Domain server upgrade issue

Hi
I have recently introduced the first Server 2012R2 Domain Controller into our environment.
We currently have Server 2008 DC, and my plan was to upgrade a DC on a remote site to Server 2012 R2.
The upgrade appears to be successful, but only a few days later we started noticing issues.
We have some Server 2003 servers on that site to support legacy applications. When we try to RDP to the 2003 servers, we receive the following:
The system cannot log you on due to the following error:
The RPC server is Unavailable
I suspect the 2012R2 DC has disabled some authentication method that I need to manually
re-enable.
I’m sure the problem can be easily resolved, and I’m looking for anyone else who has had a similar issue that has managed to resolve it.

Hi Isaac
I can confirm that I'm using secure RDP and I've also tried to address server via IP.
Below are some event of interest.
Windows cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO CN={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=qcomp,DC=com,DC=au. The file must be present at the location <\\qcomp.com.au\sysvol\qcomp.com.au\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\gpt.ini>.
(The specified network name is no longer available. ). Group Policy processing aborted.
and ..
Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. Check the event log for possible messages previously logged by the policy engine that describes the reason for this.
It appear the 2003 server is having difficulties accessing the domains sysvol. Other servers of similar configuration from other sites, connects perfectly to Server 2008 DC.
Thanks,
Greg

Solution to iCloud "cannot connect to the server" upgrade issue

I have just switched my iPhone 4s to a new carrier. (iOS 7.0.4)
Once the previous carrier (finally) unlocked its activation grip, all went well through restoring the phone. One issue remained:
iCloud wanted me to "agree to new terms of service" and would not allow me to do anything else with it. But when I tapped the button to "read the terms of service" the dialogue "Cannot connect to the server" popped up.
The solution turned out to be relatively painless:
Make sure you have backed up any Photo Streams that are present on your iPhone. (I use Aperture for this.)
At the bottom of the iCloud settings screen (Settings->iCloud) tap the "Delete Account" button. You will be warned that photos, documents, etc., will be deleted from your iPhone. As long as you are confident of your backups, tap "Delete" in the warning dialogue.
If you have "Find My iPhone" enabled, you will need to enter your Apple ID and password to turn it off. This is the only way to gain access to this setting that I could find.
Cold-boot your iPhone (Power + Home). I suppose you don't HAVE to do this, but seemed like A Good Thing.
Return to the iCloud settings screen and turn iCloud back on. Enter your Apple ID and password. Double-check that "Find My iPhone" is enabled, if desired.
You will be asked to allow iCloud to merge documents, contacts, and so on with the information on your iPhone. Do this as desired. (I do not yet use iCloud for most of this.) Your Photo Stream will eventually show up again by itself.
Hope this helps, and I'm all ears if there is an easier and potentially safer solution!

I have the same problem. Did you solve it already?

SCOM 2012 R2 Post upgrade issues

Hey all,
yesterday we upgraded our SCOM environment from 2012 SP1 to R2. All of the installers ran fine without any issues. After a couple reboots it was back up however we have run into some issues.
Issue 1: The ACS seems to be broken. I can usually run a query on the ACS database manually and get back audit entries. However, now I am getting nothing back at all. Here are the errors that are repeated every few minutes on both
management servers. I did run the ACS upgrade on them both yesterday.
Error occured on database connection:
Status: 0x00040000
ODBC Error: 14
ODBC State: 01000

Message: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]Invalid connection.
Database: Register
Connection: ComplianceTest
Statement: -
Issue 2: Our UNIX agents are all greyed out now and when I try to upgrade them I get the following error.
EDIT: and here is something else I just found on our other management server
Any info would be great
Thanks
Warm Fuzzies!

I am going to update this post. The service is still crashing nightly. The views dvAll, dvAll5 and dvHeader are not being created. I tried the fix provided by the Microsoft rep and it did nothing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled
the ACS server multiple times and the views are never created. When I start the ACS services I get the same errors.
AdtServer encountered the following problem during startup:

We have almost a terabyte of data that we cannot get to after the R2 upgrade.
Very frustrating!!!!

