Problematic issues in installing backup domain controller on Virtual Machine

Hello,<o:p></o:p>
I have a physical domain controller - windows Server 2012 R2 Standard installed
in my domain environment and this is a first root domain controller.
I have also Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 installed and joined in that domain.
Now I want to install an additional (Backup) domain controller as a virtual
machine hosted on Hyper-V Server. So while promoting VM as a DC all actions and
steps go well but the problem arise when I press the install button at the end
of the promotion - installation gets stuck in the process of writing some
configuration files on first DC and also in the process of replication. Unfortunately
VM does not promote as a DC and it goes to restart.
The error event log with - NETLOGON source is logged on the virtual machine as
well.
Do you have some suggestions with this issue, or experience how to resolve this..
Thanks a lot in advance,
GMG

Now I want to install an additional (Backup) domain controller
There is no backup DC. All DCs are RW except RODCs.
I would recommend first checking the health status of the existing DC using
dcdiag command. Also, please check the IP settings in use: Please make sure that the existing DC has its primary IP address in use and that public DNS servers are set as forwarders and not in IP settings of the DC. For the new DC, please make sure
that it points to the existing DC as primary DNS server and once promoted you can see the recommendations here to update the configuration: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/18513.active-directory-replication-issues-basic-troubleshooting-steps-single-ad-domain-in-a-single-ad-forest.aspx
Please also disable temporary all security software in use on the DCs and make sure that needed ports for AD replication and authentication are not blocked or filtered between the DCs.

STMS Backup Domain Controller.

Hi,
I want to configure a backup domain controller in my SAP system. The current controller is on my Production (PRD). I would like to configure the backup controller on Development (DEV).
Currently, my OS is on AIX. The NFS is at Production for /usr/sap/trans.
My question is, if I have a hardware problem in PRD that also impact my NFS, the backup controller that was created would also be pointless? Please correct me if I am wrong.
Hope to get feedback.
Thanks in advance,
IAzir.

Hi,
I know individual /usr/sap/trans can be implemented in Windows but not in UNIX.
Unix uses NFS. I might be wrong. Have your tried it before?

Can't make a Backup Domain Controller

I have one Open Directory Master and three replicas. The Master is also set to be the Windows Primary Domain Controller. But none of the replicas can join the domain or join as the Backup Domain Controller.
When I search the logs on the Master, I see:
could not find new user/computer luca$ in passdb
luca (a replica) is in Workgroup Manager. I even added a Kerberos entry for it.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Solved my own problem...
Turns out that some users on the network took it upon themselves to join a Workgroup with the same name as our Domain. Samba doesn't seem to like that at all. So make sure your workgroup names are never the same as your domain names.

Installing cs4 in Windows 7 Virtual machine

Hello,
I am having problems with AE and windows 7 64 bit. Ram preview isn't working / crashing AE I wanted to do a clean install on XP using Windows virtual machine. I unserstand it sounds stupid, but all I am trying to do is sync some effects to a soundtrack and it's not working and I am on a deadline.
Has anyone installed these, I get an install error, Contact Adobe Support. not very helpful.
Thanks,.
David

Yeah, but what do you expect? It's weekend and your scenario really isn't something people do every day. I would even guess that it's more of an issue with memory and keyboard handling settings in the VM rather than a flaw in the Adobe program. In any case, what's so bad about just installing CS4 in W7 itself or installing the CS5 trial? If you're on a deadline, it's certainly better to have some way of working and worrying about any side effects later than waiting for a solution to fall out of the sky...

Issue in adding Space to the existing Virtual Machine from added repository

Hi,
I'm facing issue in adding Space to the existing Virtual Machine (Guest OS) from added repository.
Environment details :
VM Server : /OVS => 130GB
/OVS/935970F2CC2D4B4391701397517F1001/ => 512 GB
Things I have done :
•     I created a VM (Guest OS) in the VM Server with 120 GB
•     After creating the VM (Guest OS) , When I tried adding a VIRTUAL DISK of size 150 GB , I got an error “Maximum available Disk space is only 10GB”.
My query :
•     Will I be able to add space to Existing VM from the added Repository ( /OVS/935970F2CC2D4B4391701397517F1001/ ) , whose system.img is stored in path /OVS/running_pool/34_rhel/ .
Kindly help me out in this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I checked with Oracle on the above and got the info currently , the we can utilise only the space available in the existing repo and cannot extend to additional repo.
Work around is : Clone it to the other repo , or Use Symbolic link .
Thanks,
Sri.

How to Install Hyper-V on a Virtual Machine in Hyper-V on windows 2erver 2012 R2 ?

