Server 2003 Ent DNS failure following Update

Creating a new install of Windows Server 2003 Ent ED (x86 with PAE used) with SP2 for a legacy system.
Running a WUS 3.0 server to supply the updates.
When I create the basic install (after all H/W drivers installed.)
I Leave the system connected to the WUS server for a while and install the few hundred patches required.
When this is complete I Install DNS /DHCP etc and promote to a domain controller. And after a few more patches, the following item is presented KB2647170 (DNS Issue).
If I install this patch and following the required re-boot, the DNS server cannot start and reports that it was unable to create a thread, not enough system resource etc and shutsdown.
Uninstall the patch and all is fine, re-install fails.
I have looked at the issue on the update site and used the code to run through the powershell and results show nothing, so the issue does not seem to be the @cname that is mentioned.
Has anyone come up against this issue before?
(System is: Dual 8-Core Xeons,
48GB ram, 1 x 500GB SSD + 5TB RAID)

Hi, thanks for the reply,
I have looked at the 'Known Issues' , however this mentions problem zones, I have tried to just install DNS component (without promotion to a DC or any other configuraton), so the initial setup does not contain any zones, just the basic files set-up,
When I run the script text mentioned in the article I receive the following response:
No Zones Returned (due it is only a basic set-up, no zones configured yet)
No Zones with the issue (as above),
However if the patch is applied I still see DNS fail to start correctly , shutdown and the event id 111 is logged with the test of 'unable to create a thread etc'

Dear all;
I have walkthrough on all the documents you have sent and make the following changes on DB pfile:
1-     Remove the DB_CACHE_SIZE.
2-     Add a new parameter DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS
3-     Add a new parameter USE_INDIRECT_DATA_BUFFERS=TRUE.
4-     Increase SGA to 7000M
NOTE: Windows can manage my 16GB as 15.2GB of RAM

Hello,
We have Unity 5 with Exchange 2007 SP1 on Windows 2003 SP1 Enterprise server. We want to upgrade Exchange to SP2 or SP3 but I could not find enough information, may not have looked in right places.
Does anyone have Unity with Exchange 2007 with SP2 or SP3? has anyone experienced issues with such upgrade?
Thanks,

From the logfiles you supplied, it appears that SP1 for .NET FW 1.1 is missing.
These security updates will not install if you don't have SP1 for .NET FW 1.1 installed.

OCS Installation problems - Server 2003

Hi,
I'm trying to install OCS on Server 2003, and receive the following error:
[0x80070011] The system cannot move the file to a different disk drive.
This error is received at the 'Deploy Server' stage.
Microsoft's Tech support is extremely minimal, and most of the Google results point to problems with Windows update.
I would be grateful if anyone had any ideas...
Many thanks,

Errors in installation of SAP XI on MSCS windows server 2003

We have started installing our XI QAS on a MSCS running windows server 2003. We've followed the installation guide and loaded the Oracle binaries onto each node and the latest patches, have installed oracle failsafe (3.2.2) - done all the DNS & TCP/IP checks, installed abap and abap DB on central instance, and started configuring MSCS using SAPInst - all this successfully completed....
The problem we are having are:
In the Oracle Failsafe Manager, when trying to move <SID>.world from standalone resource to cluster service we get the following errors (after completing all actions on Node A - errors appear to relate to Node B) ....
FS-10890: Oracle Services for MSCS failed during the add operation
FS-10778: The database resource provider failed to configure the the cluster resource <DBSID>.world
FS-10040: Failed to create the database resource <DBSID>.world
ORA-01078: failiure in processing system parameters...
The settings are then rolled back......
I've not had any luck on either the oracle site or sap site finding solutions to these problems.
We've checked all permissions - all okay, Oracle homes are correct, Ip addresses (public and private) are all correct, and now running out of ideas...
Anyone have any ideas??
I can provide more information is needed....
Message was edited by: Barry Neaves

The line in the log right before the error messages reads:
49 09:07:17 > FS-10427: Creating database instance <DBSID> for TNS service name <DBSID>.WORLD
I assume it this part that failed..... It took ten seconds before listing the error messages.....
Any thoughts??

Incorrect download file for Oracle 9.2.0.1 for Windows server 2003

Hi,
I am trying to get hold of the Oracle 9.2.0.1 client software for Windows server 2003 from <http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oracle9i/index.html> the link is in the section "Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.1)", titled "Oracle9i Database Release 2 Enterprise/Standard/Personal/Client Edition for Windows Server 2003 (32-bit)"
I follow the links through and download the OUI and "9.2.0.1" software, however after downloading and unzipping the package it seems that the download was actually the 9.2.0.3 patch that cannot be installed without 9.2.0.1 installed first. I tried this on Friday and today with the same results.
Could you tell me how I get hold of the 9.2.0.1 client software for Windows Server 2003 please?
Thanks,
Mark Williams

As Windows 2003 is officially released this week, I believe Oracle will shortly announce which versions of the database will be supported on Windows 2003. Stay tuned.

