Test question on NPS in Server 2012

Hello!
"There's a domain member server with NPS and DHCP. You need to log all DHCP clients that have their firewalls disabled.
Which three actions and in what sequence should you perform?
a) Create a connection request policy
b) Create a network policy
c) Create WSHV
d) Create a server remediation group
e) Create a health policy"
Having read a number of MSDN documents on NPS I can't answer this question: to make an NPS server work an administrator must complete all the aforementioned tasks.
Moreover, I don't know based on what should I choose that I must "Create a server remediation group" - why creating this group
prior to creating a WSHV is correct but after is wrong?
(The answer: d-b-c).
Thank you in advance,
Michael

Hi,
Based on my understanding, a remediation server hosts the updates that NAP agent can use to bring noncompliant client computers into
compliance with health policy. However, whether or not a client computer that is noncompliant with WSHV is ultimately noncompliant with NAP health policy. Maybe that is why you need to create a remediation server group before creating WSHV.

  • Question on Quorum : Windows Server 2012 R2 + SQL 2014 AlwaysOn AG

    OS on all nodes : Windows Server 2012 R2
    SQL on all nodes : SQL Server 2014 CU2
    2 cluster nodes in primary data center and AlwaysOn AG doing Sync Transfer between these nodes with auto failover.
    2 cluster nodes in DR data center(Different subnet) and AlwaysON AG doing an Async Transfer between primary replica and these nodes with manual failover.
    As this is a multi sub-net cluster we are giving DR nodes 0 vote. 2 nodes on primary DC has votes and a file share on the primary DC has a vote.
    If the primary DC is gone,then should we re-assign node votes to the 2 nodes in DR site and again manually configure a file share witness and give it a vote?
    Whats the best strategy here? Any recommendation is highly appreciated.
    Thank you,

    Anup,
    Think if we have network issues between Primary DC and DR DC. DR node might think…Hey, I’m the only one running now. I can take all the resources. We do not want nodes in the secondary site to contribute to a decision to take the cluster offline
    when there is nothing wrong with the primary site. Do you mean to say Dynamic Quorum is smart enough to handle this situation?
    Is it smart enough on it's own? No. That's why someone has to determine which site they want to stay up.
    If you're using dynamic quorum, a new property was introduced called "LowerQuorumPriorityNodeID" which is set at the cluster level. Give it the node of one and only one of the secondary site servers. Set a fileshare witness (if possible) as the
    odd vote and make sure both sites can see it equally well. Set this property on the cluster for a node on the secondary site.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn265972.aspx#BKMK_TieBreak
    Assume that the fileshare goes down and you have 2 nodes at the local site and 2 nodes at the DR site. Suddenly, communicates between the two are severed. If you have dynamic quorum set and the property I mentioned above, the secondary site will shut down
    and the local site will stay up as the secondary site is set for a lower precedence.
    Please note, the only reason I brought this up was because you're on Windows Server 2012R2 as this is when it was first introduced.

  • Question about MS SQL Server 2012 License on a server (renting/buying)

    Hi,
    I am currently paying about $300 per month to the hosting company for the MS SQL 2012 Standard Edition (for 4 cores) on my server, my question is, can I just buy MS SQL 2012 STD outright ( for example here http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/SQL-Server-Standard-Edition-2012/productID.281182400
    ) for around $3k and stop paying hosting company $300 monthly ?
    If I am able to just buy it outright, is it possible to switch the licensing code to the new one that I bought without reinstalling or loosing database?
    Thank you.

