Hyper-V vSwitch on a NIC-Team (Server 2012 R2) has limited connectivity

Hi,
I have two servers both running Server 2012 R2. One of these servers is serving as a DC and is working fine. The other is supposed to be a Hyper-V-Host, but I cannot get networking working on this system. Both systems have Hyper-V role installed. Both have
2 NICs configured as a team. The team is configured as switch-independent, Hyper-V-Port, None (all adapters active). A Hyper-V-Switch using this team as external network is configured and is shared with the host operating system. This should work fine and
does on one of the servers. On the other I get a warning sign stating limited connectivity. The server seems to sent packages but it receives none. Deleting the switch and simply using the team for network access works fine. So it has to be related to the
switch. But I do not know what's wrong with it. Any ideas?
Regards,
Oliver

Hi ogerlach_isw,
Generally please don’t install others role on Hyper-V server, if your DC using NIC teaming, please break the teaming then monitor this issue again.

Does DPM 2012 R2 still needs DataSourceGroups.xml and MaxAllowedParallelBackups key when using Hyper-V VSS Software Writer to backup Server 2012 R2 Cluster

Hi,
Does DPM 2012 R2 still needs DataSourceGroups.xml and MaxAllowedParallelBackups key when using Hyper-V VSS Software Writer to backup Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster with CSV's? Can't find a clear answer somewhere.
Thanx for helping me out.
DJITS.

Configure CSV backups
If you are running Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008 R2 and you’re backing up multiple clusters with DPM, you need to ensure that only one backup uses the same CSV at any one time. To do this, follow the instructions in
Serialize virtual machine backups.
If you’re using software VSS with Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008 R2, do the following
Serialize virtual machine backups per node
Serialize virtual machine backups per CSV LUN

NIC teaming - Server 2008 R2 DC combined with other Software

Hello!
I've been searching all morning for an answer of what we have in mind to do at work....
We've got a server installed with Windows Server 2008 R2 and have 4 NICs on it. We want to make it a DC (with DNS, DHCP and print services) and also want to install our Backup Solution (from Veeam) for our VMs. This server will be the only physical Microsoft
server next to our 3 ESX servers at the end.
I read here (http://markparris.co.uk/2010/02/09/top-tipactive-directory-domain-controllers-and-teamed-network-cards/) that there is a statement that a DC with NIC teaming is only using the FO (Fail-Over) feature of the teaming. Since there is also the backup
solution on this server, it would be great also to use the LB (Load-Balancing) feature. My question is, when I active NIC teaming and install the DC roles, does the roles just use the FO feature and neglect the LB feature or does it enable/disable those modes/features
of NIC teaming? Cause it would be nice if the backup solution could use the LB for bigger bandwidth for backup and restores and I wouldn't really care about the FO for the DC role.
cheers
Ivo

Hi,
I think the issue is related to the third party NIC teaming solution. You can refer to the third party manufacture.
Here I should remind you something else, a DC with multiple NICs will cause many problems. So I would recommend you run a dedicated
Hyper-v server and promote a DC on one of the virtual machine.
Hope this helps.

1) Boot Hyper-V from cheap SATA or even USB stick (see link below). No point in wasting SSD for that. Completely agree with Eric. See:
Run Hyper-V from USB Flash
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj733589.aspx
2) Don't use RAID controllers in RAID mode rather (as you already got them) stick with HBA mode passing disks AS IS, add some more SSDs and configure Storage Spaces in RAID10 equivalent mode and use SSDs as a flash cache. See:
Storage Spaces Overview
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831739.aspx
Because having single pool touching all spindles would provide you better IOPS compared to creating "islands of storage" that are waste or performance and hell of management.
3) Come up with IOPS requirements for your workload (no idea from above) keeping in mind RAID10 provides ALL IOPS for reads and half IOPS for writes (because of mirroring). So as single SATA can do maybe 120-150 IOPS and single SAS can do up to 200 (you
don't provide any model names so we have to guess) you may calculate how many IOPS your config would give away in a best and worst case scenario (write back cache from above will help but you always need to come from a WORST case). See calculator link below.

