Windows Server 2012 Member Server Time Sync Issue.

We are running in a situation where our Windows Server 2012 member Server not syncing the time from Domain Controller
Time Source is pointing to Local CMOS Clock.
Trying to Sync forcefully it getting the error as the computer did not resync because no time data available.
Performed unregistered the time service and registered the service same issue.

Hello,
This seems not related to SQL Server but more related to IIS.
Try setting the trust level to full using the following article:

How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes? I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini. Thanks.

How do I sync my new ipad mini with my old ipad 2, without losing any apps or data in notes? I need step by step instructions for first-time sync with ipad mini. Thanks.

If you synced it many times, you have to have a backup. It's just a question of how old that backup is now. When did you last sync?
First of all launch iTunes on your computer and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see any backups for you iPad in that window? If so, how new is the newest backup? That will be the backup that you will want to use. But remember that if you use that backup and it is one month old, you can only restore from that date back in time. Anything that you did on the iPad in the past month will not be in that backup.
Turn on the new iPad Minin and start activating OTA via WiFi. You will get to a certain point in the process where you will be given the choice to Set up as new, Restore from iCloud - or Restore from iTunes. You will want to select Restore from iTunes.
That is the short and sweet version. There are step by step instructions in this article. This applies to the mini as well as the iPad 4 or the iPad 3 for that matter.

Setting up Time Sync when all domain controllers are virtual machines?

We have 2 existing server 2008 domain controllers on 2008 Hyper-V. We plan to set up a third domain controller in a new AD site at a remote site that will be Server 2012 R2 on 2012R2 Hyper-V.
PDC role DC is on one of the DCs in the original site.
How should time syncing be set?
From what I've read, all Hyper-V time synchronization between the virtual domain controllers and their Hyper-V host should be disabled.
So, do we set up the PDC virtual machine to sync to an external site source and then expect the other 3 domain controllers to automatically sync with the time of the PDC?
What happens with this process during a PDC reboot or if that PDC role domain controller becomes unavailable for any other reason? Does one of the other DCs then take over the role of domain time source even through they don't have access to the external
time source?
Should we also turn off Hyper-V time syncing for every Hyper-V guest that is a member of our domain (since they should also be getting their time from a domain controller) or only turn off the Hyper-V time sync for the domain controllers alone?

Simply make sure that time sync is disabled on your Hyper-V VM. For time configuration in AD domain, I have documented that here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/18573.time-synchronization-in-active-directory-forests.aspx

They don't take over the role of PDC. The downtime of your PDC should not take a long time. That is why it is important to regularly monitor the health status of your DCs using SCOM or third party tools. The one I usually recommend is
Lepide Auditor - Active Directory: http://www.lepide.com/lepideauditor/active-directory.html. The solution allows you also to trackchanges
in your AD domain.
Should we also turn off Hyper-V time syncing for every Hyper-V guest that is a member of our domain

I would recommend turning off the Hyper-V time sync on all your Hyper-V VMs that are domain-joined.

Please help...i have a windows 2012 server and it keeps closing after 30 mins...

hi. i have a windows 2012 server and it keeps closing after 30 mins...i am connected thru RDP and have looked everywhere online for a tutorial to change the setting that keeps closing it but can't find it anywhere! please help!

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Have you check the timeout and reconnection setting for RDP?
Does disconnection happens on active session or Idle session?
We can configure the setting by collection properties or by GPO setting.
On collection Properties check the Timeout Tab and set the setting according to your requirement. On GPO we can find this setting on below mention path and check according to it.

Exporting and Importing Virtual servers with Windows 2012 R2 Hyper V

Hi
We are looking for various options / best practice in exporting and importing VSs between Windows 2012 R2 servers. Live migration we tested between servers in same VLAN and it's fine, but some servers are in different VLAN and hardware firewall is there
in between. So we exported the VS and while importing it, there is no option to export each Virtual disk to separate partitions / LUNs. Is it fine to create a new VS in the new server and just copy the VDs from the other HV host server, or exporting and importing
is the only proper method?
Thanks in advance
LMS

Hi Laljeev,
Please allow me to state my understanding of the two methods :
1.when you want to copy vhd you may need to shutdown the VM , further more if there is some snapshots I think it will be a trouble .
2. "export" you still need to shutdown VM but it doesn't have the trouble with snapshots .
The other way I will use is , "move" all of the VM's data to external disk then import it into destination hyper-v server (it can decrease the off-line time of VMs).

I have a domain with 2 DCs (both virtual machines) in different Hyper-V Hosts. Dose this case make any influence on the time sync?

As title,
I have a domain with 2 DCs (both virtual machines) in 2 different Hyper-V Hosts, and one of the perform as a PDC Emulator.
Dose this case make any influence on the time sync?
i.e. Both of the VMs sync with Hyper-V host, instead the other host should sync with the PDC Emulator?
I run w32tm command and get the following result:
C:\Users\Administrator.DOMAIN8>w32tm /query /computer:dc8.domain8.local /source
VM IC Time Synchronization Provider
C:\Users\Administrator.DOMAIN8>w32tm /query /computer:hpvzh05.domain8.local /source
VM IC Time Synchronization Provider
HPVZH05.domain8.local works as PDC server.
How can I make DC8 sync with HPVZH05?

