Non-Domain joined clients connect to server initially but cannot connect via Launchpad

Running SBS 2011 Essentials in a small office. Running XP/Vista/7 clients. All working fine until we swapped routers. Old router died, new router was installed.
Now all domain-joined PC's connect as normal, but all NON-Domain-Joined PC's cannot access the server via the launchpad. I get the "The server appears to be offline. Do you want to sign in to offline mode?" box.
Tried removing PC from the SBS Dashboard, uninstalling the connector from the client, restarting client, and reinstalling the connector. I can install the connector (using
http://<server ip>/connect , but not http://<servername>/connect
). Connector installs but it still tells me the server is offline when trying to use dashboard or launchpad on the client.
Note: I can add a network location or Map a network drive to ther server after inputting my network password from Windows.
Any Services to check? Firewalls exceptions to ensure? Advice?
EDIT: Dashboard on Server shows Client, sometimes as online, sometimes as offline.

Sounds like name resolution issue to me.
Are all your clients set to use the IP of the Essentials Server for their primary DNS?

Apple TV connects to the network but cannot connect to the internet.

Apple TV connects to the network but cannot connect to the internet. Works on other Apple TV's we have just not this new one. Defective??? Thank you!

This might help:
Apple TV (2nd gen.) saw my wireless network but did not accept my password (gave a network error message). It fixed instantly doing this:
Made a note of the Apple TV's MAC address. Get it by pressing Menu on the remote, then Settings > General > About. It's called "WiFi address."
Use your browser on a network connected computer to go to your router settings (usually 192.168.1.1).
Under "Wireless > Wireless MAC Filter" (or something similar) do these steps:
Enable Wireless MAC filter
Enable "Permit PCs listed below to access the wireless network"
Enter the Apple TV's MAC address
Click "Save Setting"
When I did this the network connection immediately started working.
Note: These instructions are based on a Cisco Wireless-N Broadband, model WRT160Nv2, firmware v2.0.02.

Non domain-joined Clients (CES/CEP)

Hello Everyone!
This is my first post to the security forum and it is not an overly familiar tech for me so please be gentle. :)
I am looking at building a lab to test a web based application for a client. The client has very stringent security requirements and as such have mandated the need for both the web server to be secured using SSL certs and requires the connecting
users to have a certificate. The infrastructure will be hosted in a central DC in it's own AD forest whilst the users connecting in will have their own AD as they work for different companies. Each user will have an AD account within the hosted
environment. My initial thought was to provide public certs for the web servers but my problem was providing certificates to the clients. Clearly using public certs would be very expensive. After a bit of research I stumbled across the following:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2010/05/25/enabling-cep-and-ces-for-enrolling-non-domain-joined-computers-for-certificates.aspx
What I am trying to understand is, will the combination of Certificate services & CES/CEP effectively do away with the need for public certs in this instance? Can I simply use the internal authority to publish certificates to the web server and
to the end users?

Yes - I think this is one of the scenarios CES/CEP have been developed for.
End users would have to trust your internal CA and validate the chain, so intermediate CAs should be found via AIA URLs. But since you need user - not computer - certificates this is simpler than described in the article as users do not need to be local
admins to import a root. (But on principle the admin of a user's home AD could restrict this though I have never encountered that.)
You would need to publish the CES/CEP services via a reverse proxy and external users would have to configure the enrollment HTTP URLs and enter their AD credentials in the hosted AD when connecting.
As users have imported your CA certificate they will also trust the web server's certificate issued from the same CA.

Connected to Acess Point but cannot connect to the Internet - WRT54G

Yes, regrettably I know this is a common problem, but I've spent hours researching adn chatting with Linksys and trying different things, and I can't get anywhere. I have no problems getting on the Internet at the "base computer". Said base computer is on Windows XP. The computer that I am trying to connect to wirelessly is on Windows 2000. As my title suggests, it detects the router, but can't connect to the Internet. I'm using a WUSB54GC there. Ok, on the Base computer, I have disabled the firewall. My IP config reads as follows:
Ethernet Adapter LAN Connection:
IP Address 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gway 192.168.1.1
PPP Adapter (for my ISP)
IP Address 213.178.113.182
Subnet      255.255.255.255
Default Gway   213.178.113.182
TCP/IP from control panel, LAN Settings (Static)
        Exactly as above on the Ethernet Adapter
DNS Server Addresses
        Preferred            192.168.1.100
       Alternate                      4.2.2.2
However, when I go into Internet Options/Tools/Connections/LAN Settings, the “Automatically detect settings” box is checked off. Is this a problem? Proxy server is not checked. ISP settings have nothing checked off except our username and password
COMPUTER TRYING TO ACCESS NETWORK (running on Windows 2000)
        IP Config Readings for the Ethernet Adapter:
                 IP Address 0.0.0.0
                      Subnet       0.0.0.0
(this is strange because earlier I was obtaining digits)
     TCP/IP, LAN Connection, Static
             IP             192.168.1.10
               Sub       255.255.255.0
                 Default            192.168.1.1
                Preferred          192.168.1.1
                Alt                     4.2.2.2 Any hints? Thanks very much

