DNS, WINS, CompMgmt.msc Remote Management 2003 -- 2008-R2

My client has 3 WINS Servers which are (generally) replicating (push/pull partners all around).
In the MMC for WINS (and other services/consoles, CompMgmt and DNS specifically) we can add and connect from the 2008-R2 to the 2003 WINS (etc.) Servers.
From the 2003 to the 2008-R2 the connection fails with "Access denied".
The AD Users and Computers has no such issue.
I initially presumed that it must be either a port filter or some (perhaps obscure) registry/GPO security setting.
FYI: All of this is through an RDP session.
Any ideas on how to check and troubleshoot this?

We have the local firewall turned off and all indications are that the switch/router firewalls are not blocking any of this. (These are all within one organization and and the checks that I have made have shown everything to be open.)
What specifically would need to be open for such remote management? Feel free to send me to some web resource etc. but so far I haven't found anything that would give me a definitive checklist.
I am pretty good with firewalls and such, good enough to be fairly certain that this is an open network, but also good enough to know that SOMETHING could be filtered that I am unaware of.
And it does actually say, "Access" denied.

How to assign OIM Remote Manager as a service on Win 2003 ?

I want to assign OIM Remote Manager as a service on Win 2003. I've used instsrv.exe to install srvany.exe and configured Parameters-Application, Parameters-AppDirectory and Parameters-AppParameters string values using parameters from remotemanager.bat file. I've obviously make same configuration mistakes because when I try to start service which I create, I can't see any new java application and Remote Manager log stays calm.
Would you please give me advices how to configure Windows registry to start Remote Manager as a service.
Regards
VeePee

Hi folks,
I am a little bit confused about this.
The metalink note explains how to convert remote manager to a windows service using the java service wrapper (and noted that this approach applies to version 9.0.1)
It is explicitly declared that OIM’s Remote Manager can run as a Windows Service in OIM 9.1 datasheet (see: http://www.oracle.com/global/kr/download/pdf/ofm/OIM_DATASHEET.PDF) but admin/install guides does not include any configuration guidance about how to do it.
Is there an easier way for v 9.1 to install remote manager as a service or do we use Java Service Wrapper method for this version also ??
cheers

Windows Server 2008 - How to remotely manage account passwords?

I'm hoping to get direction on how to remotely manage 'user accounts' on Windows Server 2008 machines. The remote management would be from an automated perspective. For example, I have a custom application (maybe C#, Java, etc) that runs on one
server that makes connections to various 'Windows Server 2008' servers; and I want it to be able to do the following.
Query Windows Server 2008 box for full list of user accounts
Update password for user account
Lock account
Unlock account
Check policy information to find out when password may expire
I'm trying to find out what may already be available and running on Windows Server 2008 that I can take advantage to get this done programmatically.
-Wes

I agree with Mekac, the gallery should provide a lot of script of what you want to do.

I need to manage some 2008 R2 hypervisors from my Windows 8.1 system.

I need to remotely manage some Win 2008 R2 server VM's from my Windows 8.1 Wrk what version of the hyper V- manager should I download and install? The Version that came with my system throws an error message about the version of Hyper-Manager
cannot be used on Windows Server 2008.

J Fields,
As mentioned by DevOn99 , Managing Hyper-V on Windows 2008 R2 from Windows 8.1 would not be possible.
You would have to use Win7/Server 2008 R2/5nine Manager for Hyper.
More details on http://blogs.msdn.com/b/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2012/05/30/the-v2-wmi-namespace-in-hyper-v-on-windows-8.aspx

