Server 2012 adfs configuration with o365

Hello Support,
Currently we have using o365 email account and ad server 2012. how we can start configuration adfs with server 2012 step by step.

Hi,
Here is a walkthrough article below, most of the contents also apply to ADFS on Windows Server 2012:

SQL Server 2012 Standard compatibility with Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard

Hi,
Is SQL Server 2012 Standard compatibility with Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard.
In volume licensing portal Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard is not provided in the list of OS supported for SQL server 2012.

Hi Ajit,
Besides other post, please also note that
Service Pack 1 or
a later update is needed for the support of SQL 2012 on Windows Server 2012 R2.
For more details about how to use SQL Server in Windows Server 2012 R2, please review the following KB article.

DNS Server on Server 2012 R2 Configuration

I have setup a Server 2012 R2 DC with AD/DHCP/DNS. But there are strange things going on with DNS. First in the DNS manager there are two DNS Servers listed,
servername and servername.local. Also, sometimes if I browse the network from the server, there will be no devices listed, other times all devices are listed. everything else seems normal, nslookup, ping internal
and external. Would appreciate any insight with this. Thanks.

Hi Looks like you have one AD integrated Zone and one Standard Primary or secondary zone.
You can check this if you expand the zone and right click on Forward lockup zone and select Properties. Check under General tab.
If you have an AD integrated zone and you don't need the other one I would take a backup and delete it. As if a zone is not AD integrated it save as a file in c:\winodws\system32\dns\.dns file ( isldc-01.local.dns)
Thanks

Windows server 2012 Data Center with VDI configuration error message ( The remote session was disconnected because there are no remote desktop license servers available)

Dears,
I have two windows server 2012 Data Center and I configured (Virtual Desktop Interface)VDI on it's.
All my clients connected on both of servers by used Remote Desktop sessions ,5 months since.
Currently,when the clients is connected on the both of servers they received the following error:
"The remote session was disconnected because there are no remote desktop license servers available to provide license"
Kindly note, I installed windows Licenses Server Data Center on the both of servers.

Hi,
Please let us know if you have purchased RDS CALs and install it in your RD licensing server.
Also, on RD Session host servers, please make sure that you have specified the license mode and point them to the RD licensing server.

Ricoh Aficio MP C2051 Scan to Folder - Windows Server 2012 Error: Authentication with the destination has failed check settings

I have recently upgraded a clients servers to Windows Server 2012 & since doing so have lost the ability to scan to folder.
Both servers are domain controllers and previously on a 2008 domain controller I would have had to make the following change to allow scan to folder:
Administrative Tools
Server Manager
Features
Group Policy Manager
Forest: ...
Default Domain Policy
Computer configuration
Policies
Windows Settings
Security Settings
Local Policies
Security Options
Microsoft Network Server: Digitally Sign Communications (Always)
- Define This Policy
- Disabled
However I have applied this to the Windows 2012 server but am still unable to scan, possibly due to added layers of security in server 2012. The error on the scanner is Authentication with the destination has failed check settings.
I have also tried the following at the server:
Policies -> Security Policies
Change Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level to: Send LM & NTLM - Use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated.
Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) clients and uncheck the require 128 bit.
Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) servers and uncheck the require 128 bit
I have created a user account on the server for the ricoh and set this in the settiings of the Ricoh and verified everything is correct.
Are there any other things I have missed?

