Promoting server to domain

What are all the steps necessary to add an existing win 2012 r2 std server to a current windows server 2012 r2 std domain that consists of five servers spread across 3 sites. Domain and forest functionality all set to 2008.
This server isn't joined to domain yet and our plan is to dcpromo it once connect to new subnet.

The steps here may be helpful:

Cannot Promote Server 2012 R2 Server to DC??

I have a freshly installed Server 2012 R2 Core Edition with all of the latest updates as of today. I did the following:
- Changed name to DC6
- Joined it to the existing domain.
- Logged in as domain admin.
- Set fixed IP address & set DNS servers to other DNS servers already on the network.
I then installed the AD DC via Server Manager from my computer and that went through fine. I then logged into the server itself and ran the following command:
Install-ADDSDomainController via powershell and answer the commands as requested for the current domain and safe mode administrator password. I get the following error:
Verification of prerequisites for Active Directory preparation failed. The specified user does not have SESecurityPrivilegeEnabled.
I ensured that domain admins (I'm logged in as a domain admin) are in the local admin group and that hasn't helped. NOTE: I haven't had any problems adding domain controllers in the past, only with this Server 2012 R2 version. I'm currently
running Server 2008 R2 DC's at the 2008 forest level.
Anybody have any ideas?

I concur with GSS1 and Mike about the schema and that the account should in the Manage auditing and Security log policy. In addition, you may also want to see what the poster did in the following thread:

Upgrading windows server 2003 domain controller to windows server 2008

Hello friedns :
We have a company with about 2000 users , and two windows server 2003 domain controllers , one of them acts as a primary domain controller , and the other acts as secondary domain controller , all the FSMO s are on the primary DC ,we have decided to upgrade all of our servers from windows server 2003 to windows server 2008 , the first step is to upgrade the domain controllers to windows server 2008 , our domain controllers are so sensitive and has to be active 24 hours a day , i have stress upgrading it to windows server 2008 , what is the best solution to upgrade it with no risk ?
( i have an opinion but i am not sure and i dont have any guide about it , i want to install a windows server 2008 and promote it as an additional domain controller to the windows server 2003 DC and the transfer all the FSMOs to it , and then promote the first domain controller !!! is that possible ? if yes , is there any guide about it? )
If there is a guide available for it please let me know . (Specially if there is a tip & trick)
thank you guys.
Network is my LOVE

Hi,
This TechNet online article might be helpful for you.
How to Upgrade Domain Controllers to Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee522994(WS.10).aspx
For your convenience, I have list some general steps for your reference.
Since the following operation have potential damage to Active Directory database, it is highly suggested that you'd better perform a full backup of Active Directory (System State) firstly. Also it is better to test the following procedure in a similar lab environment first.
General Steps:
=============
1. Verify the new server's TCP/IP configuration has been pointed to the current DNS server.
2. Make the new server become a member server of the current Windows Server 2003 domain first.
3. Upgrade the Windows Server 2003 forest schema to Windows Server 2008 schema with the "adprep /forestprep" command on old server.
Please run the "adprep.exe /forestprep" command from the Windows Server 2008 installation disk on the schema master. To do this, insert the Windows Server 2008 installation disk, and then type the following command:
Drive:\sources\ADPREP\adprep.exe /forestprep
4. Upgrade the Windows 2003 domain schema with the "adprep /domainprep" command on old server.
Please run the "adprep.exe /domainprep" command from the Windows Server 2008 installation disk on the infrastructure master. To do this, insert the Windows Server 2008 installation disk, and then type the following command:
Drive:\sources\ADPREP \adprep.exe /domainprep
5. Insert Windows Server 2008 Installation Disc in the new server.
6. Run "dcpromo" on new server to promote it as an additional domain controller in existing Windows 2003 domain, afterwards you may verify the installation of Active Directory.
Please refer to:
How to Verify an Active Directory Installation in Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816106
7. Verify the new server's TCP/IP configuration has been pointed to current DNS server.
8. Enable Global Catalog on new server and manually Check Replication Topology and afterwards manually trigger replication (Replicate Now) to synchronize Active Directory database between 2 replicas.
Please note: It will some time to replicate GC between DC, please wait some time with patience.
9. Disable Global Catalog on the old DC.
10. Transfer all the FSMO roles from the old DC to the new DC.
Please refer to:
How to view and transfer FSMO roles in Windows Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324801
11. Verify that the old DNS Server Zone type is Active Directory-Integrated. If not, please refer to:
How To: Convert DNS Primary Server to Active Directory Integrated
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816101
Note: Active Directory Integrated-Zone is available only if DNS server is a domain controller.
12. Install DNS component on new server and configure it as a new DNS Server (Active Directory Integrated-Zone is preferred). All the DNS configuration should be replicated to the new DNS server with Active Directory Replication.
13. Make all the clients change TCP/IP configuration to point to new server as DNS.
14. You may configure TCP/IP on all the clients, or adjust DHCP scope settings to make them use the new DNS server.
Please note: It is a good practice to make the old DC offline for several days and check whether everything works normally with the new server online. If so, you may let the old DC online and run DCPROMO to demote it.
Hope it helps.

