How take Branch offices backup centrally through DPM 2012 Server

Hi
I have one HQ and 200 branch offices. I want to take the backup of 200 branch offices centrally through DPM 2012 server.
To achieve this solution what procedure i have to follow. Shall i go with one DPM server at HQ or i have to configured each DPM server at branch offices.
I have 3 MBS link in each offices.
Thanks and Regards Deepak

I'm not sure there is a simple, easy answer. It depends on what you want to achieve via the DPM protection. My two cents is to have your DPM servers for the branch offices running at your HQ location so your backups are "offsite". This
will protect you in the event a branch office is lost. All protection elements except for BMR are pretty efficient with DPM and you can compress the traffic from your branch locations.
You can have multiple DPM servers at HQ and balance your server protection load across that farm.
You may want to have a DPM server at a branch location that protects some of your HQ servers to provide an offsite backup for HQ resources.
Be careful with BMR backups across WAN links. The BMR sends the entire BMR backup every time. And the BMR backup can include multiple drives if you happened to have installed applications on something other than the system drive (C:). You
can get a list of all the drives that will be included in the BMR backup by running this command on a server: "wbadmin start backup -allcritical -backuptarget:\\localhost\c$". Just hit CTRL-C after it shows you the drives that will be included.
You'll need to run the DPM backup across a private link or via site-to-site tunnels. I don't recommend trying to do a DPM backup with a firewall between the two sites. I'm sure it could be done...but I don't recommend it.

Upgrade OS on DPM 2012 Server

I have a DPM 2012 server running on 2008 R2. I would like to upgrade to DPM 2012 SP1. From what I have read in the forums, to fully utilize SP1, the OS needs to be 2012. I would like to do an in-place upgrade of the OS on my DPM 2012 server
before upgrading DPM to SP1. Is this a supported upgrade path? What do I need to do to DPM 2012 after the OS upgrade to 2012 to get DPM ready for the upgrade to SP1?
Thanks
Rob Nunley

As lync16 did, I too opted for reinstallation, I could not find a way to get DPM2012SP1 running on Windows 2008R2 upgraded to DPM2012R2 on Windows 2012R2. I reinstalled everything, but the restored database remained "not compatible" and I couldn't
find any information on how to upgrade it.
I waited for a quiet period (summer holiday) to ensure the users would not appeal to the short-term protection (disk replicas), and I made a few extra tape backups. I documented everything about my current DPM setup, deleted all replicas and reinstalled
everything to 2012R2. Incidentally, someone asked for a restore during the upgrade process, which afterwards, I could provide partly thanks to the great script found at this site:
Catalog tapes in library powershell
It's a Powershell script that catalogs every tape that's mounted in the library, lists their contents including backup dates, and puts it in a text file. Using that documentation, those tapes could be quickly identified, imported and their contents read (which
DPM did surprisingly quickly for LTO5's).
Also, I would like to mention I was able to thoroughly test the entire upgrade process very well using VM's with this nice piece of software installed:Firestreamer - it emulates a
tape library, which enabled me to see what would happen if you try to read tapes from older DPM versions into new ones. Great piece of software.

Scenario #1
The following command will create a Task Scheduler task named
DailyFolder1Backup with the start time of 23:00.
This task will run DAILY with the HIGHESTprivileges. It will run the Windows Server Backup CLI to backup
g:\folder1 to target volume
F:.
SCHTASKS /Create /SC DAILY /TN
DailyFolder1Backup /RL HIGHEST /ST 23:00/TR
"wbadmin start backup –backupTarget:F: -include:g\folder1
-vsscopy -quiet"
Scenario #2
The following command will create a Task Scheduler task named
DailyFolder2Backup with the start time of 24:00.
This task will run DAILY with the HIGHESTprivileges. It will run the Windows Server Backup CLI to backup
h:\folder2 to target volume
F:.
SCHTASKS /Create /SC DAILY /TN
DailyFolder2Backup/RL HIGHEST /ST 24:00/TR

Child partition backup failled in DPM 2012

Hello All,
Child partition snapshot backup failed because DPM agent unreachable. DPM agent is ok when not taking backup. but when start synchronizing the DPM agent services filled. As a result Protection backup failed after some times. please suggest

Hi
If you do a manual backup or run a consistency check what happens?
after you did the agent install did you do a reboot? Have you tried reinstalling the agent manually and setting the DPM server?

How to manage Work group Computer through SCCM 2012 R2

Hello..Experts,
We have to manage the Workgroup Computers both Linux and windows Environment through SCCM 2012 R2.
what are limitation associated with managing Workgroup computer both with Linux and windows Computers through SCCM.
Please help us how to achieve this.