  • Question about VPN with Server 2012

    I am a programmer, but I know enough about network and server configs to be slightly dangerous when it comes to configurations.
    My task today was to try to setup VPN access at our office. We have a 2012R2 standard server that was not doing anything (not even on), so I decided it would be the perfect machine for the job.
    To make this as short as possible, we are a real small office, 3 guys. We have a high end (although consumer grade) router that is not a VPN end point, but does support VPN tunneling through its firewall. Router is DHCP server, however most workstations
    and servers in the office are setup with statics.
    I got everything to work (pats self on back) to allow me to create a new VPN connection from an outside Windows client machine, and everything worked as I wanted it to, except for machine name resolution. I understand this is due to limitations in NetBIOS
    and how that all works. I found an article about setting up a WINS server, and once I did that, it resolved my issue and I was able to connect to shares or RDP to machines by name instead of by local IP address.
    So I came here to ask this:
    1) The WINS server method required me to manually add each machine/IP I wanted to register. I am not sure why this is, but I am thinking it has to do with the server not acting as the DHCP/DNS server (or maybe this is just how WINS works?). This isn't a
    HUGE deal, but it would be nice if I didn't have to manually manage this list. If Windows clients on the local network here can broadcast and see all available network machines, why can't the WINS server make the same network crawl automatically?
    2) In reading about the WINS server, most people said it was a relic and one should use DNS instead. I am looking for more information on this, to see if this is something I should consider or worry about.
    3) Would I make my life easier if I made the 2012 server both DHCP and DNS server and removed those tasks from the router?
    A side note if it matters, we are NOT on a domain here, just a loose set of workgroup machines. We find that setting up a whole DC and adding all these machines and accounts to a domain is counter productive for us, because we are such a small shop here,
    with nothing to restrict from each other, and we find that adding a domain into the picture complicates things more than it simplifies things. Of course unless someone can make a case why we should just move to being on a DC.

    Hi,
    There have the Browser Elections procedure when you use WINS service, but the WINS service in domain environment and workgroup environment have the different Browser Election.
    By default, all domain controllers in a domain are browser servers.
    You can refer the following KB to understand the procedure:
    Browser Elections
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc959896.aspx
    How Computer Browser Service Works
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc737661(v=ws.10).aspx
    Description of the Microsoft Computer Browser Service
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/188001
    If you install a WINS server the WINS server will handles name registration requests from WINS clients, register their names and IP addresses, and responds to NetBIOS name
    queries submitted by clients, returning the IP address of a queried name if it is listed in the server database.
    WINS provides the following benefits for administering your TCP/IP-based network:
    A dynamic name-to-address database that maintains support for computer name registration and resolution.
    Centralized management of the name-to-address database, alleviating the need for managing Lmhosts files.
    Reduction of NetBIOS-based broadcast traffic on subnets, by permitting clients to query WINS servers to directly locate remote systems.
    Support for earlier Microsoft® Windows® and NetBIOS-based clients on your network, permitting these types of clients to browse lists for remote Windows domains without requiring
    a local domain controller to be present on each subnet.
    Support for DNS-based clients by enabling those clients to locate NetBIOS resources when WINS lookup integration is implemented.

