Documentation on Active Directory Domain Rename for VMware

Aplogies if my questions are elementary. Just getting started with VMware.
We are looking to update our virtualized Active Directory domain name. I have the documentation for that, but want to make sure I have the list of articles needed to make sure the VMware is properly updated as well.
I found the following documents:
configure host to use active directory:
https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.security.doc%2FGUID-63D22519-38CC-4A9F-AE85-97A53CB0948A.html
setting DNS configuration vmware
http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vcli.examples.doc%2Fcli_manage_networks.11.8.html
Is there anything else?
Which do I update first? The VMware info or the Active Directory.

Hi David,
Based on my experience, you’d better pay attention to the following  two points:
1. After you have completed the installation of Exchange 2010, you have to create an Accepted Domain of “uvwxyz.org”.
2. If you want to use Autodiscover, you need to configure the additional settings for “uvwxyz.org”. You could refer to the article below:
http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/exchange-server-2010/management-administration/exchange-autodiscover.html

  • The box indicating that this domain controller is the last controller for the domain is unchecked. However, no other Active Directory domain controllers for that domain can be contacted

    I have 2 domain controllers running 2003 server, server1 and server2. I ran dcpromo on server1 and removed AD and removed him from the domain and disconnected from network. I then added a 2012 server
    with the same name and IP address server1 with no problem. Replication from sites and services work fine on both controllers.
    The new 2012 server1 is GC. I transferred all FSMO roles to server1. Again no problem and replicating using sites and services. AD on server1 is populated correctly.
    Now what I had intended on doing was a dcpromo to remove server2 from the domain so I can then add another 2012 server. That is when I get the: "The box indicating that this domain controller is the last controller for the domain
     is unchecked. However, no other Active Directory domain controllers for that domain can be contacted.
    I have DNS installed on both servers and both look good with replicating there. Strange thing is when on the 2012 server within DNS if I right click and connect to another DNS server I can add server2 just fine but from server2 adding server1 it tells me it
    is not available.
    Help please!

    Hi,
    As there is server 2012 DC (SERVER1) DC is operational in a domain then "This domain controller is the last controller for the domain" should be remain unchecked when you demote SERVER2 DC. 
    If you are getting error "Active Directory domain controllers for that domain can be contacted" while demoting SERVER2 DC then check the DNS pointing on both as per below article, disable windows firewall on all DC, less possiblities but worth to check if both
    are different site then check the ports are open on firewall.

    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/584.active-directory-replication-over-firewalls.aspx
    run “ipconfig /flushdns & ipconfig /registerdns“, restart DNS server and NETLOGON service on each DC and try to demote server2 DC.
    If issue reoccurs, post dcdiag /q result.
    NOTE: If initial replication was completed between both DC (new 2012 and old DC) then you may remove the server2 DC from Active Directory forcefully (DCPROMO /FORCEREMOVAL) and perform metadata cleanup.

  • How to Name the Active Directory Domain Service for Local Server

    Hello to everyone, I am Karthick from India, currently I am working as a System Engineer in a esteemed institution.  So far we have only workgroup network setup now we are planning to migrate our workgroup to domain network.  So we planned to install
    Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit server on Wipro Netpower Z1531 server and we have totally 150 systems in our premises and also a broadband connection with 512 kbps download speed and 144 kbps upload speed.
    My questions starts here,
    1.) what should be my FQDN name for my first domain controller? Our server will be connected to internet for downloading the updates only, so what settings I have to configure?
    2.) We don't want other clients communicate with our server i.e. outside of our premises via router or any other.
    3.) If suppose in future if we want to access our server from outside either from different town or different country what should I do for that access
    Thanks in advance
    S.R. Karthick

    FQDN name for my first domain controller
    - FQDN is (by default) is your server name + FQDN of the Domain name
    Domain Name - you can select whatever you want.  It is an internal name.   However, you can also, configure to match with your external domain name. Do you some search of
    Split DNS structure.
    My recommendation is to review the IPD guide for AD. You should be able to get all information.