I can email anybody the firmware module if interested and how to...
Tell me your model and email
If your offer still stands we have an Aficio MP C3300

Windows Server 2012: SMB share with transparent failover

Have a nice day to all!
I have 2 HP Proliant DL380P Gen8 servers containing 8 x 1TB disks (with P420i HP Smart Array RAID Controller) in each server.
So, there are 2 arrays on every server:
1. 2 x 1TB in RAID1 (+1 disk for hot swap) - system volume
2. 5 x 1TB in RAID5 (+1 disk for hot swap) - data volume
And I installed Windows Server 2012 Standard on each server.
Than I created a failover two-nodes cluster.
And now I want to create a SMB share with transparent failover for all the second (data) volume (it's about 3.3TB in RAID5 array). How just can I reach this goal? I'm going to use it in future for Hyper-V VMs, so, the main reqirement is powered-on and working
VMs even if one node of SMB share cluster is failed.
I wasn't able to see my volumes in failover cluster manager. I tried to create iSCSI targets, storage pools, virtual disks, etc. but no luck. My failover cluster manager can't see it to create SMB share!
Can anyone advice me something?
Thanks in advance!

You need to have your storage you want to export as being a shared storage visible to your cluster (part of CSV). Then you'll configure failover file shares using content accessible from both cluster nodes. Refer to this manual for diagrams (ignore StarWind
and replace it logically with your existing shared storage you've used to create your cluster):
http://www.starwindsoftware.com/configuring-ha-file-server-on-windows-server-2012-for-smb-nas
Also see these manuals from MS on how to create failover file server:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753969.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731844(v=ws.10).aspx
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2010/08/19/working-with-file-shares-in-windows-server-2008-r2-failover-clusters.aspx
However if you want to use existing storage located on the both nodes you're out of luck. Microsoft does not provide anything representing local DAS to the cluster nodes. If you want to use existing DAS then you'll have to stick with a third-party product
like StarWind, SteelEye or DataCore. To create something like in this picture:
So you'll have a configuration with only two nodes, no physical shared hardware (SAS JBOD, FC or iSCSI) and vSAN. Refer to this manual:
http://www.starwindsoftware.com/ns-configuring-ha-file-server-for-smb-nas
Hope this helped :)

SQL Server 2012 Transactional Replication with updateable subscriptioins

Hi All,
It is heard that Transactional Replication with Updateable Subscriptions
is
deprecated in SQL 2012 so it is not possible to configure through the wizards but
we can still configure it by using T-SQL Script. Would you please share that script if possible to configure the same in SQL Server 2012. Thank You.

Server 2012 ADFS and Server 2008 R2 ADFS Proxy compatilibility

Hi,
Does anyone know if a 2008 R2 ADFS Proxy will talk to ADFS running on Server 2012?
TIA.

I have not found a reference to say if this is supported or not. I know that there is no longer a separate ADFS proxy role in Windows 2012 R2. The Remote Access feature provides VPN, Direct Access and Web Application Proxy (WAP) functionality.
So, better to use the new functionality.

WSUS on Server 2012 Standard R2 with SCCM 2012 Standard R2 Proper Setup

What is the proper setup (best practice) on setting up WSUS using Server 2012 Standard R2 to work properly with SCCM 2012 R2 Standard using Server 2012 Standard R2 on separate box?
1. Is it using WID or database during the setup of WSUS using Server 2012 Standard R2?
2. Once it setup properly on WSUS using Server 2012 Standard R2 either WID or database (using SQL 2012 Standard SP1), how do I connect with SCCM 2012 R2 Standard using Server 2012 Standard R2 on separate box?
3. On SCCM 2012 R2 Standard using Server 2012 Standard R2 just need to add WSUS Role, right? Is it using WID or database?
Thanks,
Reza

1. Generally, using the SQL instance you use for ConfigMgr is preferred.
2. The Software Update Point connects ConfigMgr to a WSUS instance.
3. See 2.
Jason | http://blog.configmgrftw.com
It's just as Jason said. The SUP role in SCCM basically "sits on top" of the WSUS role, whether it is local or remote is up to you. You basically install WSUS on a server like you normally would WITHOUT configuring it. I have used both WID and SQL. It's
always nicer to put it on your SQL server since that is (should be) backed up regularly and maintained.
Once you have WSUS installed you just point SCCMs SUP role at the installation and it takes over the rest.

