In Windows Server 2008 : Powershell can't import-module ActiveDirectory

Hi,
Thank you in advance for any possible help.
I am using Windows Server 2008 with a x64 machine and I have Powershell 3.0.
After searching for similar problems, I found that I have to install the patches KB969166, KB968934, KB967574, KB968930.
This was done and as a result, the "Web Service Active Directory" appeared in "services".
However, the "ActiveDirectory Module for Windows Powershell" is still not visible in "Windows Features" .
What can I do to make it appear ?
Is there a different way to go so I can have "ActiveDirectory" module in the list of modules I can import in Powershell 3.0 ?
Actually, the command "import-module ActiveDirectory" results in a Not Found error.
I would really appreciate your help.
Thank you !
Bill

Hi Bill,
You can't use the Active Directory module on WS2008, it requires WS2008R2 at a minimum.

Windows server 2008 R2 can't apply permissions properly.

Hello all.
How are you?
I added some groups in Active directory and join some members to them. When I apply permission to Folders via this groups, Permission not apply properly. For example, my group is RWD (Read-Write-Delete) and it have three members, When I add this group in
security--> advanced and choose create file and folders section, Users can't create file and folder !!! I also choose "Reply all child object...." . Can you tell me what is the problem?
If I want users create and edit file, Must i choose "Delete" and "Delete subfolders and files" ?
Thank you.

This one may help.

Now, how i can do in order to solve this problem.
Thanks!

Hi,
Take a look at the admin guide (Page 75, 119, 159):
[http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700000150922010E.zip]
If you installed a firewall on the license service computer, make sure that the firewall is not set to port 30000; otherwise, the license service cannot work.
If you are using Port X, make sure that you open Port X and Port (X+1) in the firewall. For example, if you are using port 10000, make sure to also open port 10001.
The default communication port is 1143.
The default port of the SAP Business One license server is 30000 for license communication and 30001 for the license naming service

Cannot install SQL Server Native Client 2012 on Windows Server 2008 Data Center

Is it possible to install SQL Server Native Client 11.0 (SQL Server 2012) on Windows Server 2008 Datacenter?
I tried to install it, but I get this error message:
"Installation of this product failed because it is not supported on this operating system. For information on supported configurations, see the product documentation."
Based on this article (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc280356.aspx), I see one of the supported operating system is Windows Server 2008.

Hello,
Can you try to download and install Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 from the following link, and then reinstall the SQL Server Native Client 11.0 again?
http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=16468
Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Native Client is included in the SQL Server 2012 Feature Pack. Based on the requirement of
the download page , you should apply SP2 for Windows Server 2008.

Compatibility Exchange Server 2003 SP2 and Domain controllers Windows Server 2008 R2

Hi all, I have this scenario:
- Two Domain Controllers Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2
- Two mail servers Exchange Server 2003 with the following version:
6.5 (Build 7638.2 Service Pack 2)
I want to upgrade my domain controllers to Windows Server 2008 R2.
My question is whether exchange Server 2003 6.5 (Build 7638.2 Service Pack 2) is supported with Domain Controllers Windows Server 2008 R2.
Can you tell me some official Microsoft website where this reflected?

Exchange Server 2003 SP2 supports DCs running Windows Server 2008 R2. These DCs should be RWDCs and not RODCs:
Exchange 2003 SP2 will now be supported against writeable Windows Server 2008 R2 Active Directory Servers. Additionally, with the General Availability of Exchange Server 2010, and those looking to standardize on Windows
Server 2008 R2 we have enhanced the supportability of forest and domain functional levels up to Windows Server 2008 R2. This change is effective immediately on Exchange 2003 SP2.

Powershell 4.0 on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

I have installed .Net Framework 4.5.1, and Powershell 4.0, and having some issues with some cmdlets; primarily dealing with scheduled tasks. Is Get-ScheduledTask available when Powershell 4.0 running on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 r2? I
can't seem to find the module to import, and no modules with schedule in their name shows up with running Get-Module -listavailable.
thanks.

