Disabling Firefox 9 Proxy Connection settings using GPO (in Server 2008)

I am planning to disable Proxy Server settings in the connection settings in the Firefox options. I downloaded "firefoxdefaults & firefoxlock". Made these changes in the GPO (mentioned below)
Computer Settings
1. Delete Private Data cookies
2. Phishing Protection - Enabled.
3. Proxy Settings - Disabled
4. HomePage - Enabled.
5. Extension and Theme Installation - Preference State (Locked) & Allow Addin Installation _ Disallowed.
User Settings
6. Proxy Settings - Disabled.
GPO didnt apply properly. Can you please let me know if there is any other options there to disable proxy settings. Hoping to see your message.

Hi,

If it is not the case, this may be an issue with your proxy setup, if you use a proxy server, try turning it off in your windows network settings.

I want to disable Internet access to user using GPO

I am using Win Server 2008 R2, I want to disable the users from accessing Internet which are in that OU. Can anyone tell me how is it possible ?

Hi,
Disabling Internet access using software on the client is inherently difficult. The client isn't aware of what is an internal resource (like an Intranet page for example) as opposed to an Internet resource. You can use GPOs to disable specific programs
(like browsers) or to change how traffic is routed by the client but in order to effectively control who can and can't access the Internet, your best bet is a perimeter device like a proxy or firewall that sits between your clients and the Internet and is
integrated with AD so it can manage access to the Internet based on users, groups, IP addresses, etc.
The closest you can come without a proxy is to configure a proxy server address for those users using the Internet Explorer Maintenance component (found under User Configuration\Windows Settings). This proxy can either be a non existent address or
if you want more control over the error messages users get, it can be an internal web server with a page that provide a custom message. The same configuration will allow you to list specific URLs that are exempt in case you have specific web sites, internal
or external that must be available.
Note that this option will apply to all browsing, internal and Internet based, but will only impact IE. Internet access using other browsers or other software will not be impacted unless that software leverages the IE proxy configuration (which many
applications do).
Hope this helps,
Guy

Temporarily disable Digital Signature Checks to Install MS SQL Server 2008 with no Internet Access

I am attempting to install a licensed copy of MS SQL Server 2008 in a Private Enclave that does NOT have Internet access on a Win2008 R2 SP1 server (that is VM - thus I can't reboot and press F8 to select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement"
). The installation fails with an error of the vc_red.cab file being found either corrupt or a bad digital signature. The file is good, but the signature has an expiration of 2011. I understand that a DOTNET SDK v1.1 program called setreg.exe
will enable disabling the digital signature check, but I am not permitted to use that program.
I might be permitted to use the "Signtool.exe" utility, but it is not clear what command sequences are necessary to disable and then re-enable the Digital Signature checks.
I saw a thread that recommended using the command:
bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks ON
However, the comments indicated that this might not have worked.
Are there Registry settings I can use with regedit to make the necessary changes to be able to install the application? I anticipate running into this problem with other software when I do not have Internet connectivity. I already tried
downloading the Microsoft CRL files; updated the lists on the Server; and rebooted. This did not solve my problem.

Hi,
As far as I know, it is not recommended to disable digital signature check.
Since we are not familair with installing MS SQL server, please also refer to SQL forums below to see if experts there have more insights regarding the matter.

Re: Drive Mapping with GPO from Server 2008 R2 to Windows 7 Pro

Justin,
I didn't think of that. They are all OEM at the minute.
However, I've been testing the mappings using an RDS server with their credentials. There's nothing on that platform that would be causing a drive letter conflict.
Still at the drawing board I'm afraid.

Good morning Spice-heads,I've got an issue with GPO and drive mappings. They're set in the standard way, new GPO linked in the root of our domain - through User Configuration, Preferences, Windows Settings, Drive Maps.They're all set as below;
They have also been set with Item Level Targeting with security groups and set to run in users context.The issue I'm having is that some users are logging in, the policy is running without issue and all is fine. Other user are logging in and only receiving the home drive and a business wide share drive that is targeted to \Domain Users.I've looked at gpresult, there is nothing in there that I can see that would explain why the drives are not being mapped - help?!Thanks,Tonka

Remote Desktop Connection certification issue with Win Server 2008 R2

When connecting to Windows 2008 server R2, from Windows 7, Vista and Mac OS 10.6.7 via Remote Desktop Connection, i am getting a 'Server Name on the Certificate is Incorrect' error.
if i click connect, i can still connect to the machine, due to a 3rd party managing the server, this doesn't look very professional on my part...
The server is a standalone machine and is not currently on a domain. RDC is only used for management purposes.

