Unable to configure BMR protection on Windows Server 2008 from DPM 2012 r2 server

We are trying to implement BMR and System State protection on our physical servers and have had issues when trying to set it up for a server running windows server 2008. I have verified that the DPM agent is up to date running version 4.2.1273.0. When
configuring the protection group and expanding system protection the only option is system state. When configuring protection on other physical servers running Windows Server 2012 I am able to select bare metal recovery. Has anyone else had this issue and
know how we can resolve this? Thank you for anyone who takes the time to lend a helping hand.

Hi,
Do you have Windows backup feature installed on the server in question?
 Also is the server part of a work group or untrusted domain?

  • Active Directory - Server 2008 R2 and 2012 R2 (Server Formatting or not productive

    Hello guys, I come here to try to clarify a great doubts regarding Server Operating Systems, I will attempt to detail the most of my scenario.
    Suppose I have a Server 2008 R2 in production, and this is my Active Directory server (meudominio.local) and am managing through Group Policy settings my workstations that are around 60-70 computers, guys my doubts the thing is, if I need some time to format
    and perform a fresh installation of my server as it will be my Active Directory? Of course I will have lost my domain controller and I have to accomplish the placement of each workstation again that enters my domain one by one.
    I know there is the option of AD replication, so we call the Active Directory, even for another version of the Operating System, prátia already realized this, but it most often comes not functioning properly, done without replication problems Server 2003 to
    2008 R2.
    Guys like to know a solution to not having to put my plants in my domain network again one by one, is there any way to backup so that when I reinstalled the system and the AD again in my server stations return to "see" again that server as your domain
    controller, even me installing AD with the same domain name before this formatting stations do not respond to this driver in this case do the Network ID or add the station to the area again, so she creates a new user profile for example (Max.meudominio) while
    your old profile "guy" still remains on the machine, I adopted the practice of editing the record of this newly created profile and pointing him well for the old user folder which contains all data and settings, eg edit my key "ProfileImagePath"
    regedit logged in with the newly created profile (Max.meudominio) ->
    (switch "ProfileImagePath" C:\Users\Max.meudominio) thus pointing to the folder before replacing in the field again this season after formatted server, thus ->
    (Switch "ProfileImagePath" C:\Users\Max), detail that we give permission for all such user "C:\Users\Max" folder, after that restart the computer and he comes back with the user profile and all your settings.
    I wonder if there is another method to perform this procedure, do not know even a backup AD to not have to replace all the seasons again "meudominio.local".
    Thank you for your attention!

    As the practice of replication I know her mostly said she has some flaws when I do the replication of my domain to another server but it works correctly, so having a server "master" and the other ServidorBKP as "slave", in redundancy,
    the problem is when I say, and put the "ServidorBKP" being my primary domain controller and disabling my main controller, to disable or turn off my main controller the stations themselves are unable to login because it does not communicate with the
    my ServidorBKP "slave" even I put it as the main driver of course.
    Regarding the System State as far as I know this option existed in Server 2003.
    I also got some information, confer on the links below.

  • Unable to connect to SQL Server 2008 from OBIEE 11G(on 64 bit Linux box)

    We are unable to connect to connect to SQL Server 2008 from OBIEE 11G which is on 64 bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
    Infrastructure: OBIEE 11.1.1.5 64bit, on 64 bit Red Hat Linux Enterprise Linux 5.6 , MS SQL Server 2008 on 64 bit Microsoft Windows Server
    Issue Description: Unable to connect to SQL Server 2008 from OBIEE11G RPD
    Details: We are unable to connect to SQL Server 2008 from OBIEE which is on a 64 bit Linux box. We created the ODBC connection on Linux box to the SQL server. Whenever we try to import metadata it throws an error that says ‘Connection Failed’.
    Here are the steps we followed to setup the ODBC connection on Linux box.
    1) We updated the user.sh file with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 values that point to $ORACLE_HOME/bifoundation/odbc/lib
    This is where we found the driver for SQL server SEmsss23.so.
    2) We updated the odbc.ini file with the entry for SQL server with the connection details
    SI_SQL_Server_DEV = SQL Server
    [SI_SQL_Server_DEV]
    Driver=/u001_OAS/Oracle/Middleware/Oracle_BI1/bifoundation/odbc/lib/SEmsss23.so
    Description=DataDirect 5.1 SQL Server Wire Protocol
    Address=10.230.216.52,54970
    AlternateServers=
    AnsiNPW=Yes
    ConnectionRetryCount=0
    ConnectionRetryDelay=3
    Database=SVBDW_NEW
    LoadBalancing=0
    LogonID=SIDatavalidation
    Password=~~~Password123
    QuoteID=No
    ReportCodePageConversionErrors=0
    3) We updated the IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR with single quotes instead of double quotes in the DB features of the RPD
    4) We updated the bash_profile file to point the ODBCINI variable to the path where the OBIEE odbc.ini file is present.
    Export ODBCINI=/u001_OAS/Oracle/Middleware/instances/instance1/bifoundation/OracleBIApplication/coreapplication/setup/odbc.ini
    The error in nqsserver.log file says “[nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: IM002 code: 0 message: [DataDirect][ODBC lib] Data source name not found and no default driver specified.”

