V6v4tunnel not working in Server Core 2008 R2

I've been trying to configure an IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel (from HE) on Server Core 2K8 R2, but it simply refuses to work.
I try:
netsh interface ipv6 add v6v4tunnel HETunnel <v4 local IP> <v4 Endpoint IP>
and get
A service installation section in this INF is invalid.
This installation is completely fresh, after it was installed from disc, the only thing done to it was installation of updates before attempting this. As such, I assume that there simply is no support for this on Core 2K8 R2, but I can't seem to find that
documented anywhere. Is this indeed the case, and, if so, are there any workarounds, such as supplying files from a full installation, or third-party tools that will work on the server core? If it is supposed to be supported, what could be causing this problem?

Hi Venkatesh,
Agree with Alexey, please try to install RODC with unattend file.
In addition, to Create a DCPromo Unattend File Automatically with powershell, please also check this article:

Server Core 2008 R2 SP1 - AD DS Best Practice Analyzer Scans Don't Produce Any Output

Hi,
This is a re-post moving this discussion to the recommended forum "Server Core" from here:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winservergen/thread/cc33d429-88e0-4450-a73c-361e395fd217.
I am having problems producing any output for any AD DS Best Practice Analyzer Scans on a Windows Server Core 2008 R2 SP1 Domain Controller.
I have imported the "ServerManager" and "BestPractices" PS modules on that Server by running the following commands:
Import-Module ServerManager
Import-Module BestPractices
I've then run
get-BPAModel, to find out what best practice scan models are availale, this returns the following output:
Id
LastScanTime
Microsoft/Windows/DirectoryServices     Never
Microsoft/Windows/DNSServer               Never
I then run all the BPA scans on that box:
Get-BPAModel | Invoke-BPAModel
This returns the following output:
ModelId
Success Detail
Microsoft/Windows/DirectoryServices True       (InvokeBpaModelOutputDetail)
Microsoft/Windows/DNSServer          True       (InvokeBpaModelOutputDetail)
Since the BPA invocation results weren’t displayed automatically, I entered the following command to see them:
Get-BPAModel | Get-BPAResult | Out-File "D:\Source\BPA.txt"
This command will create a text file with the scan results but I only see the results of the DNSServer scan, not the DirectoryServices scan.
I have also tried to view the results in a HTML format by running the following command but still only see the DNSServer scan results:
Get-BPAModel | Get-BPAResult | ConvertTo-Html | Set-Content d:\Source\BPA.htm
I have also tried exeucuting the scan ONLY for the "Microsoft/Windows/DirectoryServices" model but can't get any results to be returned. I have also connected using server manager from a Full install of Server 2008 R2 SP1 but that
doesn't seem to show any results under the "Best Practices Analyzer" section when the "Active Directory Domain Services" node is selected, all 4 tabs ("Noncompliant", "Excluded", "Compliant" and "All") show zero (0). However, the summary text above the
tabs does show when the last scan was performed. which seems to be correct.
Is there something special that needs to be done to produce the BPA results for the "Microsoft/Windows/DirectoryServices" BPA model on Server Core 2008 R2 SP1?
BTW: The Forest/Domain is W2K3R2 Native, this is the first W2K8R2 DC in the environment and I have installed .NET 4 framework (Server Core) to support Powershell 3, also installed.
Thanks, Paul.

