Windows 2012 DHCP Failover "Lost contact with partner"

We have stood up a pair of Windows 2012 DHCP servers and configured DHCP failover (in Load Balancing mode) as per the Microsoft Technet article. The two servers are on the same subnet, and time is in sync between them. Almost immediately after
configuring scopes to failover, one node loses contact with the other, and the alternate node goes to failover mode "Recover".
We have restarted both servers and services. Both DHCP servers show as available. Clicking "Replicate Failover Scopes" completes successfully with no errors, and the only two warnings in the Event Log are about credentials for Dynamic
DNS updates and a dynamic IPv6 address (which we don't use at all.)
How come they can replicate, but have "lost contact"; and how do we get the one out of "Recover" mode?

You should see Recover state only if one of the DHCP server actually went down and came back up. In this case the server which comes back up would be in Recover state but will transition to Recover_Wait state and come back to Normal after it syncs it
leases. This should be relatively quickly. Did your servers continue to remain in the Lost Contact...\Recover state for long.
Did you see any events in the DHCP Server admin channel
Microsoft\Windows\DHCP Server\Admin.
You can also enable AuditLogs (Microsoft\Windows\DHCP
Server\AuditLogs) which logs all the server to server messages. You can enable the log by right clicking on
Microsoft\Windows\DHCP Server. View->Show Analytical and Debug Logs. This will show the
Microsoft\Windows\DHCP Server\AuditLogs in event viewer. You can then right click and enable the log and see if there are any failures
being logged there.

I set my cRIO from 'DHCP' to 'link local' and lost contact with it.

I set my cRIO from 'DHCP' to 'link local' and lost contact with it.
I changed the setting at the placed labeled "2" to link local only, then I think I hit save at "3". Then poof, I had no network contact with my cRIO.
I tried;
Hitting the reset button
Opening a closing MAX
Going to safe mode
Throwing the Reset IP switch
Power cycling the cRIO
Running cat 5 cable directly from the Host to my target
None of it worked, and I have no contact with my cRIO.
This is what MAX looks like now. How can I fix this?
Solved!

Make sure to disable the firewall on your computer.
Otherwise you can check through the steps in this documentation:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/ABE4BC247E8AC9BC8625734E005CAB42
Note specifically that one option is to read the console out from the target VIA the serial port will a null modem cable during boot and it will indicate what IP the system is using.

My Photoshop Elements 11 has suddenly lost contact with my CanoScan 9000F with the following message..."CanoScan 9000. software for this device could not be launched. The drive is not connected or is busy." How do I regain connection?

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Server 4: Cannot connect to remote server: "lost contact with the AuthService"

Attempting to upgrade to Server 4; have Server 4 app on my local Mac to administer a remote Mac mini running Server 4. Server app 4 on the mini connects to itself; however, I cannot user Server app 4 on my local Mac to connect remotely to the mini. Have verified the machine name, user, and password are all correct (they haven't changed and worked fine under Server 3.2.2). Console on the local machine shows the following error:

Take it back where you got and and get your money back.
As has been pointed out, if there was a "previous owner", the phone is not "new". Thephone you purchased is most likely stolen. If whoever you bought it from won't give you your money back, turn it over to the police.

Muse Lost Contact with my Site

First of all, I'd like to tell you how bad it sucks to have to go through this process to get support. My recommendation of Muse just went from a 10 to a 4; this is unacceptable.
Out of NOWHERE, Muse lost contact with my site. I didn't do A SINGLE THING different, but now my site will no longer update. I've gone as far as to delete everything and starting over, uploading 80 pages and 787 files to try to make my site functional again, to NO AVAIL. Even though I've deleted the site, it is still active.
I've started 'fresh' 3 times. I have never had a problem linking a site to a URL, or Muse to a URL for updating. I'm frustrated and flabergasted. Now I'm at the mercy of the ******* COMMUNITY to get help with something ADOBE's malfunction/ dysfunctional product caused?!?! W T F .
How do I resolve this issue?