Hi,
This certificate error is normal, because your client do not trust the certificate which is installed on the terminal server. To avoid this issue,
you can export the certificate and import this certificate into the client side (computer account).
Thanks.

Multiple Home Page settings not working in Server 2008 R2

I have Windows Server 2008 R2 as a DC & ADC is same 2008 R2 server both with SP1 with IE 11 installed
other Group policies are there & running well.
I had setup two home pages but on user machines its showing & running only one Primary home page.
I have one my intranet site & another home page is our website.
I have enable "Disable changing Primary Home page" & kept my intranet page there.
I have enable "Disable changing Secondary Home page" & kept my website page there.
After gpupdate I can see only one page in users Internet settings. My website page is not at all loading !!!
Scenario 2 :-
I have selected not configured option for "Disable changing Primary Home page" & apply.
I have enable "Disable changing Secondary Home page" and kept Both Intranet & my website page address there.
after Gpupdate its loading 3 pages. Twice same intranet page & one website page.
In group policy configured only two & loading 3 pages?
I need it must show only two pages. Tried all the ways & seems frustrating with Windows Server 2008 R2 Group Policy.
Does anyone succeeded in the multiple home i.e. must load Only TWO pages in the IE browser via Group policy.
All users have 64 bit Windows 7 OS with IE 10 & IE 11 browser installed & updated. Servers has IE 11

Hi,
As suggested by Martin, the easy way to do this is GPP.
>>I have selected not configured option for "Disable changing Primary Home page" & apply.
>>I have enable "Disable changing Secondary Home page" and kept Both Intranet & my website page address there.
Before going further, we should set both these settings as Not Configured. Then we go to
User Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Internet Settings.
After creating a new Internet Settings item, we can configure the homepages in the blank on the
General tab. Note: to make the settings effective, we need to press
F5 to make the line under the blank green. At last, we can run
gpupdate/force to refresh the policy.
Best regards,
Frank Shen

P.S. the proxy server service starts fine, it's just the admin service that won't start....

How much memory does SQL Server 2008R2 Standard use on Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit?

Hi,
can anyone tell me how much RAM will really be used by SQL Server?
72 GB are currently installed. As Windows is only able to use 32 GB is SQL Server able to use the other 40GB + the unused part of the first 32 GB?
Thank you very much!
BR Matthias

Sorry, I don´t understand your post ?!
Maybe the question is if SQL Server is able to allocate more memory than the installed Windows Version is able to?
Since your OS is Windows Standard edition(X64) it cannot use or a process running cannot use more than 32 G of memory.
Now SQL server can use as much memory possible but it is now limited by Windows as your OS can only see 32 G.So it would be good part from your side to go to sp_configure and set 25 G for SQL server and can leave rest for OS( it just a figure not a actual
value i have given,actual you have to calculate by yourself or refer to below link) .
http://mssqlwiki.com/2013/04/22/max-server-memory-do-i-need-to-configure/
As Andrew said after 32 G what ever memory you put it is waste.
Hope this helps

Hi SYaGCi,
Denis is right this is actually documented in the Supported Platforms Documentation:
"Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are new platform support additions in Service Pack 3 which are only available for support on the SP3 full release install of SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise. The SP3 patch only release of SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise does not provide support for these two new platforms."

Installing terminal server role on windows server 2012 to use for Windows server 2008 R2 machines.

Dear
Our current setup is as follows :-
Active Driectory is in Windows Server 2003.
Citrix Xenapp version 5.6 with all Xenapp servers in Windows Server 2003
Now we are upgrading our Citrix farm to 6.5 and all Xen app servers into Windows Server 2008R2.
We did the configuration and testing; everything works fine except the terminal server is not configured which gives the pop always for the expiry date.
We do have license for 2012 terminal server which is not possible to downgrade for some reason and managent need to install new Windows Server 2012 for terminal server and activte the licenses.
My question is :-
1 Whether Windows Server 2008 R2 will get RDS cal license from Windows Server 2012 terminal server (RDS CAL license is of windows server 2012).
2. What is the role and features I need to activate in Server 2012 in order to use for Citrix 6.5 (only applicable fetaure for getting the RDS cal license.)
3. Whether I can add this 2012 server into domain. Is it possible to add 2012 server into Windows Server 2003 AD.
Your early reply is highly appreciated.