    Hi,
    Make sure SQL Configuration Manager make sure the TCP/IP enabled. please try below method
    Method 1
    Re Create a new ODBC & Oracle Bi Server DSN Configuration test it and use it in the connection pools.
    define your ODBC data source in your server where the BI Server is installed. Check your DB connections in your physical layer and make they are defined on your BI Server as well.
    Method 2:
    try using the complete TNS in below format in the datasource name section:
    (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST =DB IP)(PORT = 1521)) ) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = ORCL) ) and provide the credentials.
    Method 3:
    To use the OCI call interface you need to have oracle client DB to be installed so that you can establish a connection using that DB credentials and connect to the remote dB and then import the tables.....this is the rule of thumb.
    hope helps you.
    Thanks

  • ¿Is it possible to upgrade from SCCM 2012 a domain controller in Windows Server 2008 R2 TO 2012 R2?

    Hi all.

    Hi all.
    I want to know if is it possible to upgrade a domain controller from Windows Server 2008 r2 to 2012 r2 installing from SCCM 2012.
    Thanks.
    Regards.
    Anything is possible if you can script it. You could create a task sequence to do the following (with scripts):
    1. Demote 2008R2 DC to member server
    2. Remove 2008R2 member server from domain
    3. Build new 2012R2 member server and join to domain
    4. Promote 2012R2 member server to DC
    You can do this. However, why would you? Just because you can doesn't mean you should. In my opinion it's more trouble and testing than it's worth. How many times would you need to do this?

  • Is it possible to install and run Windows Server 2008 on a Mac Mini Server in a Virtual Machine software like Parallels

    I am wondering if it is possible to install and run Windows Server 2008 on a Mac Mini Server as a VM as my main application uses Windows VisualBasic and Fox Pro and requires a Static IP to connect to it, My other offices connects to Windows Server via RDP.
    Basically I am researching a Server for the same purpose and since Mac Mini and OsX both are robust in nature it can fit the bill if every thing work fine.
    Thanks

  • Slow applications start from win 2012 file server using win 7 workstations

    I hope someone can help me with why applications are slow to load i have replaced a 8 year old server running  win 2003 and replaced it with dell t620 running win 2012 r2 it is like 20 times faster but it is slower than the old server. the office has
    7 win 7 x64 machines all our applications are running from win 2012 file server. The server is set up as following the server runs with two hyper-v machines one machine runs ad, file server, dhcp, dns and printer server and the other is domino server and remote
    desktop. 
    the machine is more than capable but it is not so i started reading after i run out of ideas. i looked every where but the issue is with the server after trying everything else i did a simple test If i go to the application folder and click on it apps load
    instantly if i then type a unc path it takes from instant load to 3 and a bit seconds the same as the workstations. The same speed if I use ip address.
    network cards are intel
    i would really appreciate if somebody has suggestions that i could try
    thank you

    Hi,
    Do you mean that applications in the application folder start slowly when you access the application folder on the Windows 2012 R2 file server from Windows 7 workstations using UNC path or IP address. Do all the files in the application folder have the same
    issue? Please create a shared folder on the file server, then access the shared folder from Windows 7 workstations to check if the issue still exists.
    You could disable SMBv3 on server 2012 to check if the issue related to SMB protocol.

