Windows server 2012 R2 replication

Hi all,
I have windows server 2012 standard edition and Recently I rented a new dedicated server from the data center. My new dedicated server has Windows server 2012 R2 standard edition. The problem is when I am doing a replication from windows server 2012 standard
to windows server 2012 r2 standard I do not see SYSVOL share in my windows server 2012 R2 standard. I see all the active directory users have been replicated but not the share.
How can I solve this issue? Anyone can help me with this?
net share
Share name Resource Remark
C$ C:\ Default share
F$ F:\ Default share
IPC$ Remote IPC
ADMIN$ C:\Windows Remote Admin
The command completed successfully.
Thanks

Hello,
seems for me that the Promotion from the new DC didn't went well. In your case remove the new machine from the domain, disconnect and use dcpromo /forceremoval and run metadata cleanup on the Windows server 2012 DC.
http://msmvps.com/blogs/mweber/archive/2010/05/16/active-directory-metadata-cleanup.aspx
Tthen assure that you use ONLY the existing DC/DNS server on the NIC from the new machine, NONE else, even not if this machine should become DNS server role, and run dcpromo again to join it to the exiting domain.
So the schema was upgraded to version 69 as Windows server 2012R2 requires this?

Windows server 2012 File replication

Hi All,
I am SQL DBA. But in my current company I am having a new responsibility called IIS Admin.
In my organization, I am instructed to do following activity.
There is a Live Web server(named X) and a user acceptance test Server(named Y)
There is a folder called "Intranet" in both the servers.
If any changes done in "Intranet" of X(any new files created, updated or deleted.....) it needs to be automatically updated on "Intranet" of Y also. But not Vice versa, it should be one way.
At the same time, we need to do changes on Y also.
Both the servers are installed with windows server 2012(Standard edition).
What mechanism can we use to achieve the above.
Please help me in the regard.
Thanks & Regards,
K.P.Senthil Kumar

Hi,
For the file replication, you could use DFS Replication.

Best practices for setting up virtual servers on Windows Server 2012 R2

I am creating a Web server from scratch with Windows Server 2012 R2. I expect to have a host server, and then 3 virtual servers...one that runs all of the web apps as a web server, another as a Database Server, and then on for session state. I
expect to use Windows Server 2012 R2 for the Web Server and Database Server, but Windows 7 for the session state.
I have an SATA2 Intel SROMBSASMR RAID card with battery back up that I am attaching a small SSD drive that I expect to use for the session state, and an IBM Server RAID M1015 SATA3 card that I am running Intel 520 Series SSD's that I expect to
use for Web server and Database server.
I have some questions. I am considering using the internal USB with a flash drive to boot the Host off of, and then using two small SSD's in a Raid 0 for the Web server (theory being that if something goes wrong, session state is on a different drive), and
then 2 more for the Database server in a RAID 1 configuration.
please feel free to poke holes in this and tell me of a better way to do it.
I am assuming that having the host running on a slow USB drive that is internal has no effect on the virtual servers after it is booted up, and the virtual servers are booted up?

There are two issues about RAID0:
1) It's not as fast as people think. So with a general purpose file system like NTFS or ReFS (choice for Windows is limited) you're not going to have any great benefits as there are very low chances whole RAID stripe would be updated @ the same time (I/Os
need to touch all SSDs in a set so 256KB+ in a real life). Web server workload is quite far away from sequential reads or writes so RAID0 is not going to shine here. Log-structures file system (or at least some FS with logging capabilities, think about ZFS
and ZIL enabled) *will* benefit from SSDs in RAID0 properly assigned.
2) RAID0 is dangerous. One lost SSD would render whole RAID set useless. So unless you build a network RAID1-over-RAID0 (mirror RAID sets between multiple hosts with a virtual SAN like or synchronous replication solutions) - you'll be sitting on a time bomb.
Not good :)