  • Active Directory domain controller could not be contacted

    Hello
    Help please.
    I am trying to add a new server (2008) to domain 'bridgelimited.local' - only one DC (2003) doing everything at the moment. The plan is to add the new server, then move everything over from the old machine, then retire/upgrade the old machine and use as a backup.
    I am currently trying to dcpromo on the new machine but I get the following error:
    The following error occurred when DNS was queried for the service location (SRV) resource record used to locate an Active Directory Domain Controller for domain bridgelimited.local:
    The error was: "DNS name does not exist."
    (error code 0x0000232B RCODE_NAME_ERROR)
    The query was for the SRV record for _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.bridgelimited.local
    Common causes of this error include the following:
    - The DNS SRV records required to locate a AD DC for the domain are not registered in DNS. These records are registered with a DNS server automatically when a AD DC is added to a domain. They are updated by the AD DC at set intervals. This computer is configured to use DNS servers with the following IP addresses:
    212.50.160.100
    196.168.16.2
    - One or more of the following zones do not include delegation to its child zone:
    bridgelimited.local
    local
    . (the root zone)
    For information about correcting this problem, click Help.
    192.168.16.2 is IP address for the DC.
    Any help would be grately appreciated.
    Kind Regards
    Richard

    Here goes (I know my harddisk is failing - that's why I am desperate to get everything shifted to the new server).

  • Forest trust unable to find Active Directory Domain Controller

    I have two domains with a two-way forest trust. We'll call them ForestA and ForestB. They're on seperate subnets. ForestA's DCs are in one physical location. ForestB's DCs are in two locations, one of which is shared with A.
    I'm unable to route traffic directly from the remote DC in ForestB to the subnet ForestA is on, so I created a new DC in ForestA that sits on the subnet ForestB uses (basically, I can't route between subnets via the wireless bridge between locations, but
    can within the same location).
    I found this: http://www.neomagick.net/zen/2008/11/30/using-dns-to-force-a-domain-trust-through-a-specific-domain-controller-dc/
    I followed the instructions to set the new DC in forest A to be the only one the remote DC in forest B was aware of.
    Nslookup ForestA.com resolves correctly to this DC, but I'm unable to validate the trust relationship, getting the error:
    "Windows cannot find an Active Directory Domain Controller for the ForestA.com domain. Verify that an AD DC is available and then try again."
    I'd appreciate any help.

    In the event viewer, have you found any event id's that corrospond with this error? Have you ensured all ports required are open? Windows firewall is correctly setup? NIC is properly configured?
    Statement below taken from: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc961803.aspx
    If you receive the following error, ERROR_NO_LOGON_SERVERS while using the Nltest tool to query the secure channel, this is usually indicative of the inability to find a domain controller for that domain. Run nltest /dsgetdc: < DomainName > : to verify
    whether you can locate a domain controller. If you are unable to find a domain controller examine DNS registrations and network connectivity.

    In node2 we installed all available updates and hotfixes.

     Hi Azamat Hackimov,
    Regarding to error messages, it seems that the
    ntdsai.dll file caused the issue. Based on current situation, please use
    sfc /scannow command to scan protected system files and check if find error and repair. Meanwhile, you can also navigate to the location of this DLL file and confirm details.
    In addition, Windows Server 2012 R2 has reboot unexpectedly. Please check if you get some dump file and then analysis it. It may help us to find the root reason. Please refer
    to the following KB.
    How to read the small dump memory dump file that is created by Windows if a crash occurs.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315263/en-us
    By the way, it is not effective for us to debug the crash dump file here in the forum. If this issues is a state of emergency for you. Please contact Microsoft Customer Service
    and Support (CSS) via telephone so that a dedicated Support Professional can assist with your request.

  • 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...

    I have purchased a new XServe to add to our Active Directory domain as a member server. It all seems to work right except that only users in AD who are members of the "Domain Admins" group seem to function properly under AFP.
    The Mac Clients can connect to our Windows boxes just fine and AD login's seem to work for loggin in any clients. I've created a shared volume on the XServe and when I try to access it via AFP with any user account that doesn't have Administrator rights I get "Invalid Login or Password" on the Mac Client.
    Anyone got any ideas, this is driving me crazy.

    Post to the appropriate server forum or AD forum where people dealing with these products hang out.

  • 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:

  • 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.

    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.

