Windows 2008 R2 with Connection Broker

Hi
Ive been trying to add windows 2008 r2 farm to vdi.
Ive done the steps to install the certificate etc on RDS hosts. I can add either one of the hosts as a desktop provider. But when i want to add 2 or more hosts to one desktop provider VDI complains the host belongs to a different farm. Although i've checked the farm names and loadballancing works.
whats the problem here ?

The name defaults to the hostname. it doesnt pull the farm name from the winrm if you mean that.
That command says it can not find resource.
C:\Users\Administrator>winrm e wmi/root/MicrosoftNLB/* -filter:"select ClusterNa
me from MicrosoftNLB_ClusterSetting"

Error number: -2144108544 0x80338000
The WS-Management service cannot process the request. The service cannot find th
e resource identified by the resource URI and selectors.
Basicly what i did.
Install RDS Host on 2 servers.
Install RDS Connection broker on 1 server
Add RDS hosts to Connection broker local secuirty group
Joined 2 RDS hosts to the connection broker and same farm. Enabled RDS Load balancing.
added DNS entries for farm name.
Installed selfssl certificate ect... for WinRM.
Here the steps were a bit different than in the docs. 2008 r2 is a bit different.
1. Cant install resource kit 6.0. but i got arround that no problem. I think i saw some IIS resource kit allready available in the Windows "Features" but nevermind. Selfssl worked.
2. I couldnt do the winrrm crate/config/listener.... command. I had to run winrm qc (quickconfig) first. And then it worked.
rest of the story u allready know :)

  • Upgrade of Integation Services (Windows 2012 R2) on Windows 2008 R2 with Exchange 2013 SP1 DAG fails

    Here is the scenario:
    Legacy Host: Windows 2008 R2
    Guest VM: Windows 2008 R2 with Exchange 2013 SP1 DAG cluster.
    After importing the VM (2008 R2 and Exchange 2013 DAG) into a 2012 R2 host (Cluster).  (copy VM files to new 2012 R2host) Everything works fine.
    Then upgrading "Installation Services" (for Windows 2012 R2 host) on the imported VM runs fine with no errors to the "Restart" prompt. VM than shows: "Configuring Windows updates 32% complete. Do not turn
    of your computer." Hangs there for about 20 minutes until is says "shutting down". Hangs there for 20 minutes until power off. Restart to normal start; "Preparing to configure Windows. Do not turnoff your computer." proceeds slowly
    to "Configuring Windows updates 32% complete. Do not turn of your computer." hangs there again indefinite. Sometime hangs at shutdown cycle and "Configuring Windows updates 32% complete. Do not turn of your computer." indefinitely.
    I moved 20 other machines from a 2008 R2 host to new Windows 2012 R2 hosts all of these machines install the 2012 R2 Integration services just fine on the 2008 R2 VM. Just the 2008 R2 VMs clustered (DAG) and Exchange 2013 SP1 do not take the Integration
    Services upgrade.
    Any advise from Microsoft? I know I could decommission the DAG and Exchange machines and install Integration services on the native box before Exchange and DAG and that would sure work, but I'd rather avoid that amount of work for a simple integration layer
    upgrade.

    Edited by: Manjug77 on Oct 29, 2009 2:45 PM

    Hello Manjunath.
    This looks like a configuration problem.
    Please check if IP_NETWORK is set to the name of your network adapter and
    if your IP_ADDRESS and IP_SUBNET are set to the correct values.
    Note:
    - IP_ADDRESS is a new IP address that is not used by any machine in the network.
    - IP_NETWORK is optional
    If you still get the same error debug your db2mscs.exe-call:
    See the answer from  Adam Wilson:
    Can you run the following and check the output:
    db2mscs -f <path>\db2mscs.cfg -d <path>\debug.txt
    I suspect you may see the following error in the debug.txt:
    Create_IP_Resource fnc_errcode 5045
    If you see the fnc_errcode 5045
    In that case, error 5045 which is a windows error, means
    ERROR_CLUSTER_NETWORK_NOT_FOUND. This error is occuring because windows
    couldn't find the "public network" as indicated by IP_NETWORK.
    Windows couldn't find the MSCS network called "public network". The
    IP_NETWORK parameter must be set to an MSCS Network., so running the
    Cluster Admin GUI and expanding the Cluster Configuration->Network to
    view all MSCS networks that were available and if "public network" was
    one of them.
    However, the parameter IP_NETWORK is optional and you could be commented
    out. In that case the first MSCS network detected by the system was used.
    Best regards,

