Moving from Novell Zenworks to Windows Server 2008 domain

I am trying to find ways to automate the process of moving between a Novell Zenworks environment to a server 2008 domain. The first problem to my understanding is changing the names of the machines to legal values in our Windows XP Pro Clients. They are currently mostly named, cata_rm#_computer# (where # is a defined value set manually). To my understanding underscore _ is an invalid character for joining a domain so we want to have an automated script that can easily be deployed over the network to basically replace all "_"with "-". Is this necessary or can this issue be handled easier ****her down the road on moving to a windows domain?
We would then like to be able to deliver a payload via zenworks that will cause all of Novell and Zenworks to be removed from the computer and once that is complete add the computer to the new windows domain. Ideally the payload could be easily run from a network share or flash drive as well. Unattended installers may be available for this software suite but we would want to combine the uninstall process with adding the domain so we can move from our poor zenworks domain to a windows domain without ever touching most of our machines.
This is not my project but I am interested in learning how this process could be completed as painlessly as possible hopefully learning something along the way. Anything from links to guides on where to get started looking to more developed solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

None the less the beginning of my problem, removing Novell is a Novell issue. Thankfully I have figured out most of the removal of novell and zenworks already, now just working on fixing the client names and joining the windows AD domain.

Opening Excel Workbook Fails when run from Scheduled Task on Windows Server 2008 Rw

Hi,
I have a little vbs script that instantiates the Excel.Application object and then opens a work book to perform some tasks on it. The script runs fine when run from the command line. When I attempt to run it as a scheduled task (it is supposed to update
data that is pulled from a SQL Server at regular intervals), it fails with the following error:
Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'c:\test\SampleWorkbook.xlsm'. There are several possible reasons: .....
The file does exist. The path reported in the error is correct. The account under which the task is running is the same account I use to run it from the command line. User Account Control is not enabled, and the task is set up to run with highest privileges.
When I run the same script through the Task Scheduler from a Windows Server 2003 machine, it works without issue.
I was just wondering if somebody on this forum has run into a similar issue in connection with Windows Server 2008 R2 and figured out what the magic trick is to make it work. I'm sure it is rights related, but I haven't quite figured out what which rights
are missing.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

This is truly killing me ... trying to get it working on Windows Server 2012 without success.
I desperately need to automate running Excel macros in a "headless" environment, that is non-interactive, non-GUI, etc.
I can get it to work using Excel.Application COM, either via VBScript or Powershell, successfully on many other Windows systems in our environment - Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 (32-bit), etc., -BUT-
The two servers we built out for running our automation process are Windows Server 2012 (SE) - and it just refuses to run on the 2012 servers - it gives the messages below from VBScript and PowerShell, respectively-
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing several different versions of Microsoft Excel (2007 Standard, 2010 Standard, 2010 Professional Plus, 32-bit vs. 64-bit, etc.), but it makes no difference.
Would be extremely grateful if any one out there has had any success in running Excel automation on Server 2012 in a non-interactive environment that they could share.
( I have tried adding the "%windir%\syswow64\config\systemprofile\desktop"
folder, which did fix the issue for me when testing on Windows Server 2008 R2, but sadly did not resolve it on Windows Server 2012 )

OS Migration from Solaris 10 to Windows Server 2008 R2 or higher

Hi experts,
We'd like to migrate the OS of our SAP systems to windows from Solaris 10. We're still wondering which version of Windows we'll use. (matter of money)
Could you give me some docs, tips or advice to do that ? (requirements, how to do it, packages to install)
I have checked berforehand that all the SAP solutions we're using are compatible with Windows Server 2008 R2 or higher.
I heard I'd need an OS Migration Expert to do it, but still, before that I need to check if it's possible and a roadmap could also be nice.
Thank you in advance,
Best Regards.
Alexiel.

