Upgrade to Server 2012 R2 domain controllers from 2003
I am at a loss as to what I did wrong here. Everything seems to be working fine except for one subnet (which is behind a hardware firewall).
We had two Server 2003 domain controllers and one of them was failing. I raised the forest functional level of our old primary domain controllers to 2003. I built the first replacement Server 2012 R2 domain controller. Added the AD DS roles
and promoted it as a domain controller. I let it sit for a couple days. The FSMO roles were currently being handled by our other 2003 domain controller. Once this had been sitting for a while (don't recall how long) I ran dcpromo on the failing
server and demoted it. Once demoted I shut it down and pulled it out of the rack. I then built our second 2012 R2 server and gave it the same IP as the failing one. Installed the AD DS roles and integrated DNS as prompted by the wizard.
I then made it the operations master for Schema master, Domain naming master, PDC, RID pool manager, and Infrastructure master. Then I ran dcpromo on the second 2003 domain controller to demote it and removed it from the network. I then demoted
the first new controller (DC03) changed the hostname and IP to the name and IP of the second 2003 controller and promoted it again. I'm not sure at what point things broke, but everything works from the same subnet that the domain controllers are in,
just not a second subnet that is through a hardware firewall. I don't see anything getting blocked while watching firewall logs so I don't think the firewall is the issue.
Here is the dcdiag and ipconfig from the first controller (which has all 5 FSMO roles).

I forgot to mention that after the 2003 domain controllers were out of the environment, I raised the domain and forest functional level to 2012 R2. All clients in the environment are Windows XP Pro or above. The XP Pro boxes will be going away as
soon as our vendor supports their software to run on Windows 7.
We now have 2 2012 R2 DCs. The 2003 DCs are gone. Metadata from the old DCs is all cleaned up. DNS seems to be working fine in 3 out of 4 subnets. The 4th is behind a hardware firewall and I can see the IP address of the machine I am trying to bind to the
domain connecting to the two new domain controllers but the client machine that is trying to bind gives an error. An Active Directory Domain Controller for the domain wgd.inet could not be contacted. It seems that this is just a DNS issue for one
particular subnet (10.240.2.0/24). This subnet is setup in AD Sites and Services\Sites\Subnets\10.240.2.0/24 (Site: Default-First-Site-Name).
When trying to do anything with nslookup from the 10.240.2.0/24 subnet it times out. The route is there and I can watch it connect through our hardware firewall over port 53.

Server 2012 R2 Domain Controllers stop accepting log in and replication failure.
We have recently completed a Domain upgrade to 2012 R2 AD DS from native 2003 AD. The issue we are experiencing is that for seemingly no reason the 2012 hosts will randomly stop accepting (RDP) logins and we see replication failures. We also cannot
otherwise remotely manage the host (remote service management etc...). The only way I've been able to recover from this condition is to restart the affected host, after which (RDP) logins are again accepted and successful replication starts again.
Logs aren't showing any issues prior to the issue happening and it is not specific to one host. I have been digging around to find a solution to this abnormal behavior but as yet haven't come across anything specific to what I am seeing.
Domain level is 2008 R2 and our few remaining 2008 R2 hosts never experience this. Only seems to be the 2012 hosts and randomly among all the DCs. Not one specific 2012 host is affected.
We have 20 DCs total.
Are there any known issues? Any advice on what I may be able to look at?
We are otherwise healthy aside from this intermittent replication/login issue.This sounds more like a network type issue than AD type problem.
Are any firewalls in the way?
Do the servers respond to a ping when they are not responding to RDP.
What are you seeing in event logs prior to the change.
Are the servers physical or virtual? Are you able to get onto the console - either through your HyperVisor or through ILO type management?
Thanks

Configuring group policy for user profiles in Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain
Requesting some experts advise on configuring group policy for user profiles.
We will be building new Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain Controllers (Domain of 400 users).
The settings which I am concerned:
1. Folder Redirection: Desktop, Documents, Favorites.
2. Quota for Folder Redirection - 1 GB per user.
3. Map a networked drive - 1 GB per user.
4. Roaming profile - (Will ignore if it does not suit our requirement).
The question is how outlook profile will be retained / automatically moved if the users move from once computer to other?
FYI, E-mails hosted on MS Office365 and OST file size of few users more than 25GB. So, in case the user moves from one computer to other, the entire mailbox will be downloaded via internet. This consumes high bandwidth if more than 3-4 users shift per day.
Thanks a lot for your valuable time and efforts.Hi,
>>The question is how outlook profile will be retained / automatically moved if the users move from once computer to other?
This depends on where our outlook data files are stored. If these data files are stored under
drive:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local, then these files can’t be redirected, for folder redirection can’t redirect appdata local or locallow.
However, regarding your question, we can refer to the following thread to find the solution.
Roam outlook profiles without roaming profiles

In addition, regarding how to configure folder redirection, the following article can be referred to for more information.

