DNS / DHCP Issues in Server 2008R2 Domain

Hi folks,
We’ve been having an ongoing issue for a while now in that some PCs and laptops (Win 7) in our company can’t be contacted by hostname i.e. if we try and RDP from one Windows 7 PC to another the RDP session fails as if the PC isn’t turned on, but it
is indeed turned on and connected to the network.
Even if we ping the host name of a particular computer that is on it fails to reply but if I go into DHCP I can find the hostname bit it has a different IP address assigned to it other than what is listed in DNS for that host name.
So for some reason when some computers get switched on and be allocated a new dynamic IP address through DHCP the corresponding record in DNS doesn’t seem to get updated meaning we need to go into DNS and manually amend the Host A record with the new
IP address that it has been given so we can RDP onto that computer using the hostname.
At present aging and scavenging isn’t enabled in our environment as we are afraid to in case it removes live DNS entries that just haven’t been turned on in a wee while. Does aging and scavenging just ignore static DNS entires and does aging and
scavenging work in DHCP as well?
One other thing I noticed is that if I delete an incorrect DNS Host A record and create it manually and assign the hostname and the correct IP address it says static rather than having a timestamp on it. When I create the new record I always click on our
domain in the Forward Lookup Zone and on creation I always select Create the associated pointer (PTR) record so not sure why the manual record doesn’t get a time stand.
So any help/advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bonemister

Hi David,
Thanks for your reply and for clarifying those things for me. Unfortunately in my workplace when I add a manual DNS Host A record it does become a static entry and doesn't have the '0'
you mention, do you have any idea why that would be as I'm worried about it affecting things if I were to enable aging and scavenging.
Is it possible to just enable aging and have it remove entries before a time of my choosing or does scavenging need to be enabled also?
I still can't understand why the relationship between DHCP and DNS isn't working correctly. Sure if DNS has an A record for a computer and the IP address changes via DHCP there is bound to be
a way to setup DNS to be able to update the records it holds - do you know if my reading of this is correct.
By the way, I can confirm that my adapters TCP/IP DNS settings are the same on of the PCs that had the DNS fault as in your screenshot the only different is we have the tick in Append parent suffixes... - would that make a difference.
Thanks also for that other link, it seems very interesting and I'll have a good read through it carefully before doing anything!!
Thanks again for you reply and I look forward to seeing any responses.
Regards,
Bonemister

Windows Server 2012 as NTP Server for Windows Server 2008R2 Domain Controller

We have one domain with 3 Windows Server 2008R2 DC's. Our Edge router is configured to get the time from the internet, and was our timesource for the PDC emulator. But lately we have migrated our major routers to Cisco IOS15, and now the timeservice on the
PDCe is unable to fetch the time. This is a known bug, as you can read here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ja-JP/b16de048-8642-4799-b85a-ad092e17dd47/windows-server-2012-ntp-version-compatibility
Now I've found out that Windows Server 2012 does sync with the router. That's our DirSync server, and is in the same VLAN as our DC's. So I thought: I'll set up the Windows Server 2012 as new timeserver, so our PDCe can sync with that server. (Compony
policy is that DC's don't talk to the internet). Everything seems alright.
I've set:
w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:<IP of router>,0x8 /syncfromflags:manual
w32tm /config /reliable:yes
Changed the registry with:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CC\SERVICES\W32TIME\TIMEPROVIDERS\NTPSERVER - Enabled:1
HKLM\SYSTEM\CC\SERVICES\W32TIME\Config - AnnounceFlags:A
And stopped and started the W32Time service. I can see that the Windows 2012 server is fetching the correct time, and checked with NBTSTAT -NA that it's listening on port 123.
But our PDCe doesn't sync. (also changed the config so it has the 2012 server as timesource). Get the EventID 47:
Time Provider NtpClient: No valid response has been received from manually configured peer <w2012server> after 8 attempts to contact it. This peer will be discarded as a time source and NtpClient will attempt to discover a new peer with this DNS
name. The error was: The peer is unreachable.
What more can I try?

It only shows me the 3 DC's:
DC04.domain.local *** PDC ***[[::1]:123]:
    ICMP: 0ms delay
    NTP: +0.0000000s offset from DC04.domain.local
        RefID: 'LOCL' [0x4C434F4C]
        Stratum: 1

        RefID: W8D-VW-DC04.domain.local [10.x.x.x]
        Stratum: 2
Warning:
Reverse name resolution is best effort. It may not be
correct since RefID field in time packets differs across
NTP implementations and may not be using IP addresses.

