NIC teaming and direct access in windows 2012 server core

Hello All,
I have installed windows 2012 r2 server core and i want to implement direct access with nic teaming enabled.
Has anyone tried this kind of setup? Were they successful in it? Moreover can we configure Direct access when we have NIC teaming configured?
-Ashish

Hi There - NIC teaming in both core and gui is a standard feature and there is no reason (and I have used it successfully) why you cannot do so. As always make sure you look at TCP Offload as per UAG / TMG Days to ensure best performance and also Network
Card Binding Order.

Direct Access on windows 2012 with OTP

Hello everyone,
i've just finished setting up Direct Access 2012 with Gemalto's OTP solution for a client,
i have an issue though, without OTP all is working fine, and when i activate OTP with all the certificates and stuff when i enter the OTP code on my client it looks like its not validating it.
on the Direct Access Server i get this error:
Erreur : Challenge returned.
source: RemoteAccess-RemoteAccessServer
ID: 10042
i have absolutely no errors on my radius server... any idea on why the server is rejecting my requests ?
thanks for the help
Hitch Bardawil

Hi
I deployed this scenario for a Customer of mine a few months ago with GEMALTO. It's a little bit tricky but possible. For some trroubleshooting tips have a look at one of my blog posts :
http://danstoncloud.com/blogs/simplebydesign/archive/2013/10/26/the-0x80040008-directaccess-otp-case.aspx.
At last for your OTP operating in Challenge/response mode. It's not possible. It's a NPS limitation :
http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/jj618331.aspx"The OTP
provider used requires the user to provide additional credentials in the form of a RADIUS challenge/response exchange, which is not supported by Windows Server 2012 DirectAccess OTP."

Trying to install and configure RRAS in WIndows 2012 Server R2 but cannot

I just installed Windows Server 2012 R2 standard and trying to install RRAS.
Following these steps:
To install RRAS
Perform one of the following two steps to start the Add Roles Wizard:
Start Server Manager. In the main window, under Roles Summary, click
Add roles.
In the Initial Configuration Tasks window that appears when you first log on, under
Customize This Server, click Add roles.
On the Before You Begin page, click Next.
Note
This page does not appear if you previously selected Skip this page by default.
On the Select Server Roles page, select Network Policy and Access Services, and then click
Next twice.
On the Select Role Services page, select Routing and Remote Access Services.
Once I get to step 4 I do not see Routing and Remote Access listed under role services. Any idea why this is?
Thanks,
Craig

Hello,
please see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ubn5fkXZq8
And use "Remote Access" instead "Network Policy and Access Services".

Windows Server 2012 R2 NIC Teaming and DHCP Issue

Came across a weird issue today during a server deployment. I was doing a physical server deployment and got Windows installed and was getting ready to connect it to our network. Before connecting the Ethernet cables to the network adapters, I created a
NIC Team using Windows Server 2012 R2 built-in software with a static IP address (we'll say its 192.168.1.56). Once I plugged in the Ethernet cables, I got network access but was unable to join our domain. At this time, I deleted the NIC team and the two network
adapters got their own IP addresses issued from DHCP (192.168.1.57 and 192.168.1.58) and at this point I was able to join our domain. I recreated the NIC team and set a new static IP (192.168.1.57) and everything was working great as intended.
My issue is when I went into DHCP I noticed a random entry that was using the IP address I used for the first NIC teaming attempt (192.168.1.56), before I joined it to the domain. I call this a random entry because it is using the last 8 characters of the
MAC address as the hostname instead of the servers hostname.
It seems when I deleted the first NIC team I created (192.168.1.56), a random MAC address Server 2012 R2 generated for the team has remained embedded in the system. The IP address is still pingable even though an ipconfig /all shows the current NIC team
with the IP 192.168.1.57. There is no IP address of 192.168.1.56 configured on the current server and I have static IPs set yet it is still pingable and registering with DHCP.
I know this is slightly confusing but I am hoping someone else has encountered this issue and may be able to tell me how to fix this. Simply deleting the DHCP entry does not do the trick, it comes back.

Hi,
Please confirm you have choose the right NIC team type, If you’ve previously configured NIC teaming, you’re aware NIC teams usually require the assistance of network-side
protocols. Prior to Windows 2012, using a NIC team on a server also meant enabling protocols like EtherChannel or LACP (also known as 802.1ax or 802.3ad) on network ports.

Using NIC Teaming and a virtual switch for Windows Server 2012 host networking and Hyper-V.

