Transferring PDC Emulator and Time Server Roles to New 2008 R2 DC

We are upgrading our Windows 2000 domain to Windows 2008 R2, and I introduced the first 2008 R2 domain controller into the environment. Currently the PDC emulator role is running on a Windows 2003 DC, which is configured to sync its time with external time
servers.
My question is very similar to what was asked in the following post:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserverNIS/thread/a58660fe-72c7-4e44-b6cb-ba885b676286
However, what I would like to know is if I should first transfer the PDC emulator role before performing the instructions shown in the thread?  Or do I transfer the PDC emulator role after running the commands shown in the thread that are to be run
on the old PDC emulator? Hopefully that makes sense.
Thank you.

Hi,
You may perform the following steps:
1.   
On the old PDC Emulator, run the following commands:
w32tm /config /syncfromflags:domhier /reliable:no /update
net stop w32time
net start w32time
2.   
Transfer the PDC Emulator to the new Domain Controller.
3.   
On the new PDC Emulator, run the following command:
w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:PEERS /syncfromflags:manual /reliable:yes /update
Please set for
PEERS the time source as listed above, either with it’s IP address or DNS name. If more than one is needed separate them with a space in between and don't forget the quotes: "time.domain.com time1.domain.com".
For more information, please refer to the following Microsoft KB article:

  • Apple Remote Desktop - how to change the date and time server ip address?

    Our imacs keep getting out of synch with our Windows Active Directory server and when they do, users can no longer log into the imacs. The imacs this morning were more than 5 minutes fast, for example.
    So, we have changed the date and time server on one of our imacs to our internal time server and that works fine. Now I would like to update all of the other imacs using a unix command in ARD. Can anyone tell me how to send this change? For this message, let's say our internal time server is 172.30.100.100

    Not a problem. There are a number of other system and network setup commands that you might find useful at some time. From within the Remote Desktop Admin in the Send Unix Command window type:
    networksetup -help
    systemsetup -help
    That will give you lists of the commands, including the one I posted above, with their basic syntax. They're handy to know.
    Cheers.

    Anybody ever get any events like this before? I'm not finding much or nothing on Google or on other forums, so I thought I would run it past and see if anyone has experienced anything of a similar
    nature. And yes, the farm account obviously has creator/secadmin permissions, at this point of our deployment....
    I look forward to any and all feedback. Thanks and good afternoon!

    I figured out the answer to this myself. For those few who might run into something akin to my error...
    During the off-hours of where I work, I re-applied the farm account credentials to all dB server VM SQL services that had the account for a log-on (i.e., MSSQLSERVER, SQLSERVERAGENT, etc.) as well as all SharePoint services on our WFE/App Server VM (a two
    server farm is what we host), in that order. Then I rebooted the dB server first, followed by the SharePoint server. Upon coming back, everything was working fine again. I was able to provision a site, no probelm, and it seemed to even be a little snappier
    when doing so.
    One note: doing this procedure gave me a "One or more services have started or stopped unexpectedly" error in the Health Analyzer, for the SPTimerV4 service. When you get this, simply enter into the item and click on "Reanalyze Now;" this will quickly clear
    the error out of the Analyzer, and all should be right with the world! :)

  • On powering up I got a message date and time were changed to before 2008. Why would this happen?

    I used the computer this morning to check email.  Shut it down and powered back up this afternoon and a box appeared telling me the date and time were set for before 2008 (actually for 12/31/2000) and needed to be reset.  Why would this happen?

