W520 - Windows Server 2008R2 and color sensor

Good evening,
Does anybody have an experience how to make calibration working under Windows Server 2008 R2? It beeps 3 times when I close the lid and displays the message that system cannot be put to calibration mode.
Thank you!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you installed the calibration software after the R2 desktop experience and the latest NVIDIA Windows 7 x64 video driver, then you've done all that you can.
If it works on Windows 7 but not when booted up on R2, then it's clearly a software issue and considering Windows Server 2008 R2 isn't supported, you are probably at a dead end.

DFRS on sysvol with windows server 2008r2 and windows server 2012r2

I currently have windows server 2008 r2 domain with forest and domain at 2008r2 full functional level.
The domain was originally 2003 full functional level.
I want to promote a windows server 2012 r2 system to a domain controller.
While doing some prep work I found that the sysvol relication has not been migrated to DFSR and is using FRS.
Will I need to migrate to DFSR before promoting the 2012 r2 DC or can that wait?
Thanks.

Hi,
To install active directory in Windows Server 2012 R2 you must just be sure that the domain functional level and forest functional level is 2003 or higher. you don't need to migrate Sysvol system replication to DFSR.
When you install the first domain controller in Windows Server 2008 or higher and choose the domain functional level 2008 or higher, the replication system used by Sysvol will be DFSR automatically.
On the other side, if you domain functional level was 2003, to apply DFSR for Sysvol replication you must raise the domain functional to 2008 or higher, and launch dfsrmig
to complete the migration t get more details look at the link below:

Can't record web session in Web Application Transaction Monitoring using IE10 (Tried under Windows Server 2008R2 and 2012)

Hi,
In Operations Manager Console 2012 SP1 including RU2 I am trying to record a web session in Web Application Transaction Monitoring.
I have check that:
The add-on (Microsoft Web Recorder Helper) 64bit is Enabled.
The 64bit version of IE10 is running/launched. See this link for how to modify your registry key if needed: http://kevingreeneitblog.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/scom-2012-recording-web-browser-session.html
I have tried both on a Windows 2008R2 and 2012 server, but the recorder is not showing up as can been seen from Kevin's Blog (link above).
Any Ideas?

I managed to get this working on both Windows 8 IE10 and server 2012 IE10. Tested on SCOM 2012 SP1 UR2 and UR3. I've done this process in lab and production several times so hopefully this helps you out.
Checklist:
1. Ensure that the 64bit IE10 is launching when the "start web-capture" is started in SCOM.
2. Enable IE10 internet options:
a: Advanced - Security - Enable Enhanced Protected Mode
b: Advanced - Browsing - Enable third-party browser extensions
3. Close all running IE sessions and open the Registry Editor
4. Registry Change (No reboot needed)
- Browse to the following regkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
- Add a new DWORD called TabProcGrowth and set it to 0
5. Registry Change (No reboot needed)
- Browse to the following regkey:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Discardable\PostSetup\Component Categories64\
-You should see two subkeys labeled: (These are the cached BHO IE objects related to the Web Recorder)
{00021493-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
{00021494-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}
- Delete only the above two mentioned keys (This will force IE to recache them next launch)
6. Try to start the web capture again from SCOM 2012 SP1.
7. When IE10 Launches enable the add-on again if you are prompted.
8. If you still don't see the Web-Recorder pane in IE you can now show it by:
- View - Explorer bars - Web Recorder

MSXML6.dll method"SEND" don't work in Windows Server 2012 and SQL 2008R2

moving it on Windows Server 2012 with SQL 2008R2 express (32bit) or SQL 2012 express (32bit), it doesn't work anymore.

