SCCM 2012 is not listing the domain controller servers in the "All Systems" collection

How can I change that? Do I need to move the system from the domain controllers group to computers in AD?

If you intend to use client push for domain controllers the client push account must be a domain admin account. I suggest just manually installing the client on the domain controllers instead.

Why is it not possible to move a SCCM 2012 Server to a new Domain?

Hello everybody,
I know it is not supported to move a SCCM 2012 Server to a new Domain. But I am still missing why it is not supported or possible....
I could not find anything that explained it in detail on the forums/internet. So when the question comes up in front of a customer it is always better to have a good argumentation...Can somebody describe the reasons why??
Thank you very much in advance!

Have them call CSS then.
It's ultimately the result of the design of the product but not an explicit decision. To my knowledge, it relies on the domain name for certain things and this is explicitly embedded with no defined way to change this. Could it be changed? Probably.
But, that would take a lot of work and effort and is not something Microsoft has ever invested any time in.
The grass is green and the sky is blue. Knowing why doesn't change these.

JRE 1.7 / Java Plug-in - Long delay in retrieving the applet File(JAR) due to a request to the Domain Controller(on port 53)

Description:
A specific group of users/customers (using Windows7 OS with IE and FireFox web browsers) are facing problems with retrieving the applet File, after they upgraded the JRE on the system(PC) to JRE 1.7.0_25-b17 from JRE version 1.6.0_29-b11.
With JRE 1.7.0_25-b17 it is noticed that when the Java plugin requests for the applet File; it sends a request to the Domain Controller of the user, which causes a delay of 2 to 5 minutes and sometimes hangs. The problem occurs consistently.
The current temporary workaround for this group of users is to use JRE version 1.6.0_29-b11.
Problem analysis:
To investigate the problem the below steps were executed:
1) Collected the Java console outputbelow details from the user's system. (The complete output is not posted due to lengthy content, though can be added further to this post if required.)
(a) Works fine with JRE version 1.6.0_29-b11. Kindly refer to Java console output in the code ‘section A’ towards the end of this post.
(b) The problem occurs with problem with JRE version 1.7.0_25-b17. Kindly refer to Java console output in the code ‘section B’ towards the end of this post. The step where the problem is observed, is indicated as(##<comment>##).
2) The network settings in the user's browser was checked. Internet Options > Connections > LAN setting
The configured option is 'Use automatic configuration script' and the value is http://www.userAppX.com/proxy.pac
This configuration remains the same irrespective of the JRE version in use.
3) The network settings in the Java Control Panel was checked.
The used/selected option is "Use browser settings", although values for 'Use proxy server' and 'use automatic proxy configuration script' are filled-in as 'user-proxy.com' and 'http://www.userAppX.com/proxy.pac' respectively.
This configuration remains the same irrespective of the JRE version in use.
4) The proxy PAC file was checked and debugging was done for the request 'https://myAppletHost.com/download/...'. The FindProxyForUrl function (including the conditions defined in it, for the hostname and domain checks) returns PROXY user-proxy.com:80
5) The user also tried the below
a. Changed the option in the network settings in the browser to 'Proxy server' with Address 'user-proxy.com' and Port '80'
b. Restarted the browser.
c. Tried with Java Plug-in 1.6.0_29, JRE version 1.6.0_29-b11. There was no problem and no request to the Domain Controller of the user.
d. Tried with Java Plug-in 10.40.2.43, JRE version 1.7.0_40-b43. The problem occurs with the delay and a request to the Domain Controller of the user is observed.
Kindly refer to Java console output in the code ‘section C’ towards the end of this post.
6) The user also tried setting the below property in the Java Control panel; restarted the browser, and try with JRE 1.7.0_40-b43. The problem stil persists.
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
7) The Global Policy Management of the Domain Controller was verified by the user. It has GPO for proxy setting but nothing related to Java security.
Questions:
The problem seems be specific to a particular (user) environment setup, and the user faces the problem when using JRE 1.7.
We would like to know if the issue is in the (user) environment setup or in JRE 1.7.
Could you please help with information/ideas/suggestions to identify the root cause and solution for this problem?

My organization is experiencing very similar problems. We have resolved it through several steps.
We upgraded the client to Java 8 and we saw in the console that the hanging connection with the Domain Controller no longer occurs. This may be all that is necessary for your environment as well.

Cant figure out the IP address of the domain controller

I just started at a new company and would like to change my domain password but cannot because I cant communicate with the domain controller. I can see it when I do a net view, but I cannot ping it because my DNS server is set to the local router IP
address rather than the DC IP address and the name simply won't resolve.
I suspect if I manually change my DNS server to point to the IP of the DC, my problem will go away. I asked the local IT guy and he says 'nobody has ever asked to change their domain password before' ???!?!?!????? nor does he have any idea about the
IP and he would have to submit a ticket to the overseas IT desk (where the DC physically resides) and they would change my password manually.
Any ideas?

