Windows Server 2008 R2 - access from Anywhere

Dear All,
We have small business network in our institutions. Our network infrastructure is follows as,
Windows Server 2008 R2 with Domain Controller - Roles installed are ADDS, File Service, WDM, DNS, DHCP
Fully Qualified Domain Name : XXXXXX.local
Client System: Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit systems 30 Numbers.
Internet Connection: 1 Mbps download speed and 420 Kbps Upload speed from Airtel.
Router: TP-Link ADSL Router.
So far we have used our server within our premises, the router acted as a gateway and supplied internet service for server and client system. Now we want to access the server from outside of our network from i.e. domain users logon from anywhere from the
world. What are the requirements for this kind of setup and steps to implement this setup.
Thanks and Regards S.R. Karthick System Engineer

Hi,
Firstly, it is not recommended to install the DHCP role on a DC.
In addition, you can use the DirectAccess feature in Windows server 2008 R2 so that the clients
running Windows 7 Ultimate
can securely connect to the corporate network from any location without any type of traditional VPN. For more detailed information, please refer to the link below:
DirectAccess for Windows
Server 2008 R2
Best regards,

  • Windows server 2008 R2 Access files from anywhere

    I want to make windows server 2008 R2 access from anywhere. I will install window server. It will basically be a file server and I want to access it from anywhere. Can you provide some steps that should be done . there is need to have a public IP or without
    public IP it can be done?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    You will need to have a public IP Natted to your internal IP. be aware you dont want to expose this server too much to the internet, make sure you only have your ISP open certain ports on the firewall or if you are hosting your own TMG server for example
    publish it through there.
    Hope this helps. Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

    This being an OEM copy you cannot move this to another server. You can only do that with Volume Licensing of server.

  • Windows 7 64-bit Pro not connecting to SQL Server on domain Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard

    I am upgrading computers from Windows XP Professional to Windows 7 Professional but I have a problem getting one of the stock control software programs we use to connect to our SQL Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard from the new Windows 7 computers.
    Our computers are connected to a domain and so is the SQL Server. The Windows XP computers allows each standard domain user to log on and connect to the SQL Server via the stock control software program.
    But on the Windows 7 Pro computers standard domain users can't connect to the SQL Server but the domain administrator accounts on the same Windows 7 Pro computers can connect to the SQL Server via the stock control program.
    I have setup the server alias, server name and port number via the SQL Server Client Network Utility (cliconfg.exe) so I know this isn't the problem as it works when I am logged on as domain administrator.
    It seems to be something to do with domain user permissions and Windows 7 Pro. There seems to be a change from Windows XP Pro to Windows 7 Pro that doesn't allow standard domain users to connect to an SQL Server. But I can't find anything about this and
    can't workout how to fix it except to make all the users domain administrators which is obviously not a good thing to do. So basically I I think I need to create a group policy that allows the users to connect to the SQL Server but I have no experience doing
    this and don't know where to begin.
    Thanks for all you guys help and I hope someone can provide me with the solution to this problem.

    Hi,
    Was there any message?
    Please run the stock control software as Administrator to check if it was caused by UAC.
    If it could run as administrator, please add the standard domain user to local administrator.

  • How to restrict users working on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2

    Dear All,
    We are having an infrastructure setup of around 500 client computers managed through group policy.
    Recently the domain controllers have been migrated from Windows Server 2003 to Server 2008 R2.
    Since this account requires extremely strict environment, we need to figure the solution for restricting the users from access anything locally.
    It would be great if you can assist me with the following query.
    How to restrict users logged on Windows 7 clients from accessing Windows Explorer and browsing other systems in the network through Group Policy with a domain controller running on Windows Server 2008 r2 ?
    Can we disable Network Tab on the left hand pane ?
    explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the Windows Explorer by clicking on the name which is visible on the Start Menu.