Server 2012 DNS Configuration without using Active Directory

I need step by step instructions to configure a simple DNS setup on Server 2012.
Our server is only a file and application server without Active Directory. Basically we are setup only as a workgroup. Everyone has permissions to use everything.
The first window of the wizard starts off with " enter the domain name". I am stumped from there .
I understand that all the workstations should only be pointing to the server. Where should the server go, to get its information?
I would be much obliged for any easy information as we don't have an IT guy. Thanks

A quick search of TechNet for "dns step-by-step" turns up a nice primer as the first item -
http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/1/0/b106fc39-936c-4857-a6ea-3fb9d1f37063/Windows%20Server%202008%20Step-by-Step%20Guide%20for%20DNS%20in%20Small%20Networks.doc
This document starts off explaining the terminology, such as 'domain', which is basically the naming convention. For example, microsoft.com is a domain name. The document does show installation with Active Directory, but it is not a requirement.
You can run the wizard on its own with no problem. The wizard does most of the work for you and does provide help along the way.

Server 2012 R2 Crashes with NIC Team

Server 2012 R2 Core configured for Hyper-V. Using 2-port 10Gbe Brocades, we want to use NIC teaming for guest traffic. Create the team... seems fine. Create the virtual switch in Hyper-V, and assign it to the NIC team... seems fine. Create
a VM, assign the network card to the Virtual switch... still doing okay. Power on the VM... POOF! The host BSOD's. If I remove the switch from the VM, I can run the VM from the console, install the OS, etc... but as soon as I reassign the virtual
NIC to the switch, POOF! Bye-bye again. Any ideas here?
Thank you in advance!
EDIT: A little more info... Two 2-port Brocades and two Nexus 5k's. Running one port on NIC1 to one 5k, and one port on NIC2 to the other 5k. NIC team is using Switch Independent Mode, Address Hash load balancing, and all adapters active.

Hi,
Have you updated the NIC driver to latest?
If issue persists after updating the driver, we can use WinDbg to analyze a crash dump.
If the NIC driver cause the BSOD, please consult the NIC manufacture about this issue.
For detailed information about how to analyze a crash dump, please refer to the link below,

SSRS 2012, SQL Server 2012. Problem with changing database

Hi all!
I have a problem with changing database for SSRS.
I have a SSRS 2012 and SQL Server 2012. These programs is on WIndows Server 2012.
I need to link SSRS to the new database instance. For this I run SSRS Configeration Manager, open tab Database, click Change Database. Then I choose option "Choose an existing report server database", click Next, write the server name, test
connection (it's successed) and push Next again. Then I see this error message:
Error
The feature: "Using other editions of SQL Server for report data sources and/or the report server database" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services.
OK
I'm confused, cause I have compatible versions of programs and THIS error.
Please, help me.
Thanks.

Hi Kirill,
From the error message, we can know that the issue may be caused by incorrect editions of SQL Server for report data sources are used as the Report Server Database.
When creating a report server database, please be aware that not all editions of SQL Server can be used to host the database. So we should make sure that we have used the correct database as the
Report Server Database. For more details, please refer to the “Report Server Database Server Edition Requirements” section in the following document:

Hope this helps.

SSRS 2012 - Windows Server 2012 R2 issue with OLEDB Connection String

Hoping someone can help. As stated above, we are running SQL Server 2012 with SP1 on Windows Server 2012 R2. When I create a Data Source as follows in Reporting Services, I receive the following error message. Any thoughts on why this fails? The same data
source works on Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SQL Server 2008 R2.

Hi ABAA101,
According to your description, when you use csv file as data source in SSRS 2012 report, you got the error message.
I tested the issue in my local machine, due to some policy restrictions, I could not install Access in my local machine. To workaround the issue, we can use the connection string like below:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\\report;
Extended Properties="text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited"
The csv file is stored in report folder in C driver.
In Query text box in the dataset, we can use the query like below:
Select * from new.csv
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Wendy Fu
