Is it possible for Windows 2008R2 Domain Controllers to audit when a programs are installed/uninstalled on clients and send alerts to Admins?

We have a program called Audit Wizard that we used with Windows 2003 that monitored all clients and alerted my department when a program was installed/uininstalled. since upgrading to windows server 2008R2, the program no longer works correctly.
So we are wondering if it is possible for Windows 2008R2 Domain Controllers, running at a 2008R2 forest and domain level) to be able to audit when a programs are installed/uninstalled on clients and send alerts to our Admins?
If so, How?
Thanks in advance for your help!

As far as I know, group policy can't help us do this. If you are interested, we can take a look at System Center Operation Manager and ask for suggestions in the following SCOM forum.

Binding to Windows 2008r2 domain gives wrong kvno

I'm getting inconsistent results binding a 10.6.6 system to a windows 2008r2 domain with two DCs. The domain join always appears to work, but in some cases I'm not getting a usable /etc/krb5.keytab file. The upshot is that I can't use GSSAPI with ssh to access the mac from other unix systems.
In the failure case, the KVNOs in /etc/rb5.keytab disagree with the values in AD. Using 'klist -k -t' on the mac, I see all the KVNOs are 1, but looking on the windows side with ADSIedit, the msDS-KeyVersionNumber on the computer account is 2.
In the success case, there are duplicate entries for all the keys in the Mac keytab file, one set with KVNO 1 and one set with KVNO 2, windows reports KVNO 2, and everything (ssh) works.
This also affects kerberos console logins with the /etc/authorizations 'builtin:krb5authenticate,privileged' patch (krb5authnoverify works in both cases).
I have inconsistent results with Directory Utility (sometimes I get a working krb5.keytab and sometimes I get the broken one). I haven't seen any rhyme or reason to the behavior. I go away for awhile, and maybe it works when I come back (and maybe not). But never an error; DU always thinks it successfully bound. As an aside, with dsconfigad I always get the broken keytab file.
Any assistance is most appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply!!
Yes! I have done it both ways but still the same thing. Now, something interesting, since I'm in the initial setup of the Domain, I decided to reconfigure it to be mydomain.net, instead of mydomain.local. Now I try to bind and I get an error saying that the DNS name forest is incorrect. However, I cannot change the Directory forest from the default value, which is Automatic. So now, I wonder if its that the domain name needs to be set to my.domain.net rather than mydomain.net. I'm lost here.

You cannot install CS5.5 Windows onto your Mac.
You must either purchase a new copy of CS6 for your Mac or join the Creative Cloud (and pay the monthly fee).
If you join the Cloud you can then install CS6 (and soon version CC) on both your Mac and Windows for the same membership fee.

Hello, I have created a distribution kit for my program.The problem is that the when the program is installed onto another computer, it fails to communicate with field point (Using FP-AO-200 and FP-AO-1000). Help is greatly appreciated, Thanks faen9901

Hi Everyone,
I have a program that sends information(analog output) to lab windows cvi in the form of a text file or user input.
The program runs on the computers that I have the field point explorer and lab windows cvi installed on. In order to run the program without always installing labwindows/cvi and field point; I wanted to create an executable file that could be load on another computer.
I used the create distribution kit part of labwindows/cvi to do this.After creating the distribution kit, I then installed it
to another computer.
My user interface appears on the screen, when the user clicks on the exe. file, but no data is sent to the field point module. I know that the data is being read from the user and textfile because in it appears in the uir.
The following are some details about the problem:
1. On another computer without labwindows/cvi and field point explorer not installed - no data is sent to field point module
I know this because a current is being read on the current meter connected to field point module.
My questions are the following:
1. What are the possible reasons for the data not being sent to the field point module?
2. Do I still need to create an iak. (Installing Field point Explorer) file stored on any new computer that I install my created distribution kit file too?
Thankyou very much for any help that you can provide. I greatly appreciate it.

1) If you do not install FieldPoint Explorer, the FieldPoint Server is not installed so there is nothing on the target computer that knows how to talk to the FieldPoint system.
2) Yes, you need an IAK file on the target computer. Assuming the settings (i.e. com port#) are identical you can simply include the iak file as part of the distribution.
3) You also need to include as part of your installer the file "fplwmgr.dll". If this file is not installed, your program will not be able to access the FieldPoint Server. Alternatively, this file is installed automatically if FieldPoint Explorer detects LabWindows/CVI or Measurement Studio Development versions on the target computer or if you choose to do a custom FieldPoint Explorer installation and
choose to provide LabWindows/CVI support.

When I take a picture with my IPhone and send it to my home computer, why do the pictures turn sideways or upside down (it's an HP windows computer)

When I take a picture with my IPhone and send it to my home computer (HP Windows) why does the picture turn out sideways or upside down?

