Windows Server 2012 as NTP Server for Windows Server 2008R2 Domain Controller

We have one domain with 3 Windows Server 2008R2 DC's. Our Edge router is configured to get the time from the internet, and was our timesource for the PDC emulator. But lately we have migrated our major routers to Cisco IOS15, and now the timeservice on the
PDCe is unable to fetch the time. This is a known bug, as you can read here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/ja-JP/b16de048-8642-4799-b85a-ad092e17dd47/windows-server-2012-ntp-version-compatibility
Now I've found out that Windows Server 2012 does sync with the router. That's our DirSync server, and is in the same VLAN as our DC's. So I thought: I'll set up the Windows Server 2012 as new timeserver, so our PDCe can sync with that server. (Compony
policy is that DC's don't talk to the internet). Everything seems alright.
I've set:
w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:<IP of router>,0x8 /syncfromflags:manual
w32tm /config /reliable:yes
Changed the registry with:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CC\SERVICES\W32TIME\TIMEPROVIDERS\NTPSERVER - Enabled:1
HKLM\SYSTEM\CC\SERVICES\W32TIME\Config - AnnounceFlags:A
And stopped and started the W32Time service. I can see that the Windows 2012 server is fetching the correct time, and checked with NBTSTAT -NA that it's listening on port 123.
But our PDCe doesn't sync. (also changed the config so it has the 2012 server as timesource). Get the EventID 47:
Time Provider NtpClient: No valid response has been received from manually configured peer <w2012server> after 8 attempts to contact it. This peer will be discarded as a time source and NtpClient will attempt to discover a new peer with this DNS
name. The error was: The peer is unreachable.
What more can I try?

It only shows me the 3 DC's:
DC04.domain.local *** PDC ***[[::1]:123]:
    ICMP: 0ms delay
    NTP: +0.0000000s offset from DC04.domain.local

Reverse name resolution is best effort. It may not be
correct since RefID field in time packets differs across

Services configuration for sql server 2008r2 in a Windows Cluster

Hello,
We have a Windows Server 2008 Cluster with Sql Server 2008r2 installed on node 2; when node 2 fails (we don't still know why, it's a 'bluescreen' long history), the service goes from node2 to node1, but sometimes the services are not automatically activated.
What is the theoretical startup settings for sql services (for the sql and the agent), manual, disabled, automatic... ?
Also, sometimes, the service for the sql server in node2 stops, but we don't know why, and we are not able to see any significant information on the event viewer. How can we trace why Sql Server stopped ?
Thanks !

>What is the theoretical startup settings for sql services
Manual. The cluster will start them.
>How can we trace why Sql Server stopped ?
Look in the SQL Server Log.

Windows Server 2008r2 Printer Sharing

Hi folks,
I have a Windows Server 2008r2 set up as my workstation and I'd like to share the printer with my wife's MacBook. I've set up Printing Services on WS2008r2 and enabled IPP, LPD and everything else I could think of.
The printer sharing works, our other laptop which is Win7 can use it normally, but setting up the share on a Mac is a whole new kettle of fish.
I couldn't get it to connect via IPP, Mac keeps insisting on port 631 even though IPP is running on port 80 here. I have no idea what to put into the address field, if I copy/paste the URL the Mac doesn't recognise it. If I just put in the server name it's happy but insists on connecting to port 631.
Next came LPD which seems to work, Mac connects to the server and picks up the printer. Which brings me to the next problem. If I use standard generic postscript driver then nothing happens, printer gets switched on on the server and stops. An event log entry reports an LPD error:
"The Line Printer Daemon (LPD) service received commands in an invalid format from 192.168.2.106 and refused the print job. This can occur if the Line Printer Remote (LPR) client is incompatible with the Windows LPD service and Request for Comments (RFC) 1179. Try printing using a different LPR client."
The printer is a Canon Pixma iP5200R. If I switch the printer options from generic postscript to a Canon printer it will print but it only uses about 60% of the space, so everything is shrunk on the page. It does print the full content of the page, just makes everything smaller. I managed to get this far by selecting one of the BJC (Bubblejet) models from the drop-down list.
I've installed Canon's driver for iP5200 from their site but it's not available anywhere on the Mac. How do I tell the Mac to use a different driver?
I feel I'm getting close to fixing this, but now the problem is in Macland and I'm not too familiar with it.
Anyone got any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I'm going to apologize first because I don't have a real solution and my post will sound negative, but my experience may give some insight.
My experience is that Apple didn't get Windows printing "done right" until 10.5. Prior to that, I could never print to a Canon S800 printer attached to a Vista Ultimate machine. With the printer attached to a XP machine, I could print, but it would often fail. (Just no output and OSX saying printer was offline.) This was with a G3 B&W with 10.3 and a iMac with 10.4. And like you, I did try the IPP and LPD settings but just never got a usable setup.
Then I got a Macbook Pro with 10.5. Printing worked fine straight out of the box to the same S800 printer on Vista. Mac Mini with 10.5 worked also. Upgraded both to 10.6 and printing still works. Even a clean reload of 10.6 on the Macbook, Windows printing is fine. Also to a Epson R280 attached to the same Vista machine.
Windows 2008, having more in common with Vista and Win7, I'd guess that you may be having similar issues to me. I don't know of any fix, other than 10.5. If you have a friend with a newer Mac, then you can test it. (Otherwise, if you can upgrade your Mac to 10.5 or 10.6. But testing with a friend's Mac would save the cost of buying an OSX upgrade if it didn't work.)
Like I said, no real solution, other than possibly upgrading to 10.5/10.6. So maybe just a pointer to a different line of thinking. Good luck!