  • Server 2012 R2 + MDT 2013 + WINLOAD.EXE error

    Hi All,
    After watching some videos on MDT 2013 integration with SCCM 2012 I have been testing some builds of Windows Server 2012 R2. The MDT 2013 integration is working well with Database look-ups providing the required rules for customsettings.ini. To coincide
    with the tests I am using the MDT 2013 Server Task Sequence Template.
    Unfortunately I am hitting an error whereby, when using the MDT Task Sequence the full Operating System fails to start with a:
    \Windows\System32\Winload.exe, 0xC000000F, File is Missing or Corrupt
    Note: This is happening when the full OS is starting up. This is not a WinPE startup issue.
    When I use a non-MDT Task Sequence, i.e. a typical task sequence we use for OSD the build process works OK. We still have MDT database integration working in that Task Sequence however.
    Some background info:
    As per our normal process we are using a Windows Server 2012 R2 Capture image. The reference machine was build and capture using a partition scheme of (Partition 1 - 500MB + No Drive Letter + Hidden, Partition 2 - 100% of disk - Drive C:\)
    This is a new SCCM 2012 R2 implementation and as such we installed CU3 as part of our build process. CU4 is yet to be applied.
    Our WinPE Boot Images are WinPE 5 with a build number of 6.3.9600.16384
    As we have an existing SCCM 2007 environment I am currently using USB Boot media to kick off the Task Sequence
    We are only considering a "New Computer" build scenario. The MDT 2013 Task Sequence already detects that because the "_SMSTSinWinPE" = True.
    In both Task sequences the Format and Partition step is as follows:
    Disk 0
    Standard(MBR)
    BDEDrive (Primary) - 499MB, Marked Active with variable BDEDrive assigned
    OSDisk (Primary) - 90GB variable OSDisk assigned
    In both Task sequences the Apply Operating System step is as follows:
    Using Captured Image
    Apply operating system from a captured image (Image 2-2)
    Apply image to Logical Drive (OSDisk)
    In both Task sequences the Apply Data Image step is as follows:
    Using Captured Image
    Image 1-1 (from the same captured image as shown above)
    Apply image to Logical Drive (BDEDrive)
    What has been done so far:
    Already eliminated driver packs as the problem occurs with and without them
    Have monitored the build process (during WinPE that is) to determine what disks and partitions are in play at that stage. The 500MB BDE and 90GB OS Partitions are created as expected. The Apply OS and Apply Data Image steps are applying to the correct partitions.
    I have used the Windows Server 2012 R2 Installation CD and tried to run a bootrec /fixmbr + bootrec /fixboot
    I have used the Windows Server 2012 R2 Installation CD and tried to run a bootrec /rebuildbcd
    I have tried toggling the "OSDPreserveDriveLetter" variable from True to False and back again. Based on my interpretation of the SCCM 2012 R2 + Windows Server 2012 drive letter issue this should be set to True so the capture image drive letters
    are preserved.
    I have disabled an UEFI Partitioning steps just as a precaution.
    There is no Bitlocker steps involved yet.
    I have trawled through the SMSTS.LOG. So far it looks OK to me:

    The fact that our normal Task Sequence works OK eliminates the Capture image and the WinPE boot images. It must be something I have not configured or configured incorrectly in the MDT task sequence.
    Any suggestions would be great.

    Hi,
    If I were you, I would Streamline the MDT Task Sequence to find the root cause.

  • Windows Server 2012/2012R2 NIC Teaming Mode

    Hi,
    Question 1:
    In Windows Server 2012 the following teaming mode was recommended for Hyper-V NIC teams:
    Teaming mode: Switch Independent
    Load balancing mode: Hyper-V Port
    All Adapers Active
    In a session at TechEd 2014 it was stated that Dynamic is the new recommendation for Windows Server 2012 R2. However, a Microsoft PFE stated a few weeks ago that he would still recommend Hyper-V Port for Windows Server 2012 R2. What is your opinions around
    this?
    Question 2:
    We have a Hyper-V Failover Cluster which isn`t migrated to 2012 R2 yet, it`s running 2012. In this cluster we use Switch Independent/Hyper-V Port for the team. We also use converged networking, having 2 physical adapters bound to the NIC team, as well as
    3 virtual adapters in the management OS for management, CSV and Live Migration. Recently one of the team NICs failed, and this incident also caused the cluster membership on the affected node to go offline even though the other team NIC was
    connected. Is this expected behaviour? Would the behaviour be different if 2012 R2 with Dynamic mode was being used?