Hi Alex,
From license perspective you need to procure license for Windows 2012 but for installation you can downgrade it to windows 2008 R2 as required.
From suggestion perspective, it is always good to go with Windows 2012 to gain benefits from mainstream support and new features as compared to windows 2008 r2.
As per SAP recommendation, it is good to have OS/DB certified consultant to perform the migration.
Some useful documents available on SCN

Problems with RDP/RDC from Mac OSX to Windows Server 2008 on External IP

We have a customer that is using Mac and Microsoft's RDC for Mac to their servers.
They've just upgraded from Windows Server 2003 to 2008 and can't connect through RDP to their TS server on external IP.
Their servers is not in any domain and it work for them to connect to another Windows Server 2008 that is located in their office when they use internal IP.
The problem is that when using RDC to the external IP they get bellow:
"Remote Desktop cannot verify the identity of the computer you want to connect to. This problem can occur if:
The remote computer is running a version of Windows that is earlier than Windows Vista.
The remote computer is configured to support only the RDP security layer.
Contact your network administrator or the owner of the remote computer for assistance."
From here they can choose "Connect" as they did on the Server 2003 but now they get: "Remote Desktop Connection cannot verify the identity of the computer that you want to connect to.Try reconnecting to the Windows-based computer, or contact our administrator."
and is only able to choose "Ok".
I've changed the settings on the "configuration for host server for remote desktop sessions" under General from "RDP-Security Layer" to "Negotiate" and in this case I get a logon windows where i type in all my information click logon. Here I get another
error message which says something like: (We get it in Swedish). "Connection to the windows-based computer broke since there was a problem associated with the licensificationprotocol... Try to connect again" Where I can choose "Cansel" or "reconect"
but it just keeps poping up if i chose reconnect.
I've tried all settings in the TS server and there is not much to change on the RDP client. We have installed the server certificate on the Mac client but it didn't help.
We've also tried with CoRD and it works fine as RDP from a normal Windows based computer.
The only solution I've found on google is to use CoRD instead but we got problems with that connection since it keep crasching on our computer.
In my eyes the problem is on the security requirements that the RDC for Mac needs but I can't find any inforamtion on MS sites about it.
Greatfull for all tips and trix!

I too was having the problem same as everyone else. However, for me the problem all started when I replaced my SSL certificate that was used/selected in the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration utility, connections, RDP-TCP Properties. The security
layer is negotiate and the certificate is the one selected on that screen. It was not licensing related.
The certificate had expired and I didn't believe I needed it. But turns out I did, so I had to generate and validate a new one using GoDaddy (though they specifically were not part of the problem). As my Terminal Servers (Remote desktop servers)
do not have IIS installed, I was a bit stumped on how to create a new certificate request. I finally found some instructions on how to create a certificate request using the MMC snap-in, advanced operations, create custom request. The template
chosen was "legacy key", and without boring the rest of the details that part was the root cause of my problem. The legacy key was not able to be processed correctly by the Mac RDC client. Neither the official 2.1.1 client or the 2.1.2 download.
The Terminal Server system event log was showing the following two errors, 36874 and 36888. The first one contained the best details and said: "An TLS 1.0 connection request was received from a remote client application, but none of the cipher suites
supported by the client application are supported by the server. The SSL connection request has failed." Upon searching the internet for that, I found this page which described the legacy key problem:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlreportingservices/thread/3a2d2eec-000d-432a-abd7-6b965268c671
So, my solution most familiar to me was to use IIS and create the SSL certificate request, process that with my 3rd party CA, export the certificate with private key and then import that certificate into all of my terminal servers. Then using the session
host configuration tool, pick the new certificate and the problem was now solved.

How to add macbook pro with OSX 10.9.2 to Windows Server 2008 Domain

I would like to add my late 2013 MBP running OSX 10.9.2 to my company's Windows Network Domain.
What is the procedure to do so?
Thanks for your help.

You ensure that the Mac is in time sync with the domain controller, you hope that you are not on a .local domain, and then you can use System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options > and the Join button. This will provide a simple binding interface. I prefer to use Directory Utility (there is a button to assist you in launching the tool) as it exposes more of the AD plugins features.
Alternatively, this can be scripted using dsconfigad. Or, if you want to explore third party options, there is Centrify, the stuff from Thursby, and others.
Once you have bound the machine to the domain, you can validate connectivity by using the id command in the Terminal. Example would be: id someuser
someuser should be replaced with the short user name of a user in the Active Directory domain. If you get back a truncated record of the account, then you are talking to the domain and should be able to authenticate at the login window.
Be aware that if you have a name conflict (you already have a local account called naresh on the Mac and the AD short name is the same), then you will always login to the local account. Remove the account or rebuild the local DS database and establish a default local admin account without a conflicting name.
AD binding is a very easy and highly recommended task for all Macs in Windows centric environments. It makes the Mac a first class citizen and capable of respecting password policy and access rights. Do not, you can not push GPO to the Macs without tools like Centrify.