Windows Server 2008r2 Printer Sharing over vlan

Hi folks,
I have a Windows Server 2008r2 set up as my workstation and I'd like to share the printer with 4 new macs. I've set up Printing Services on WS2008r2 and enabled IPP, LPD and everything else I could think of.

The printer is a Brother hl-6050D/DN series.

Installing terminal server role on windows server 2012 to use for Windows server 2008 R2 machines.

Dear
Our current setup is as follows :-
Active Driectory is in Windows Server 2003.
Citrix Xenapp version 5.6 with all Xenapp servers in Windows Server 2003
Now we are upgrading our Citrix farm to 6.5 and all Xen app servers into Windows Server 2008R2.
We did the configuration and testing; everything works fine except the terminal server is not configured which gives the pop always for the expiry date.
We do have license for 2012 terminal server which is not possible to downgrade for some reason and managent need to install new Windows Server 2012 for terminal server and activte the licenses.
My question is :-
1 Whether Windows Server 2008 R2 will get RDS cal license from Windows Server 2012 terminal server (RDS CAL license is of windows server 2012).
2. What is the role and features I need to activate in Server 2012 in order to use for Citrix 6.5 (only applicable fetaure for getting the RDS cal license.)
3. Whether I can add this 2012 server into domain. Is it possible to add 2012 server into Windows Server 2003 AD.
Your early reply is highly appreciated.

Thanks Jeremy..
I got exactly the right answers I am lookoing for ..
I successfully activated the terminal service on the newly created Windows 2012 Server and installed the retail license pack we had of 50+50+25 keys . It later shows the 125 keys successfully applied.
when I tried to link the Xenapp (Windows Server2008R2) to the license server, it first gives me error that session host service role is not installed on the ternial server. So I installed that role also in the terminal server.
But now its anothee error as below.
RDS Cals are not available for this Remote Desktop Session host server, and licensing Diagnostic has identified licensing problems for the RD session host server.
1. Is it wrong I did by installing session host server role into the terminal server (but really it gave me error like 'session host server role is not running on the license server' when I tried to link the license server).
2. Is it the problem that Windows Server 2008 R2 will not get license from 2012 RDS CAL license.
3. whether Clearing house will take time to update the license.
Your reply is highly appreciated. I need to know whether any other way I can link the Windows Server 2008 R2 Servers (Xenapp) to the license server.

Can't Open Reports after upgrading to Windows Server 2008R2

Since upgrading to Windows Server 2008R2, I am unable to use File > Open to browse my network for existing Crystal Reports. I am able to access reports from my recent reports list. If I use Windows Explorer to try to find/open an existing report file, I'm prompted for the installation disk. Is this a known issue? Thanks for your help.

SP2 fully supports Windows 2008 Server, here's a link to the [platforms PDF|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/00225757-ab5c-2c10-c1a8-fb9f9f0f4ac2&overridelayout=true] file:
As for permissions this is something you need to setup with Windows and file sharing.

