Windows 2008 Server Configuration - Help

Hello All,
I am not an expert in configuring servers and I have just started to learn. Please forgive me if I am doing something funny!
I have a router with static IP address and DHCP enabled on the router. The router had the following configuration as shown below and the clients were obtaining IP address from the router and using the internet without a problem.
Router Configutaion:
Basic Setting:
IP Address : 122.165.60.160 (My Wan Static IP)
IP Subnet Mask : 255.255.252.0
Gateway IP: 122.165.60.1
DNS Address:
Primary DNS : 203.145.184.32
Secondary DNS: 203.145.184.13
Lan TCP/IP Setup:
IP Address: 192.168.2.1 (Router IP)
IP Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP Enabled:
Statring IP : 192.168.2.11
Ending IP: 192.168.2.100
Now, I have installed Windows 2008 R2 Server with Active Directory, DNS and DHCP, IIS. I have created a few users and did nothing more than that in the server.
Server IP Settings
Server IP: 192.168.2.5
Subnet : 255.255.255.0
Gateway : 192.168.2.1
DNS: 127.0.0.1
And when I tried to join the domain i created... corp.globe.com the clients were not able to find the domain I therefore changed the following settings in the router.
DNS Address:
Primary DNS : 203.145.184.32
Secondary DNS: 192.168.2.5 (Server IP)
After this change the clients were able to join the domain and login as well. However the clients were getting the IP from the router. I am facing a lot of problems as listed below.
1. I am not able to ping the clients using the computer name from the server.
2. Clients cannot ping other clients or server using name. (Suppose if I try... PING SYS1 .... It looks like it is trying to ping some 92.x.x.xx IP address) even if SYS1 IP address is 192.168.2.13
3. Clients can access Internet, but I cannot browse anything in the server.
Please help me in the configuration, or point me to some guide which describes the same. I tried to set up and enable the DHCP server using Windows 2008 machine and I disabled it DHCP on the router, clients where able to get the IP address from Windows 2008
server, but they were not able to use internet. Please advise.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
And you cannot ping the clients using the computer name from the server?
Did you turn off the firewall on server and client?
If you are having problems connecting to Active Directory and you have already successfully verified network connectivity, there might be a name resolution problem. For more and detail information, please refer to:

Error connecting to the SAP SRV on Windows 2008 Server platform

Hi All
We have a problem with one of our clients they bought a new sbs windows server 2008 and we loaded sql 2005 and sap b1 SP01 PL07.
When we did the SBO install we experience connection issues and we created odbc connection on the server using named pipes and tcp/ip (used both server name and Ip address).
We also configured the server in configuration manager and we managed to login and solved the slow system connection issue. We also created odbc connection on the client machines. (Machine are on a workgroup and users have administration access on all machines),we also installed native client on all machines.
After the first batch of client installs we managed to have connection, they were other computers which were left out during the first client install and now the client want to do the remaining machines connected to SBO. On every machine that we install now we get the same error :-
*Connection failed:
SQLState:'08001'
SQl Server error:10060

Hi Eric,
yes we are using Windows 2008 SBS for the SAP EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0/NW7.01 installation.
we tried to create the key but it says access is denied.
Actual thing is we got the server with Windows 2008 server 64 bit SBS (standard FE) with Domain Controller (DC) configuration.
We have removed the DC using dcpromo to convert into Wokgroup and tried the SAP installation.
I hope you got the idea and please let me know any further suggestions or it is the problem with the license.
Thanks & Regards,
Prabhu Reddy.

Windows 2008 server OS authenticated user keeps failing

I have a new server that has windows 2008 server installed, 64-bit. I've installed oracle 11gR2 64-bit and have created my database. Now I need to create two oracle accounts that are OS authenticated and I can't seem to get this right. I've set os_authent_prefix in my spfile and I've created the user (example) OS$<domain>\<username> in the database. In Windows, the account name equals <username> and that account belongs to Administrators and ora_dba groups. I've tried creating the oracle user with <domain> in caps and lowercase, but both fail. On the server, the domain is all lower case.
So in SQL> create user "OS$my.domain.mil\user1" identified externally; (user created)
Grant connect to "OS$my.domain.mil\user1";
Log out of sqlplus, pull up command prompt in Windows 2008 server as 'user1' and type in "sqlplus /"
Invalid username or password.
What am I missing here? Any help appreciated.
SA feedback: "Finally, Windows Server 2008 R2 Operating System has a tighter security scheme than that of previous Windows OS.
Also, it would be helpful if I remove the AD domain controller role from this server. This may require reinstallation of this server (worst case). Let me know when I can do this so you can proceed with your configuration."