    Hello,
    As for question number 1:
    For Hyper-V workload it's recommended to use Dynamic with
    Switch Independent mode. Why?
    This configuration will distribute the load based on the TCP Ports address hash as modified by the Dynamic load balancing algorithm. The Dynamic load balancing algorithm will redistribute flows to optimize team member bandwidth utilization so individual
    flow transmissions may move from one active team member to another.  The algorithm takes into account the small possibility that redistributing traffic could cause out-of-order delivery of packets so it takes steps to minimize that possibility.
    The receive side, however, will look identical to Hyper-V Port distribution.  Each Hyper-V switch port’s traffic, whether bound for a virtual NIC in a VM (vmNIC) or a virtual NIC in the host (vNIC), will see all its inbound traffic arriving on a single
    NIC.
    This mode is best used for teaming in both native and Hyper-V environments except when:
    1) Teaming is being performed in a VM,
    2) Switch dependent teaming (e.g., LACP) is required by policy, or
    3) Operation of a two-member Active/Standby team is required by policy. 
    As for question number 2:
    The Switch Independent/Hyper-V Port will send packets using all active team members distributing the load based on the Hyper-V switch port number.  Each Hyper-V port will be bandwidth limited to not more than one team member’s bandwidth because the port
    is affinitized to exactly one team member at any point in time. 
    In all cases where this configuration was recommended back in Windows Server 2012 the new configuration in 2012 R2, Switch Independent/Dynamic, will provide better performance.
    Microsoft recommend for a clustered Hyper-V deployment
    in Windows server 2012 to use Switch Independent/Hyper-V Port as you mentioned and to configure
    Hyper-V QoS that applies to the virtual switch. (Configure minimum bandwidth in
    weight mode instead of in bits per second and Enable and configure QoS
    for all virtual network adapters 
    Did you apply QoS on the Converged vSwitch after you
    created the team?? However Nodes are considered down if they do not respond to 5 heartbeats. The Switch Independent/Hyper-V Port does not cause the cluster to goes down if one NIC failed. The issue is somewhere else and not in the teaming mode
    that you choose.
    Hope this help.

  • SQL Server 2012 Database with FileStream enabled tables

    Hi,
    I have some questions concerning the SQL Server 2012 FileStream feature.
    In a database combining both Filestream connected tables and none filestream connected tables. It is obviously possible to tell the root path to a filestream FILEGROUP. It's also possible to create database primary data file (.mdf) and several
    optional secondary data files (.ndf), and multiple log files.
    If I have two filestream connected tables, which each in turn have a couple of other referenced tables (none filestream connected). Is it possible to put the filestream filegroup1 (eg. the filestream connected table1) and its referenced none filestream connected
    tables, their data, indexes etc., on the same physical data file? And the other filestream connected table and its referenced tables to another physical file (.ndf)? If this is possible and recommended, how do I declare such an create database statement?
    For ex. when having tables for both none archived state, archived state, in the same database. Or is the best solution to split the two (and its referenced tables) in separate databases?
    SWEDEV

    Hello,
    File groups a just contains for the objects, you e.g. can split one table over several file Groups/secondarie files using partitioning. And a filestream is also just a table. You can reference all table Independent of file Groups / file stream.

  • Code Assist in Management Studio - SQL Server 2012

    I'm just getting started with the MS SQL Server 2012 Management Studio. I have been writing SQL for years so the language is not an issue. I am used to an IDE that has a code assistant that offers a list of column names whenever I type a table alias followed
    by a dot anywhere in the select list or where clause, assuming I have assigned that alias in the from clause. I think this is called IntelliSense in SSMS world. Whatever it's called, I'm trying to understand this functionality in SSMS.
    While working on one of my first queries in Management Studio I have seen this behavior a few times, but it seems very sporadic. Sometimes, after I type the alias and a dot and then start typing a column name, I have seen a list of column names from the
    appropriate table, which start with the letters I typed. Sometimes, nothing happens.
    In "the other IDE" if I started typing a column name sooner than a set time (e.g. 500 milliseconds) the code assist would not activate, but I could hit the F6 function key and, hey presto, there's the code assist. Is there a way in SSMS to manually
    activate the code assistant?
    Thanks
    Gregory