Wilson Jia

Renaming Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller with Exchange Server 2013

Is it possible to rename Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller, as we are using Exchange Server 2013 as a member server on Windows Server 2012 ?
We have some issues with the Domain Name, so want to rename..
Maybe somebody knows the best practices how to do this in best way???
Thanks.

Hello,
You should do the following:
1. Promote another DC.
2. Transfer FSMO roles to that server.
3. Decommission old DC.
4. Rename it.
5. Promote it again as DC.
Here is useful link:

Unable to bind MacBook Pro (running 10.6 - Snow Leopard ) to Windows Server 2003 domain

Hi there, I've been working on this problem for a few hours now (and a few hours last Thursday) and don't feel I'm getting anywhere, so I'm reaching out for help....
My organisation has just purchased a new MacBook Pro, running Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6) and as a Technical Support Engineer I have been asked to configure it for an end user.
I am currently trying to join it to our corporate domain, which is a Windows Server 2003 domain operating at the Windows Server 2003 Native domain functional level.
The MacBook is configured to use DHCP, and has been assigned valid IP address, DNS servers etc by the DHCP server. It can resolve all names on our network, including the names of our domain controllers. When I use nslookup to resolve the name of the domain "my_domain.local" it returns a list of DC's on the domain, which would indicate to me that name resolution is working perfectly. It is using our primary DNS server, 'Ponus' to resolve these names - Ponus is also the Domain Controller in this site.
To attempt to join the MacBook to the domain I have created a computer account for it on the domain, in the Computers container. I have gone into System/Library/Core Services and run the Directory Utility.
In the directory Utility I have ticked Active Directory and clicked on it to edit. The 'Forest' field is greyed out and set to 'Automatic', in the 'Domain' field I have entered my_domain.local, which is the FQDN of my domain. I click Bind and when prompted enter my Domain Admin username and password (in the 'Create Computer Account in:' field it displays correctly as CN=Computers,DC=my_domain,DC=local.)
When I click OK I get the message: Invalid domain. An invalid Domain and Forest combination was specified. You should enter a fully qualified DNS name for the domain and forest (e.g., ads.company.com).
I have attempted writing the domain as my_domain.local, my_domain.local., MY_DOMAIN.LOCAL and MY_DOMAIN.LOCAL. but I get the same error each time. I have checked and rechecked DNS is resolving OK, and cannot see why it cannot find the Domain and Forest from the FQDN that I am entering. Even so I tried creating records in the hosts file on the MacBook to point to the main Domain Controller at this site (Ponus) but this didn't change anything.
I have seen a few people report the same issue online but the responses tend to fizzle out before anyone gets to the bottom of it. I have seen some indication that people with an understore (_) in their domain name, or with a .local domain name may experience issues with joining Mac hosts, however these details are very vague and if true there must be a workaround.
If anyone could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it, I'm running out of time to complete this work and have run out of things to try.
I have an inkling that this is due to the Mac for some reason not reading the SRV records for the DCs and LDAP in DNS, or to do with the Mac looking only at one SRV record (ie. there is one for a new DC that we haven't deployed yet), not being able to reach this and giving up, but I'm clutching at straws really with my limited knowledge of the Macs process for joining the domain.
Many many thanks,