Windows devices that are Workgroup members have the same features for management as domain joined devices except that it is slightly more difficult to get the client installed on these 'unmanaged' devices.
The Linux computers have only basic support for Inventory, Application Management, and Compliance.
I hope that helps,

How to bring up mulitpe connections through a terminal server

Ok, I have never been able to figure this out. I have a Cisco 2511 terminal server. Is there a way when using SecureCRT to bring up multiply devices going through the terminal server. What i keep doing is ctrl-shft-6-x but that's only going to be displayed on the same terminal window. I want to have multipe tabs open to the other devices. Other then putting a IP on all the devices and not using the terminal server while telneting I just can't seam to find a way. On videos like CBT nugget he goes through multipe tabs for his devices. I figued there has to be a way.

I believe that this approach should work:
- open a session with SecureCRT.
- telnet to the term server.
- use the term server to open a console session to one device.
- open a new tab in SecureCRT.
- in the new tabl telnet to the term server.
- use the term server to open a console session to another device.
- open a new tab in SecureCRT.
- in the new tab telnet to the term server.
- use the term server to open a console session to another device.
This approach should work up to the max number of vty that are configured. By default that would be 5. You may be able to configure additional vty and if so you should be able to have additional sessions to additional devices.

How to make WinTPC a direct VDI w/2012 Server from login(SSO) Pooled VM Collection SOLVED !

Pre-Reqs:
WinTPC machines must be domain joined
All VDI infrastructure is 2012(RD Web, CB, VH, GW) you might be able to use 2008R2 I did not use any so dunno..
All certificates must be in place for SSO
1. Setup 2012 VDI infrastructure to use SSO
2.Set group policy applied to WinTPC machines OU to allow Credential Delegation see:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rds/archive/2007/04/19/how-to-enable-single-sign-on-for-my-terminal-server-connections.aspx
3. Steal the RDP file from RDWeb (do a view source to get the path to the RDP file then download it) place in a network location, we use a folder in netlogon. Alternatively you could create your own RDP file and include the loadbalanceinfo:s:tsv://VMResource.1.MYPOOLEDCOLLECTION_Name
4. Use a GPO to set a Custom Interface on the WinTPC machines it should execute a powershell or vbscript that runs the .rdp file, in our case we use a logon script to copy a powershell script to the local machine, then use that
as the custom interface, it loops watching for the mstsc process to end..when it does it logs the user off. (sample)
#VDI-RDP.ps1
& 'c:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe' c:\start\myrdpfile.rdp
sleep -s 10
while(get-process mstsc){sleep -s 10}
logoff.exe
Custom Interface GPO is here:
User\Administrative Templates\System\Custom User Interface\
"powershell.exe" -windowstyle hidden c:\start\vdirdp.ps1
Voila !
When domain users login to the WinTPC they get a VDI session only... once they close the session either by logging off or closing the RDP session.. they are logged off of the WinTPC machine
MS really should document this somewhere.. not everyone wants to access VDI from RDweb.... :( nor do they wish to have to authenticate multiple times...
Good luck with it !

Thank you dear Steve for the detailed steps,
I have an issue to set the RD Web Access for SSO.
I followed below article without success and I saw your comment.
http://www.anilerduran.com/index.php/2012/sso-single-sign-on-thoughts-on-rds-remote-desktop-services-2012/
I am using RDS 2012 R2 environment.
Could you please provide more steps on how to run SSO for the RD Web?:
Point Number 2 is not clear.
To turn on Windows Authentication:
- uncomment <authentication mode="Windows"/> section
- and comment out:
1) <authentication mode="Forms"> section.
2) <modules> and <security> sections in <system.webServer> section at the end of the file.
3) Optional: Windows Authentication will work in https. However, to turn off https, disable 'Require SSL' for both RDWeb and RDWeb/Pages VDIR.
Launch IIS Manager UI, click on RDWeb VDIR, double click on SSL Settings in the middle pane, uncheck 'Require SSL' and
click Apply in the top right in the right pane. Repeat the steps for RDWeb/Pages VDIR.
Kind regards,

How do i change netbios name in windows 2012 server

Hi,
i have create Ad on windows 2012 server and i have enter netbios name with end 0. now problem is when try to access any user it show netbios name there. is it possible that i can change netbios name or why it show netbios name.

Hi,
We can use the active directory rename tools to rename domain NetBIOS name. But it is a complex and risky process.
For more information about how to use random.exe to rename domain name, please refer to the following article:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732097.aspx
Besides, renaming of the NetBIOS domain name is not supported in any version of Exchange Server.