    Hi
    i installed a fresh oracle linux and installes 11.2.0 database server. the server works fine but i have a proplem to connect to the database from a windows 2008 r2

    "connectstring" is not a valid attribute with Oracle's ODBC driver, so since there is no datasource attribute specified, the app is trying to connect to a local database, and since you don't have one, you get 12560.
    To resolve the problem, pass DBQ=      instead of  CONNECTSTRING=

  • Slow printing from windows 2008 R2 with Cisco 6509

    Dear All,
    I am having a wiered issue in my network. We have a windows 2008 R2 print server. Normal documents print's fine. If you print a image or pdf file, it takes a long time to print. For example a 2 MB PDF image with two page took me 10 minutes to print. The data from the server to the physical printer is really slow. To test it, i have loaded the driver on another windows 2008 R2 and the result is same slowness. We uses Xerox Colorqube 9303 printers.
    I have tried most options from microsoft which didnt help. I have installed a windows 2012 server to test if its specific to windows 2008, but the result remains same. Printing from a windows PC is perfectly fine; 32 bit PCs we have.
    I have seen someone got a solution to this by disabling ip local-proxy-arp, this is not enabled nor available in my switch.
    I have 6509 as core switch with IOS 12.2(33)SXH8. Does anybody come across such a scenario? Is there any special port configuration required for windows 2008 R2 to work normal?

    Hello
    Printing from a windows PC is perfectly fine; 32 bit PCs we have.
    - Printing directly from a computer which has the locally installed driver is printing fine.- it does seem to suggest the server or the network- however locally installed print drivers work fine so the communication to the printer from the client over the network seem to be okay.
    However the centrally installed print drivers means the processing job is now  with the server which is between the printer and client
    Whats the RTT from client and server and client to printer .etc?  - perform a extended ping to validate connectivity between all 3
    Have you hardcoded the server port to the nic setting of the server - Are the speed/duplex settings manually applied to the servers  if so make sure they are also manually set on the switch ports realting to these servers - this is apllicable to the printers too.
    Is the same driver used locally is also on the printer server correct?
    Whats printing protocol ( RAW) and port being used on the printer server
    Do you have print pooling setup on the server -(typo in last post)
    Are these printer shared in A/D and deployed by GPO -are the correct permissions set on these shares
    Check the printer permission on the spool folder also - users need at least read & execute privileges
    Have you manually cleared the print spooler folder and restarted the spooler service on the server?
    Are the print jobs being render to the clients or is the server taking the load of processing the print job?
    Any printer queue priorites set?

  • Windows 2008 problems with Delphi and the Crystal Reports VCL

    Anybody had any luck with Crystal XI using the VCL on a Windows 2008 machine?
    In testing we've found that everything seems to work, except that the user can not select a different printer.  When I go to the Printer Setup button, the panel that pulls up used to have, in previous Windows versions, a printer button inside the Printer Options box.  Windows 2008 does not, so the end user can not select a different printer to print to than their default.
    Anybody have any ideas on:
    1) Am I just doing somthing wrong
    2) A fix for the Crystal XI VCL that will address the probelm
    3) An option on how to call Crystal Reports from inside a Delphi program without the VCL?
    Obviously, I'm hoping I don't have to go with #3, but if that's the only solution I guess I need to know now.