Mac OS X 10.10.2 connection to Windows Server 2003 R2 very slo

Hi,
I am currently running OS X 10.10.2 on my MacBook Pro and I connect to a local server at my work periodically by using the connect to server function in Finder. I type in the server ip address and am able to connect to the appropriate drive without any problems. The problem comes in when I go to open files and sometimes folders from the server. It can take up to a minute or more to open a simple .png file that is only 8 mb in size. Trying to open larger files causes the applications to freeze and I eventually have to force close the applications. Even transferring the files from the server to my desktop is extremely slow. I was wondering if there was any way to fix this problem (either on the MacBook side or the Windows side).
The server is currently running Windows Server 2003 R2 (I plan on updating it, but in the meantime...) and the person who set the server up is no longer available to be contacted for questions. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi cani89,
Firstly, this policy has three values that you can set. Which one do you use, Negotiate, RDP or SSL?
In addition, we need the log file for further research.

ICal and Exchange Server 2003

Hello from Barcelona,
I am a new mac user trying to sync iCal with Exchange Server 2003. I have followed all instructions regarding domain, user name, password and URL address but it does not work. The last answer received was "account info not found" & "“HTTP/1.1 440 Login Timeout”. Incredible but when using the program AddressX (downloaded from internet) with the above mentioned configuration...it works and can get my company's global book address.
Just to make sure I am following all "mac" rules. What I am using is:
Domain/UserName
Password
https://company.com/exchange/User.Name
Am I missing any important thing? Please help!!
Thanks in advanced!!

There are several discussions regarding this same topic on the Apple forums and elsewhere. None of them have solved the problem. This seems to be an issue that has been around for a long time but never addressed by Apple or Microsoft. From some simple tests that I have done, it appears the the Microsoft Exchange Server is not interpreting the iCal event (.ics extension) properly. I have seen discussions saying that Apple is not formatting the event properly or is using a newer standard that MS Exchange does not support. I believe it is the later as I can make the event work properly without any software changes but I have to do some steps manually. Here is how I can make it work and why I believe something is wrong in MS Exchange:
- create event in iCal and add an Outlook user
- send the event/email (ignore this email on the PC as it does not work)
- open the just sent email and save the attached iCal event
- find the saved iCal event and add a letter to the extension such as ".icss"
- (Note: I don't know if there is a way to rename an attachment already in a message)
- attach this renamed event to a new message and send it to the Outlook user
- the Outlook user must open the message, save the attachment and rename it back to ".ics"
- double clicking / opening this renamed file now works perfectly in Outlook
Now, if I could only automate some of these steps on the Mac before I send the message would be very helpful. This is not a great solution but I use it for events that I want to sync between my home Mac and my office PC.
Because the renamed attachment (.icss) works through Exchange (by ignoring it), I am lead to believe that MS Exchange will interpret an ".ics" extension and mess up the handling of it for some reason. Microsoft is never one to follow standards very carefully or adopt them very quickly. Our company is using Exchange 2003 so maybe that is part of the problem as it is an older version.

Server 2003 R2 Crippled after latest WSUS updates

I'm posting this because I'm stuck with a problem that has affected all Windows Servers (both 2003 and 2008) that I've installed the latest group of WSUS patches on.
After installation of these updates, the server hangs on restart at "Applying computer settings...". It hangs at that dialogue for between one and two hours. Eventually if I'm patient I can get to the desktop, but the server is incredibly slow.
One of my servers can't be logged onto and is hung at "Logging off..." after I attempted to restart it through the Windows interface.
This has also affected several of my Server 2008 servers, but eventually I was able to log onto them, then shut them down, then when they started back up they seem to be functioning normally.
It appears I am able to restart in Safe Mode, so if there are any suggestions as to a fix that can be implemented in Safe Mode that is an option.
Has this happened to anyone else and is there anything I can do to get my servers back in operation?

