credentials (i.e. a mobile account). Does anyone know how to modify my system settings to reduce the timeout or even eliminate the delay all together? I am running the latest version of Yosemite.
Thanks,
Mike

Here is the modified VI, saved in LabVIEW 2012. Follow these steps to patch your system:
1. Close LabVIEW 2012.
2. Backup the following file: LabVIEW 2012\resource\Framework\Providers\VILibrary\libFrame_OpenPageRef.vi
3. Replace it with the version attached to this post.
4. Restart LabVIEW 2012.
Now you should no longer experience the 30 second timeout when the class property page loads. I set the timeout to "-1", so it should wait as long as necessary to open the page.
Note that if you ever repair or reinstall LabVIEW 2012, you'll need to patch this file again. Also, I wouldn't try patching any version other than 2012, since there may be other changes made to this VI across LabVIEW upgrades.

SCVMM 2008 R2 - "The SQL Server service account does not have permission to access Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)."

I know this question has been asked before, but never for R2, that I can tell, and the posted fixes aren't working. I have just installed SCVMM 2008 R2 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server, using a remote SQL 2008 SP1 database. When I attempt to connect to SCVMM, I get the following error:
"The SQL Server service account does not have permission to access Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS).
Ensure that the SQL Server service is running under a domain account or a computer account that has permission to access AD DS. For more information, see "Some applications and APIs require access to authorization information on account objects" in the Microsoft Knowledge Base at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=121054.
ID: 2607"
What I've seen online is that this is usually becuase the domain account SCVMM is running as does not have the proper permissions on the SQL database. Here's what I've confirmed:
1) My SCVMM service account is a local admin on the SCVMM server
2) My SCVMM service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
3) My SQL service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
4) My SQL service account is a domain user (even made it a domain admin, just in case, and it still "doesn't have access to AD DS," which is obviously untrue)
5) Neither service account is locked out
Has anyone run in to this? It says in Technet that remote SQL 2008 is supported, as long as the SQL management studio is installed to the SCVMM server, and I installed and patched before I began the SCVMM installation. I just don't know what else to try - I have no errors in event logs, no issues during the installation itself...
Andrew Topp

That answer was very unhelpful fr33m4n. The individual mentions that they've received the error that points to the KB article. I currently receive the same error -- there seems to be no resolution. I've run the Microsoft VBS script to add TAUG to the WAAG
as suggested by 331951, and that made absolutely no difference.
1) My SCVMM service account is a local admin on the SCVMM server
2) My SCVMM service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
3) My SQL service account is a dbowner on the SCVMM database in SQL
4) My SQL service account is a domain user (even made it a domain admin, just in case, and it still
"doesn't have access to AD DS," which is obviously untrue)
The user is also a member of WAAG, the machines have delegated authority to each other. Is there any other solution?

Windows 2012 R2 Active Directory Domain Services and Remote Desktop services Role on the same server.

Findings:
Currently, Windows 2012 R2 AD DS role and RDS With Broker services can only seem to coexist properly in a new domain not an existing domain. Any attempt to add to an existing domain causes internal database user access denied issues and any attempt to
adjust rights and circumvent is dubious at best.
The escalation technician said it best. Out of 50 clients that want to do this, they end up not being able to help 5 right off the bat for whatever reason. As for the other 40 they might be able to help by running reports, adjusting rights and trying to add
the roles until it works. This can end up being a 20 day process. Basically they are playing whack-a-mole with user rights and permissions until something sticks.
We tried creating an OU where any other domain policies would not be inherited to see if that was the issue, a fresh install with different sequence of adding the Roles, no effect.
Given the errors I witnessed when running procmon and then trying to add the roles, the NT System and the Windows Internal database user had access denied issues on 100+ registry keys when trying to add the roles. After that the system is not behaving normally.
The errors displayed almost mirror the errors that would occur on Windows 2012 when those two roles would be added which of course is officially NOT supported on that system.
This blog needs serious revision:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2013/07/09/what-s-new-in-remote-desktop-services-for-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
This is the excerpt from that blog: Single server RDS deployment including Active Directory. We now support running our RD Connection Broker role service on the same physical instance as an Active Directory Domain Controller. In addition, we published
guidelines for how RD Session Host could be used without the RD Connection Broker.
Microsoft Support was curteous and helpful and they were the ones who advised cutting our losses, which mirrored my hunch after seeing what was transpiring in the system. They refunded my money for the support call.
For me, it was an opportunity to find out if there was any way to configure Windows 2012 R2 in the Same manner that it was setup as Windows 2008 R2 and lay that to rest. The coexistence is poorly implemented. It is as if there was a reaction from all the deprecation
of bread and butter features such as shadowing in TS and the coexistence of AD DS and RDS to where those features were re-added haphazardly. (I have no complaints on shadowing on Windows 2012 R2 it works, just do not like having to go to server manager to
use it).
I opted for virtualizing the Domain controller to eliminate the incompatibility issues and that is what I will be doing from now on. I found free solutions for backing up and reporting for virtual machines as well as the suggested procedures for configruing
a Domain controller as a virtual machine on a Hyper-V environment and I will be sticking to those. Thus far the setup has been operational.
I am not allergic to virtualization, but for really small setups it adds additional time and considerations but if that is how it has to be done, so be it. Windows 2008 R2 days are numbered and since we can usually squeeze 5-7 years on quality server equipment,
buying a Windows 2008 R2 setup now is a borderline disservice in my opinion.
Hopefully someone finds this useful and saves some time.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Do you need any other assistance?
Based on your description, you are describing your story of successfully implementing RDS server with AD role and more regarding all RDS related scenario. For shadowing feature, you can use with command also. Below is the syntax to shadow a session.
mstsc /v:<ServerName> /shadow:<SessionID>
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable....printer "unseen"