Hyper-V 2012 High Availability using Windows Server 2012 File Server Storage

Hi Guys,
Need your expertise regarding hyper-v high availability. We setup 2 hyper-v 2012 host in our infra for our domain consolidation project. Unfortunately, we don't have hardware storage that is said to be a requirement that we can use to create a failover cluster
for hyper-v host to implement HA. Here's the setup:
Host1
HP Proliant L380 G7
Windows Server 2012 Std
Hyper-V role, Failover Cluster Manager and File and Storage Services installed
Host2
Dell PowerEdge 2950
Windows Server 2012 Std
Hyper-V role, Failover Cluster Manager and File and Storage Services installed
Storage
Dell PowerEdge 6800
Windows Server 2012 Std
File and Storage Services installed
I'm able to configure the new feature about Shared Nothing Live Migration - i'm able to move VM's back and fort between my hosts without storage. But this is planned and proactive approach. My concern is to have my hyper-v host to become highly available in
the event of system failure. If my host1 dies, the VMs should go/move to host2 and vice versa. In setting this up, i believe i need to enable the failover clustering between my hyper-v hosts which i already did but upon validation, it says "No disks
were found on which to perform cluster validation tests." Is it possible to cluster it using just a regular windows file server? I've read about SMB 3.0 and i've configured it as well i'm able to save VMs on my file server, but i don't think that my hyper-v
hosts are already highly available.
Any feedback and suggestions or recommendation is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Your shared storage is a single point of failure with this scenario so I would not consider the whole setup as a production configuration... Also setup is both slow (all I/O is travelling down the wire to storage server, running VMs from DAS is ages faster)
and expensive (third server + extra Windows license). I would think twice about what you do and either deploy a built-in VM replication technologies (Hyper-V Replica) and apps built-in clustering features that does not require shared storage (SQL Server and
Database Mirroring for example, BTW what workload do you run?) or use some third-party software creating fault tolerant shared storage from DAS or investing into physical shared storage hardware (HA one of course).
Hi VR38DETT,
Thanks for responding. The hosts will cater a domain controller (on each host), Web filtering software (Websense), Anti-Virus (McAfee ePO), WSUS and an Auditserver as of the moment. Is the Hyper-V Replica somewhat give "high availability" to VMs or Hyper-V
hosts? Also, is the cluster required in order to implement it? Haven't tried that but worth a try.