Server upgrade newbie questions

Hi Everyone!
So I work for a small-ish nonprofit and as I am researching information on what my to-be system is, I am running into a lot of questions. I have tried google-ing them with not much success. So I am hoping that all of your expertise might help
drive me in the right direction.
Mind you, I have only been with our organization for about 2.5 weeks, and it is all over the place.
Right now, we have approximately 90 PCs, both desktops and laptops, distributed around 12 counties. ~50% of these PCs are utilized by our staff, while the others are used by the general public for internet and document editing. We also have ~
30 smartphones that I need to manage at some level. I would also mention that we have PCs with XP, Win7, Vista, and Windows 8 (these PCs were all purchased by different people at different times, or donated to our organization). We are currently
transitioning to google mail, so I was also planning to use the google apps extension to integrate with AD. Right now, our local "headquarters" is where our servers are located, and the person who set our server up had installed SBS 2011. There
has been a domain setup, and all but one of the local PCs were added to it (minus the Win8 machine due to SBS limitations).
Because I am new to this, and the situation is a bit complicated (as you can see from above), I was really impressed with Server 2012 R2 because of some of the capabilities of it. The primary functions of the server are to provide a way for me to manage
all of the users (even the distributed ones), the PCs, and the devices (phones). The way that I understood this, is that DirectAccess could allow me to provide help desk support (I am the only IT person in our organization so I am wearing multiple hats),
removing the programs that were utilized by my predecessors (i.e. logmein). I am hoping that with them all added to the domain, I would also be able to ensure that they were being updated properly on a schedule. We also have multiple different
anti-virus softwares that have been deployed at different times on different OSs. I was hoping to be able to standardize this and be able to manage that as well.
So....the questions....
Because we are a nonprofit, we are members of techsoup and can get the software cheap enough, but I don't really understand the licensing, particularly the Remote desktop services CALs. How does this service differ from what I currently understand
as RDC. Do I need to get one of these CALs to be able to provide remote support to users/PCs?
How do I properly assess the software? Because I have never performed a server upgrade, or really messed with Server other than seeing the SBS console and being able to muddle through it easy enough, an I going to have issues when upgrading from SBS
2011 (backing up and redeployment)? The current Hardware is going to be on the low end of the min. sys. requirements. Is this going to be a huge issue considering the size of our organization?
Am I even on the right track?
My hope is to create a semi one time investment (for at least the next few years) so that the focus can be turned towards upgrading field equipment.
I would appreciate everyones thoughts and help (as I mentioned in the title, I am a newbie at server stuff).
Thanks in advance!

Your absolute best source of licensing information and clarification is to speak with a trained Microsoft licensing specialist. You can find one by starting your search at
www.microsoft.com/licensing.
Are all these devices owned by your organization? If so, dump XP as quickly as possible. You also might want to check into Office 365 instead of google apps, unless you like the fact that google reads everything you do. The combination
of Office 365 and Windows Intune might seem like a lot of money up front, but when you consider the significant amount of management time that is simply eliminated by them, they can be quite cost-effective.
It's pretty hard to 'assess' the software without any knowledge of applications needed, usage patterns, vendors, etc. If you do not feel comfortable performing the function yourself, find a reputable local consultant to come in and assist.

Jeremiah,
We ran into this as well. One of two options:
1.) Just run a repair on the SQL Server installation
2.) Repair the WMI settings on the SQL Server as descibed here:

Data source migration in parallel to CRM server upgradation

Hi Experts,
We are working on BI 7.0 system which pulls data from CRM 2004. Recently we upgraded BI environment from BW3.5 (to BI.70 SP -16).
Now we are re-modeling the existing BI design due to performance issues & to use BI functionalities. We would like to migrate the data sources in BI also to BI version so that we can get advantage of using DTP & transformations.
But the issue here is now we started to up grade our source system also from CRM 2004 --> CRM 2007. I beleive that the data source version will be maintained in source system (CRM) tables also.
So if we migrate the data source now (before CRM upgrade), will it cause any issues in BI once CRM server upgrade done?
Note: We can implement all of our new designs with out data source migration.
Please advice us to proceed. Let me know if you need more details.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Arun Thangaraj.