A little update from today.
This is a closed network not connected to the WWW so I am unable to post any config info. I have the physical server back up but the virtual server is only partly working (I have a work around that lets me log on locally).
To refresh, these are both Server 2003 R2 Ent. One is physical and is DC/AD/DNS. The other is virtual, is a web server, and is hosted on ESXi 4.1. Servers were performing normally until a group of 6 WSUS updates were applied. Once that happened and the servers
were restarted, they both would hang at the "Applying computer settings..." screen and stay there for days. Some services would still be available to the network and others were not (IIS still worked on the web server).
What I did today on the physical server:
1. Cold booted with network adapter disconnected - result: no change
2. Booted into Safe Mode and removed all updates that were applied last from WSUS - result: no change
3. Booted into Safe Mode and disabled the service Network Location Awareness - result: server would complete boot up and let me log in normally, but NIC was not functioning (it's a single NIC). I was able to enable the Network Location Awareness service
but the NIC was still not functioning, no network connectivity (tried to repair through Windows, no change)
4. Then while logged on, disconnected the network adapter cable from the NIC and plugged it back in, and then it seems the NIC started working again.
All servers, both physical and virtual, connect to a 12 port Cisco 3750 using MM fiber NICs.
On the virtual server with this problem, I did not remove the WSUS updates that were applied. I booted it into safe mode, disabled the Network Location Awareness service but it would not boot normally until I removed the virtual NIC through ESXi.
Once the virtual NIC was removed, I could log on locally, but I could not restart the NLA service. When I try to restart this service, the services.msc snap-in stops working and the server appears to partly "freeze" (example: I can change screen
resolution but the Start button does not respond).
While logged on locally and with NLA service still disabled, I reinstalled the virtual NIC through ESXi and the server re-established connectivity to the network.
At this point I can only log out, because if I restart it with the virtual NIC attached it goes back to hanging at the "Applying computer settings..." screen.
I'm not too worried about the virtual Server 2003 because we plan to move web services to Server 2008, but I still don't know why this is happening, what the relationship is to the WSUS updates that were applied (none of this happened before that), or how
to prevent this from happening in the future.
Thanks for your patience and advice.

Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition 32 bits Service Pack 2 never finishes searching for updates and use 100% of CPU.

Hi everyone, I am having issues updating a clean Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition 32 bits Service Pack 2, so any help with be appreciated cause I've already tried all my cards for the past 5 days in this particular issue without success.
All I did so far is installing Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise with Service Pack 2, open IE to update, it keeps searching for updates and never stop, after 20mn to 30mn the process svchost.exe start using 100% of my CPU.
I already tried the following scenarios:
1- Install IE8, install the update KB927891 and the Windows Update Agent 3.0 (I already had this one installed). Reboot and run windows update trough IE8 and the problem did not solved.
2- Install those 2 software "MicrosoftFixit.wu.MATSKB.Run" and "MicrosoftFixit50777", open IE to update, it still hangs and continues eating my CPU. This is the output of "MicrosoftFixit".
Windows Update error 0x8007000D(2014-01-06-T-06_06_34A) --> Not Fixed
Cryptographic service components are not registered (This service is actually running successfully) --> Not Fixed
3- I found the following script that would register some DLL, deleting the "SoftwareDistribution" and forcing windows update to solve the problem and nothing happened either.
Link to script:

Herein is the root cause of your issue. A topic that's been discussed in several blogs, forums, and even in the media since September regards a known issue with attempting to patch IE6 RTM via Windows Update.
Aside from that particular issue... browsing the Internet with an unpatched instance of IE6, especially from a Windows Server system, is also asking for a world of hurt.
Might I suggest the following:
Download the IE8 for Windows Server 2003 installer to a thumb drive.
Download the latest Cumulative Security Update for IE8 for Windows Server 2003 to a thumb drive.
Reinstall Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2.
Upgrade to IE8 from the thumb drive installer and apply the
Cumulative Security Update.
Now your machine is capable of safely browsing to Windows Update to install the rest of the updates (well, maybe, there's also all those other Security Updates from the past seven years that your machine still has vulnerabilites for -- even those seven
years of updates are going to take a Very Long Time to scan for, download, and install).
Why don't you have a WSUS server? -- noting, wryly, that you've posted in the *WSUS* forum.

the latest hotfix to this server but nothing has worked. This is a unknown server as its my companys branded. its got a 13 slot PCI backplane with a processor card running a i7 2600K with 4GB RAM. The processor card is called a ROBO-8780. I have got 5 HDD's
first 2 is RAID 1 which hold the OS and last 3 is RAID 5 which holds the data.
I am getting loads of different problems aswell on different servers where on a freshly build OS of Windows Server 2003 R2 32Bit SP2, its rebooting on the Windows splash screen, can sometimes get into safe mode but very rarely.
If you need any more information, please let me know, any help is appreciated!
Thanks

Failed to Install The New Preview Build. Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.

