Installing a new forest for the first time in 2008 R2 SP1

Installing a new forest for the first time in 2008 R2 SP1 with no other forests present do I run:
E:\support\adprep\adprep /domainprep
or any other adprep to get the forest ready using the Answer File:
[DCINSTALL]
InstallDNS="Yes"
NewDomain="Forest"
NewDomainDNSName="mysite.com"
DomainNetBiosName="MYSITE"
ReplicaOrNewDomain="Domain"
ForestLevel="4"
DomainLevel="4"
CreateDNSDelegation="No"
DatabasePath="C:\Windows\NTDS"
LogPath="C:\Windows\NTDS"
SYSVOLPath="C:\Windows\SYSVOL"
ConfirmGc="Yes"
SafeModeAdminPassword=""
RebootOnCompletion=Yes

Hi,
As per your statement, there aren't any other forest which mean you are creating a new AD forest in windows server 2008 R2 SP1.
You don't need to run adprep then. Just run dcpromo on the server and select new forest and provide a Domain Name and follow the instruction.

  • Installing crystal reports 9 for the first time

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Crystal Reports 9 for the first time.  We just received a package with 4 envelopes including Crystal Reports 9 Advanced, Standard, Professional, and Developer.  Each envelope also includes Crystal Enterprise Report Appliation Server which I don't think I need (or I'm not sure).  I have read a little bit on how I can go online to the SAP Service Marketplace and request license keys.  I have not requested a permanent license key yet.  I believe that I can install Crystal with a temporary key and then input the permanent key later.  What I have done is insert the installation CD for Crystal Reports 9 Developer and then input the product key code found on the back of the Crystal Enterprise Report Application Server CD cover that was packaged with the Crystal Reports 9 Developer CD.  However I get a message saying that the product key code is not valid or has expired.  There is no product key code on the cover for the Crystal Reports 9 Developer CD but there is one on the Crystal Enterprise Report Application Server CD cover so that is why I input it.
    Why is this key code expired?  Please note that I am installing on a test PC before I install on the PC of the user who will be using Crystal for work purposes.  Therefore I wanted to just install with a temporary key if there is such a thing at this time.
    thanks

  • Installing UPK 11.0 for the first Time

    What ports need to be opened when you install UPK 11.0 for the first time on Windows?

    Here are some default ports for you just for reference. The install docs give you no port information whatsoever. :o)
    Default Ports:
    Oracle: 1521
    Microsoft SQL: 1433
    Web Server: 80 (recommended 443)
    If you are going to connect through 443, port 80 is not needed
    Remember as a heads up, if you plan to publish a friendly DNS name and use windows authentication, read this KB article, a reg edit will be required for this to work.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896861
    In Registry Editor, locate and then click the following registry key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MSV1_0
    Right-click MSV1_0, point to New, and then click Multi-String Value.

  • Sync to new PC. How do I sync existing iPhone 4 to the new iTune for the first time?

    I just switch to new PC, and so came with new iTune.  How do I sync existing iPhone 4 to the new iTune for the first time?
    iTune library has no music/app, and i don't want to loose what's on iPhone.  Help!

    Oh no, I now have two more situtations; error 13019 and needed software update for version 5 (iphone). In which order should I do?  I feel so helpless....

  • I turned on my new imac for the first time and it is making a loud fan noise please help

    I just got a new computer and when I turned it on for the first time it started making a loud fan noise. the noise seems like it is coming from the back speaker. and it does not make the noise on sleep mode.

    Connect the iPad to a USB 2.0 port your computer with the cable and iTunes should launch and it will take you through the process step by step.
    I assume that your computer meets the requirements and that you have the latest version of iTunes on your computer.

  • Hooking up my iphone to a new computer for the first time....

    My computer broke and isn't worth fixing so I can't access it again. My mom just bought her a new laptop so I just inherited the one she had been using (actually ended up working out great for me cause it's only a year old and nicer than mine that broke).  My new computer didn't have iTunes on it until I just installed it a few moments ago.
    My question is whether or not I need to be concerned that my iPhone is gonna be erased the first time I plug it into this new computer?  I'm concerned I'll lose all my contacts, apps, photos, settings etc.  Just last week I backed up all my music and movies to my external drive, luckily I happened to do that right before the computer died so I'm not worried about that. 
    If it is a problem how do I stop it from erasing all that when it syncs? 

    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with music and videos with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only.
    When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
    Photos transferred from your computer are optimized for viewing on your iPhone as part of the iTunes sync/transfer process. The original resolution of these photos is reduced on your iPhone. All photos on your computer and all photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone should be included with your computer's backup along with all other important data, which should include your iTunes library as well.
    Backing up your iTunes library per the instructions included with this link and transferring the backup to a new or different computer will prevent any iTunes content from being erased from your iPhone first when transferring iTunes content from a new or different computer.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iDevice but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize the new or different computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so. With your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    You can use a 3rd party paid utility such as this one to transfer photos from your iPhone that were transferred from your former computer, but the original resolution of these photos will be lost, and such utilities are not supported by Apple.
    http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/
    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer. If you aren't doing so, contacts on your iPhone are not touched when syncing your iPhone with iTunes on a new or different computer. If you are syncing contacts with a supported address book application on your computer and the supported address book application on the computer is empty, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the supported address book application on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.