    Hi ThatOtherFella'sBrother,
    According to your description, I test the IntelliSense in SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS) and find IntelliSense is work well. Based on my research, there are several potential reasons why IntelliSense doesn't work as below.
    1.Your cursor may be inside a comment or a string literal, where IntelliSense parsing simply doesn't dare to venture.
    2.The insertion point is inside a code comment. IntelliSense options are not available when the insertion point is within a comment in your source file.
    3.The insertion point is inside a string literal.
    4.The automatic options are turned off.
    5.Your script isn't too large. SSMS will not try to parse a script that is larger than the size set in Tools > Options > Text Editor > Transact-SQL > IntelliSense > Maximum script size.
    6.You may have been denied permissions on the object it may reside in a schema to which you don't have access.
    To troubleshoot the issue, please pay attention to the points below.
    1.Make sure to enable IntelliSense following the steps in the article:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173743.aspx
    2.Improve the value of 'Maximum script size' in Tools > Options > Text Editor > Transact-SQL > IntelliSense > Maximum script size if you are working with a very large script.
    3.IntelliSense functionality does not cover database objects created by another connection after your editor window connects to the database. If objects are missing from IntelliSense features such as completion lists, you can choose one of these three mechanisms
    below to refresh the cache of objects for your editor window.
    a.Select the Edit menu, select IntelliSense, then select Refresh Local Cache.
    b.Use the CTRL+Shift+R keyboard shortcut.
    c.Disconnect your editor window from the instance of the Database Engine and reconnect.
    4.Make sure that you have permissions on the object and the schema of the object.
    5.Make sure that the connected instance is SQL Server 2008 or later. Since IntelliSense is only available when the Database Engine Query Editor is connected to an instance of the Database Engine from SQL Server 2008 or later.
    There are two connect items for your reference.

    aside that you need to consider licensing issues.
    if you think your server is able powerful enough to carry the load, then go ahead.
    What services are the VM will be running?
    Network traffic to your server?
    How many users going to connect the server?

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 test question

    Hello!
    There are two servers: DC (domain controller) and Server1, both servers run Windows Server 2012 R2, Server1 runs Core  installation.
    How would you configure DC to remotely view the Event Log on Server1?
    1) Run New-NetIPsecRule command
    2) Run Set-netfirewallProfile  command
    3) Run Get-netfirewallRule command
    4) Run Show-NetIPsecRule command
    To allow remotely view logs on server1 from server2 we must create/enable appropriate INBOUND firewall rule on server1 -
    Q1: No aforementioned command can create/enable inbound firewall  rule
    Q2: It is Server1 that must be configured, not DC
    ...am I right or am I missing anything?
    Thank you in advance,
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    The following command can allow administrator to remotely manage a Server Core installation through all MMC snap-ins:
    Netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group=”remote administration” new enable=yes
    We need to execute the above command at the Server Core command prompt
    Regarding this command, the following blog can be referred to for more information.
    How to Enable Remote Administration of Server Core via MMC using NETSH
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2008/06/05/how-to-enable-remote-administration-of-server-core-via-mmc-using-netsh.aspx
    After successfully executing this command, we can log on to the GUI server, launch Event Viewer, and select the
    Connect to Another Computer… option to remotely connect to the Server Core server.

