DPM 2012 R2 UR2 and Windows 2003 SP2 Agent Version Issue

Hi All, I have UR2 installed on my DPM 2012 R2 server and have followed Mike's guide on getting them protected:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/dpm/archive/2014/06/11/details-on-protecting-windows-server-2003-computers-using-data-protection-manager-2012-r2.aspx
The agents now show in the DPM console but display as needing an update and showing as agent version 4.1.3313.0 instead of 4.1.3441.0, which is odd.
Servers have:
.Net 3.5 Sp1 Full
Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.17
From the DPM server:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft System Center 2012 R2\DPM\DPM\agents\RA\4.2.1235.0\i386\1033\DPMAgentInstaller_Win2K3_i386.exe
Executed:
setdpmserver.exe -dpmservername DPMserverName
From the DPM server:
Attach-ProductionServer.ps1 script on the DPM server and refreshed twice
What have I missed?

Hi.
Reboot your 2003 Server
Run DPM Setup again on Server 2003
Run setdpmserver.exe again
click refresh in DPM Server
worked for me

LMS2.5 and Windows 2003 SP2

Hi,
Does someone knows if exist a problem o consideration to take care with the installation of the SP2 (Win 2003 Server) in a LMS2.5 Server?
Actually the server has Win 2003 Server w/SP1.
Thanks

If you are upgrading to SP2, you should take LMS datebase backup and you may need to re-install the LMS software.

Snow Leopard and Windows 2003 Active Directory Binding Issues

Ok I have a new imac 27" with snow leopard (completely patched).
I am attempting to join it to an active directory domain.
First the prequel:
* I have opened full traffic to and from the machine and our domain controllers
* I have enabled full logging on the firewall and there are no blocked packets
* I have used wireshark to watch the traffic on the mac and there appear to be no anomalies (packets being sent out but not getting a response, dns requests that aren't answered, etc)
* I have enabled full KDC logging on the domain controller in question and there are no errors in any of the event logs on either domain controller.
* The domain admin account in question has Enterprise, Schema and Domain Admin rights
* I have tried it both with and without an existing computer account and with every conceivable combination of caps and no caps on domain name, user and computer names.
I am getting the following error at the very end of the process:
"Unable to add server. Credential operation failed because an invalid parameter was provided (5102)"
I enabled debugging on Directory Services and will post a log in a reply.
Anyone have any ideas? I have been banging my head on this for a week with no luck.

Here is the log with the Active Directory: entries grepped... the full log is far too large to reply to here, if you think you need it let me know and I can email it to you it is 548kb
obviously machine names, usernames and ip addresses have been munged.

You can run the below Windows Powershell script on the DPM Server to clean up the *DPMRA.CRASHDETECT files. This should eliminate the dpmra crashes until a new fix is released to address the original problem.
1) Stop MSDPM and DPMRA Services.
2) Copy / Paste the below script into notepad and save as deletecrashfiles.ps1
3) Open Windows PowerShell using administrative privilege.
4) Run the deletecrashfiles.ps1
5) Restart the DPM services.
#get DPM install path
$dpmsetup = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\Setup"
$dpminstallregkey = get-itemproperty $dpmsetup
$installpath = $dpminstallregkey.installpath

DPM 2012 Primary SP1 and Secondary R2 mixed mode

I have a Primary and Secondary DPM 2012 SP1 configuration. The DPM servers protect each other's DPM database in a Cyclic protection. The Primary DPM server is backing up a few servers that are running Windows Server 2003. I want to
upgrade the DPM servers to 2012 R2, but I just found out that DPM 2012 R2 does not support protecting Windows Server 2003 until DPM 2012 Update Rollup 2 is released.
My question is, can I upgrade my secondary DPM server to 2012 R2 and continue to protect the DPM 2012 SP1 server and all of its protected volumes? Whenever DPM 2012 R2 UR2 is released I would then upgrade the primary DPM server to 2012 R2 as well and
patch both primary and secondary with UR2.
Please advise if this is a supported plan for my upgrade to DPM 2012 R2.

Hi,
Not currently, I have asked that a note be added to the following two pages stating that the DPM Server versions must be the same.