Using NIC Teaming and a virtual switch for Windows Server 2012 host networking!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mOuoIWzmdE
Hi thanks for reading. Now I may well have my terminology incorrect here so I will try to explain as best I can and apologies from the start.
It’s a bit of both Hyper-v and Server 2012R2.
I am setting up a lab with Server 2012 R2. I have several physical network cards that I have teamed called “HostSwitchTeam” from those I have made several Virtual Network Adaptors such as below
examples.
New-VMSwitch "MgmtSwitch" -MinimumBandwidthMode weight -NetAdaptername "HostSwitchTeam" -AllowManagement $false
Add-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -Name "Vswitch" -SwitchName "MgmtSwitch"
Add-VMNetworkAdapter -ManagementOS -Name "Cluster" -SwitchName "MgmtSwitch"
When I install Hyper-V and it comes to adding a virtual switch during installation it only shows the individual physical network cards and the
HostSwitchTeam for selection. When installed it shows the Microsoft Network Multiplexor Driver as the only option.
Is this correct or how does one use the Vswitch made above and incorporate into the Hyper-V so a weight can be put against it.
Still trying to get my head around Vswitches,VMNetworkadapters etc so somewhat confused as to the way forward at this time so I may have missed the plot altogether!
Any help would be much appreciated.

Paul Edwards

Hi P.J.E,
>>I have teams so a bit confused as to the adapter bindings and if the teams need to be added or just the vEthernet Nics?.
Nic 1,2
HostVMSwitchTeam
Nic 3,4,5
HostMgmtSwitchTeam
>>The adapter Binding settings are:
HostMgmtSwitchTeam
V-Curric
Nic 3
Nic 4
Nic 5
V-Livemigration
HostVMSwitch
Nic 1
Nic 2
V-iSCSI
V-HeartBeat
Based on my understanding of the description , "HostMgmtSwitchTeam and
HostVMSwitch " are teamed NIC .
You can think of them as two physical NICs (do not use NIC 1,2,3,4,5 any more , there are just two NICs "HostMgmtSwitchTeam and
HostVMSwitch").
V-Curric,
V-Livemigration , V-iSCSI ,
V-HeartBeat are just VNICs of host (you can change their name then check if the virtual switch name will be changed )

Direct Access on Windows Server 2012 R2 and IPV6

I have a question about IPV6 and Direct Access in Server 2012 R2. Without using UAG is it still mandatory to have IPV6 enabled in the intranet?
Kristopher Turner | Not the brightest bulb but by far not the dimmest bulb.

Hi,
DirectAccess uses IPv6 with IPsec to create a secure connection between DirectAccess client computers and the internal corporate network.
However, DirectAccess does not necessarily require connectivity to the IPv6 Internet or native IPv6 support on internal networks. Instead, it automatically configures and uses IPv6 transition technologies to tunnel IPv6 traffic across the IPv4 Internet (6to4,
Teredo, IP-HTTPS) and across your IPv4-only intranet (NAT64 or ISATAP).
For detailed information, please view the link below,

Correct binding order in a Cluster with logical switches, NIC teams, and vNICs on the host.

I have seen many recommendations to set the network binding order on you Hyper-V hosts to something similar to:
Management NIC
Cluster NICs
iSCSI NICS
However, all of these recommendations are for scenarios where the NICs are all physical NICs in the host.
Using Server 2012 R2, I am building converged networks with logical switches, NIC Teams, and vNICs on the host. So when I go set the network binding order, I now have all these components to deal with as well. For example, on a 4 adapter blade,
I might typically have the following items in the binding order drop-down.
4 - physical NICs (2- teamed for the 1 virtual switch, the other 2 used for iSCSI)
1 - Team interface (Datacenter_Switch)
5 - vNICs (Management, Cluster, LiveMigration, iSCSI-1, iSCSI-2)
So, should you only worry about order of the vNICS (placed at the top) and let the other components just fall to the bottom of the list? This seems to be likely to me, since the binding order applies to service access to the resources, and the other
components are not being directly accessed by network services?
Or, should the order start out with the physical resources needed to access the vNICs, followed by any intermediate resources (switches or team interfaces, then the vNICS themselves, to ensure that the resources are available to the subcompnents accessing
them?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
-Tim Reid

If by 'network binding order' you mean the order set in the Advanced Settings of the Network Connections of the Control Panel, then the most important one is to make sure the domain network is at the top of the list. Whichever network is at the top
of the list is used first for auth functions. So auth functions perform best when the proper network is placed first in the binding order. After that, I don't know that it makes much difference at all. (If it does, I'm sure my statement will
start a lively discussion. <grin>)

Access denied in Windows 2012 Server Manager after a period of time working without problems