  • Windows 2008 server with a Z77A-GD65 m/b?

    If you do this only for cost reasons, you should reconsider.
    My guess is this is some managerial directive.I agree with you that any flavour of *nix is better than Windows, but the reality is that there might be situations where a Windows-platform is better.
    If the entire server park is Windows, then the delivery will be better with a platform change. It's much likelier that the machine will stand abandoned in a corner, slowly rotting away if nobody really knows how to to manage the beast...
    The world isn't black and white, and it isn't always about which is the better technical platform. If it was, the whole world would be using *nix-servers... ;-)

  • Windows Server 2012 R2 Connection Broker migration

    Hi All,
    I'm in the process of a VMware to Hyper-V migration and whilst in the process rather than migrating the 2012 RDS VM's over to Hyper-V I have decided to setup a bunch of 2012 R2 VMs. My original setup was
    1 x Windows Server 2012 VM running RDSCB, RDSGW & RDSWA
    2 x Windows Server 2012 VMs running RDSSH
    My new environment runs
    1 x Windows Server 2012 R2 VM running RDSCB, RDSGW & RDSWA
    2 x Windows Server 2012 R2 running RDSSH
    I have the connection broker running in HA mode for SSO purposes and publishing the correct name.  This also made life easier when running the upgrade as I joined the new 2012 R2 VM to connection broker group which worked fine. 
    I then set the new 2012 R2 RDSCB VM as the active connection broker.  At this point the old 2012 VM was decommissioned (Without the RDS roles removed). As the old 2012 VM is now offline and un contactable when I add any new session hosts to the collection
    I see an error stating it can't contact the old 2012 RDSCB.
    I have been through the RDS connection broker database and removed any reference to the old RDSCB VM but this hasn't helped.  Does anybody have any other ideas or would you suggest re creating the collections from scratch?
    Alex

    Hi Alex,
    To avoid future problems I recommend you wipe out the RDS deployment and recreate it again so that you will have a fresh database.  There is no need to switch to HA mode just so that you can change the published name.  I created a cmdlet that allows
    you to change it in non-HA environments:
    Change published FQDN for Server 2012 or 2012 R2 RDS Deployment

  • JFServer.exe fault in Windows 2008 server with Central V 5.7

    I have an installation of Central 5.7 running 6 instances on Windows 2008 server 64 bit and have noticed that the six instances don't always come up when the machine is rebooted.  Here is the error that it logs in the Central Log. 
    "Open of table 'C:\Users\Userid|Appdata\Local\Temp\JFX8A00.tmp' failed.
    This also sometimes happens when I make changes to jobs in one of the instances and there seems to be no pattern wo what instances it happens in.
    This behavior does not appear to happen with Central 5.7 running on XP or 2003 server.
    Any thoughts on why this might be happening?

    This is a recently known issue specific to Central on Windows 2008

  • How to set a default printer using vbs on windows 2008 R2 with remote desktop services

    Hello
    It seems I wasn't in the right places before / threads. BIG Sorry.

    On any computer, the Default Printer "HisBadPrinter"

  • Oracle Database XE - apex on Windows 7 - Problem with Connection from another Windows 7 Computer

    Hello,
    I started with Oracle Database XE 11g, with apex, did the upgrade to Apex 4.2.6 and started in developing a small Application.
    I wanted to Connect to my Computer A (with Database runing on it) from another Windows 7 Computer B.
    So I put in in Firefox: //A:8080/apex but I only received a timeout.
    Of course on both Computers there is a windows-Firewall running, so I stopped on both Systems the Firewall, but its the same still.
    In the windows explorer running on Computer B , I can see the data of Computer A and both Computers are in the same home-net-group. (sorry for my poor english).
    Is there anyone who cann tell me how to get the Connection running ?
    Maybe I didn't see the info about this in the manuals, if it is there, please give me a hint.
    many thanks