Exchange 2007 RTM support with Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain Controller
Hi All,
I have not found any TechNet Article which states about the Windows Server 2012 R2 Active Directory domain controller operating system support with Exchange 2007 RTM, can some one please let me know that does Exchange 2007 RTM supports Windows Server 2012
R2 domain controller operating system, we are in the process of upgrading the domain controllers to 2012 R2 but not the forest and domain functional level to 2012 R2.
thanks
If answer is helpful, please hit the green arrow on the left, or mark as answer. Salahuddin | Blogs:http://salahuddinkhatri.wordpress.com | MCITP Microsoft LyncThere are several likely reasons for this. The most significant is that Exchange 2007 RTM is no longer supported (outside ot extended support, which is not going to include adding support for new operating systems):

Exchange 2007 with windows 2012 R2 domain controllers environment.
Hello,
I am planning to upgrade to AD windows 2012 R2 from 2008 in 2003 on funtional level for domain and forrest, my question is, is 2007 exchange (Version build: 08.03.0245.001) supported on 2012 R2 domain environment on 2008 funtional level?
I am planning to upgrade exchange later in december to exchange 2013 but not now.
Thanks in advanceHello,
At present, there is no official article to verify whether exchange 2007 is supported on windows server 2012 R2 domain.
But I agree with damird's suggestion.
And you don't install exchange 2007 on windows server 2012 r2.

Unable to edit Default Domain policy on Server 2012 R2 domain controller
Hello,
I recently built a Server 2012 R2 domain controller and added it to my domain. When trying to edit the default domain policy I get the following error:
I can make edits to other GPO objects. All the other domain controllers are Server 2008 and are able to edit that GPO. The issue is on the Server 2012 box only. I've checked the delegated permissions, I'm a domain admin, and have opened
GPMC as administrator. Does anyone know what I'm missing? Thank you for your time.
TinoHi Tino,
>>Could that be the problem?
I don't think so, for we can still use FRS to replicate Sysvol. However, it is recommended that we use DFSR to replicate Sysvol if our domain
function level is Windows Server 2008 or above.
Besides, we can follow the suggestions from the following thread to check out which replication mechanism we are using.
DFS-R on 2008 R2 by default?
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/8f2042d3-193d-4414-b9da-cbcedc6a4c32/dfsr-on-2008-r2-by-default?forum=winserverDS
If the Sysvol is replicated by FRS mechanism, as I suggested in the last reply, we can do a non-authoritative restore for the Sysvol on the new Windows
Server 2012. This will restore the Sysvol from a healthy DC.
To perform a nonauthoritative restore, stop the FRS service, configure the BurFlags registry key, and then restart the FRS service. To do so:
1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type cmd and then press ENTER.
3. In the Command box, type net stop ntfrs.
4. Click Start, and then click Run.
5. In the Open box, type regedit and then press ENTER.
6. Locate the following subkey in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters\Backup/Restore\Process at Startup
7. In the right pane, double-click BurFlags.
8. In the Edit DWORD Value dialog box, type D2 and then click OK.
9. Quit Registry Editor, and then switch to the Command box.
10. In the Command box, type net start ntfrs.
11. Quit the Command box.

Add Windows Server 2012 R2 domain controller to Windows 2008 R2 domain
Hi,
Have today 2 x Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controllers, and domain and functional level 2008 R2.
We now want to replace these DC`s with Windows Server 2012 R2.
My plan is as follow
- Install and promote a Windows Server 2012 R2 as a 3 DC`s with a temporary hostname and IP as DC3
- Install and promote a second Windows Server 2012 R2 as a 4 DC`s with a temporary hostname and IP as DC4
- Decomiss DC1 and remove this host. Change the IP and hostname of the new DC3 to DC1
- Move FSMO roles from DC2 to DC1 and decomiss DC2
- Change the IP and hostname of the new DC4 to DC2
Will this be a ok progress ? I will offcours to have the DC`s replicate information between them before doing each task.
/Regards AndreasHi,
Only error i got running dcdiag was the following

Is this a problem ?

