Server running remote powershell instance

Hello,
I have just installed Exchange 2010 on a W2K8 R2 machine.
It tells me: "specify server running remote powershell instance" , and I don't know which server has that installed.
I am new to Exchange 2010.
I supposed it was the first Exchange I installed (I have installed four servers (lab environment): 2 CAS+HUB + 2 Mailboxes).
I used google and there are a lot of information regardind Remote powershell, but not about this prompt in Exchange 2010 that I can find.
Thanks in advance!

Ah - you are adding a remote forest to your current forest. This is also how you link up Office 365.
BUT
If all you want to do is manage the Exchange install in you test AD then just expand the Exchange server On-premises in the left hand pane. Does that work for you?
Cheers,

Exchange 2013 remote session running as PowerShell version 2.0. How can I get it to run version 3.0?

I'm trying to use the newer Powershell 3.0 features, particularly the ability to disconnect/reconnect a remote session, for our Exchange 2013 administration tools. I have 3.0 on my workstation, and am connecting to a remote session on an Exchange 2013
server (on Server 2012).   Even LOCALLY on the Exchange 2013 server Exchange Management Shell I get the same behavior:

I still can't get it to work that way. I changed my cfexecute to:
<cfexecute name="C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe" arguments="/c C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\captcha\#cmd_filename#" outputFile="C:\testoutput.txt" timeout = "90"></cfexecute>
And I changed my bat file to have:
<cfsavecontent variable="cmd_content">
cd\
TSC.exe /s "#newString#" C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\captcha\#FileName# Mary (for Telephone)
</cfsavecontent>
The output file is showing:
C:\ColdFusion9\runtime\bin>cd\
C:\>TSC.exe /s "3.....P.....4.....Z.....8.....U.....7.....X....." C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\captcha\3P4Z8U7X-105724.wav Mary (for Telephone)
I still can't get it to run the exe. I have watched the process list while running this and the exe doesn't show up. I tried cfexecute on the exe directly before trying the bat method, with hard coded arguments, and it still didn't work. I am so lost right now this makes no sense to me.

Error: Registering remote JRun instance in CF9/Windows Server 2008

Hello,
We are upgrading our dev/qa/uat environments to a new set of servers (2). CF9.01 with the latest patches is installed fresh on both servers, which are running Server 2008/IIS7. I created jrun instance dev01 and dev02 on each server, respectively. The plan was to let the CISCO load balancer manage the load between the two boxes, and to then share JRun sessions between the boxes so that we could failover anytime during the day if need be. Whenever I try to register a remote instance I get the following error:
Variable ORGSPECDIR is undefined.

Now, from either of the 2008 servers I CAN register a remote JRun instance that resides on a Server 2003 box. If I go to the Server 2003 box and try to register an instance from either one of the 2008 servers I get the same error as above, so it is definitely specific to Windows 2008 server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to think about storing sessions in a db but want to have that high availability/flexibility at anytime.

Gary

Hi Gary, this was a bug in CF 9.0.1. We've issued a hotfix fo it:

Hi Kenneth,
Here for your case suggest you to configure RDP session time limit so that your user can disconnect\log off once the specific time limit reached.
You can setup the session time limit in different method.
1. Open the Server Manager, select Remote Desktop Services.
2. In Remote desktop Services, in right side you can drop down to collections.
3. Select the collection which you want to edit the settings.
4. Under collections Properties, select Task and then Edit Properties.
5. In Properties dialog box, select Session.
6. You can find all thetimeout settings under session collection properties; edit according to your requirements and then OK.
And apart also by group policy setting as below.
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits
User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Session Time Limits
- Set time limit for disconnected sessions
- Set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services sessions
- Set time limit for active Remote Desktop Services sessions
- End session when time limits are reached
Please check which setting suitable for your environment and you can apply for your case.

Windows Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services reports printer process does not exist when installing PDF printer

Windows Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services reports printer process does not exist when installing PDF printer, And when Installing network printers from the domain controller it reports it cannot connect to printer. I can ping all
network devices. I can connect to the internet.
On boot I get a netlogon 5719 error followed by service control manager errors 7023,7001 and a group policy error 1129.
Clients can connect to the remote application and RDP operates to connect to the server internally and externally.
The domain controller is another server 2008r2 box. I have scoured the internet but have not found any solutions that work yet.

