Windows 2008 R2 RODC + Branch Office

I'm looking at utilising a new RODC in a small branch office but I have a copuple of queries that hopefully someone can point in the right direction.
Is it possible to move a RODC to a new Site / Subnet like you can with a normal DC. I plan to build the rodc and then move it to the new office once the sites / subnets have been created.
I think I need to run ADPREP / rodcprep to install this server. I currently have 2 windows 2008 rc domain controllers and 1 windows 2003 (soon to be retired).
Plan:
Adprep the domain
Build Windows server and promote to RODC
Create new site and subnet
POwer down RODC
Move RODC to the new site within AD and physcially move to site
Does this sound feasible?
Many thanks

Greetings!
Promote your RODC and let it replicate the content from RWDC, after that move RODC within new site and then move the server to new location with yourself.

  • Migrating branch office 2008 R2 file servers to 2012 R2 with DFSR complications

    We have 1 head office File Server and 4 branch office Servers that replicate back to head office using DFSR.  We would like to move to 2012 R2 to take advantage of the deduplication features etc.  What's the best way to do this?  Do we do
    a re-install as per this article:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/askds/archive/2010/09/10/replacing-dfsr-member-hardware-or-os-part-5-reinstall-and-upgrade.aspx
    Leaving data disks untouched and simply attaching them again and then do the same for each branch office?  We cannot afford to replicate the entire data set across the WAN links again.
    Anyone had any experience doing this?  Any advice appreciated.

    Hi,
    Do you want to migrate the branch office 2008 R2 file servers to new 2012 R2 servers or in-place update the severs? 
    If you in-place update the servers, you need to do a re-install as per the article mentioned. The entire data will be replicated again.
    If you migrate the files servers to new servers, here is our suggestion to migrate DFS-R branch server.
    1. Add a new branch server.
    2. When initial synch is finished (event 4104 for every replicated folder).
    3. And then wait for AD replication.
    4. Then remove the old branch server as usually.
    To prevent large network synchronization flow, pre-seed the data with backup program to copy the amount of information from older branch server to the new branch server, this should be lower the replication network flow during initial replication.

  • Install windows server 2012 DC on Branch office

    Hi ALL,
    i am planning to install a secondary DC on our branch office where currently they are on different domain and forest. our head office is currently on windows server 2008 R2 std, where forest and domain functional level are on windows server 2003. our headoffice
    domain name is:- (corpoffice.org) and branch office domain is:- ssl (its a single level domain on windows server 2003).
    am thinking to upgrade our headoffice DC to windows server 2012 r2 and the same i wanted to do for branch office as well.
    i need some guidance how to proceed with this DC setup as both vlan network is different and all the client settings are different. am getting few query like
    1. should i upgrade my headoffice DC first before i setup the branch office DC.
    2. how the branch office client will communicate to new DC.
    any suggestion and guidance would really helpful.
    Thanks
    srini

    Hi
    You will need to make sure all the ports are open for traffic to move between both DC's. Also need to check that you dont have replication problems, IE, slow link. First step would be to see if you can ping the HO DC from the branch, then once you have established
    that you have all the ports open and your VLAN is routing traffic correctly then you can start with your DC setup.
    You can first upgrade your DC, look at this blog:

  • Windows 8.1 laptop not connecting to domain in branch office

    We have a problem with a laptop. 
    It is installed in our Head office (The Netherlands), just like all other laptops by using an image.
    Tested and working on the domain.
    The user had to go to one of our branch offices (China) and when he connected there, the laptop just won't connect to the domain.
    When he plugged in the laptop, it keeps trying to connect it's directaccess.
    Other laptops (same image) immediately recognize the domain network, but this laptop just won't.
    I am able to ping everything on the local network (MPLS connection), from HQ to all Branch offices but not access them.
    I've tried changing the DNS settings, but without any result.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    According to this tool's description, I think it should be helpful to check system current enviroment, such as network, certificates, etc. problem. Actually according to your description, I doubt it probably network enviroment of ISP problem, but we should
    find a way to verify our suspect. Then this tool would be convenient, it also would generate a trace log and it would be helpful with troubleshooting.
    The DirectAccess Client Troubleshooting Tool is a graphical application, based on the .NET Framework, which checks the health of a DirectAccess client by running various tests.  Built-in health tests: The following tests are currently implemented:

    we have firewall setup in our main office with following setup:
    we are running DC on Windows 2008 Servers with MS Exchange 2010, lync 2010 and ip phone as well.
    planning to setup AD replication to our branch offices for network drive access and group policy update; kindly advice on this.