  • Install Server 2008 DC alongside 2012 DC

    I have a test environment going on and it has Server 2012 DC(Name it 'A') installed. As test, I want to install Server 2008 DC alongside this 'A' server and replicate all data from 'A' server to Server 2008 DC and decommission the 'A' server . And then
    I want to migrate from Server 2008 DC to a new Server 2012 DC. Is this possible? If it is, please let me know the approach to this project. Thanks.  

    You need first to check the following:
    What is your current Domain and Forest Functional levels?
    Is AD Recycle Bin feature enabled?
    If your Domain and Forest Functional levels are Windows Server 2008 then you can add the additional DC and make it a DNS/GC server. Once done, you can transfer FSMO roles and decommission Server A.
    If the your Domain and Forest Functional levels are higher than Windows Server 2008 then, if AD recycle Bin is enabled, you would not be able to lower them more than Windows Server 2008 R2. In this case, you can only add DCs running Windows Server 2008 R2
    or higher. If AD recycle Bin is not enabled then you can lower them to Windows Server 2008.
    The details about how to lower DFL and FFL are mentioned here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/infratalks/archive/2012/12/11/step-by-step-guide-to-lower-active-directory-functional-level.aspx

  • Migrate Server 2008 Certificate Authority To New Server Different Host Name?

    Our internal CA is installed on one of our Exchange servers.  Exchange is being migrated from 2010 to 2013, so all current Exchange servers will decommissioned and replaced with new new Hyper-V VMs with either Server 2008 R2 or 2012 R2 OS. The old VM
    containing Exchange 2010 and the current CA will go away since we cannot afford to use the server resources and use up the required Windows license to keep that server running doing nothing but acting as a CA.
    So, we will either need to move the CA to the new replacement Exchange 2013 server or some other existing server that's being used for something else (maybe one of the domain controllers).
    What is the best way to handle this?  I don't think the migration from Exchange 2010 to 2013 allows for reusing the same host name on the replacement server and if we move the CA to another existing server, it will also be on a server with a new host
    name anyways.
    Can we migrate the CA to a new server with a different host name?
    What about reissuing all the active certificates from the current server to replace them with new certificates from the new server and then decommissioning the original CA?  Can this be automated in some way?
    Which way is best and how would it be done?

    When following the instructions in the guide, I would also consider to switch to new "sanitized" URLs in certificates (CDP and AIA) in case you had used the default URLs now. That's what I did this when migrating W2K3 CAs (with default URLs) to W2K8 R2.
    Per default, the LDAP and HTTP URLs point to the CA server itself (HTTP) or to an LDAP objects that has the same name as the current server.
    Migrating to a new server, you need to make sure that CRLs will still be published to the old locations - thus the new CA server would write to the LDAP object that corresponded to the old server, and HTTP might be fixed by redirecting the DNS record. (Make
    sure this is documented so that nobody thinks it might be a good idea to delete the old object as it "references a server that does not exist anymore".)
    As you have to fiddle with URLs anyway, I would then add new URLs having neutral names - that is URLs not including the name of the CA server. The new CA instance would then 1) publish to the old locations but not add these to certificates anymore and 2)
    publish to new sanitized locations and add them to CDP and AIA URLs.

  • All 30 minutes my Macs (iMac/Snow Leopard, MacMini/Lion) are loosing the connection to the Windows Servers (2 Networks: Home with Home Server 2011 (Server 2008) and Office with Home Server V1 (Server 2003)).

