No event logs when RAID fails in Server 2008 and R2

From what I'm finding out (by web searching) they forgot to include event logging in Server 2008 for when a Windows software RAID fails in some way such as missing disk, failed redundancy, etc. This is REALLY annoying as I was trying to setup email notifications
for when this happens so I can fix it. I'm just using this on my servers at home, so I'm not big on the idea of spending a lot of money on a hardware RAID, it just does some simple network file sharing and streaming and software RAID is fine. Is there anyway
to get this to work properly, like it used to?! Hotfix? Sacrifice a small animal? Free third-party tools that would work if nothing else? Would a MOM server be able to notify me? (been considering setting up one of those and SCCM to mess with)

Thanks guys for chiming in. The only way Microsoft will know this is a big deal (you would think they would, but apparently not), is for people to complain. I found this out myself when I was trying to set up event triggered tasks to email on low disk space
and RAID failure, only to find no events are created on RAID failures!
I have setup a SCOM 2007 R2 server in my testing environment. It registers and alerts me for low disk space just fine, but the availability monitor is not tripped when I break a RAID volume. I have tried offlining a disk, which results in failed redundancy,
and also shutting down the VM and removing a drive, and neither seems to trip an alert. Do I have to do something to get it to monitor correctly?

When will Oracle 10g/11g support Windows Server 2008 and AIX6.1

Hi all
I'm sorry if I post it in a wrong place... But I really want to know when will Oracle 10g/11g support Windows Server 2008 and AIX 6.1?
I've searched in metalink but found nothing useful. Is there anybody can give me a link of Oracle's roadmap for platform support?
Thanks!

Oracle does not announce release dates and neither
does any other software company.But Oracle does have a very good track record of supporting their products on new windows releases extremely close to the windows release date. Clearly they can't support on an unreleased platform though. Given that the launch of Server 2008 isn't even complete worldwide yet (19th March in the UK for example) it would seem that this enquiry is a little premature.

Cannot install Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Client Tools on same machine

I am having trouble setting up Crystal Reports Server 2008 with Client Tools on a new Windows 2003 SP 2 machine. The Server 2008 package installs OK (built-in MySQL server, built-in Tomcat 5.5 server). Reports run okay. But my customer wants to run reports that use Salesforce as a data source, so I tried to install Crystal Reports Server 2008 Client Tools (needed for Salesforce support, apparently). I receive this error:
'Business Objects product detected: cannot continue with install'. Installation of Client Tools immediately terminates.
Oddly enough, when I uninstalled Server 2008, the Client Tools installed successfully. Then I tried installing Server 2008, and I got the same error message as with Server 2008. What the heck?
Any ideas on how I can get Server 2008 and Server 2008 Client Tools to live in harmony on the same machine? We were able to do this with a (otherwise overloaded) Win2K3 server before.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Typically the client tools are installed with enterprise by default. If not then you would want to use add/remove in control panel and select them. The installer thinks you are trying to install enterprise on top of itself and thus the error.

Tim

Sql server 2008 and Windows 8

Hi
I published my WPF application using VS 2010 Express edition and trying to install it on Windows 8. The application runs but when it comes to searching the database that was included in the installation package it gives the error
"This program has compatibility issues Microsoft SQL Server(2008 and 2008 R2)"
The installer when setup was run did download SQL Server so I am not sure why I am getting this error. Any advice?

Hello,
Service Pack 3 for SQL Server 2008 is required to make it compatible for Windows 8 or Windows 8.1. For more information,
please read the following Support article:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2681562?wa=wsignin1.0
You can download SP3 from the following URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=27594
If you are installing SQL Server 2008, continue setup despite of the warning and apply SP3 after installing SQL Server 2008.
Hope this helps.

Difference between Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Business Objects XI R2

Can anyone please help me know the difference between Crystal Reports Server 2008 and Business Objects XI R2? Both the support guides says that it supports Office 2007. I have a problem in exporting the reports to Excel 2007 .I have downloaded the trial version of Crystal Reports Server 2008 but still unable to view my complete reports in Excel 2007 through infoview because few of my report's colums are truncated and it still exports in Excel 2003.I have LiveOfficeXIR2_SP4 and Office 2007 installed. Is it so that i have to switch over to Business Objects XI R2 or any other to solve my problem instead of using Crystal Reports Server 2008 or is it the problem with the version of my Live office.Pls help me regarding this..