Hi Diana,
OK, pretty sure I've now found the root cause of the issue I've described above.
I was also looking into Windows Update Agent issues for these W2K8R2 Server Core DC's, where no updates would be applied via WSUS (configured via GPO) and would fail with "FATAL: CBS called Error with 0x8000ffff windows update agent server
core".
Yesterday, I managed to get one of the W2K8R2 Server Core DC's (WSUS updates) working again by removing one of the .NET 4 Framework security updates (KB2600211) which was manually applied when the server was initially setup. .NET 4 (Server Core Edition
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=22833) was installed as a pre-requisitie for Powershell 3. Once this update was removed, the affected server core DC was restarted and WSUS updates started to get applied.
So I followed the same procedure on the other server core DC but this did not resolve the WSUS issue this time.  Next, I did further investigation into the Windows Update Agent problem. This led me to the following article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/brad_rutkowski/archive/2008/07/03/windows-update-fails-with-8000ffff-e-unexpected.aspx which described an issue with NTFS permissions being set incorrectly on C: drive, with the "BUILTIN\Users" group completely
missing on the C: drive.
I found the affected Server Core DC also had this issue and when the "BUILTIN\Users" was assigned permissions on the C: drive as described above, and the Windows Update Agent re-started, the Server Core DC started to install all required updates
configured via WSUS.
Next, I ran the Directory Service BPA, which now produces the desired output either locally or remotely via Server Manager.
Therefore, I can only assume that the Directory Service BPA also uses "Network Service" much like WUAUSERV (Windows Update Agent), which requires access to the C: drive via the "BUILTIN\Users" assignment.
So this has subsequently led me to check the C: drive (%systemdrive%) permissions across multiple W2K8R2 machines, all of which showed differing assigned permissions, as follows:
1. W2K8R2 Server Core DC - With Directory Services BPA and Windows Update Agent Not Working
C:\>icacls c:\
c:\ BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(F)
    CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)
    NT AUTHORITY\INTERACTIVE:(OI)(CI)(RX)
    NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(F)
2. W2K8R2 Server Core DC - With Directory Services BPA and Windows Update Agent Working OK
C:\>icacls c:\
c:\ NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(F)
    BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(F)
    BUILTIN\Users:(OI)(CI)(RX)
    BUILTIN\Users:(CI)(AD)
    BUILTIN\Users:(CI)(IO)(WD)
    CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)
3. W2K8R2 Full DC - With Directory Services BPA and Windows Update Agent Working OK
C:\>icacls c:
c: NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller:(F)
   NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller:(CI)(IO)(F)
   NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(M)
   NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)
   BUILTIN\Administrators:(M)
   BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)
   BUILTIN\Users:(RX)
   BUILTIN\Users:(OI)(CI)(IO)(GR,GE)
   CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)
4. W2K8R2 Server Core DHCP Server (Migrated from W2K3 with Server Migration Tools) - With DHCP BPA and Windows Update Agent Working OK
C:\>icacls c:
c: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(F)
   BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(F)
5. W2K8R2 Server Core DHCP Server (Migrated from W2K3 with netsh) - With DHCP BPA and Windows Update Agent Working OK
C:\>icacls c:
c: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(F)
   BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(F)
   BUILTIN\Users:(OI)(CI)(RX)
   BUILTIN\Users:(CI)(AD)
   BUILTIN\Users:(CI)(IO)(WD)
   CREATOR OWNER:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)
None of the above servers have a Group Policy or any in-house scripts defined that configure C: drive permissions. It seems odd that there should be such a variance in the C: (%systemdrive%) drive permissions across the above servers, with only
scenarios 2 and 5 above have matching permissions. I can only imagine that maybe some software or software update might be causing this.
By reviewing the above output, it seems there is also a difference between the C: drive permissions of W2K8R2 Server Core and W2K8R2 Full. Not sure if this is by design?
Is there any Microsoft Documentation describing what the default %systemdrive% NTFS permissions should be for W2K8R2 Server Core and Full. Furthermore, do these permissions change when the various infrastructure roles are installed and enabled i.e.
Domain Controller, DHCP etc. I ask, since I would like to use the correct set of permissions for %systemroot% in each scenario. Please advise if I should be asking this question in a different forum?