    >   * explorer.exe is blocked already, but users are able to enter the
    >     Windows Explorer by clicking on the name which is visible on the
    >     Start Menu.
    You cannot block explorer.exe when you do not replace the shell - the
    desktop you see effectively IS explorer.exe...
    Your requirement sounds like you need a custom shell:

    Hi,
    I have done this but it does not work.
    My network is configured as a NAT in virutalbox.
    Also from WIndows server 2008 guest I do:
    net use z:\\vboxsvr\mySharedFolder
    Do I have to install additional software in host or do I have to configure something in Windows server 2008 guest?

  • What Drivers should I use to access SQL Server 2005 SP2 from Windows Server 2008 64 bit

    and yes I do know that is an odd scenario so let me explain
    I have just joined a project that is "in flight" where the customer is upgrading a LOT of things at the same time
    (some Microsoft, some other supplier: some at the OS level, others at server or services levels)
    the current step is replacing some services leaving the back end databases as they are
    i.e. SQL Server 2005 SP2
    a later step will upgrade the backend data bases which may make more work
    What we have now runs on Windows Server 2003 32 bit using the OLEDB drivers
    version 2000.86.3959.00
    What we want must run on Windows Server 2008 64 bit still using the OLEDB option

  • Opening Excel Workbook Fails when run from Scheduled Task on Windows Server 2008 Rw

    Hi,
    I have a little vbs script that instantiates the Excel.Application object and then opens a work book to perform some tasks on it. The script runs fine when run from the command line. When I attempt to run it as a scheduled task (it is supposed to update
    data that is pulled from a SQL Server at regular intervals), it fails with the following error:
    Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file 'c:\test\SampleWorkbook.xlsm'. There are several possible reasons: .....
    The file does exist. The path reported in the error is correct. The account under which the task is running is the same account I use to run it from the command line. User Account Control is not enabled, and the task is set up to run with highest privileges.
    When I run the same script through the Task Scheduler from a Windows Server 2003 machine, it works without issue.
    I was just wondering if somebody on this forum has run into a similar issue in connection with Windows Server 2008 R2 and figured out what the magic trick is to make it work. I'm sure it is rights related, but I haven't quite figured out what which rights
    are missing.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

    This is truly killing me ... trying to get it working on Windows Server 2012 without success.
    I desperately need to automate running Excel macros in a "headless" environment, that is non-interactive, non-GUI, etc.
    I can get it to work using Excel.Application COM, either via VBScript or Powershell, successfully on many other Windows systems  in our environment - Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 (32-bit), etc.,  -BUT-
    The two servers we built out for running our automation process are Windows Server 2012 (SE) - and it just refuses to run on the 2012 servers - it gives the messages below from VBScript and PowerShell, respectively- 
    I have tried uninstalling and re-installing several different versions of Microsoft Excel (2007 Standard, 2010 Standard, 2010 Professional Plus, 32-bit vs. 64-bit, etc.), but it makes no difference.
    Would be extremely grateful if any one out there has had any success in running Excel automation on Server 2012 in a non-interactive environment that they could share.
    ( I have tried adding the "%windir%\syswow64\config\systemprofile\desktop"
    folder, which did fix the issue for me when testing on Windows Server 2008 R2, but sadly did not resolve it on Windows Server 2012 )