Disconnect the PPP Adapter from Network Connections...
You should do the steps mentioned earlier, in addition you should remove all static ip addresses entered and then check the IP Address obtained automatically from your router, if you get a valid ip address you should try to ping 4.2.2.2, type ping 4.2.2.2 and press Enter, see if you get 4 replies from 4.2.2.2...
Then type ping yahoo.com and see if it gives you 4 replies...If you get replies from all pings you should be able to go online...
You should adjust your browser settings if you get replies and there is no internet...
Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...

NB200 Can connect to wireless networks, but cannot connect to the internet

I have been able to connect my Win XP netbook to my secure wireless network at home, other people's networks and public networks like the library and McDonalds. This week I'm away from home and discovered that while I can still connect to a number of different wireless networks, I cannot connect to the internet using Internet Explorer.
I've had this problem once before and fixed it by reinstalling Windows XP and all my other software. I have no idea why it has happened again. I'm hoping for a less drastic solution to the problem..?

Hi Nakia,
> I cannot connect to the internet using Internet Explorer.
Have you tested other browsers like Mozilla Firefox and does this work?
As MasterG wrote try to renew the IP address using the commend line.
Last week I had a similar problem and I could solve it by updating the WLAN driver. Just remove the driver, restart the notebook and install the newest one. :)

HT1595 Apple tv will connect to the network but cannot connect to the Internet

My apple tv is connecting to my network but it says it cannot connect to the Internet. I've already tried restarting everything and I've also connected it to my portable mifi network with same results. Anybody have any ideas?

This is what the MAC address clone looks like:
Should I enable it? If so, should I put something in the MAC Address? What? I was able to connect it thru my MiFi, but not my home network. Until today, it's been connected to my home network for about 8 months with no problem. Haven't used it for a while...not since I got a new router.

Windows 2012 R2 ADRMS domain controller version and Non-domain-joined Mac Client with outlook 2011

Hi,
What is the AD version for Windows 2012R2 ADRMS? Is it possible to have Windows 2003 R2 DC with Windows 2012R2 ADRMS?
Any installation guide Non-domain-joined Mac Client with outlook 2011?
What is the SQL version for Windows 2012R2 ADRMS?
Please advise. Thanks.
Kelvin Teang

Hi Kelvin -
There is no RMS Client for Macs. That functionality is actually provided through the Office for Mac application (this is different compared to the PC). Domain-joined clients will autodiscover the RMS server and should be able to create and consume
protected content. Non-domain-joined clients cannot automatically discover their RMS server. In this scenario, prepare a protected document or email from a domain-joined machine and send it to your non-domain-joined users. They will open
the document or email up and the URLs contained in the publishing license of the document will direct them to the correct RMS server.
I hope that helps!

TS1398 i have a good signal on my ipad wi fi but cannot connect to the network

I have a good wi fi connection on my ipad but cannot connect to the network

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Problems connecting a non-domain joined outlook to exchange

Hello,
i'm having issues configuring outlook (be it 2007, 2010 or 2013 all fail the same) on non-domain joined computers in the LAN to a exchange 2013 server.
I select manual config, in server we put "mail.domain.local" and user "domain\user" and it bounces with "cannot complete action, the connection to exchange is not available, outlook must be online".
We tried with external full email address, nothing
tried setting the outlook anywhere proxy, same, tried using ip address, same
it simply refuses to configure.
any ideaS?

Hi,
Generally, the external non-domain joined computers can connect to Exchange 2013 by using Outlook Anywhere and the Autodiscover service to auto-setup the Exchange account.
If the auto-setup for Exchange account fails, please check the Autodiscover service and Outlook Anywhere configuration by the following command:
Get-OutlookAnywhere | FL
Directly access the following URL in IE respectively, and check whether an Error 600 returns:
Https://autodiscover.domain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
Https://mail.domain.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
Please make sure the the ExternalHostName parameter for Outlook Anywhere is configured to your external namespace for Exchange 2013 (for example: mail.domain.com).
In Exchange certificate, please make sure the namespace mail.domain.com is included in your trusted certificate which is assigned with IIS service.
For manual Exchange account setup, please run the following command to get the mailbox GUID for server name configuration:
Get-Mailbox UserA | FL Identity,ExchangeGuid
Then go to Control Pane > Mail to configure the Outlook profile. In Server Settings, import the [email protected] into the Server box and click Check Name to have a try.

Install AADSync on a Workgroup server (non-domain joined)

Does anyone has experiences with installing AADSync on a non-domain joined server (workgroup). A company with multiple forests wants to have a "neutral" server for the identity synchronisation. It looks like the tool is installing fine, but can
there be some configuration issues?