Windows 2003 SP2 servers migrating from IIS 6.0 to IIS 7.5 without upgrading to Windows 2008 R2

I have 3 Windows 2003 SP2 servers running IIS 6.0 and my client wants to upgrade to IIS 7.5 without having to upgrade the OS to Windows 2008 R2. Is this possible?
Thanks

No I'm afraid not. The full versions of IIS depend on the OS, so IIS6 on 2003, IIS7 on 2008, IIS7.5 on 2008 R2.
The Express version of IIS can be installed on 2003 but that's for developers only so no use in your situation.
Also worth nothing in terms of upgrading, unless your 2003 installation is 64-bit then you can only do an in place upgrade to 2008 IIS7. There's no 32-bit option with 2008 R2, and no way to do an in place upgrade between 32-bit and 64-bit, so if you really
need to upgrade to IIS 7.5 then your only option would be to start with a new install and then migrate the websites from one server to another.

RDP Hotfix for Windows 2003 SP2

What is the latest RDP hotfix for Windows 2003 SP2, we are having issues when we want the server to reboot and it just hangs. I remember that there was an hotfix for this issue. Our workaround is to use a remote shutdown command.
I believe they was an post-SP2 that kinda of helped in most cases.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Based on my search, the following articles will give you a hand:
Recommended hotfixes for Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2-based server clusters
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935640
Certain Windows Server 2003 hotfixes have been repackaged to be compatible with Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932132
Meanwhile, I would require to analyze the cause of the unresponsiveness.
How To Troubleshoot Shutdown Problems in Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324268
Sometimes, the clean-boot (MSCONFIG) will helps you to isolate the issue that might be caused by the third party software.
Thanks.

Oracle 9i and windows 2003 R2 installation issues

Hi All,
I have a windows 2003 R2 server with oracle 9.2.0.8 installed both OS and DB are 32bit. The server has 12gb ram and I therefore use AWE and /PAE, however when ever the number of connections exceeds >60 memory errors start to appear and sessions crash. Has anyone out there carried out a successful install of 9i and windows 2003 R2. Can anyone help with the resolution of these issues.
regards
Alan

some more information
I’ve just restarted the server with its full quota of 16GB of RAM and selected both boot.ini switches (/PAE and /3GB) at server startup. I then amended the dbblock_lru_latches parameter from 128 to 64. Before I even started the database I tried running ‘ipconfig /all’ at the command prompt with the following result:
D:\Oracle>ipconfig /all
Windows IP Configuration
An internal error occurred: Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.
Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services for further help.
is it windows causing these issues?

Any known issues with Flash player 9 and windows 2003 compatibility?

Hi guys..
Is there any known compatibility problem with running flash
applications
on Windows 2003 Server?
My application runs just so well with Windows XP
yet it throws a 2015 bitmap error
when it is being run on the windows 2003 server.
(Not quite often but often enough. the only difference is the
operating
system)
Is there any known issue about this?
Or could there be any compatibility problem with flash player
and
windows 2003?
Any hints would be deeply appreciated...
Thank you...

Hyperion 32-bit Web Apps are fully compatible with Essbase 64-bit. Same with 32-bit Essbase client.

Single Inbox on Unity Connection 8.5 and Exchange 2003 SP2

Hi,
We have Unity Connection 8.5 (with SU2) and Exchange 2003 SP2
We want to setup the Single Inbox feature that works well with Exchange 2007 and 2010, but my customer is running Exchange 2003 SP2.
We met all of the requirements outlined in: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/requirements/8xcucsysreqs.html#wp459928
I configure a new "Unified Messaging Services" profile for Exchange using Exchange 2003 and enabled for Single Inbox. When I run "Test" it displays the following errors (other validation is successfully)
The service port for IMAP is not functioning.
The system failed to connect to the server with a socket connection through port beatles.clubone.com:993. The error is error:0200206F:system library:connect:Connection refused. Refer to the tomcat log file for more details. If you are using secure connection, confirm that SSL is enabled on the server.
Why is it trying to connect using IMAP, that wasn't the case when I used for Exchange 2007 or 2010 when IMAP was not enabled.
Is there something else I'm missing for configuration with Unity Connection to support Single Inbox with Exchange 2003 SP2?
Thank you!

Hi Rya,
I just wanted to add my +5 vote for this great catch by Aaron (nice work "A")
If you are going to upgrade to Unity Connection 8.6
Check out this great doc from Saurabh for the refresh upgrade notes to 8.6.