Hi,
After referring to your post, it can be identified that the issue which you are facing is mostly due to some network issue in your environment. Please recheck your network connection issue between computer and domain controller.
Can you able to ping with IP address and also with fully qualified name of a domain controller in the users' and computers' domain. If it fails states that name resolution issue with computer and domain controller. Are you using MS DHCP Relay agent then there’s
available Hotfix for the particular Event ID. Please go through this KB 2459530 to fix the error event ID.
As per the net logon error 5719 which you are facing states that the client component of Netlogon was unable to locate a DC for the domain it was trying to perform an operation against. Below is one of the reason. If this is being logged on a DC and the event
refers to the DC's own domain, something might be preventing the client component of Netlogon from starting a network session (to itself or to another DC in the domain). The following event 7001 & 7023 states start & stop operation service. Please
go through beneath article for more details.
1. Event ID 5719 is logged when you start a computer
2. Netlogon 5719 and the Disappearing Domain [Controller]
3. Event ID 1129 — Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy
Hope it helps!
Regards.

How do I find out my MBP's 'server name?' to run Remote Desktop Connection?

How do I find out my MBP's 'server name?' to run Remote Desktop Connection?

Hi Dave,
You need to type the server name that was assigned by your mail administrator for the server running Exchange. So please ask your administrator for the Server name. Thanks for your understanding.
For more information, here is an article for your reference.

Exchange Server 2013 and Remote Access VPN on a single server running Windows Server 2012?

Just by way of background, I have been installing and administering network servers, e-mail systems, VPN servers, and the like for many years. However, my involvement with Exchange and Windows Server has been mostly on the forensics and data recovery
level, or as a (sophisticated) user. I have never tried to deploy either from scratch before. My deployment experiences have been mostly with Linux in recent years, and with small private or personal "servers" running such cutting edge
software as Windows XP back when it was new. And even NetWare once.
When a client asked me if I could set up a server for his business, running Exchange Server (since they really want Outlook with all of its bells and whistles to work, particularly calendars) and providing VPN access for a shared file store, I figured it
could not be too difficult given that its a small business, with only a few users, and nothing sophisticated in the way of requirements. For reasons that don't bear explaining here, he was not willing to use a vendor hosting Exchange services or cloud
storage. There is no internal network behind the server; it is intended to be a stand-alone server, hanging off a static IP address on the Internet, providing the entirely mobile work-force of about 10 people with Exchange-hosted e-mail for their computers
and phones, a secure file store, and not much else. If Exchange didn't need it, I would not need to install Active Directory, for example. We have no direct need for its services.
So I did the research and it appears, more by implication than outright assertion, that I should be able to run Windows Server 2012 with Exchange Server 2013 on a server that also hosts Remote Access (VPN only) and does nothing else. And it appears
I ought to be able to do it without virtualizing any of it. However, I have spent the last three or four days fighting one mysterious issue after another. I had Remote Access VPN working and fairly stable very quickly (although it takes a very
long time to become available after the server boots), and it has mostly remained reliable throughout although at times while installing Exchange it seems to have dropped out on me. But I've always been able to get it back after scrounging through the
logs to find out what is bothering it. I have occasionally, for a few minutes at a time, had Exchange Server willing to do everything it should do (although not always everything at the same time). At one point I even received a number of e-mails
on my BlackBerry that had been sent to my test account on the Exchange Server, and was able to send an e-mail from my BlackBerry to an outside account.
But then Exchange Server just stopped. There are messages stuck in the queues, among other issues, but the Exchange Administration Center refuses now to display anything (after I enter my Administrator password, I just get a blank screen, whether on
the server or remotely).
So, I am trying to avoid bothering all of you any more than I have to, but let me just begin with the basic question posed in the title: Can I run Exchange Server (and therefore Active Directory and all of its components) and Remote Access (VPN only) on
a single Windows Server 2012 server? And if so, do I have to run virtual machines (which will require adding more memory to the server, since I did not plan for it when I purchased it)? If it can be done, can anyone provide any pointers on what
the pitfalls are that may be causing my problems? I am happy to provide whatever additional information anyone might like to help figure it out.
Thanks!