    Hallo,
    Ich betreibe im Büro und zu Hause jeweils einen Microsoft Home Server. In beiden Netzwerken ist neben diversen Windows Rechnern auch ein Mac vorhanden.
    Die jeweilige "Konfiguration" ist wie folgt:
    - Apple MacMini (Late 2011, als HTPC) mit Lion per Wlan über AVM Fritzbox 7390 an Microsoft Windows Home Server 2011 (Windows Server 2008).
    - Apple iMac (Late 2010, Arbeitsplatzrechner) mit Snow Leopard per Lan über AVM Fritzbox 7270 an Microsoft Windows Home Server V1 (Windows Server 2003)
    Alle Betriebssysteme sind auf aktuellem Stand.
    Die Fritzboxen laufen mit der jeweils aktuellen Firmware
    Nun zu dem Problem:
    Beide Macs unterbrechen ca. alle 30 min den Kontakt zum Server. Die Verbindung wird zwar ca. 1-2 Minute später wieder aufgebaut, aber am MacMini (HTPC) macht sich dadurch bemerkbar, daß der Film oder die Musik für obige Zeitspanne stoppt und danach weiterläuft. Beim iMac (Arbeitsrechner) kann ein zuvor vom Server geladenes Dokument dann nicht mehr gespeichert oder gedruckt werden.
    Der MacMini hat dieses Phänomen direkt bei der Verbindung mit dem WHS gezeigt. Der iMac hat jedoch zuvor ca. 1,5 Jahre ohne Probleme funktioniert. Dieses Problem tritt bei dem iMac (Snow Leopard) erst seit ca. 6-9 Monate auf.
    Da unterschiedliche WHS und OS X Versionen betroffen sind und auch unterschiedliche Fritzboxen verwendet werden und scheint ein allgemeines Problem im Zusammenspiel Windows/OS X vorzuliegen.
    Bei dem iMac fällt der genaue Zeitpunkt der Verbindungsunterbrechung nicht auf.
    Bei dem MacMini läßt sich der Zeitpunkt dagegen relativ leicht bestimmen. Aus der Ereignisanzeige beim Windows Server ergibt sich leider kein eindeutiges Fehlerbild. Zu dem jeweiligen Zeitpunkt taucht aber relativ oft, aber nicht immer (!), in "Windows-Protokolle Sicherheit" der Fehler 4625 ("Fehler beim Anmelden eines Kontos") auf. Dies würde auf eine Rechteproblematik hindeuten. Das Konto des Mac kann aber alles was ihm auf dem WHS erlaubt ist.
    Beim Suchen nach einer Lösung (bisher leider erfolglos) bin ich u.a. auch über das Problem des Server Infrastructure License Services (silsvc) beim Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials gestolpert (auch alle 30 min!). Vielleicht ein Zusammenhang?
    Hello,
    I run the office and at home each a Microsoft Home Server. In both networks, in addition to various Windows computers, a Mac is available.
    The particular "configuration" is as follows:
    - Apple MacMini (Late 2011, as HTPC) with Lion via wifi via AVM Fritzbox 7390 to Microsoft Windows Home Server 2011 (Windows Server 2008).
    - Apple iMac (Late 2010, desktop PC) with Snow Leopard by Lan on AVM Fritzbox 7270 on Microsoft Windows Home Server V1 (Windows Server 2003)
    All operating systems on current conditions with all patches and updates.
    The Fritz boxes running with the latest firmware
    Now to the problem:
    Both Macs are loosing every 30 minutes the contact to the server. The connection is "re-"established about 1-2 minutes later. On MacMini (HTPC), the film or music is stopped for the above period. Thereafter, the film / music goes on. With the iMac (workstation) a document loaded from the server can no longer be saved or printed.
    The MacMini has shown this phenomenon directly in connection with the WHS. However, the iMac has been working about 1.5 years with no problems. This problem only occurs for about 6-9 months
    Because of different WHS and OS X versions are affected and also different Fritz boxes are used and it seems to be a general problem in the interplay Windows / OS X to be present.
    When the iMac is the exact date of disconnection does not occur.
    With the Mac Mini, the time can however be determined relatively easily. From the Event Viewer on Windows Server is unfortunately no clear error image. At the particular time but appeared relatively often, but not always (!) In Windows Security Logs the error 4625 (Failed to log on an account) on. This would indicate a rights issue.
    Searching for a solution (so far unsuccessfully, unfortunately), I stumbled over the problem of the Server Infrastructure License Services (silsvc) in Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials (every 30 min!). Maybe a connection?

    Hi, and thank you for your reply!
    My reason for not posting this in the server forum is that I suspect it is a clien issue. All my other clients connect happily to the server which leads me to believe the server is configured correctly.
    Only my the two MacBook Pro's are having problems.

  • Do we need CALS for windows server 2008 R2 and 2012 R2 if 2008 R2 is just a stepping stone?

