Upgrading to windows 2008 R2 Sp1

Hi
In our organization we have 12 domain controllers. Out of 12 domain controllers 5 are running with service pack1 and rest are running with out service pack and next week we are planning to install service pack1 on rest of the domain controllers. Can some
one suggest me what are the pre-requistes and its straight forward installation? . Also i need to know whether we will face any issues after we upgrade to sp1 on domain controller. Thinking pratically it should not because already we are running on sp1 on
few of the domain controllers but want to cross check as well.
Thanks Sekhar

Installing the servcie pack should be an easy installation without impact except for a reboot. Of course you should not install the servcie pack on aal DC's at once.
In fact I would recommend not only to install servcie pack 1, but also to install other updates that are available for your DC's as soon as possible. In my opinion the risk of having unpatched domaincontrollers is a lot bigger than the risk of a failing
update.

Hyper-v for windows 2008 r2 sp1

i have windows 2008 r2 sp1 foundation. i thought if i download and install the hyperv from the microsoft download site, it might make my server on par with the features of the windows 2008 r2 standard version, but i might be wrong, because it apparently
does not let me upgrade during setup but force me to do clean install. which implies that i might be overwriting my whole server with just a hyper v functionality and nothing else, am i correct? i dont want that. i want the whole server functionality like
iis sharepoint etc. if i dont have hyper v, i can live with having vmware player.

Hi Lenny,
Please ensure that the downloaded server is Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard not core or other edition .
Also please refer to following article :

Installing DSEE 7 on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 64-bit does nothing

Hi All,
Has anyone been able to install DSEE 7 on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 64-bit? Is it supported?
I followed the instructions and when run the command (as the Administrator) below nothing happen, it simply return an empty command prompt. Ms VC 2008 Redistributables (the one that come with the archive) is installed.
dsccsetup.exe war-file-create
dsccsetp.exe ads-create
When run the same command using the same archive on Windows 7 64-bit it does prompt for further input or report error.
Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

Windows 2008 R2 is not listed as a supported OS in the release notes.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19424-01/820-4805/820-4805.pdf
It lists:
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition for x86 and x64 Service Pack 1
Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition for x86 and x64 Service Pack 1
If you are able to go to the next version, it is listed as supported in the release notes for ODSEE 11g:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/odsee-11gr1certmatrix-161592.xls
I have not tried 11g on 2008 R2 myself, but if it is in the certification matrix, it should work.
Hope that helps,

Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Windows update not applicable

HELP!!! We have 3 Windows 2008 R2 servers that were updated with SP1 back in March. Last month we noticed on our Retina audit that the three servers were missing several Windows critical patches that were released after SP1 was applied. WSUS did not report
any missing patches for those three servers. When we tried to manually apply those missing patches we get the error message "This update is not applicable to your computer". After some troubleshooting we found that KB976932 (Service Pact 1) is not listed in
installed updates. However, system property shows Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise Edition. We are certain that SP1 did NOT come pre-installed. Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer detected no missing patches. Microsoft System Readiness Tool CBA logs show no
errors. Ran SFC /SCANNOW and found no error also. Force install of the patches with command switch /wuforce, did not work we still get the same message patch not applicable. We compared our servers that are fully patched running Windows 2008 R2 SP1 against
the three unpatched servers and found several dll and sys file's version to be different. Those dll and sys files are also the files that would have been updated by the critical patches. The only thing different between the fully patched Windows 2008 R2 SP1
servers and the unpatch are the unpatch have no public internet access. We confirmed patches that were required prior to SP1 push are installed: KB2454826 KB2534366 KB2533552 KB976902 Confirmed: Partition with Windows 2008 R2 SP1 installed is set to "ACTIVE"
Windows Event Collector service is started Windows Modules Installer is started Uninstalling SP1 is not possible because the KB976932 is not listed and verified "not hidden" in installed updates list. Rebuilding the three servers are the very last option,
since they are critical. Other than the missing patches.... the servers are running great, we have no reported issues with the three servers. Attempt to reinstall SP1 failed after reboot, error 0X800F0826. If anyone has experience this problem and know of
a solution please help.

Hi,
I would like to confirm that what updates are not applicable for your three Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 servers?
Based on the current situation, please run the System Update Readiness Tool as Meinolf Weber mentioned and check the CheckSUR.persist.log for the corrupted
files. After that, please refer to the following Microsoft TechNet article for how to repair them.
Advanced guidelines for diagnosing and fixing servicing corruption

Mac os x wiki server can't authenticate user password from active directory recently after we upgraded to windows 2008 server.

after upgraded to windows 2008 server, our mac os x wiki server can't authenticate user password anymore. How can I re-bind the wiki server to the AD again? thanks in advance.