Upgrade from Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 to Windows Server 2012 R2

Hi, I was trying to setup a new DC for our company, originally it's DC is Windows Server 2003 SP2, we decided not tomigrate it and instead build a new one from scratch which is Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. I was able to set it up, perform windows updates,
added roles, perform Domains and Trusts, etc
When suddenly our global standards shifted to Windows Server 2012 R2, so instead of creating another server from scratch, this is the time to upgrade from 2k8 to 2K12 R2, besides the MAPtool which I've downloaded to check for prerequisites, etc, are there
other things I need to be aware of? backups? etc.
Regards,
Jeff

File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks on Windows server 2008

Hi Expert,
I found that the properties of File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks service disabled after I install the windows server 2008 64bits. I tried to install that service via adding the file and printer sharing services in the properties of local area connection, but it doesn't contain any service in the popup box. Also, no such service file available in the disk when I tried to install the service from installation disk of windows server 2008 64bits. Is the file "sacsrv.dll" corresponding to the service name of file and printer sharing? I found it is in the directory of "Windows\system32". I have no idea about where is the problem? Do I miss some components? Please tell me what can I do for it? Thanks!
Best Wishes,

Do any experts know the reason of this problem? Thanks!

Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 2-Node cluster - Replace failed node

Hi - I have a two node Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 fail-over cluster (DHCP, File, Print) where one of the nodes have failed beyond recovery. What I would like to do is to evict the failed cluster node and install a new machine with Windows Server 2008
R2 SP1 and re use the same name and Ip adress and then join this machine as a node in the cluster.
Is there any recommended steps to do this, i'm mostly thinking about the part of re-using the same name and ip address for the new node? (e.g. is there any cleanup more than evict the node?)

Hi,
I agree with Noah Sparks, you can evict the corrupt node, if you reinstall then add the new server system you can just join it to cluster, it shouldn’t any error.
If you have seen some the evicted node rejoin to cluster meet “The cluster node is already a member of the cluster” error, it may need pack the KB2549472
hotfix.
The related KB:
How to Evict a Node from a Windows Server 2008 Failover Cluster

Cluster node cannot rejoin the cluster after the node is restarted or removed from the cluster in Windows Server 2008 R2

Server 2008 Domain Controller won't sync with domain for time

Hi,
I have a Windows Server 2008 Domain Controller, a physical machine. When I run w32tm /query /status it shows the source as: Local CMOS clock. What ever I seem to try I cannot get it to look at the PDC to sync for time. Using RsOP I can see the correct policy
is in place, pointing to the correct server. I have checked the registry key and the correct server is in there under \HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Paramaters.
I have tried various w32tm commands such as seeting the /manualpeerlist to the correct server, /syncfromflags:DOMHIER. I have also used w32tm /config /update, making sure to restart the w32time service.
But whatever I do I cannot get it to sync from the network, it always shows Local CMOS clock. The time on the server is starting to drift now. When I use w32tm /resync /rediscover I get an error message: "The computer did not resync because no time
data was available". There is no firewall between the 2 servers blocking port 123.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks

Testing moving to new Windows Server 2008 R2 DHCP Server.

HI all,
I want to bring up a new DCHP server on an existing Windows Server 2008 R2 Domain Controller. The current DHCP server is a Windows 2003 Domain Controller. I have moved all the FSMO Roles to the new 2008 R2 domain controller
with the plan to eventually demote the 2003 server and take it off the network. I have the dhcp role installed on the new Windows Server 2008 R2 and have duplicated the exact settings (reservations, scope, etc.) from the old windows 2003 server
on the new 2008 R2 server. My plan was simply to disable the dhcp service on the old windows server 2003 and then authorize the new Windows Server 2008 R2 DHCP Server. However, after reading several articles, I understand that once you authorize
a new dhcp server, the old dhcp sever is unauthorized. I also read where several people had major issues with the new dhcp server not handing out IP Addresses even though the new dhcp server was authorized successfully. Since this is
a production network, I would like to employ the correct method to bring up the new dhcp server. Also, if there is a problem, is there an easy way to go back to the original dhcp server? Thanks for your help.