    No, it had 3:30 hours left.  I make it a point of not letting it drain.  I haven't had a problem since then, so I'm hoping all is ok.  Thanks

  • 2008 R2 PDC with DNS, File and Print Server Roles

    Hi all,
    we have a brand new Canon iRA7260 setup on 2008 R2 print server, which is also our DC, DNS, DHCP and File Server with latest PCL5c drivers downloaded from Canon's website as recommended at that time by the canon technician who assembled the
    machine. All our laptops and desktops are running Windows 7 64-bit and after creating a GPO everyone got connected to the printer no problem, the printer has a static IP, same subnet as the print server and PDC, printer's port has been setup to RAW
    and to spool documents, driver isolation setup to default.
    All users are setup for secure print, so every print job they send to the printer stays on the printer until they walk up to the machine and release it by punching in a department's pin. Everything works great except for every morning a get a few complaints
    that the jobs sent to the printer did not appear in the secure print folder. There is no errors of any kind on workstations and all I see in the print job logs on the print server is that document been spooled, printed and deleted. The strange thing is that
    the size of the document that disappears is always shown as 0 bytes in size and 1 page long. And the whole process of spooling printing and deleting happens within 1 second according to logs. There is no errors or warnings in the log except for informational
    events.
    I just discovered that what actually fixes this issue for me is not even restarting the print spooler on the print server, but just login into the print server from my workstation via RDP with admin credentials. Once I login into the server remotely,
    every print job sent to the printer afterwards from every workstation in our office appears as usual in users secure print mailboxes. Users don't even have to reboot their work stations, everything just starts working as usual. There is no overnight activities
    on that server as all our staff leaves the offices by 8 p.m. the latest and the only thing that is running overnight is the Symantec's Backup Executive backup jobs. Is it possible that a back up job could somehow affect the print server/print driver settings
    or put it into a "sleep" mode so it would require a domain admin login to the server to bring it back into operational state?

    Hi, the print server had default permissions set after the role was installed. I just added domain users and authenticated users with print and view server rights. I don't think this is a problem though because Samsungs Brothers and Xerox printers
    are working. It looks like some process that runs at night on the print server disallows users to print to the Canon printer when they come in in the morning. Login remotely with admin credentials into the 2008 R2 that has print server role installed and this
    canon printer deployed via GPO fixes this immediately for all users. After the printer works fine until the last staff leaves the office. However when I come in in the morning everyone reports to me the same problem which again I'm able to fix by login with
    my domain admin credentials. Could this be due to some special permissions that canon drivers require to be added that I'm not aware of? Or could this be caused by the overnight Backup Executive 2010 R3 backup job that kicks in at 9 p.m. every night?
    Thanks

  • Does clustered MSDTC require Application Server role in Windows 2008 R2?

    I'm reviewing a windows 2008 R2 2-node Active/Passive cluster which has clustered MSDTC and SQL Server.   The strange thing is that Application Server role is not installed. I thought MSDTC requires Application Server role in order to be
    clustered.

    Hi Mark,
    I look into this more and it seems to me the Application Server role (at least for the Distributed Transactions area) is just another way to configure Distributed Transaction Coordinator instead of using the Component Services Administrative Tool.  
    Also, the configuration has nothing to do with clustering.   So, MSDTC requires configuration regardless of clustering or not and the configuration can be done through Application Server role and/or Component Services Administrative Tool.  
    Is my understanding correct?
    Thanks.

  • Transferring Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom from Macbook to new Imac

    Hello all,
    I am currently running Photoshop CS4 extended version 11.0.1 and Lightroom version 2.3 on an early Macbook model 1.1, I have the original install disks for Lightroom, but when upgrading to CS4 extended I downloaded the upgrade from the Adobe website. I am receiving a new Imac this month and would like to explore my options for correctly transferring (migrating?) these programs to the new Imac. My search on this forum reveals that migration assistant may not be the best option for these two programs, any insight is appreciated.

    LR won't be a problem, just install it on the new computer. As long as you don't use them on both systems at the same time you won't violate the licensing terms.  If you LR was an update you will also need the key from the 1.x version.
    For PS CS4 just run it on the MacBook and de-activate it (Help->Deactivate...). Then download the PS CS4 package from Adobe and install it on your new system using the same license keys you used to install it on the MacBook. Since you indicated you upgraded to CS4 (from what version you didn't say) you will need the license key from the original (CS, CS2, CS3??) and the license key to the upgrade to CS4.
    After installation of PS CS4 you may also need to manually install updates as it is often the case that the Adobe updater doesn't recognize the fact that updates are available.