Hi reddy,
1). Why Migration Process?
Migration process is to convert BW 3.x objects ( such as Data source, Trasfer rules and update rules etc) into BI 7.0 objests.
2). Why we are Migrating BW 3.X objects into 7.0 objects?
We are Migrating 3.x data source into 7.0 inorder to avail three functions, Those are
a). Direct data acquisition
b). Realtime Data Acquisition (RDA)
c). BI Accelarator.
3) .Regarding With export and Withour export options ?
These two options come in the process of Migration step. Regarding these options clearly described in the fourth point as bellow.
4). What will happen in this Migration process?
( Remember at the time Migration Transfer structure and Transfer rlues deleted, keep in mind go throgh bellow steps).
What ever may be the option selected (i.e, With Export or Without export ) data source will migrate to 7.0.
But if you choose With export option deleted Transfer Structure and Trasfer Rules will store in the table " RSDSEXPORT". If you select other option (i.e, Without export ) the deleted Trasfer structure and trasfer rules perminently not avaliable.
Thats why always go with With Export option only. This will help to revert back 7.0 data source into 3.5 data source when ever is there any requirement in future.
Please go look into bellow link.
Re: Migration of datasource from 3.5 to 7.0
if u r satisfed about my answer please assign points.

10.6.8 to Mavericks Server Upgrade loses Open Directory Users

Hi,
I have an OpenDirectory Master running OSX Server 10.6.8. An upgrade to Mavericks 10.9 has just failed.
The server has about 50 OD users and passwords need to be retained across the upgrade. Apart from OD, the only other active service is AFP file sharing.
DNS is good forward and back as per this article: OS X Server: Steps to take before upgrading or migrating the Open Directory database
I followed these Apple guidelines for server migration: OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Lion Server or Snow Leopard Server.
I cloned the boot drive, booted from the clone, upgraded to Mavericks, then installed the Mavericks Server app.
On opening the Mavericks Server app "Configuring services' showed for 5 minutes, but then an error message appeared. I did not record it exactly, but it was something like, "There was an error configuring the server. Certificate not valid!".
I was able to continue through the error but on opening Server app there were no OD (local/network) users showing. Authentication was not happening.
I had underestimated the time to get the installation done and I had used up the window of downtime I had booked - I did not have much time to troubleshoot. So, I cut back to the original hard drive and the server is back to 10.6.8 again.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to find out what may have gone wrong? How can I get my users into 10.9 Server?
Many thanks,
b.

Linc Davis advice is spot-on, as usual.
There seem to be dozens of sub-databases in the LDAP database. A problem in any of them seems to derail the entire conversion process. I tried a straight conversion and was also disappointed that there were unresolved issues, and it meant that the conversion failed.
So I did the export route using WorkGroup Manager, and exported four sets:
Users
Groups
Computers
Computer groups
go to the appropriate pane (e.g., Users) and Select All, then choose Export, and give it a name (probably with an embedded date in case you need to do it again later)
Then use 10.9 WorkGroup Manager (available as a separate download) to Import.
When re-imported, everything worked just fine (except the passwords, which cannot be carried forward using this method). I did have to manually enable at least one service, such as File Sharing service in Server [admin], or users showed up as "not allowed" [to log in].
This entire process of getting Server 3 to work is fraught with peril, and everything converges on ONE diagnostic, "Network users can't log in". Which means you blew it, but provides no additional information about WHERE you blew it.
There do not appear to be any magic bullets. It is just a tough slog. Users who reported success after failing the first time reported they returned to fundamental principles and did all the steps over, in order, to attain success.

Microsoft's Security Update kills iTunes if on a Domain Server!

