NIC teaming - Server 2008 R2 DC combined with other Software

Hello!
I've been searching all morning for an answer of what we have in mind to do at work....
We've got a server installed with Windows Server 2008 R2 and have 4 NICs on it. We want to make it a DC (with DNS, DHCP and print services) and also want to install our Backup Solution (from Veeam) for our VMs. This server will be the only physical Microsoft
server next to our 3 ESX servers at the end.
I read here (http://markparris.co.uk/2010/02/09/top-tipactive-directory-domain-controllers-and-teamed-network-cards/) that there is a statement that a DC with NIC teaming is only using the FO (Fail-Over) feature of the teaming. Since there is also the backup
solution on this server, it would be great also to use the LB (Load-Balancing) feature. My question is, when I active NIC teaming and install the DC roles, does the roles just use the FO feature and neglect the LB feature or does it enable/disable those modes/features
of NIC teaming? Cause it would be nice if the backup solution could use the LB for bigger bandwidth for backup and restores and I wouldn't really care about the FO for the DC role.
cheers

Hi,
I think the issue is related to the third party NIC teaming solution. You can refer to the third party manufacture.
Here I should remind you something else, a DC with multiple NICs will cause many problems. So I would recommend you run a dedicated
Hyper-v server and promote a DC on one of the virtual machine.
Hope this helps.

  • To install Remote Desktop Services User CAL on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP1

    Dear Sir,
    Presently we have installed Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition with SP 1. And now i would like to install Remote Desktop Services User CAL on this server. I have 25 digit product key of Windows Server
    2008 R2 Remote Desktop Services User CAL (20). Downloaded this product key from our MSDN Subscriptions.
    Kindly suggest me how to install (CAL server with product key that i have) and configure remote desktop services on my above existing server also how to point other server with my CAL server.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    1. Install Remote Desktop Session Host and Remote Desktop Licensing Role Services using Server Manager.
    2. Open RD Licensing Manager (licmgr.exe), Activate your server, then install your license
    3. In RD Session Host Configuration (tsconfig.msc), set the Licensing mode to Per User and Specify your RD Licensing server name (itself).  If you want you may configure these two settings via group policy setting instead.  The path of the
    group policy settings is Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Licensing
    4. You may point other RDSH servers to your RD Licensing server using RD Session Host Configuration or via group policy as mentioned above.
    5. Optionally you may consider installing other Remote Desktop Role Services such as RD Gateway, RD Web Access, RD Connection Broker, etc.

  • Some chart types cannot be combined with other chart types

    Good morning,
    I am working on a MacBook Air (purchased Oct 2009) running Lion. While working in Excel 2011, I encounter the error "Some chart types cannot be combined with other chart types. Please select a different chart type." I am highlighting 46 cells to create a marked line graph. There are no other charts in the file. I called Microsoft support who told me they had not heard of this problem in Excel (only in PowerPoint). I also took it to an Apple Store Genius, who was unable to solve the problem, which is understandable, given that he does not work for Microsoft.
    To try to resolve this issue, I have recopied the data to a new spreadsheet, re-typed all the data to a new spreadsheet, and deleted plist files. When I sent it to a different computer (which was running Excel 2011 and Snow Leopard), I could make the figure but I cannot edit the figure or add data on my laptop.
    Any suggestions that you have would be much appreciated,
    Signed,

    Hi, folks.
    Apparently, when using Excel 2011 and running Lion, if the tab names in excel contain a period (.), this error occurs. I removed the periods and now I can graph again. I hope this helps anyone else who may experience this problem.

    (The small field at the top of questions is to type just a title; the large field is to type your full question in, along with anything else that may help us help you.)
    When you say "print", do you mean the text is correct in your InDesign file? If you export the document to a PDF, is it still correct? Final test: if you print the PDF to your printer (making sure you use the same driver and setting), is it wrong? Then it's your printer driver, trying to be smart when it should not. Locate a Settings dialog where you can switch off options such as this one. Were I a betting person, I'd tell you to look for something called "Auto-correct mirrored documents".