Hi ,
anybody know How to Install Hyper-V on a Virtual Machine in Hyper-V on windows 2erver 2012 R2 ?
I want to create lab but i couldn't I follow this article but the new VM is off
http://blogs.technet.com/b/gbanin/archive/2013/06/26/how-to-install-hyper-v-on-a-virtual-machine-in-hyper-v.aspx
one of hyper-v component is not running
thanks

Previously it has been blocked to install Windows Server in the VM and then add the Hyper-V Role.
However, it has always been possible to install Hyper-V Server inside a VM. (the free Hyper-V Server SKU)
The Hyper-V Server VM is fully manageable, but it cannot start any VMs.

I had creative cloud installed in a parallels deskto virtual machine on my mac, I delete the virtual machine without deactivate the creative cloud. after reinstall a new VM running windows 8.1. pro 64 bits, I downloaded the creative cloud installer but it does not install ang give an Error code 72, it is assuming that I already are using the Creative cloud in 2 computer, but itis no the case, how to solve this situation?

Dave: I did the Microsoft Update two days before this happened, and rebooted as required. I just created a new restore point and lauched Creative Cloud. Now I get the famous white screen:
It just sits and spins (been 10 minutes now).
Fortunately, I saved away this command (which I've had to use 4 or 5 times already):
del %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\opm.db
Unfortunately now, I get this (even after closing the above window):
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
So I killed everything that said "Adobe" in the task manager and this time, the command succeeded.
Fortunately, the current apps seem to still work. I can't seem to find the "Creative Cloud" app in the applications on my system, but I launched Photoshop CC, told it to look for updates, and got a list of the 5 prgorams that need updates in the Adobe Application manager:
I will proceed with the updates, holding my breath.

JCIFS NTLM - giving backup domain controller in web.xml

Hi All,
We are using JCIFS NTLM authentication, for which we've configured the filter in web.xml like this
... other code ...
<filter>
    <filter-name>NtlmHttpFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>jcifs.http.NtlmHttpFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>jcifs.http.domainController</param-name>
        <param-value>SERVER1</param-value>
    </init-param>
    ..... other code .....the above code specifies a single domain controller SERVER1 for the NTLM authentication. Suppose, I want to give one more server also (i.e. when the SERVER1 down, NTLM should check my backup server SERVER2), how do I give it in the above code? Is it like <param-value>SERVER1, SERVER 2</param-value> ?
Thanks in advance.

I am facing the same exact problem.
<filter>
          <filter-name>NtlmHttpFilter</filter-name>
          <filter-class>jcifs.http.NtlmHttpFilter</filter-class>
          <init-param>
               <param-name>jcifs.http.domainController</param-name>
               <param-value>corg0dc02</param-value>
          </init-param>
</filter>
    <filter-mapping>
         <filter-name>NtlmHttpFilter</filter-name>
         <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>
   Is it possible to use EL or equivalent instead of hard-coding the param-value? Is this allowed in the Servlet spec?
I would like to read the param-value from a properties file or DB table if possible.

Issue with VMware player - trying to install Windows 7 on a virtual machine

I'm currently using the basic version of VMware player (not the pro version)
I create a new virtual machine. VMware player automatically detects my Windows 7 bit installation disc
in my attached CD/DVD drive.
in the next screen, i select my operating system version and fill in my windows license key
then there is a progress bar with the title "creating disc" which takes about 10 minutes to complete
after installation, the virtual machine launches.
It says (white on black background)
Network boot from Intel E1000
PXE-E53: no boot filename recived
PXE-M0F Existing Intel PXE Rom.
Operating system not found.
on the bottom of the virtual machine window it says "easy install is installing Windows 7 64 bit",
however my CD/DVD drive is not spinning and there is no progress leaving this alone for 30 minutes.
I then rebooted the Virtual Machine and went into the bios to update the boot order
with the CDrom 1st, then the hard drive and then the network.
I still get the same errors.
I also tried the same process with my Windows Xp installation disc, same issues
Any advice would be appreciated

Jmattson, good idea I'll try the manual install. user "aka", I did check the bios, intel virtualization is enabled.

Can Hyper-V host join a domain of a virtual machine domain controller on that same host?

Learning about Failover Clustering with Hyper-V. I have two hyper-v nodes(servers). I want to add them to a failover cluster, but it said that the nodes must be in a domain to join failover cluster.
Can I create a domain controller role on a virtual machine hosted on that same node and join that node to the domain?
Can I just create a role on one of the two nodes along with hyper-v role and join the second node to the domain?