  • Active Directory Domain Name Convention

    Hi All
    I'm creating a brand new domain for a new company I have just started at. We currently use Office 365 so sharepoint and Exchange are both in the cloud and our website is also outsourced.
    I am now rolling out our first DC on Windows 2012 Server and I'm find conflicting reports on what naming convention I should use for AD with use with hosted exchange.
    Most seem to point at using a subdomain of our main site, like corp.mydomain.com whereas I come from a background using Server 2003 where its always been mydomain.local
    Can anyone advise me on this one and are there any additional thoughts around implementing with an existing Office 365 setup?

    It seems that mydomain.local is recommended less often (if not discouraged) because certificates from a third-party CA will no longer accept internal domain names, like mydomain.local, in the near future.
    Some links on this subject:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/a460ee18-e674-4c14-b4e8-33afd9ddb2a0/change-local-to-com-to-resolve-ssl-certificate-mismatch?forum=exchange2010
    http://www.digicert.com/internal-names.htm
    http://exchangeserverpro.com/ssl-requirements-for-exchange-when-certificate-authorities-wont-issue-certificate/
    In any case Office 365 will not interact with internal names. If you use such a name currently, you'd have to configure a UPN suffix allowing users to connect with the external name. This link might
    explain it better:
    http://www.messageops.com/documentation/office-365-documentation/active-directory-federation-services-design-planning-for-office-365
    In particular:
    "It is common for organizations to use one domain name internally and a different domain name externally. A best practice was to have your internal Active Directory domain name have a .local or a .corp suffix.  With Office 365, the UPN suffix must match
    your external domain name which you have registered and verified within Office 365.  In these types of situations it is necessary to add a UPN (User Principle Name) suffix to the Active Directory."

  • Active Directory domain failed

    Hello Team,
    When i joined to our active directory, everytime bui gives same error messages:
    The attempt to join the Active Directory domain failed either because the clocks of the appliance and the domain controller are skewed or the administrative user
    does not have the appropriate permissions to create a computer account in Active Directory.
    It is recommended that NTP be used to keep clocks synchronized when using Active Directory.
    Storage Appliance: 7310 One Controller, No firewall for ntp server also which connect directly NTP Domain server. Actually my believe is that no time sync issue.
    Firmware version is latest patch.
    What is your idea about this issue?
    i did many times this action plan: but result is same
    ActiveDirectoryTasks
    B)Joining a Domain
    1.Configure an ActiveDirectory site in the CIFS context. (optional)
    2.Configure a preferred domain controller in the CIFS context. (optional)
    3.Enable NTP, or ensure that the clocks of the appliance and domain controller are synchronized
    to within five minutes.
    4.Ensure that your DNS infrastructure correctly delegates to the ActiveDirectory domain, or add
    your domain contoller's IP address as an additional name server in the DNS context.
    5.Configure the ActiveDirectory domain, administrative user, and administrative password.
    6.Apply/commit the configuration.
    A)Joining aWorkgroup
    Configure theworkgroup name.
    Apply/commit the configuration.
    1. First of all LAN Compatibility Mode 4 works fine with Win 2003 (AD Server)
    2. While trying to join the AD, using a non ADMIN username and passsword will not help
    Try using a username/pass which has Administrative Privileges (specifically having the rights for Account Creation in
    the AD Server) on the AD server.
    (I was trying by a different username/pass but it was not joing the storage to AD. It joined when i tried a user having
    the privileges to create Machine Accounts in AD)
    3. For Clock Sync, the tolerance limit is upto 5 Minutes..So you can take care that the difference does not go beyond
    5 minutes.
    Thanks
    Can
    Gantek Tech.

    Your first post to these OTN forums.
    You posted your inquiry to a HARDWARE forum.
    Your issue seems to be a Microsoft OS issue and you just happen to have your OS volumes on a model 7310 appliance.
    I suggest you go find a forum somewhere that is hosted for Microsoft AD issues.
    If you happen to need the documentation for that piece of storage hardware, there are currently three PDF's available:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19935-01/index.html
    They are the Installation Guide, the hardware Administration Guide, and the Service Manual.
    There are no current Oracle-published documents for that box as related to Active Directory.

  • 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.
    -Chris

    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 ?

  • 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\libFra​me_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.