Hi,
No, those cmdlets are only available on WS2012+ or W8+.

PowerShell Script running Excel won't run on Windows Server 2008 R2

I have a script that creates a report of a single example of each warning or error in the Windows Event log, for each server in a list of servers,with the number of times that error has occurred in the last week on each server. It creates this report in
Excel. I have this script running automated through Task Scheduler for one client on Windows 7 and it's working perfectly. I have another client that I am attempting to run this script automated on a server running Windows Server 2008 R2. I can manually run
the script and everything works, but if I try to schedule the script everything works except for the Excel PowerShell commands. I've have tried:
Created the Desktop folders for config\systemprofile in System32 and in SysWOW64.
Configured permissions in DCOM for Microsoft Excel Application.
Configured folder permissions for config\systemprofile.
Verified PowerShell is working.
Unchecked the option in the task to only run while logged on.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and how I can fix it? Thanks!
Sincerely,
Christopher Beard

You might have to launch the application once as the system account so that it can set up the Excel environment, I've had the same problem when trying to update Excel files from an admin Powershell console using my admin account. Use psexec with
a -s option to run it as system account locally while logged on to the target server:
psexec -s "c:\program files (x86)\microsoft office\office14\excel.exe"
Then you'll most likely be prompted to input initials - which is what I suspect is preventing your code from running properly.
There may be some other more elegant way to handle this, but you'd be better off asking that question in one of the forums devoted to Office products.
I hope this post has helped!

Windows Server 2008 R2: Using PowerShell to send a MSI file to all workstations

Hello!
We are currently using Windows Server 2008 R2. In the upcoming months, we are releasing new software. Instead of touching all the machines with gpupdate /force, we would like to know if we could somehow use Windows PowerShell and send that
command to all the computers in our organization? We are currently in the process of using Group Policy Management to set up the new GPO. After we create them, we would like to send the MSI file to all workstations. I know it is SUPER easy to do within Windows
Server 2012... as I have read articles and seen screenshots. I am just having a hard time figuring out how to make it work with Windows Server 2008 R2.
Thanks!
Megan

New-PSSession -computername Computer
where Computer is one of your remote computers. If that succeeds, great! But I'm guessing it won't and enabling that on all of your computers would require more effort than what you're trying to accomplish in the first place.
Psexec is free to download and you don't have to deploy it:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx
As far as identifying your target computers, it really depends on your environment. Get-ADComputer is effective, but the example I provided above would get literally every computer in your active directory - is this something you want to deploy to
any and all servers, workstations, etc? How big and complex is your AD? Is this something you need to coordinate with all your systems around about the same time, or can it be staggered? Do you expect your target computers not to reboot between
now and then? I know that's a lot of questions, but your question is loaded and not easy to answer without knowing more about your environment.
What about this?
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj134201.aspx
There is a requirement to have certain firewall exceptions on your target systems, but hopefully they are because that is the best approach.
I hope this post has helped!