Hope this helped a bit :)

Server 2012 RTM Remote Desktop Connection Broker Role Won't Install

Hey guys,
I have been searching for and trying fixes for this for 3 days, and I've gotten no where. Thanks in advance for trying to help me out.
Here's the situation:
I have a brand new installation of the Windows Server 2012 Datacenter 64-Bit RTM from MSDN. This is my one and only server (just my personal one for home), so I'm using this single server to run all of the services that I need. After a fresh
installation, I added the AD and DNS roles and promoted the server to the PDC. Then I go to add the Remote Desktop Virtualization Services (the VM virtualization role). The installation fails, but I can't find any explanation as to why.
I've wiped out the OS and reinstalled from scratch at leat 15 times, trying various combinations, fixes, approaches, etc. including powershell, Remote Desktop Services Deployment, standard role-based deployment, etc.
Using the role-based deployment, I can get every 'Remote Desktop Services' component to install except the Remote Desktop Connection Broker. I've tried enabling RDMSUI_TRACING, but didn't get any information at all as to why it's failing. I also
cannot find RDMSDeploymentUI.txt log.
I've also tried to deploy this using Powershell using this command:
New-SessionDeployment [-ConnectionBroker] <string> [-WebAccessServer] <string> [-SessionHost] <string>
That particular item does provide some error messages, but they seem to complain about the Session Host not being able to install due to not being able to find the connection string key in the registry for the Windows Internal Database. However, I can
get the session host and every other component to install using role-based deployment, except the Connection Broker.
I've run an SFC scan, which found no issues. I've also tried applying the one update available in Microsoft Update, and tried it without applying that update (reinstalling between attempts of course).
I'm completely at a loss. Has anyone encountered this before? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Is there a powershell command for just installing the Connection Broker that might provide some additional error information, or any
information at all?
I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could offer. I'm willing to try anything. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
Sincerely,
Dominick

Also Found this:
1. You try to install the Remote Desktop Connection Broker (RDCB) on a server that also has the Active Directory Domain Server (domain
controller) role installed. This configuration is not supported by Microsoft. You need to install the RDCB on a server that does not have this role installed. See: Remote Desktop Services role cannot co-exist with AD DS role on Windows Server 2012 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2799605
2. If you don’t have the Active Directory Domain Service install, this issue might be caused by the Windows internal database (WID) that
the connection broker installs and the Windows Update KB2821895. If you have KB2821895 installed, unfortunately you can not uninstall this KB. Try to install the Remote Desktop Connection Broker (RDBC) role on a server that does not have this Windows update.
Note: There is currently no official communication from Microsoft that here is an issue with RDBC and KB2821895. However, try the RDBC installation
without this KB and see what happens.

Sql Server 2012 Evaluation - How many connection allowed ?

Hi all
I'm testing the replication, everything Works fine, but I'd like to know how many connections allow the evaluation of the SQL Server versión I'm testing on.
We are testing 2 stores with 2 server in replica with about 20 users in each side. So we can get an idea of the prices of the licences my customer have to buy.
Thank you very much.
James Smiths

SQL 2012 license usually is per core and/or per CAL and it depends on the edition.
All editions don't impose any limit on connections but rather on maximum memory, CPUs and other features.
You need first to decide which SQL version suits your needs (and your hardware) and then call for suggestions and prices.

Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Connection Broker

I have installed RDS on a server named PLUTO on which Windows 2012 R2 datacenter is in. There is a domain controller (domain name: AGROSY) running on a Linux server. We have used Samba 3.6.6 to control the file sharing system.
When I attempt to install RDS in Server Manager, it states as following: could not retrieve the deployment information from RD connection broker server pluto.AGROSY.
Then, I searched a lot of solutions, e.g. and tried as following:
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName pluto --> which works;
but Enter-PSSession -ComputerName pluto.AGROSY --> which gives the error message as: Enter-PSSession : Connecting to remote server pluto.AGROSY failed with the following error message : WinRM cannot process the request. The following
error with errorcode 0x80090311 occurred while using Kerberos authentication: There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.
If I ping the pluto.AGROSY, it works as well.
I have no idea how it can be solved, please help me out. Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Thanks for your comment. Sorry for late reply.
Initially please enable the PowerShell remoting in your case.
Enable-PSRemoting
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh849694.aspx
For FQDN name, please see that RDCB is properly configured and also certificate which you have used for RDS environment must be trusted with its private key and must match the FQDN name of the server. Did you seen the certificate has been properly used and
configured. You can go through following article for certificate and also for configuring RDCB role.

Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2 has 0 Settings available

I've updated SCM with the 8.1/2012 R2 automatic updates. However, when trying to add an 8.1 or 2012 R2 setting, SCM says there are 0 settings available:
The particular setting I'm looking to add to my custom pack is User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Edge UI - Disable help tips. If I select Windows 8 as the product, I at least have
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Edge UI, but the specific setting is not there. Is this setting missing completely from SCM, or would it be available to me if I had a list of settings when selecting Windows 8.1?
I did notice that User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Edge UI - Disable help tips is in the Win8.1 User Security Compliance 1.0 baseline. That makes me wonder if it should be available when selecting 8.1 as
the product. I'd appreciate any help with this. Thanks.

Sql server 2012 express - tcp/ip connection to named instance using dynamic port not working

I have a named instance on a SQL 2012 Express server that won't connect via TCP/IP when wanting to connect off of the dynamic port. I can connect via shared memory locally on the server.   I can connect to the namespace when specifying the
dynamic port listed in the configuration manager.
This is the only named instance on the server and it is not the default.
TCP/IP is enabled
Allow Remote connections is enabled
the server browser service is running
I can connect via the dynamic port number
I am testing the connection locally on the server, so I don't believe a firewall is the issue. I get the same results if I test it from a remote computer.
When using the sqlcmd (sqlcmd -S tcp:SQLSRVR\NAMEINST -E) I get the message that "the requested protocol isn't supported [xfffffffff]".   The command (sqlcmd -S tcp:SQLSRVR\NAMEINST,59992 -E) works.
Through SSMS, I get the message "the connection was actively refused".
On other boxes, I can connect with the named instance without having to specify the port.
I have looked through the sql logs and nothing much shows up. The log does show that is listening on the port # for ipv4 and ipv6.   There is also a line in there talking about the SPN not being registered and not to worry about it if
you are not using Kerberos. I logged in through shared memory and it said I was using NTLM.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks.

Hi clw,
I’m writing to follow up with you on this post. According to your description, I do a test, if you configure the database engine to listen on a specific TCP port (59992), and
the port is opened in the firewall. If you want to connect to the SQL Server instance, you 'd better to
use the port number.
In my opinion, by default, the default instance of the Database Engine uses port 1433, usually, if you have configured the server to listen on a non-default port number, when an instance of SQL Server uses dynamic port allocation, the connection string that
is built at the SQL Server client does not specify the destination TCP/IP port unless the user or the programmer explicitly specifies the port. Therefore, the SQL Server client library queries the server on UDP port 1434 to collect the information about the
destination instance of SQL Server.
If UDP port 1434 is disabled, the SQL Server client cannot dynamically determine the port of the named instance of SQL Server. Therefore, the SQL Server client may be unable to connect to the named instance of SQL Server. In this situation, the SQL Server
client must specify the dynamically allocated port where the named instance of SQL Server is listening.
For more information about configuring an instance of SQL Server to listen on a specific TCP port or dynamic port, you can review the following article.
https://support.transfrm.com/entries/503111-How-to-configure-an-instance-of-SQL-Server-to-listen-on-a-specific-TCP-port-or-dynamic-port

Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Connection Broker, Server Name Change.