Hello,
I had 2 servers with windows 2012 installed in a domain (dc is in a 3rd server) and both added to server manager of each other. Both servers had Failover cluster installed and configured roles. After startup in both servers i can see the other and manage
it without problems (in server manager and failover cluster manages) but after a period of 30-40 minutes in both servers I see "Online - Data Retrieval failures Ocurred" for the partner server and "Online - Access Denied" for local server.
When I access de Failure Cluster Manager I had errors accessing resources and roles and can´t failover the cluster.
I removed the failover cluster thinking that could be the original problem, remove servers from domain, change names and add again to the domain without install failover cluster.
Now, the servers have not the failover cluster feature and the problem persists. 30-40 minutes after boot the server manager show messages of inaccesible partner with same messages. I tried to execute powershell commands to add a new ip to the NIC and I
receive a Access Denied Message and show Access Denied message in other events in log.
I´m using Domain Administrator Account and tried different solutions but not solved. I saw that this message can occur in a variety of different scenarios, but i don´t know why works during a period of time before failing. It´s frustrating
Regards
EDITED: in detail of Online - Data retrieval failures i see that: Configuration refresh failed with the following error: The metadata failed to be retrieved from the server, due to the following error: The WS-Management service cannot process the request.
The WMI provider returned an 'access denied' error.

Hi PabloVDL,
It seems is this two server has register the incorrect DNS, please try to add this server manage NIC IP to your manager hosts file or if possible trmpory disable the useless NIC DNS register. This issue also some times caused by when you installed
the HP insignth management, if in your environment you have this tools please temporarily uninstall it.

I have OS X 10.8.5 and try access to Windows Server 2008R2

I have OS X 10.8.5 and try access to Windows Server 2008R2. Can help me with the steps to do it. Actually at connect show the message "Error de conexion compruebe que gestion remota en el panel compartir de preferencias del sistema esté activado en el ordenador al que intenta conectarse. Compruebe tambien que su conexcion de red funciona correctamente.
I can connect to Windows Server 2008r2 with other programs like 2X or Cord but can't copy o move files, for these reasons I'd buy Apple Remote Desktop but had the problem of conection.
Thanks for your answer.

JLC - have you tried http://www.microsoft.com/mac/remote-desktop-client ? I have been using this and CORD for quite some time with success. As long as you configure to allow access to local filesystem, you can transfer filtes to/from the Windows server you are connecting to.
EDIT: actual download page for client is:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18140
One thing to note though, since I updated my MBP to 10.8.5, copy/paste of text has not worked for me with either of those RDP clients.

Please help...i have a windows 2012 server and it keeps closing after 30 mins...

hi. i have a windows 2012 server and it keeps closing after 30 mins...i am connected thru RDP and have looked everywhere online for a tutorial to change the setting that keeps closing it but can't find it anywhere! please help!

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Have you check the timeout and reconnection setting for RDP?
Does disconnection happens on active session or Idle session?
We can configure the setting by collection properties or by GPO setting.
On collection Properties check the Timeout Tab and set the setting according to your requirement. On GPO we can find this setting on below mention path and check according to it.

Difference between standard dtp and direct access dtp

Hi,
Can anybody tell me the difference between standard DTP and Direct access DTP other than Help.sap.com.
Regards,
Devi

simple words.. Standard DTP needs to use for Physical data targets loading.
Direct Access DTP needs to use for virtual providers. you won't pull data into BI. it will directly retrive from DS while reporting .

Synchronization fails on Windows 2012 Server

Hello, Running DPM 2012 R2, Protected computer Windows 2012 Standard
I'm backing up only folders (19 GB) on a Windows 2012 server which also have SCCM 2012 installed on it. The initial replica and recovery point creations are successful. Any
scheduled synchronization job scheduled after will fail. The job display "In progress" but there is 0 MB data transferred and will remain in that stage for days until I cancel the job. A reboot of the protected server
resolves the issue temporarily where I might get a couple days of successful synchronization\recovery points but then the job will freeze again. I have looked in the event logs and the logs in Monitoring on the DPM server and also on the protected computer
but have not found any error that points to the cause. Has anyone seen this issue? Will be grateful if someone can point me in the right direction of troubleshooting this issue. Thank you.

Not seeing any errors that stands out. Here is the log from today's synchronization job that is hung.

How to change the root domain name in window 2012 server

Got a window 2012 server build up. My root domain name looks something like corp.marketing Well I seems to have missed to add the last .com or .local. How do I add the .com to my existing root domain name please. The server is new, will
go online in few days time. Thanks for all the help.

I have a similar question and not sure if this is the right place. I had set a server with corp.brighterworld.com but the install wizard anywhere access had me believe that microsoft's strongly preferred domain name prefix was remote.brighterworld.com so
I contacted GoDaddy and had it reissued as remote. but when I went to reconfigure for the new name. I had already set the server for being a CA, and in that process it issued like 4 or 5 certificates. So I had tried to rebuild the machine from scratch, but
the it didn't wipe everything, but rather saved previous state which left the old certificate stuff to be dealt with. Any hints or help out here for us having to learn this stuff the hard way?
Thanks,
Mark Saxton
