RAC on windows 2000 with domain controller

Guys,
I need advise on the following implementation.
We have 2 IBM Xseries 365 Servers , 1 FastT600 Storage Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Oracle 9i, Oracle RAC
We have plan of integrating 2 servers in Windows 2000 Cluster, one server would act as Domain Controller and second will act as Additional Domain Controller in the MS Cluster. We would be installing Oracle 9i Enterprise s/w on each one of these server's internal disks and datafiles on shared storage ( FastT600 ).. We would need to install Oracle RAC as well. As per Oracle recommandation, the cluster nodes shouldn't act as Domain controller. We didn't find any logical and techinical answer for this recommandation. Can anyone guide me as why is it so? and any issue may arise if we don't have separate doamin controller?
Is it really required to have separate Domain controller ?
Early replies would be appretiated..
Thanks & Regards,
Sam

Hello hanspjacobsen,
1. According to the subjects System Requrements - Windows 2008 R2 Domain Controllers do support
Windows 8.1/2012 R2 admx deployment with some limitations regarding down-level server version of course. So yes - you can download and use it. Doubtfully the GPO presence in AD could
harm Exchange in any way.
2. With the course of updates for Exchange 2010 and Windows Server - I'm pretty sure we can expect Exchange 2010 supporting W2012 R2 DCs with close upcoming updates. So the full interoperability for those two is just a matter of little time.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2: Server unable to authenticate with Domain Controller

    Hello, I was wondering what could be the reason for this error if it is certain that there was no other computer on the network using the same name:
    This computer could not authenticate with<Domain-controller>, a Windows domain controller for domain <Domain-name>, and therefore this computer might deny logon requests. This
    inability to authenticate might be caused by another computer on the same network using the same name or the password for this computer account is not recognized. 
    What would cause the machine account pw to be 'not recognized'?

    You can track changes in AD by enabling AD Auditing: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731764%28v=ws.10%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
    As reading the logs is usually a complicated and time consuming task, it is recommended to use a third party tool for auditing. The one I usually recommend is Lepide Auditor - Active Directory: http://www.lepide.com/lepideauditor/active-directory.html

  • 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.

    I suspected some issue with AV so uninstalled. 
    To resolve the Access Denied I followed these steps: 
    stop w32time
    w32tm /unregister
    reboot
    regsvr32 /u w32time.dll
    w32tm /register
    sc query w32time -- you should see that the service is set to
    shared mode -- this is presumably how it should be -- if you try to start right now, you'll get the expected 1290 SID-related error
    reboot
    w32time should now automatically start at boot up and be running -- that was my result -- it's running as shared, started on its own, and I can do the w32tm /query commands successfully
    After rebooting the time service started. 
    I then repeated the steps: 
    net stop w32time
    w32tm /config /syncfromflags:manual /manualpeerlist:"0.pool.ntp.org, 1.pool.ntp.org, 2.pool.ntp.org"
    w32tm /config /reliable:yes
    net start w32time
    w32tm /query /configuration 
    And all worked. I'll wait a short while to see if this fixes the issue. I also have am SA case with MS so will confirm fix when resolved.

  • Script for synchronizing the clock with Domain Controller

    Hi Everyone,
    In our environment, we have Mac machines which are joined to window's domain. Once in while machine will not log on to domain because the OS clock had a different time than the domain controller and sooner you fix the clock, machine will start communicating with domain controller.
    I was wondering if there is an easier way to do this using script which can run every few hours to force the OS clock to synchronize with the domain controller.
    Thanks,

    You don't need an Applescript to do that.
    Enable the NTP server on the Windows Domain Controller (perhaps start here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773013.aspx).
    Then setup the Macs to use NTP (Network Time) to sync to the domain controller.

  • 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?

    Exemple:
    domain name domain1.com
    and User Logon Name (pre-Windows 2000) Domain2\user

    If you have trust in place, then also you can use trusted domain name to login from trustee domain. Also, UPN suffix can be added.

  • Compatibility of windows xp with labview and windows 2000 with labview

    I have a very weird situation that I am not sure even I can decribe it clearly. The thing is we have two set of equipments. One: windows 2000 with DAQ card, PCI card, the other is windows xp with same DAQ card and PCI card. All the labview software are the same version. All the program are the same. But the program on windows xp has a really weird problem. Sometimes, the signal is wiped out when I run the program and sometimes it doesn't. I am curious whether the two windows system have different order sequency. Is it clear? I am really sorry about the description since the problem is really strange. Thank you very much!

    With more research, I think I probably find the problem but I don't know how to fix it. Here is how the program work. In Calibrate LC.vi, there are four buttons of "set". When you hit set button, the program will aquire 10 data points which will form the signal we need. But the problem is when I hit set button, no signal at all.So I am thinking the program didn't aquire any data in. I uploaded the Calibrate LC vi and also the Aquire Data vi. Does anyone can give a suggestion how on to fix the problem? Also, I double checked the PCI card. The interrupt request for PCI 6036E in windows2000 computer is 19, that in windows xp computer is 21. Will this be a problem too? Thanks!

  • How to reset Windows 2008 R2 Domain Controller "Administrator" password?

    Hello Everyone,
    I have lost Administrator password for the following system:
    Windows 2008 R2
    Domain Controller setup on same machine
    Stand alone server - no workstations or other servers invovled
    I still have the "Directory Service Restore Password" but I don't think that helps me for lost Administrator password. I beleive I need to boot from an .iso file to gain access. I already tried "Offline NT Password & Registery Editor" and it has set
    Administrator password to (blank) but that is not allowing me access as it seems that I have to login to domain controller Administrator. So, how can I reset that password?
    Thanks

    It wasn't difficult to reset the domain password and I think Microsoft's policy of not providing an easy forward way is to create an
    illusion of security which is not there. Linux systems that are much more secure that MSFT software allow easy password reset when physical access is there so why not include the same tools in System Repair tools or using F8?
    Anyhow, this guide helped me reset the password in 5 minutes. Read the bottom of it to find the scripted / automatic version of the process:

  • ACS 4.1 support with Windows Server 2012 Domain controller

    I am upgrading my Domain Controller / Active Directory from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012.
    In my environment, I am using Cisco ACS 4.1 which is integrated with Windows Server 2003 Active Directory.
    Will ACS4.1 will work fine with my new domain controller (Windows server 2012) or I need to upgrade my ACS too?
    Regards,
    Junaid

    Junaid,
    ACS 4.x code doesn't even support Windows 2008 R2. Your best bet is to migrate the ACS from 4.x to ACS 5.4 Patch 2 or stay with windows 2003 or 2008 (Non-R2).
    ACS 5.4 patch 2 supports Windows 2012 AD.

    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)

    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.

  • Error when installing RAC on windows 2000

    Hi,
    I'm installing Oracle 9i(9.0.1.1.1 EE) RAC for the first time. It has been an interesting experience,
    with many bumps in the road. But now I'm stuck.
    I have installed the 9i EE software, but when I try to create a database ( using DBCA), I get an error :
    PRKR-1005 : adding of cluster database cludb configuration failed, PRKC-1018 : Error getting coordinator node
    The error occurs after I have finished configurating, and the actual database creation starts.
    I did get another error earlier : PRKR-1028 "raw device \\.\srvcfg is invalid, [HINT: initialize raw device by using
    'srvconfig' tool]
    That error disappeared after running srvconfig -init.
    I have restarted the Oracle GSD services on both machines, but I still get the same error.
    The OS is Windows 2000 Advanced Server, running on a Compaq Cluster.
    Br,
    Stefan