Indexing .cfm files using Indexing Service on windows server 2008 and IIS 7.0

Hi All,
Anyone knows why .cfm files would not get indexed by Indexing Service on windows server 2008 and IIS 7.0. This is a coldfusion website using Indexing Service for site search. There are a lot of cfm pages indexed as unknown files. Any clues on how this can be fixed?
Thanks!

You might try editing your registry so that *.cfm, *.cfc, and other ColdFusion related files are treated as text files by the Windows search feature. See link below.

How do you repair ntoskrnl.exe error or system error in windows server 2008 and 2012

hi,
can you repair system file errors like ntoskrnl.exe in windows server 2008 and 2012 like like before in windows server 2003 ?
the steps were repairing ntoskrnl.exe error in windows server 2003
1- have a 2003 cd and from that cd start recovery console and copy from i386 directory ntldr and ntdetect.com to windows /system32 directory on the server and then repairing
2- MBR with fixmbr command and then rebuild BOT.INI file with bootcfg/rebuild .
now my question is how you repair or solve such problem with ntoskrnl.exe error in windows server 2008 and windows server 2012

thanks
johan
h.david
What will take a lot of time? Repair or clean install? These days one can standup a new VM and have an operating system on it in around 20 minutes or so.
Correct server 2003 is file based deployment and completely different OS from repair perspective as well.

CSA 6.0 event log error - Operation Failed

CSA 6.0.0.209, Windows 2003 server
When viewing Event Log or any Group events, receive Operation Failed error. CSAMCLOG shows MS SQL timeout errors during these operations. However, I am able to view Host events and general events using Event Monitor.
--Russell Manaois

You are possibly encountering bug CSCtg78612. This occurs when the CSA MC is updated from an earlier version of 6.0 to 6.0.2 and managed agents have not yet been upgraded. You should be able to address the issue by scheduling agent upgrades for the affected hosts.

Continuous "36888 Schannel Errors" in System Event Log when NOT connected to Internet

We are hoping someone will be able to assist with us this very strange issue please ?
We are using Windows 8.1 x64 Enterprise with Office 2013 and the latest Symantec Endpoint Proctecion v12.1.5 installed. They are managed using SCCM2012 in a large AD domain environment
When our workstations are NOT connected to the internet (only local intranet) the following errors appear in SYSTEM event log almost continuously (several times a minute).
Event ID:36888 User: SYSTEM OpCode:Info Level:Error Source:SChannel
"A fatal alert was generated and sent to the remote endpoint. This may result in termination of the connection. The TLS protocol defined fatal error code is 70. The Windows Schannel error state is 11."
The process associated with these events is "Local Security Authority Process"
When an internet connection is enabled for these machines these 36888 errors will suddenly stop !.
An event "Error 36887 "A fatal alert was received from the remote endpoint. The TLS protocol defined fatal alert code is 40." Is also occurring on these machines but only occasionally.
As a result, We suspect there must be a process continuously attempting to connect to an internet service and failing ?.
Some of the things we have tried so far;
- We have disabled all non-essential services (e.g. Windows Store Service) one by one but this didn't fix.
- We have tried disabling Tile updates on Start
- We have tried a bunch of different Group Policy settings to disable different combinations of TLS/SSL in IE config.
- We have searched the internet forums and tried some suggested fixes but this combination of error state and error code seems unique ?.
It doesn't happen on our Windows 7 x64 workstations that have much same apps & configuration.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated !
Thanks.