Hi there,
A simple suggestion , please make sure both MacBook Pro clock and the server clock are the same meaning the hour/Min/ sec both should match. A least difference of 3 seconds is fine.
I had faced this problem in many place and only solution was to match the time and it will bind immediatly.

Error (2931) VMM is unable to complete the request. The connection to the VMM agent on the virtualization server (host.domain.local) was lost.

Experts,
kindly advice for this error when create vm from a templates, while i'm not having this issue when create the vm to another host from the same templates,
firewall is disabled and no antivirus on the host.
The network and the ping is very stable, and the WS-Management service is running on the host,
Host : windows server 2012 R2
VMM : 2012 R2 3.2.7895.0
VMM updated from RU2 to RU5
Error (2931)
VMM is unable to complete the request. The connection to the VMM agent on the virtualization server (host.domain.local) was lost.
Unknown error (0x80338029)
Recommended Action
Ensure that the Windows Remote Management (WS-Management) service and the VMM agent are installed and running and that a firewall is not blocking HTTPS traffic.
This can also happen due to DNS issues. Try and see if the server (ms-lab-01.eccsolutions.local) is reachable over the network and can be looked up in DNS. You can ping the virtualization server from VMM management server and make sure that the
IP address returned matches the IP address locally obtained from the virtualization server.
If the error still persists, restart the virtualization server, and then try the operation again.

Ok I will try another template,
and the drop happen in the customization after deploying the VHDX file as my first image.
I had this answer from partner forum. but i didn't try it yet
Backup your VMM database and then check the
tbl_VMM_Lock table in the
VMM database to see if it has any locks listed, do this after stopping the System Center Virtual Machine Manager Service.
If there are locks listed in the tbl_VMM_Lock
table you can clear them by executing the prc_VMM_ReleaseAllLocks
stored procedure.

Moving from Novell Zenworks to Windows Server 2008 domain

I am trying to find ways to automate the process of moving between a Novell Zenworks environment to a server 2008 domain. The first problem to my understanding is changing the names of the machines to legal values in our Windows XP Pro Clients. They are currently mostly named, cata_rm#_computer# (where # is a defined value set manually). To my understanding underscore _ is an invalid character for joining a domain so we want to have an automated script that can easily be deployed over the network to basically replace all "_"with "-". Is this necessary or can this issue be handled easier ****her down the road on moving to a windows domain?
We would then like to be able to deliver a payload via zenworks that will cause all of Novell and Zenworks to be removed from the computer and once that is complete add the computer to the new windows domain. Ideally the payload could be easily run from a network share or flash drive as well. Unattended installers may be available for this software suite but we would want to combine the uninstall process with adding the domain so we can move from our poor zenworks domain to a windows domain without ever touching most of our machines.
This is not my project but I am interested in learning how this process could be completed as painlessly as possible hopefully learning something along the way. Anything from links to guides on where to get started looking to more developed solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

None the less the beginning of my problem, removing Novell is a Novell issue. Thankfully I have figured out most of the removal of novell and zenworks already, now just working on fixing the client names and joining the windows AD domain.

