Hi, Bo-Eddie
If you have set up the domain during 2012 Essentials Initial Configuration and want to rename the local domain, unfortunately so far it is not supported to rename without breaking other features and there is no easy workaround approach. The best way
might be re-setup an Essentials server.

One way trust relationship between different domain windows server 2012 in different forest

I'd like to build trust correctly between the domains A.local and B.int. A.local is on a Windows 2012 . B.int is on a Windows 2012 . Both machines are
connected to the same LAN. The forest level in A.local
machine is Windows Server 2008 and The forest level in B.int
is Windows server 2012.
I want a one-way trust relationship, i.e. users from A.local gain access to B.local.
my problem it i create the trust put when i go to validate the trust between A.Local and B.int give me this error :
The secure channel (SC) reset on Active Directory Domain Controller \\dc2.B.int of domain B.int to domain A.Local failed with error: There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.
NOTE : Recently I

Hello everyone
I have a problem to join computers to the domain.
Well I can not understand Spanish but I guess it is related to RPC. :D
In that case, you need to make sure your DNS entries are correct in clients NIC. Similar threads here:

Windows Server 2012 Essentails - Can I get an extended trial for 10 days or so (really need this)

Greetings all, I'm currently running a trial version of Windows Server 2012 Essentials, and am very happy with this so moved all pcs and laptops over, reason in doing so was going to go to the full version from this trial, but then I thought about trialing
out 2012 R2 Essentials and have been running this with no issues and would rather spend the money on buying this version.
I have 2 days left of the trial license for 2012 Essentials, is there anyway I can extend this for an extra 10 days or so to give me enough time to finish of building the other server ?
Thanks..

Thank you Klockwork, well that's not very helpful of Microsoft :-(
Not sure why though they did allow you to extend with Server 2008..
Anyway I'll
find away.
Thanks
Again.

Can't join clients to domain in Server 2012 R2 Datacenter

I have done the searching. I have installed 2012 Datacenter 64bit. No problem. I installed the Ad Ds role and elevated it to a domain controller. I installed DHCP and DNS roles. I now want to join a client computer to this new
domain in the server. (it's the only domain). However, nothing I try works. I get the message:
"An Active Directory Domain Controller (AD DC) for the domain "DGR.MINE" could not be contacted."
Ensure that the domain name is typed correctly.
If the name is correct, click Details for troubleshooting information"
Details:
The error was: "This operation returned because th teimout period expired." (error code 0x000005B4 ERROR_TIMEOUT)
The DNS servers used by this computer for name resolution are not responding. This computer is configured to use DNS servers with the following IP addresses; 192.168.1.200
Verify that this computer is connected to the network, that these are the correct DNS server IP addresses, and that at least one of the DNS servers is running.
In my 2012 Server the DNS address is set to 192.168.1.200
In my client computer the DNS address is set to 192.168.1.200
The server and the client are both connected to a simple switch, so I'm using straight through Ethernet cables. I've tried crossover for client to server connections also, but no luck there either.
This should be a simple process. Can someone with patience give me a step-by-step on setting my server to a domain controller, DNS server, assigning the DNS address, and what else I need to do to allow a client to connect? Then can I get the
same wonderful help in connecting the client to the server? I wouldn't ask for such detail, but I'm needing to check to see where I messed up, if indeed I can find where.
Thanks very much.

Make sure that the machine you are trying to join to your new domain has access to the domain (can ping the IP address of the domain controller) and has set itself to point to the IP address of the domain controller
as its DNS server.
Hi, Tim
I can ping my domain controller, but not quite sure about how to set itself to point to the IP address of the domain controller as its DNS server. where do I do it? Thanks in advance.
my sql keep dropping out the domain for some reason, I cant see any domain user account and the location is not entire directory anymore on my sql server even the domain name appears there. so I decide to take it off domain officially and rejoin later, but
failed to rejoin and gives me an error msg just like that.