I Have a Windows 7 on an Acer Aspire 5742 laptop and an HP LaserjetP1102w. There are two wireless laptops in the household. I am trying to print from Microsoft Word Starter, but it states "No Printers Installed" and if I try to add a printer I get the message: The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable.
I can print Self Test/Device configuration sheets (on this the iPv4 reads as 0.0.0.0.), a printer test page and a test print from the HP Print and Scan Doctor. It is the network which is not reading the printer.
I have disabled my firewall, un- and re-installed the printer. I have also tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer using the Window 7 installer utility. but that tells this printer "is not currently supported by this Wizard"
I have searched the web for people with the same problem but found nothing that has helped me. Not to put too fine a point on it I am at my wit's end.
You are my last resort (no pressure, then!)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Are the configuration reports with the 0.0.0.0 being printed directly from the printer? A 0.0.0.0 address indicates the printer is not actually on the network (or at least not getting DHCP information from the router). The Print and Scan Doctor should not have been able to print to it unless it happened to be connected by a USB cable as well.
What brand and model is the router?
Is the wireless light a solid blue light or a flashing blue light?
You mentioned an Active Directory Domain Services error message. Outside of corporate networks, this is not an error message you should get. I suspect there might be a deeper software issue at fault. Please provide the exact steps you are using to add the printer to generate that error message.

Cannot Print. "The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable"

Hi there
I cannot print and I have not been able to find the fix via existing forum threads.
System:
Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit German - Profile language is Danish (installed a week ago and completely windows updated)
Office 365 Small Business Premium
HP DV8 Laptop. i7, 512GB SSD, 8GB RAM
HP LaserJet P1006 USB printer.
Problem
No matter if I try to print from IE, Notebook, Word 2013 or anything else, I cannot chose my printer (P1006).
If I try to Add Printer in Word 2013, I get the "The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable" error.
In Devices and Printers, the P1006 is visible, but there is no driver installed.
Trying to install the correct driver:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=3435683&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=3435682&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=4063
only creates a general error during installation: "Printer Software Installer has stopped working - A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows closes the program and will notify you if a solution has been found"
I have tried all the solution software from Windows, from HP (for the laptop and for the printer) - but nothing comes up with any details or suggestions.
What should I try?
Absolutely everything else works perfectly on the system.

Sims 2 - Crashes when iMac part of an open directory domain

Having a weird issue with running the The Sim 2 on my Kids machines.
Some background, we have an Aluminum intel iMac and am intel Mac Min both running Leopard 10.5.6 which are connected to an old G4 DP800 running Leopard Server 10.5.6. When I installed the Sims 2 on the iMac or the Mac Mini it crashes almost immediately when you try to run it. Got onto Aspyr, went back and forward with them and they couldn't replicate the issues.
Eventually I tried installing a fresh copy of Leopard 10.5.6 on an external USB drive and booting off that. It worked.
Now for the fun part. Having been able to run the Sims 2 successfully from this vanilla usb install of 10.5.6, I then tried adding this back into the Open Directory domain, still running form the USB drive, all I did was add the machine back into the open directory domain, I didn't reboot, I didn't log out and back in again all I did was open directory utility, added the machine to the open directory domain and then re-ran The Sims 2, and you guessed it, it was crashing again.
Just in case I did anything wrong, I repeated the whole process, and found this is repeatable, as soon as I the machine back into the open directory, then Sims 2 crashes.
The attitude from Aspyr when I related all of this to then was that I had a "non standard" setup.
It's a real pain having to keep a vanilla 10.5.6 install and having to re-boot each time to run this game, does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on this?
TIA
Dave