Server 2008 Domain Controller won't sync with domain for time

Hi,
I have a Windows Server 2008 Domain Controller, a physical machine. When I run w32tm /query /status it shows the source as: Local CMOS clock. What ever I seem to try I cannot get it to look at the PDC to sync for time. Using RsOP I can see the correct policy
is in place, pointing to the correct server. I have checked the registry key and the correct server is in there under \HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Paramaters.
I have tried various w32tm commands such as seeting the /manualpeerlist to the correct server, /syncfromflags:DOMHIER. I have also used w32tm /config /update, making sure to restart the w32time service.
But whatever I do I cannot get it to sync from the network, it always shows Local CMOS clock. The time on the server is starting to drift now. When I use w32tm /resync /rediscover I get an error message: "The computer did not resync because no time
data was available". There is no firewall between the 2 servers blocking port 123.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks

Can i rejoin ny SCVMM 2012 server to domain with same name & IP address?

Dear all..
I am in situation where i have to rejoin my scvmm server to domain with same name & ip address.one of the fool admin has deleted my SCVMM's computer object from AD. I have recreated the object & tried to log on but no luck.. i have to rejoin
the server.
Does it have any risks involved or its just fine?

Hi,
First the behavior is normal. If an computer accounts is deleted, you cannot continue using the server without rejoining.
SCVMM it's not depending (integration) on active directory in such way as Exchange.
So, if the computer accounts has been deleted, there is no issue in creating a new one and rejoin the server. As long as the application on the server is able to look up any required directory services, it should be happy again.

Upgrading Endeca Server data domains from 3.0 to 3.1

Please explain the instructions mentioned below (link for reference where it is mentioned):
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E40518_01/studio.310/studio_migration/toc.htm#Application%20data%20structure%20now%20uses%20data%20sets
When you upgrade Endeca Server data domains that were ingested using Integrator ETL, you will need to ingest the records into a single data set (referred to as a collection in Endeca Server and Integrator ETL) that has its key set to "Base". The display name can then be something to represent the actual content of the records.
Setting the data set key to "Base" allows any existing components that were tied to the Base view in 3.0 to be able to display the correct data.
What "key" we are referring here, is it collection key or view key. Also, which Integrator ETL version we are referring, is it 3.0.
I tried exporting the data domain from Endeca 3.0 and importing into Endeca 3.1 with default settings, it did not work.
Thanks in advance!

Correct.
Now, keep in mind that while this will get your data up to 3.1, it is very likely (assuming you have a production app) that you'll want to consider data model changes or other enhancements to take advantage of the new functionality.
Also, there are no more child data sources, so if your application used them, you'll want to consider separate datasets, not just a base dataset.

My domain add WWW will redirect to DNS server's Domain, IE works ok,What's the reason

I have a website, and I had added both @ and WWW A record on host. I set the domain as the home page, They all work ok in IE, WWW failed work in Firefox. What are the reasons?
//My domian is http://www.hey-deals.com, hey-deals.com works fine, but http://www.hey-deals.com cannot work in Firefox! It redirect to DNS server's domain, how to set?
Thanks!

I have Windows capability but have never used it. I can't imagine anyone using anything other than Pages for Word Processing, etc. I use Safari and Firefox for Browsing. I use Safari primarily and Firefox occassionally. I have not used Internet Explorer for years and years. In fact, I was sort of surprised when I learned that some people do still use Internet Explorer.
I wasn't sure whether or not there was an Ultra-Safe way to go about checking to discover whether or not Apple Users had to worry about a problem with this particular bug.
Although there IS a link provided in the Denver Post's on-line version of this particular news article, I hated to click on a strange link - even if it was provided by the local newspaper. It is just as easy for the local newspaper to be fooled by bogus links as it is for anyone else to be fooled.
My understanding from friends is that there are a whole lot of local newspapers - all across the country - who are currently running this news article - or an article very similar to it.
So it would seem to me that a whole lot of Apple users all across the country might suddenly be wondering whether or not they have anything to worry about - and whether or not there was an Ultra-Safe way for Apple users to check all of this out.
I contacted my service provider about this issue but, so far, have not heard anything back from them.
Thanks for the response.
Sincerely,
Hannah

Hardware Requirements for a Windows Server 2012 Domain Controller.