Guide to remote manage Hyper-V servers and VM's in workgroups or standalone

This guide is based on the following 3 products:
Windows server 2012 (core)
Windows 8
Hyper-V server v3 / Hyper-V server 2012
The following guide will enable you to:
1: remotely manage your Hyper-V Virtual Machines with Hyper-V manager
2: remotely manage your Hyper-V servers' firewall with a MMC snap-in.
3: remotely manage your Hyper-V server (2012) with server manager
! This should also work for Core installations of server 2012, but I haven't tried.
This guide is purely focussed on servers in a WORKGROUP, or as a stand alone.
I CAN NOT tell you what you need to do to get it working in a domain.
* You can run these commands straight from the console (Physically at the machine) or through RDP.
* You will need to be logged on as an administrator.
* Commands are listed in somewhat random order; I do however advise to follow the steps as listed.
* Commands with ? in front of them are only ment to be helpfull for troubleshooting,
* and to identify settings and changes made.
* Commands and instructions with ! in front of them are mandatory.
- server: means the server core or hyper-v server (non gui)
- client: means the machine you want to use for remote administration.
- Some commands are spread over 2 lines; be sure to copy the full syntax.
> To enable the Hyper-V manager to connect to your server, you need to perform the following 2 actions: (Assuming you have already installed the feature)
1:
! Client: Locate the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts file.
! right-click --> properties --> security
! click --> edit --> add --> YOURUSERNAME or Administrator --> OK
! then select this new user, and tick the "modify"-box under the "allow"-section.
! apply the change, and close.
! doubleclick the file, and open with notepad
! add the ip-address and name of your server (no // or other crap needed)
! Save the file
# I recommend putting a shortcut to this file on the desktop.
# If you change the ip-address of your server (e.g. move the server from staging to a live environment)
# you might forget to do so in the hosts file.
# Hyper-V manager, MMC, RSAT, and Server-manager all rely on the hosts-file to resolve the name.
# some of these might connect to their respective service on an i.p.-level, but some don't.
# This is the main reason you need to modify this file.
! USE AN ELEVATED CMD/POWERSHELL PROMPT TO CONTINUE !
# the next config needs to be done on windows 8.
# It seems that it's already preconfigured under server 2012
2:
! Client: dcomcnfg
! open component services --> computers
! right-click -> my computer -> properties
! select "COM SECURITY" tab
! under "ACCESS PERMISSIONS" select "edit limits"
! select "ANONYMOUS LOGON", and tick "remote access" under ALLOW
# Without this adjustment, you can't connect to your Hyper-V server
# with the Hyper-V manager if you're not in a domain.
> And if you haven't done so already... make sure you have enabled remote management number 4 on the Hyper-V server console.
> Next, is to get the MMC firewall snap-in working.
The reason for this, is to have a GUI available to configure it.
If you're happy without it, you may skip this and use a shell instead to do so.
? server: netsh advfirewall show currentprofile
# shows the current profile (public/domain/private) and its settings
# depending on your needs, you should set the right profile to fit your needs.
# You can easily do this when the MMC snap-in is done. (after you've followed these steps)
! server: netsh advfirewall set currentprofile settings remotemanagement enable
# enables remote management of the firewall on an application level
# (In other words: allows the firewall to be remotely managed)
! server: netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Windows Firewall Remote Management" new enable=yes
# allows remote management of the firewall, through the required firewall ports with TCP protocol.
# 4 rules will be updated to allow access: public & Domain, dynamic and endpoint-mapper.
# You can disable/add/change the rule from the MMC snap-in after finishing this guide.
# e.g. set the firewall through the MMC-GUI to only allow specific ip-addresses etc.
? server: netsh advfirewall firewall show rule all
# Shows a list of available rules, and their current state.
# when run from cmd, the list exceeds the maximum length for review.
# (from cmd,type:) start powershell, and run the command from there.
! Client: cmdkey /add:YOURSERVERNAME /user:USERNAMEONTHESERVER /pass:THEPASSWORDOFTHATUSER
# I recommend you to use a username with enough privileges for management
# All capital letters need to be replaced with your input
# CMD answers "credential added successfully" when you're done
! Client: locate MMC, and run it as an admin.
# In windows 8/2012, go to search and type MMC. Right-click the icon,
# and choose run as admin on the bar below.
! Client: application MMC: select "file" --> Add/remove snap-in
! --> (left pane) scroll down to "windows firewall" --> select and click "add"
! select "another computer"
! type the name of the server you want to manage (NO workgroup/ or //, just same name as you typed for cmdkey)
* Part 2 is done.
# Have a look by doubleclicking the firewall icon in the left pane.
# It looks and works the same as the GUI version that you are familiar with.
! Next is the Server Manager.
# Follow the steps listed to get your server listed and manageable in the server manager.
! Client: Open the created Firewall snap-in for your server.
! Find the 3 "Remote Event Log Management" entries in the list of INBOUND rules, and enable them.
! Open powershell --> in cmd windows, type: start powershell
! run the following line in powershell
! Client: in C:\Windows\system32> set-item WSMAN:\localhost\client\trustedhosts -value YOURSERVERNAME -concatenate
# WinRM Security Configuration.
# This command modifies the TrustedHosts list for the WinRM client. The computers in the TrustedHosts list might not be
# authenticated. The client might send credential information to these computers. Are you sure that you want to modify
# this list?
# [Y] Yes [N] No [S] Suspend [?] Help (default is "Y"): y
# I recommend to choose yes; unless you like to pull some more hairs...
! server: winrm qc
# WinRM service is already running on this machine.
# WinRM is not set up to allow remote access to this machine for management.
# The following changes must be made:
# Configure LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy to grant administrative rights remotely
# to local users.
# Make the changes? y / n
! select yes
! Client: open the server 2012 server manager
! click manage -> add server
! select the DNS tab, and type the name of your server
Done.
You can now manage your remote server through the familiar computer management GUI.
! Right-click your remote server, and select "Computer Management"
A few side notes:
? The Performance tab seems to list the local machine's performance, in stead of the remote servers'
? If you want Windows server backup, you need to right-click the server in the server manager, and select "add roles and features.
? it will then become available under the "computer management" of the remote server.
If you liked this guide you may thank my employer, Mr. Chris W.
for giving me the time to work it all out.
Cheers!