Perfmon breaking when CF9 is install on Windows Server Core 2008 R2

Hi,
Before I install Coldfusion on my Windows Server 2008 R2 Core I can connect into Performance Monitoring remotely and view all the performance counters. After installing CF9 I can connect into the perfmon remotely but when I list the performance object/counters the list is there but completely blank - as in I can scroll through a list that has no text in it.
If I try to pull perfmon information via WMI all the win32_PerfRawData and win32_PerfFormattedData classes are missing - including those not relating to IIS.
Is it a case that CF9 is not supported on Server Core? Anyone know any fixes for this? I have tried both Server Install and Multiserver install but my perfmon counts are broken by CF9 each time.
Everything else works and I can get my sites up and running just fine - it is just the performance counters that are being affected here and as they are important it means that I cannot use CF9 on Core edition as a result.
Thanks for any help/advice.

Migrate from server core 2008 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes to server core 2012 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on new san hardware

We are getting ready to migrate from server core 2008 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on an iscsi san to server core 2012 r2 hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on a new iscsi san.
I've been searching for a "best practices" article for this but have been coming up short. The information I have found either pertains to migrating from 2008 r2 to 2012 r2 with failover cluster volumes on the same hardware, or migrating
to different hardware without failover cluster volumes.
If there is anyone out there that has completed a similar migration, it would be great to hear any feedback you may have on your experiences.
Currently, my approach is as follows:
1. Configure new hyper-v with failover cluster volumes on new SAN with new 2012 r2 hostnodes and 2012 r2 management server
2. Turn off the virtual machines on old 2008 r2 hyper-v hostnodes
3. Stop the VMMS service on the 2008 r2 hostnodes
4. copy the virtual machine files and folders over to the new failover cluster volumes
5. Import vm's into server 2012 r2 hyper-v.
Any feedback on the opertain I have in mind would be helpful.
Thank you,
Rob

Hi Rob,
Yes , I agree with that "file copy " can achieve migration.
Also you can try "copy cluster wizard " :

Hi
Please Help..
I am Using Crystal report Report 9 with VB 6 and SQL Server 2008. All my Client PC s (Windows XP SP3) are able to export the reports in any format but with my SERVER - (Windows Server 2008 (32 Bit)) it isn't possible. The Button is very much enabled
but when I click on it, Nothing happens.. Please Help...

Hi,
I would like to suggest you try to run SAP Crystal Reports under Compatibility Mode to check if it works.
Run in compatibility mode with administrative privilege
================================
1. Right-click the .exe file of the SAP Crystal Reports program and choose
Properties.
2. Switch to the
Compatibility tab.
3. Please check the
Run this program in compatibility mode for and choose
Windows XP (Service Pack 3).
4. Check the
Run this program as an administrator box under the
Privilege Level.
5. Click
Apply, click OK.
Note: If the option is unavailable when running this program as an administrator, it means that either the application is blocked from always
running elevated, the application does not require administrative credentials to run, or you are not logged into the computer as an administrator.
If it does not work, it is high recommended to contact your local SAP Support Engineers for further assistance. They are more familiar with their own

Max Memory Settings Not Working (SQL Server 2008 R2)

I have 12 GB ram in sql server 2008 R2 of 64 bit server (Windows 2008 R2).
I have set the Max memory setting to 12288 MB Memory setting.
Still the usage of sql server process is around 14 GB.
Is Max memory setting not working?
I have also enabled AWE after all it is 64 bit.
Thanks

Problem is that: my OS is halting due to this RAM. I have 16 GB of ram and assigning 12 GB to SQL SERVER and rest is using for OS. Please guide me how to get information about actual memory usage from all sql server processes. like
all CLR etc
Hi,
Are you also running SSIS/SSAS/SSRS with database engine services. What do you mean by OS is halting ?
If you want to check whether SQL Server is facing memory crunch please have a look at perfmon counters from
this link
Sys.dm_OS_memory_clerks would be DMV helpful in tracking memory utilized by various processes
I have also enabled AWE after all it is 64 bit. Thanks
Please note AWE doe snot have any notable affect in 64 bit system.
Below will tell you memory used by SQLCLR
select single_pages_kb + multi_pages_kb + virtual_memory_committed_kb from sys.dm_os_memory_clerks where type = 'MEMORYCLERK_SQLCLR'
Below query will give you memory consumed by various clerk
SELECT type, SUM(multi_pages_kb)
FROM sys.dm_os_memory_clerks
WHERE multi_pages_kb <> 0
GROUP BY type
ORDER BY SUM(multi_pages_kb) DESC
Can you reduce max server memory to 11 G and see if it gives some relief