Robr2,
I agree with others about the ONLY DNS that must be set on ALL machines is ONLY the DC's IP address. That's it. Not the router, or the ISP's DNS. This is one of the most common configuration errors that will cause
MAJOR problems with DC to client communcations.
Here's a full explanation with a great analogy:
Active Directory's Reliance on DNS, and why you should never use an ISP's DNS address or your router as a DNS address, or any other DNS server that does not host the AD zone name

Pricing for VM running WS 2012 E R2 primarily as domain controller for ~5 clients

Hi
I am starting a small medical clinic, with only about 6 client PCs. However, I would like a domain network structure for security purposes moving forward rather than a workgroup.
I'm looking at either purchasing a modest server (ie HP Proliant ml310) with windows server 2012 essentials r2 and using it locally (total cost ~$1500) or using a Windows Azure virtual machine to run the domain controller over a VPN. We already use
office 365 e3, so don't really need a local server for email, storage etc. I already have an old synology NAS that could be used for disk images etc that we would lose out on with the hosted server solution.
Can someone verify my calculations for monthly cost estimate I tried using the calculator --1 small VM + 225 GB storage for the OS came to $65/month
Would I be able to run it on the small virtual machine or would I need to go up to medium just for the OS? If the later is the case it would definitely not be cost effective.
Thanks for the help
TM

hi tdiddy,
Thanks for posting!
About VM and azure storage pricing , I suggest you could refer to this pricing details page and calculations fee:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/virtual-machines/
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/storage/
Also, for this billing question Please contact azure billing support team via

Hope it helps.

Windows 2012 Verification of prerequisites for Domain Controller promotion failed

Windows 2012 Verification of prerequisites for Domain Controller promotion failed and gave the below error(In computer management local group and user option is not there as suggested by a solution!)
"Verification of prerequisites for Domain Controller promotion failed. The local Administrator account becomes the domain Administrator account when you create a new domain. The new domain cannot be created because the local Administrator account password
does not meet requirements.
Currently, the local Administrator password is blank, which might lead to security issues. We recommend that you press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, use the net user command-line tool, or use Local Users and Groups to set a strong password for the local Administrator
account before you create the new domain."

OK, the reason you see this error is because when you set up and configured your Windows R2 environment you may have logged into the OS with an account other than Administrator. So, if you created your log in account named Bob, this is throwing off the Server.
So, hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete, and look who you are logged in as, and then change the account you are logging in as and use the local Administrator account. What you may find is that the default Admin account password has not been set.
Check that out and see if that is what you are experiencing.

ACL migration Error : 1210 could not find a domain controller for domain "Test Domain" (Old Domain)

Hi
We are migrating from old domain to new domain. Before live migration, we are trying to check the ACE/ACL migration through SubInACL. We are running the SubInACL on a cluster, which is a member of the Old Domain (Test Domain). We are able to resolve and
ping both Old Domain and the New domain from this cluster machine. We have created a network share on this cluster, which is accessible to all Domain Users of the Old Domain. Both Domains have two way forest level trust. we are trying to migrate
the ACL of this share (\\ClusterMachine\testshare$) to the new domain using SubInACL. We are trying to run the below command to get it done.
subinacl /outputlog=C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\Migrationlog.txt /subdirectories
\\ClusterMachine\testshare$\*.* /migratetodomain=OldDomain=NewDomain=mappingfile.txt
Mapping file contains : Domain Users=NewDomain_Users
But we are geeting the Error that "1210 could not find a domain controller for domain "Test Domain". Error finding domain name : 1210 the format of the specified computer name is invalid. Current Object "\\ClusterMachine\testshare$"
will not be processed."

Hello,
how in detail is DNS set up in each domain?
Any problems when using nslookup to verify?

Migration of SCCM 2012 SP1 to SCCM 2012 R2 in a new domain.

I am wondering if it is possible to migrate objects from a SCCM 2012 SP1 server in one domain to a new SCCM 2012 R2 server in another domain ?
I read this article, but it does not state this particular combination.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg682006.aspx
Thx
Thomas

For Migrate from SCCM 2012 SP1 to SCCM 2012 R2 in same environment/Domain, it's support and applicable.
But migrate to new domain, it's not support. Also you can't migrate database for new domain or object. you will need to rebuild it.

Hi Kanchan,
So on each computer, you create a local user account that is a member of the Administrators group, and use the same account and password on each machine(controller and Agent), am I right?
Could you enable the detailed log message?

>>In log file error was “I, 2015/04/02, 15:32:21.723, Could not get the status from the test agent. Exception: Failed to connect to an IPC Port: The system cannot find the file specified.”I
met a similar issue before which was related to the Firewall exceptions, maybe you could refer to it here:

Anyone notice that text/iMessages are not listed by contact's name but the contact phone number now?

Anyone notice that text/iMessages are not listed by contact's name but the contact phone number now after 5.0.1?

Yes, I just noticed this after upgrading to 5.0.1. That's why I came here to this forum. I tried re-syncing with address book, but it didn't help. Not only is my text messages only showing phone numbers, instead of contact names, but my call log is doing that as well.

When the domain controller locator process happened

HI Guys
I read lots of articles about how domain controller located. And so far i thougth i knew most of the process, but still have some question.
1.when the DC locator happend ,just start during computer boots up ,or started after user press CTRL+ALT+DEL and input username and credential.
2.Based on following Technet article , step 7, what's the difference between "If the client has found a DC in the site in which the DC claims the client is located" and "If the returned domain controller is in the cloest site "
? And step 8, if the domain that is being quried is same as the domain that the computer joined, was the first domain means the domain the user belongs to ? like xxx\username ?

Hi Jacky,
I assume that you are talking about this article:

>when the DC locator happend ,just start during computer boots up ,or started after user press CTRL+ALT+DEL and input username and credential.
The DC locator initiates after we input domain credentials and press Enter.
>what's the difference between "If the client has found a DC in the site in which the DC claims the client is located" and "If the returned domain controller is in the closest site "?
“If the client has found a DC in the site in which the DC claims the client is located” means that the client and a DC are located in the same site. “If the returned domain controller is in the closest site” means that a DC which
is located in the closest site is found (based on site link cost).
>if the domain that is being queried is same as the domain that the computer joined, was the first domain means the domain the user belongs to ? like xxx\username ?
Yes you are right that the first domain means the user account which tries to log on belongs to.

I hope this helps.