How can I upgrade Windows Server 2012 Essentials to Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials?
I have just installed Windows Server 2012 Essentials on my Home Network (from the installation DVD). I have done absolutely no configuration Installing Server 2012 was an oversight; I meant to install Server 2012 R2 Essentials.
I tried to correct by installing R2 from its DVD, hoping it would do an upgrade. That didn't work.
Is there a simple way to make it possible to install the correct OS? For example, can I just demote the existing server and remove any roles that were installed, so that the R2 disk will install over top of the existing installation?
Alternatively, is it safe to just reformat the partition and install R2?
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn408635.aspx seems to imply that this is OK.
David Pike, P.Eng, MCITPHi Larry. Thanks for the reply. It didn't work, but I don't believe you are wrong. Rather I think there is something weird in my system. I'm marking your reply as answer.
Some background: I'm repurposing an older PC (Compaq SR1614X) as a home server, to manage my home network, use as a gateway to my Azure server, and to help my Server 2012 training (on MVA). I've been messing with it for nearly two months,
on and off. From the start, I've had trouble installing the server 2012 software (see previous threads August-27 and August-16
), but when I got to the point that I could install Server 2012 Essentials, I thought I could upgrade to Server 2012 R2 Essentials exactly as you suggest. That was where you helped me a lot, i.e. you confirmed that my expectations were reasonable.
So when it didn't work, I spent most of yesterday trying various different procedures. I got tantalizingly close, but still no cigar.
I can install any Windows Client and Server 2012 Essentials, but the R2 Essentials installation never finishes; it goes into an "error 0x000000C4" boot loop. At first I wondered if it was because I was installing a server over a
server, but you confirmed that's not the issue. I later verified that I cannot install R2 over Windows 7 either, whereas R1 over Win7 is fine. I can only surmise one of two problems:
I have a bad installation disk
There is a hardware issue
I plan to eliminate (1) by creating a new disk from a new download. I have verified that the latest ISO file and the one I have been using have identical byte counts,
For (2), I had suspected that the problem was that the older system has no UEFI, but since R1 installs OK, I am discounting that. Today's effort: to eliminate the DVD drive, I will try booting from a Flash Drive. To eliminate
the hard drive, I will try installing to a different drive.
I am hoping you can help with one more thing. When I run setup.exe with the /noreboot option, I have a better chance of success. The option suppresses the first reboot only, but that one (after "Expanding the setup files") always
fails, so suppressing it gets me almost to the end of the install. Is there a way to modify setup.exe so the it always runs with the /noreboot option? -
Upgrade to server 2012 standard
Hello
I am currently running Server 2012 Essentials and want to upgrade to Server 2012 Standard.
I have downloaded the 2012 Standard trial ISO and would like to know where to from here? I have done a bit of reading about upgrading essentials 2012 whereby I understand one can do it from PS using a command. What I am not clear about is how I can get server
2012 std onto the server to upgrade? Or is the PS command taking care of that in that it installs 2012 std onto the server?
I had a look at this

and the last post is exactly what I too need to know.
Can someone please advise what steps I need to take to get server 2012 std running?
TIAHi,
Here is the detailed steps to transit from Windows Server 2012 Essentials to Windows Server 2012 Standard, you could refer to it to perform the transition. Hope it helps.

----Tanu---1. Yes
2. No it's not free you have to buy the upgrade, unless you are already paying for Software Assurance.

NW 6.5.8 CIFS access from Server 2012 R2 (domain auth)
Need to access (without installing client) NW 6.5.8 server from Server 2012 R2.
Up to Server 2008 R2 Domain authentication works perfectly fine, on 2012 R2 I managed to get it working a couple of times, never again. Reverting to eDir authentication with SMB Signature disabled works (can access shares fine)
Is that known issue? (not that I would expect any fix for an obsolete OS)

DNS EventID 4015 on PDC since Domain Migration from 2003 R2 = 2012
Hi,
following problem here:
2 Domain Controllers with AD Integrated DNS Zone, migrated from 2003 R2 to 2012. One Single Root Forest.
The Primary Domain Controller shows every 2, 3 or 4 hours the DNS EventID 4015. No further error is available: (which is may emty) "".
Only on the Details pane you can find this Information:
======================================
- System
- Provider
[ Name] Microsoft-Windows-DNS-Server-Service
[ Guid] {71A551F5-C893-4849-886B-B5EC8502641E}