  • How do I connect Airport Extreme and Time Capsule to my new iMac so that AE is used for network and TC only used for Time Machine backup?

    I didn't realize that Time Capsule will only support the print function of a wireless multifunction printer.  So I want to use Extreme for my network to have full use of my printer and use TC as the Time machine backup only.  How to I make the connections?

    Thanks for your response and this is getting complicated but I just purchased a new iMac as well as the Airport TC.  I've had the Airport Extreme for a year or so.  The Airport Extreme worked perfectly with my old iMac wirelessly and I had all functions of my printer with no problems.  I was expecting the same with the TC.  But the instruction that came with TC say to connect the printer to the TC via USB...which I did.  And the print function worked perfectly but nothing else.  In researching I discovered that when wired that way the TC only supports the print function...not scan or fax or anything else.  I tried going wireless since my AE worked perfectly via wireless but I got no printer functions at all that way.  But I'm wondering also if I tried that during a time I was having other issues...I had to delete and re-add my printer which solved some other problems.  I may try that again...and see if I can get all print functions with just the TC connected
    As far as connecting both your AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule on your network, we're not clear on exactly how you want to do this.  Will the AirPort Extreme connect to your modem using an Ethernet cable and the Time Capsule connect to the AirPort Extreme using an Ethernet cable?.......or......do you want the Time Capsule to connect to the network using wireless?
    Well... first of all I would like not to have to use the AE at all...I would prefer using just my TC for network, all print functions and Time Machine backup if that's possible. My printer will not accept Ethernet connections (Canon MX512).
    After failing at getting this to work, I decided I would try to use my AE for net and print functions and just use my TC for Time Machine backup.  I tried several different connection configurations with no success until finally I connected cable modem to my AE via Ethernet and went wireless with the AE and printer. but connected the AE to the TC via Ethernet and amazingly everything worked like a charm (for a while) and I was patting myself on the back for being so smart.  But now I find that the connection only lasts for a short time.  If I leave it for a while the TC goes invisible...or at least I see a message saying the Ethernet is unplugged...but it is not... and I lose internet connection even though I have a green light on my AE. So now I'm at a loss. I don't know why I keep losing network signal and why my system thinks the Ethernet is unplugged.
    So... after all this...I figured I wasn't so smart after all and I must have things wired incorrectly.
    So... it sounds like you are saying I should go back and try again to get my new TC to work as I want it to via wireless instead of connecting via USB...is that correct?  Could you tell me exactly how I should wire my equipment from cable modem to AE and/or TC to achieve net capability, full functions of my printer and Time Machine backup...
    Thanks...

  • MacBook Pro and Time Capsule after adding new wireless router

    I have a MacBook Pro and Time Capsule (which functions wirelessly to router and computer). I added a new wireless router (netgear, not my idea) and had to change name of wireless network. Now Time Capsule flashes amber and does not show up in Airport Utility.
    Do I have to set up Time Capsule from scratch? If so, if you can aim me to directions I won't have to waste tech support's time.
    My additional question on a similar vein: I also have a Time Capsule (second time capsule) which is plugged into the wireless router using ethernet cable for use with a windows notebook running windows 7 which backs up wirelessly. Do I have to change anything on this Time Capsule (second Time Capsule) as a result of change in name of network (I've already adjusted computer to connect to network)?

    Hi DD,
    If you don't get answers here, try posting in the Time Capsule forum (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1253) and/or the Time Machine forum (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1342).

  • Seize PDC emulator on DR AD and suddenly primary PDC emulator is also up

    Hi Experts,
    We have primary and DR site, both sites are having domain controller, there are no roles on DR site AD, all FMSO roles are on primary site AD.
    My question is stupid but I just want to understand.
    What if we have faced the NIC problem on a DC who is having a pdc emulator at primary site and because of that we have seized PDC emulator role to a DR Site AD and after few hours NIC started to get working on the pdc emulator and at the end
    there are two AD servers who are working as PDC emulator then what will happen, will the old PDC emulator it self will know and will change or do some thing, I mean what will be the behaviour and what actions should be taken and what could harm in this scenario.
    Thanks.