The best place to go for immediate support is Live Chat at <http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=muse&topic=using-my-product-or-service> and click on "I still need help…" and then "Chat now".
The best place to tap into a large group with very deep and broad experience using, developing and supporting Muse is here on the forum. Those active of the forum include fellow Muse users and members of the Muse Technical Support and Product Development Teams.
What specifically are you attempting that's failing? FTP Upload? Publish? Or something else? Can you provide a screenshot of what error(s) you're encountering so we can better understand how we can help? What's the URL for your site? Thanks.

Mounted Volume not shwoing up with Windows 2012 R2 failover cluster

Hi
We configured some drives as mounted volumes and configured it with Failover cluster. But it's not showing up the mounted volume details with Cluster Manager, it's showing the details as seen below
Expect support from someone to correct this issue
Thanks in advance

Hi LMS,
Are you doubt about the disk shown as GUID? Cluster Mount point Disk is showing as a Volume GUID in server 2012 R2 Failover Cluster I creating a mountpoint inside the cluster
and had the same behavior, instead of mount point name we had the volume GUI after volume label, that must by design.

DFS Replication doesn't work. Windows server 2012. Failed to communicate with partner. Error 5012.

Hi! I really confused with this error. I created replication group within two servers - AD domain controller and File server. I just want to migrate some files from AD domain controller to FS. But synchronization doesn't work. I get the error
- DFS Replication cannot replicate with partner <server name> for replication group <domain>\<name space>\<share>. The partner did not recognize the connection or the replication group configuration. The DFS Replication service used
partner DNS name MyDCName, IP address <the server ip>, and WINS address <server name> but failed with error ID: 9026 (The connection is invalid). Event ID: 5012
It seems my DC doesn’t accept connection from FS. I checked network, permissions and other settings which are mentioned in this article.
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/953be9ef-e9e3-4885-a5c4-47fc475ba562/dfs-is-not-working-anymore?Thread%3A953be9ef-e9e3-4885-a5c4-47fc475ba562=Microsoft.Forums.Data.Models.Discussion&ThreadViewModel%3A953be9ef-e9e3-4885-a5c4-47fc475ba562=Microsoft.Forums.CachedViewModels.ThreadPageViewModel&forum=winserverfiles

Thumbnails lost contact with originals in iPhoto '09 (8.1.2.) – can't view fullscreen or edit!

Over the past days my headache over the iPhoto '09 library has gone from bad to worse.
Starting with a few albums and events from last year, iPhoto has stopped displaying some photos (mainly landscape-oriented photos, upright photos seem to be working fine most of them) in fullscreen, edit mode and slideshows.
Browsing through the apple community I've realized that this issue may be due to thumbnails losing contact with original photos. Indeed, I can't seem to export photos to desktop or any other location. "Show original file" or "show file" only opens an empty Finder window, doesn't connect with the Picture folder or anything.
I've also tried entering the Library manually from another working photo, and can't seem to locate a number of pics. It seems the originals are simply lost.
Some of the missing pictures are irreplacable (like my son's birth!).
I'd be INCREDIBLY THANKFUL for any advice on how to save these photos.
Cheers/ AB

The simple and surefire solution is to restore from back up.
If files are missing then that's the only solution.
To rebuild the Library:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

WordPress Admin on A1 and D1-Series Windows 2012 R2 VM is Slow with Erratic Response - Can Improve?

Is there a way to make standard, small VMs more responsive and less erratic within WordPress admin?
This week I provisioned an A1 Ubuntu (LAMP) VM and an A1 Windows 2012 R2 (WIMP) to run WordPress sites with WooCommerce shopping carts (five to start with), and was disappointed with the slow TCP/IP response and processing, which made working in /wp-admin/
almost unbearably slow. The installs were primarily by-the-book default, having followed Azure documentation.
I decided I needed more power behind the VM so I provisioned a "Standard" WEST US - D1 Series, 1 core, 3.5 GB RAM 50 GB SSD VM with 2012 R2 and a WAMP stack installed via Web Platform Installer. This was a "stock" install with WP talking
to an localhost MySQL engine. The D1 experience was very similar to the A1 experience with a CPU in the teens-to-less than 50%. Memory usage never exceeded 50%, yet /wp-admin/ was very slow. Frequently database-heavy jobs, like WP-Optimize would time out.
*Note* Both A1 and D1 VM served up cached (front-end) web pages in around two seconds. Barely acceptable, but acceptable.
Throughout the week I noticed that the instance would slow to a crawl or become unresponsive. No HTTP response, and I could not RDP or FTP into the instance. PHP logs showed time-out errors as did MySQL logs. This happened two or three times a day. On Wednesday,
my instance rebooted automatically with a kernel stop error in the event logs. TCP/IP response was erratic and slowdown were sporadic.
*Note* Azure Status showed all green checks for the WEST US region whenever I had sporadic slowdowns or issues.
Late yesterday I provisioned a Rackspace Dallas Fort Worth Windows 2012 R2 2-thread core, 2 GB RAM, 50 GB raid-10 SSD VM with the same installation (Web PI WIMP - "stock"). The difference in response times is striking. Rackspace is around a second
faster for most network GETs.
I've invested a lot of time in Azure (have thirty small non-VM web-sites) and like the flexibility, but not the slow and erratic VM response. I've researched a lot of blog posts here and on Stackoverflow but haven't been able to speed things up. Is there something
special that can be done to improve processing WordPress on Azure VMs?