OK, here's the explanation. When you take a picture, the iPhone knows what orientation it is in (portrait, landscape, etc.) and adds that information to the picture's EXIF data so it knows which side is up. Apple devices can decode this information and show the picture right side up when it is viewed. However, Windows computers cannot do this. They are not capable of decoding the orientation information added by the iPhone, so they are displayed in a default orientation (which may not be right side up).
This only happens on Windows machines, and unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it, except use the rotation buttons in Windows picture view to orient the photo correctly.

Monitoring and sending alerts for IDocs

Hi ,
I have Idoc scenarios both outbound and inbound.
My requirement is that whenever an Idoc goes into error state an alert should be sent to a specified person automatically.
Please also let me know ways to reprocess Inbound and outbound Idocs.
Thanks

Hi,
Your question is mainly for ECC, than for PI...
but you can acheive it, for instance, by creating an abap program which checks the IDoc status, and send an email to a list of persons you determined for instance in a Ztable for each idoc (message type + idoc type + idoc extension). You can scheduled this program by creating a SAP job (tcode SM36).
Another way could be to add an abap enhancement in each idoc process (inbound / outbound) to check the status of this idoc and send an email. But...
Personally, I prefer the 1st solution, as the program is scheduled, you can group several idoc errors and send only one email (!). Keep in mind this case: among 1000 inbound idocs, 750 are in error, because of a bad or a missing data in the source system... What 's the result with the 2nd solution?... it's a spam of 750 emails to the emailbox of your employees (!!!. Not sure they will appreciate...
To retreat Idoc, you can use tcode BD87. Do not give this tcode to all employees, but only to some key users, to avoid that an employee retreat several idocs which are not in its scope (because he/she did not a godd selection in the selection screen) and which should be not be retreat now (exm due to a fiscel year).

Hi Mark,
I checked your account at the backend and found many transactions sent out.
In order to narrow down the issue and search we need to know the specific transaction detail for which you faced this issue.
1. Signers email address
2. Senders email address
3.Name of the document
4. Date it was sent.
Do not post the information here. Send me a private message
Also let me know which 2 mails did you receive? Could you please share the subject line for the same.

Disabling IPv6 on 2008R2 Domain Controllers... Best Practice?

At the end of last year I had a call with Microsoft Support in which I spoke with a member of the Directory Services team regarding an issue. The issue was resolved with no further problems, but while conversing with the Technical Support Engineer
I queried him on another issue regarding a second copy of our DNS zone in Active Directory. He looked at it (remoted in via RDP) then looked at my NIC properties and stated that the reason it happened is because we are running IPv6 on our DCs.
I told him we do that on all our servers. (leave IPv6 enabled.) He then stated that we should not do that, expanding by saying that "Microsoft is in the process of rewriting documentation as IPv6 is no longer supported on Domain Controllers."
Needless to say I could not believe this. I told him how Exchange on an SBS server cannot have IPv6 disabled as the server will stop booting, but he was very adamant about it; he even put me on hold for 10 minutes then came back saying he confirmed
that this is the case and spoke with the "Documentation Team" and the new Best Practices would be released within the next month. In the meantime he recommended I disable IPv6 on all my DCs. (I work in Consulting so that's a lot of DCs at various different
business entities.)
I didn't believe him then, and I don't believe him now. Reviewing the FAQ linked through http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929852 Says that Microsoft does not recommend disabling IPv6. Of course no documentation ever came out, nor have I
found anything to agree with his statements. (we solved the duplicate partition issue ourselves.)
I just wanted to post here and see if anyone else has heard of this, maybe I'm the one not up and up on my info. Has or does Microsoft plan on reversing course on the new IPv6 technology that 2008 and up are built on? I would think that quite
preposterous!
Thanks,
Christopher Long
Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge. -- Carl Sagan

There are cases where you DO WANT to disable IPv6 on a domain controller.
Example: you have an IPV4 network and do not have IPV6 deployed. In this case if you are not using IPv6 but leave it enabled than Windows will assign itself an IPv6 at random via the APIPA process. That IP address can and does change when you reboot the
server.... So I bet you see the problem here.
If you build a domain controller with IPv6 enabled - it will register it's IPV6 address in DNS as offering AD services. Then when you reboot that domain controller and that address changes - BOOM. AD comes crashing down. AD relies heavily on DNS. Windows
thinks it's smarter than you and registers it's IPv6 address obtained via APIPA in DNS. Now that's a problem. Particularly because Win Server 2008+ prefer IPV6 over IPV4 networks. So communication can blow up even if a valid IPv4 network is available.
So yes - there are instances where you do want to - in fact need to - disable IPv6 on domain controllers. Microsoft's documentation does not reflect this but it should. At a minimum if they want you to leave it on they should at least remind you to set a
static IPv6 address if you're running an IPv4 network.
(ask me how I know all this over a beer some time)
I opted to just disable it. Despite MS's documentation warning of the contrary - I've seen no adverse impacts. Exchange, Sharepoint, AD, etc. all humm along fine.

Is it possible for Windows 2008R2 Domain Controllers to audit when a programs are installed/uninstalled on clients and send alerts to Admins?