Hello Ricardo,
You may want to reference SAP Note 1054740 - SAP System Installation on Windows Server 2008
and ensure you are on SAP Netweaver 7.0 SR3 or above, and it will also tell you if the product you are installing is supported in Windows 2008 Server.
For database and SAP product combinations that are already
supported by SAP to run on Windows Server 2008, see the Product
Availability Matrix at: http://service.sap.com/pam
Also check the following: in Regedit.
SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\gpsvc
Right click on it and select "Permissions" in the context menu.
Provide "Full Control" for sidadm
Does the installation user has full administrative rights and belongs
to the group of LocalAdministrators and to Global Administrators also
when you are doing a domain installation ?
Please ensure the user <sid>adm has the access rights
to change the file system permission.

Windows 2008 Server boot loop and unable to log on in Safe mode

The Situation: I used msconfig to reboot Windows 2008 Server r2 into safe mode. On rebooting, boot progresses ok and the log in screen appears very quickly, then disappears and the machine reboots. I've tried typing the password very quickly and whether
I get it wrong or just can't get enough typed in time, I don't know, but the reboot loop continues. So, i can't log on and can't change safe boot back to normal.
I know Server 2008 uses bcdedit and no longer has a boot.ini, so I don't know if it is still possible manually to amend a boot file so it starts in normal mode again. Can anyone help me to break out of this boot loop without having to resort to anything
major, such as reinstallation?
Just to make clear, I haven't updated the system and the only change made was with msconfig to require safe boot on restarting.
Thanks

from the safemode try this syntax
Syntax: bcdedit /deletevalue {default} safeboot
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc721886(WS.10).aspx
http://www.virmansec.com/blogs/skhairuddin
How on earth is that a good answer? Sorry for the necrosis here of bringing up a post 9 months later, but I just ran in to this issue again. The OP said that he was STUCK IN A BOOT LOOP having placed himself in SAFEMODE already.
How is he supposed to type this in if he can't log in?
What worked for me was to keep striking F8 like a cobra during boot and telling it to use the Last Known Good Configuration option, after the 4th autoreboot, it let me log in and let me switch it back out of the safe mode and back to the normal boot. Yes,
I am aware this is quite lucky and now I don't have to rebuild all my server set up, and that your mileage may vary here, but, keep trying, you might be lucky.

Problem with 10.2.0.5 patch on Windows 2008 Server R2 64bit

Hello
I have HP server with Windows 2008 Server R2 64bit. I installed
latest 64-bit version of Oracle Database 10.2.0.4 and everything works fine and later installed the patch 10.2.0.5 (64 bits) as the Oracle maintains that with the R2 version of the system it is necessary to correct work.
Now, after uploading the patch database starts and closes
after about 15 minutes and my alert log file is changed to the binary version which do not see anything (means that after patch installation (10.2.0.5) the alert log file isn't normal text file and it looks like that:
Źýţ cśy iµ•eű .Ź ťy ťy Ř®y hčN)
You can read only the beginning and it's very large - 13 Mb after unpacking from ZIP.
Can anyone met with this configuration and knows how to solve
problem?
This is the link to my strange alert log file:
http://www.2shared.com/file/22MFap1V/alert_orcl.html
I attached my spfile.ora file too:
http://www.2shared.com/file/gUmID0fh/SPFILEORCL.html

Your alertlog is corrupted, it could be something about a virus or even a problem with disk drives. Have you scanned your server with anti-virus software? Have you scanned the disks?
Last questison: Have you upgraded your database after you installed the patch?
SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE
SQL> STARTUP UPGRADE
SQL> SPOOL patch.log
SQL> @ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\rdbms\admin\catupgrd.sql
SQL> SPOOL OFFIf not, please read the "readme" file which comes with patchset (do not just run the above commands without reading Oracle documention).

