Windows server 2008 R2 stuck at applying computer settings

Hello all:
i have seen other posts with this same problem, but none of them apply to my situation.
i have a set of virtual servers, mounted over Vsphere 5.5 running on XenApp, all basically with the same configuration, except for the hosted applications, however i only have problems with some of those servers.
i have tried:
placing the servers on an empty OU --no change
remove the native VMware network driver and install intel drivers --no change
created the registry key : HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\DependOnService
(value CRYPTSVC) --no change
run winsock on the affected servers --worked...after a week the same situationis present.
i tried changing the DNS server order -- worked
i then tried to bring the DNS servers to the established order, and the servers where able to boot propperly.
at this point im out of ideas!
sorry, i meant R2!

If I understand well, by tweaking the IP Settings DNS configuration, you were able to fix the problem.
I would recommend that you use the IP settings I recommended here: 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
As for the member servers / computers, make sure that they point only to internal DNS servers for DNS resolution. T troubleshoot DNS resolution, you can use
NSlookup with debug mode: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/29184.nslookup-for-beginners.aspx

2008R2 RD Termimnal Server stuck at apply computer settings over an hour

Hi Everyone
I am currently experience issue with my 2008R2 RD Terminal Servers. Every time I reboot the server it stuck in the "Apply computer settings" screen for few hours. These RD Terminal server is part of our NLB cluster. User connect to the
RD terminal Servers via FQDN for the NLB cluster VIP . Each servers has dual network adaptor. The second network adaptor is link to a NLB cluster. If one of the servers stuck in the "Apply computer settings
screen" Open NLB manger from one of the RD Terminal server, NLB manager will end up not responding.
I have found a way to allow me to login to the problematic RD terminal server by disabling the network on the network adaptor of the vm. This allow me to login. Then I quickly re enable the network on the adaptor. Users complained when
they log in to that server stuck at "Apply computer settings" screen
We do have GPO policy apply to these terminal servers I have moved one of the RD Terminal server to another OU with minimum policy that makes no different.
Appreciate any advice
Thanks

I have managed to resolve the issue by going into safe mode and disable windows management instrumentation service after reboot I am able to login . remove VMware tools. restart the server. apply computer setting disappear. almost like something is conflicting
with VMware tools

Server stucks at Applying Computer Settings after every reboot

Hello!
On one of our sites containing around 15 servers, whenever a terminal server is rebooted, it gets stuck on Applying Computer Settings for around 15 minutes. If it is un-joined from the domain then no issue. Moreover, once it is done with this delay, no time
delay is observed in user login. But after every reboot, 15 - 20 mins delay is always observed. Domain is the same at other sites and no issue is being observed else where.
OS: MS Windows Server 2008R2

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server forum.
In addition, for a test please try to modify the behavior of HTTP.SYS to depend on another service being started first. To do this, perform the following steps:
1. Open Registry Editor
2. Navigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP and create the following Multi-string value:
DependOnService
3. Double click the new DependOnService entry
4. Type CRYPTSVC in the Value Data field and click OK.
5. Reboot the server
NOTE: Please ensure that you make a backup of the registry / affected keys before making any changes to your system.

Parallels Desktop getting Stuck on "Applying Computer Settings"

I get it installed and updated, but everytime I complete the installation of PC-cillin Internet Security 2006 and reboot, Windows XP hangs on 'Applying Computer Settings.'
Anyone have a clue what to due to advance it beyond this point? I have uninstalled and and reinstalled it already one and applied all updated.

No, I dont think so as I had XP running fine and in
fact even had it hooked into my local home Windows
2003 server on my home domain.
Has to be something with PC-cillin.
James, sorry, what I meant was your title says "Parallels Desktop getting Stuck", and to me it sounds like Parallels is working fine, its XP that is stuck on "Applying Computer Settings"? (could very well be PC-cillin, just not sure if Parallels is the issue)
Some Windows XP docs on it:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832161
(mentions trying to unplug the network cable to see if it loads that way)
http://steven.vorefamily.net/2004/06/windows-xp-hangs-applying-computer.html
http://microsoft.mailarchive.ca/public.windowsxp.security_admin/2004-10/2366.htm l
(DNS issues)
I don't see any specific issues mentioned on the Parallels board about PC-cillin, I guess the easiest thing is to boot into safe mode, remove PC-cillin completely and restart without it. I've run AVG on my XP copy running on Parallels with no issues. Good luck!
(you might also ask this on the Parallels forum board: http://forum.parallels.com/forum53.html

Stuck on "Applying computer settings"?

