Windows Server 2008 R2: Server unable to authenticate with Domain Controller

Hello, I was wondering what could be the reason for this error if it is certain that there was no other computer on the network using the same name:
This computer could not authenticate with<Domain-controller>, a Windows domain controller for domain <Domain-name>, and therefore this computer might deny logon requests. This
inability to authenticate might be caused by another computer on the same network using the same name or the password for this computer account is not recognized.
What would cause the machine account pw to be 'not recognized'?

You can track changes in AD by enabling AD Auditing: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731764%28v=ws.10%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
As reading the logs is usually a complicated and time consuming task, it is recommended to use a third party tool for auditing. The one I usually recommend is Lepide Auditor - Active Directory: http://www.lepide.com/lepideauditor/active-directory.html

Server 2008 Hyper-V Failover Cluster Error on Domain Controller Reboot

I am pretty new to Hyper-V virtual but I have 2 Hyper-V Clusters, each with 2 Nodes and a SAN, 1 Physical Domain Controller for failover cluster management and 1 virtual domain controller as backup. All is running well, no issues. I installed
windows updates on the physical DC and upon reboot, got an error 5120 on cluster 2 that says "Cluster Shared Volume 'Volume1' ('Cluster Disk 1') is no longer available on this node because of 'STATUS_CONNECTION_DISCONNECTED(c000020c)'. All I/O will
temporarily be queued until a path to the volume is reestablished. It pointed to the 2nd node in that cluster as being the issue but when I look at it, it is online and all healthy so I don't understand why the error was triggered and if the DC would
go down for a failure, would that node not be able to access the CSV permanently.
Appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Hi mtnbikediver,
In theory, if you has the correct configuration of cluster the DC restart will not cause the CSV down, does your shared storage installed on your DC? Did you run
the cluster validation before you install the cluster? We strongly recommend you run the cluster validation before you build the cluster, same time please install the recommend update of 2008 cluster first.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957311
I found a similar scenario issue the DC restart will effect the cluster network name resource offline, but it is for 2008R2.
Cluster network name resource cannot be brought online when one of the domain controllers is partly down in Windows Server 2008 R2

HP 4250TN Drivers on Windows Server 2008 Print Server

Hi:
I'm having a heck of a time with HP 4250 printers installed on a Windows Server 2008 printer server. First I used the PCL6 driver downloaded from HP site. But then after client computers install printer they cannot print from Acrobat in landscape orientation. Also, whenever I select Printer Properties on the server Windows responds that the print drivers are not installed, asking if I want to install them. My client machines are a mix of XP, W7 32-bit and W7 64-bit. I switched to the PCL5 driver on the server, which fixed the Acrobat landscape issue, but now none of my XP clients can install the network printer, even when browsing to the PCL 5 driver for XP as downloaded from HP's site (I have not had success installing the x86 drivers on my 64-bit printer server).
I can install the 4250 on an XP machine w/direct TCP/IP port using PCL 5e driver but then I defeat purpose of print server.
Any suggestions on easiest driver/print server installation/cfg. is greatly appreciated!

Server 2008 Fax Server console doesn't show outgoing faxes

We are sending faxes from Windows XP clients through our Server 2008 Fax Server. Most of the faxes are sent, however the Server Fax Console never shows any faxes as being sent. The Fax Console does show the Incoming faxes that have been received. What can I do to get a log of the outbound faxes so we know they were sent successfully?
Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
Please perform the following steps to check it:
Open Fax Service Manager.
In the left pane, right-click Fax, and then click Properties.
3. On the Archives tab, please check the "Archive all faxes to this folder" item, and the sent faxes will be stored in this folder.
In addition, you could also use the following method enable activity logging for a fax server.
Open Fax Service Manager.
In the left pane, right-click Fax, and then click Properties.
On the Activity Logging tab, select the Log incoming fax activity check box to start logging incoming faxes and the
Log outgoing fax activity check box to start logging outgoing faxes.
You should receive an alert that the Fax service needs to be stopped and then restarted. If you do not, then right-click
Fax, click Stop, right-click Fax again, and then click
Start.
Thanks,
Miles
This is not a fix for this issue. I would hardly call this a workaround. We have admins that need to address fax sending issues when the faxes don't go through. Seeing the global outbox and sent items is a must for us. It needs to be
available from the fax console so the admin (secretary types, not IT admins) can review the issues.