CF9 install on Windows 2008 Server R2

Hi everyone I've installed Cold Fusion 9 on my windows 2008 Server r2 box and everything appears to be configured correctly becuase I can get to the Cold Fusion 9 Administrator page just fine. I've looked within IIS 7.5 and it's recognizing the .cfm file I think becuase it's an option under default documents. However I try to view the file from the local host I get a error 500.0.
Module
IsapiModule
Notification
ExecuteRequestHandler
Handler
AboMapperCustom-77246
Error Code
0x800700c1
I have no idea what that mapper is or what it's supposed to do so if anyone could help me out I would be eternally grateful! Why oh why couldnt cold fusion 9 have native IIS support in it.
UPDATE
Apparently this error 500.0 gets applied to all my sites within IIS 7.5. Not just the one I intend to use .cfm files on. When I go into the web configuration tool and remove the configured webservers and restart everything goes back to normal but the .cfm files throw a 404.3 not found error for the following module.

Installing CF8.0.1 64 on Windows 2008 Serv

Does anyone have a set of instructions on installing CF8.0.1
64bit on Windows 2008 Server. I have tried on and off for the last
two weeks and have made no progress. The install goes great,
however the CF administrator component of the install fails with a
HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error. IIS7 worked fine prior to
coldfusion installation, however once CF 8.0.1 gets installed IIS7
appears to break. I've read the other thread in the forum and the
suggestions made there don't help or have already been done.
Module IsapiModule
Notification ExecuteRequestHandler
Handler AboMapperCustom-72626
Error Code 0x800700c1
Most likely causes:
- IIS received the request; however, an internal error
occurred during the processing of the request. The root cause of
this error depends on which module handles the request and what was
happening in the worker process when this error occurred.
- IIS was not able to access the web.config file for the Web
site or application. This can occur if the NTFS permissions are set
incorrectly.
-IIS was not able to process configuration for the Web site
or application.
-The authenticated user does not have permission to use this
DLL.
-The request is mapped to a managed handler but the .NET
Extensibility Feature is not installed.
Things to try (from the error summary page)
- Ensure that the NTFS permissions for the web.config file
are correct and allow access to the Web server's machine account.
- Check the event logs to see if any additional information
was logged.
- Verify the permissions for the DLL.
- Install the .NET Extensibility feature if the request is
mapped to a managed handler.
- Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this
HTTP status code.
Adobe in going to expect a $6700 check from me in another
week or so and the damn thing doesn't install to the point where
the demo's will run. Windows 2008 and IIS7 isn't that new and I
can't imagine that the number of people having done this is limited
to the one or two in this forum and that there is no technote avail
to us that have to depend on internet support and published
technotes that can document the installation procedure of CF 8.0.1
64bit on windows 2008.
It's the fourth of July and this is a fine place to be.
Happy 4th everyone!

Hi Everyone,

Crystal Reports 2011 not working in windows 2008 server CITRIX

Hi All,
We are using Crystal reports 2011 in windows 2008 server which is CITRIX farm., having crystal reports 2011 runtime in it..
We are using .net applicationton to run the reports.
The crystal reports parameter popup is getting opened. But the calendar icon is not fuctioning ..clicking on the calendar control no pop up appears. no error too..
OK button is not responding. Cancel button too.
Can you please help us why we are facing this issue in CITRIX only. When we are using the same version in desktop, Crystal report is working fine.
Please feel free to ask if required any more details about my problem.
Regards,
Venkat.K

Ido's idea is excellent, only addition I'd like to make is the following:
You are trying to run a .NET app. However, CR 2011 does not install any SDKs. So, the directory specified by Ido is not correct. Assuming that by CR 2011 you actually mean "SAP Crystal Reports, Developer Version for Visual Studio .NET", then the directory would be:
C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\Crystal Reports 2011\crystalreportviewers\prompting
If that does not help, use Process Monitor and see what the logs tell you (look for Access Denied messages).

