Preparing virtual domain controller for cloning fails because DC not in cloneable domain controllers group

Hi I am running a virtulized server 2012R2 DC DC02TL.test.local in a lab environment. I want to clone the DC. I am following this tutorial.
http://blogs.technet.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-48-12-metablogapi/0020.clone3_5F00_49D67345.png
I put the DC into the Group of clonable Dcs but somehow the CMDLet
New-ADDCCloneConfigFile
does not seem to recognize that the DC is in that group and fails. I tried to reboot the DC, but no luck.

Replace WS2003 domain controller for WS2012 domain controller

Hi, I think that is a common problem but I haven't found anythink exactly like this, only something similar, but I have a lot of doubts yet.
The thing is that I have a network with two domain controllers:
WS2003 - 192.168.0.1, who is the first domain controller I created and is also a file sharing server
WS2008R2 - 192.168.0.8, who is a new domain controller I added one year ago.
Now, I want to replace the first one, keeping the second. One.
I thinking of removing the first one and replace it with a new machine (WS2012) with the same IP and name host. I need the same host because clients are pointing to it to get the shared files.
My main fear is that clients get some error related with trust relationship and I will have to rejoin them one by one to the domain.
As I have another domain controller, Will the global catalog of the new machine be synchronized automaticly with the WS2008R2 domain controller?
Do I need to demote the old domain controller before add the new one?
Thanks a lot

Hi Tomas,
As pointed by Burakm you should have an additional file server and should avoid using a Domain controller which has priviledged access, to share files. This puts you at a security risk.
Regarding the requirement of old host name:
Here is something that would let you keep a different servername and IP, yet allow your users to connect to the old hostname and access the share. Use CNAME records of old server to point it to the new hostname.

ACL migration Error : 1210 could not find a domain controller for domain "Test Domain" (Old Domain)

Hi
We are migrating from old domain to new domain. Before live migration, we are trying to check the ACE/ACL migration through SubInACL. We are running the SubInACL on a cluster, which is a member of the Old Domain (Test Domain). We are able to resolve and
ping both Old Domain and the New domain from this cluster machine. We have created a network share on this cluster, which is accessible to all Domain Users of the Old Domain. Both Domains have two way forest level trust. we are trying to migrate
the ACL of this share (\\ClusterMachine\testshare$) to the new domain using SubInACL. We are trying to run the below command to get it done.
subinacl /outputlog=C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Migrationlog.txt /subdirectories
\\ClusterMachine\testshare$\*.* /migratetodomain=OldDomain=NewDomain=mappingfile.txt
Mapping file contains : Domain Users=NewDomain_Users
But we are geeting the Error that "1210 could not find a domain controller for domain "Test Domain". Error finding domain name : 1210 the format of the specified computer name is invalid. Current Object "\\ClusterMachine\testshare$"
will not be processed."

Hello,
how in detail is DNS set up in each domain?
Any problems when using nslookup to verify?

Charm: No Domain Controller for SB5

Hi,
I configured Charm in solution Manager 4.0, created a satellite system SB5 in smsy and run the batch to get the info to charm. now i have it in /tmwflow/cmsconf but when i synchronize the project in solar_admin_project we get the error No Domain Controller for SB5.
The STMS is configured correctly in SB5
The RFC dests are OK also from SMSY i can see the dommain controller without any problem and distribution routes also.
Any advise
Thanks

Thanks Pascal,
I was able to fix the problen but adding a domain link between solution manager and satellite systems.

Connection for Source failed because the environment is not trusted

Good day all,
This is the second time I come across this error on two different forms.
This happens whenever I have a form connected to my database(SQL) and configured my ODBC.
My form is Reader Extended, when I load it outside LC Designer I get this error : "Connection for Source failed because the environment is not trusted".
I have searched for solution, one that I saw says one must change bindings from None to Normal, I've done that and didnt solve my problem.
Can someone please assist me.

In the below blog, Steve is mentioning to clone the connection to get rid of the issue.
You should be able to get around this by changing this line:

Pricing for VM running WS 2012 E R2 primarily as domain controller for ~5 clients

Hi
I am starting a small medical clinic, with only about 6 client PCs. However, I would like a domain network structure for security purposes moving forward rather than a workgroup.
I'm looking at either purchasing a modest server (ie HP Proliant ml310) with windows server 2012 essentials r2 and using it locally (total cost ~$1500) or using a Windows Azure virtual machine to run the domain controller over a VPN. We already use
office 365 e3, so don't really need a local server for email, storage etc. I already have an old synology NAS that could be used for disk images etc that we would lose out on with the hosted server solution.
Can someone verify my calculations for monthly cost estimate I tried using the calculator --1 small VM + 225 GB storage for the OS came to $65/month
Would I be able to run it on the small virtual machine or would I need to go up to medium just for the OS? If the later is the case it would definitely not be cost effective.
Thanks for the help
TM

