Windows domain controller in a virtual machine: how dangerous is saving its state for a short period of time?
I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 virtualization cluster. All the hosts are connected to an external storage system, and virtual machines' files are stored on external volumes (CSVs). All the hosts and virtual machines are a part of the same AD domain
(mixed Windows Server 2012 RTM / 2008 R2 domain controllers). All the domain controllers are running in the virtual machines on the hosts of this cluster.
To prevent problems when all the hosts are turned off and then on simultaneously (for example, because of a power failure) all the domain controller VM files has been placed on local disks of the virtualization hosts (not on the Cluster Shared
Volumes). As Hyper-V services don't depend on other Windows Server services (except its networking components), it means that my domain controllers can always start, providing the virtualization host can start at all. However, it also means
that those DCs cannot be (quickly) migrated to other hosts while their current hosts are being rebooted. So if I need to reboot a virtualization host to install new updates, for example, I have to shut down the corresponding DC, reboot the host
and wait for the DC to finish cold boot and come back online. It means some interruption of service for our users, which, in turn, requires me to perform the reboots late in night.
The downtime can be significantly decreased by saving the state of the VM in which the DC is running. However, all the articles I've found on the Internet strongly recommend against it. I'm trying to understand why this recommendation was issued in the first
place. However, I'm unable to find a clear explanation. I've found some statements that saving state of a DC can cause serious AD replication problems because of tombstoning, and that the password of a DC computer account may be changed
while the DC itself stays in the saved state, which could prevent the DC from connecting to the domain after its state has been restored. However, those considerations are non-significant when we discuss a short-time
(5 to 10 minutes) saved state.
I work with AD and virtualization long time, and I fail to see any danger in saving state of a DC for several minutes. In my opinion, after its state has been restored it would simply replicate all the AD changes from other DCs, and that's all.
What's your opinion?

Hello,
as stated in "http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/virtual_active_directory_domain_controller_virtualization_hyperv(v=ws.10).aspx"
Operational Considerations for Virtualized Domain Controllers
Domain controllers that are running on virtual machines have operational restrictions that do not apply to domain controllers that are running on physical machines. When you use a virtualized domain controller, there are some virtualization software features
and practices that you should not use:
Do not pause, stop, or store the
saved state of a domain controller
in a virtual machine for time periods longer than the tombstone lifetime of the forest and then resume from the paused or saved state.
This may sound as it is supported to store it for shorter times and use it.
BUT recommendation also from the Hyper-V Program manager in
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2008/11/24/the-domain-controller-dilemma.aspx recommends against using them.
Also best practices

How can I record multiple signals for a long period of time?
Hi, everyone
I am new at labView I just recentlyl started using it. Right now I am working on this assignment
that I have to display en record six different signals comming up from a DAQ. so basically What I did
for my IV is placing a whileloop. Inside the while loop I set up the DAQ assistant and then I send that
to a split signal function in order to split the signas that are comming from the DAQ ( so those signals
are EMG1,EMG2, blood flow1, blood flow2, blood pressure, and AM stimulation) after I split the signals
I send each individual signals to a waveforme graph, but my problem is that I need to record those individual
signals for a long period of time every second for about 8 hours. so it will be really helpfull if someone can
guide me through this. Thanks
RegardsHi,
With your while loop, you'd better use low-level VIs to write your data to a file. Please see attached...I've used text file function but if you need ta save a large amount of data, you may need to use binary file functions instead (nearly the same way to perform this whatever you chose text file or binary file function).
Best,
J.

Whenever I make purchases on my iPad in the App Store, it asks me for my Apple ID password. I'm fine with this when its a one off purchase, but when I have to make multiple purchases continuously it can be really annoying.
How wow can I get the App Store to remember my password for a short period of time (2-3 minutes) so I don't have to type it in with every purchase? I know it can be done as the other iPad in the house is set up this way, I just can seem to find how or where to change these settings...There is Settings > General > Restrictions > Require Password which you can set to '15 minutes' - the only other option for the setting is 'Immediately', you won't be able to have it as 2 or 3 minutes.

Move Windows Domain Controller 2012 to other Windows Domain Controller 2012 eniveroment
Dear All,
I Have Windows Domain Controller 2012 and but this server have a lot of issue so I need to ask you if I can move this server to other new server as is old server if yes can you please guide me how to do that ?
Regards,Hello Khaleel,
Your question doesnt specify what kind of errors are there on DC 2012. Try to resolve those errors.
Incase the server cannot be remediated, you can demote the server from being a DC.
you can demote the server using:
http://terrytlslau.tls1.cc/2012/03/domain-controller-demotion-on-windows.html
Please ensure, there is another DC in the domain and the FSMO roles , GC have been transferred to another server.