Hi Makes006,
This Event ID 36888 occurs if a user tries to access a web site using HTTP but specifies an SSL port in the URL.
We can try clean boot to troubleshoot whether this issue is caused by a third party program .
How to perform a clean boot in Windows
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
If there is no sensible impacts on operating the machines ,we can try to disable this log by modify the following registry key value to 0.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\EventLogging

Login fails when connecting to SQL Server 2008

There were 3 databases and a report server database on sql server 2008 r2. All were renamed. Now, when trying to connect to sql server I am getting a login failed error for default database. I'm guessing because the default db name was changed. How
can I fix this so that I can connect to the db server\instance?
Thanks

Hi ,
According to your description, I do a test in SQL Server 2008R2. If you use windows system admin account to log in the instance via Windows authentication, even if you change all use database name, you can still log in successfully. However, if you create
a SQL Server login name to connect to instance via SQL Server authentication, when you change the default database name, it will
occur the error which just like at follows .
//Cannot open user default database. Login failed.
Login failed for user '***'. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider), Error Number: 4064//
I recommend you change the default database any existing database on your server like master via clicking on Option , or you can run following statement for username
to replace your original database name with master.
ALTER LOGIN [login name] WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE = master
GO

Creating a Custom Event Log View Shortcut on a server desktop for an admin

Good morning,
We have a new admin starting and I would like to create custom event log view shortcut on there desktop for each server they need to check. Is there a way to do this in Server 2012 and Server 2008?
I have figured out how to create a shortcut of the Application and System log, but not Custom Views. Thanks.

Hi,
Based on my research, you can create a custom view like
this.However, I tried miltiple ways to create a shortcut of the custom view of the event viewer and no result. I can only create a shortcut of the event viewer. You may need a script can achieve that.
Best regards,

Exception write to event log when user not found in active directory

I'm trying to use a exception to write to a event log to show which user did not get imported from my csv file. Any help to write this exception is appreciated. Thanks
Import-CSV $importfile | ForEach-Object{
$samaccountname = $_.sAMAccountName.ToLower() #samaccountname on csv file
Try {
$exists = Get-ADUser -LDAPFilter "(sAMAccountName=$samaccountname)" #Filter user by samaccountname
Catch
write-host "Users did not exist." #user does not exisit

To your question:
"How can I create a new event log every time without saving to the original event log textfile?"
The answer provided by Mike Laughlin doesn't require you save anything to a text file - so either I'm misunderstanding this follow-up, or you are misunderstanding Mike's post. :)
To answer your other follow up... try:
$goodCount = 0
$badCount = 0
Import-Csv $importFile | ForEach {
$SamAccountName = $_.SamAccountName
try {
$user = Get-ADUser -Identity $SamAccountName -ErrorAction Stop
$goodCount++
} catch {
Write-EventLog # <-finish this command however you want
$badCount++
write-host "Users imported: $goodCount"
write-host "Users not imported: $badCount"

Error 0x80070643 when installing DHCP Windows Server 2008 ENTERPRISE SP2 64bit

Attemp to install DHCP Server failed with error code 0x80070643. Fatal error during installation.
Please somebody help me!....
Jorge

Hi Jorge,
I am sorry to hear that.
Here are a few things that I suggest you try:
Grant Full Control for SYSTEM, NETWORK SERVICE and Administrator on C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\networkservice folder.
If you have Windows Process Activation service installed on the machine, uninstall it.
Open required RPC ports.
More information for you:

If the issue still persists, please check the event logs to see if there are any related error messages and troubleshoot accordingly.

ADMT 3.2 Failing on Server 2008 R2 Enterprise

I'm getting a failure after ADMT 3.2 successfully installs. The install log says it is successful.
The error is: "Unable to check for failed actions: DBManager.IManageDB. 1: Unable to retrieve the database file path from the registy. The system cannot find the file specified."
Research on the forums indicates that this would be an error when attmepting to install ADMT on a Domain Controller. The server I am installing this on is NOT a DC... It's a member server.
I have tried various versions of SQL Express (NOT R2)... 2005 SP3, 2008 SP1 and the issue is the same. I've uninstalled ADMT, removing the ADMT directory from Windows, etc.
How can I dianose what is going on ?

Solution to the issue "error opening ADMT console unable to retrieve the database path from the registry" is
1. The account with which you are installing ADMT and SQL should be added into local administrators specifically even it is a part of domain admin.
2. While providing the SQL Server details , use the name of server instead of .(dot) for local server, if your SQL Express is locally installed.
Following above two points resolved my issue on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard as well as on Enterprise SP1