  • Hyper-V Server 2012 Migration Questions

    Hello All,
    This is my first post here, but I have used these forums many times for information. Sorry in advance for the long post.
    I have a few questions regarding migration to Hyper-V server 2012 for my production environment. I have done quite a bit of reading, but I have a few direct questions and I would like to get some direct answers.
    My current production environment consists of one PowerEdge 2900 with 2 Xeon X5460 Quad Core 3.16GHz CPUs, 24 GB of RAM and a RAID 10 consisting of 8, 500 GB HDDs for a total of 2TB of storage. I am currently running Server 2008 R2 Enterprise w/ GUI as the
    Hyper-V host OS. I have 4 virtual machines all also running Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. The 4 virtual machines consist of 1 domain controller, 1 Exchange Server with Exchange 2010 Standard, 1 Server running SharePoint 2010 Enterprise and the remaining server
    running IIS with FTP and HTTP.
    The network topology is as follows….
    Hopefully it is clear from my diagram that the Hyper-V host OS is connected to the same physical network as the domain, but is not a joined to the domain. I set it up this way because I had concerns about connectivity and manageability because the domain
    controller is a guest VM. Also, the IIS server is on a completely different physical network independent of the domain.
    What I would like to accomplish is the migration of the above environment to Hyper-V Server 2012 as is. I want to keep my existing guest VMs unchanged and running Server 2008 R2 for now as well as keep the existing network topology intact.
    I have 3 additional servers in a separate test environment that would be able to serve as temporary storage or whatever is needed for the migration process.
    Here are the two main things I would like to accomplish with this migration…
    1. Make the transition from Server 2008 R2 to Hyper-V Server 2012 as a host OS.
    2. Migrate virtual hard disks from .VHD to the new .VHDX format.
    All that being said, I have finally come to my questions regarding this process.
    First and foremost, I would obviously need to back up my current setup in case something goes horribly wrong during the migration. My question regarding the initial backup is would it be better to do a bare metal backup of the Hyper-V host or should I do
    individual backups (bare-metal?) of the Guest VMs from within their operating systems?
    Second, since I plan to use Hyper-V Server 2012, I will have to manage the host OS using the RSAT from a domain joined client running Windows 7 Professional. How much of a pain is it going to be to setup RSAT and manage the non-domain joined host from a
    domain joined client? Is there a better way without using SCVMM or using Server 2012 w/ a GUI as the host OS?
    Third, are there any concerns I should have, precautions I should take or procedures I need to do before, during or after the migration regarding the existing VMs and the new virtualized hardware environment on the same physical host?
    Forth, should I use the trial version of SCVMM 2012 SP1 (or another previous version) to perform the migration? What should I be aware of using SCVMM for the migration and then discontinuing its use after the migration is complete and moving to management
    using the RSAT?
    Fifth, if I don’t use SCVMM for the migration, what is the best procedure for moving the VMs? Should I just copy the VHDs to a temporary storage location, install Hyper-V server 2012, copy the VHDs back, create new VMs and attach the VHDs or should I use
    the export/import process?
    Number six, when is the best time to migrate the VHDs to VHDX format and what would be the best method?
    And finally, do I need to worry about USN rollback with a single domain controller? From my reading, this seems to be a point of disagreement. Some people say it could happen while others say it won’t. Is there any point during the migration process where
    it could occur either during the copying of VHDs or from the switch to VHDX?
    Again, sorry for the long post and thanks for staying with me this far. Any information would be much appreciated

    1) As Jens said below with Windows Server 2012 you can simple copy the configuration files and VHDs from a 2008 R2 server to a 2012 server and import them - they one caveat to this is that any vlan configuration is lost and you have to simply re-create it. 
    Optionally you can also export the virtual machines from Windows Server 2008 R2 and then import them on Windows Server 2012.
    2) Remote management in a workgroup does have some caveat's associated with it - take a look at
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/jhoward/archive/2009/08/07/hvremote-refresh.aspx.  Generally I would recommend joining the Hyper-V management operating system to the domain - not just because of these issues but for a number of other features to work properly
    (see below)
    3) I always recommend validating the hardware and environment after the installation before migrating critical workloads to it - testing networking, backup etc... to make sure they function as expected.  Also ensure that you upgrade the integration
    components in the VM's after the migration.
    4) That is an option - though you might find you like SCVMM
    5) Recreating VM's using existing VHD's has some issues for example the BIOS GUID changes, all of the NIC's are re-plug and played etc... When possible copying the configuration or using export is much better.
    6) The sooner the better - VHDx has a number of significant advantages, you can do the migration using the Hyper-V manager UI (edit disk) or via powershell with Convert-VHD.  Do keep in mind that during the conversation you need 2x the space (for the
    original and the new VHDx).
    7) In the past you could get into trouble if you for example snapshotted an AD virtual machine and than reverted it - taking one offline and then brining it back online was never a problem.  In Windows Server 2012 we addressed this with a feature called
    generation ID's.
    Domain considerations...  A few things to keep in mind regarding the choice to not domain join the Hyper-V server.
    - You can't live migrate virtual machines
    - You can't utilize Hyper-V over SMB
    - Management is more difficult and less secure