Incremental Backups Not Working - DPM 2012 R2

Hi
Having a strange issue where incremental backups in some situations are not working, however the daily full backup is succeeding.
This doesn't seem to be a SQL instance issue, in that within the same protection group, on the same sql instance, the incremental backups are working on other databases.
All of the databases are set to full recovery model, and I'm not seeing any failed jobs (although when I check the jobs, the only scheduled job is the full backup, none for the incremental backups are listed (which isn't the case for the databases that are
incrementally backing up).
What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
I recommend the following to start troubleshooting for one of the problem databases that incremental backups seem to not take place on. Carry out the below.
From DPM console select the protection tab navigate to one of the problem SQL DBs.
Select Recovery Point from the top ribbon.
Within the Create recovery point Window if you identify that the second radio button (figure 1 is greyed out) DPM thinks the SQL DB in question is in a recovery model of simple.
Ensure the SQLDBs in question are set to a recovery model of Full or Bulk-logged.
Select the protection tab navigate to Protection Group with the problem SQLDB select Modify Protection Group. From the select group member’s page select the Server in question and then select Refresh button step through the rest of the wizard and select
update group at the end.
Note if you do not see the refresh button just walk thought the rest of the modify protection group wizard and select update group at the end.

How to deploy Cisco ISE agents through SCCM 2012 R2

Hi,
We are deploying Cisco ISE in our setup. we need to deploy following 3 .msi & 1 .xml files to 3000 PCs through System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager.
The configuration.xml file must be deployed in specified (%ProgramData%\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\NetworkAccessManager\newConfigFiles) location.
anyconnect-nam-win-4.0.02052-k9.msi
anyconnect-win-4.0.02052-pre-deploy-k9.msi
nacagentsetup-win-4.9.0.42.msi
configuration.xml
The above 3 .msi files should be installed silently and configuration.xml file to be copied to said location.
I want to create one package to deploy 3.msi files at once and another package for .xml file.
or
Is there anyway to create in one package to install the .msi files first and copy the .xml file as well.
Any idea please.

I have just installed 2 fresh servers.
DPM1
DPM2
DPM1 is online and working great but when I setup DPM2 I installed the agent to DPM1 so that I could have a secondary server to backup all of DPM1 information. When creating the protection group I double clicked on DPM1 and received this.
Any help would really be appreciated.

Hi
Why dont you backup DPM sql database to a share then backup the share with DPM2?

Branch Office Direct Printing - server offline?

Hi All,
We are implementing Branch Office Direct Printing and I have a question about when the server is down or, in the case of a WAN connection to/from the branch going down, the client being unable to reach the server.
I could have sworn I originally read about Windows 8/2012 being smart enough to send the print job straight from the client to the printer in cases where it can't talk to the server, but now I seem unable to locate that information. Is that indeed
the case (hopefully)?
Thanks,
Wes

Branch Office Direct Printing may benefit your organization in the following ways:
Client      computers running Windows Server 2012 obtain printer information from the      print server, but send the
print jobs directly to the printer. The print      data no longer travels to the central server and then back to the branch      office printer.
The      printer information is cached in the branch office, so that if the print      server is unavailable for some
reason (for example if the WAN link to the      data center is down), then it is still possible for the user to print.
The      client computer renders the print job before sending it to the printer.      The major difference between Branch Office Direct
Printing and Client-Side      Rendering (CSR) is that Branch Office Direct Printing does not send the      print job to the server. Instead the job is sent directly to the printer,      resulting
in a significant reduction in network bandwidth usage when the      printers are centrally managed.

DPM 2012 R2 failing on backup of BMR and System State

We are running DPM 2012 R2 on Windows Server 2012 and I am trying to protect another Windows 2012 Server with a Bare Metal Recovery and system state but it fails on initial synchronization. I get the following error in DPM:
DPM failed to create the backup. If you are backing up only System State, verify if there is enough free space on the protected computer to store the System State backup. On protected computers running Windows Server2008, verify that Windows Server
Backup (WSB) is installed and that it is not performing any other backup or recovery task. (ID 30214 Details: Internal error code: 0x80990ED0)
This is a new server and there is 65.7 GB of 99.9 GB free on the C drive. 131 of 136 GB free on the F drive. The P drive only has 100 MB free of 36.3 GB but that is where the pagefile is located, nothing else is on the P drive.
Would that be a problem or is that irrelevant?
The replica volume is 30 GB and the recovery point volume is 6.06 GB. I tried increasing the replica volume all the way up to 200 GB and the recovery point volume to 30 GB but that didn't matter.
Why is this not working?

Hi,
Try this and troubleshoot any errors along the way.
1) Set up a network share on a remote machine
\\server\bmrshare
2) From an administrative command prompt on the Protected Server you want the BMR backup for, type:
wbadmin.exe start backup -allcritical -backuptarget:\\server\bmrshare
This should show you the list of volumes included in the BMR backup and ask "Do you want to start the backup operation?. - Type
Y to continue..
3) Once completed, see how large the BMR backup is on the remote server, then resize the DPM replica accordingly to accommodate the size of the manual BMR backup.