Cant add a printer in Windows 2008 Server printer server HP LaserJet P1606dn

Hello,
I am trying to install a HP LaserJet P1606dn printer in a Windows 2008 Server Virtual machine.
The printer is connected to the corporate network and I am able to do ping from my desktop to the printer.
Then I follow this steps.
1.- Install the driver application for W2008 Server.
2.- Add printer in W2008 Printer Server.
3.-Select "add a local or network printer" as an administrator.
4.- Choose network printer
5.-Create a new port --> Standard TCP/IP Port
6.- Fill the host name ---> ("printer1") or IP address --> (XX.XXX.XX.13) I have tried the both options separately but with no result. And fill the port name
7.-At this stage . W2008 Server tells me that " the device is not found on the network" . Be sure that: .....
So, in select device type, I select "Standard" and "Generic Network Card" and click on Next
8.- Install printer driver -> I select the proper driver HP LaserJet 1606dn
9.- Install the printer driver ---> use the driver that is currently installed (recommend)
10.- Type printer name --> "printer1"
11.-Share printer name ---> "printer1"
Here, begins the problem. Trying to print a test page, It says me that "A test page has been sent to your printer", I can see the document in the queue, but the printer page it isn`t thrown away outside.
I dont explain myself why, I have done several trials, and I dont know what happens
I would be very grateful if somebody could help me to solve this issue
Many Thanks
Robert

Hi lespaul80,
1st- check if you can connect to your printer on web interface(in IE: \\printer ip address
and check under network setup if subnet mask and def. gateway setup
also if you have DNS setup check it too
check if you have SNMP options - desable it
on server try ad printer by direct IP and try use upd drive(PCL6 or PS)
Hope it help you

Windows 2008 Server crashed - How to find location of remote shared files that they used to access on remote web app?

We have a client that was running windows 2008 server. A previous IT person had setup their system, so we were walking into a situation where there were many unknowns. Server was mainly handling emails only, and we were able to get their exchange
database off and export PSTs to hosted exchange via microsoft.
Everything went fine with that, however one user said that he used to access files on the server via the remote web app as he described. He would go to the following url:
https://mail.theirdomain.com/remote/menu.aspx#
and he would use his login and then he would see several links to folders. He could then click on those and see his desired files.
We were able to get the server booted again, however we could not find any of the files he described on it at all, leaving me to suspect that perhaps this remote link was accessing another PC.
We have the old server up and running, however the link above is no longer active because we have pointed the domain to the new hosted exchange server. As I am still learning and my boss wanted me to research this on my own and figure out how to find
out where these files are located. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Just as a note I did try access mail.localhost.com/remote/menu.aspx# on the server but this did not work. Is there any way in the IIS 7 management console to figure out where this was pointing to?

I figured it out - The server was using sharepoint to host these files. I browsed localhost:987 and opened the sharepoint site locally on the server. They had several documents to be exported, however when clicking on Open in Explorer it was
giving an error that local client was not configured. I installed Desktop Experience and after that was able to open it in Windows Explorer and copy all files off.