Awesome!
It looks like your PDC is successfully pulling time from an external source. DC8 is not longer pulling from Hyper-V so that is good.
When you set a client to pull from a source ( and in this case DC8 is pulling from NT5DS, which tells it to pull from the PDC), and it CAN'T pull from that source, it will default to Local CMOS Clock. This is likely an easy fix.
First, check connectivity:
- Method one- Download Portqry and run this command: portqry -n HPVZH05 -p both -e 123 and see if the results say listening, or
- Method two- Run this command from DC8: w32tm /stripchart /computer:HPVZH05
If you get any kind of error using method two, it's a connectivity issue. (Maybe you have a firewall that's blocking access?)
The other cause of this, and probably more likely in your case, is that your PDC isn't properly advertising as a reliable time source, so DC8 isn't 'allowed' to pull from it.
Try running this command on your PDC: w32tm /config /reliable:yes
Then go restart time on your PDC, THEN DC8 again. (net stop w32time & net start w32time)

Unable to generate Pdf report for crystal 9/10 in Windows 2012 (Standard) server with Times New Roman font. With same font, report getting generated in excel, text, csv format in Windows 2012.

For Times New Roman font in Windows server 2012 R2 (Standard), crystal 9/10 report in pdf format is not getting generated. When we change the font for specific report like Arial, Calibri , Cambria then pdf report getting created.
In Windows 2008 R2, same application worked fine to generate pdf report for TimesNewRoman font and there is no change done in the application which is being used in Windows 2012 R2 server.

Ok, thanks for the reply. You need to contact support or a forum for the Crystal software. Third party products don't usually include Adobe technology, they have their own software. When you contact them, you may want to expand "unable to generate" to give any specific symptoms including any error messages.

My Windows 2012 ISCSI Target service needs to be restarted every time the server starts.

Every time I restart my Windows 2012 server, the ISCSI Target Service is unavailable to the clients even though it appears to be running.
I have to restart the service, then the clients can connect to it.
I tried to change the startup Type to Delayed, but I get an error 87: parameter is incorrect.
I've tried to delete and recreate the VHD and ISCSI Target.
I've tried to uninstall the Role, and reinstall it.
Anybody have any additional ideas to try and troubleshoot this?
Thank you
James Roper

The service is not starting correctly, even though it does start. If I restart the service, everything works correctly. Here is the event in the ISCSI Target.

Windows 7 time sync returns Access Denied error

I have recently configured my AD PDC Windows 2008 Server to syncronize with time.windows.com. I am trying to get my AD Windows 7 Pro clients to sync with the server, however anytime I run w32tm /resync, net stop w32tm or net start w32tm I get an
Access Denied error on the client. I have tried it logged in as both the domain admin and the local admin. For some reason I can start and stop the W32 Time Service from the Services console, but it doesn't resync the time when it restarts. Why
am I being denied access when logged in as the domain administrator?

Hi,
Did you set any group policy to prevent client from changing the services?
I suggest you take the ownership of %WINDIR%\System32\W32TM.EXE, disable the security software and firewall on both side to check the result. Also re-configure the
group policy related to Windows Time Service and re-apply them.
In addition, I suggest contacting Server Forum to confirm with the issue.

Firefox freezes ('hangs') virtually EVERY time I open a second browser window. How can this be fixed?

I recently (about a month ago) downloaded the newest version of Firefox and ever since, the browser freezes virtually EVERY time I open a new Mozilla browser window. I did not ever have this problem in the past.

Are you using the Default Theme? ''If not, switch to the Default Theme.''
If it isn't a problem with a 3rd party Theme, try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most other Add-ons.''
# You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Access denied in Windows 2012 Server Manager after a period of time working without problems

Hello,
I had 2 servers with windows 2012 installed in a domain (dc is in a 3rd server) and both added to server manager of each other. Both servers had Failover cluster installed and configured roles. After startup in both servers i can see the other and manage
it without problems (in server manager and failover cluster manages) but after a period of 30-40 minutes in both servers I see "Online - Data Retrieval failures Ocurred" for the partner server and "Online - Access Denied" for local server.
When I access de Failure Cluster Manager I had errors accessing resources and roles and can´t failover the cluster.
I removed the failover cluster thinking that could be the original problem, remove servers from domain, change names and add again to the domain without install failover cluster.
Now, the servers have not the failover cluster feature and the problem persists. 30-40 minutes after boot the server manager show messages of inaccesible partner with same messages. I tried to execute powershell commands to add a new ip to the NIC and I
receive a Access Denied Message and show Access Denied message in other events in log.
I´m using Domain Administrator Account and tried different solutions but not solved. I saw that this message can occur in a variety of different scenarios, but i don´t know why works during a period of time before failing. It´s frustrating
Regards
EDITED: in detail of Online - Data retrieval failures i see that: Configuration refresh failed with the following error: The metadata failed to be retrieved from the server, due to the following error: The WS-Management service cannot process the request.
The WMI provider returned an 'access denied' error.

Hi PabloVDL,
It seems is this two server has register the incorrect DNS, please try to add this server manage NIC IP to your manager hosts file or if possible trmpory disable the useless NIC DNS register. This issue also some times caused by when you installed
the HP insignth management, if in your environment you have this tools please temporarily uninstall it.