New Windows Server 2012 unable connect to Netlogon Service or update DNS records

Hi everybody, all of my Windows Servers 2012 decided to collapse after innocuous group policy update that was meant to make user passwords more secure.
The AD and DNS seem to be functioning "normally", I am able to add new Windows7 and Windows Server 2008 machines to the domain, I can see them in listed in the AD and DNS record are update correctly, however, as soon as I try to join Windows Server
2012 it breaks.
The event log is littered on the new server with:
The system failed to register host (A or AAAA) resource records (RRs) for network adapter
with settings:
           Adapter Name : {DB7F73CE-E011-4F3C-BEBC-2CE7A871DF51}
           Host Name : CHEETAH
           Primary Domain Suffix : somedomain.com
           DNS server list :
192.168.0.5
           Sent update to server : <?>
           IP Address(es) :
192.168.0.15
The reason the system could not register these RRs was because the update request it sent to the DNS server timed out. The most likely cause of this is that the DNS server authoritative for the name it was attempting to register or update is not running
at this time.
You can manually retry DNS registration of the network adapter and its settings by typing 'ipconfig /registerdns' at the command prompt. If problems still persist, contact your DNS server or network systems administrator.
and
Name resolution for the name _ldap._tcp.Default-First-Site-Name._sites.dc._msdcs.somedomain.com. timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
When I try to ping the primary DC (WS2003) it fails, the Secondary DC (WS2012) responds.
The >nltest /sc_query:somedomain.com on Windows Servers 2012 returns:
Flags: 0
Trusted DC Name
Trusted DC Connection Status Status = 1311 0x51f ERROR_NO_LOGON_SERVERS
The command completed successfully
yet it works on all other machines.
I tried removing 2012 servers from the domain and rejoining - without success. The cookie crumbled when I added two new installations of Windows Server 2012 & 2008 and 2008 worked fine but 2012 showed same symptoms.
There is one peculiar thing that I had noticed on all Windows 2012 machines, it constantly showing "Workplace Connection - Connecting" in the networks pane on the right side of the screen, which I can't say i ever noticed before.
Unfortunately, the secondary DC is a multihoming server with Direct Access role - I am not sure if this may play some part but our existing configuration worked for a year now without any problems. Issue appeared when I changed the password complexity rule,
which boggles the mind. I wonder if there has been some other changes in GPO that did not propagate from years ago and finally comeback to break things.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Hello Ace, i wish you a Happy New Year! I hope your break was enjoyable and filled with cheer.
In the end I had to bite the bullet and reinstall all troublesome servers. Your recommendations from above removed some serious problems with the DA and DNS resolution.
I was able to attach new server to the domain without any problems and begin painful process of rebuild.
I have promoted TIGER to full DC controller role, but having some issues with replication. Although running >repadmid /showrepl gives positive
feedback, the sysvol folder on the secondary DC is empty.
Also there is a couple of warnings in the event log:
Event ID 4012
Log Name: DNS Server
Source: DNS-Server-Service
The DNS server is waiting for Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) to signal that the initial synchronization of the directory has been completed. The DNS server service cannot start until the initial
synchronization is complete because critical DNS data might not yet be replicated onto this domain controller. If events in the AD DS event log indicate that there is a problem with DNS name resolution, consider adding the IP address of another DNS server
for this domain to the DNS server list in the Internet Protocol properties of this computer. This event will be logged every two minutes until AD DS has signaled that the initial synchronization has successfully completed.
- which has not repeated since 3rd of Jan.
These events occur on the primary DC every few minutes:
Event ID 1030
Source: Userenv
Log Name: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. Check the event log for possible messages previously logged by the policy engine that describes the reason for this.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Event ID 1058
Source: Userenv
Log Name: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Windows cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO CN={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=somedomain,DC=com. The file must be present at the location <\\somedomain.com\sysvol\somedomain.com\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\gpt.ini>.
(The network name cannot be found. ). Group Policy processing aborted.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Should sysvol folder be shared on the secondary DC? Another interesting thing to point out is that
\\somedomain.com\sysvol\somedomain.com\Policies\ can be access
from all other machines except the DC1.
Cheers!
kind regards,
wmin

Windows Server 2012 Standard entitlement in Microsoft Action Pack Subscription

In the Microsoft Action Pack Subscription Windows Server 2012 Std shows "2" as the entitlement.
I'm not sure what this means. A "normal" Server 2012 Std includes:
1. One activation for the host (Hyper-V)
2. Two activations for guests on the same host
....making a total of three activations
I'm guess from reading some threads that partners don't get the same as a normal Std license, but it's pretty fuzzy.
I have two physical servers running Windows 2008R2 with the hyper-V role enabled, each hosts a number of VMs (all with their own licenses). I want to upgrade to Hyper-V v3 (2012). It has been suggested that the two entitlements will not allow me to install
Win2012Std on both machines, and that I will only be able to install on one of the machines with a 2nd virtual installation on the same machine. I got kinda excited and thought I would be able to install core on each machine, then to install 2 VMs on each
machine to test replication etc.
Does anyone know what the story really is?

You may want to ask them over here.

Install windows server 2012 DC on Branch office

Hi ALL,
i am planning to install a secondary DC on our branch office where currently they are on different domain and forest. our head office is currently on windows server 2008 R2 std, where forest and domain functional level are on windows server 2003. our headoffice
domain name is:- (corpoffice.org) and branch office domain is:- ssl (its a single level domain on windows server 2003).
am thinking to upgrade our headoffice DC to windows server 2012 r2 and the same i wanted to do for branch office as well.
i need some guidance how to proceed with this DC setup as both vlan network is different and all the client settings are different. am getting few query like
1. should i upgrade my headoffice DC first before i setup the branch office DC.
2. how the branch office client will communicate to new DC.
any suggestion and guidance would really helpful.
Thanks
srini

Hi
You will need to make sure all the ports are open for traffic to move between both DC's. Also need to check that you dont have replication problems, IE, slow link. First step would be to see if you can ping the HO DC from the branch, then once you have established
that you have all the ports open and your VLAN is routing traffic correctly then you can start with your DC setup.
You can first upgrade your DC, look at this blog:

Newbie looking to setup home virtual lab to do Windows Server 2012 R2 Labs for school

Hey all, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction here. Im looking to setup a virtual lab with 3 windows server 2012 r2 machines running, all connected to the internet and within the same network so I can work on labs for class.