    Hello
    Thanks for all the replies.
    I have since wiped the system and installed everything again and it all worked this time so not sure what was wrong last time. I did try to uninstall all Exchange components and then uninstall IIS and Application server, reboot and re-install but I received the same error still when it came to installing the client access role.
    Walter: I just attempted the standard installation which should have used the default self-signed certificate. Everything was a fresh install done at the same time on a freshly formatted PC.
    For info last time when it failed to work:
    - Installed Windows Server 2008 R2
    - Installed Domain Controller role using dcpromo. I set the forest and domain as Windows Server 2008 R2
    - Added a forest trust between main domain and test Exchange domain (set up as ex2010.local)
    - Installed IIS and Application Server role
    - Installed Hyper-v role
    - Installed Desktop Experience feature
    - Installed Exchange and recieved the error
    When it worked I set up the forest and domain in Windows Server 2008 mode (i.e. not R2), installed Exchange first and then set up the forest trust and then Hyper-v. It did say it failed to configure dns which was probably because it started trying to do automatic updates half way through the dcpromo! DNS seems to work ok though.
    I did notice this time that Hyper-v gave a warning about the virtual network adapter not being set up correctly and the local network did not work correctly although I could access the internet. Not sure if this could have been related to the cause of the problem previously. For now I have disabled the virtual network until I get time to try and get it working and so the mail will work in the meantime.
    I also noticed that Hyper-v added an extra 443 ssl binding to the default website so as it had 2 bindings on port 443 it refused to start. After deleting one it worked.
    I decided to install Exchange onto a domain controller as it is only a test and I wouldn't do it in a live environment. I am also short of test machines! It didn't give me any warnings about this actually, I think previous versions warn you that it is not recommended.
    Andreas and Chinthaka: I did not know about the requirement to run the domain at 2003 mode. The main domain is running in 2008 mode with Exchange 2007 so I assume this is just a temporary beta related requirement. It does seem to be working (second attempt) so far in a 2008 mode domain although I haven't had a chance to fully test it yet.
    Thanks

  • Windows server 2008 R2 x64 Authentication failure while try to access Windows server 2003 R2

    Hello,
    I try to access Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard from Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 standard using integrated windows authentication . And because my application tries to read SQL server i'm getting and error that user is not trusted. Then I tried to open a
    simple shared folder on  2003 and none of the users is able to do it. Both servers are part of common workgroup in the same IP range. Using domain is not an option. Migrating 2003 to 2008 is not an option either. The specific DB provider I have to use
    supports only windows authentication, so creating user into SQL server is not an option too. I have tested many applications and cases which requires/uses windows authentication and non of the manage to connect.
    Any help is very welcome because things are urgent!

    That method in workgroup mode may be a problem.

  • A trouble free way of giving Administrators access to redirected folders on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard?

    A few months ago I set up some redirected folders on a clients Windows Small Busines Server 2008. I recall that setting up the redirected folders was straightforward, but when I edited the permissions to allow administrative access to these server located
    folders, all hell broke lose. The permissions change seemed to trash the folders. I think I managed to 'bodge' it for a couple of users and got it working, but it was such a headache I didn't bother doing it for the other users.
    Now, I sit in front of a brand-spanking-new Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard box which is going to be installed with a new client within 48 hours. I would like to set up redirected folders and would like to grant admin rights on these folders so I can view
    their contents directly from the server.
    It seems to me that there is no offical Microsoft documentation which relates specifically to doing this on Windows Server 2008. Given the amount of problems this has caused for many admins, I am astounded.
    Somewhere there are articles which describe how to do it on 2003, but this procedure does not work well in 2008.
    There is an SBS article that admits permissions can be trashed, but this is no help on Standard edition:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2010/10/08/folder-redirection-in-small-business-server-2008.aspx
    I have just posted a note on this rather long article:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-GB/smallbusinessserver/thread/70fa7f0e-7f2c-4f00-8401-42d262d80cd6
    So, my question, hopefully to Microsoft employee, please can you document
    exactly how to grant admin rights to users redirected folders on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, and please could you do it today :-)
    In the absence of this help, then I'm afraid this is yet another great but badly implemented feature that we will not be using.

  • Microsoft Excel cannot access the file "-". There are several possible reasons. Windows Server 2008 R2 with Microsoft Office 2010