AD account logging to a remote domain controller for authentication

Hi,
I have a weird issue with an AD account using a different logonserver when authenticating to AD. A domain admin account uses the local site domain controller but another account is using a remote domain controller as logonserver. I'm using both account
to logon to the same server (CRM 2011). But when I issue the command "set l' from the command line, they shows different logonserver value.
My issue is the crm account is pointing to a remote domain controller (windows 2012 R2) which I don't want and should use the local site domain controller (windows 2008 R2). The reason being is that the CRM server is on a test network (isolated) and
when we test an upgrade of CRM addon product called Experlogix, the upgrade requires to get authenticated by AD but it fails and I think the logonserver is the issue. When the crm account is used on the test server it points not to the local site domain controller
but to the remote dc which is not in the test server.
Thanks for your help!!!
AA

Start by checking that your are sites and subnets are well configured.
Use dssite.msc and make sure that:
You have AD sites that represent your physical sites
All the subnets in use are created and moved to the correct AD site
Your DCs belong to the correct AD site

Best pracices for setting up Domain controller for our remote European offices

Hi,,
We have about 17 remote site across Europe (HQ in UK), I want to start revoking the offices local DC's and host them in a couple of Cloud servers in Germany with local NAS boxes for file storage. I will have MPLS network between the offices to the Cloud
DC.
Now what would be the best practices and tips for this situation in respect to the DC's. How can I prioritize the remote offices to use the Cloud DC/DNS and not our DC at our HQ in the UK. Would it be better to have a sub-domain created (europe.company.co.uk)
for the other offices.
Any suggestions on this setup for the DC

Hiya,
on the conceptual level. The reason for having local DC's, is that if the local sites internet line is offline, people are still able to authenticate and access local resources. From that point of view, you might as well just run with your HQ DC's only. Note:
the cloud does offer availability on their services, that might not be matched by your HQ in terms of double internet lines.
That said.
The DNS server of the clients as well as the sites & services of Active Directory. Your clients will use the nearest domain controller available from sites and services information.

[Forum FAQ] How to sync time with a Domain Controller for a standalone server

As we all known, if a computer belongs to an Active Directory domain, it will sync the time automatically by using the Windows Time service that is available on Domain Controllers.
While a standalone server will synchronize with its local hardware time and Windows time server. (Figure 1)
Figure 1.
Under some circumstances, a standalone server is necessary in a product environment. We can sync the time of this standalone server with the Domain Controller using
the steps below:
1. Modified the value of the AnnounceFlags:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Config
Under this entry we can see the default value of AnnounceFlags is 10 (Decimal), we configure the value as 5 (Decimal). (Figure 2)
Figure 2.
2. Confirm the value of the registry key below is set to 0:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\TimeProviders\NtpServer
Figure 3.
3. Configure the standalone server to synchronize with a specific time source (Domain Controller).
In our test, we configured our Domain Controller (192.168.10.200) as the time source. Used the following commands:
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:192.168.10.200
4. Sync the time with the Domain Controller using the command below:
w32tm /config /update
From the figure below (Figure 4), you can see the after we did all the steps above, the time on the standalone server was synced with the Domain Controller.
Figure 4.
(Note: Peerlist is a separated list of DNS servers, or IP Addresses for the time servers)

Changing Domain Controller for Exchange 2013

Folks
I have an Exchange 2013 running on Server 2012.
Old DC on Server 2008.
I want to decommission the 2008 server. I have build a 2012 DC and for the life of can not work out how to change the DC that my exchange box uses????
Using Set-ADServerSettings cmdlet only seems to change the server for that current session?? reboot and back to the old DC...
When I use the Se-ExchangeServer cmdlet, I get domain controller cant be found. I have set the execution policy on the dc to unrestricted and still Domain controlleer cant be found..
New dc is a GC..
Any ideas would be good.
-graham

First, the behavior observed for the cmdlet Set-ADServerSettings is normal. The values for the domain controllers
designated are " per session". For example:
The PreferredServer parameter
specifies the FQDN of the domain controller to be used for this session.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298063(v=exchg.150).aspx
+++
What parameters, exactly, did you use for Set-ExchangeServer? What was the entire command?
If the domain controller(s) were found for "Set-ADServerSettings"
and... if Exchange is functioning OK in general, the domain controllers should be accessible.
+++
Are you in a position where you could shut down the older server (during off hours for example) and see if Exchange can
find - and use - the newer DC?
Will you only have one DC after decommission of the old one?