Do You Use iTunes at work? Is your computer logged in to a Domain Server? Did you just update your computer with Microsoft’s latest Security Patch (as of 1/6/06)?
Then you might have a problem. I’m sure that Microsoft will probably figure out a way to fix this someday, but for now, iTunes will no longer function for you in this scenario. The problem is that iTunes needs to access your My Music Folder. If your domain server is set up like the one I use, then your My Music folder resides in you’re My Documents folder, which lives on a Domain Server, not on the computer in front of you. This was not a problem before this patch. Now, something that Microsoft’s security patch did has blocked iTunes from being able to access the folder on the Domain Server.
Now, if you were like me, you updated your Computer Friday with the new security patch and shut it down for the weekend to save out planet’s energy resources. Monday, you powered up your computer and started to work. At some point, you thought you might like to hear a tune. You clicked on the iTunes shortcut and BAM! You got a bad message:
No matter what you did, you could not launch iTunes. Don’t even try it, nothing will help, unless you follow the steps below. I should note that these steps were discovered by using Apple’s info at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302398. The problem with their steps is that you can’t even find you’re My Music folder with Tweak UI after the security update if it’s on a Domain Server.
This Discovery is attributed to one R. Crippen. His love for iTunes drove him away from his onus of real work so he could spend time breaking Microsoft’s attempted sabotage of iTunes.
Here we go.
1. Download and install Tweak UI from the Microsoft PowerToys website at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx Note: This utility is for Windows XP only.
2. Launch Tweak UI. In the column on the left, click on the plus symbol next to My Computer and select Special Folders. Look in the Folder list in the Right Pane. You will notice that My Music is not in the list. Close Tweak UI.
3. Open Add/Remove Programs and check the box for “Show Updates.” Find the latest Security Update in the list. Select it and click Remove. Reboot after the update is removed.
4. Create a new location where you would like the My Music folder to live. I made an iTunes folder at the root level of my C drive. Put it anywhere you like (not on the Domain Server).
5. Go to your My Documents folder. Copy the My Music folder to the new location you picked for it.
6. Launch Tweak UI. In the column on the left, click on the plus symbol next to My Computer and select Special Folders. Look in the Folder list in the Right Pane. You will notice that My Music is now in the list.
7. Select My Music in the drop-down list. Click the Change Locations button. Select the new location and click OK.
8. OK, now that Windows will be looking in a new location for the My Music folder, Launch iTunes. If everything went well, it works!
9. You’re not done yet. That Security patch was probably put out there for a reason. Update your computer and reinstall the latest security patch again. You can probably find the Windows Update link at the top of your Programs list.
10. Reboot the computer after the update.
11. Launch itunes
12. Everything works! You have an updated computer on the Domain Server and iTunes works again! Yay!
Stupid Microsoft!

I'm still keeping an eye out for more cases like the 2 I've seen myself. I need a bigger testing audience, but I don't think the circumstances are very common.
So, your work computer is on a Domain. Is your "My Documents" folder on your Domain Server or is it on your local computer? That's where the problem arises, when itunes can't access the "My Music" where the itunes folder lives.
Since my "My Music" folder in the My Documents folder was living on a server and not my local computer, something prevented iTunes from communicating with it. I know that the security update was the culprit, because once I uninstalled the update, iTunes worked again.
Hopefully, I can find more cases of the problem just to verify. I just hope that is anyone else runs into the issue, this will help them. If it's a real issue.

10.5 to 10.6 Server Upgrade - Apache Fail

Hello,
I did a server upgrade last night from Leopard 10.5 Server to Snow Leopard Server. Everything went surprisingly well aside from one issue I've detected. All my existing services are working with the exception of the Web service. It starts and I get the green light but Apache is not working. In the overview, it says web service has started but no information on Apache version or start time.
Prior to the update I had been running Apache 2.2 so I assumed everything would be happy updating the OS. When the service is off and I click on the Logs tab I see all my old logs, as soon as I start the service everything goes blank so somewhere there is a disconnect with Apache 2.
Any ideas where to start? I cloned the server to another RAID set just in case of failure plus I have my backups, I even tried deleting everything in the Apache2 folder and replacing it with my 10.5 Apache2 contents but still no luck.
A bit baffled.

I like your idea but after doing some research it appears as if the upgrade did not install somethings cause reactivating the system with the default php that ships does not work at all. I would have preferred to do it your way. I did build php ver 5.3.8 and its all working, even the ionCube module but I'm just wresting with a small issue iconv, believed to be a bug. But if I could wipe the slate clean and have everything default I would have, it's just every reference I found pertianing to the factory installation of php were not there.
My only reason for the upgrade to begin with is to support the ionCube module for an OpenRealty installation, other than that server 10.5 was working perfect for me. I would love to have it just work as 10.6 intended and working and stable as you mentioned, just not sure if its possible at this point.
Apache 2.2, PHP 5.3.8, and MYSQL are all working at the moment.
My small issue, loving this apache command,
Syntax error on line 1464 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 8 of /etc/apache2/sites/+entropy-php.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/php5/libphp5.so into server: dlopen(/usr/local/php5/libphp5.so, 10): Library not loaded: /usr/local/php5/lib/libiconv.2.dylib\n Referenced from: /usr/local/php5/libphp5.so\n Reason: Incompatible library version: libphp5.so requires version 8.0.0 or later, but libiconv.2.dylib provides version 7.0.0