Adding a domain controller to an existing Domain inside server 2012

I have created a domain contoso.com with an administrator account.Then i moved to 2nd server which i want to add in this existing domain.Being logged in at the 2nd server with administrator account, i added the role of ADDS and then i tried to promote
this to DC.While do so, i selected the option "Add a domain controller to existing domain".When i finally recah this the Installation wizard , it shows like "creating NDTS settings objects fo this ADDS on remote ADDC(domain name)..........This
page remains in progress for ages and process never finishes.
When i check at the first(main domain) , there is no NDTS object for the added DC although i can see the server but nothing inside it.NDTS object should be there.Y
1) NDTS object is not created ?
2) The process is taking hours?
Both can ping each other
Regards,
Fawad

1. IP of DNS setting on second server points to first DC.
2. Add second computer to domain. Make sure that second server is part of AD (member).
3. Add role ADDS on second server that is member of AD.
In summary: You should add second server to domain first before promoting it to DC role.

Why can the users in one child domain logon to computers in a different child domain in Server 2012 R2?

I have setup a test system. It has a domain with 2 child domains. DomainA.xyz.com has users and workstations. DomainB.xyz.com is a resource domain and has servers. wyx.com is for IT administration.
Users in domainA can logon to the domainB computers. I searched to find out why it was so. I found a "NT AUTHORITY\INTERACTIVE" entry in the local users group that enables this.
This is rather confusing. 1. When a user enters his credentials, he is not logged on and therefore would not be "INTERACTIVE" at that time. 2. If everybody that signs on a computer is interactive, then does that mean
everyone in the forest can sign on?
So my issue is: Can I delete the "INTERACTIVE" entry in the local users group and not cause any problems? I want to protect the resource domain from users signing on to them and give them access to the resources they need.

Hi,
The Interactive group includes all users that have logged on locally.
In addition, it is not recommended to remove the
interactive group from the local user group since it would cause all kinds of problems. For more detailed information, please refer to the similar thread and link below:

New server 2012 - some NT4 /98/W2K clients

Hi,
Have a bit of a challenge here.... I have a scenario were we are running a full 2003 AD with 2003R2 DC and a couple of virtual servers...
Time has come to move forward and upgrade to 2012 seems like the only option using Hyper-V. The particular scenario has a big challenge: more than 50 machines with legacy machines running from NT4, Windows 98, Windows 2000 pro...
Getting rid of these machines is just not an option. They will have to dump data to shared folders with lots of security permissions configured.
Will NT4 be able to authenticate to 2012 DC (I would be very surprised)? If not,
Should I create a new domain and leave the machines authenticating on the old domain.
Would a trust work 2003 <--> 2012?
If a trust works, What would be the minimum AD level on the 2012 server?
The challenge is really to have a modern infrastructure running Hyper-V for the more modern clients, but, at the same time, to keep those really old machines running...
Thanks for sharing your ideas on this!

Hi
This is tricky, for sure you will not have definite answer, and for sure you will encounter some problems, i know this from same case but with server 2008 dc, i recommend that you set up lab and test it thoroughly.
Getting rid of these machines is just not an option?
Why, maybe this is the easiest and best way to go. Probably someone should have done it long ago
Yes you can create a new domain and leave the machines authenticating on the old domain, but that i think will just prolong inevitable, saying bye to the old os's.
Yes you can create trust between server 2003 domain and server 2012 domain

Windows Server 2012 requires a Windows Server 2003 forest functional level

And at last you can't have modern infrastructure and at the same time have those really old machines running... :)

New Server 2012 -- Network Location Awareness & Power Failure

Could you try setting up a dependency or delay on the boot? This would be more of a temporary solution, but should help you confirm that the only issue was with communication with the DC.