    I'm receiving the "an unexpected error occurred" notice.
    There are several things that you can do to try to resolve the bug in Mavericks that causes this issue.
    The first is to make sure that you have set IPv6 to "link local only" for both WiFi and Ethernet. Part of that process is clicking "OK" to confirm, but then you must also click "Apply" in another window for things to "stick". This is an easy step to miss...and a lot of users are missing it.
    Please confirm that you have set "link local only" for both WiFi and Ethernet and that you have clicked both OK and Apply to save the changes.
    You would want to restart your Mac after you make these changes.
    If you are still having difficulty, the next step would be to try an iPad or iPhone for the setup, if you have one handy.
    But, before you do that, we need to understand how you are trying to set up the Time Capsule. What will connect to what?  What is the make and model number of your modem?

  • Installing Thinkvanta​ge software for the first time

    I have a T60P that I'm going to be selling. It originally came with XP and I installed Vista Ultimate on it and had the Thinkvantage software working on it.  But I need to remove most all of the user programs, so I've done a clean install of Vista.  I now want to re-install all of the Thinkvantage software on it.  Without TVSU it's a REAL pain.  I've downloaded all of the 32-bit Thinkvantage Vista drivers and software and have installed it on the computer, but many things won't work.
    Is there an easier way to get all of the approriate Thinkvantage software installed?

  • HT4718 am trying to install OS X Lion for the first time. So far it has been downloading for about 2 hours. How long should it take?

    Can anyone help please?
    Lion download to iMac has been running for about 2 hours and is still not halfway yet. How long should it take? should I cancel and start again?

    1500Kbs is 1.5Mbs. That is Kilo bits per second. There are 8 bits to a byte so if you divide 1500 (or 1,500,000) by 8 you get 187500 bytes a second. Divide 3.5GBs (3,500,000,000), that capitol B is for Bytes, by that 187500 you get 18666.666 seconds. Which needs to be divided by 60 to get the minutes and then again by 60 to get the hours.
    5.1851xxx hours.
    I use to have a 3Mbs DSL connection and it took me over 3 hours to download Lion. Now that I have a 19Mbs Cable connection it take about an hour to download and install.
    So wait it will happen eventually. If you cancel and start again your are still going to wait 5+ hours.

  • On my new desktop, for the first time ever, I cannot access my gmail through Mozilla without getting a "get me out of here" option and I cannot figure out why.

    I have been trying all day to access gmail on mozilla. I installed, uninstalled, and re-installed Firefox and I keep getting the same warning whenever I try gmail. All other sites function perfectly.

    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
    Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
    You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
    It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

  • Installing Tiger 10.4 for the first time with 4Gb (PLEASE HELP)

    Ok hey, I would like to install Tiger on my mac g5 but there is a problem I have about 4 GB of hard drive space left on my drive. Will this cause a problem? or will it actually free up space once I installed it.
    I also have some files that I would not like to become altered (music songs in logic etc) when I install this system is there a possibility I could lose work or subject to structure change?

    And HFS+ just hates having less than 15% free space, too. The more fragmented, the more likely you could lose the directory itself.
    When you restart etc the system flushes any unsaved writes out to disk, and it could just die there.
    At less than $0.50/GB for storage, buy some backup drives
    And with 4GB of RAM, and swap files (files, they start at 64MB and double) it is unlikely during an install there will be ANY. Always good to restart before even running updates. RAM helps with the install to decompress files, not disk drive - because during an install, you are booted from DVD and it can't write to DVD or to hard drive for swap files. Temp files, yes, and usually it can be 3x larger than the file.
    250GB drive should have more like 40GB free unfortunately. And that is based on MicroMat's in-house testing. They use to have a forum on MacFixit, unfortunately that is gone and moved to their own site and they didn't migrate their own thread discussions (wealth of info there I use to link to).

  • Problem accessing MySites blogs for the first time - please help?

    I have a customer who has installed SharePoint 2013 with a norwegian language pack, and it's working fine, except for a couple of things. We have a custom search web part that lists the 5 latest blog posts, but we're experiencing a bit of trouble with this.
    It's similiar to this question:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/4b1d053b-3b32-4e5d-834d-37f25c8b177d/opening-mysite-blog-links-gives-404-on-first-try?forum=sharepointgeneral
    When I click a new blog for the first time, I get sent to a non-existing web page with the following link:
    http://domainremoved.com/person/garrobbi/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?List=c0a7fffb-fa75-4b74-a1ef-523b6c389e77&ID=1&Web=d3c87cb9-6a8e-4ed1-a998-a4d5e546fe27
    and get a 404 error.
    If i click back and navigate again, i get sent successfully to the same link but with Posts replaced by Innlegg.
    I have also verified that the url of the link is the correct one in the first place, when i hover over the link.
    The second problem they have, is that the blog profile pictures are missing. We've set up sharepoint with host named side collections and different url's pr site collection. Profile search and mysites shows pictures succesfully from both inside and outside,
    but the blogpages show pictures based on were they are uploaded from. I've enabled crossdomainphotos on the web application.
    Any clues?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Is there any way to disable "Checking Your Add-ons" window that comes when user starts Firefox after update for the first time?

    we have over 1500 firefox users and its very confusing to them if after update they start their Firefox and this "Checking Your Add-ons" window comes.
    It would be much appreciated if it can somehow skipped this or do it silently.

    Unfortunately this link does not help.
    We currently have 3.6.x versions of Firefox in most computers, and if i do a silent install via sccm to version 12, then if user starts the new firefox for the first time, it checks addons, like java quick starter and browsing protection (f-secure) etc. Second time when they start firefox, it starts normally.
    My question is - is there some way to avoid this first run addon compability checking?
    I've tried numerous preferences in mozilla.cfg, nothing helps so far.