Can i install windows 8.1 as a virtual machine without an existing windows os
can i install windows 8.1 as a virtual machine without an existing windows os? I only have the download of 8.1, no cd.
You have to download and run the setup.exe on a Windows system.
That will then download Windows and you can choose at the end to create install media, then choose to save as an iso.
It has to be done on a Windows machine and if you want to download 64 bit Windows it must be run on a 64 bit Windows machine. -

Is is possible to install X64 windows server 2008 R2 on Virtual machine 2007 Service pack1?
I am trying to install window server 2008R2 X64 on virtual machine 2007 service pack 1. But unable to proceed. while refering various forum,
It is listed that from service pack1 we can install windows 7 & window server 2008 std edition. But nowhere it listed that window server 2008R2 is supported or not.
Can one let me know if it fisible to install window server 2008R2 X64 on virtual pc 2007 or any work around.
Thanks,
AKI'd ask them over here.

so we currently have three domain controllers set up, two of them on 2012r2 and one of them on 2008r2. prior to any of these domain controllers being added to the domain there was only one, running on 2003r2. the 2003r2 server was up and running when the
first 2012r2 was added and that's when running 'dcdiag /e /c /v' would yield an issue with "_ldap._tcp.9a5f3c17-e7ac-48f7-ab42-bf1ea621a6f5.domains._msdcs.cmedia.local" in the DNS portion of the diagnostics, specifically:
TEST: Records registration (RReg)
Network Adapter [00000010] Microsoft Hyper-V Network Adapter:
Error:
Missing SRV record at DNS server 192.168.22.4:
_ldap._tcp.9a5f3c17-e7ac-48f7-ab42-bf1ea621a6f5.domains._msdcs.cmedia.local
after adding the second 2012r2 to the domain, this issue is still there... adding the 2008r2 server to the domain and running BPA it gives the following:
Title:
This domain controller must register a DNS SRV resource record, which is required for replication to function correctly
Severity:
Error
Date:
7/3/2014 11:24:48 AM
Category:
Configuration
Issue:
The "DcByGuid" DNS service (SRV) resource record that advertises this server as an available domain controller in the domain and ensures correct replication is not registered. All domain controllers (but not RODCs) in the domain must register this record.
Impact:
Other member computers and domain controllers in the domain or forest will not be able to locate this domain controller. This domain controller will not be able to provide a full suite of services.
Resolution:
Ensure that "DcByGuid" is not configured in the "DnsAvoidRegisteredRecords" list, either through Group Policy or through the registry. Restart the Netlogon service. Verify that the DNS service (SRV) resource record "_ldap._tcp.9a5f3c17-e7ac-48f7-ab42-bf1ea621a6f5.domains._msdcs.cmedia.local", pointing to the local domain controller "CM-DC4-NY01.cmedia.local", is registered in DNS.
More information about this best practice and detailed resolution procedures: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=126968
I've tried scanning and then re-scanning every single entry in DNS Manager and do not see any reference to this specific GUID mentioned, nor do I see any other domain controllers referenced that should not be in there. The two 2012r2 and the 2008r2 domain
controllers are the only ones listed in DNS Manager... the 2003r2 mentioned earlier failed and was removed.Just to chime in, I noticed that you said you have one 2008 R2 DC, and two 2012 DCs.
I also noticed in the ipconfig /all that all DCs are pointint to themselves for DNS. We usually like to see them point to a partner, then itslelf as the second entry, w hether loopback or by its own IP.
Based on that, what I suggest to level the playing field by choosing the WIndows 2008 R2 DC as the first DNS on all DCs and only administer DNS using that DC. The reason I chose that is because of the least common denominator is what we rather use so we
don't invoke any new features in the newer 2012 DNS console that 2008 R2 may not understand. After that's done, on each DC run (and you can use a PowerShell window to run this):
Rename the system32\config\netlogon.dns and netlogon.dnb files by suffixing ".old" to the file.
ipconfig /registerdns
net stop netlogon
net start netlogon
Then re-run the dcdiag /e /c /v.
Post your results, please.