Solved it by deleting the user and creating a new one with the same userID.
Maybe it occured because I marked the "user has to change password after first login" box when resetting the password but didn't yet allow him to do so in the webpages menu?!?

Installing Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 and PhotoShop 5.5 on windows 2008 R2 SP1 using Terminal services

Hi All,
Is it possible to install Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 and PhotoShop 5.5 on windows 2008 R2 SP1 using Terminal services. We are planning to use xenapp to publish these application.
Please let me know if this is a supported environment.
Regards
Radhika

As far as I know you will NOT be able to access OpenGL functionality through Terminal Services. as the OpenGL implementation provided in that environment is software, version 1.1 - not GPU-accelerated.
I seem to recall there was a thread about a year ago here where someone was trying to do what you are asking. I vaguely remember they were able to make it work, but I'm not sure. You might try doing a search of this forum.

Static DNS record deleted automatically- Windows 2008 R2 SP1

Hi,
I have scoured the Interweb and tried all suggestions to no avail for this one. Here's the scenario:
My client has a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 (Windows 2003 domain/forest functional level) server which is a DC and DNS server. The problem is that a DNS record for an Exchange 2010 server is getting deleted every 10 or 40 minutes. This started occurring for no obvious
reason a few weeks ago. The impact is that users cannot connect to Exchange (caching does not seem to help with this, which is odd). I disabled scavenging, which did not resolve the issue. I enabled auditing and found a 4662 event revealing that the domain
administrator account was deleting the server A record (and pointer record). Why this is happening is what I am trying to investigate next: possible bug? The zone is configured as non secure- maybe making it securing it would help? But this does not explain
why the record is being deleted. There is no NIC teaming implemented, which I understand can cause issues.
As an interim measure I created a script employing dnscmd that recreates the record every 15 minutes, which works for the most part, but not always, which is why I added a deny permission on the record for the domain Administrators group, seems so far to
have prevented the record from being deleted.
Any advise on the cause of this and how to investigate why the record is being deleted will be much appreciated!

Hi- thanks for that. However I have seen those links and already followed them: I turned off scavenging (default 7 day configuration) and the record still gets deleted (scavenging date is not due till a later data in any case). Also the record is static
so it would not get scavenged? The option to delete the record if stale is unchecked.
I already enabled auditing and identified event 4662, which identified that the domain administrator account that is deleting the record:

Applying Windows 2008 R2 SP1 on Exchange 2010 SP2 servers

Hi All,
Our current setup is Primary Site and DR site with a DAG.
Primary site is having 2 Mailbox servers, 2 hubcas servers with an NLB and one CAS server for OWA.
DR Site is having 1 mailbox server, one hubcas server and one CAS server. All these exchange servers are SP2 with update roll up5.
But the OS is Windows 2008 R2, need to apply Windows 2008 R2 SP1 on these servers, and what are things to be considered.
Does this affect CAS servers IIS?
Thanks,
Kanishka.

Agreed. One thing to mention - Win 2008 R2 needed SP1 a while back, no security updates have been released for a while.
Exchange 2010 SP2 goes out of support next month. please plan to update to SP3 for Exchange 2010.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/rmilne/archive/2013/10/08/save-the-date-end-of-exchange-2003-support-t-minus-6-months.aspx
The details for that, and a link to the lifecycle page are in the above post.

Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Exchange DAG event 1196 and 1579 Bad DNS Key

Hi,
I'm running an Exchange 2010 SP1 DAG on Windows 2008 R2 SP1. We are using an INFOBLOX appliance for DNS resolution.
DNS resolution is working and SRV records are created.
On one of the two clusternodes I get warning 1579 and error 1196 every 15 minutes. After looking around on the internet and technet, I found kb 977158 stating the problem and resolution. However this hotfix is not applicabel on Windows
2008 R2 SP1 .
How can I resolve these annoying events?
Event 1196 failoverClustering:
Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason:
DNS bad key.
Ensure that the network adapters associated with dependent IP address resources are configured with at least one accessible DNS server.
Event 1579 Failover Clustering
Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed to update the DNS record for name 'DAG.domain.local' over adapter 'NIC1-LAN'. The error code was 'DNS bad key. (9017)'. Ensure that a DNS server is accessible from this cluster node and contact your DNS
server administrator to verify the cluster identity can update the DNS record 'DAG.domain.local'.
Frederik

Cause:
The cluster name resource which has been added to the DNS prior to setup active passive cluster ( or any type) need to be updated by the Physical nodes on behalf of the resource record itself. When the active node owns the resources it want to update the
A record in the DNS database and DNS record which was created won’t allow any authenticated user to update the DNS record with the same owner
Solution:
Delete the existing A record for the cluster name and re-create it and make sure select the box says “Allow any authenticated user to update DNS record with the same owner name “Don’t worry about breaking anything , this has “ZERO”
impact to cluster simply delete the A record and re-create as it is suggested here.