Windows Server 2008R2 profile unload impossible due to Temp "Z@.." files

Hi,
We are supporting many environments for different customers.
Unfortunately they all share the same issue, which is caused by the combination of Windows Server 2008R2 and Adobe Reader 11.
The files are located in "C:\Users\Some-User\AppData\Local\Temp\2\acrord32_sbx\[email protected]"
There are many folders, for one user sometimes up to 20 folders (user.domain.001, user.domain.002 etc), collecting up to wazoo.
Removing hotfixes do not solve the issue, neither does the two provided acroct.ini files (to be placed in \windows\ folder).
All Servers are up2date on Windows update, conform a Patch Policy we maintain.
We have tried removing Windows updates, ofcourse with a deny on the patch policy so that it doesnt return, but the issue stays occurring.
I'd prefer to have this issue resolved by installing a patch - Instead of removal of patches.
As I am searching for a way to directly contact Adobe Support, I could only opt-in on this forum to get support afaik.
If needed, I can put down more information ofcourse.
Server info:
Hypervisor: VMware 5.1
OS:     Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (used as Terminal Server, one of 5 servers total)
RAM:     12GB Memory
Adobe Reader version:     Adobe Reader XI (11.0.06)
Anyone who can help out get professional support, please don't hesitate to respond.
Regards, Michael

I have read many many articles for this issue.
Outcome is, like from this Blog, Adobe has to re-code Reader.
We have tried alot of ways to get this fixed, but neither uninstalling MS Patches, nor the AcroCT.ini files (yes both) are a fix for us.
If Adobe Reader needs to use temporary fonts for printing the PDF files, they have to Force unload and clean up the temporary fonts/files. (Font Installation and Deletion (Windows))
Since MS14-045: Description of the security update for kernel-mode drivers: August 27, 2014 there is a new behavior for Font and Font Resource installation/deletion.
Since Adobe Reader has NO support channel, NO way of contacting other than the forums:
How on earth could we get this to be fixed in a new release???
Should this message be posted on all threads for this annoying issue?
We are facing this problem with over 10 customers on over 600 Remote Desktop Servers - No way I am going to remove patch #1 from August 2014, which is being re-deployed in a newer fix every month..
The root cause is the programming in Adobe, which had been conform Microsoft's wishes, but this behavior change in removal has to be remarked to Adobe...
Regards and awaiting a way into the developers part on Adobe Reader.

Server 2008r2 and windows 7 pro slow to no networkshare file searching and file access (green progress bar)

we are running a windows server 2008r2 sp1 domain controller and a 3com gigabit switch to which 7 windows 7 pro computers are connected. We are only using the windows server to distribute a few printers and as a network share (z drive).
we are storing all files (word documents only) centrally on the server (z share), and files are accessed and written to the z share.
Problem is that file access from the z share on the windows 7 client computers is at best buggy. we are able to browse the z-share, but as soon as we want to search the z-share for files (f.i. use file explorer with "content: memorandum") the green
progress bar shows and no search is performed. something like alphabetically sorting a directory on map/file name on the z-share also shows a green bar with no sorting. manually going to the files works.
One thing i noticed, sometimes not all files that one user created and stored on the server is visible and can be found by another user. I prefer to disable all offline file caching setting, because that feature is not used. no files should be made accessible
offline. i don't know where to change that on the server side.
I am reluctant to experiment on the server end (2008r2 sp1), so i tried a few suggested solutions on the client end (windows 7 client)
I tried disabling offline file caching
i tried properties (z share) ==> advanced and map optimizing and several options there
i tried disabling the smbv2 protocol and disabling the smbv1 protocol (using
sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi command etc. posted by microsoft)
i tried disabling windows defender
i tried accessing the z share via ip and server name (the share is mapped via its servername, e.g. dennis-dc1\share). still the same
file searching on the clients c drive ('own harddrive') works much better, file searching on the server also works.
any suggestions or solutions that i can test on the client side, as mentioned i am reluctant to change something on the server side. if a solutions works, i prefer to change it on the server side.

Hi,
The issue could be due to windows indexing service taking long time in sorting and searching in mapped drives. Please try the steps belwo to disable windows indexing service or search service on the windows 7 client to resolve the issue.
You can click on Start and select Control Panel, click on
Programs and Features, go into the Turn Windows Features on or off section Scroll down the list and uncheck the box next to Indexing Service or Windows Search.

I have OS X 10.8.5 and try access to Windows Server 2008R2

I have OS X 10.8.5 and try access to Windows Server 2008R2. Can help me with the steps to do it. Actually at connect show the message "Error de conexion compruebe que gestion remota en el panel compartir de preferencias del sistema esté activado en el ordenador al que intenta conectarse. Compruebe tambien que su conexcion de red funciona correctamente.
I can connect to Windows Server 2008r2 with other programs like 2X or Cord but can't copy o move files, for these reasons I'd buy Apple Remote Desktop but had the problem of conection.
Thanks for your answer.

