Can we run domain controller windows 2008 32 bit and additional domain controller on 2003 server

im my environment we are trying to upgrade from server 2k3 to 2k8, out testing done on server 2k3 to 2k8, but can we run domain controller windows 2008 32 bit and additional domain controller on 2003 server ...kindly suggest

Yes you can. If you have two 2003 AD servers currently and upgrade one of them to 2008 AD then they'll continue to be able to work together. The domains functional level will remain as 2003 across both servers so at this stage you won't get any benefit from
the new AD functionality available in 2008.
Once you've then upgraded the second 2003 server to 2008 you can then upgrade the functionality levels in AD to make it 2008. It's been a while, but I believe it doesn't happen automatically, so once all AD servers have been upgraded you have to go into
AD and upgrade the functionality levels yourself.

FIM 2010 R2 Sp1, Windows 2008 R2 SP1 and Recycle Bin issues

Hi,
We are running FIM 2010 R2 Sp1 (build 4.1.3613.0)
Also running Windows 2008 R2 Forest and Domain functional level environment. (Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 on all DCs). The previous Recycle Bin hotfix https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/979214/ fails to install since we are already running WS08 R2 SP1
on all the DCs.
During deprovisioning, when a user is deleted from the source HR system, FIM deletes the object from AD, FIM Sync & Portal.
FIM also manages a FIM Portal group, where membership is assigned manually. This membership is then updated in AD.
When a user (who is part of this group) is deleted in HR, FIM deletes it from AD, FIM Sync, FIM Portal, FIM also removes user from FIM Portal group. The user is also removed from the AD group (by FIM group object membership attribute flow to AD)
...however, on the next AD Export, FIM fails to update the same group and complains about this very same user (CD Error) and lists the user as: CN=username\0ADEL:GUID, CN=Deleted Objects,DC=domain,DC=com
It appears that there is a problem with FIM and the Recycle Bin again?
Are there any new Recycle Bin/FIM hotfixes ?
Thanks,
SK

May I suggest you review the following:
Is the AD MA user account part of the Domain Admins group? If yes, please remove it from this Group
Verify that the "CN=Deleted Objects" container has not somehow been included in the AD MA OU scope

Clustering, unix symbolic links, and war files

          Hello,
          we use symbolic links in our web application to a large shared storage device.
          This works when running a single server, when the application is not a war file.
          When we cluster the application, the admin server creates a war file, blindly
          follows the symbolic links and tries to include all files in the shared storage
          device. Bad!
          Is there a work-around to this problem in a clustered configuration?
          -Thanks-


          hi,
          can you tell me know you deploy your app to the cluster member
          manually? do you run each member as an admin server? how do
          you group them into a cluster then?
          thanks,
          yan

Windows 2008 Web Server and Crystal Reports Runtime 10 comptability

We have migrated a website that was previoulsy on a Wndows 2003 server using IIS6 and Crystal Reports Runtime v 10 on ASP.NET 2.0
After migrating the website, and installing the Crytal Reports runtime, we are getting application errors related to Crystal Reports Runtime in event viewer and the browser.
For one is Crystal Reports Runtime v10 compatible with Windows 2008 Server, IIS 7 ?

No it is not. You're looking for about a 5 year forward compatibility. At this time, only CR 2008 (12.x) and Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 (10.5) are supported on WIN 2008. See [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=56787567] blog for more details.

Slow printing on windows 2008 std, R2 and windows 2012

Hi All,
I have a print server which is configured on windows 2008 R2. We are experiencing slow printing when printing directly from the server or from a client through the server. Small sized files prints fast, anything which has image takes a long time. All the
printers in our organization are Xerox Colorqube 9303. When installed the driver directly on to windows 7 32 bit PC, it prints without any delay. Also, when prints from the server a 2 MB file becomes 15 MB or more while sending. We have tried PCL6 and PS drivers.
To replicate it, i have installed a windows 2012 server ended up with the same result. Installed windows 2008 standard 32 bit with SP2 and the result remains same. Also tried it on windows 8, 64 bit without any luck. So effectively, it works fine only when
directly installed on a windows 7 PC. I have disabled all three: disabling TCP Chimney Offload, RSS, Receive Window Auto-Tuning .
After shooting the print, if you observe the printer properties, it sends data at a very low rate which results a 10 MB documents prints take around 10 minutes. At the same time, file copying from the server to and fro is working normally. All these servers
are directly connected to the cisco 6509 core switch. All the above tests were performed on the same physical switch. The server and clients are on the same network (subnet).
Have anybody come across to a similar issue. Any useful suggestions would deeply appreciated.
Thanks,
Prince Mathew