I thought the DNS entries were supposed to be the other way around? point to themselves first and a partner as secondary? regardless, as requested, I've changed it to what you've prescribed where they point to the 2008r2 server as the primary with themselves
as the secondary. I've also followed the steps to what seems like refreshing the DNS? on each of the DCs. Here's the output from dcdiag /e /c /v

DPM 2012 R2
Server 2012 R2 and Server 2012 (R1). Both CSV volumes and Hyper-V hosts with non clustered volumes.
ISCSI Attached Storage. (Nimble SAN)
Every time a VM backup is made this error message occurs:
"'SERVERNAME' failed to perform the operation. The virtual machine is not in a valid state to perform the operation. (Virtual machine ID "GUID")"
The backup seems to finish fine most of the time, but it also seems to be causing some VM's to be in a hung/frozen state when this happens.Hi Nordland,
So it seems that there are some non-backup operation that is trying to occur on the Virtual machine while the backup is in progress. Does this VM have replication enabled on it. Is there a Hyper-V replica server to which this machine get's replicated?

You can see the current value via the reads-only pref places.history.expiration.transient_max_pages on the about:config page.
See:
* http://blog.bonardo.net/2010/01/20/places-got-async-expiration
If you lose the history then make sure that you do not use Clear Recent History to clear the browsing history.<br />
Also make sure that you do not have cleanup software that might clean up files in the Firefox Profile Folder.

How to stop Firefox from checking for add-on compatibility every time it opens?
How to stop Firefox from checking for add-on compatibility every time it opens?
That can be a problem with the compatibility.ini file in the Firefox profile folder.
Try to rename (or delete) the compatibility.ini file in the Firefox profile folder to see if that helps.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
You can also check for problems with preferences.
Delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

How to consolidate the financial statements for 3 company codes, assigned t
Hi Friends,
How to consolidate the financial statements for 3 company codes, assigned to 3 different companies, 3 different fiscal years, 3 different controlling areas and all the 3 Company Codes assigned to same chart of accounts in the same client?
Can we need any ABAP program for this (or) Is it possible using Report Painter?
Please help me.
ThanksHi friend,
Is it a real-time situation or something you are visualising ?
For consolidation, you can use a group chart of accounts and select that in the operative chart of accounts for consolidation purposes. This would work provided the company codes use the same operative chart of accounts and fiscal year.
I hope the above would be helpful to you.

How to trace every dml statement for a schema/ database
hi,
how to trace every dml statement for a schema/ database
PFile Entrie
init.ora Parameter Example event='1401 trace name errorstack, level 12';
tkprof orcl_ora_3632.trc b.txt
after these two steps I am not able to see the sql statements in trace ...
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,Hi,
Trace Event 1401 will create a trace file and dumps the information when ORA-01401 error occurs. This error occurs when "inserted value too large for column"
You will see the trace file getting populated only when you encounter ORA-01401 error.

How would I create buttons states for MCs I am creating abstract MCs
I am creating a generic website that would have abstract MCs that would load jpg or TXT fields for the user interface to allow for fast updates to the site. The MCs that would make up the user interface would be empty and load things into it using XML or PHP later on. How would I create button states for the user interface MCs. I started creating a function for every MC button state but I thought there might be a more efficient way.
would creating a array help in this case?
and is using URLRequest the way to link to pages with in a movie well the flash movie that is the site it's self?

whatthe#$@!doyouwant!?_mc.buttonMode = true;click insert/new symbol, tick movieclip, assign a name, tick export for actionscript and in the class textfield enter a name (say ButtonClass) and click ok.
attached to the first frame of your new movieclip, type stop() in the actions panel. put whatever graphic you want on-stage for your button's up stage. create another keyframe, label it "over" and put whatever graphic you want for button's over state on-stage.
in a layer above those graphics, you'll probably want to add a dynamic textfield so each of your buttons can have different text. assign the textfield and instance name (say tf) and extend its timeline to the last frame of your movieclip button.
then when you want to create a button, on your timeline you can use:
var b:ButtonClass=new ButtonClass(); // these two lines need to be entered for each button
buttonhandlerF(b,someX,someY);
//-------code between dotted lines only needs to be entered once no matter how many buttons you add --------------------
function buttonhandlerF(b:ButtonClass,x:Number,y:Number){
b.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,overF);
b.addEventListener(MouseEVent.MOUSE_OUT,outF);
b.x=x
b.y=y
addChild(b);
function overF(e:MouseEvent){
e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop("over");
function outF(e:MouseEvent){
e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop(1);
//-------code between dotted lines only needs to be entered once --------------------
// you'll also want to create a click listener and listener function
the code between the dotted lines is amenable to being added to a ButtonClass.as class file if want to expand your capabilities.