    Hi
     i think you mean about best practice topology.
    First of all,you will add Additional Domain Controllers on your branch offices.Also This ADC will have DNS,DHCP role based.And will deploy a File server.
    Important point is structure you want to build.
    This is a detailed article about domain topologies, So please check this article about your questions;

  • Auto deploying branch office printers with Direct Access

    Hello there
    I am implementing my first Direct Access topology and have a question. We will have branch offices with workstations deployed using Direct Access for administrative purposes. We have staff moving around from branch to branch with the goal to
    make logging on to the network and accessing resources for users as automated as possible. One of the questions I have regards auto configuring branch printers for users using Group Policy. The branch offices have workstations, printers and NAT modem/routers
    with DHCP - but no servers.
    If we have a stand alone network printer, how do we list that printer in Active Directory allowing the user to auto-configure it using group policy? If we install it on a server at Head Office, would the print job travel there first and then back to
    the branch? Obviously this is not ideal. Or can it be directed straight to the printer using a script or something?
    Alternatively we can install and share it on a branch workstation and list it in the directory, but would this not be same the problem as above? This is not ideal either as it would depend on the workstation being always on and available.
    Any input Direct Access gurus?
    Thanks in advance
    MIS5000

    Hi,
    Thanks for your post.
    We could have 2 possible solutions for natively deploy printers using Group Policy without the need for any scripting:
    1) Group Policy Preferences – available in Windows Server 2008 and later
    2) Print Management – available in Windows Server 2003 R2 and later
    http://blog.powershell.no/2009/11/08/deploying-printers-using-group-policy/
    Did you try to use the Print Management? You can share printers on a network and centralize print server and network printer management tasks using the Print Management Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in. Print Management helps you to monitor print
    queues and receive notifications when print queues stop processing print jobs. It also enables you to migrate print servers and deploy printer connections using Group Policy.
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731857.aspx
    Meanwhile, if you have any Direct Access related issue, I think you may ask in network forums:

  • BO XI 3.1 SP2 error while installing in Windows 2008 ENT Server 32 Bit

    Hi
    We have  windows 2008 enterprise edition 32 Bit SP2 , While installing  BO 3.1 SP2 we are getting the following error.
    "Some files could not be created.
    Please close all applications, reboot Windows and restart this installation."
    1.we do have enough space as well as we are installing it through administrator account.
    2.I increase the virtual memory size from 2 GB to 4 GB, still same error.
    3.we downloaded the software in two diffrent machines. We tried extracting the "exe" file in two machine but still getting the same error.
    4.We dont have any firewall connected and windows firewall is off.
    Is there BO 3.1 Sp2 is available for windows 2008 ent server 32-Bit?
    Because In the download site there is Windows Server on IA32 32-bit.
    is it the correct version?
    Please help us to solve this problem
    Thanks

    We have opened a ticket for this. After subsequent discussion with the forum support person we have installed BO Enterprise 3.1 SP2 fixed pack 2.5 on the server (Windows Server 2008 SP2). On the client side, we have also installed BO Enterprise 3.1 SP2 fixed pack 2.5 and Live Office SP2 fixed pack 2.5.
    Once we tried to use the Web Intelligence document based on OLAP Universe in excel through Live Office it gives the following error.
    "Failed to get the document information. (LO 26315)  A database error occured. The database error text is: Failed to set properties (The component Microsoft® OLE DB Provider for Analysis Services returned server error (Database 'Sales' does not exist.)). (WIS 10901)(6315)".

  • I just upgraded to Lion 10.7.2 and it says that it will not support Power PC programs so my 2008 version of Mac Office and Intuit Quickbooks are blanked out.  I need these programs.  How do I proceed?

    I just upgraded to Lion 10.7.2 and it says that it will not support Power PC programs and has blanked out my 2008 version of MS Office for Mac and Intuit's Quickbooks.  How do I proceed to get these programs back?

    Upgrade to newer versions compatible with Lion or downgrade to Snow Leopard:
    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

  • KMS Error 0xC004F015 on Windows 2008 R2 - Does anyone have the correct fix for this please?

    I am in the process of migrating my KMS server from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2 64-bit. My Windows 2003 server has been happily providing my Windows 7 clients with licenses for well over a year. I have followed these migration steps in this forum article:

    I cannot get passed step 5. As soon as I try step 5 with my Windows 7 KMS key I receive error 0xC004F015. Despite reading countless articles on Microsoft forums and also speaking the Microsoft licensing who frankly were of no help at all, I am none the wiser
    how to resolve this fault. My questions are:
    1. Should my Windows 2008 R2 server be licensed with a MAK or KMS key? Does this matter?
    2. Some articles I have read suggest if you use a Windows Server "C" license then you do not need to use a Windows 7 KMS key. I've tried this but it just tells me I have insufficient licenses.
    3. When installing my windows 7 license key via the slmgr /ipk command should I be using my Windows 7 Professional KMS key? This works fine on my old Windows 2003 server, but Windows 2008 does not like it at all. Would I be better simply moving my KMS server
    to a Windows 7 desktop instead?
    4. I also want my Windows 2008 R2 to carry out my KMS activation for Office 2013. Can this run on the same server as my Windows 7 KMS key should I ever get it to work
    Thank you anyone who can shed some light on this absolutely baffling error. Surely some one out there has the definitive answer.