  • Resizing User Profile Disks in Existing Server 2012 R2 RDS Deployment Question

    Once the initial maximum size is set and the VHDXs have been created in a Server 2012 R2 RDS deployment, will attempting to increase Collection's maximum UPD size by say.. issuing a Powershell command of:
    Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration -CollectionName MySpiffyNewCollection -MaxUserProfileDiskSizeGB 10
    over-write the existing VHDXs instead of simply increasing their size? (max size is currently 5GB)
    I'm not at a point where I can test this in a lab condition to find out, and I have not found this question asked (or at least not definitively answered) in this forum yet.
    -G

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    We can resize the UPD file with below command:
    Resize-VHD –Path c:\BaseVHDX.vhdx –SizeBytes 1TB
    After running this mount the .vhdx file and open disk manager and there will be unallocated disk, and then you can click extend disk/volume and its done.
    You can refer following article for more information.

    Hope it helps!

    I am jsut testing this at home and want it to be similar to work, as we are implementing sharepoint and I want to be somewhat in the know.

    Sounds like you are having some major configuration issues.  Those links are fine.  If you can't get to them, it seems like you are going to have to resolve your networking issue before proceeding.
    If you have no experience in setting a static IP address on a Windows machine, you are going to be having lots and lots of questions.  I would suggest that you locate some step-by-step documents to help you with the basics. this previously posted link
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/22622.building-your-first-domain-controller-on-2012-r2.aspx looks like it should give you the basic.  Nobody is likely to copy and paste the whole article into this forum for you, so you definitely

    This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

    Indeed the 255.255.255.255 subnet mask is expected for non-compliant clients.
    But my issue is that non-compliant clients get an IP address from the entire subnet and i want to assign only a specific
    range in my entire subnet/scope to be assigned to non-compliant clients. 
    It's funny you can specify an IP Address Range in the DHCP policy but then it doesnt work. 
    On the other hand you have a valid point there Greg about DNS/DHCP flooding.
    Still hope to hear why this setup will not work and if it is supported or can work tough :-)

  • Server 2012 R2 SMB - The process cannot access the file '\\server\share\test.txt' because it is being used by another process.

    Hi,
    We are having issues with Server 2012 R2 SMB shares.
    We try to write some changes to a file, but we first create a temporary backup in case the write fails. After the backup is created we write the changes to the file and then we get an error:
    The process cannot access the file '\\server\share\test.txt' because it is being used by another process.
    It looks like the backup process keeps the original file in use.
    The problem doesn't always occur the first time, but almost everytime after 2 or 3 changes. I have provided some code below to reproduce the problem, you can run this in a loop to reproduce.
    The problem is that once the error arises, the file remains 'in use' for a while, so you cannot retry but have to wait at least several minutes. 
    I've already used Process Explorer to analyze, but there are no open file handles. 
    To reproduce the problem: create two Server 2012 R2 machines and run the below code from one server accessing an SMB share on the other server.
    Below is the code I use for testing, if you reproduce the scenario, I'm sure you get the same error.
    We are not looking for an alternative way to solve this, but wonder if this is a bug that needs to be reported?
    Anybody seen this behavior before or know what's causing it?
    The code:
    string file =
    @"\\server\share\test.txt";
    if (File.Exists(file))
    File.Copy(file, file +
    ".bak", true);
    File.WriteAllText(file,
    "Testje",
    Encoding.UTF8);
    The error:
     System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file '\\server\share\test.txt' because it is being used by another process.