As a little update to the post, I'd like to add that replication, clustering and migration will not work in workgroup environments. Unless someone can provide an additional guide for this, I'd recommend anyone to no even bother to try.
To manage the standalone hyper-v server in a remote location over the internet, I would recommend the following:
Install windows 8 pro (x86 uses less resources!) as a vm on the host, and assign 2 network connections to it.
1 external (shared with host) (be sure you have a dedicated ip-address for it!)
1 internal connection.
What I did was this:
As soon as you've installed the win8 guest, proceed with the guide as described.
For the 1st step of the guide (hosts-file) use the ip-address you will later assign to the "internal" network switch of the host!
In my example, I'm using 10.0.0.1 for the host, and 10.0.0.2 for the guest.
To be clear: I first used the guide on a LAN-environment, and did all the steps from a "real" client to server on the LAN.
Then, installed the win8 guest on the host using the "real" clients' hyper-v manager over the LAN.
Next, assigned the 2 network connections to the VM, and configured them as follows:
external - as you would to be able to make your guest reach the internet.
internal - I used the following config:
ip-address: 10.0.0.2
subnet: 255.255.255.252
gateway - blank
dns - Blank
Now, when you get to the console of the hyper-v server (host) or RDP to it, go to network settings.
You'll see that the internal card has been added here as well.
Configure it as follows:
ip-address: static - 10.0.0.1
subnet: 255.255.255.252
gateway - blank
dns - blank
You should now be able to ping your guest (win8) on 10.0.0.2 if it's running.
Don't forget to enable ping response (option 4 on the host) to test connectivity the other way around as well (guest to host)
When you're done, you'll be able to RDP to the guest OS over the internet, and then connect to the host with server manager, hyper-v manager, and MMC.
Don't forget to enable each module on the hosts' firewall to make the snap-ins work!
Remote volume management requires your guest/client firewall INcoming ports to be enabled as well! not just the host.
Either update the firewall rules from the MMC gui as described in the guide, or use the following commands on the
hosts' powershell:
Enable the firewall rules with the command Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "USE_THE_COMMANDS_BELOW" (include the " " in the command)
Remote Service Management
Remote Volume Management
Remote Event Log Management
Remote Scheduled Tasks Management
Windows Firewall Remote Management
Windows Remote Management
You can get the list with Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName *management*
You can get the list with Get-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName *remote*