Hello,
I'm having issues upgrading my Windows 10 Technical Preview installation build 9879 to a newer build that's become available late January 23rd.
I am installing the new upgrade in a Hyper-V virtual machine and get the following error:
Failed to install the new preview build, please try again later. 0x80246007
What could be the problem?
Previously I've had messages that Windows cannot be upgraded on a computer with less than 2 Gbyte of RAM. That's a Hyper-V VM with dynamic memory and I was highly surprised to see this error; never had this before. Had to set 2048 Mbytes as a minimum memory
for this VM. Now that I have this 80246007 error code.
When looking up System log, the following error messages are listed multiple times:
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80246007: FBL_AWESOME1501 9926 Professional.
The errors are returned for the Event ID 20 by WindowsUpdateClient
in task category Windows Update Agent..
I reviewed the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability
registry key as suggested in Windows
Insider stuck on build 9841 - "No new preview build was found", and here is what it shows:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability]
"BranchName"="fbl_awesome1501"
"ThresholdRiskLevel"="low"
"ThresholdOptedin"=dword:00000001
Note, when attempting to install the downloaded update from a native boot, installation starts with no errors.
However, since setup is not supported for a natively booted VHD files, it does not proceed further showing a message that installation on virtual drives is not supported.
Looks like Setup is having problems installing in a Hyper-V virtual machine.
Possibly, some ESD files got corrupted during downloading? Is it possible to remove them and re-download missing files? (I, however, noticed that Windows seems to re-download upgrade files after you restart 9879 and attempt to check for a new build.
Any clue why installing under VM causes 9926 to fail?
Thank you in advance.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

Hi,
According to the error message, this problem seems like update package installation failed during system upgrade.
You can try to remove ESD file which locate at boot of C drive and upgrade the system again for test.
On the other hand, make sure the system 9879 installed all Windows pushed updates before system upgrade.

Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x800F0922

Hi folks,
I have a HP Elitebook Folio 9470p. It came with Windows 8, and I installed it on my corporate domain. I was trying to do some Windows updates so I could upgrade it to Windows 8.1, but it fails installing the updates, whether or not I try
to install them one at a time or all of them. It has about 18 updates it needs from security updates to a .net framework update. I run Symantec EP, and disabled it, checked for driver updates for things like display and networking and they are
all up to date.
I'm at a loss as to what to do. It gives this error in the event log for each file, Event ID 20.
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x800F0922: Security Update for Windows 8 for x64-based Systems (KB2862152).
This is the example for KB2862152, but it gives the same error for every one. I've tried to auto fix for Windows update issues and it fixed a couple of the issues, but not all of them, and provides no other help.
I also deleted folders and files from the SoftwareDistribution folder as well, to no avail. Any ideas what I can do to get whatever updates it needs, so I can fully patch it, and upgrade it to Win 8.1?
Thanks for any help!

Hi MM. Mr Kywildcat and Vegan Fan,
GOOD NEW ! At this time, my issue is solved. The only black side is "how ?" : I hope that we will get a response some day ; however, and for in information pnly - hoping this could help someone - I resume some actions which allowed this the happy end
1) about installing 8.1 : I wanted to be sure that gain/pain ratio was positive, and that upgrading from a (potentially) damaged system would'nt produce something looking like a new Win 8.1, but difficult to maintain and keeping some negative potentialities.
2) I was influenced by the fact that this
0x800F0922 error acted as "a serial killerror", whose root cause could be a unique update error at reboot time concerning several (>20) packages, so I decided to test some manual upgrades.
3) Manual update (i.e. manual download and maunching of .msu packages) of the 2 following packages
(whose update previously failed on a Windows Update) was successful : .NET Framework version 3.5 for x64 (KB2898866) and Camera Codec Pack Windows 8 for x64 (KB2899190)
4) So I decided to try Windows Update on a selection of packages, first : those concerning .Net Framework 3.5 and 4.5 (that is: KB2898866, 2901120, 2898865) --> Successful !
5) finally, I selected almost all other packages, with some exceptions wich I (think to) have no need for : KB2871690, 2904659, 2843630. To be complete, here is the list of pakages updated one time at all :
KB 2892074, 2893294, 2893984, 2909210, 2912390, 2916036, 2889784,2903938, 2911101, 2913152, 2917499
--> always succesful.
I am not a specialist, but I uess that this 0x800F0922 error hides another problem which is globally "H-RESULTED"
to all updates pending in one update operation with reboot. This could be assumed from this CBS.log exterped from my last wrong attempts, where root cause seems not to be
0x800f0922, but 0x80004003 :
2014-02-15 21:29:13, Info CBS Could not get active session for current session file logging [HRESULT = 0x80004003 - E_POINTER]
2014-02-15 21:29:13, Info CBS Not able to add pending.xml.bad to Windows Error Report. [HRESULT = 0x80070002 - ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND]
2014-02-15 21:29:18, Error CBS Startup: Failed to process advanced operation queue, startupPhase: 0. A rollback transaction will be created. [HRESULT = 0x800f0922 - CBS_E_INSTALLERS_FAILED]
Anyway, thanks to you who spent some of your time to describe issues and search/ suggest solutions ; I will upgrade my system to 8.1 anyway, some of this day, when I am sure that my configuration does not hides some other problem. I thing that potential
issue remains until maybe a new KB corrects it, wrong :-) ?
And I hope that you - Mr Kywildcat - can upgrade your system on "current levels" trying similar attempts.
Phil