An old thread but I ran into this issue and thought I share my solution since I ran into the same issue. Configuring VPN removes the HTTPS 443 binding on the Default Site in IIS for some strange reason; just go and editing the bindings, add HTTPS and things
should be back to normal.

Can I install a second instance of i-Calender on the server where right now is running the first instance? How?

The first instance is running on a Sun R420 Enterprise
server. The second instance will run in the same server.

When you say "Authorized" you mean in the sense of Itunes Store Authorized? if so the system in Question is authorized it is my primary Workstation and was waiting until iCloud came out to update to Lion. My MBP , and 2006 MP are all running Lion and are part of the 5 systems "authorized". I did not run into this issue with either the MBP or the MP when i installed and I bought two copies at the same time on my the first day Lion was available.
Do you know the mechanism with which the App Store tracks purchases on different computers prior to iCloud coming out?
once again thanks for your response

Running a command in a remote Powershell session

Hi,
I have used the Enter-PSSession to get a remote session on a domain controller... all is ok with that.
when i run the following command it fails, however if i run this locally on the domain controller it succeeds. this command is correct, it just fails with the remote powershell session
dsacls.exe "OU=MYTestOU,OU=Servers,DC=MyDomain,DC=Local" /G "mydomain\MyComputer$":GRGWCC
I have tried placing c:\windows\system32 before the exe, and i have also tried cmd /c dsacls.exe .........
i cant figure out why this doesnt work, can anyone help?
thanks
Steve

strange, if i run the command for a user account instead of a computer account and remove the "" around it, it works.
dsacls.exe "OU=MYTestOU,OU=Servers,DC=MyDomain,DC=Local" /G mydomain\steve:GRGWCC
it must be that $ sign that is causing the problems....?

Remote panels- server running application in log-off locked mode

I have not used remote panels before and was pondering if they would work if the server (Win Xp) running the application goes into workstation locked mode.
Company IT policy dictates that all PC's must go into locked screensaver mode after 15 minutes of inactivity. To reactivate, the user must log back in. Of course any applications continue to execute normally while in locked mode.
Would another user at another PC be able to view/control the front panel of a LabVIEW exe remotely while the server running the application is in locked mode?
Thanks
-AK2DM
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"It’s the questions that drive us.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The remote panel should continue to run while in locked mode. If another user wanted to open the remote panel and view it, that should be ok too. Remember that there are limits to the number of users that can be viewing a remote panel. The limit depends on how many licenses you have. info here
Because only one user can take control of the vi. If the second user wanted to take control (and the first user had control) then the second user would not be able to take control. The solution to this is to set time limits on how long a user can have control. This is a configuration setting.

Server 2012: Remote desktop licence manager not issuing licences

Hi,
I am battling with an problem which i cannot seem to resolve and no other forums actually come to a conclusion on how to resolve this problem!
I have a windows server 2012 server which is NOT part of a domain.
I have installed Remote Desktop Services and also installed the Remote Desktop License manager and i just cannot get the license manager to issue cals when users connect remotely via RDP
I have installed an extra two CAL's and tried using them as both a "Per User" and also "Per Device" but still does not work.
I have now run out of my grace period and cannot connect to the server at all
I have also tried changing some gpo's with no luck,
Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services -> Remote Desktop Session Host -> Licensing
"Use the specified RD license servers" = myservername
"Set the Remote Desktop licensing mode" = Per User
How can i fix this?
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Have you seen that you have activated RDS License server before installing CAL?
Please check that the License Server should be part of ‘Terminal Server License’ group in Active Directory Domain Services. You can also configure RD License server manually by powershell commmand. Please check below article for information.
RD Licensing Configuration on Windows Server 2012
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2013/09/20/rd-licensing-configuration-on-windows-server-2012.aspx
In addition, please install below Hotfix and verify the result.

