Windows Server 2008 R2 DNS service issue with BitLocker

I recently installed BitLocker on a Windows Server 2008 Platform. I did not encrypt the boot partition because the server hardware BIOS did not have the necessary requirements to encrypt the system drive.
The Server roles are ADSM, DC and File Server. For DC operation I am also running the DNS service.
When I installed the DNS role I was prompted to install the Log files on a different volume than the OS. I did this, but unfortunately, it was the same volume that was encrypted.
Since I could not encrypt the system disk, the encrypted volume must be unlocked via password in order to mount. Here in lise my problem.
When I do a full reboot of the server, I get to the point in the boot process where my mouse is visible and operational (this would be just before the Windows OS logo displays, I believe), then the server reboots. On the next boot up I am given the diagonstics
and recovery dialog because the OS failed to boot.
I believe the failure is the DNS service trying to launch, but because the log files are on the encrypted drive and it has not been unlocked, the system sees this as a security problem and reboots
Does this make sense? If it does, is there a way to boot 2008 R2 with the DNS service disabled, say with the original install disk in recovery mode?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this system cannot be booted in its current state.

Hi,
I believe you mean the Active Directory Logs not the DNS logs, because these are necessary to startup a domain controller, because the AD database depends on these logs.
So if you have AD logs on a different partition and that is encrypted with Bitlocker you could probably automatically unlock it.
So you did not encrypt OS partition because the server does not have a TPM fully compliant chip ?
manage-bde /?
manage-bde -autounlock -enable Driveletter:
But you have to be able to boot server normal mode I am not sure if the command can be used in DSRM mode.
Below are some links that might help:

    Hi Jess,
    Here are two things I suggest you check:
    The Monitoring interval is set to 900 minutes, would the profile size get reduced after 15 hours and run
    gpupdate/force?
    Since the Sessenv.dll version is higher than the ones described in KB 2575946, the issue is supposed to be fixed. I suggest you run System File Checker to scan all protected system files.
    In addition, you can also collect Gpsvc.log to determine if policies are applied successfully.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 BSOD 0x1a with CLFS.sys

    Hello,
    I've got a BSOD on a Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1 installed. Analyzed the dump and could
    see a Bug-check of 0x1a which means "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT".
    Further analysis on this dump shows me, that this probably is caused by the CLFS.sys, which
    is the Common Log File System Driver. This CLFS.sys is installed with date:
    Tue Jul 14 01:19:57 2009
    I have now searched trough MS Support pages and resources and also the Internet, but I found no
    information about an update for this or a newer version. It's nearby impossible to find newer versions
    for specific  files in i.e. Hot-fixes.
    Do you know this issue with the 0x1a BSOD and CLFS.sys and/or do you know a newer version ?
    Any help would be very appreciated!
    Thanks and regards plus have a nice day !
    Tino

    Hi Tino,
    Regarding to Bug Check 0x1A, please refer to following article.
    Bug Check 0x1A: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
    Did you install any third-party application in this problematic server? Would you please let me know whether
    the BSOD issue occurred regularly? Or just occurred suddenly? If the BSOD issue occurred regularly, please
    perform a clean boot and check if this BSOD issue still exists.
    In addition, please check if necessary updates need to be installed and drivers need to be updated. Please
    run sfc /scannow command to scan all protected system files and check if find errors.

  • Windows Server 2008 r2 File service and Storage File opened by "another user"

    When I was using Windows server 2003 it show files opened by "user's name" but after changing to windows server 2008 r2 it only shows File opened by "another user" this is a hug problem in our organization which has around 200 staff's
    sharing files, and dont know who has opened file,
    We administrator can see and close opened file from "Manage opened files" but we want users also to see who has opened current file they are using instead of showing opened by another user displaying the user's name of the file opened.
    Can anyone help me with this problem,
    Thank you in Advance,

    Hi,
    I tried on a Windows 2008 R2 system and here is the result. 
    Here "2" is a standard domain user so it could be displayed correctly. 
    I would like to know if the issue specifically occurs on Office files? If so it could be an Office issue instead of system related. You can try one of the following 2 files:
    Excel 2007 - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2598133

  • How to install Windows Server 2008 (dualboot) on a PC with Windows 8.1 already on it?