  • TS2570 doesn't work, still the same problem when using Rapidweaver software. NOT with other software.

    i tried everything in this article, but still have the same problem when using Rapidweaver software. NOT with other software. I am converting my iWeb site  to Rapidweaver, whenever there is a calmer period in my office. I have 16 Gb RAM on my NEW iMac and have Parallels desktop, mail, safari, iWeb and Rapidweaver running simultanious.
    I never have the problem if i don't use Rapidweaver, but after i have added several pages to Rapidweaver, the problem begins. my iMac won't start up. the only thing that works is re-installing Macos OS X 10.8. i tried even whiping the completeharddrive, and reinstalling with a complete new user, the same problem.
    I had it on my previous iMac also, and bought a new one because i thought the problem was in the iMac first. i hadn't noticed it only happens with using rapidweaver.
    i sent my complete rapidweaver project to the programmers from rapidweaver at Realmacsoftware, but they couldnt reproduce my problem, there macs started up without any problem.
    i deleted all the rapidweaver addons and extra stacks, and started a complete new project.
    saterday i had the problem again, after adding about 5 new pages to my rapidweaver site.
    i think i have reinstalled Macos OS X 10.8.2 20 or 30 times by now

  • Interagration With Other Software

    Dear Gurus ,
                             How to Integration With Other Software To  SAP ( Media Advertising Management ) Module .
           Thanks In Advance
    Regards
    S.Siva

    Hi
    Generally when there are other softwares (non SAP) then they are connected through customized interfaces. The interface can be through a XML file or VITRIA interfaces.
    Some times real time RFC s are also used to call the transactions from outside SAP.
    Processing the information from other systems either will be through idoc or a Z* program which will process incoming vitria files.
    Idocs are created by convering the XML files (flat files) to idoc using standard sap programs.

  • SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 compatibility with TFS 2012?

    Hi all,
    I have a client who is planning on upgrading from SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 to SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3 but wants to make sure that their installed Team Foundation Server 2012 databases will be ok?
    I have found a Microsoft article saying that TFS 2012 support SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 but nothing about SP3.
    Thanks for your help!
    Martyn

    Hi Martyn,
    According to this
    article, Team Foundation Server 2012 (TFS 2012) requires SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 or SQL Server 2012. From my point of view, it means that we need to run at least SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 when using TFS 2012, and TFS 2012 can work with SQL Server 2008
    R2 SP1 later version (contains SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 and SQL Server 2008 R2 SP3).
    In addition, we recommend you install the latest released service pack for your SQL Server, as service pack includes a number of important fixes that TFS could benefit from.
    For TFS issues, for quick and accurate response, I would like to recommend that you ask the question in the Visual Studio  Team Foundation Server forums at
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?category=vstfs . It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
    Thanks,

  • Hyper-V vSwitch on a NIC-Team (Server 2012 R2) has limited connectivity

    Hi,
    I have two servers both running Server 2012 R2. One of these servers is serving as a DC and is working fine. The other is supposed to be a Hyper-V-Host, but I cannot get networking working on this system. Both systems have Hyper-V role installed. Both have
    2 NICs configured as a team. The team is configured as switch-independent, Hyper-V-Port, None (all adapters active). A Hyper-V-Switch using this team as external network is configured and is shared with the host operating system. This should work fine and
    does on one of the servers. On the other I get a warning sign stating limited connectivity. The server seems to sent packages but it receives none. Deleting the switch and simply using the team for network access works fine. So it has to be related to the
    switch. But I do not know what's wrong with it. Any ideas?
    Regards,
    Oliver

    Generally please don’t install others role on Hyper-V server, if your DC using NIC teaming, please break the teaming then monitor this issue again.