Windows 2008 Server R2 - Service Pack 1 Failed to install

A few nights ago I deployed Service Pack 1 for Windows 2008 Server R2 x64. The update failed to install after 3 attempts using the Windows Update manager. After the third time I checked the system properties which states that SP1 is
installed, yet it never appeared to install successfully as my other server machine had a prompt stating the SP was installed successfully.
In update history it shows the 3 failed attempts with no successes. This morning I began running into memory errors which are impacting my 2 VM Ware sessions which in turn lock up my virtual machine so I am going to attempt to remove and reinstall
to see if this corrects my issue. By the way what triggered the install of SP1 is random reboots of my server. This is that unknown Kernal Power Error which I have yet to resolve. Some months my server randomly reboots one time and other
months 4-5x. That is neither here nor there, the point of this discussion is to resolve SP1.
I have tried to remove SP1 by means of Control Panel, Programs and Features, Installed Updates. So it shows the that the SP1 installed in multiple areas yet in the install history no signs of successful installation.
When trying to uninstall from Program and Features/Installed Updates section in control panel it cycles through like its going to uninstall, but after several minutes I receive the following error      Windows Update
An error has occurred. Not all of the updates were successfully uninstalled.
When trying to uninstall from the command prompt (as administrator) "wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:976932" I get the following popup            Windows Update Standalone Installer
Installer encountered an error: 0x80073712       The component store has been corrupted.
Now if I try and install through the network installer file name "windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe" I get "Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 is already installed"
I performed these steps in the order mentioned which I came across this "System Update Readiness Tool for Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 Edition (KB947821) [February 2011]" After applying this hotfix I went through the same steps as mentioned above with the
exact same results.
It is unfortuante I did not come across this hotfix before I attempted install SP1 as it appears as if this would have prepared the system for SP1 installation. Currently I am in limbo with a corrupt installation of SP1 and so far no means of uninstalling
short of a reinstallation or repair of the OS which I am not willing to do at this point in time.
If anyone has any suggestions please chime in and let me know what I can try. Thanks for all the support and hopefully this post will help others in the future.

Maybe a little bit late, but I was running almost same problem on a exchange server.
Scenario:
First attempt to Update the windows patches - excluded the patches from the last 2 months.
I was kind a new to this, and didnt noticed that Windows Service pack must have at least 8GB free disk space.(Recommended)
So the C:\ partition had less then 5 GB free disk space, and I started the updates.
All went well until Windows SP1 begun running to downloading and installing.
When the installer noticed there wasnt enough space, It stopped, it give the status Failed, en when scaling up the C:\partition with another 10GB more space, the C:\partition had 18GB free disk space.
Tried to Call up a new attemp to install the SP1... but with no succes to start the SP1 installation...
I tried to reinstall but the windows update didnt get offered again to install again or resume or anything to try again...
Maybe...it is handy for Mickysoft, to check before installing, so the install wont get corrupted, and can install when c:\ partition has enough disk space.
What was the trick:
1) Stop the windows Update Service
2) C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore - Delete content
3) C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download - Delete content
4) Windows update Service check if its runs again
5) Check again for windows updates - Check if Windows Server Service pack 1 is offered, and install reboot and youre good to go.
It works for me :) hopefully after 3 years you had found a solution, but since I was poping for a solution and found this article with no solution.
I tought it will be hopefull for others to respond to this article with a solution.
Kind regards,

Windows 2008 Server Std on T500

Hi. Is there anyway to install Windows 2008 Server Std. on a T500 with Windows 7 installed? We've tried to install it and the drivers are all screwed up -- the network, video, and other "base" drivers are all missing.

Has anyone done this successfully? Any instructions anywhere? Thanks.

Windows 2008 Server R2 & SAP Business One

Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with SAP Business One and Terminal Service on Windows 2008 Server R2? We are finding a number of issues with this configuration and we are looking for any feedback that is out there.
Here is the situation - our customer is running SAP Business One v2007 SP01 PL09 Hotfix4 on a Windows 2008 Server R2 machine. All users (15 max) access SBO via Terminal Service to this machine, which also holds the databases (SQL Server 2005). The machine currently has 20GB of RAM.
What we are finding is:
1) When any process related to SBO (SBO core or add-ons) consumes some portion of memory, none of that memory is ever released back to the O/S until SBO is completely closed. So over the course of a day each user ends up simply consuming more and more memory as forms are opened for transactions. While we do see this in Windows 2003 Server to some extent, at least some memory is released when a given form is closed.
2) Once the system hits a point where around 75% of RAM is consumed the users start seeing application "hangs" and are forced to manually terminate SBO (via Task Manager) and restart. There doesn't seem to be any paging or use of virtual memory (if my terms are right) in use.
3) If the system is busy and a new window/form is opened the new window immediately (within one or two seconds) presents the "Not Responding" message on the new window. Depending on the circumstances the application is simply waiting for resources and will continue opening normally.
I would appreciate feedback from anyone who has experience with Windows 2008 Server R2; and especially using it for Terminal Services. My personal feeling is that it is a platform that should be avoided but we would certainly like to hear what other folks have to say.

Ross Unger
