Grdi 10.2.0.4 on Windows 2008 Servers

Hi all,
Any mentions to when Oracle will release an update so we can install GRID agents on Windows 2008 servers. As of now, it will not advance past the installation windows.
Thanks,
JR

I downloaded the 10.2.0.4 agent for 32 bit Windows and all went fine. Its better than installing 10.2.0.2 and applying upgrades. Whatever the case, that did the trick.

Help to create a SCOM Alert for same event ID on many Windows 2008 servers

Hi all,
I 'm a newbie in SCOM and I need to create a alert with information type on 1 event ID on 2 servers. The Event ID is the same on both servers and I don't know which type of monitor I need to create. Can you help me please ?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
First, should the server appear unhealthy if this event appears? If so, it should be a monitor. If not, it should be a rule (that will only give an alert).
Go to Authoring and Rules/Monitors. Set the scope to Windows Server. Create the Rule/Monitor and remove the "Enabled by default". In the event expression, use the parameters - these should be pretty straight forward.
Afterwards, override the rule/monitor for the two servers on which you wish to monitor this event.
This is pretty rough description, let me know if you need it more detailed.

Stuck at Applying Group Policy Printers Policy on Windows 2008 Servers

xp clients seem to be fine and map all printers at logon. The 2k8 servers all hang at logon for 30min or more at the Applying Group Policy Printers Policy. The print server is a DC in the same domain and it does not experience the issues at logon and gets to the desktop immediately.

Remote desktop is it secure and encrypted for windows 7 and windows 2008 servers

Remote desktop is it secure and encrypted? any supporting documenting showing if it is secure and encrypted .

Hi,
Yes, RDP is secure and encrypted. RDP uses RSA Security's RC4 cipher, a stream cipher designed to efficiently encrypt small amounts of data. RC4 is designed for secure communications over
networks. Administrators can choose to encrypt data by using a 56- or 128-bit key.
For more details, you can refer to the following:
Standard RDP Security

Windows 2008 R2 SP1 (64bit) shared folders no longer work with Windows 7 Pro but do work with WindowsXP & Windows 2003

As of last week, our Windows 7 Pro workstations can not map or browse the Windows 2008 Server shares. They can ping the Windows 2008 server. The Windows 7 Pro machines can still access the Windows 2003 Server Shares. The older workstations running Windows
XP can still map to the both the Windows 2003 & Windows 2008 Servers. All the servers can browse to each others shared folders (2 windows 2003 server & 1 windows 2008 server).

Ok, now you're down to network or permissions issues. An unedited ipconfig /all
of server and problem workstation may help. You could also try setting up some auditing.

Windows 2008 Server License Key not working on VirtualBox

I have a validated licensed copy of Windows 2008 Server and I need to load it on a Virtual machine (I am running Oracle VirtualBox). When I had the server running on a hardware based server it worked fine. The license key activated and it worked. Now when
I load it onto the VirtualBox solution it fails. It will take it when I run the manual command but will not show my server as activated. This is for my private use only (internal home LAN) but I would prefer to have the activation be correct since I use this
setup to help keep fresh on Windows 2008 servers while being on a Linux OS with a VM software loaded. What can I do to have this server activate correctly under the VirtualBox?
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,
Base on my experience, after we convert a physical computer system to virtualize environment we need to reactive it, with MAK active method we need keep this vm to connect to
internet and with KMS method please confirm this vm can communicate with your KMS server.

Unable to install security updates via WSUS on Windows 2008 client servers

When I try install to install updates on Windows 2008 client servers I get the error : Code 80244019 Windows Update encountered an unknown error
After running the WSUS Client Diagnostic Tool I get the result : GetFileVersion(szEngineDir,&susVersion) failed with hr=0x80070002 The system cannot find the file specified.
On a Windows 2003 server the WSUS Client Diagnostic Tool shows no error message. So I guess the problem seems to be specificly related to Windows 2008 servers.
The client server has been integrated into a WSUS console version 3.2.7600.226 runnning on a Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2.
Thanks in advance for the help in resolving this issue.