You can create
an AD VM and join the Hyper-V host to it in Server 2012 (or Hyper-V Server 2012, the preferred OS for running a Hyper-V Cluster). This did
not work in any previous version of Windows.
This would be a really horrible idea for a production environment, but suitable for a lab/training.
Also, you only need one host/node to form a cluster (though it probably throws errors/warnings if you do)

Problem installing SCE 2010 on a virtual machine

I'm having issues while installing SCE on a clean Hyper-V virtual machine running Windows 2008 R2.
I've tried several options:
- all-in-one from scratch, no SQL or serverroles/features installed -> error 1603
- seperate SQL and SCE Management Server -> Management server installation fails, error 1603
Different variations including and excluding reporting and VM Management with the same results.
I then went and tried to install tbe Management server on a physical box -> success!
However, I can't use this box for SCE and need to virtualize the whole thing.
I'll dig through the SCE setup log files to see where it goes wrong.
In the mean time, any ideas/suggestions anyone?
/edit
Below a snippet of the setup log. This is the part just before I get 'Return value 3':

Hi Guys,
I am having the exact same issue. I have verified all prerequisites and can find absolutely nothing I am doing wrong with regards to what is prescribed in the guides. I am also trying to install SCE 2010 on a Hyper-V guest on Windows Server 2008 64Bit. I
tried several times and troubleshooted my way through all the blogs. This is what I have done:
Re-imaged the server (twice),
Verified NetBios and FQDN is similar,
Opened all required ports first and also disabled firewall eventualy,
Using Domain Admin account,
Removed ISS and reinstalled(SCE still complaing IIS needs configuration),
Removed ISS again and let SCE setup fix prerequistes (SCE still complaining IIS needs configuration),
Also below please find my exact log... The sucess of my SCE 2010 installation is VERY KEY for us, but I believe for the product team as well. We are busy building an Enteorise Management Architecture in a hosted/multi-tennant environment and at this moment
our POC is a showstopper :(.

Setting up Time Sync when all domain controllers are virtual machines?

We have 2 existing server 2008 domain controllers on 2008 Hyper-V. We plan to set up a third domain controller in a new AD site at a remote site that will be Server 2012 R2 on 2012R2 Hyper-V.
PDC role DC is on one of the DCs in the original site.
How should time syncing be set?
From what I've read, all Hyper-V time synchronization between the virtual domain controllers and their Hyper-V host should be disabled.
So, do we set up the PDC virtual machine to sync to an external site source and then expect the other 3 domain controllers to automatically sync with the time of the PDC?
What happens with this process during a PDC reboot or if that PDC role domain controller becomes unavailable for any other reason? Does one of the other DCs then take over the role of domain time source even through they don't have access to the external
time source?
Should we also turn off Hyper-V time syncing for every Hyper-V guest that is a member of our domain (since they should also be getting their time from a domain controller) or only turn off the Hyper-V time sync for the domain controllers alone?

PDC role DC is on one of the DCs in the original site.

Simply make sure that time sync is disabled on your Hyper-V VM. For time configuration in AD domain, I have documented that here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/18573.time-synchronization-in-active-directory-forests.aspx
From what I've read, all Hyper-V time synchronization between the virtual domain controllers and their Hyper-V host should be disabled.
So, do we set up the PDC virtual machine to sync to an external site source and then expect the other 3 domain controllers to automatically sync with the time of the PDC?
They don't take over the role of PDC. The downtime of your PDC should not take a long time. That is why it is important to regularly monitor the health status of your DCs using SCOM or third party tools. The one I usually recommend is
Lepide Auditor - Active Directory: http://www.lepide.com/lepideauditor/active-directory.html. The solution allows you also to trackchanges
in your AD domain.
Should we also turn off Hyper-V time syncing for every Hyper-V guest that is a member of our domain
(since they should also be getting their time from a domain controller) or only turn off the Hyper-V time sync for the domain controllers alone?
I would recommend turning off the Hyper-V time sync on all your Hyper-V VMs that are domain-joined.

Can't install my printer on Windows virtual machine using Leopard OS

Have just installed Leopard and Parrallels software. I cannot install my HP C3180 printer on the virtual windows machine. USB plug and unplug are not recognized and suspect it is because the printer is in use on the Mac OS side. How can I get the same printer to be connected and usable in both MAC and Windows virtual machines?

I had exactly the same issue as you when I wanted to print from my iMac to a printer that was attached to a Windows 7 machine.
I found the solution at an Apple Support page, located at "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3049".
What really solved my problem was the introduction of the user PASSWORD in the address line, like this:
smb://user:password@workgroup/server/sharename
Read the Apple Support page I mentioned carefully to better understand what you will be doing.
I hope this helps you.