Windows 7 PC locking out domain user in Windows Server 2008r2 domain

I have reviewed dozens of related questions, but none have given me an answer that works on this situation.
We replaced an XP desktop with a Windows 7 desktop. It keeps locking out just user(of over 25 migrated). I have disabled the Windows 7 credentials, made sure the patches were in place, there are no other devices-wireless or otherwise.
The users pc has a kvm attached for another system, we have a Windows 2008r2 server. The user does not save any passwords, I have make changes recommended in the registry. They do have a couple mapped drives. Logs show that it is the users
pc that is causing the lockout, but much of the users time they are on the other system. We have 4 other users that have the exact same setup but are not having any issues. It happens several times a day and I must unlock their password on the
ad. Sometimes if we wait 45 min or so it will unlock itself. Strange considering settings lockout user after 5 bad passwords and lock them out for 120 minutes.
I have tried virtually everything I have read relating to this issue in Win7, 2008r2.
User is getting frustrated and so am I!.
Thank you.

Any issues with server 2008R2 being a backup AD when the Primary AD is a 2003 that was upgraded from NT

Someone recently told me if a customer has a Windows 2003 server that originally came from NT which was upgraded to Windows 2000, then upgraded to 2003 as their primary AD, if you add a 2008R2 server as a backup AD, it will upgrade the forest, but there
is an issue with the global catalog not properly replicating to the 2008R2 backup server and thus if the primary Windows 2003 server were to crash the backup 2008R2 server will not be able to authenticate users.
Can you tell me if this is true? It seems rather odd to me that if the 2008R2 is able to become a backup controller without any errors and does not report any AD or replication errors in the event log that it would not work if the primary AD failed.
Thoughts?

This is not true & never heard/seen of anything as such. The AD database either on windows 2003 or 2008 R2 contains similar objects & attributes, but few groups are only created when you transfer PDC role to windows 2008 & above DC esp if you
are using RODC.Also, there is no concept of primary & secondary DC from windows 2000 & above. PDC & BDC concepts existed in windows NT not any more.
The DC with GC role have bit more information because it contains partial information of the objects in other domain too. So, i would be taking backup of the windows 2008 R2 DC. As long as DLF/FFL is not enhanced you can run windows 2003 & 2008 R2 DC
in coexistence.
My suggestion would be transfer FSMO role on the windows 2008 R2 DC becasue may be at some point of time you would get rid of windows 2003 DC to enjoy full features of windows 2008 R2 AD.

Datetime issue SQL Server 2008R2

My server has
System Locale en-gb; English (United Kingdom)
Input Locale en-gb; English (United Kingdom)
SQL account @@language is British
I can insert the value '2013-01-18 16:05:21.683' into a DATETIME2 field but when trying to insert the same value into a DATETIME field I get the following error
Msg 242, Level 16, State 3, Line 1
The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.
I can insert the value '2013-01-18T16:05:21.683' into the datetime field OK.
Why does it allow the insert into datetime2 but not datetime?
Thanks

Thanks everyone for looking at this. I know how I can get around the issue
I just wanted to know why entering the same value string into a datetime2 field works but doesn't into a datetime?
Both statements will be using the same language and dateformat settings. I would expect both to work or both to fail, not one works and one doesn't.
Works
declare @datetime2 datetime2
set @datetime2 = '2013-01-18 16:05:21.683'
select @datetime2
Fails
declare @datetime datetime
set @datetime = '2013-01-18 16:05:21.683'
select @datetime
Ok to explain that please see below explanation from books online
datetime
ANSI and ISO 8601 Compliance
datetime is not ANSI or ISO 8601 compliant.
from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187819.aspx
datetime2 (from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb677335.aspx)
ANSI and ISO 8601 Compliance
The ANSI and ISO 8601 compliance of
date and time apply to
datetime2.
and this is what date and time says for ANSI compliance
date (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb630352.aspx)
ANSI and ISO 8601 Compliance
date complies with the ANSI SQL standard definition for the Gregorian calendar: "NOTE 85 - Datetime data types will allow dates in the Gregorian format to be stored in the date range 0001–01–01 CE through 9999–12–31 CE."
The default string literal format, which is used for down-level clients, complies with the SQL standard form which is defined as YYYY-MM-DD. This format is the same as the ISO 8601 definition for DATE
time (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb677243.aspx)
Using hour 24 to represent midnight and leap second over 59 as defined by ISO 8601 (5.3.2 and 5.3) are not supported to be backward compatible and consistent with the existing date and time types.
The default string literal format (used for down-level client) will align with the SQL standard form, which is defined as hh:mm:ss[.nnnnnnn]. This format resembles the ISO 8601 definition for TIME excluding fractional seconds.
So as such it turns out that datetime2 merges ANSI format for date and time which is YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss whereas datetime is not ANSI complaint and will only accept date values in string literal formats as per below
ISO 8601
YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss[.mmm]
YYYYMMDD[ hh:mm:ss[.mmm]]
ie either with T as time part separator or without - characters in the date part