When I try install to install updates on Windows 2008 client servers I get the error : Code 80244019 Windows Update encountered an unknown error
The 0x80244019 error is an HTTP 404 error and when encountered trying to "install updates", which really occurs when trying to
download the update files so that the updates can be installed, is almost always a function of the desired file having been manually deleted from the WSUS server. The file that should be there for the needed update, isn't, but it used to be.
If all of the clients are getting this error on all updates, then that's a function of the content store on the WSUS server being missing, in the wrong place, or configured with the wrong ACLs.
After running the WSUS Client Diagnostic Tool I get the result : GetFileVersion(szEngineDir,&susVersion) failed with hr=0x80070002
This result is inconclusive, and not really relevant. The CDT is 32-bit only and can't be used on 64-bit systems. Plus, we already know the client is talking to the WSUS server -- you've reported the error code -- so the Client Diagnostic Tool will
tell us nothing of use at this point (even if it did work on 64-bit systems).
On a Windows 2003 server the WSUS Client Diagnostic Tool shows no error message.
Cool. It works on a 32-bit system.
So I guess the problem seems to be specificly related to Windows 2008 servers.
No... BUT... allow me to make an example of this for just a moment, and forgive me for that.
This is a great example of arriving at the wrong conclusion, caused by not considering ALL of the differences, as well as the scope and capability of the diagnostics performed. The error is not because one is '2003' and the other '2008; the error is because
one is 'x86' and the other is (obviously) 'x64'. And, in either case, diagnosing the client was wasted effort because the client is already working. (It got a real HTTP error message from the WSUS server.)
Now, we need to get some real diagnostic information to find out why you're getting this error code. :-)
Please post the actual entries from the WindowsUpdate.log where this error code appears, plus a hundred lines prior, and let's get some context around the error code, and the exact update that's involved in this issue.

Wilfred van der Heijden

Hello Wilfred,
thank you for bringing your concerns to us.
  The error code 2155348040 indicates BLB_E_BACKUP_TARGET_SPACE_NOT_ENOUGH which happens if the target volume size is not
sufficient to create a backup. In your case the total used space of source volume(s) could be greater than the space on the target volume.
So please check the free and used space on the source volumes and retry the backup with the target volume space greater than that total
space. We recommend the target volume size to be 1.5 times of the total size of all the source volumes for scheduled backups so that you
  can have sufficient number of backup versions stored.
If you are using Block Level Backup then one other possiblity could be that your source volume is fragmented causing the backup size to be
more than expected. If that is the case then retry the backup after defragmenting the source volume.
Thanks,
Bikash Agrawala [MSFT]

Best Practice - IPv6 Turn Off? Windows 2008 (and R2) Servers

Hi,
I work for a large organization. We have close to 10,000 servers globally. A question has come up if we should disable IPv6 on our Windows 2008 servers. Our network is not yet capable of using IPv6.
It seems like you have to go out of your way to disable IPv6; therefore, I would assume that it is best to leave IPv6 turned on.
Does anyone have any thoughts about this. It would be most helpful to have links to pros/cons - best practice.
Thank you.