Dear Awinish,
Your link very my solution. but i'm very basic with Powershell and I never have experience with it.
This is the link original script that you are provide:
function Select-FileDialog
param([string]$Title,[string]$Directory,[string]$Filter="CSV Files (*.csv)|*.csv")
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms") | Out-Null
$objForm = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.OpenFileDialog
$objForm.InitialDirectory = $Directory
$objForm.Filter = $Filter
$objForm.Title = $Title
$objForm.ShowHelp = $true
$Show = $objForm.ShowDialog()
If ($Show -eq "OK")
Return $objForm.FileName
Else
Exit
$FileName = Select-FileDialog -Title "Import an CSV file" -Directory "C:"
$ExchangeUsersOU = "OU=ExchangeUsers" # I don understand, I have all users are store in all-users ou
$domain = [System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Forest]::GetCurrentForest()
$DomainDN = (([System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Forest]::GetCurrentForest()).Domains | ? {$_.Name -eq $domain}).GetDirectoryEntry().distinguishedName
$final = "LDAP://$DomainDN"
$DomainPath = [ADSI]"$final"
$cOU = $DomainPath.Create("OrganizationalUnit",$ExchangeUsersOU)
$cOU.SetInfo()
$UserInformation = Import-Csv $FileName
$OUPath = "LDAP://$ExchangeUsersOU,$DomainDN" # I don understand
$UserPath = [ADSI]"$OUPath"
Write-Host "---------------------------------------------------------------"
Write-Host "Creating LAB Users"
Write-Host ""
Write-Host "---------------------------------------------------------------"
Foreach ($User in $UserInformation){
$CN = $User.samAccountName
$SN = $User.Surname
$Given = $User.givenName
$samAccountName = $User.samAccountName
$Display = $User.DisplayName
$LABUser = $UserPath.Create("User","CN=$CN")
Write-Host "Creating User: $User.samAccountName"
$LABUser.Put("samAccountName",$samAccountName)
$LABUser.Put("sn",$SN)
$LABUser.Put("givenName",$Given)
$LABUser.Put("displayName",$Display)
$LABUser.Put("mail","$samAccountName@$domain")
$LABUser.Put("description", "Lab User - created via Script")
$LABUser.Put("userPrincipalName","$samAccountName@$domain")
$LABUser.SetInfo()
$Pwrd = $User.Password
$LABUser.psbase.invoke("setPassword",$Pwrd)
$LABUser.psbase.invokeSet("AccountDisabled",$False)
$LABUser.psbase.CommitChanges()
Write-Host "Script Completed"
If posible, could you help to correct script as: I have domain name: hello.net. All user are store in all-users ou.

Can I install Acrobat in a Windows Server 2008 for many users?

I'm looking for a solution for my enterprise to install Adobe Acrobat in Windows Server 2008 R2, where the users connect by remote desktop. I'm looking for a form for they use Acrobat by the same form they uses now Reader. But not for all, only for some of this users.
I called a responsible and he told me that I can install Acrobat for some users in Windows Server 2008 R2, but I'm not sure if that solution will be legal.
Can I buy a special license for it or I have to buy a license for each user? How can I proceed to do this, if it's possible?
Thanks in advance for you attention!

Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
<pre><nowiki>lockPref("app.update.enabled", false);</nowiki></pre>

How can I fix this printer error with Samsung SCX-4300 and SCX-4521f on Windows Server 2008 R2?

I have two printers installed on Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit):
1. Samsung SCX-4521f
2. Samsung SCX-4300
There are two computers (Windows 7 Professional, 32-Bit) connected to this server that utilise these shared printers.
The drivers installed are as follows:
SCX-4x21_Win7_Print.exe (Win 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Win 7 3.04.96:03 Print Driver 11 Dec, 2009 12.37 MULTI LANGUAGE)
SCX-4300_Print.exe (Win 2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Win 7(32,64bit) 3.04.95:07 Print Driver Jan 19, 2011 53.07 MULTI LANGUAGE)
After printing documents for some time (within a 24 period) the printers no longer respond to print requests.
On the server opening "Control Panel\Hardware\Devices and Printers" shows the two printers with yellow exclamation marks.
The "SCX-4x21" printer shows the "Status" as "Needs troubleshooting" and "Printer: Error".
The "SCX-4300" printer shows the "Status" as "Needs troubleshooting".
Neither will print a test page.
Searching for new drivers automatically returns saying: "The best driver software for your device is already installed".
The error persists and nothing will print.
When double-clicking on the "SCX-4x21" printer (or going to "Control Panel\Hardware\Devices and Printers\Samsung SCX-4x21 Series") you see the following:
"Printer: Error" and "N document(s) in queue".
Clicking on either of these brings up the print queue and shows a document with the status of "Error - Printing".
As each job with an error is cancelled the next one attempts to print and also displays an error like the last.
Once all the jobs are cleared the printer information says "Printer: Ready".
Sending a "Print Test Page" sends the printer into an error state saying "Printer: Error".
With the "SCX-4300", sending a "Print Test Page" displays a bubble saying: "Toner Empty: Replace Toner".
However, I can't see any specific error messages.
How do I find out what exactly "Needs troubleshooting"?
Please can anyone advise further?