    Never, Never I cannot stress this enough Never....allow the old PDC reconnect after it has been seized. Remove it immediately from the network. The OS will have to be reinstalled on the old PDC as it will be very difficult to demote that PDC when off the
    network.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/255504/en-us
    Here is a copy of comments I made some time ago on the site:
    "A domain controller whose FSMO roles have been seized should not be permitted to communicate with existing domain controllers in the forest. In this scenario, you should either format the hard disk and reinstall the operating system on such domain controllers
    or forcibly demote such domain controllers on a private network and then remove their metadata on a surviving domain controller in the forest  by using the
    ntdsutil /metadata cleanup command.  The risk of introducing a former FSMO role holder whose role has been seized into the forest is that the original role holder may continue to operate as before until it inbound-replicates knowledge
    of the role seizure. Known risks of two domain controllers owning the same  FSMO roles include creating security principals that have  overlapping RID pools, and other problems. "
    You do not want duplication of the security principles.

  • Configure Domain Controller ( PDC emulator) as NTP source for Cisco switch 6509

    Hi All,
      My Org consists of 2 DC one Physical and One Virtual. All Roles are on Physical machine. I ran a W32tm /Query /Configuration command  on PDC emulator and the results are confusing.My PDC is using time source VMICTimeProvider a syou can see below.
    VMICTimeProvider (Local)
    DllName: C:\Windows\System32\vmictimeprovider.dll (Local)
    Enabled: 1 (Local)
    InputProvider: 1 (Local)
    My first Question is that Is it Ok for PDC emulator to use this time source or should I change to some Other source like pool.ntp.org or time.windows.com,0x1.
    My Second Question is that I  have a core switch cisco 6509 and I want this switch to use my NTP server (PDC emulator ) as NTP source,but at present I cannot as I am getting this error on switch.(no select intersectionTP )
    Can Any one help ... Its is urgent
    Thanks in Advance

    You should not make your DCs sync their time with your Hypervisor. This usually ends with time synchronization problem so I would recommend to disable that on your DCs and domain joined VMs and use an external NTP server to sync time on your PDC while using
    your AD forest topology for time sync on other DCs and domain-joined computers.
    I have already started a Wiki article that describes how to configure time sync in an AD domain and you might consider using the GPO configuration option that is stated: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/18573.time-synchronization-in-active-directory-forests.aspx
    For the CISCO switch, I would recommend asking them in CISCO forums.

  • Preinstaller failing at install Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role

    Hi, 
     I am trying to install SharePoint 2013 on Windows 2008 R2. I have database MS SQL Server 2012 on the same machine itself. My SharePoint Preinstaller fails at installing Application server and Web server roles.. Even though the roles get created, they
    don't complete because ASP.Net activation fails. Here is my log:

    Please help!!!  I am going on 9 days now trying to install SharePoint 2013 onto a VM.  I have tried Hyper-V and VMWare and am getting the same result with both.
    Running Windows 8.1  with 16 GBs of RAM.
    The pre-req installer will not install anything!!  And I get this error:
    The tool was unable to install Application
    Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role
    So I installed the Web Server IIS Role and restart...   still no luck
    Then I ran this command: 
    C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe -i -enable
    And get this message: "This option is not supported on this version of the operating system. Admins should instead install/uninstall ASP.NET 4.5 with IIS8 using the "Turn Windows Features On/Off dialog....
    9 days of cussing and pulling my hair out...  please someone help..  I just want to run the Pre-Req installer and install SharePoint on a VM Machine. 
    Any help would be appreciated!!  Thanks in advance!
    I just want to confirm that I'm facing exactly the same problem.
    Currently, Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 is not supported for installation on computers running the Windows Server 2012 R2 operating
    system.