2008 R2 PDC with DNS, File and Print Server Roles

Hi all,
we have a brand new Canon iRA7260 setup on 2008 R2 print server, which is also our DC, DNS, DHCP and File Server with latest PCL5c drivers downloaded from Canon's website as recommended at that time by the canon technician who assembled the
machine. All our laptops and desktops are running Windows 7 64-bit and after creating a GPO everyone got connected to the printer no problem, the printer has a static IP, same subnet as the print server and PDC, printer's port has been setup to RAW
and to spool documents, driver isolation setup to default.
All users are setup for secure print, so every print job they send to the printer stays on the printer until they walk up to the machine and release it by punching in a department's pin. Everything works great except for every morning a get a few complaints
that the jobs sent to the printer did not appear in the secure print folder. There is no errors of any kind on workstations and all I see in the print job logs on the print server is that document been spooled, printed and deleted. The strange thing is that
the size of the document that disappears is always shown as 0 bytes in size and 1 page long. And the whole process of spooling printing and deleting happens within 1 second according to logs. There is no errors or warnings in the log except for informational
events.
I just discovered that what actually fixes this issue for me is not even restarting the print spooler on the print server, but just login into the print server from my workstation via RDP with admin credentials. Once I login into the server remotely,
every print job sent to the printer afterwards from every workstation in our office appears as usual in users secure print mailboxes. Users don't even have to reboot their work stations, everything just starts working as usual. There is no overnight activities
on that server as all our staff leaves the offices by 8 p.m. the latest and the only thing that is running overnight is the Symantec's Backup Executive backup jobs. Is it possible that a back up job could somehow affect the print server/print driver settings
or put it into a "sleep" mode so it would require a domain admin login to the server to bring it back into operational state?

Hi, the print server had default permissions set after the role was installed. I just added domain users and authenticated users with print and view server rights. I don't think this is a problem though because Samsungs Brothers and Xerox printers
are working. It looks like some process that runs at night on the print server disallows users to print to the Canon printer when they come in in the morning. Login remotely with admin credentials into the 2008 R2 that has print server role installed and this
canon printer deployed via GPO fixes this immediately for all users. After the printer works fine until the last staff leaves the office. However when I come in in the morning everyone reports to me the same problem which again I'm able to fix by login with
my domain admin credentials. Could this be due to some special permissions that canon drivers require to be added that I'm not aware of? Or could this be caused by the overnight Backup Executive 2010 R3 backup job that kicks in at 9 p.m. every night?
Thanks

Recreate DNS/DHCP in Suse10sp3+OES2sp3

Hi,
I am currently running DNS/DHCP on an old Netware 6.5sp8 server. I want to
recreate a new Suse10 Oes2 DNS and DHCPC objects and start everything fresh.
(not too many subnets etc to create)
So my question is, can I just delete all the old subnets, DNS/DHCP objects
and server etc. Remove eDir off the Netware box and then shut it down.
Install DNS/DHCP in Yast on the new server and create new subnets, recreate
server etc.
Have I left out anything ....
Regards
John

Technically yes you can do the above but actually for DHCP on OES2
you're going to have to (re)create objects anyway since DHCP on OES2
uses a different format than DHCP on NetWare.
Please also note the miggui migration tool can handle migration of DHCP
from NetWare to OES2 (it's improved since I last tried it and had to
write my own Perl script).

OES2 SP3 DNS/DHCP Console

Just a quick note that currently, the latest DNS/DHCP Console isn't
available for download on Novell's site. You have to get it off of your
OES2 SP3 server instead.
http://servername/welcome/client-software.html
Then you can follow TID 7006450 to configure it so you can view leases.