    I have a problem with starting the Excel Application under a particular user (service account).
    I try to schedule this C# script through an application X (not Windows Task Scheduler. And this
    application will always use a service account to run services on the server). If I run the C# script in
    command prompt under the same user, it runs. Under the application X, which uses the exact same
    user, to initiate the C# script, it fails to open the Excel application (not sufficient permission?).
    This script calls application.Workbooks.Open(<ExcelFileName>,0,false,Type.missing....). At this line
    of code, it gives the following error:
    Microsoft Excel cannot access the file "...". There are several possible reasons:
    -The file name or path does not exist.
    -The file is being used by another program.
    -The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a currently open workbook.
    I tried all the methods that I found online as follow:
    Create directory "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop" (for 64 bit Windows) or "C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\Desktop" (for 32 bit Windows).
    Changed the DCOM config for the Microsoft Excel application to include this user for Local/Remote Launch and Access.
    Enabled all macros in Excel application and set the Trust Center.
    Add the user to have full control on all folders that contain the Excel file.
    Under DCOM
    config, Microsoft Excel Application, if I modify the Identity tab to check on "This User" and enter the username/password to let Excel always run under that user. Then the application runs perfectly. However, other users can't run the excel application
    on their own with the following error: "Cannot use object linking and embedding". If I check "Use the launching user", then Excel can't be launched. No errors in the logs or events anywhere to check.
    Yet, still the same error. I think it's permission but I am not sure where and what to do for this to work.
    Now, normally, when I run this excel report, I can double-click on the file and it'd automatically run,
    save the new parameters into the current file and generate a new excel file (with date attached to the
    file name). That means there is a change (save) to the original file.
    Environment: Windows Server 2008 R2 and running Microsoft Excel 2010.
    I appreciate all your help!

    I am wondering if this has anything to do with having the user log into Excel.
    In point #5 above: Under DCOM config, Microsoft Excel Application, if I modify the Identity tab to check on "This User" and enter the username/password to let Excel always run under that user. Then the application runs perfectly. However, other
    users can't run the excel application on their own with the following error: "Cannot use object linking and embedding". If I check "Use the launching user", then Excel can't be launched. No errors in the logs or events anywhere to check.
    Because running with the launching user proposes an user to run the Excel application. However, I do not think there is any where that we can pass in the password for this user to Excel. However, this Excel has all the permissions to Excel application as
    well as the folders that have the Excel files.
    Please help!
    Thank you!

    That's the problem. DG4ODBC on 64bit Windows is 64bit and thus it also requires a 64bit ODBC driver.
    If you don't find one - maybe you can install DG4ODBC 32bi on a 32bit platform (please do NOT install it on the 64bit Windows machine) and then use this 32biit DG4ODBC with the 32bit ODBC driver.
    Another option would be to purchase a commercial ODBC driver or a bridged ODBC driver.

    Hi,
    How can I transfer files from "Windows Server 2008 R2" on Mac? as now I am using 2 App (Microsoft Remote Desktop & Fast Remote Desktop) which allowed me everything but not transfer files on Mac, so any other recommendation or salutation?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You need to configure folder redirection.
    Folder redirection enables access local folders during the remote session. Click the + button at the bottom of the dialog and choose a folder you want to have
    redirected.
    Configure Folder Redirection:
    1. Click the + button.
    2. In the Add Local Folder window, enter the following information:
    l 
    Name: Set a name for the folder to be available during the remote session.
    l 
    Path: Select the path to the folder to be available during the remote session.
    3. Click the close button to save the remote desktop.

  • Access Denied DNS Server 'Windows Server 2008 R2 and Install AD (PDC) and ADD (BDC=Additional AD)

    hi 
    I Have 
    Windows server 2008 R2 and Install Active Directory 
    Install and configuration for windows server 2008  PDC (Primary Domain Controller) and BDC (Additionall Domain Controller)
    Error
     A security Package specific Error Occurrred. would you like to add it anyway
    and 
    Access Denied Console Other Domain AD 
    and Nslookup 
    C:\Users\admin>nslookup pdc
    Server:  bdc.*.*
    Address:  10.0.X.X
    Name:    pdc.*.*
    Addresses:  10.0.1.11
              10.0.X.X

    Hello,
    your description is a bit confusing. You get the error message when you try to add the other DC to the DNS management console on one machine?
    Both DCs belong to the same domain according to your description?
    Please post an unedited ipconfig /all from both DC/DNS servers here.
    BTW: PDC/BDC concept is gone since the start from AD with Windows 2000 Server. All DCs are the same, difference are only the FSMO roles, still that can be held from any DC in the domain according to some rules.