System Cache Issues with Windows Server 2008R2

Hi,
I'm trying to deploy Java version 1.5.0 (build 1.5.0_14-b03) on a new Windows Server 2008R2 installation. I want to use the system cache feature and have used it successfully on Windows XP workstations and Windows 2003 servers in the past. I even got it to work on a test Win Server 2008R2 server earlier this week. But on my production machine I can't get the system cache to configure.
I installed Java as usual and it installed into the Program Files(x86) directory. I copied my deployment files to the c:\windows\sun\java\deployment directory.
Deployment.config contains:
deployment.system.config=file\:/c\:/windows/sun/java/deployment/deployment.properties
Deployment.properties contains:
deployment.user.cachedir=C\:\\Program Files\\HCN
deployment.user.cachedir.locked
deployment.system.cachedir=C\:\\Program Files\\HCN
deployment.javaws.shortcut="NEVER"
deployment.javaws.autodownload="NEVER"
Not sure what's missing here especially since it worked fine the other day.
Both of these servers are virtual, VMware ESX 3.5 and were created from the same template. Only real difference is the production system will be a XenApp application server so it has XenApp installed.
Error I'm getting is that in Javaws it reports that the system cache is not configured and every time I launch my application it has to download from the source because we are deleting the local profiles when the user logs out.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Linn

> I just wanted to know whether there will be any sort of communication or support issues between PROD and DEVE systems with such diverse configurations.
No.
You could even use HP-UX on the DEV system - as long as you're able to share a common directory to ensure transporting it's not a problem. Transports are OS and DB independent.
However, memory management and security in Windows 2008 changed significantly, you may have to use different configurations for W2K8 vs. W2K3.

Dear Sir
My name is sandeep and i have a technical issue with MS office Outlook 2007 standard. the problem is i have windows 8.1 pro. and i have installed office 2007 standard on it. i have also joined this windows 8.1 to Domain Network(I have

Hi,
Did it work correctly before when logging in with domain user account? If so, please try opening Control Panel > Credential Manager and remove the cached credential entry of the Outlook account, and then restart Outlook to test the issue again.
See:

The lease timeout between avaiability group and the Windows Server Failover Cluster has expired

Hi,
I am having some issues where I get a lease timeout from time to time. I have a Windows 2012 Failover Cluster with 2 nodes and 2 SQL 2012 Always-on Availability Groups. Both nodes
are a physical machines and each node is the primary for an AG.
From what I understand if
the HealhCheckTimeout
is exceeded without the signal exchange the lease is declared 'expired' and the SQL Server resource dll reports that the SQL Server availability group no longer 'looks alive' to the Windows cluster manager. Here are the properties I have setup
which are the default settings:
LeaseTimeout - 20000
HealthCheckTimeout - 30000
VerboseLoging - 0>
FailureConditionLevel – 3
Here are the events that occur in the Application Event Viewer:
Event ID 19407:
The lease between availability group 'AG_NAME' and the Windows Server Failover Cluster has expired. A connectivity issue occurred between the instance of SQL Server and the Windows Server Failover
Cluster. To determine whether the availability group is failing over correctly, check the corresponding availability group resource in the Windows Server Failover Cluster.
Event ID 35285:
The recovery LSN (120881:37533:1) was identified for the database with ID 32. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
SQl server logs are too long to post in this box but I can send them if you request.
The AG is setup to failover automatically but it did not failover. I am trying to figure out why the lease timed out. Thanks.

From what I've been able to find out, this is due to an issue with the procedure sp_server_diagnostics. It sounds like the cluster is expecting this procedure to regularly log good status "Clean" in the log files, but the procedure is designed not
to flood the logs with "Clean" messages, so only reports changes, and does not make an entry when the last status was "Clean" and the current status is "Clean". The result is that the cluster looks to be unresponsive. However, once it initiates
the failover, the primary machine responds, since it was never really down, and the failover operation stops.
The end result is that there really never is a failover, but the database becomes unavailable for a few minutes while this is resolved.
I'm going to try setting the cluster's failure condition level to 2 (instead of 3) and see if that prevents the down time.

Upgrading from Windows Server 2008r2 to 2012r2

We have an existing Windows Server 2008R2 which Crystal Reports delivering reports via our website.
On the Windows 2008 server, we used Crystal Reports version 2008.

What do I need to install and what changes to the web.config do I need to make to have my reports continue to display via my website?