Question about adding Windows 2012 R2 Domain Controller, into a native Windows 2008 R2 single forest domain

I current have a two server domain, both Windows 2008 R2 and fully updated. The two servers are on subnet 10.0.1.0 /24
- Windows 2008 R2 Server A: 10.0.1.1 (DC, GC, FSMO, DNS)
- Windows 2008 R2 Server B: 10.0.1.2 (DC, GC)
AD Domain: COMPANY.LOCAL
I have a second connected subnet, 192.168.1.0 /24) which is routed to the 10.0.1.0/24 subnet and I would like to install a Windows 2012 R2 server onto a server on that subnet and make it a domain controller with AD-Integrated DNS and DHCP for the 192.168.1.0
/24 subnet.
- Windows 2012 R2 Server C: 192.168.1.1
What are the proper progression steps, in order to bring up the Windows 2012 R2 server and then add it to my COMPANY.LOCAL domain and then promote it do a DC/GC/AD-Integrated DNS server? Are they anything like the following:
1. Install Windows 2012 R2 server (Server C)
2. Point Windows 2012 R2 server DNS servers at Server's A and B
3. Perform AD prep to extend AD schema to support Windows 2012 R2 domain controllers
4. Promote Windows 2012 R2 server to domain controller (install local DNS service on Server C, during this step)
* Question: Will Windows automatically create a DNS zone for the Windows 2012 R2 subnet (192.168.1.0/24) AND also include the DNS zone from the previous Windows 2008 R2 domain (10.0.1.0 /24)? Or will I need to add the 10.0.1.0 /24 zone to the DNS
server on Server C, even though the DNS from the Windows 2008 R2 domain is AD integrated?

Hi,
Regarding the issue here, please take a look into below articles:
System Requirements and Installation Information for Windows Server 2012 R2

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/12370.step-by-step-guide-for-setting-up-a-windows-server-2012-domain-controller.aspx
As the server is promoted to a DC, DNS Zones will be replicated and synchronized to it automatically whenever the new one is added to an AD DS domain, bascially there is no special need to add zones, for more information, please see:

Bad news for "connection failed, wlan / wifi not f...

Sometime ago I wrote this in my blog: Conn. failed Wlan not found
And, like most of you who are now reading this post, I've spent hours trying to google a solution, totally without success. But at least, after so much reading and learning, I've come to a definite (and very teaching) conclusion: this issue is due to nothing less but a shameful bug in Symbian^3's DHCP client. There's no blaming the router's settings or characteristics, because with exactly the same routers and settings, most other phones can connect.
However, I always hoped that the Nokia crew were taking note of this bug and working on it, and I've spent months waiting for a fix in some of the firmware updates. I've done two updates since I got the phone (mine is a C7, but I believe it's a Symbian^3 "feature"), to no avail: disheartedly, both times I've seen that the bug remained there.
"Maybe in Symbian Belle?" I said to myself. "Of course. They can't be that blunt! The've got to fix it in Belle." So, yesterday I updated my C7 with the "leaked" Belle firmware and, you know what? Yes! They've been certainly working on the bug! This way:
So far, when trying to connect to some wireless routers we got the error message: "Conn. failed. Wlan not found". Now, after making us wait so much for Belle (and not yet officially released), there's no such message any more!
Oh, well, certainly we still can't connect to the router, but now the message reads: "Connection failed. Wi-fi netw. not found".
Nokia, this is un-be-lie-va-ble. I know you're reading this. Will you ever fix the mentioned problem in Symbian? It's no small bug, folks.

Hi Torben
Thank you for contacting Nokia Care customer support.
Since we wrote last I have got a lot more experience with the Belles situation in this area.
Recently suspicion fell on a bug in old saved data from the "Anna" that causes general network error.
To solve it, there must be a backup - but NOT the programs / settings, since they bear the error.
Subsequently, disconnect the phone from, select the Offline profile (Press and hold the cards on the off button and choose the one on this list)
"Ring" now * # 7370 # accept and enter the security code is 12345, if it asks for it.
Your security code if you have change it.
Set Time & Date and reviewing start-up menus.
Get immediately sent to the settings for data and multimedia.
Restart your phone and try now about the Internet is working properly.
Do they do it; you can safely restore contacts and whatever else you have in your backup.
I would personally appreciate it if you want to participate in a brief survey that will be about my response to you. Customer survey will receive a separate e-mail.
If there is anything I can do for you, then you're obviously more than welcome to contact me again.
Sincerely

Domain Controller SystemState backup failing on 3 servers

Hi,
I've been puzzling over this for a few weeks - getting a bit desperate now... Seen a few similar issues on the forums, but no definitive answer that works...
I have 3 2012R2 domain controllers - 2 are new, clean build, no AV installed, built in the last month and have latest updates installed.
Windows Server backup installed on all 3 and is failing with same error on all 3 when attempting to do a system state backup.
This is what I'm running from an elevated command prompt...
C:\Windows\system32>wbadmin start systemstatebackup -backuptarget:e:
Also fails exactly the same from the GUI.

operation once the issue is resolved.
Same error is present on all DC's, all 3 are failing on files in the winsxs folder - different files on each.
As per a previous article I read, on one of the servers I have re-applied permissions to the WinSxS folder, which didn't make any difference.
I cannot see any locks on the winsxs files using sys internals process explorer.
Interestingly though, system state backup did work before windows update applied huge amount of updates straight after the build.
At this point, I have no good backups of AD - I have run out of options - all assistance appreciated.
Thanks,
Charles.

OK, this is getting ridiculous.
Built another clean server from latest 2012 R2 iso... en_windows_server_2012_r2_with_update_x64_dvd_6052708.iso