======================================
The Migration was made by the following steps:
Bring Up the first 2012 MigrationDC as 3rd DC to the Domain.
Move the FSMO Roles to the 2012 MigrationDC
DHCP Data migrated with Server Migration Tools, IAS Data with iasmigrader.exe exported
DCPromo DC1 (2003 R2) and Format C:
Install a fresh 2012 Installation on old DC1 an rename it again with the original Name DC1
DHCP Data migrated with Server Migration Tools, IAS Data with iasmigrader.exe exported
DCPromo DC2 (2003 R2) and Format C:
Install a fresh 2012 Installation on old DC2 an rename it again with the original Name DC2
Move Back the FSMO Roles to DC1
DCPromo the first 2012 MigrationDC
Metadata Cleanup for MigrationDC
DCDIAG /V /C Shows no Errors, all works good, the funny Thing is, that only DC1 Shows the DNS EventId 4015 in production evironment. The only exception is, that if you reboot DC1 (i.e. for maintenance, upates etc) than the error appears on DC2. Exactly on
that time, if DC1 is temporarily not availble and DC2 is under "load". If DC1 is back again, the Event 4015 Ends on DC2 and Comes back to DC1!!!
I backupped and restored DC1 and DC2 in an lab Environment, the funny Thing is that the EventID 4015 doesnt appear in lab Environment. The difference between prod and lab is: prod is bare metal with 2 teamed nics, lab is hyper-v vm's with 2 virtual teamed
nics. same IP's etc... DNS NIC Settings are the same.
It Looks like you can only produce the error in the production lab if you have the DC under "load".
This Event was discussed here more than one time in the Forum, but the issues doesnt match 100% to my Problem. No RODC is available in my prod Environment, the EventID 4015 has no further Errors "" in the Eventlog like in other Posts.
Ace Fekays blog :" Using ADSI Edit to resolve conflicting or duplicate AD Integrated Zones" was helpful for metadata cleanup, but it could not fix the EventId 4015 away. Because we had no Problems with disappearing zones...
Maybe Enabling NTDS Verbose Logging in the registry is helpful, but i dont know for what i have to Keep an eye out?
The thread
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/c0d3adb4-67d2-470c-97fc-a0a364b1f854/dns-server-error-event-id-4015-after-replacing-domain-controller-with-another-using-same-name?forum=winserverDS seems to match to my Problem, but also no
soulution available...
Any ideas what causes this "ugly" Event without noticable consequences?Zonenname

Bind Mavericks to Windows Server 2012 R2 domain
I have a Windows 2012 R2 domain controller (only one in the domain) with the forest and domain in native (not mixed) mode.
I am trying to bind a Mavericks Macbook Pro to the domain.
I have checked that I can ping the domain and domain controller by name and IP address.
I have set the NTP on the Macbook to use the domain controller as the time source.
I even set the "Prefer this domain server" to the domain controller.
When I attempt bind the Macbook, the time tested message of "Authentication server could not be contacted."
Any suggestions? Something about Windows Server 2012 R2 that I am missing? I admit that I am just learning Windows
Server 2012 R2, so it is possible my lack of knowledge of it is the adding to the problem.
Thank you in advance!I have 3 Server 2012 DC's here on my network. No issues binding Macs to the DC. I haven't had the time to roll out R2 DCs yet, but will be doing so shortly as I am now done with some other upgrades. I would roll out one right now so I can test this for you, but don't have the time...sorry man.
One of the most important thing with AD is DNS. 1 of my 3 AD's is my DNS and DHCP server. I have not had to mess with any special settings, just let my Mac get it's IP from the DC and then bind away. Are your windows machines (if you have any) on the same LAN able to bind? Also make sure the account you are logged into the mac with is an Admin on the local mac.
Remove all the custom info you put in, keep it simple, I have never had to fill in any of those details, and make sure you use the FQDN of your DC (host.domain.com). Once you put in the FQDN, does the utility recognize the Domain and then ask for the AD admin credentials? If yes, then thats a good sign.
Let me know if it's still not working. Also make sure you are using the correct login and password, the admin of your DC.
Is your DC virtual or Physical? Do you have the firewall enabled on your DC? Are you using wireless or wired?
I'm sure you will get this... S12R2 is really sweet, all my Hyper-V hosts are S12R2. -
Server 2012 R2 - No response from the UmRdpService service and more...
Hi!
We have a Remote Desktop Services Deployment with the following:
LIC01 – Windows 2012 R2 - Licensing
RDCB01 – Windows 2012 – Connection Broker
RDWA02 – Windows 2012 R2 – Web Access
RDG01 – Windows 2012 R2 - Gateway
RDG02 – Windows 2012 R2 - Gateway
RDG03 – Windows 2012 R2 – Gateway
RDSH01 – Windows 2012 R2 - Session Host
RDSH02 – Windows 2012 - Session Host
RDSH03 – Windows 2012 R2 - Session Host
RDSH04 – Windows 2012 R2 - Session Host
RDSH05 – Windows 2012 R2 - Session Host
RDSH06 – Windows 2012 R2 - Session Host
RDSH07 – Windows 2012 R2 - Session Host
RDSH08 – Windows 2012 R2 - Session Host
RDSH09 – Windows 2012 R2 - Session Host
RDSH10 – Windows 2012 R2 - Session Host
We have two Session Collections:
Office-R2 (All Server 2012 R2 RDSHs)
"Office (RDSH02, Closed for users)"
User Profile Disk are enabled to a SOFS Share (Server 2012).
Client Settings: Everything except "Plug and play Devices" are enabled
Problem:
Suddenly, one or more of RDSH
servers (in the Office-R2 Collection) get the following error:
A timeout (30000 milliseconds) was reached while waiting for a transaction response from the UmRdpService service.
After this, we get similar error messages
to other services, such as:
AudioEndpointBuilder, NcbService, ScDeviceEnum, WPDBusEnum, Netman
Users logged into the server, looses Redirection
services as local drives and local
printers, and they also have problem signing out of the server. (Hangs on signing out)
New Users that tries to sign in to that server are also having trouble (Hangs on signing in).
After using the logoff tool to sign out every user on that server, I end up With the following:
It
appears that there are no users logged on,
yet there are many Disconnected sessions...
Looking at the SOFS file share I still see that RDSH04 has read/Write to the .VHDX file that hold the User Profile.. And If the user try to log on to another server in that Collection, it get a temporary profile.
If I kill the Conncetion to the VHDX files, Users can then sign in normally to another node it that Collection.
Trying to restart the server With "Shutdown -r -t 0 -f" does not work, It just hangs on Shutdown (waited 3 days), so All I can do is Press and Hold.We
have also seen BSoD on these nodes, but I'm sure if they are related to this error:
WinDBG is saying:
BugCheck 3B, {c0000005, fffff803538fa84e, ffffd0002711cb00, 0}
Probably caused by : dfsc.sys ( dfsc!DfscCacheStore+6f )
I found https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2925981 and
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2525246, but they are not for Windows Server 2012 R2.
Any Idea?
Thanks
AndersHi,
Firstly, dfsc.sys indicates the DFS clients. It means that your systems use DFS service to access the file share.
Please let us know if you configured the DFS service on your file server.
Also, what is the format of file path you configured for UPD?
\\FileServer\FileShare
Or
\\Domain.com\DFS NameSpace\File Share
Thanks.