Bob Andres

You can authorize multiple DHCP servers on a network.
You can activate and deactivate different scopes independently. So you can test DHCP functionality with a test scope.
Also, you can stop the old server in many ways that allow it to be online very rapidly: stop the dhcp server service, deactivate the scopes and yes even de-authorize the server.
My advice would be to built a test so you are confident (=very important) and not to fear the final onlining too much. DHCP is no rockets science. If you've replicated the configuration and are aware of possible IP Helper configurations on your routers/switches,
it should all work out fine.

Unable to mount dfs volume from Windows Server 2008 R2

I am trying to use Finder|Go|Connect to Server to connect to a DFS volume shared by a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine. I get the following errors:
A dialog box that says, "There was a problem connecting to the server "server name". Contact your system administrator for more information"
Messages in the log:
PM kernel: smb_ntstatus_error_to_errno: Couldn't map ntstatus (0xc0000225) to errno returning EIO
PM NetAuthSysAgent: checkForDfsReferral: mounting dfs url failed , syserr = Input/output error
PM NetAuthSysAgent: smb_mount: mount failed to <server name>, syserr = Input/output error
I've seen a reference to this article (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3258472) to fix similar problems but that seems only to apply to Mac-based servers not Windows servers.
I called AppleCare but they said they are unable to troubleshoot a problem originating on a Windows Server.
The Mac is running 10.7.4 but the problem happens on 10.7.3 as well.
I can connect to non-DFS volumes from other Windows Servers with no issue.

After some more digging around I found out that it works when using the cifs: prefix instead of the smb: prefix in Finder|Go|Connect to Server.
So instead of using the name smb://servername.company.com I use the name cifs://servername.company.com.

¿Is it possible to upgrade from SCCM 2012 a domain controller in Windows Server 2008 R2 TO 2012 R2?

Hi all.
I want to know if is it possible to upgrade a domain controller from Windows Server 2008 r2 to 2012 r2 installing from SCCM 2012.
Thanks.
Regards.

Hi all.
I want to know if is it possible to upgrade a domain controller from Windows Server 2008 r2 to 2012 r2 installing from SCCM 2012.
Thanks.
Regards.
Anything is possible if you can script it. You could create a task sequence to do the following (with scripts):
1. Demote 2008R2 DC to member server
2. Remove 2008R2 member server from domain
3. Build new 2012R2 member server and join to domain
4. Promote 2012R2 member server to DC
You can do this. However, why would you? Just because you can doesn't mean you should. In my opinion it's more trouble and testing than it's worth. How many times would you need to do this?

So yeah...
I'm totally stumped now.
I feel like I've tried every method imaginable, but still no luck.
Printing from OSX 10.6.8 works just FINE.
On the server side, I'm running Windows Server 2008... there's only a local admin and a local user account.
Clients running OSX Lion 10.7.2 -- All updated.
Printer is an HP LaserJet P4010-4510 series.
Workstation is an iMac 21.5-inch, Late 2009
3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
Please help!!!

LPD print service is not enabled by default in Server 2008. It can be enabled via the Print Serveer role, but I am remote and cannot confirm the exact setting.
As for SMB, the error log is showing;
Failed to connect to "smb://<username>:<password>@utlab-prsrv-02/"
So it would suggest that there is still an issue with the account detail you are using as you show you have tried this syntax at one stage. If you want to continue to create the queue using SMB rather than LPD then I recommend using the CUPS web page (http://127.0.01:631) to create the queue. This will allow you to enter the syntax exactly as the error message shows. From previous testing I found it was okay to just use the account name rather than domain/account name on a domain bound server.

How to restrict users working on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2

Dear All,
We are having an infrastructure setup of around 500 client computers managed through group policy.
Recently the domain controllers have been migrated from Windows Server 2003 to Server 2008 R2.
Since this account requires extremely strict environment, we need to figure the solution for restricting the users from access anything locally.
It would be great if you can assist me with the following query.
How to restrict users logged on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and browsing other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2 ?
Can we disable Network Tab on the left hand pane ?
explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the Windows Explorer by clicking on the name which is visible on the Start Menu.

You cannot block explorer.exe when you do not replace the shell - the
desktop you see effectively IS explorer.exe...
Your requirement sounds like you need a custom shell:
