Installing Ciscoworks LMS 4.0 on Windows domain member server.

Hello.
I'm looking for some suggestions about installing CiscoWorks LMS 4.0, and upgrade, on a domain member server running Windows 2008 R2 SE 64 bit.
Thanks.
Andrea

Here are the basic install best practices:
1) Install as a local administrator (this means create a local account and add it
the "Administrators" group).
2) My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables
Set the USER TMP and TEMP to a shorten path like
C:\Windows\temp
3) Make sure you have FIXED pagefile size like 8182
My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Performance Options -> Advanced
4) May need to reboot, certainly log out an back in to make sure step 2 applies.
5) Stop all anti-virus and firewall during the installation.  Disable them in services and reboot if necessary.
*  NOTES: Anti-virus can be re-enabled after installation, but you should  EXCLUDE
the NMSROOT directory as long as LMS is installed on the  server. DEP should
remain off (that is, set to only protect critical  Windows system files) as long as LMS
is installed on the server.
*  If Internet Information Services (IIS) is detected on your system and  if you have
continued the installation with IIS services, you cannot use  the port number 443 for
HTTPS. Instead, you must use the port numbers  ranging from 1026 to 65535 for
HTTPS to avoid this conflict.
When performing the installation, make sure these two steps are followed:
*  Install from original, locally attached media
*  NEVER abort the installation after the installer says not to
It may not always be possible to install from original, locally attached  media
(especially on VMs). But you should avoid from installing over  the network as hiccups
can cause bad installations. If you are  installing on a virtual machine, convert the DVD
to an ISO image, then  mount that within the VM.
Here is the document detailing all ports needed to be allowed (excluded from policy)
for LMS 4.0
LMS 4.0 Port Usage
General Notes:
If you want to upgrade the operating system from Windows 2003 or Windows
2008 to Windows 2008 R2, you must first complete upgrading the operating
system, and then install the LMS 4.0.x Windows 2008 R2 patch.
*  You can install the LMS 4.0.x Windows 2008 R2 patch only on LMS 4.0.x
and not on the lower version of LMS.
*  You cannot install Integration Utility and HP Open View 7.x or 8.x on
Windows 2008 or Windows 2008 R2 servers.

  • Problem installing Crystal Reports 2013 on a Windows 2012 R2 server

    Sheesh.  One of my users needs crystal reports and still uses it weekly.  It's time to update off of an old 2003 server so I setup a new Windows 2012 R2 server so that she and others can RDP into it and use the application and reports (it's a payroll thing so they want limited access).
    So - totally plain vanilla Windows 2012 R2 install.  Then make sure I have all the .net stuff installed in the windows features.
    But, whenever I run the setup.exe from the downloaded ZIP file from the sap store I get:
    (1) "Assertion failure: A fatal error has occured which has caused the installer to quit.  Please gather any %TEMP% and installer logs to present to your support personnel."
    (2) Then followed by the message:
    Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library -- Runtime Error!  Programs: C:\install\CrystalReports\setup.engine\SetupEngine.exe  This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.  Please contact the application's support team for more information.

    I can't find any information on this!  I have found a similar message that refers to a 2011 install that was fixed with a SP9?  But this machine has no current install.  I did buy the full version two days ago online from the sap store.

    There is an older C++ library that you need that is not available by default on Win 2012.  You can get the install for this here:
    Download Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update from Official Microsoft Do…
    Also, be sure you're logged in with Administrator rights, the right-click and "Run as Administrator" when you run setup.  You might also have to turn off the Windows Firewall when you run the install (you can turn it back on again after the install is complete.)

    . After I disable and enable this netwotk site the network is correct domain. How is detect which network is it ? this contacted domain controller ? etc. ???
    Thank you for answer 
    Falcon

    Hi
    Not fully understood the problem. But if you have a Windows domain and you can't add the new server to the domain or can't connect
    to the server after or before joining to the domain. Then it could be no of reason first one to check is firewall.
    Turn the firewall on host and source and then try again. Also are you able to ping the new server?
    How are you trying to connect to the server via RDP?
    If yes then you need to enable the RDP and give yourself permission to remote dial in.
    Thanks

    The IP address that appears in source network address all belong to VPN clients. And it looks like its only happening with 4-5 IPs, all of which are VPN clients. These clients shouldn't be connecting to anything on this server, which is why its puzzling.
    Our DC is Windows 2008 and the VPN server is another member server on the domain. I suspect the issue is at the client PCs since there are many other VPN clients connected that don't generate the event ID.
    Can anyone tell what the issue might be?
    Thanks.

    Hi Rayminette,
    There are multiple login sources that could possibly be generating the errors:
    FTP logins - check your FTP log to see if login failures are showing up at the same time.
    Logins via Basic Authentication over http or https (simple, but possibly dangerous, way to password-protect a web site).
    ASP scripts.
    This logon type 8 indicates a network logon like logon type 3 but where the password was sent over the network in the clear text. Windows server doesn’t allow connection to shared file or printers with clear text authentication. The only situation
    I’m aware of are logons from within an ASP script using the ADVAPI or when a user logs on to IIS using IIS’s basic authentication mode. In both cases the logon process in the event’s description will list advapi. Basic authentication is only dangerous
    if it isn’t wrapped inside an SSL session (i.e. https). As far as logons generated by an ASP, script remember that embedding passwords in source code is a bad practice for maintenance purposes as well as the risk that someone malicious will view the source
    code and thereby gain the password.
    Reference from:
    What is the source of thousands of 4625 Logon Failure errors with Logon Type 8 (NetworkCleartext)?
    I hope this helps.

  • Dynamics CRM 2015 Install requires Active Directory on VM Windows 2012 R2 Server

    Hello,
    I'm trying to install Dynamics CRM 2015 on a standalone VM not connected to a domain (it's running under WIndows 8.1 Professional). The VM was configured using WIndows Server 2012 R2. I'm getting an error message shortly into the install process stating
    it needs to access Active Directory.
    How can I get around this issue - I just want to Install this CRM on the VM without getting into complicate network/AD issues.
    Can you please advise ?
    SO many thanks,
    John

    CRM requires AD no way around that so the most likely solution is to install it on that server or on a VM not connected to your other networks

  • Mac OS X Server on Windows Domain with Server 2003 DC

    Hello,
    I work for a school based in Leicester and we have a full windows environment (server 2003) running about 300 XP machines and 22 macs connected to Active directory using a piece od software called Admit Mac.
    Recently I went over to another school and to see there mac setup and how easy it is to image machines, subsequently we purchased a mac mini and installed MAC OS X Server on it. I want to be about to use this sever with Apple remote for the 20 macs we have by joining it to are domain and pulling the machines through using AD for Imaging etc.
    Can this be done easily and what's your experience on the best way to go about doing it?
    Any help would be fantastic partially if someone out there has done it!!

    Hi
    +. . . pulling the machines through using AD for Imaging etc.+
    Not sure what you mean by this? Creating images similar to RIS files (on the mac platform they're called nbis) can only be done using the System Image Utility. You can use the application itself if you want or an admin mac with the Server Admin Tools installed. AFAIK the application can only be run on the mac platform.
    I doubt if nbis can be 'served' by your DC either if this is what you meant?
    You might get a clearer idea if you read the documentation:

  • Installing Oracle 8i client tools on Windows 2K Advanced Server SP2

    I am having issues with installing Oracle 8i client tools on W2K Advanced Server SP2. The CD I have is labeled Oracle 8i Enterprise Edition, Release 3 (8.1.7) Win NT/2000 CSI# 2224188. The error message I get is that a dependency exist on having ORACLE.SWD.JRE 1.1.8.10.0 installed and the universal installer cant find it. The disk has a folder named ORACL.SWD.JRE with a subfolder named 1.1.7.30 which leads me to believe that the version of the file that shipped with this media is version 1.1.7.30.
    Questions:
    1. Why would Larry ship a CD with the wrong version of a file...just venting.
    2. Where do I get the correct version?
    3. How do I install it?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Oracle8i on PIV
    If you have Pentium IV do following: find file symcjit.dll file in the oracle installation folder and rename it to symcjit.old.
    try to run setup.exe located in the install/win32 folder.
    Oracle9i on W2K
    Install service pack 2 or higher
    Virtual memory between 800 and 900 MB ( Recommended )
    if for any cause setup.exe does not make anything,
    try to make click on autorun.exe

    Before going further, I assume that the user account we were using is a domain account. As a result, we can use this account to log onto other domain computers to see if its

  • Monitoring of other domain member server

    Hello,
    we have some servers in our LAN with another domain then our scom server. We create a scom certificate from our scom cert template with the servername.other.domain and import it with the Momcertimport.exe on the server. The entry on the Key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft
    Operations Manager\3.0\Machine Settings" is correct like the serial number in the imported certificate. The telent connection runs successfulll over port 5723.
    But the server is not visible at scom and throws some errors in OM event log:
    ID20057: Failed to initialize security context for target MSOMHSvc/SCOMSERVER.domain The error returned is 0x80090303(The specified target is unknown or unreachable).  This error can
    apply to either the Kerberos or the SChannel package.
    ID21001: The OpsMgr Connector could not connect to MSOMHSvc/SCOMSERVER.domain
    because mutual authentication failed.  Verify the SPN is properly registered on the server and that, if the server is in a separate domain, there is a full-trust relationship between the two domains.
    ID20071: The OpsMgr Connector connected to
    SCOMSERVER.domain, but the connection was closed immediately without authentication taking place.  The most
    likely cause of this error is a failure to authenticate either this agent or the server. Check the event log on the server and on the agent for events which indicate a failure to authenticate.
    ID21016: OpsMgr was unable to set up a communications channel to
    SCOMSERVER.domain and there are no failover hosts.  Communication will resume when
    SCOMSERVER.domain is available and communication from this computer is allowed.
    What can we check?
    Thanks & regards

    Hi,
    Please make sure you have full-trust relationship between the two domains, if they are not in the same foreast, you may try create forest trust between them.
    Note, with External trust, there is only NTLM authentication is supported. So check whether you are using this kind of trust.
    In addition, please also refer to the link to check SCOM SPN:

  • Difference between Domain member and standalone server with AD binding

    Hi all,
    Can anyone explain the difference between:
    A) Setting up a MacOSX server as Windows domain member server using Server Manager;
    B) Setting up a MacsOSX server as Windows standalone server and joining the Active Directory using Directory Access;
    My setup:
    ====================
    We have a Windows 2003 A.D. running, all users are set up in the A.D.
    Also we have two MacOSX servers, which provide file services (both AFP and SMB/CIFS) for Mac and Windows clients, while using the A.D. for user authentication.
    One of the MacOSX servers is configured as a domain member server, the other is configured as Windows standalone server. The latter is bound to the A.D. using Directory Access.
    Following the Apple manuals one should think that the first setup (domain member) is the best.
    As for Open Directory: both servers are running as Standalone.
    How my setup behaves
    ====================
    Official Apple guidelines are to set up the Mac server as domain member. Reality is another thing though.
    For AFP both servers perform equal: users are authenticated against the A.D. and get access to their shares. File/Folder permissions are as expected.
    For Windows clients things aren't the same.
    The server setup as Windows Domain member acts strange. Windows clients don't have single signon experience.
    Every file/folder's owner shared on this server is <<unknown>> to the client. Also, when a Windows user creates a file/folder the owner is <<unknown>>.
    Sometimes the Samba server just stops authentication. A relaunch of the Samba service fixes this.
    The server setup as a standalone server performs as expected. Windows clients have single signon experience, there are no issues with file/folder owner. Also authentication never stops.

    Both 32 bit and 64 bit Operating Systems are supported on the above  versions.
    CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution 3.2 supports only the following  locales:
    •US-English
    •Japanese
    Ensure that the CiscoWorks Windows Server has  either the US-English or the Japanese version of Operating System  installed. Otherwise, you must re-install the Operating System with one  of the supported versions before you install CiscoWorks LMS.
    Set the Regional Settings of the CiscoWorks to US-English for the  US-English version and Japanese for the Japanese version.

  • CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1 is supported on Windows 2008 EE R2 SP1?

    Installing CiscoWorks LMS 4.0.1.
    I need to know if Windows 2008 server EE R2 with SP1 is now supported.
    Many thanks for help.
    Andrea

    Hello,
    Service Pack 1 of Windows 2008 Server Enterprise Edition R2 is not officially supported yet. Reference the readme.
    However, I have applied SP1 to my installation of LMS on Windows Server 2008 EE R2 without breaking it. Your mileage may vary.
    Hope this helps.

  • CiscoWorks LMS 3.2 Won't Start on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise

    All,
    I installed CiscoWorks LMS 3.2 RME on Windows Server 2008 Enterprise and the daemon manager won't start.  The server is a VMware ESX server 4.0.
    I've uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing.
    I get message "The service is not responding to the control function"
    Has anyone had this issue?
    Stephanie

    There could be several reasons this happens.  Common one in Windows 2008 is the swap is not set properly as it defaults to "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives".  Try setting the swap to 8GB manually or whichever is the recommendation for your current device count as per:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_lan_management_solution/3.2/install/guide1/prereq.html
    Also make sure the startup services are set this way:
    CiscoWorks ANI database engine: Manual
    CiscoWorks Daemon Manager: Automatic
    CiscoWorks RME NG database engine: Manual
    CiscoWorks Tomcat Servlet Engine: Manual
    CiscoWorks Web Server: Manual
    CWCS Cmf database engine: Manual
    CWCS rsh/rcp service: Automatic
    CWCS syslog service: Automatic
    CWCS tftp service: Automatic
    DFM dfmEpm database engine: Manual
    DFM dfmFh database engine: Manual
    DFM dfmInv database engine: Manual
    Set DEP for "Windows Essential Programs Only" and set an exclusion for CSCOpx in your anti-virus on-access scanning settings.  Note that Windows 2008 R2 versions are not supported.