I've got a three year old server running Server 2008R2 that has never shown any signs of a problem but today it blue screened and rebooted and after that it never gets to the login prompt getting stuck on this "Applying computer settings"
message.
I've read a number of threads about this and several suggested fixes including a Microsoft FixIt, but my problem now is that I can't seem to login in Safe Mode in order to run the FixIt or any other repair. Because this is the only DC in the domain I can't
login using the domain administrator account, then for some reason I also can't login to the local administrator account. The password for the local administrator is not the same as the password for the domain administrator and I can't find any record in the
folder that's kept on this server of what the local admin password was and the folder which should contain a password reset disk is missing.
Is there any workaround for this problem when you can't login in safe mode?
- Norm

"then for some reason I also can't login to the local administrator account" Domain controllers don't have local administrator accounts. When they are promoted to a DC, the 'local administrator' is the domain administrator.
"Because this is the only DC in the domain " OUCH! One of the many reasons Microsoft always recommends having at least two DCs.
Option 1. Go to your latest DC backup and recover, and hope that you have not made too many changes to your DC since your last backup. With a single DC, hopefully you were creating a new backup after each known change.
Option 2. Depending on what you thing you can do, boot into WinPE and manipulate files on the disk. Obviously, you will need to know the specifics of what you are trying to change. Sometimes the Fixit instructions provide the details necessary.

Cisco ASDM 6.1(5) Windows server 2008 r2?

Hi!
Have anyone tried to run ASDM 6.1(5) and ASDM-IDM Launcher 1.5(50) on a windows server 2008 r2?
Currently the computer is running windows XP and I want to upgrade to a server..
/Lajja

That's an old ASDM (ca. 2008) and I haven't had the opportunity to try that specific combination.
In general, modern ASDM versions (6.4 or higher) are documented in their release notes as being compatible with Windows Server 2008.
As long as your ASA is 8.0 or later, there's no reason not to load and use the latest ASDM (7.1(5) is current as of right now). That's actually recommended by Cisco.

Windows Server 2008 hangs in "Applying computer settings" after installing Sharepoint 2010

Hi!
I have a server which is designated to be a Sharepoint server, I have successfully installed the server, SQL server R2 and Sharepoint 2010, but right after Sharepoint Server 2010 is installed the nex time I reboot the machine it hangs in "Applying computer
settings" I have tried reinstalling the server several times, improving the server specs.
The installations run just fine I can even see the sharepoint site, and make any configuration, the issue comes when I restart the server (for updates for example..)
Can someone help me with this issue?
Thanks in advance
Carlos R Vargas M

Hi,
It may take some time for configuration after the new installation. Please wait patiently. If it still hangs, please refer to the following article:

Unable to install the security patches KB2677070 in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (The update is not applicable to your computer)

Dear everyone,
We are trying to install the below KB in our windows server 2008 R2 SP1, however, it will show "The update is not applicable to your computer". There is no problems to install the other patches except this one. Do anyone have idea about it?
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2677070
Thanks,
Users

Hi,
According to this KB article, there are many exceptions where this KB is not applicable.
Please perform the following steps:
Expand the “For all supported…” title in the File Information section in the KB article.
Find Crypt32.dll.mui files on your machine.
Then compare the file version, file size, data and time with the ones listed in the KB article.
If there is a match, then this KB doesn’t apply to your machine, which is by design.
Hope this helps.

Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 domain join displays error "Changing the Primary Domain DNS name of this computer to "" failed...."