    Hi, I bought a new PC with preinstalled Windows 8. Now I need to install Windows Server 2008. Anyone can advise me how to
    do it? It has to be in dual boot, in Virtual Machine the display is way too small

    You should check out the Boot-to-VHD capability.
    Here is how we do it in a lab environment which we got from a Microsoft lab:
    -Verify your computer is running Windows 7 or later.
    -Verify you have full administrator rights to your currently installed operating system.
    -Verify hard disk encryption or other pre-boot security is turned off.
    -Confirm that hardware virtualization technology and memory protection are both enabled in your computer's BIOS setup.
    Now we just setup the a VHD with an operating system on it (can even use a downloaded server 180 day trial VHD if you are in a rush). Then go to Disk Management and select Attach VHD and point to the file. Note the drive letter that is assigned to the
    mounted VHD.
    Run a command prompt as administrator and type: " bcdedit /export BCDBackup.bak " to create an exported backup of your boot loader configuration. Now type bcdboot [drive]:\windows.
    Now to test your dual-boot configuration, restart your computer and select the new OS boot option.
    An optional last step would be when complete to restore your boot loader by running "bcdedit /import BCDBackup.bak" and delete any VHD files.
    A more detailed guide written for Windows 7 but still applies for Windows 8 can be found at:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/video/windows-7-boot-from-vhd.aspx
    Hope that helps.

    Public DNS servers should not be used in IP settings of DCs. You need to configure them as forwarders instead. Also, I would recommend using your ISP DNS servers instead of Google ones.
    For the recommendation of IP settings to be used on DCs, please refer to what is written in this Wiki article: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/18513.active-directory-replication-issues-basic-troubleshooting-steps-single-ad-domain-in-a-single-ad-forest.aspx

  • SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard - Compatibility issues with Windows Server 2012 R2

    Hello,
    We used as a test a box on which we installed Windows Server 2012 R2 and SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition. No Service pack was installed. It worked perfect.
    Now we try to do it on another box and all of the sudden there is compatibility issue when we try to instal SQL Server. We can still install SQL Server by clicking "Continue without getting help".
    Where can this come from? If it is hardware related what are the thing I should look at?
    Thanks all

    Hello,
    Adding to Shanky suggestion, you can perform a slipstream installation of SQL Server 2008 R2 + SP3 to make SQL Server
    2008 R2 compatible with the newer operating system, as explained on the following post.

  • Windows Server 2008 64-bit Service Java Crash

    Using the same process that has worked well for creating Windows services for my admin and managed servers on 32-bit I created them on a 64-bit machine using beasvcx64 and JAVA_VM=-server. The server generates a fatal Java exception when starting:
    <Sep 19, 2011 12:16:43 PM EDT> <Warning> <oracle.as.jmx.framework.MessageLocalizationHelper> <J2EE JMX-46041> <The resource for bundle "oracle.jrf.i18n.MBeanMessageBundle" with key "oracle.jrf.JRFServ

    Does anybody have these servers running as Windows services on 2008? Were there any special steps you took?

    You nailed that Christian.
    In my services both the admin and managed server were being started with the memory argument: -Xms32m -Xmx200m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m
    I think this is the default.
    I changed it to the parameters used in the startup scripts and it worked the first time.

  • Windows Server 2008 driver for LaserJet 4100 with envelope printer

    I have a new Windows 2008 Server 32 and a handful of HP printers.  I need a driver for the LaserJet 4100 with an envelope feeder.  The universal driver doesn't appear to recognize (or give an option to find) the envelope feeder.  The old drivers I used on the previous server won't install on the 2008 box.
    I can;t be the only person with an envelope feeder on this machine. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?
    Thanks
    Jeff

    I'm afraid I'll have to refer you to the Business Support Forums for further help. They're more well-versed with Laserjet printers.