Windows 2008 R2 SP1 BSOD

Hi All,
Experience BSOD's throughout the business day on an Windows 2008 R2 SP1 x64 terminal server (hosted on an hyper-v 2008 host) but not outside of business hours (thinking its an application / driver issue). Other virtual machines on this host are not experiencing
the same issue and the host is not impacted (non-hardware failure).
I've been trying to find out how to diagnose this one by revising the minidump files with WinDBG / 2008R2 symbol files but it keeps coming back to winsys32 as the fault, but can't figure out how to resolve this one.
If anyone could help with this that would be great.

Allan

Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise TS Sessions stuck in Down state

I have an environment of 30 physical Windows 2008 R2 SP1 Enterprise servers providing Remote Desktop services running Citrix XenApp 6.5. Over the last 2 months, I've had two instances where one user session was stuck in a "Down" state. The user
could not log in or reconnect to the published app because this one session could not be cleared. I was forced to remove the affected server from the published app, clear off all the users, and reboot in order to clear the Down session.
Research brought me to the following KB articles:
http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX128192
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2383928
I attempted to apply the hotfix, but it was "not applicable to your computer". I opened a ticked with MS and the conclusion was that the hotfix, and subsequent versions of the hotfix, have been superseded by Windows Updates. The hotfix apparently has
been rolled into public Windows Updates.
My problem is that this behavior still exists. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a nondestructive method (without rebooting) for clearing out these sessions stuck in a "Down" state? Thanks.

OK. We sent the files over to Microsoft to check on this issue. They came back with the following information.

Backing up a windows 2008 R2 sp1 server to a NAS drive

Hi,
In windows 2008 R2 sp1 which is in a domain name xyz.com, we need to take the full backup to a shared folder in a NAS Drive which is in a workgroup ( not joined to the domain xyz)
When run the backuponce option in the windows server backup , it is getting backed up when the credentials for accessing the shared folder in a NAS Drive is provided during the time of backup.
But when scheduling the backup , I am getting the error as follows
I am using domain user id for scheduling the backup and other credentials to access the NAS shared folder
in other words how to get this option as below during the scheduling backup to exclude the above warning
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks & Regards S.Swaminathan Live & let others live!!!

Hi
Thanks for all for your valuable suggestion ,
At last I succeeded in configuring the scheduled backup through creating the scheduled task by creating a batch file with the following command:
net use y: \\ipaddress\sharedfolder name /username:xyz abc
Wbadmin start backup -backupTarget:\\[Server]\[Share name] -include:C:,E: -vssFull -quiet -allcritical
Variables in the command are 1.ipaddress 2.sharedfoldername 3.username 4.password 5. the drives letters 6. the mapped drive letter in the net use command
These variables have to be taken care for anybody to use
And thanks to Darren too ...... The scheduled task is to be run with the hghest privilege
username and password mentioned in the above lines are the credentials to connect to the shared folder in different NAS Drive which is located out of the domain
Thanks & Regards S.Swaminathan Live & let others live!!!

LSASS.exe utilizing 3 GB of RAM on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 - MS Dynamics AX 2012 application server (it's not a DC)

Hi guys,
Does anyone know why would lsass.exe be using 3 GB of RAM on an application server with 8 GB of RAM in total running on Windows 2008 R2 SP1? Is this something I should log with Microsoft support?
Thanks
Zoran

Hi we experienced the same issue. but im not able to reproduce it on the second server.
We got two member servers both in the same configuration Windows 2008R2 SP1 STD hosting Axapta AOS. the first server is experiencing the Lssas memory leak (we got a little bit more memory then you but it consumes 5,6GB form 6GB
total RAM) the second one not. both servers are VM hosted on hyper-v 2012 cluster. the only difference betwean them is instaled Avast Antivirus, but we have a testing environment (single VM server with identical deployment with Avast also installed) and
it does not seems that the Avast is the cause.
can anybody please point us how to troubleshoot lsass memory leaks on member servers not DCs, becouse the event logs does not show anything interesting about the couse, but are full of errors about what i see as consequences of low memory condition.
Thanks in advance Martin Stejskal