Difference between SQL SERVER 2008 & SQL SERVER 2012 & SQL SERVER 2014

Difference between SQL SERVER 2008 & SQL SERVER 2012 & SQL SERVER 2014 ?

What sort of databases do you have OLTP? Data warehouse? What requirements do you have for High Availability?
The main features for SQL 2012/2014, as I see it:
o Support for window functions, which makes it possible to write fast queries for running totals, sliding windows etc.
o Columnstore indexes, which can speed up your data warehouse enormously. But of no interest for OLTP. Only writable in SQL 2014.
o AlwaysOn and Availability Groups, a vastly improve story for high availability and disaster recovery.
o try_convert/try_cast, you can now easily filter out values from a column which does not convert to a number. A small but essential feature.
o In memory-OLTP, a new in-memory engine in SQL 2014. This far with very limited feature set, and quite specialised.
Of the points above, the second and third require Enterprise Edition, the first and fourth are in all editions. For the last, I don't think Microsoft has announced anything yet.
There are also new stuff in the BI area, but that's out of my league.
And, oh, there is a new licensing model - which I think is holding more than one customer back.

Crystal Reports Server 2008 trial install - unable to log into CMC

Hi,
I have been looking for a way to host my existing Crystal XI reports on our in house web application rather than using a thick client application with cview. I was told that the options were Crystal Reports Server 2008 or Visual Studio 2008. I have downloaded trials of both and am currently testing.
After installing Crystal Reports Server 2008, including MySQL DB and Tomcat web server, i am unable to log into any of the applications with the error that:
Error: Server SCOTTPC:6400 not found or server may be down (FWM 01003) null
After seeing this i checked the services on my test machine and found that the Server Intelligence Agent was not started. So i tried starting it and recieved the generic windows message:
Service on local computer started and them stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do ... etc
After multiple reboots and reinstalls i am still unable to use any aspect of the application as i am unable to log into the CMC as the server is down. Now i am new to Crystal reports and web servers so have a very limited knowledge of whats going on here - i am primarily a DBA. From what i can tell MySQL does not even appear to be installed but i cannot be sure.
Any suggestions?

ok... after research it seems a DSN has not been created.
Also when trying to start the server intelligence service i see the following in the application event viewer:
[Node Name: SCOTTPC]
[User Name: SYSTEM]
Server Intelligence Agent has failed to initialize because the bootstrap file C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\_boe_SCOTTPC.bootstrap is missing information about the CMS cluster. Please restore your bootstrap file from your backup.
i have recreated the bootstrap file but still get the same error.
i have SQL Server 2005 installed on this rig as well - could this be causing the issue? Would it be better for me to integrate this to SQL Server rather than using the MySQL DB that comes with Crystal server 2008?

ACS any Version with Domain Controller on Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit

Hi All
Is there currently any ACS version working with Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controllers?
Our server stuff has recently upgraded the Domain Controllers to 2008r2 and turned off the 2003 servers. This didn't make our ACS 4.1.4 really happy.
I've read now serveral posts regarding issues with ACS and Server 2008r2 and hope to find a solution (besides switching to LDAP, yukk).
Thanks

Trying to zip / compress a file in Windows Server 2008 & SQL Server 2008 R2 server

Hi,
We are trying to zip / compress a xml file that has been created by retrieving data from SQL Server 2008 R2 database running on Windows Server 2008.
To compress this file, we cannot use any external softwares like 7-zip or WinZip.
So, we would like to know if there is any windows default compression tool that works on command line to compress the file?
As this is a live server we cannot apply any other softwares.
Please suggest any ways to do it in Windows Server 2008 machine.
Thanks & Regards
Kalyan

Hello Kaylan,
and for uncompress what can I use
This is a way to do it in SSIS

Bit Locker Implementation in Windows 8.1 machine using Windows server 2008 r2 server group policy.

is it possible to enable the bit locker only for windows 8.1 machines through windows 2008 r2 server group policy ?
Thanx and Regards,
Shanif

Hi Shanif,
Yes, we can do this.
Regarding how to enable Bitlocker via group policy, the following article can be referred to as reference.
Cannot Save Recovery Information for Bitlocker in Windows 7
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2010/02/16/cannot-save-recovery-information-for-bitlocker-in-windows-7.aspx
After configuring the settings, we can use security filtering or WMI filtering to apply the policy to specific computers.
Regarding this point, the following blog can be referred to for more information.
Security Filtering, WMI Filtering, and Item-level Targeting in Group Policy Preferences