Hi,
Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 domain join displays error "Changing the Primary Domain DNS name of this computer to "" failed...."
DC:windows Server 2008 R2
Domain functional level:Windows Server 2003
When Winxp join domain, have no this error message.
I checked http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2018583?wa=wsignin1.0 does't work.
There have 3 suggestion in this article:
1.The "Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP" checkbox has been disabled in the IPv4 properties of the computer being joined.
Doesnt's work.
2.Connectivity over UDP port 137 is blocked between client and the helper DC servicing the join operation in the target domain.
On my DC, I run netstat -an, reslut as below:
UDP 192.168.20.3:137 *:*
3.The TCP/IPv4 protocol has been disabled so that the client being joined or the DC in the destination domain targeted by the LDAP BIND is running TCP/IPv6 only.
We are not using IPV6.
This server recently updated from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2. Before upgrade, when Win7 and Win2008 join this domain, also have the same error message.
Please help to check this issue.
Thank you very much.

Hi Guo Ying,
I have faced this critical error which makes over-writes the host names in the domain when you join.
For example: Already you had a host name called as PC.domain.com in the domain.com Domain.
When you try to add the another host name called as PC in the domain.com Domain, it doesn't give you the duplicate name error on the network it does over-write the existing host name called as PC.domain.com & it will add the new host name into the domain.
Host name which got over-written will get removed from the domain. I faced this issue in my project. My DPM host name got removed from the Domain & new host name got joined into the domain which halted my backups for one day.
Final Resolution is as follows:
You need to start the dns console on the DC & drop down the domain name.
Select the _msdcs when you click on _msdcs it will show the Name Server's list on the right hand side.
You need to add the Domain Naming Master under the _msdcs or add all the domain controllers which you had.
After you add the Name server's try joining the PC OR Laptop to the domain which is successfully joins it.

Assuming your rig can support virtual machines, you can use Hyper-V and run another OS there.
Better practice however is to use a dedicated machine and use remote desktop to the server.

Windows Server 2008 R2: "The update is not applicable to your computer"

ALCON,
I'm trying to install a "Windows Update Standalone Installer" file (Windows6.1-KB3032323-x64.msu) along with other .msu files and I keep getting the same message: "The update is not applicable to your computer". The server is a
virtual machine and is also the vCenter server for the system, so I REALLY don't want to mess this installation up and break the system but the installation is needed and mandatory. How can I go about installing these .msu files.
*Note* The system is located in a classified environment so it doesn't have a connection to the outside (unclassified) world. But I'm able to have the .msu files placed on the system at any time.
Thanks!

Group Policy Administrative Templates not applying on Windows XP SP3 - Windows Server 2008 R2

I have a Windows 2008 R2 domain with windows 7, and Windows XP SP3 client workstations.
I have a group policy to deny all access to removable storage in policies/administrative templates/system in user configuration (actually its in the computer configuration as well)
The problem is the policy is having no effect on the Windows XP machines. It works perfectly on Windows 7 machines.
Group policy in general is working on the Windows XP machines, as I can successfully map drives, push out scheduled tasks, and push out printers. (All preferences I know and I have GP Preferences client side extensions installed).
Its almost like the windows XP machines can't "understand" the admin templates from Windows Server 2008 R2.
Do I need to install something on the windows XP machines? What could be the problem?

> Its almost like the windows XP machines can't "understand" the admin
> templates from Windows Server 2008 R2.
Simply read the "supported on" of these settings... Vista and above
required.

Applying Hotfix KB981314 for windows server 2008 r2

Hi All,
I think this is not right place to ask Windows question here but the problem is related to SQL server also
For monitoring SQL server we are using OEM(Oracle Enterprise manager). it works fine for us
but some time we get error like:
Metric evaluation error start - oracle.sysman.emSDK.agent.fetchlet.exception.FetchletException: em_error=There was not enough memory to complete query ''SELECT name,pathname,processid,state FROM win32_service WHERE name =''mssql'' AND
After searching on the I come to know that this error is comes when WMI get crashes hence I got on hotfix KB981314
My question is that
Is there any other way to solve this problem other than hotfix ?
and If I apply this hot fix on my windows server will there any problem with SQL Server
My Server Envirnoment
Windows Server 2008 r2 Enterprise
SQL server 2008 r2 Standard
RAM 64 GB
CPU 64 CPU(Hyper threading Enable)

Hello,
Please try to use the following command to verify the WMI is consistent:
winmgmt /verifyrepository
If you don’t get the message “The WMI repository is consistent”, try to salvage the repository with the following Command Prompt command:
winmgmt /salvagerepository
If that does not work either, then reset WMI using the following command:
winmgmt /resetrepository
Hope this helps.