Server 2012 R2 - Remote Management Exception - Not working 100%

So,
I am spinning up a ton of VM's for the University I work at in preparation for migrating to 2012 completely and I discovered something interesting today.
The "Allow Remote Management from these subnets" option, only partially enables remote management. You still need to run the remote management enablement with NetSh (http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2008/06/05/how-to-enable-remote-administration-of-server-core-via-mmc-using-netsh.aspx)
for the certain functionality (Remote Firewall, VDS, FRS Options), which to me seems really weird.
Has anyone else experienced this?
----------------------------------------- Dan Sheppard

Hi Dan,
If you want to manage remote server core with MMC (Microsoft Management Console), we need to configure Windows Firewall firstly to allow MMC snap-in(s) to connect on the remote server core, since your servers are Server 2012 and newer, so we can also use
the powershell cmdlet instead of cmd netsh:
Enable-NetFirewallRule -DisplayGroup "Remote Service Management"
In addition, you can also use Windows Powershell to help you to remote access with Powershell Remoting, Powershell has substantial Modules and Cmdlets to help us to manage server.
For more detailed information to manage server core, please refer to this article:
Manage a Server Core Server

JDK for Remote Manager

Hello,
I'm facing a problem here, l'd be grateful if someone could help me.
I'm trying to install Remote Manager in an environment that has Windows Server 2003 64-bits as the OS and Intel Xeon as a processor. The objective is to make Oracle Identity Manager to connect to Microsoft Exchange 2007.
In Oracle Documentation I found the following instruction:
"f Microsoft Exchange 2007 is running on 64-bit Microsoft Windows Server, then you must install the 64-bit version of JDK 1.4.2_15 or JDK 1.5 before you install the Remote Manager."
Here is the link for the documentation: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11223_01/doc.910/e11198/deploy.htm#BGBDIEAE
The problem is that both versions of JDK don't offer support for Xeon processors and just JDK 1.6 can be installed on architecture x64. (Windows)
Here is the link for Sun Website wich shows the supported architectures for JDK 1.5: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/system-configurations.html
And for JDK 1.4.2_15: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/system-configurations.html
Does anyone had this problem ever? Hope I can find some help in here.
Regards,
Richard

The remote manager is has not been certified with JDK 1.6.
This basically leaves you with two choices:
1. Install JDK 1.6 and see if the remote manager runs. If so you have to make the decision of either running an uncertified configuration or try to force Oracle to certify this JDK.
2. Wait until Oracle certifies JDK 1.6
I would recommend trying to install JDK 1.6 and run a full set of tests. Then make the decision on if you want to go to production or not.
Best regards

Remote manager is not running but it is running as per DC

I have installed remote manager on windows 2008 R2 server recently to create exchange mail boxes. And I followed the instructions given in oracle documentation while installing this remote manager.
Windows 2008 server R2 is a 64 bit OS so installed 64 bit java version in it. OIM version is 9.1.0.
As we are trying to SSL connection to the remote machince, imported certificates on both OIM server and also on remote machine.
But when I try to provision exchange account for a user, the creation of mail box is getting failed at the task "CheckRemoteManager Connection" saying "Remote manager is not running". But in design console it says that the remote manager is running.
Here is the response from the task:
Response: Exchange remote manager not running
Response Description: Check if Remote Manager parameters are entered correctly
When I bypass the task "checkRemoterManager Connection" in the adatper "Create mail box" then I am getting the below error.
Response: error during JRMP connection establishment; nested exception is: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeExcept
Response Description: Unknown response received
Error Details:
Setting task status... "error during JRMP connection establishment; nested exception is: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeExcept" does not correspond to a known Response Code. Using "UNKNOWN".
Can you please let me know what might be the problem?