Primary Domain Controller Time not working (Windows Server 2008)

Hi there, I'm trying to set up my PDC with an external
before you say anything I have checked other thread and none of them helped and please do not suggest OS upgrades, we don't have the budget for that
we have 4 DC servers (not the real names)
DC1-Site1 (PDC), DC2-Site1, DC1-Site2 & DC2-Site2
All the other DCs and all the machines pick up the time from DC1-Site1, but this is out of sync with NTP
I've set DC1-Site1 to look at 0.uk.pool.ntp.org, 1.uk.pool.ntp.org, 2.uk.pool.ntp.org and 3.uk.pool.ntp.org using w32tm (yes i was running command prompt as administrator)
I am using a physical server not a virtual server
I have checked all the registry keys and they are correct, but when i do w32tm /mointor it is pointing to itself
I have tired creating a GPO for the PDC and this is being applied when I check with gpresult /r but this still doesn't sync the time with the NTP server
when i do w32tm /stripchart my PDU is +53.4 seconds out of sync with 0.uk.pool.ntp.org
it's not the firewall as the PDU can connect to 0.uk.pool.ntp.org on the correct port
C:\Windows\system32>w32tm /stripchart /computer:0.uk.pool.ntp.org /samples:10 /dataonly
Tracking 0.uk.pool.ntp.org [130.159.196.118:123].

The PDC Emulator in the forest root is the only one that you sync with an outside source, and the source can be your own interna,, 3rd party time service not running on a joined machine, or an external source such as US Navy servers, etc. All other
DCs in the entire forest, no matter what domain or tree, are set to sync from the hierarchy.
For the most part, just following the steps in my blog should help for the PDC and all other DCs. I thought I layed out the steps pretty clearly, since I put it together for someone else to follow at a major, enterprise environment, and they've found it
successul.
So I'm not sure what you mean by "...primary DC time server service information not save or it will save then revert back to looking at itself?"
If the PDC or any other DC, have problems with the time service and the steps in my blog don't help, or any other service, the cause may be rooted elsewhere. To determine that, would require config info including an ipconfig /all from each DC,
event log errors in the various AD logs and System logs, site design, number of domains in the forest, and more.

BW hierarchy variable not working in Crystal Report 2008

Hi,
I have created BEx 7.0 report which has hierarchy on 0customer object, the report is working fine whith hierarchy variable. I have created Crystal Report by using this query as source. I have followed below link to create grouping to get data through hierarchy variable.
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/BWHierarchiesinCrystalReports
But report does not work for hierarchy variable and report is blank. When I give filter of child node which has actual data then I get report output. For ex.
Below hierarchy for 0customer
11396
- 737007
- 123456
When I run report for 11396 then no data display but when I run 737007 child node I get report output but with blank group name.
Can anyone came accross this issue. Please guide me . Thanks in advance.

Thanks Ingo for your reply..
The word filter means, I have hierarchy node variable in the BEx report that has become Parameter in CR. When I give hierarchy node variable value of parent node then there is not data display but for the child node I get the data.
For ex. In the info cube there is data for 730707 customer but in the customer hierarchy the parent node of 73707 is 11396. I am giving 11396 in the variable pop screen for hierarchy variable. I do not see any data but for 73707 I get data.
User does not know 73707, he always enter 11396 customer no. and he gets data in BEx query that is source of CR. but crystal report is not showing data for 11396.
One more point I want to tell here, I am saving CR at my local system not to SAP BW server.
Hope this clear my issue.