Cannot include PRD into newly created TMS domain - TMSADM password issue

I have just completed a system copy DEV to a new server. I have been able to include our QAS system into this domain without issue. However, PRD has many password complexity requirements (digits, etc). When I attempt to have PRD join the domain I receive the message
The password must contain at least 1 digits (0-9)
An easy technical solution would be to take down PRD to disable those requirements, include in the domain then put them back - not easy to scheduled production downtime.
I've been reading through various posts/notes and I think I must be missing something --- there must be an easier solution to this?

That was a long few hours....I attempted to implement the note to get things to work and I perceive that it would work if all the systems were already in the domain. My issue was that DEV and QAS (that did not have complex password settings) were working, but PRD (that had them) could not join the domain.
I tried setting DEV and QAS to having complex passwords, deleted all RFCs, TMSADM users and started from scratch. I could never get QAS to actually work - kept locking TMSADM in DEV (the domain controller).
In the end I reset the note (i.e. I took the row out of the table) and took the PRD downtime to fix the issue.
I suppose the bigger questions is --- is there a 'best practice' on how to cleanly move a system that is a domain controller?

When using Craigslist I keep getting this error: Warning! Domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found. Nothing I do works to fix this.

When I use Craigslist, my personal list of things being sold, and I try and renew my listings, I periodically get this: "Warning! Domain mapping upgrade for this domain not found. Please log in and go to the Domains Upgrades page of your blog to use this domain." Usually rebooting my computer makes it go away for a short time, but today that isn't working and following the commands on the warning doesn't work either...is this truly a firefox issue? How do I fix it.

SahrePoint Server -Upgrade Status Failed

Hi,
On our SharePoint server 2010, I noticed that there are 2 Failed upgrade. ( Central Admin > Upgrade Status)
Could you please let me know what are the steps to fix it?
Thanks,
Kate

Thanks Jason,
I'm new in the company and don't know the history of how the upgrade has been done.
The reason I'm researching is, there is a problem with synchronization with Active Directory and I think it maybe because of the upgrade issue!
I also found the Application Event Log error below.
Error ID 1004: The resource 'D:\SharePoint 2010\14.0\Service\Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Service.exe' does not exist.
This means, the Network Service account does not have rights to the %programfiles%\Microsoft Office Servers\14.0 folder so, the User Profile Synchronisation with
Active Directory does not run properly.
The solution is to grant read access to the Network Service account to the ...\14.0 folder.
https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2473430?wa=wsignin1.0
But I cannot find %programfiles%\Microsoft Office Servers\14.0 folder. Instead
there is a folder in D drive: 'D:\SharePoint 2010\14.0 and I granted read access to the Network Service account to this folder and ran Full synchronization but still not a joy.
Could you please advise me?
Thanks

Powerpoint web sharing fails with "some presenting features are unavailable due to server connectivity issues"

Hi,
I am having problems getting PowerPoint sharing working with Lync 2013. My setup is as follows
Lync 2013 Enterprise pool (november 2013 updates) on Windows 2012 and
Windows 2012 webapp farm
Kemp HLB
Everything is working ok, including whiteboards and application sharing, but i cannot get the powerpoint sharing to work. I always get the "some presenting features are unavailable due to server connectivity issues" for internal or external
users.
The webapp looks healthy and there are no errors in the Lync server or the webapp event log. Discovery urls can be accessed and i have put the .net 3.5 as suggested in a few forums.
When a user starts the PowerPoint it successfully loads the file to the Lync file share and request goto the webapp server. I am using a HLB which shows me that requests are forwarded to the webapp farm. I have removed the HLB for testing and get the same
results.
I did log this with the forum a month or so ago, but I had a file upload issue then which is now solved, but the powerpoint sharing is not.
any ideas?
sg

I ran some diags on the client and i managed to find an error. This was in the client debug logs when trying to start a powerpoint presentation