If you do not have the novell-dnsdhcp-javaconsole RPM installed but do
have access to the OES2 SP3 media (and don't want to install DNS/DHCP on
a server just to get the latest JavaConsole) then on a Linux box you can
extract the latest code via:
rpm2cpio /path/to/novell-dnsdhcp-javaconsole-2.0.1-0.33.<arch>.rpm |
cpio -idmv
(where <arch> is i586 or x86_64 depending on 32- or 64-bit - note same
files included in both)
You can then take the relevant DNSDHCP_SA.zip file and use it to install
the JavaConsole on your admin workstation(s).

Communication between the DNS/DHCP Manager and OES Server

No communication between the DNS/DHCP Manager Console and OES server (status,start,stop)
The screenshot shows the tab "DHCP (OES Linux)" in the DNS / DHCP Manager console
in the bottom of the image it shows the state of the DHCP servers.
allDHCP.JPG
The dhcp service is started on all these servers
You can see that the status is known only for four servers.
The button "start/stop DHCP service" works fine on this servers and
the dhcp service can be canceled and also restarted
But the status of the "dhcp service" is not recognized for all the other DHCP servers
and so we can not start or stop dhcp service on these servers.
All servers were installed at different times (last three years) with OES11 and
are upgraded to OES11SP2 with all patches.
The server keto (DHCP_keto) is a new installation OES11SP2 few days ago.
All OES servers were set up identically from me. LDAP, LUM, DMS, DHCP works fine.
Which service on the OES server is responsible for
communication (status indicator) between the DNS/DHCP Manager and the OES serve?
How the status query is performed by the DNS/DHCP Manager?
How can I test the communication to the server on the client (console)?
Which configurationfiles I should be compare on the server?
Thanks in advance

Single server as Soft AP, DC, DNS, DHCP for a small office

The server is running 2012 R2 Foundation with a wired network for internet (Comcast). It has a WiFi adapter so it can host a wireless network (as a Soft AP). The WiFi host has a static IP 1.1.1.1.
On the server I have setup AD, DNS, and DHCP services (all bind to that static IP).
All clients need to connect server and internet via WiFi, and join the domain for work.
But it looks like the DHCP/DNS services don't like the virtual adapter - although all clients can connect, they cannot get their IP.
Without AD/DNS/DHCP I can share internet connection with ICS perfectly, so I think the hosted WiFi network is setup correctly.
I tried to remove the DHCP service, and use ICS to assign IP - it works, but clients cannot see the DNS server and thus cannot join AD.
What am I missing? Thanks for your help!

It is never a good idea to run a DC with two NICS. It causes all sorts of problems. (The only exception was SBS server which was designed as a one-box solution). Also, a domain will not run behind ICS. If you are running a domain, the domain clients
must use the local DNS (on the DC) for DNS, not the DNS relay system of ICS. RRAS/NAT will work because you can configure it so that it does not run its own DHCP function. ICS is not configurable.
Even if you overcome that problem, you still have the multihomed DC problem. It really isn't worth the effort to save a few bucks.

Dear Sir
My name is sandeep and i have a technical issue with MS office Outlook 2007 standard. the problem is i have windows 8.1 pro. and i have installed office 2007 standard on it. i have also joined this windows 8.1 to Domain Network(I have

Hi,
Did it work correctly before when logging in with domain user account? If so, please try opening Control Panel > Credential Manager and remove the cached credential entry of the Outlook account, and then restart Outlook to test the issue again.

Multiple Sites - Single domain - Server 2008r2

Hi,
I have six (6) sites all connected to a Head Office site by a high speed VPN. Currently all use different domain names on their local servers but with new hardware coming i would like to have all sites share the one single domain name for simplicity.
Head Office has two (2) AD Servers configured handling DNS, DHCP (split scope) etc, both are GC's for redundancy.
For the branches i was considering setting these up as Secondary AD servers with the Head Office domain and as GC's too. Each branch server will have their own DHCP scope for their networks and DNS forwarded to Head Office AD servers. Each branch server
will also be used for file and printer sharing.
I need to make sure local users to the branch servers authenticate on their own AD server and not hit Head Office which would slow down the process a little.
Is the above the correct way to do this?
Cheers.

Sounds like you want to configure a Hub and Spoke model, with the Spokes being the branch offices. This is a good topology. By default when a branch office is configured the DC for that spoke (Defined by the subnets in that physical site) the
dcLocator process on each client will default to the local DC unless there are problems that force the client to reach out. As far as forwarding there is no such thing from a DC perspective but there is from a DNS perspective.
So after you build out your new domain just make sure you follow the best practice for Sites and Serviecs and you should be good to go.