Windows 2011 (2008 R2) Server boots to repair options

Hi, I have looked at other threads but can't seem to solve my issue.
So I have Server 2011 installed and really took care of my system. I was installing updates, on any power loss I ran chkdsk every time, installed proper drivers and it was really running well, though it's a consumer based pc (Some ASUS Desktop PC).
Last thing I did was install the Cannon MP160 driver so I could use scanning feature of the printer. Default windows driver has no TWAIN driver built in. The cannon website does not offer 2008 R2 driver, but instead only Windows 7 driver.
I am pretty certain that I rebooted after install which I generally always do.
However, there was a power loss.
So I turn on the pc, ASUS logo goes away, there is a dark screen and pc reboots itself. Then from ASUS logo (POST that is) it goes to 1.repair my pc, 2. boot normal. I tried F8 with safe mode, same thing, computer just reboots. I tried
bootlogging and can't seem to find bootlog.txt with command prompt.
So I tried this from command prompt;
chkdsk d: (windows installation) /r - no problem
rebuild bcd - can't find windows installation
there is another command where it makes sure the drive is bootable volume, so it does something to volume registry entry, The process goes through three edits and 2nd edit says the access is denied. I think command ends in NT60 /All
Then I tried Microsoft bootable ISO to uninstall 2 patches that could cause system to not boot - no success.
So last thing I tried was to use Windows 7 boot cd, which will give an option to repair possible boot problems. Can't resolve them - that's what the message says.
Now, I am thinking well I really don't need Server running, I could just reinstall windows 7 and use that, since I really just use it as storage, but it would be nice to get the system back up and running the way it was.
Well, I am open to any suggestions, maybe an in-place installation should be done, if possible?
Thanks,

Might ask them over here.

ECC 6/MS Windows Server 2008/SQL Server 2008 Upgrade

I am working with a client who wishes to do an ECC upgrade from ECC 5 to ECC 6. They also wish to upgrade the Op System from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008; and the database from MS SQL 2005 to MS SQL 2008.
My proposal is to Upgrade ECC, then the Op System then the DB in each environment before moving forward. We would do the first upgrade in Sandbox to determine timing, issues, etc. We would create a production support path to be used during the project, then start the upgrades Dev-QA-Prod.
The client has said that this is a risky approach and that SAP recommends a 2 step process, that is, upgrade ECC 6 thru all environments and then go back and do the Op Sys and Db upgrades afterward.
In my mind my approach is less risky as we will ensure each environment is clean and functioning smoothly before moving forward; there is less intrusion to the end user; testing is only accomplished once in each environment. The actual production build would be split over 2 weekends, app upgrade first then op sys and db.
The assistance I need to understand isu2026.does SAP have a recommendation in this case? I have not seen anything that says not to do the single step process I am recommending.
Thanks for any support you can provide.

Hi,
If SAP is recomending that is because They recomends not to "mix" upgrades with any other process like Heterogeneous system copies, DB upgrades, etc. In fact this is in the upgrade guides. But I think like some others here has already writen, that you could upgrade and change OS and SQL server in two different steps but in the same process so the downtime will be longer but it will be only one.
Of course this will depend on how long your upgrade downtime will take because usually the upgrade could take 7 hours more or less, post upgrade tasks, export task (R3load), change OS and SQL server if not using different HW, import task and post copy tasks.
What is the maximun downtime your client is ready to tolerate? If you have a whole weekend beginning from friday afternoon and ending Monday morning probably you will have enough time to do all in one weekend but again, it will depend on your tests. Why don´t you talk to your client and tell them if they have new HW already for this project to do a Prod copy in one of those servers as part of the whole project and take the times you will need. Then with that in perspective you could decide what approach is better.
With some upgrades done under my belt to different clients I don´t assure anything until I do a test upgrade including all changes (os or DB) necesary to finish time schedules, then with that in mind then we can redefine the way we will use and we make that clear before the beginning of the project. I always tell them that it is better to do a test like this if they don´t have much available downtime, the project will take longer but for sure the Production downtime will be shorter.