This is supported. See here:
"Your computer can be stand-alone, a member server or a domain controller. "

DNS working intermittently for non-domain joined machines

I have a small single Server 2012 based network, with about 90% windows clients. DNS is running on the Windows Server 2008 machine, but DHCP is provided via a unix based firewall machine. Within the DNS configuration I have all of my windows
clients (mostly Windows 8.x clients, but there are a few Windows 7 ones as well) and a few *nix ones as well. All of the Windows clients are domain joined, except for one machine which is currently running Windows 10 preview, though it was a Windows
7 machine originally. In the DNS configuration I have a number of statically entered A records, used to give my *nix machines a name on the local network.
When trying to access systems by name (via ping or by other services), there is a very consistent behavior - my domain joined machines are able to resolve all names 100% of the time without any issues. However, the non-domain joined machines, both
Windows and not, are consistently inconsistent. To be more precise, when I try to resolve a name it will randomly work and randomly not. IP setup and configuration looks correct, meaning they have valid IP, DNS is set to my Windows Server,
default gateway, etc. are all correct. Pinging external machines (ie google.com, etc.) works 100% of the time, but trying to ping any internal machine is a total crap shoot. The only exception to this is the Windows Server 2012 machine itself,
which always works.
From past experience I know that the moment I join a machine to the domain all of the DNS issues goes away, which is fine for the Windows boxes but not so much for the rest. I also have visitors occasionally come by, who I cannot expect to join my
domain just to make things work normally.
This network originally started life out as Windows Server 2003 domain, but was upgraded to 2012 about two months ago. I have been seeing this problem for years, but have always assumed it to be a Server 2003 issue and figured it would go away when
I upgraded. Nope...
Any ideas as to the cause of this and what I can do about it?
Thanks,
peter

Its really weird - I can ping an address and not have it work, then do a NSLookup of the same address against my DNS server and it resolves just fine. Take a look at this screen copy below:

Non Domain User Access to Report Server

HI Team,
I am Back with another question. These days i am working on SSRS web services as a part of that i need to provide user access to non domain users to the report manager which is residing in a virtual machine and also when i use the report service web service
URL it is asking for virtual machine's windows credentials and as per my client's requirement i should not be prompted with VM'S windows credentials.
Also, we are providing end users with a login page and this login page is connected to a separate User's database in the VM and how to register these non domain users in the report server database
and also reort manager. please help me out of this issue.
Thank you.

Hi NB515,
In Reporting Services, if we connect to Report Manager out of domain, then we need provide a domain username and password can we access to it. If you want to skip this step, you can configure anonymous access for the report server. However,anonymous access
is not recommended as it may give direct access to your report server or report projects to any one who know the URL of your Reporting Services. But in case you still want to try it, you can refer to the link below to see it:
http://blog.quasarinc.com/ssrs/sql-server-reporting-services-2012-anonymous-access/
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Create a certificate for non domain-joined PCs

We have a standard AD domain wit a CA and SharePoint/Exchange servers, hosted internally and externally with TMG 2010 as our firewall. For the external hosting, we have an external certificate from one of the main certificate providers. Internally, our domain-joined
PCs look to the CA to get their trusted certificate from.
This is the issue I am encountering:
Our external users (the ones whose PC is not joined to our domain) are fine when they access our SharePoint and Exchange services externally.
However, when they are connected via VPN, they receive a certificate error and when I look in Certificate > Certification path, I can see that it says:
"DOMAIN NAME" Issuing CA1 > "NAME OF SHAREPOINT WEBSITE".
When such a PC connects to the same website when NOT connected via VPN to the domain, they receive:
"DOMAIN NAME" Root CA > "DOMAIN NAME" Issuing CA1 > "NAME OF SHAREPOINT WEBSITE".
How can I create a certificate for these non-domain joined PCs so that I can import the certificate in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store? Thank you!

It sounds like the question you are really asking is :
How do I designate the internal root CA as a trusted root CA
Run certutil -addstore root RootCert.crt (this must be run from an administrative command prompt)
This designates the root CA as a trusted root on the client. You also may want to install the intermediate cert to the store (you are not clear on what VPN product you are using, so it may or may not do proper chain building).
Run Certutil -addstore CA IssuingCA.crt

Licensing for non domain joined machines

Good Day
would additional licensing be required to manage non domain joined machines or would this be covered by the current EA. can someone explain how licensing for the management of non domain machines would work?
thanks
daniel

Hi,
There is no difference if you don't want to license them differently and if that is possibly in you agreement, so you should contact you MS License reseller.
You could buy a System Center Configuration Manager CAL if you want to manage it, that will only cover ConfigMgr and not Endpoint protection for instance. So you should really contact your reseller and see what is the most optimal solution for you company/organisation.