My domain add WWW will redirect to DNS server's Domain, IE works ok,What's the reason

I have a website, and I had added both @ and WWW A record on host. I set the domain as the home page, They all work ok in IE, WWW failed work in Firefox. What are the reasons?
//My domian is http://www.hey-deals.com, hey-deals.com works fine, but http://www.hey-deals.com cannot work in Firefox! It redirect to DNS server's domain, how to set?
Thanks!

I have Windows capability but have never used it. I can't imagine anyone using anything other than Pages for Word Processing, etc. I use Safari and Firefox for Browsing. I use Safari primarily and Firefox occassionally. I have not used Internet Explorer for years and years. In fact, I was sort of surprised when I learned that some people do still use Internet Explorer.
I wasn't sure whether or not there was an Ultra-Safe way to go about checking to discover whether or not Apple Users had to worry about a problem with this particular bug.
Although there IS a link provided in the Denver Post's on-line version of this particular news article, I hated to click on a strange link - even if it was provided by the local newspaper. It is just as easy for the local newspaper to be fooled by bogus links as it is for anyone else to be fooled.
My understanding from friends is that there are a whole lot of local newspapers - all across the country - who are currently running this news article - or an article very similar to it.
So it would seem to me that a whole lot of Apple users all across the country might suddenly be wondering whether or not they have anything to worry about - and whether or not there was an Ultra-Safe way for Apple users to check all of this out.
I contacted my service provider about this issue but, so far, have not heard anything back from them.
Thanks for the response.
Sincerely,

DNS/DHCP app no longer sees DNS/DHCP server.

When I moved the majority of my Netware 6 servers to OES-NW last year, I started using iManager to handle admin duties for DNS and DHCP.
With a planned move to OES-L coming up, I tried accessing both services using the DNS/DHCP java console.
While I am able to log into that console, I am unable to see my DNS/DHCP server or any of the expected components for either service (DHCP pools, zone records, etc...).
I have tried both the console that is installable from the server and the newer LDAP-based version.
I have tried both 32 and 64-bit versions on XP and Windows 7, respectively.
Since I want to move those services to OES/Linux and the java console is the only mechanism that can administrate the services on that platform, I am perplexed.
My needs are simple, and I could easily move those duties to a SUSE server or even a Windows server, but that is not my preference.
Any ideas on where to begin troubleshooting are welcome.

You have more than one DNS-DHCP locator object in your tree, and the
console is picking up a/the empty one. Find the proper object (look at
the other tab in consoleone or imanager to see if it's connected with
servers zones and the like), and delete the superflouos ones.
This is an *extremely* common problem when OES gets introduced into a
tree, as it by default creates new locator objects in the server
container, if it's not configured otherwise.

System Cache Issues with Windows Server 2008R2

Hi,
I'm trying to deploy Java version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_14-b03) on a new Windows Server 2008R2 installation. I want to use the system cache feature and have used it successfully on Windows XP workstations and Windows 2003 servers in the past. I even got it to work on a test Win Server 2008R2 server earlier this week. But on my production machine I can't get the system cache to configure.
I installed Java as usual and it installed into the Program Files(x86) directory. I copied my deployment files to the c:\windows\sun\java\deployment directory.
Deployment.config contains:
deployment.system.config=file\:/c\:/windows/sun/java/deployment/deployment.properties
Deployment.properties contains:
deployment.user.cachedir=C\:\\Program Files\\HCN
deployment.user.cachedir.locked
deployment.system.cachedir=C\:\\Program Files\\HCN
deployment.javaws.shortcut="NEVER"
deployment.javaws.autodownload="NEVER"
Not sure what's missing here especially since it worked fine the other day.
Both of these servers are virtual, VMware ESX 3.5 and were created from the same template. Only real difference is the production system will be a XenApp application server so it has XenApp installed.
Error I'm getting is that in Javaws it reports that the system cache is not configured and every time I launch my application it has to download from the source because we are deleting the local profiles when the user logs out.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Linn

No.
You could even use HP-UX on the DEV system - as long as you're able to share a common directory to ensure transporting it's not a problem. Transports are OS and DB independent.
However, memory management and security in Windows 2008 changed significantly, you may have to use different configurations for W2K8 vs. W2K3.