    Hi,
    on your KMShost, if that is a WindowsServer OS, you cannot use a WindowsClient (WinVista/Win7/Win8/Win8.1) KMShost product key, you must use a WindowsServer KMShost product key.
    Further, the KMShost product key must match the OS of the KMShost machine (or exceed/better it).
    e.g. if your KMShost machine is WS2008R2, you must use a WS2008R2 (or higher e.g. WS2012 or WS2012R2) product key.
    If you will use a higher product key, you will need to install the relevant patch package to do so.
    When you install a Windows KMShost product key onto a machine, the Windows KMShost product key completely replaces the previous Windows product key of that machine [it serves two purposes, (1) replace the previous key, (2) activates the KMShost feature].
    So, your KMShost is neither licensed as MAK nor KMS, it becomes a KMShost.
    For WS2008R2 KMShosts, you can install one of 3 types (channels/groups) of KMshost pkey.
    The channel/group pkey you choose, is based upon the maximum product editions you wish to perform KMSclient activations for.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff793411.aspx
    For your issue #2, are you attempting to install your Windows7 KMS key upon the KMShost or a KMSclient?
    For your issue #3, are you attempting this upon a KMSclient? (Volume License editions on Win7Pro or Win7Ent, are already pre-loaded with a KMSclient pkey, so you should have no need to alter the client keys). As previously mentioned, no Win7 key is needed/possible
    for the KMShost, if the KMShost is WS2008R2.
    For your issue #4, yes, your WS2008R2 KMShost can also act as KMShost for Office2010 and/or Office2013, this requires a further patch, and the installation of the relevant Office KMShost pkey.

  • Branch office logic from SD

    The business scenario I'm trying to address is:
    we have multiple customers/shiptos that order, have credits issued for, and an individual credit limit set - but one corporate office that pays all of the bills and wants to take credits from shipto A for a balance on shipto B. 
    I know about and have set up the head office/branch office relationship and about setting the Payer partner to = the head office.  The problem with this set up is that it rolls into one credit limit (head office customer) rather than each branch having it's own.  If I change the payer to = the branch office, then it does not show up within open items or cash app in FI under the head office.
    Has anyone figured out how to keep seperate credit accounts for the branch offices but apply cash from a corporate level?

    The variable WDSSERVER is a variable that is figured out by MDT when booting a machine using the boot image created by Microsoft Deployment Toolkit. Therefore it is not available in Windows.
    If you want different WSUS servers depending on location of the client you can use for instance this technique in CustomSettings.ini. This will point clients on a specific subnet to a specific WSUS server.

  • Branch office WDS still pullinh image from main site

    Hi,
    I'm trying to configure a WDS on our branch site.
    what i did was open a new folder named DeployFilesFromMaster on the branch office server and replicate the DeploymentShare from main to branch office using DFS.
    then i installed WDS services on the branch office and add a Boot Image (taken from DeployFilesFromMaster)
    next i configured, under Scope Option on the DHCP server, options 66 (giving the ip address of the branch WDS), and option 67 (giving the path \Boot\x64\wdsnbp.com).
    now when I'm booting a computer into PXE it start working, but when pressing F8 and use the netstat command i see it has a session to my main office deploy server instead to the branch office.
    what do i need to change?
    when looking in the branch office server, there is ofcourse the DeployFilesFromMaster folder and there is another folder named DeploymentShare that was made while installiing the WDS server, and there is a wdsnbp.com file as well. how do I know, when DHCP
    direct me to the boot file name, that it direct me to the right file, or it doesnt matter.
    thanks for your help

    The variable WDSSERVER is a variable that is figured out by MDT when booting a machine using the boot image created by Microsoft Deployment Toolkit. Therefore it is not available in Windows.
    If you want different WSUS servers depending on location of the client you can use for instance this technique in CustomSettings.ini. This will point clients on a specific subnet to a specific WSUS server.
    [Settings]
    Priority=DefaultGateway,Default

  • Branch  Office Setup Error.........

    hi all,
    when i try to do branch office setup from the webtogo server,the download hangs at one point and dislays this error........ this error does not appear when i do normal setup......
    webtgo.exe bad image
    "..............mysync_java.dll is not a valid windows image . please check against your installation diskette"

    i try to download on windows 2000 professional and 2000 server.....

    Thanks,

    Hi again
    This are my findings up to this moment
    managed somehow to pass the authentication problem and reached this exception

         at oracle.lite.sync.HeliosSession.startSession(Unknown Source)
    To reach this point:
    - set the m_conn private member of the heliosSession class with reflection with value from Consolidator.getConnection()
    - set the m_client_id public member with username
    - set prviate m_passwd private member of heliosSession with reflection with the password.
    - to advance, changed in table mobileclient.c$etc_passwd with userpassword instead of null. somehow seems that heliossSession class, in initconvis method is comparring password from the file with that one, that is null. I don't know all the implications of this.
    Hope it helps