First, you need to download the new SDK - it's no longer available as part of the Crystal Reports install.
To do this go here: http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-7824. Download and install the latest version of the "Install Executable" to get integration into Visual Studio. The other installs are the runtime installs - select the appropriate runtime install for your environment.
Now you have to upgrade your application to VS 2010 or newer. There are some changes to the SDK, so you can't just replace the assemblies in your existing application's configuration. DO NOT compile as "any CPU", you need to specifically target either x86 (32-bit runtime) or x64 (64-bit runtime). If you target the 32-bit runtime (which will run on a 64-bit server!) and you're using ODBC, you'll need to create 32-bit ODBC connections on the server. In any case, when working in VS, you'll need 32-bit ODBC connections for testing.

Installing Oracle 11gR2 Standard Edition on WINDOWS Server 2008R2 with ASM

Hi,
I want to setup Oracle 11g DB (11.2.0.2) Standard Edition on Windows Server 2008R2 x64 bit with ASM Instance. I would appreciate if you could suggest me with the following little but important questions.
The following link from Oracle doesnt have 11.2.0.2 db version for windows x64 bit. Do a patch (which I think is a complete installation) is needed to install after installing 11.2.0.1? or I can directly install 11.2.0.2?
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/112010-win64soft-094461.html
Secondly, I have no such experience regarding installing and setting up ASM Instance on windows. How many disks or etc is needed for ASM (as ASM disks). One of the admin guy said, he has 6 disks (2 for OS and 6 you can use for Oracle or ASM so so). Could you please suggest, how should I divide the disk partitions of what should I say no idea :(
Also, do ASM instance (diskgroups,disks) should be setup before creating DB (through dbca?)
I was thinking like:
- Installing Oracle software
- Creating ASM disks,diskgroups,instance,etc
- Creating DB (using dbca?), isnt' it?
Bundle of thanks in advance.
Best Regards

Best Regards-You should create ASM
-After this you could be able to create DB

Audio service hangs on Windows Server 2008R2 with Remote Desktop Services

Hello!
I have some terminal servers on Windows Server 2008R2. Users have the ability to use web browsers (IE, Firefox) with the included Flash Player, IM clients / Internet
telephony (Skype, ICQ), Windows Media Player, Office, and a specific internal software (works with MS SQL). I have the following problem: the Windows audio service hangs up that leads to hangup of all programs which use it, such as: any sites in Internet with
a flash content (in all browsers), ICQ, Skype.Even logging out the session hung when tried to lose a sound. It's impossible to stop or restart service from the services.msc the service just hang with status "restarting". To stop service I terminate svchost
process. As soon as the audio service is stopped - all programs start to work correctly (certainly without a sound). This problem appeared not suddenly - periodic hangups of programs on servers were marked long ago (more than half a year), but not directly
were connected to audio service, especially there were they rather rare (on the average once a week - two) and were corrected by server reset. The error message:
Error container , type 0
Event name: AppHangXProcB1
Reply: No data
Ident CAB: 0
Problem signature:
P1: iexplore.exe
P2: 9.0.8112.16446
P3: 4fb57c8f

P6: svchost.exe:AudioClientRpc
P7: 0.0.0.0

shall suggest an idea about a sound service, but in Event Viewer has no Windows Audio events.
Recently I updated Skype to the last version 6.0.66.120. Before was 4.2.35.155 because versions 5хх on Windows2008R2 with the Remote Desctop Services actually don't
work, if users at the server more than one or two. We checked the sixth version by the test machine with the terminal environment and very were delighted to its normal working capacity. However after installation of this client on production servers it appeared
that hangups of programs on servers began to occur on the average time at an o'clock in case of an average daily load (about 20 users on one server). If you have worked one or two users, problems weren't watched. Internet search led me to the support page
Skype, where the Windows 7 x64 user faced a similar problem in the fifth version of the program. But the solutions proposed by the support team does not help me. In addition, I found the advice to disable enhancements in the properties of the playback device,
but it is impossible for the "Remote Audio" device.
At the moment, on servers where I updated the Skype, I disabled the audio service. If within a reasonable time, I do not find a solution, I will have to revert
to an older version of Skype, but I would like to solve the problem completely.

Enable the Allow audio and video playback redirection Group Policy setting
To allow audio and video playback when connecting to a computer running Windows Server 2008 R2, you must enable the Allow audio and video playback redirection Group Policy setting. The Allow audio and video playback redirection Group Policy setting is located
in Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Device and Resource Redirection and can be configured by using either Local Group Policy Editor or the Group Policy Management
Console (GPMC).
For more information about Group Policy settings for Remote Desktop Services, see the Remote Desktop Services Technical Reference (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=138134).
Is this policy applied? Refer:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd759165.aspx
Also, have you tried update the audio device driver for this terminal server?
