Running 2008 R2 DCs - Can we use ADFS from 2012 R2?

Do we have to upgrade our Active Directory DCs to 2012 R2 in order to use ADFS in 2012 R2?  2012R2 uses ADFS 3.0, right?  And that requires GMSA accounts to work in a farm if I understand it right.  Does 2008R2 support GMSAs?  I cannot
find anything on it and powershell commands do not work for creating GMSA accounts.  
Do I need to update all our DCs to 2012 R2 before doing ADFS in 2012 R2?  We currently do not use ADFS, and I'd like to stick with the latest and greatest if possible... 

Hi,
Yes, ADFS 3.0 needs to be installed on Windows Server 2012 R2, but you don’t need to upgrade all your DCs, you can upgrade one of them in order to use ADFS 3.0.
In addition, gMSA is a new object class after AD schema is extended for Windows Server 2012, which means you need to have at least one Windows 2012 Domain Controller and at least one Windows Server 2012 or Windows 8 domain member
to use the gMSA.
Here are some related links below I suggest you refer to:

  • Since installing OS X Mavericks photoshop runs so slow I can hardly use it....anyone else having this problem?

    since installing OS X Mavericks photoshop (CS6) runs so slow I can hardly use it.  Is anyone else having this problem?

    The post above is only partially true. There are many people that have install Mavericks over the top of a older version of OS X and haven't experiences any problem. Then of course there are others that have experiences many different problems.
    Do you have a Time Machine backup from before you installed Mavericks? If you do, and you should, you can restore your system from that TM backup and then do a clean install of Mavericks on either an external drive or a second partition on your internal drive then use the Setup assistant system to copy over your setting files and apps from your older OS X version. You can then TEST that clean Mavericks install for any compatibilty problem before you commit to it totally.

  • Can we use SQL Server 2012 Web Edition as a witness server in mirroring?

    Hi All,
    Can we use SQL Server 2012 Web Edition as a witness server in mirroring?
    Grateful to your time and support. Regards, Shiva

    Hi All,
    Can we use SQL Server 2012 Web Edition as a witness server in mirroring?
    Grateful to your time and support. Regards, Shiva
    As Per BOL
    We strongly recommend that the witness reside on a separate computer from the partners. Database mirroring partners are supported only by SQL Server 2005 Standard and later versions and by SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition and later versions.
    Witnesses, in contrast, are also supported by SQL Server 2005 Workgroup and later versions and by SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and later versions. Except during an upgrade from an earlier version of SQL Server, the server instances in a
    mirroring session must all be running the same version of SQL Server. For example, a SQL Server 2005 witness is supported when you are upgrading from a SQL Server 2005 mirroring configuration but cannot be added to an existing or new SQL Server 2008 or later
    mirroring configuration.
    A witness can run on any reliable computer system that supports any of these editions of SQL Server. However, we recommend that every server instance that is used as a witness correspond to the minimum configuration that is required for the SQL Server Standard
    version that you are running. For more information about these requirements

  • Can we use Result from another query in Webi using Bex uery universe?

    Hi,
    Can we use Result from another query filter option in Webi to create a report using a Bex Query universe?
    I need to create a report using two universes, one is Bex Query Universe and the other is Orcle universe. I have two queries, one is using Oracle universe; the other using Bex Query universe. I need to pass the Oracle data from the Oracle query to the Bex Query query to get the matched data from SAP Bex query.
    I used Result from another query in the query filter panel for the query using Bex query universe. But I got an error saying that 'A filter contains a wrong value. you cannot run this query. (Error: WIS 00007). The data used in the filter on both sides are the same. they are char.
    I have tested by using two queries from the same Bex query universe to see if the Result from another query filter option works. And I got the same error.
    Has anyone run into the same issue and if this is possible and what should be the solution?
    Thanks in advance!

    In that situation:
    Create two queries : Oracle and BW query.
    @ Report:
    As you have to see result set from both the Dataproviders, correct? To achieve thise one must have common dimension objects to merge them at report and use Objects those are coming from both queries to use them in single Table/Report.
    Unless you don't use Merge Dimensions, you don't get a chane to use both queries objects in single Table/Report. (It will give tooltip saying: You can't drop here -- Incompatable Objects)
    In case, if you don't have common dimensions, change object definitions to Detail objects, for those required.
    Hope it helps you.
    Thank You!!

  • Can i use applications from an external hard drive?

    Can i use applications from an external hard drive?

    Photoshop itself needs to reside inside of it's Applications folder so that it has access to it's Libraries and plugins. So if you are going to attempt to store and run it from an external drive you need to copy the whole Application folder or install it directly to the external drive. Even still I am not 100% positive it will work as I know it still needs to access your Library/Application Support for additional files and licensing.
    Why do you want to run Photoshop from an external drive?

  • How can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

    how can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

    If you mean iTunes Store accounts, there's really nothing for you to do. Just add the tracks to the iTunes library and play them. Music purchased prior to late-2009 will been to be authorized, though. Pull down Store > Authorize... and type the credentials of the Apple ID used to buy the tracks.
    If you mean something else, please describe in more detail.

    Hey jayanta_das,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you have an HP Deskjet 1050, from your description it sounds like you would like to scan or copy to the computer and then print so you can make modifications to the original rather than performing a copy directly from the printer. Is this correct? If I have misunderstood, please re-explain the task you are trying to perform and how I can help.
    I look forward to hearing from you.
    Thanks,

  • Can I use System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection in "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" without buy the license ?

    Can I use System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection in Azure Virtual Machine Gallary's "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" without buy the System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection license ?
    I want to protect my Azure RemoteApp against the malware.
    System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection installed Azure Virtual Machine Gallary's "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host".
    Now, I try to build Azure RemoteApp template by using the  Azure Virtual Machine Gallary's "Windows Server Remote Desktop Session Host" .
    Regards,
    Yoshihiro Kawabata

    Hi Yoshihiro,
    Unless and until Microsoft modifies the license terms for System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection and/or modifies the Online Services Terms (OST) and/or other document explicitly saying that use is included with the Azure RemoteApp (ARA) monthly
    fee I recommend you assume as that it is
    not included and license it separately for ARA if that is even possible, which is a separate question.
    For licensing it is best to be cautious and make decisions based on the official documents that are available that govern use of the software and services involved.  At this moment I'm not able to find a Microsoft document that grants use of System
    Center 2012 Endpoint Protection with Azure RemoteApp.
    When I first used the gallery template and noticed that Endpoint Protection was installed within it I had the same question as you.  I will update this thread if/when I obtain more information.