So I finally got it to work.
The Mavericks set up DNS assistant seems to add your local domain into the FQDN so you end up getting 'macsvr.domain.domain.com'
I uninstalled server, removed the /Library/Server folder also Server.app and two files in /Library/Preferences. Serverd.plist and servermgrd.plist.
I restarted server and let it do a first run, I set up my host name asking to set up DNS.
I then went into DNS, deactivated it and edited the domain. I then added NS and machine records, reverse lookups and finally made sure the FQDN was in the correct zone. I repeated this for the intended replica and created my OD replica on first run.
Check everything is good by using terminal, using the cmd: nslookup <ip address> for both master and replica, then: nslookup <FQDN> then: host <ip address>
This should resolve both OD master and OD replica IP and hostname
Hope this helps anyone else stuck on the set up.

Lion Server 10.7.4 VPN service not using my Active Directory domain for authentication

I have Lion Server 10.7.4 setup on a Mac Mini and I have enabled the VPN service for both L2TP and PPTP. The Mac Mini is joined to my Windows Domain at a functional level of Server 2008 R2. I have set the authentication paths to point to my domain in Directory Utility.
What I would like to have happen is for my laptop to be able to VPN into my office network remotely using domain credentials and not local account credentials on the Mac Mini itself. This is a process I have done numerous times on Windows boxes, but for some reason the only way I can get the VPN to work on this instance of Lion Server 10.7.4 is by authenticating using local accounts only.
Does Lion Server 10.7.4 only authenticate VPN users based on it's local account schema? Or can it truly authenticate against an active directory domain?
Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated. Thanks,

Hi g-pirtle,
Yes, I had already done that a few days ago. I was able to add the desired AD group to the allowed users/groups for the VPN service. Thats exactly what is so weird about this...it allows me to search for and add an AD user or group to the list of allowed users/groups, but then when I actually try to use a domain account to authenticate to the VPN is just gives me the "cannot authenticate" error. Very strange.
I wondered if for some reason Apple is only allowing local accounts to be authenticated against. Sounds crazy, but I cannot for the life of me get this to work. I also wondered if Kerberizing the server would help, but when I go to join a Kerberos realm in Open Directory inside of Server Admin, it just has no realm listed in the drop down menu.
Other than that, all other aspects of the Mac Mini being joined to the AD domain seems to be good. I'm really stumped here...
Thanks again,

Install Active Directory Domain Controller on Windows server 2008 enterprise, dont login on Sql Server 2008 R2

I install Active Directory Domain Controller on Windows server 2008 enterprise and dont login on Sql Server 2008 R2. Before install ADDC, I have logon SQL Server 2008r2 Success, After when i install ADDC is don't logon on SQL Server 2008r2 -->not success.
I have uninstalled ADDC but i still can't login on SQL server 2008r2.
please help me. it is very very disaster!
I think is loss account SQL server 2008r2!

Hello,
I stronly recommend you post the detail error message to us while you try to connect to SQL Server instance, it's useful for us to do further investigation.
Microsoft recommends that you do not install SQL Server 2008 R2 on a domain controller, there are some limitations:
You cannot run SQL Server services on a domain controller under a local service account or a network service account.
After SQL Server is installed on a computer, you cannot change the computer from a domain member to a domain controller. You must uninstall SQL Server before you change the host computer to a domain controller.
After SQL Server is installed on a computer, you cannot change the computer from a domain controller to a domain member. You must uninstall SQL Server before you change the host computer to a domain member.
SQL Server failover cluster instances are not supported where cluster nodes are domain controllers.
SQL Server Setup cannot create security groups or provision SQL Server service accounts on a read-only domain controller. In this scenario, Setup will fail.
On Windows Server 2003, SQL Server services can run under a domain account or a local system account.
So, I would suggest you try to open up Windows Services list and changed the account for SQL Server service.