No, do not disable IPv6. There is no reason to do so unless you have a very specific application issue which is highly unlikely (although there are a few documented ones out there).
http://blogs.technet.com/b/ipv6/archive/2007/11/08/disabling-ipv6-doesn-t-help.aspx
http://blogs.technet.com/b/jlosey/archive/2011/02/02/why-you-should-leave-ipv6-alone.aspx
Jason | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jsandys | Twitter @JasonSandys
Whoever marked this as an "answer" obviously doesn't remember that bad-old-days of "Everything's on by default! It just works!!" and the billions of dollars in lost productivity that ensued from the hundreds (thousands?) of exploits that followed this
painfully short-sighted decision. You'd think Microsoft would have learned their lesson from the "IIS is on by default!" debacle, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Best practices for system administration say "turn off the services and protocols you don't use." As such,
IPv6 should ALWAYS be disabled on servers and business workstations if you're not currently using it, just like any other protocol or service you haven't implemented or aren't using. Not using FTP? Don't install or enable
an FTP server. Not using IPv6? Why would you have IPv6 enabled? Just because IPv6 is the newest, shiniest thing on the block doesn't mean you have to use, and it definitely shouldn't require you to start hacking about in the registry to turn it off.
The only exception to this rule would be laptops or mobile devices where the user might (conceivably) take them into an IPv6 environment. Even then, though, you have to balance the "convenience" of not having to switch-on IPv6 against the risk that
your unconfigured IPv6 stack might be exploitable by nefarious patries. Even so, the fact that almost nobody has switched their internal networks to IPv6 means that turning it off on laptops is still probably a "good idea."
For example, my laptop wireless interface might make sense to leave IPv6 enabled--I don't have any idea when I'll walk into an environment that uses IPv6 and want to use my wireless. But in the office when I'm hard-connected? We don't use IPv6 so it needs
to be "off." Even if it's just a bit of code in the Windows firewall that can be used to say "just reject IPv6 traffic on x interface" is still a big improvement. An absolute home-run would be the addition of logic that allows Windows to dynamically disable
IPv6 when there aren't any NICs or WNICs that are allowed to use it.
Finally, none of this should be construed to mean I'm advising against implementing IPv6, because I'm not. However, like any major technology project you should plan carefully, making sure you understand ALL of the consequences (not just the marketing hype,)
and making sure you'll be able to administer the changed environment as well as your administer the current one. You definitely should not let a vendor (of all things) force the decision to use it upon you because it's "on by default."

Error code 80244017 WSUS windows 2008 server.

Hi Team,
this is inform you to that, All the windows 7 client PC Computers or getting update from WSUS but windows 2008 servers or not geting the update,
its througing the error message.
Error code:80244017
All server and client computers or same WSUS Server.
Regards, Kumar.V

Could you please help me any one on this issue .........?
Not any more than I already have....
You should look in the IIS logs for the WSUS v-root and determine exactly which type of HTTP 401 error this is.
If you don't understand about Internet Information Services (IIS), there are thousands of available resources -- and understanding how to use, administer, and manage IIS is a core skill required to
manage a WSUS server. I would start at http://www.iis.net.
Talking with the person who actually installed IIS on the WSUS server is also a good idea, including ensuring that it was configured as documented in the WSUS Deployment Guide:

Windows 2008 Server R2 - Registry Accessing problem

Hi,
My projects are currently being migrated to Windows 2008 servers from Windows 2000. I am using registry nodes under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\RegistryData\Test. My problem is when I am retrieving a string with 20 character or 39 character - it omits the final character. This is because normally when a string stores an additional space/null also be included.,
and in code we used to cut it using (like Left(xValue, xLength - 1)). I know instead of LEFT I can use TRIM and avoid the error. But I would like to know why it is happened only when string comes with 20 character.
Thanks in Advance.
Shine

RegGetValueA/W does not open or create a registry section.
RegCreateKeyEx does this. Maybe you're using a wrong export definition of the WIN32 API functions or some helper function(s) specific to VB.

Windows 2008 Remote Desktop Services - Word Spell Check

We are running Windows 2008 servers on our network with remote desktop services (terminal services). We currently experiencing a challenge with Word 2010. The spell check feature is not working, when you try and run it gives an error "Microsoft Word
can't check the spelling or grammar in this document. An error occurred and this feature is no longer functioning properly." After about 5 clicks it comes up with Cannot find the proofing tools for English (Australia). It eventually it works, need to
get it to work the first time. I have searched all around but can't seem to find the answer.

I'd try them over here.