Hi Prince Mathew,
Based on your description, this issue seems that it’s related to this specific model printer (Xerox
colorqube 9303). Please install the latest version of the driver and the firmware from Xerox website, and then check if this issue still exists.
If it still persists, please clear Printer Spooler Files and enable the Spooler Service again.
For details, please refer to.
1. Click Start, run "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks).
2. In Services list, please double click "Printer Spooler". Then click
Stop, and then click OK.
3. Please locate to: "%WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers", delete all files in this folder.
4. Click Start, run "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks). In Services list, double click
"Printer Spooler". Click on Start. In the Startup Type list, make sure that "Automatic" is selected and click OK.
Then check if this issue can be solved.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

ThanksInstall the Oracle client and use the Oracle driver. You're going to need it whether you use the MS driver or Oracles. ODBC drivers do not work apart from the client of the underlying database product.
When you do the install, you will need to do a custom install and specifically select for the Windows components.

"/usr/lib is not a symbolic link" and testify+libjpeg7 problem

everytime I update pacman or do a "ldconfig" I get this:
/sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/ is not a symbolic link
this appeared by the time i installed libjpeg7 from aur (though I'm not 100% sure libjpeg7 is responsible). I've looked through google trying to find out what it means and if it is a problem, but nada! but, while at libjpeg, even though I installed libjpeg7 I can't compile testify (spotify linux-client). I get this error:
In file included from image.c:31:
jmemsrc.h:26: error: conflicting types for 'jpeg_mem_src'
/usr/include/jpeglib.h:959: note: previous declaration of 'jpeg_mem_src' was here
make: *** [image.o] Error 1
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
when i make /usr/include/jpeglib.h link to /usr/include/libjpeg7/jpeglib.h the compile and install is successful, BUT, testify crashes telling me:
Wrong JPEG library version: library is 80, caller expects 70
if more info's required, I'll provide andif I'm raising a problem already raised (I know there's been a lot of hassle since the upgrade), I'll gladly follow a link to solution.
edit: the "not a symbolic link" appeared after installing libspotify0.0.3. installed it on another computer, and same thing appeared. though, would still like to know why it appears...

In-place upgrade Windows 2008 to 2008R2 and effects on SharePoint

I have a SharePoint farm, with a WFE running on Windows 2008 64 bit. THe APP and SQL server both use 2008R2. It's a complicated setup, with many custom applications. Rather than a fresh install, we would prefer to maintain our current applications and configuration.
Can I perform an in-place 2008R2 upgrade? Will it affect SharePoint? The Farm?
Backup strategies?
Thanks,

Hi Scott,
Operating System in place upgrade is NOT supported with SharePoint 2010. It is recommended that building a new Win2008 R2 and restoring a backup of your SharePoint 2010.

Windows 2008 R2 cluster and FTP-connection

Hi,
We have windows 2008 r2 server cluster. There is a resource which is connected by the third part
via ftp. When they establish the connection, there is configured ip-address to certain node.
When we manage cluster, it might happen that the resource is left on the other node and when they
establish next time the ftp-connection, it says that can't connect. I've made similiar usernames with
similiar passwords on both nodes.
Is there a possibility to configure the environment so, thta ftp-connection is not depend on which
node the resource is?

Content Transfer Archive Link and sap viewer

Hello,
I configured archive link to view attached documents with the sap viewer via HTTP. The document is stored in a external Content management system. When I try to retrieve a document, the sap system genereates a request to my external archive server. The server sends a response back to sap. But will the content directly go from the archive server to the sap viewer application or will the content travel to the sap server and then to the client pc? For example: the sap server is in australia, the client PC in the USA and also the repository and archive server is in the USA. Will the content travel to australia and then back to the client PC in the usa?
Thanks,
Nicole

Hi Nicole,
As far as i know when you create a document in you Content server SAP creates a link to that document, When your frontend request a document, SAP forward you to that link and SAPviewer retrieve the info directly from the Content server to the frontend.
Hope this help!

Windows 2008 AD Sites and Services: Multiple Connection links between same sites

Hello,
Our AD Sites & Services is showing Multiple Connection links between the same sites. How is this possible and can i delete extra ones?

Hi,
As Calin Liviu mentioned, you do not have to manage connection objects. In fact, changes that you make to connection objects that the KCC creates automatically are ignored.
If the site is added to more than one site link, it might be an interim site between other sites that are added to this site link.