    We currently have a server on Windows Server 2008 RC SP2 64-bit with approximately 20 clients.
    We want to upgrade to Windows server 2012 R2 but first need to upgrade to Windows 2008 R2 to allow us to do a straight upgrade.
    Is it possible to upgrade to Windows Server 2008 R2 with the 5 CAL's included and then upgradeto 2012 R2 and install 20 new CAL's and keep all users accounts and domain PC's the same? 

    Ok sorry for using the wrong terminology... I was under the impression for each client (Computer) connecting to the server we will need a CAL (Client Activation License) in order for the computer to be a domain PC on the server. Do I need 20 CALS's
    for Windows Server 2008 R2 and then another for Windows Server 2012 R2 if we are only upgrading to 2008 R2 to be able to upgrade to 2012 R2 without having to do a clean install.
    For WindowsServer (Standard edition or Enterprise edition or DataCenter edition), a Client Access License (CAL) is required for each device (if you're using the per-Device CAL licensing method), or, is required for each user (if you're using the per-User
    CAL licensing method).
    (whether you use per-Device, or per-User, is up to you, it comes down to cost).
    CALs are version-specific (to a point) - i.e. if you purchased WS2008 CALs for your 20 devices, for use with your WS2008 server, and you are now upgrading that server to WS2012, you need to upgrade your CALs.
    If you are adding a second server which is WS2012, and you are keeping your WS2008 server, you need to upgrade your CALs (because you only purchased WS2008 CALs which don't grant you the rights to connect to the newer server).
    If you were to install your second server as WS2008, you wouldn't need to purchase additional CALs, because as long as the version is the same, a single CAL grant you access to unlimited server (of the same version).
    CALs can be tricky to correctly license.
    Here's some introductory reading:
    http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/about-licensing/client-access-license.aspx#tab=1
    And, none of this relates to the technical aspects of product installation/configuration at all (e.g. clean install vs. upgrade).
    Windows Server CALs are not license keys/tokens/files which you install/load/download - Windows Server CALs are quite literally paper-based (just like a drivers license or car registration). You are required to have them, to be correctly licensed, but, you
    don't physically do anything with them to own/drive a car.

  • Windows Server 2008 x64 and Crystal Reports Server Embedded

    We're attempting to certify our software with Windows Server 2008 x64 and want to know the best way to configure both the server and client of Crystal Reports Server Embedded.  Currently, our software is certified against Windows Server 2003 x86, and we install Crystal Reports Server Embedded XI Release 2 (no SP) on the application server, and we deploy the Crystal Reports .NET merge modules for XI Release 2 (no SP) on any client machines.
    I believe I am correct in stating that no version of Crystal Reports Server Embedded officially supports Windows Server 2008 x64 (based on some other forum postings) until SP1 comes out (which I don't think has happened at this point).  If that is true, we can live with installing the RAS on a separate Windows Server 2003 x64, if that's even possible.  With that said, can we even get our Windows Server 2008 x64 running with the latest Crystal Reports 2008 .NET merge modules?  We've tried many different configurations between CR XI R2 SPs and CR 2008 for both client and server and have very little luck (either it won't install correctly because of x64 or missing .cabs, etc.) on both the client and server side of things.
    Can someone suggest the optimal configuration when Windows Server 2008 x64 is in the mix, noting that we can use a secondary Windows Server 2003 (x64 preferred but can fallback to x86)?  Or do we have to wait for Crystal Reports Server Embedded 2008 SP1 to be released, and if so, does anyone know of the date?
    Thanks,
    Ross Beehler

    CRSE 2008 is a 32 bit app, it works on 64 bit OS's but all parts must also be running in 32 bit mode.

  • Hide Windows Updates reminders from users on Terminal server sessions

    Windows 2008 Server - Users of the terminal server are getting reminders popping up on their sessions every 4 hours with a prompt to restart and update now, or postpone until later. How can I stop them from seeing these messages?

    I would suggest that you create a GPO for your users, possiblty a loopback as its  a TS but your choice,  and include the following settings.
    Computer Configuration – Policies – Administrative Template –Windows Components – Windows Update
    Configure Automatic Updates: Enabled;
    Allow non-administrators to receive update notifications: Disable;