Hi,
Based on my experience, in general, you can get better performance with a larger size of an Azure VM.
Why don't to create a WordPress website from the gallery in Azure and select the region closest to you as the hosting location?
Create a WordPress website from the gallery in Azure
Besides,
an unexpected restart of an Azure VM may be
due to
Windows Azure deploys updates to the host OS to provides a reliable, efficient and secure platform for hosting your applications. If the VM is not in an availability set, the notification would be sent to the Account administrators.
It is recommended to add two or more virtual machines in an Availability Set. This configuration ensures that during either a planned or unplanned maintenance event, at least
one virtual machine will be available and meet the 99.95% Azure SLA.
Why
did my Azure VM restart?
Manage the availability of virtual machines

Windows 2008 r2 guests blue screen on Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster with e5 2670-v2 processors

Hello all,
We have a new hyper-v infrastructure deployed in two brand new Dell R720 Servers with 384GB of Memory and dual Intel e5 2670-v2 processors. This infrastructure is replacing an existing hyper-v 2008 R2 and all the guests are being migrated to this new cluster.
The issue we are seeing is our 2008 r2 guests blue screening ocasionally with 0x0000001a,0x0000004e or 0x00000050 bugchecks.
All this guests are configured with dynamic memory and with the integration components up to date. These same guests were running with no problems in the hyper-v 2008r2 cluster.
When searching i found this article from vmware that pretty much describes what we are facing:
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2073791
Are you aware of the same problem with this kindd of hardware on windows 2012 r2 hyper-v?
Thanks!
Nuno Carvalho

Meanwhile i found this May 2014 update on the intel specification of the CPU we are using:
CA135 Incorrect Page Translation when EPT is enabled
Problem:
If EPT (Extended Page Tables) is enabled, then a complex sequence of internal processor events may result in unexpected page faults or use of incorrect page translations.
Implication:
Due to this erratum a guest may crash or experience unpredictable system behavior.
Workaround:
It is possible for the BIOS to contain a workaround for this erratum.
Status:
For the affected steppings, see the
Summary Tables of Changes.
This affects VMware as of the today update of the article i referenced in the first post, what about hyper-v?

Windows 2012 storage server and tier with external SSD disks

Hi
My query is in case I have one SAN storage with SSD and FC disks connected to Windows 2012 storage server, will Windows be able to manage Tier between two types of disks if the volumes are properly assigned and formated?
Regards
Short answer: No, not automatically. Long answer: Yes, it can be done but with some tricks. First you'll have to make your SAN export LUs built from flash and from spindles. At least one of each (see URL below). Then you'll have to build storage spaces (even
clustered but that's not officially supported for non-SAS disks) from them.
See:
Configure Tiering with Windows Server 2012 R2
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askpfeplat/archive/2013/10/21/storage-spaces-how-to-configure-storage-tiers-with-windows-server-2012-r2.aspx
Both LUs would have non-SSD type reported so you'll have manually assign types with PowerShell what's flash and what's spindle.
"Notice that the SSD devices were detected as SSD media. However, in this case the physical drives show as unknown.
If yours are not detected like in this example, they should be set correctly which can be done using PowerShell. "
Hope this helped :)