PC running Windows 7 SP1 with SQL Server 2012 Express
Joined AD on the server
Connected to the internet
VPN Connected to the Server
Can Remote Desktop the Server
Can ping the server host name
Can nslookup the server host name
The Problem
If Both the Server and the Client are connected in the same Local Area Network, Client can connect to the SQL Serve
Once the Client is placed in different location connected to the Interent, VPN connected as described above, I could not connect to the Server using:
Windows Authentication Domain Users or
SQL Server users
and the error message is:
Cannot connect to SERVER\SQLINSTANCE.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider:
SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)

Any thoughts
Thanks in advance

Hello Hilary,
I have been working on a small replication test.
On the Publisher, things went smooth and the Snapshot Agent was able to work and produce a snapshot written in a shared folder located on the Publisher
On the Subscriber, as I am testing from SQL Server Express, I had run the following command:
replmerg.exe -Publisher [SERVER\SQLInstance] -PublisherDB [dbRepl] -PublisherSecurityMode 0 -PublisherLogin rplMergeAgent -PublisherPassword p@ssw0rd -Publication [TEST Publication] -Distributor [SERVER\SQLInstance] -DistributorSecurityMode 0 -DistributorLogin
rplMergeAgent -DistributorPassword p@ssw0rd -Subscriber [SUBSCRIBER\SQLInstance] -SubscriberSecurityMode 0 -SubscriberLogin rplMergeAgent -SubscriberPassword p@ssw0rd -SubscriberDB [dbRepl] -SubscriptionType 1 -OutputVerboseLevel 2 -Output C:\TEMP\mergeagent.log
Where
SERVER
Publisher and Distributor
dbRepl
Database to replicate
Merge Agent
rplMergeAgent
Subscriber
SUBSCRIBER
dbRepl
Subscriber Database
Merge Agent
rplMergeAgent
Password
p@ssw0rd
rplMergeAgent
SQL Login defined in both Publisher and Subscriber with same password
Granted the following at Publisher:
Login to Publication Database (dbRepl)
Login to Distribution Database (distribution)
Member of PAL
Granted the following at Subscriber:
db_owner fixed database role in Subscription database (dbRepl)
I couldn't grant rplMergeAgent Read Permission on SnapshotFolder as it is only a SQL Login.
When I ran the above command line, I received the following error:
Message: The schema script 'Person_2.sch' could not be propagated to the subscriber.
I am pasting below the whole log file written by the above command:

I can say it is about how can the rplMergeAgent read the Shared folder.
What do you think?

Linux Server to connect Windows 2008 R2 Server to execute powershell commands

Is it possible to do remotely executing powershell scripts on Windows 2008 R2 from Linux Server. I explored the option of FreeSSHD, but there is no option for password less authentication.
Any thoughts and hints greatly appreciated.
Retheesh
Thanks and Regards, Retheesh Kumar R

I am going to respectfully disagree with my post mates! Muhahahaha!
If the target server (your Windows 2008 R2 box) can accept secure shell (ssh) connections, you should be able to ssh into the server then start PowerShell just like any other shell. That said, I suspect you will run into quirks. For example, I bet the
"out-gridview" commandlet does some whacky stuff. You may get some strange terminal emulation junk too, but by and large you should be okay. I have Cygwin deployed to a Windows machine. That installation includes the OpenSSH package.
[1] Cygwin http://www.cygwin.com/
[2] How to run the OpenSSH SSHD server on Windows using Cygwin;
http://www.noah.org/ssh/cygwin-sshd.html
This would be like ssh'ing into some Linux machine then firing up ksh. If you're used to Linux, you no doubt know what I'm talking about.
Now, here is the trick. You'll have to setup key based authentication on the Windows machine once you have your SSH server all setup. If you know how to do this on Linux, its the same process for Cygwin. The following article can help you -- remember the
process is pretty much the same for Cygwin on Windows as it is for Linux distributions:
[3] SSH with authentication key instead of password;
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/530
You have your work cut out for you. Give it a try, and tell us how you fare.
I hope this helps bro!