We are using Windows Server 2012 Standard installed in VMWare / Virtual machine and to access this we use vSphere client and Remote Desktop Connection / service was already enabled and was working fine with User PCs / laptops remote desktop into the server
2012, until it gave an error message of: Remote session was disconnected because there are no remote desktop license servers available to provide a license. Please contact the server administrator. whilst logging into the server.
We DON'T use Active Directory nor and we don't use domain and not looking to use it any-time soon.
I checked the RD Licensing Diagnoser and it says the grace period has expired and the licensing mode for the remote desktop session host server is not configured. I have checked the Remote Desktop Gateway has been stopped and I tried to start it and it
resumed to stop, here I assume its where the licensing part comes in to re-enabled this.
I have been trying to follow these articles online: http://ryanmangansitblog.com/2013/03/27/deploying-remote-desktop-gateway-rds-2012/ and http://www.concurrency.com/blog/rds8-add-a-licensing-server-2/#Install the overview part that I cannot get into,
because I think we have to be is AD DS for this which we don't. Is there a way around this for non domain / just standalone set-up? Is it a must / requirement we need to be in a domain in order for Remote Desktop Connection to work?
Also, we have a Windows Server 2012 RDS CALs - 10 (software and licence key), will the licence key work for the Windows 2012 Server Standard? We do not want to install the other Server mentioned which comes with CAL / licence key as its time consuming
to reinstall other programs. I have installed Server role service of Remote Desktop Licencing and automatically installed other associated services needed. in the RD Licencing Manager, the Server had a red cross and I "Activate Server"
where I followed: http://www.concurrency.com/blog/rds8-add-a-licensing-server-2/#Install in Install Licences section and I have used the licence key of CAL - 10 mentioned above; it stated I have successfully completed the install licences wizard and displayed:
10 Windows Server 2012 - RDS Per User CAL installed, and in the RD Licensing Manager the server turned into a green tick and added the licence.
I then tested the Remote desktop connection from my PC and the same error message was there and checked the RD Licensing Diagnoser and the same error messages was there. I haven't restart the services of Remote Gateway / the server itself; do I really
need to reboot server?
Any advice / guidance would be very much appreciated and this is a urgent matter.
Thank you for your time.Hotfix Released here:

Hello, I am beating my head against the wall trying to get a fortran DLL to work in labview. The DLL has multi-dimensional array inputs, and my guess is that my problem lies in correctly configuring the Call LibraryFunction. The dll is very complex,