MSI K9N Neo board- and Windows 2003 R2

Hello,
I am having some compatibility issues with running a K9N Neo board and Windows 2003 r2
--I cant get core center to run
--I cant get audio/sound to work, it is all installed except for one thing.
so then i killed by loading XP drivers that it did not like.
Does anyone have a list of the minmum drivers off my CD that i should install to get it going, or are they on the MSI site for W2k3? I could not find them.
This machine works totally fine with XP and Vista.
thanks

That is mostly correct, absolutely. But it happens that Microsoft thought-up some security measure or two that prohibits some - for example - updating procedures. Here is an example, but I doubt that is your problem. Please note the kb number, you don't have to learn Swedish.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922582/sv
Modificacion: Very few companies do I believe produce special 2003 drivers. Don't think I ever saw any MSI ones, anyway. Isn't it enough that XP and Vista works? Those are better for gaming, entertainment, VOIP and such.

DPM 2012 R2 UR2 adds 2003 support but what about 2008?

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2958100
I see that update rollup 2 is out and it adds support for protecting server 2003 agents but I don't see any mention of server 2008 (not R2). I have a server 2008 SP2 (not R2) machine running Exchange 2007 SP3. Will I be able to backup this
machine's system state and Exchange data with DPM 2012 R2 if I install update rollup 2?
Thanks,
Teenage angst has paid of well, now I'm bored and old.

Even without that update I believe you should be able to backup a 2008 non-R2 box already using DPM 2012 R2.
While it's not listed on the compatibility matrix for some reason, we've got a Windows Server 2008 non-R2 (64-bit) Exchange server (exchange 2007) that is currently being backed up via a DPM 2012 R2 install, so that works.
Thanks for the tip off about the update! Very handy since we've still got one of our DPM installs not running R2 due to a couple of old 2003 boxes, but this means (once they re-release the update which has been taken down currently) we can finally get that
DPM server updated to R2!

Active Directory, Windows 2003 SP2 Server and SMB shares

I have 10 new iMacs that will be returned and exchanged for 10 HP wintels if I can't resolve an issue with SMB shares in Mac OS X 10.4.9.
We had an old win 2000 server, and all the macs could mount their smb shares without problems.
Recently we upgraded to two new 2003 sp2 servers, one of them the domain controller, and we can't mount their SMB shares. I followed this http://weblog.bignerdranch.com/?p=6&page=3 and/or this http://allinthehead.com/retro/218/accessing-a-windows-2003-share-from-os-x to allow AD authentication, but still, I can't mount the 2003 shares (but can with the 2000 ones!!!).
If I enable SFM (services for macintosh) then I can mount the shares, but:
1) the network is slower (I supouse is due to appletalk implementation)
2) and worse, names with more than 32 characters or with some special characters are not allowed. This renders 30% of our archives unavailable with the AFP solution.
I also used all the authentication methods (Plain text apple, plain text windows, etc.) but no one works.
I have now 10 days to find a solution, or all "my" macs will dissapear forever.
Please, some advice or point to documentation.
G4, G5, iMac Intel, Mac Book Pro, etc Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Do you just want to mount arbitrary share from the win servers or do you want the macs to be bound to AD?
The first requires the steps from your second link (allinthehead.com) but the latter (bind to AD) requires things like proper use of DNS, time synchronisation for kerberos to work and proper configuration as described in your first link (bignerdranch.com).
Here are some more links for the latter (AD intergration):

DPM 2012 R2 Support and Hyper-V Workloads on REFS Storage

We have deployed all of our Virtual Machines on REFS filesystem. We are in the process of deploying DPM 2012 R2 and would like to know if there is any information available from Microsoft as to when REFS will be supported for Hyper-V workloads on REFS. Any
information will help us plan for whether to move Hyper-V loads to NTFS.
I can see the Windows Server 2003 is now supported in UR2 and wonder if there is a roadmap available that will be included in future UR for DPM 2012 R2.
Also any information for re-enabling the integrity checking in VHDX after we move a VM from REFS to NTFS would be appreciated.

Hi,
I do not believe we will be adding support for protecting Hyper-V hosted on REFS in the near term, so plan on using NTFS.
If you are already using REFS and are getting backup failures, you can create the following registry key on the Protected Server, restart DPMRA service and run a consistency check.
A. On protected server, browse to the registry path: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft Data Protection Manager\Agent\2.0.
B. Create a DWORD registry value called "ForceFixup" and set it to 0x1.
C. Restart the DPMRA service on protected server.
NOTE - This will disable use of DPM filter so there will be some backup and possible server performance tradeoffs.
We do not announce fixes in upcoming UR releases.