JLC - have you tried http://www.microsoft.com/mac/remote-desktop-client ? I have been using this and CORD for quite some time with success. As long as you configure to allow access to local filesystem, you can transfer filtes to/from the Windows server you are connecting to.
EDIT: actual download page for client is:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18140
One thing to note though, since I updated my MBP to 10.8.5, copy/paste of text has not worked for me with either of those RDP clients.

Cisco SG 200-08 and Windows Server 2008R2 as Radius

Hello. I'm having some issues using Cisco SG 200-08 switches for 802.1X authentication. I would be very grateful for some help:
1. Will Cisco implement any other way to authenticate supplicant port other than EAP-MD5 method? I'm using those switches to implement 802.1X authentication in my network and my RADIUS server is a Windows Server 2008R2 machine. I've actually had to make a registry hack (instructions from: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/winserverNAP/thread/e801bdac-9347-4efb-9d7c-bcf4d64aa927 ) to enable MD5 on WS2008R2. I've alse read that this method is old and insecure and everyone suggest using some safer authentication method but I simply can't. Can someone tell me please will Cisco implement any other authentication methods in those switches or should I buy any other hardware.

Hello Scott
Thanks a lot for your answer, i have followed the document as example and i had some problems matching the network policy on the NPS due to the NPS has connection request policies and network policies for setting up, understanding that one is for authentication and the other one for authorization, additionaly, other issue was when duplicated the certificate template, i had to use the certificate issued by default on the CA for requesting a new certificate for the NPS Server.
After days looking for figuring up this issues, it has worked well. As you told me, the configuration on the Wireless Controller was the easy part, the issue come up when i started working on the NPS as Radius Server.
One more thing, for applying FlexConnect or HREAP for the Remote APs that i have distributed on my branch offices, should i use other WLAN configured on the Wireless Controller or with the same WLAN use for all the user is enough applying the parameters for getting work with HREAP?
I would appreciate any help fot getting work with HREAP.
Thanks a lot.

Windows Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services reports printer process does not exist when installing PDF printer

Windows Server 2008R2 running Remote Desktop Services reports printer process does not exist when installing PDF printer, And when Installing network printers from the domain controller it reports it cannot connect to printer. I can ping all
network devices. I can connect to the internet.
On boot I get a netlogon 5719 error followed by service control manager errors 7023,7001 and a group policy error 1129.
Clients can connect to the remote application and RDP operates to connect to the server internally and externally.
The domain controller is another server 2008r2 box. I have scoured the internet but have not found any solutions that work yet.

Hi,
After referring to your post, it can be identified that the issue which you are facing is mostly due to some network issue in your environment. Please recheck your network connection issue between computer and domain controller.
Can you able to ping with IP address and also with fully qualified name of a domain controller in the users' and computers' domain. If it fails states that name resolution issue with computer and domain controller. Are you using MS DHCP Relay agent then there’s
available Hotfix for the particular Event ID. Please go through this KB 2459530 to fix the error event ID.
As per the net logon error 5719 which you are facing states that the client component of Netlogon was unable to locate a DC for the domain it was trying to perform an operation against. Below is one of the reason. If this is being logged on a DC and the event
refers to the DC's own domain, something might be preventing the client component of Netlogon from starting a network session (to itself or to another DC in the domain). The following event 7001 & 7023 states start & stop operation service. Please
go through beneath article for more details.
1. Event ID 5719 is logged when you start a computer
2. Netlogon 5719 and the Disappearing Domain [Controller]
3. Event ID 1129 — Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy
Hope it helps!