  • CR Server 2008 / Using openDocument interface with a no-logon wrapper

    Hi, all!
    I had a problem with the openDocument.jsp interface and a no-logon wrapper which took me quite a while to figure out. I'm now posting these results here in the hopes that someone else will find them useful. Of course, if anyone has input how to improve the solution, it's also welcome!
    The system on which this was developed and tested was a vanilla Crystal Reports Server 2008 installation on Tomcat / MySQL / Windows Server 2003.
    The problem was that calls to openDocument interface left sessions open and this quickly led to the situation where all the concurrent access licenses (CALs) were used. It seemed nondeterministic when a session was released; it could have been minutes or hours.
    The solution: write a HTTP session timeout listener which logoffs the CRS-backend session. (The code below has still some dubug output enabled.)
    package fi.niscayah.util;
    import com.crystaldecisions.sdk.framework.IEnterpriseSession;
    import javax.servlet.http.*;
    import java.util.Date;
    import java.util.Enumeration;
    import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
    public class KillSession implements HttpSessionListener
        public void sessionCreated(HttpSessionEvent event)
            debug("sessionCreated()", event);
        public void sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent event)
            HttpSession session = event.getSession();
            try {
                java.util.Enumeration name = session.getAttributeNames();
                while (name.hasMoreElements()) {
                    String attributeName = (String)name.nextElement();
                    Object attribute = session.getAttribute(attributeName);
                    if((attribute != null) && (attribute instanceof IEnterpriseSession)) {
                        debug("  attribute : " + attributeName);
                        debug("  type      : " + attribute.getClass().getName());
                        IEnterpriseSession ies = (IEnterpriseSession)attribute;
                        ies.logoff();
                debug("sessionDestroyed()", event);
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                debug("sessionDestroyed() exception");
        private void debug(String msg)
            SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");
            String timestamp = sdf.format(new Date());
            System.err.println("[KillSession] [" + timestamp + "] " + msg);
        private void debug(String msg, HttpSessionEvent event)
            HttpSession session = event.getSession();
            String id = session.getId();
            String context = session.getServletContext().getServletContextName();
            debug("[" + context + "] [" + id + "] " + msg);
    (If you want to test the above code, create a .jar package out of it and put it in webapps/OpenDocument/WEB-INF/lib.)
    Next we need to register our listener. I noticed that the openDocument-webapp's web.xml-file already contained a listener definition that claimed to expire enterprise sessions on HTTP timeout. I never saw such results; I tested it by registering my own listener, which only outputted debug information, and then when ever a session timeout happened, I checked the amount of licenses in use via the CMC - it never dropped predictably.
    So, comment out the SessionCleanupListener and add KillSession.
    <!-- SK: Added own listener. -->
    <listener>
        <listener-class>fi.niscayah.util.KillSession</listener-class>
    </listener>
    <!-- SK: Commented out. -->
    <!-- SessionCleanupListener is used to expire the EnterpriseSession when the web session is timeout -->   
    <!-- <listener>
        <listener-class>com.businessobjects.sdk.ceutils.SessionCleanupListener</listener-class>
    </listener> -->
    After the above, change the HTTP session timeout to something more suitable. If you're creating really big reports, one minute might be too little. Also notice, that the value is an approximation. The timeout event might happen just as one minute has passed, but usually it takes more.
    <session-config>
        <session-timeout>1</session-timeout>
    </session-config>
    Now we're good to go and test the openDocument interface. The result should be that every time a HTTP session timeouts, an enterprise session (which was initialized via the openDocument call) is logged off.
    Next the no-logon wrapper.
    I found a lot of examples for logging in automatically, but every one of them exhibited a strange behavior (at least when used in conjunction with the openDocument interface) where the session count was increased by two. A lot of head scratching later, the solution below was devised.
    <%@ page language="java"
        import = "com.crystaldecisions.sdk.framework.CrystalEnterprise,
                  com.crystaldecisions.sdk.framework.IEnterpriseSession,
                  com.crystaldecisions.sdk.framework.ISessionMgr,
                  com.crystaldecisions.sdk.exception.SDKException"
    %>
    <%
    ISessionMgr sessionManager = CrystalEnterprise.getSessionMgr();
    IEnterpriseSession entSession = sessionManager.logon("Guest", "", "<server>:6400", "secEnterprise");
    String entToken = entSession.getLogonTokenMgr().createWCAToken("", 1, 1);
    // So that this can be logged off when the session timeouts
    HttpSession httpSession = request.getSession();
    httpSession.setAttribute("nologon_SESSION", entSession);
    String query = request.getQueryString();        
    String redirectURL = "http://<server>:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?" +
        query + "&token=" + entToken;
    response.sendRedirect(redirectURL);
    %>
    You can put the above .jsp-file where you like, but I dropped it in webapps/openDocument, since it's no use by itself.
    The use of nologon.jsp is simple: use it as you would openDocument.jsp.
    And there you have it. A word of warning though, if you're not sure what you're doing, I wouldn't recommend trying these things out. And you certainly shouldn't deploy these on a production environment.
    As said before, any input is welcome!

    I'll comment on the BusinessObjects Enterprise logon tokens that you may generate via the Enterprise SDK.
    DefaultToken - this is used for failover - i.e., if the original EnterpriseSession object is destroyed without having logoff() method invoked, the failover can be used to re-connect to Enterprise without redo-ing authentication.  This token is immediately invalidated with EnterpriseSession.logoff().
    CreateLogonToken - token represents an EnterpriseSession independent of the original EnterpriseSession that generates it.  So you should generated the CreateLogonToken and log off the EnterpriseSession before using the token, or you'll have two licenses being used.
    CreateWCAToken - the Web Component Adapter token - this token is tied to the EnterpriseSession used to create it.  If this EnterpriseSession is invalidated, the WCA token can no longer be used.  Since this is essentially re-use of the original EnterpriseSession, license count is not increased with its use.
    So in your application, you're generating the WCA Token, and using the Session Listener to explicitly log off the originating EnterpriseSession.  The SessionCleanupListener is for cleaning up sessions created within InfoView on Web Application Server Session timeout.
    Sincerely,
    Ted Ueda

  • Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials connecting with Launchpad on Mac OS 10.9.2

    Note: Note to moderators, I accidentally submitted this to Windows Small Business Server Forums. If someone could move this thread to the appropriate directory would be much appreciated.
    Hello we have a client which has a Mac OSX 10.9.2 and we are trying to connect the Mac Launchpad to the Mac. We have a VPN set up and it is working correctly so we connect to the server by using servername:65510/connect/ this brings us up with the correct
    screen and prompts us to download software for mac, when opening we can get to the mac connector and we go through all the setup however when we reach "User Credentials" and we enter the correct password it comes up saying "Cannot connect to
    the server using the name that was entered. Check if the specified value is correct and try again." We have set up macs before using this software the only difference is this is the first Mac which has been on OSX 10.9 Mavericks. 
    We have spent countless hours diagnosing and looking into all the possible reasons this could be and the only conclusion is that it must either be a software glitch on the Mac or on the server itself. I was doing some research and found a thread by a user

    "This is apparently a problem with Update Rollup 4 for the server.  If you remove this update it will allow you to move forward
    with the installation of the MAC connector software using Admin credentials.  Hope this helps.  (It seems you can apply the update after the software installs and everything should continue to work.)"
    This would fit in perfectly with our problem and I could not find any sources to confirm this information. Can anyone confirm if this is issue is correct and if uninstalling Rollup 4 will make this work? 

    Hi James,
    Based on your description, I can find a known issue for this
    Update Rollup 4. Please check if fit the current situation of your problem. Descript as below:
    You cannot install this update by using a Mac client connector that has Update Rollup 4 for Windows Storage
    Server 2008 R2 Essentials installed. This issue occurs because of a change requirement for Mac external binaries. To work around this issue, reinstall the Mac client connector before you install Update Rollup 4.
    Note: This issue only occurs on a server that has Update Rollup 3 for Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Essentials
    installed.
    By the way, did
    you install the Mac client connector by using administrator account?
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu

  • JTDS not connecting with SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 + SSL with Java 6 U34-35

    Environment:
    Windows 7 Pro 32-bit
    SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2 (Forced Encryption = Yes, No Certificate provided to server)
    Java 6 Update 27-35 and Java 7 Update 2-7
    jTDS 1.2.2 and 1.2.6
    Under the following setup, our Java application is able to connect to the SQL Server database:
    - SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2
    - Java 6 Update 27-33 or Java 7 Update 2-5
    just switching the JVM to the following would cause the application to be unable to connect to the database:
    - Java 6 Update 34 or 35, or Java 7 Update 6 or 7
    Browsing through the Java 6 Update 34 release notes, it looks like nothing big was changed, so I'm wondering what has changed with Java 6 U34 and Java 7 U6. I was also looking through a packet sniffer, and indeed the behavior of Java 6 Update 33 and lower was different from Java 6 Update 34 (although I couldn't understand the messages being passed, the number of connections and messages were different).
    * This is different from the issue with Java 6 Update 29-30 and Java 7 wherein they were patched for the BEAST SSL vulnerability. That was fixed with the SP2 patch for SQL Server 2008 R2, and for SQL Server 2008 you'd need a hotfix aside from SP3. After patching the server with those updates, Java 6 Update 29-33 and Java 7 U1-5 should be able to connect to the database.
    * If I do switch off Force Encryption, all Java versions are able to connect to the database.

    Hi,
    It's four months later, but my colleague and I have reproduced the same behavior in both our commercial product, and a very simple example class. It's exactly as you describe it, where the latest versions of both Java 6 and 7 (and several previous versions) hang during the first jTDS SQL query to the DB (immediately after the SSL and handshake). It also happens with the Microsoft JDBC driver.
    If you disable the BEAST SSL fix (-Djsse.enableCBCProtection=false), then the connections work without any problems. So, while this is different from the original BEAST SSL problem and subsequent fix, it really seems like some additional changes were made to the fix in a later Java release that broke things.
    My colleague has filed a bug with Oracle, and is awaiting a response. We also filed a bug at the jTDS project (#690 - http://sourceforge.net/p/jtds/bugs/690/) that has simple reproduction steps. A contributer at the jTDS project agrees that this seems to be a problem with the JRE, and is not specific to jTDS.
    I hope that Oracle will address this issue soon. We need to periodically update the JRE due to vulnerabilities, and we need to have SSL for our JDBC connections for security reasons. This bug puts us and others in a difficult position.