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 DNS Entry Auto remove not working

    Dear All,
    I have configured DNS Ageing for 30 days removal of unwanted host entry.but it will not work.
    Active directory DNS having all unwanted host in forward lookup zone and as well as reverse lookup zone.
    how to solve this ?
    pls help
    Sunil
    SUNIL PATEL SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR

    Hi,
    This is a rather common problem when configuring Scavenging and Aging of stale DNS entries.  This has to be set in two spots, not just one as so many admins have difficulties with.  It isn't very obvious. 
    Aging and Scavenging must be set on both the DNS Server and on the Zone
    that you want to clean.  In addition, DNS needs to be Active Directory integrated and resource records need to be dynamically registered.  Static entries are ignorned.
    First step: 
    To set aging and scavenging properties for the DNS Zones using the Windows interface           
    Open DNS Manager.
    In the console tree, right-click the applicable DNS server, and then click
    Set Aging/Scavenging for all zones.
    Select the Scavenge stale resource records check box.
    Modify other aging and scavenging properties as needed.
    Second Step:
    To set aging and scavenging properties for the DNS Server using the Windows interface           
    Open DNS Manager.
    In the console tree, right-click the applicable DNS server, and then click
    Properties.
    Select the Advanced tab,and then enable Enable automatic scavenging of stale records
    check box. Once done, specify the Scavenging period (That is recurring
    interval for Scavenging on a DNS server)  and click on OK
    That will do it.  Your DNS entries will then start auto scavenging based on the times you have determined. Word of caution - do not set your aging too aggressively - I have seen where an admin had set aging down to 1 day and when it finally kicked
    off, nearly brought the company to a halt. 

  • Windows server 2008 R2 Enterprise Service Pack 1 - TCP/IP Registry settings

    I am facing the issue  while making TCP/IP connections. This issue is occuring sometimes and not usual.
    No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:8056.
    This issue is due to server has full backlog.
    Questions - Where to check the server backlog for TCP/IP requests?
    How to tune the TCP/IP requests? Do we need to add any registry settings? Impact of those settings?
    Any help is really appreciated.

    These ones may help.

  • Issue Installing SP2 for Windows Server 2008 SP1

    Hello, I have a very annoying issue, and I hope someone can help a bro out.
    Server: Windows Server 2008 SP1 64-bit
    Issue: SP2 wont install on Windows Server 2008 SP1
    This is what I am seeing when I check the event viewer:
    1. (Information) Windows Servicing is setting package KB948465(Service Pack) state to Staging(Staging)
    2. (Error) Windows Servicing failed to complete the process of changing update 948465-382_neutral_GDR from package KB948465(Service Pack) into Staging(Staging) state
    I have no idea why this is coming up, nor why the server cant fix the issue, but now I am forced to deal with it. So if anyone has any helpful tips it would be greatly appreciated. 
    What I have done so far:
    I have downloaded the standalone SP2 file from microsoft, and tried to install, still failed. Just sent me to the prereq page, which is pretty useless considering the fact I already have SP1 installed, and nothing new has changed physically or digitally
    in the system.
    Also, although not a huge issue, I also have a security update that is failing, basically with the same issue as the SP. Below is its Error event log.
    (Error) Windows Servicing failed to complete the process of changing update 974318-11_neutral_LDR from package KB974318(Security Update) into Staging(Staging) state
    Im hoping that upon discovering the SP issue, I can resolve the security update issue, as the errors have the same issue(failed to complete staging state).Thank you for your time.
    ~I will provide any further info if needed.

    Thank you for pointing me in the right direction Milos. Yes I ALWAYS google my issues before going on forums for help. And to no avail. However, below is the relevant info(sorry I did not post this the first time;first time dealing with an issue like this,
    so I wasnt for shore what relevant data pertained to this issue):
    I also did not copy and paste the entire log in here(obviously) because its huge, however I will post link to full file if requested/needed, but hopefully I grabbed the entire log for my SP2 update failure issue. All I can grab from this log is that the
    CBS failed. However, I have no clue where to go after that..