Unable to do Bare Metal Restore on Windows Server 2008R2 Backup from USB Seagate Backup Plus Harddrive

I have done a windows full server backup on to an external Seagate HDD on a Dell PowerEdge T110 II Server running Windows Server 2008 R2
I want to clone this and do a Bare Metal Restore on an identical server at home which has Windows Server 2008 R2 on it.
I boot from the Windows DVD provided, select repair however windows Server 2008 R2 will not find the image of the Seagate drive. The Seagate drive can be seen on the server otherwise. I guess there are options to load the driver, but I don't see them.
Please help. Kind of stuck here
Thanks

I am using a windows server 2008R2 disk to boot up. Both the servers have windows server 2008R2 on them. I have two licenses for each of the servers. I want to use the server at home as a backup server in case the server in office goes down. I used
windows server backup to backup the server at work to a portable USB hard drive. I bought the hard drive home and want to clone the server at work. I heard bare metal restore is the best way to do this. So I booted the server at home with the windows server
2008 r2 disk that I have and clicked repair. I had attached my seagate portable drive to the usb port so that the server could find the image of the server at work, however the server cant find the hard drive or the server image. Is it a problem with my usb
hard drive? Do I need a specific type of usb hard drive to do server image backups?
If I let my server at home boot regularly and it comes up, it can see the image on the hard drive so I dont know how to do the bare metal restore. I know it can be done becuase my IT guy did it when he set up both the servers. I just want to periodically
clone them so make sure the server at home is updated with the settings of the server at work.
Thanks for any help here

Windows Server 2008r2 Printer Sharing

Hi folks,
I have a Windows Server 2008r2 set up as my workstation and I'd like to share the printer with my wife's MacBook. I've set up Printing Services on WS2008r2 and enabled IPP, LPD and everything else I could think of.
The printer sharing works, our other laptop which is Win7 can use it normally, but setting up the share on a Mac is a whole new kettle of fish.
I couldn't get it to connect via IPP, Mac keeps insisting on port 631 even though IPP is running on port 80 here. I have no idea what to put into the address field, if I copy/paste the URL the Mac doesn't recognise it. If I just put in the server name it's happy but insists on connecting to port 631.
Next came LPD which seems to work, Mac connects to the server and picks up the printer. Which brings me to the next problem. If I use standard generic postscript driver then nothing happens, printer gets switched on on the server and stops. An event log entry reports an LPD error:
"The Line Printer Daemon (LPD) service received commands in an invalid format from 192.168.2.106 and refused the print job. This can occur if the Line Printer Remote (LPR) client is incompatible with the Windows LPD service and Request for Comments (RFC) 1179. Try printing using a different LPR client."
The printer is a Canon Pixma iP5200R. If I switch the printer options from generic postscript to a Canon printer it will print but it only uses about 60% of the space, so everything is shrunk on the page. It does print the full content of the page, just makes everything smaller. I managed to get this far by selecting one of the BJC (Bubblejet) models from the drop-down list.
I've installed Canon's driver for iP5200 from their site but it's not available anywhere on the Mac. How do I tell the Mac to use a different driver?
I feel I'm getting close to fixing this, but now the problem is in Macland and I'm not too familiar with it.
Anyone got any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I'm going to apologize first because I don't have a real solution and my post will sound negative, but my experience may give some insight.
My experience is that Apple didn't get Windows printing "done right" until 10.5. Prior to that, I could never print to a Canon S800 printer attached to a Vista Ultimate machine. With the printer attached to a XP machine, I could print, but it would often fail. (Just no output and OSX saying printer was offline.) This was with a G3 B&W with 10.3 and a iMac with 10.4. And like you, I did try the IPP and LPD settings but just never got a usable setup.
Then I got a Macbook Pro with 10.5. Printing worked fine straight out of the box to the same S800 printer on Vista. Mac Mini with 10.5 worked also. Upgraded both to 10.6 and printing still works. Even a clean reload of 10.6 on the Macbook, Windows printing is fine. Also to a Epson R280 attached to the same Vista machine.
Windows 2008, having more in common with Vista and Win7, I'd guess that you may be having similar issues to me. I don't know of any fix, other than 10.5. If you have a friend with a newer Mac, then you can test it. (Otherwise, if you can upgrade your Mac to 10.5 or 10.6. But testing with a friend's Mac would save the cost of buying an OSX upgrade if it didn't work.)
Like I said, no real solution, other than possibly upgrading to 10.5/10.6. So maybe just a pointer to a different line of thinking. Good luck!