Hello everyone,This is kind of a mixed question of AD/Domain/GPO, Server 2012 R2 Standard, Windows 7 clients, and File Sharing.. please bare with me.We had an interesting event this morning..We have a 2012 R2 STD member file server on the domain. We had a total power failure, and I believe the file server came up faster than any domain controller. Anyhow, we couldn't access the shares on the server. Upon further investigation, I saw that the network location on the file server was 'unknown' and decided to restart the server. After that, it went back to its domain profile.Are there any known solutions to this scenario? Can I force the server to use the domain profile at all times? I've briefly read about the local GP edit trick, but haven't tried it out yet. Apparently, you can allow changes to adapter profiles, and then manually set...

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.

Server 2012 - Can't access external website from internal domain with same name. Tried everything.

Hello All.
I have read loads of forums and tried numerous fixes and configurations, but nothing seems to work and I am extremely frustrated at this point.
I have a client where I setup Server 2012 Standard with Exchange 2013. After reading best practice documentation for DNS naming and reasons not to use ".LOCAL" I opted to use ".com.na" in which case the Internal Domain Name and Internet
Website now has the same name.
When attempting to open the extarnal website eg. "www.company.com.na" from a client PC within the internal "company.com.na" Domain, I keep getting error "403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this
directory or page using the credentials that you supplied."
I should also mention, the website is hosted by an ISP and not locally.
I added a "www" Host record in the Forward Lookup Zone, I have added the url and ip address to the Hosts file on a client pc (Windows 7) and even tried setting up Split-Brains DNS. Nothing seems to work.
Running a Tracert takes me to the correct public ip address of the website, but I keep getting this 403 error.
I am so sick and tired of this issue that iI am at the point of backing up the Exchange and re-rolling the entire server with the ".local" DNS domain name. I have a mirror setup in a VMWare environment and simply using "rendom" to rename
the domain seems to cause new issues with Exchange connectivity.
Any pointers and help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I opted to use ".com.na" in which case the Internal Domain Name and Internet Website
now has the same name.
This ends up with a split-DNS stup for internal and external resolution which requires extra administration tasks and attention from the administrators.
When attempting to open the extarnal website eg. "www.company.com.na" from a client PC within the internal "company.com.na" Domain, I keep getting error "403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view
this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied."
I should also mention, the website is hosted by an ISP and not locally.
I added a "www" Host record in the Forward Lookup Zone, I have added the url and ip address to the Hosts file on a client pc (Windows 7) and even tried setting up Split-Brains DNS. Nothing seems to work.
Running a Tracert takes me to the correct public ip address of the website, but I keep getting this 403 error.
This means that you are able to reach the Website but it is responding with the access denied error message. That should be checked on the middleware level so if this is IIS running then I would recommend asking them in IIS forum: http://forums.iis.net/
If this is a Website that is completely managed by your ISP then I would recommend checking with them.

How can i use ONE server 2012 to be DC for a domain on the WAN only.. NO LAN. and NO VPN..

I need to run an active directory that is on a WAN (Utah). a server 2012 standard will be the DC with 60Mbps internet speed both up and downstream.
approximately 100 clients/member systems will be all over the united states. NO VPN. only via internet. I can use SSL certificate for secure ldap.
I need this setup to use GPO for different permissions and policies instead of manually doing those on each windows 7 or 8 professional system.
Ideas??

Daniel,
I think since this will be the ONLY system that will be running as a DC providing ADDS and the Direct access server, i should follow this advice from the article you sent:
For users who never connect directly to the Contoso intranet or through a VPN, they must use the DirectAccess
Offline Domain Join process to initially join the appropriate domain and configure DirectAccess. When this process
is complete, the users log on normally and have the same experience as if they were directly connected to the Contoso intranet.
Because remember, no user will ever connect directly to the subnet where the server is. so do an offline join First and then start managing.. Only thing im worried about is: they keep saying that the direct access function has significantly improved in windows
8. hmmmmm many systems will be using windows 7 Pro 64Bit. Some windows 8.1 Pro 64bit. should i worry?