Have you followed all the steps properly ?
Have you imported Certificate as mentioned in the document ?
Try with restarting the OIM Server
Make sure your RM is running
Try to telnet RM from OIM machine.
Check xlconfig.xml file

In System Preferences- Sharing- Remote Management the address doesn't reflect the computer name.

Hi,
I have a dual boot system with two seperate hard drives, Lion and Snow Leopard. One drive has a name of mac-pro2 for Lion and mac-pro2sl for Snow Leopard. Something happened when I rebooted from Snow Leopard to Lion that in System Preferences->Sharing->Remote Management that the computer name had changed to the Snow Leopard computer name it has a address and name of mac-pro2sl. I have change the Computer Name: and it worked and was changed to mac-pro2 but Remote Management still has the address of mac-pro2sl and doesn't reflect the computer name. I can ssh into Lion with mac-pro2sl but I have a conflict with from other computers when I log in with a warning of "Remote Host Identification has Changed". How do you change the computer name for remote management and ssh?
I have changed the hostname and it reflects the change when you login, mac-pro2 for Lion. But when you ssh into Lion it requires mac-pro2sl not mac-pro2.
When I change the computer name it shows below that the name in "Remote Management: On" "computer using the address mac-pro2sl" is selected but then doesn't change but remains the same when the dialog closes. How do you change the address to reflect the computer name? Is there a command line utility?
Thanks for any help.

If this problem is due to DNS, look in your configuration. What is the number one DNS server address? Is it local, or is it on the Internet at large? Or post the Address here and folks can help you look it up.
192.168.yyy.zzz
10.xxx.yyy.zzz

How to remotely manage a Mac not on my network?

I'd like to remotely manage a Mac over the Internet. Specifically my mother's iMac, so when she loses Dock icons or can't find her Address book or something I can fix it from my location in another state. Simple things, but trying to explain it over the phone is generally unsuccessful. We're both running Snow Leopard. I can set things up initially on her Mac in person, and then I need something that requires no effort on her end for this to work. Thanks.

As Sijmons suggests, TeamViewer.com might be the easiest solution (and is frequently my suggestion). This is a secure connection.
Some alternatives. You get 2 free AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) accounts. Setup your iChat client with one AIM account, and then setup your Mom's iChat client with the other. Then you can use iChat Screen Sharing, as long as your Mom is available to approve the Screen Sharing request. As a bonus, you can text, audio, or video chat with your Mom over iChat. An Audio chat while using Screen Sharing will allow you to talk her through things while you demonstrate or watch her and provide feedback and corrections.
LogMeIn.com can be used free for personal use (secure connections used), but it does not provide file transfers (you could use something like Dropbox or insync (from Google) to do file transfers.
You could setup a Hamachi VPN (virtual private network) between your Mom's and your Mac (Hamachi.com free for personal use). Once you have Hamachi setup, you could then just use Mac OS X Screen Sharing. This is a secure connection.
A more complex approach is setting up your Mom's home router to port forward port 5900 (see portforward.com), then get a free dynamic DNS name from a service such as No-IP.com or DynDNS.org, and run a dynamic DNS updating client available from the service you get the dynamic DNS name from. Now you can use Finder -> Go -> Connect to server... -> vnc://your.moms.dynamic.dns.name. And if you also port forward port 548, you can do file sharing via afp://your.moms.dynamic.dns.name (down side is that this approach is not as secure, and it opens well known ports that might be attacked).
And for the really hardcore, you can port forward port 22 (ssh) and then create secure ssh tunnels that you use for screen and file sharing across the Internet.