Thanks Jeremy..
I got exactly the right answers I am lookoing for ..
I successfully activated the terminal service on the newly created Windows 2012 Server and installed the retail license pack we had of 50+50+25 keys . It later shows the 125 keys successfully applied.
when I tried to link the Xenapp (Windows Server2008R2) to the license server, it first gives me error that session host service role is not installed on the ternial server. So I installed that role also in the terminal server.
But now its anothee error as below.
RDS Cals are not available for this Remote Desktop Session host server, and licensing Diagnostic has identified licensing problems for the RD session host server.
1. Is it wrong I did by installing session host server role into the terminal server (but really it gave me error like 'session host server role is not running on the license server' when I tried to link the license server).
2. Is it the problem that Windows Server 2008 R2 will not get license from 2012 RDS CAL license.
3. whether Clearing house will take time to update the license.
Your reply is highly appreciated. I need to know whether any other way I can link the Windows Server 2008 R2 Servers (Xenapp) to the license server.

Consequences of disabling NetBIOS over TCP/IP in a Windows Server 2008 environment

Is NetBIOS required in a network with 2008 Servers and Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers?
There are two 2003 and one 2000 server.
What functionality would we loose?
What are the major server functions or major applications that use NetBIOS.
Is there any way to find if any application or server is relying on NetBIOS.
Any help is much appreciated.

Generally it is the browser service that populates network neighborhood. This technology is no longer used with newer OS like server 2008, windows 7/8.

How to connect java project to sql server 2008 r2 database

i want to create an java application which has to create a database and later access it. My problem is that i am not able to connect sql server 2008 r2 database driver on to the netbeans.i have sql server 2008 r2 installed on my system.please
suggest me the step by step procedure to establish the connection

Hi ENG,
To establish a connection to SQL Server from a Java project, you have to download the JDBC driver for SQL Server from
here.
After extracting the jar files(like sqljdbc.jar) from the above link, add the driver to the netbeansIDE.
Test establishing a connection with the below Java Class.
import java.sql.*;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] srg) {
String driverName = "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"; //load the jdbc driver
String dbURL = "jdbc:sqlserver://localhost:1433; DatabaseName=test"; //connection string to the db hosted on localhost
String userName = "sa"; //user name
String userPwd = "123456"; //password
Connection dbConn;
try {
Class.forName(driverName);
dbConn = DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL, userName, userPwd);
System.out.println("Connection Successful!"); //print Connection Successful! if connection establishes
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
A demonstration video from Youtube for you reference.

Since this is a question regarding Java, I suggest you post your subsequent questions to a java dedicated forum. It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.

Max Memory Settings Not Working (SQL Server 2008 R2)

I have 12 GB ram in sql server 2008 R2 of 64 bit server (Windows 2008 R2).
I have set the Max memory setting to 12288 MB Memory setting.
Still the usage of sql server process is around 14 GB.
Is Max memory setting not working?
I have also enabled AWE after all it is 64 bit.
Thanks

Problem is that: my OS is halting due to this RAM. I have 16 GB of ram and assigning 12 GB to SQL SERVER and rest is using for OS. Please guide me how to get information about actual memory usage from all sql server processes. like
all CLR etc
Hi,
Are you also running SSIS/SSAS/SSRS with database engine services. What do you mean by OS is halting ?
If you want to check whether SQL Server is facing memory crunch please have a look at perfmon counters from
this link
Sys.dm_OS_memory_clerks would be DMV helpful in tracking memory utilized by various processes
I have also enabled AWE after all it is 64 bit. Thanks
Please note AWE doe snot have any notable affect in 64 bit system.
Below will tell you memory used by SQLCLR
select single_pages_kb + multi_pages_kb + virtual_memory_committed_kb from sys.dm_os_memory_clerks where type = 'MEMORYCLERK_SQLCLR'
Below query will give you memory consumed by various clerk
SELECT type, SUM(multi_pages_kb)
FROM sys.dm_os_memory_clerks
WHERE multi_pages_kb <> 0
GROUP BY type
ORDER BY SUM(multi_pages_kb) DESC
Can you reduce max server memory to 11 G and see if it gives some relief