The printer (SCX-4300) has stopped again.
Since it has been stopped I have done your recommendations:
Unticked the "Enable bidirectional support" option under the "Ports" tab in the printer properties.
Set the "Interactive Services Detection" to Automatic and started it.
Unfortunately the printer did not start printing, the print jobs did not restart or delete.
I decided to check the Operational logs that we enabled.
The first job I see goes like this:
Information: Rendering job 41.
Error: The print spooler failed to delete the file C:\Windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS\00041.SHD, error code 0x2. See the event user data for context information.
Information: The print job 41 was sent through the print processor SSE1MPC on printer Samsung SCX-4300 Series, driver Samsung SCX-4300 Series, in the isolation mode 1 (0 - loaded in the spooler, 1 - loaded in shared sandbox, 2 - loaded in isolated
sandbox). Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 0x0.
Information:Printing job 41.
Information:Spooling job 41.
This job actually printed.
Other jobs printed fine with no error.
There are no other errors in the "Operational" log other than the "print spooler failed to delete" error.
Any ideas what to try now?
Update: Unticking the "Enable bidirectional support", clearing the print queue and then trying again seems to have fixed the problem for now.

Can I install Solution Manager 7.0 in Window Server 2008 R2 Enterprise ed.?

Hi, SDN experts.
I am trying to install Solution Manager 7.0 in in Window Server 2008 R2?
I checked the the software requirement for SAP Solution Manager 7.0, it only mentioned Window Server 2003 and 2008 enterprise edition.
I am trying to install Solution Manager 7.0 in in Window Server 2008 R2 enterprise edition?
When I ran the Solution Manager Master Installer, the Pre-requisite Checker gave a warning message saying that it detected incompatible server version, that the server version is Windows NT 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) (I guess it meant Window Server 2008 R2).
=======
The following Windows operating system version is supported: Windows Server 2003 (i.e. Version 5.2) and Windows Server 2008 (i.e. Version 6.0).
Current Windows version: Version 6.1, Service Pack 1.0, productive type: Server.
You can check the current version of you operating system by runningu2026u2026..
========
Can I actually install Solution Manager 7.0 in Window Server 2008 R2? Will this cause problem during the installation/post-installation if I ignore this message?
Thanks,
KC

Hi,
I think it is not straight forward to install SAP Solution Manager 7.0 in MS Window Server 2008 R2.
I am installing Solution Manager 7.0 , the installation encountered error on Create Java Users step (Phase 31 of 44). When I login to SAP solution Manager system through SAP GUI. I encountered this error:
"OS release Windows NT 6.1 7601 Service Pack 1 4x AMD64 Level 6 (Mod 44 Step 2) is not supported with this kernel (700)'
I found that it is because I am installing SAP Solution Manger 7.0 in MS Window Server 2008 R2, which the existing kernel version does not support.
Do you know which kernel I should install?
I browsed in:
SAP Application Components" SAP SOLUTION MANAGER" SAP SOLUTION MANAGER 7.0" Entry by Component" Solution Manager ABAP Stack
SAP KERNEL 7.00 64-BIT UNICODE --> Windows Server on x64 64bit -->MS SQL SERVER
I downloaded:
SAPEXEDB_291-20001361.SAR Kernel Part II (for Basis 7.00) 291
Is this the right Kernel patch I should use?
If it is the right kernel patch file, how do I apply the latest kernel to existing Solution Manager system? Can you give me some guidance on this?
Thanks,
KC