Hi,
I have a secondary office with 10 users with a domain controller that has reached its end of life. We like to upgrade the current hardware to serve as a domain controller and potentially as an onsite file server that will sync with head office during
off peak business hours.
Any recommendations for a low cost yet reliable hardware for the above solution ?

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
I think you need to meet the requirement for upgrading to windows server 2012r2.

I had the same issue during configuration (Bootstrap Domain Configuration stuck on 0%). Searched Oracle Metalink # 862174.1 (below) and did exactly same and worked like champ
+>>Installing Oracle Identity Management on DHCP Hosts+
If you plan to install Oracle Identity Management components on a DHCP server, you must ensure the Installer can resolve host names. This may require editing the /etc/hosts file on UNIX systems, and installing a loopback adapter on Windows systems. The following information provides general examples, you should alter these examples to make them specific to your environment.
On UNIX systems:
Configure the host to resolve host names to the loopback IP address by modifying the /etc/hosts file to contain the following entries. Replace the variables with the appropriate host and domain names:
+127.0.0.1 hostname.domainname hostname+
+127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost+
Confirm the host name resolves to the loopback IP address by executing the following command:
ping hostname.domainname

Procedure to migrate workgroup server to domain?

Hi, One of my satellite offices has been working with a server 2008 file server as a workgroup. The administrator has created local accounts on the server for all of the users.
We are about to embark on moving the fileserver to the domain, and then the user workstations. Is it possible to join the fileserver to the domain, and then create user accounts, apply appropriate ACLs, then move the workstations over to the
domain over a period of a week or two, and still allow workgroup users to access files, or will access to files be granted only to domain users?
If anyone can point me to some best practices for workgroup>domain migration, I'd love to do some reading.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
Workgroup users can access a domain-joined server with one of the following two options:
1. Set local user account and password which is the same as workgroup users (and passwords).
2. Share folders to Everyone, and including anonymous account in Everyone group (this is a group policy).
So basically you can join the server to domain.

Monitor time of name server ldap@domain?

our domain is 2003. fsmo roles on 2003 server. I have a san device reporting the error shown below. it looks like the time of the windows domain (computers and dcs) are in sync with the local time of the san. I had the support team for the san
manually sync the time with our domain. However, I still get these messages. I'm wondering how could I monitor this time?
Name server ldap@domain found a difference between its time (GMT: Fri Jan
2 07:48:53 2015) and local system time (GMT: Fri Jan 2 07:39:06 2015). The maximum allowed time difference is set to 300 seconds.
Name server CIFS@domain found a difference between its time (GMT: Fri Jan
2 05:35:13 2015) and local system time (GMT: Fri Jan 2 05:25:27 2015). The maximum allowed time difference is set to 300 seconds.
Name server krbtgt@domain found a difference between its time (GMT: Wed Dec 31 01:47:15 2014) and local system time (GMT: Wed Dec 31 01:38:11 2014). The maximum allowed time difference is set to 300 seconds.

I'm assuming it resyncs automatically. I read the help file on ntp sync but it doesn't say how often it resyncs.
After support manually synced the time, the error reoccurred less than 24 hours later.
Every time I check the time in the web interface and my workstation, they are the same. Hmm, I guess it could be syncing shortly before I come in. One thing i'm noticing is that these errors are not happening during business hours. The times
from day to day don't match up exactly but it seems 7p-11p would be a good time to look for errors.
I assume Mr X's explanation of time source is correct. However, I confused where they are getting these name server addresses from. I didn't enter them into the system. I don't see them in dns. I'm not 100 % sure which server the
san is contacting for this info.
I would recommend contacting your support to share the details about how your SAN time sync work and support you to solve the time sync issue on the SAN.