We have a server that was the connection broker, We changed its name and now the connection broker wont recognize the new name. It continutes to want the old server. Unfortunately we cant change it back. Is there a fix for this?
We tried the powershell command but it doesnt see the old server name and errors out.

Hi,
Changing the name of a RD Connection Broker server is not supported. If you are able to remove RD Connection Broker Role Service and install a new RDS deployment you may be able to get it working again (with perhaps a few registry fixes),
but you will lose all of the configuration data associated with your deployment. If you have a very basic RDS deployment it may not be a big deal to recreate the collections, configure settings, publish
RemoteApps, etc., as they were before.
Another potential option if you were able to temporarily change the name back would be to switch to HA mode with the database stored on the local server (in SQL Express), add another RDCB server, remove RDCB from the original (leaving the SQL Express database
still functional), rename the server, add it back as a RDCB server, then remove RDCB from the second server. I have not tried this procedure but at first glance I believe it should work, although it may be a bit complicated if you are not well versed
with 2012 R2 RDS.
If this is a small environment you may want to consider backing up any data on the servers and then reinstalling all of the RDS servers from scratch.
It is possible to manually fix the issue you are seeing by editing the RDMS database, editing the registries of all the RDS servers, and other related tasks, however, I would not suggest it due to the complexity.

Server 2012 gpo deploy printer connection failed.

Run gpresult.exe /f /h gpresult.html from a command prompt on effected machines and look at what the problem is when applying that GPO.
Post results if you need help understanding it.

Hi,
I want to deploy 5 printers on a domain using gpo.I created a GP to deploy a printer connection to computers in an OU that contained only one computer. The GP also created a mapped drive for the user on the computer. The test was successful but when I added multiple printers and copied the GP to another OU the drive was successfully mapped on all machines but the printers did not appear in the list of printers available on the machines. I decided to remove the printers and place them in a separate OU but when I try to add the printers to the new OU I get an error stating "the specified domain either does not exist or cannot be contacted."
Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

NIC Teaming for hyper-v serve.

I have installed windows server 2012 r2 on server. Server is having network adapters i have given static ip address to both nic's
LAN1: - 192.168.0.100 & LAN2: - 192.168.0.101 after enabling NIC Teaming server have added one more adapter called
"Network Adapter Multiplexor" after this above mentioned ip address are not responding to PING or any requests. Then i have given
192.168.0. 102 ip address to Multiplexor and its started working.
So my question do i need to give ip address to LAN1 &
LAN2 or i can just create team and give ip address to Multiplexor
Also if i installed hyper-v server on it will it give me failover thing for this machine.????
Akshay Pate

Hello Akshay,
In brief, after creating the Teaming adapter (Multiplexor) you'll use it's address for future networking purposes.
Regarding the lack of ping, I had the same "issue" and it seems like is block by the Microsoft code itself. Still couldn't find how to allow it.
When digging into W2k12(&R2) NIC Teaming this two pages were very explanative and usefull:

Enabling NIC teaming on Server slows down RDP connection

You shouldn't run teaming if the adapters are on different subnets; it's used for two adapters in the same subnet

I have psychical host with two NICs running server 2012 R2. Each NIC has it's own separate subnet. Reason why i wanted to enable teaming so i'm able to ping all the IP addresses in both range. After i enabled teaming i was no longer able to RDP in to machine, sometimes it will work but i will be painfully slow and will disconnect shortly after. This machines also hosts 4 VMs and i can RDP in to those VMs without any problem but the psychical host seems to have issues. i also tried to login to that host using logmein but logmein just keeps waiting on screen to load but never does where as VMs on that host work perfectly fine.
When i ping host using another computer on subnet ping response time all seems to be