Acrobat Reader on Windows 2008 Server

hello,
I am setting up Windows 2008 servers which are 64-bit versions and I cannot get the reader to install. It will download but it will just disappear at the very end. I had the same problem on 2003 64-bit and then someone else got it to work (but I don't know how).
1 - What option do I select for it to download / install correctly?
2 - How can in download a full image of the install for 64-bit versions? I have Vista, Win2003 and 2008 servers to configure.
Thank You!
Chris

Hi Bill,
I cannot find the other topic you are speaking of - I find 1958 threads when I search for "You are also using Reader". I don't see anything that relates to my issues on 2008 server or my questions about finding an install image.
I am the network admin so I have all the rights necessary. Not sure how it's a networking issue since the network is setup for 1 person (the admin) thus far.
Any additional thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Chris

1 Arch Server for Backup (Samba Share PUBLIC) - 192.168.1.4
And my problem is annoying at least, i go to one of my windows 2008 servers and push on explorer \\192.168.1.4\Backup and sometimes fully work without any problem... and another times (let's say 5 minutes after i push again) and:
Network path could not be found
or
xx.xx.xx.xx is not setup to establish a connection on port "File and Print Sharing (SMB)"
BUT FROM THIS WINDOWS 2008 SERVER IT PINGS 192.168.1.4
AND
TRACERT GO DIRECTLY TO 192.168.1.4
And if i try and try eventually it will work again.....can't damn understand what's going on with this.....
On ISA I gave FULL ACCESS to my servers to go where the hell they want and even so......
Thanks in advance for all the help....yep i need it.

I'm sorry I didn't know that this wasn't covered in the Wiki. When I get some time I'll probably add something about. No neither of those links are correct. You already have one DC, a native Windows server, and the second one isn't necessary (you don't need to join the whole Linux workstation to the domain, just the Samba service; the Samba service will with hostname be recognized as a stand-alone server).
In lack of an appropriate Wiki entry Samba's own How-to is better: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Sam … ember.html
Look for this section: "Joining an NT4-type Domain with Samba-3"
Even that How-to might be confusing since it covers all kinds of configurations at the same time. What you need, as far as I can understand your description, is only what's written in that section.
Start with the strings in smb.conf for domain, password server (in your case probably the DC itself) and security set to domain. Restart samba and the you need to know an administrator account (user and password) and fill it in to the command example shown, e g "net rpc join -S DOMPDC -UAdministrator%password". If everything works you should get confirmation about it. You could also double-check the AD on the DC and see if the Samba server is added.
See if you get this to work.
OK, sorry for the delay in my answer but i was traveling and couldn't test the above in the production environment.
I have add the backup server to the domain successfully but that was not the problem.
Now i have full details and maybe you could give your opinion:
FTMG (Forefront Threat Management Gateway)
SWITCH LAYER 3
SERVER BACKUP----------------------SERVERDC---------------------------SERVEREXCHANGE
THE PROBLEM is that if the DC have a share or exchange, everything works ok \\dc or \\exchange, but if you try to connect to the share archserver the connection drop quite often \\archserver
WHY? Because after some trace in FTMG, the microsoft firewall consider that the archserver is doing spoofing, yes is on the same network as all servers, same domain as above help, trusted...etc.
SOLUTION? First i give permissions on the firewall to the archserver (ALLOW ALL /PROTOCOLS ETC), but even so the FTMG was intercepting all the requests to the archserver and still consider him spoofing...odd enough no??!! By the way the FTMG Server control all network, is the gateway to all servers and switching.
Are you thinking to change the gateway to archserver or just don't put any....yep same result, FTMG catch archserver still.
I gave up and come with my actual solution (VLAN or BACKUP NETWORK), all servers with a extra ethernet card dedicated to the backup network or vlan just to backup without the firewall going there to trace anything.
And that's it....
But my question to you all is, everytime that we have a linux server (share) together with FTMG in same network do you have the same result, it seems to me like FTMG have something like: IT'S LINUX / GET BLOCKED.
Thanks for your help and patience regarding my answer.

TCP offloading for 2008 servers

Hi All,
While disabling TCP offloading on Windows 2008 servers, do we need to apply any MS patches?
Regards,
Adithya

Hi Geoff,
In 2008 we have 3 offload parameters for IPV4. i.e checksum offload, large send offload and TCP connection offload. After disabling these 3 do we need to add any registry to disable the offload parameters globally?
P.S : for 2003 we added a registry called
dword DisableTaskOffload = 1 in the below path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
Thanks and Regards,
Adithya