Cascading Dynamic Parameters Do Not Work In Crystal Viewer 2008?

I have generated a report with Crystal Reports 2008 that uses a dynamic cascading parameter. I work in waste management and the report I create in Crystal is used as a "template" with the tonnages collected from all of our customers. Our less technically minded employees can then open this report with Crystal Reports Viewer 2008, use the drop down menus to select only the customer they need a report for and then export this to PDF for delivery.
The report as designed works perfectly in Crystal Reports, but the parameter does not work in Crystal Viewer.
Some of our customers have more than one physical location that we service. The cascading dynamic parameter in my report allows you to select the customer name, and then it only shows the locations linked to that customer, so the end user can select only the relevant location(s) for the report. The cascading parameter is dynamic and allows multiple selections, and is linked to a Saved Data formula. The report is saved with the data.
When the report is opened in Viewer, one of two things happens. If the report is saved in Crystal Reports and a specific customer/location is selected, then ONLY those selected customer/locations are available in the Viewer. If ALL the customers/locations are selected in Crystal Reports and saved, then in the Viewer they are all available, but selecting one customer does NOT narrow down the locations (i.e. it does not "cascade") and instead ALL of the locations are available even if they do not apply to the customer.
If I use a single dynamic parameter and select ALL of the customers (for example), then when this is opened in Crystal Viewer all of the customers are available from the parameters drop down and the report works fine. As soon as this is tried with a cascading parameter however, Crystal Viewer falls down.
Does anyone know of a workaround to this or if there is something I am doing wrong?

I am using the free Crystal Report 2008 Viewer along with designing reports with Crytal Reports ver 12.3. With a test file from SAP called "Interactive Parameters", the parameter feature works to refresh the report. The parameters that are supplied in the sample report work with Viewer. They show up under the parameter list in the parameter side panel in Viewer and are available to make record selections. When I add a parameter to the sample report in Crystal 2008 and then view the report in Viewer, my parameters are unavalable for record selection while the original parameters remain available. Futher, my parameters are displayed under a section called "Current Data Set" in the Parameter side panel, while the selectable parameters are displayed under the "Parameter" section in the parameter side panel. There must be a setting that is treating the parameters I create differently form the parameters created in the original sample report. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I'd really appreciate your quick help !
I have created a landing page in captivate 5 which has links to the different lessons - also done in captivate. all exported as swf and html.
I've used 'Open URL or file' and chose 'new' to open them in a new window, and unchecked the checkbox that says 'continue playing the project'.
on my computer after publishing, the project works just fine. when i've uploaded it to my server, the external links to the different lessons are not working.
PLEASE urgen assistant - is very much appreciated.
my files are btw in dropbox, if one of u has a moment to look at it.
Thanks!

Rick, I have a weird problem now.
my files sometimes load and sometimes don't!
when I place the url on the current webpage (where the index is) - the files load.
when i click them from the index file, a new window opens up but the files don't load.
this behavior is not consistent. a few hours ago it did work.
any ideas???

Installation not working from server

I used the CCpackager to prepare the install on Windows. I have the design tools suite (acrobat PS, Ill Indesign + some stuff) I have to make 2 directories, one for acrobat, and one for the rest. Well I didn't have to, the packager did ! And I have to start an exe with parameters on the server in order to install acrobat. So I made a batch file with the parameters . Then I launch the setup from the other directory to install the rest of the suite. The problem is my users are not in an active dir, and they mount a net drive, and they cannot launch the batch because MS does not allow launching a batch as admin from a network location. I even had someone making a script giving the user admin rights on the batch, but it's not working. Can ADOBE make a real setup.exe that launches everything in one time ?
Is it too hard to do ?
We just cannot install that CC, 2 times out of 3 the install stops.
I'm pissed