15. When a message appears stating that you must restart your computer, click OK.
16. Click the Close button to close the System Properties dialog box.
17. When it says that you must restart your computer, click Restart Now.
I went through this once and I couldnt get past "12. Click Domain and type Contoso.com in the text box. Click OK" without an error.
I uninstalled all machines and VMware entirely, reinstalled VMware and then reinstalled machines, went though the guide again, same error when trying to connect the app server to the contoso.com domain.
Here's a screenshot of the error:
I also tried changing both machines to bridged connection, no luck, as well as NAT connection, still no luck.
Any help is greatly appreciated... Thanks guys!

5)mapje waar MSI in zit => security => domain controller (user) toevoegen met volledig beheer
GPO voor browser block chrome:
3)block listed urls..
4)op client gpupdate
Failed login events:
1)Group policy instellen op OU Servers: Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Audit Policy\ ==> Failed logins aanzetten
2)gpupdate /force
1)powershell
2)get-windowsfeature => install-windowsfeature SMTP-Server
3)Internet information services => S1 => Domain RMB => properties => Acces tab => Relay => Add => Group computers => IP: 192.168.1.1 subnet 255.255.255.0 => Ok => ok
3b)Eens afmelden en aanmelden met fout wachtwoord zodat er een log geschreven wordt met audit failure in de security log van event viewer
4)Eventviewer security log => op failed audit log RMB => attach => Geef andere naam => next => next start program => program: powershell.exe =>
open the propery dialog aanvinken
5)Run wheter user is logged in or not aanvinken => tabke conditions: start the task only if AC power afvinken! => ok => paswoord administrator ingeven
6)powershell: get-executionpolicy => resultaat moet remotesigned zijn => view tabke => script pane aanzetten =>
Script geven: $smtpServer = ìsmtp2.school.beî
$msg = New-Object Net.Mail.MailMessage
$smtp = New-Object Net.Mail.SmtpClient($smtpServer)
$msg.From = ì[email protected]î
$msg.ReplyTo = [email protected]î

$smtp.Send($msg)
7)Script opslaan in mapje op C schijf => powershell cd naar mapje met script => ls commandoTo configure the time source for the forest
8)Task scheduler openen => naar event viewer tasks => login => rmb properties => actions => powershell.exe edit => add arguments: -command "C:\Script\login.ps1" => ok => password admin ingeven
9)Testen
*Op welke manier kan je je MX records controleren met NSLOOKUP
cmd => nslookup => set type=mx => host.net.
*Commando powershell om Client toe te voegen aan het domein:
Add-Computer -domainname host -cred administrator@host -passthru -verbose
Best practice analyzer:
1)Server manager => klik op dns en op ADDS => Scroll naar onder tot bij BPA => Task start scan => bekijk resultaten:
Vraagje: Welke suggesties zou je kunnen oplossen:
DNS server should have scavenging enabled
De PDC emulator master moet geconfigureerd worden
1)To configure a domain controller in the parent domain as a reliable time source
*W32tm /config /reliable:yes /update
2)To configure the time source for the forest
*w32tm /config /computer:s1.host.net /manualpeerlist:ntp.belnet.be /syncfromflags:manual /update
Tijd moet gelijk zijn van S1 en S2!!
Corefig opstarten in powershell:
1)cd C:\corefig
2)execution policy aanpassen: Set-ExecutionPolicy bypass
3).\corefig.ps1
4)naam veranderen in corefig
Commando om S2 toe te voegen aan het domein in de OU servers:
1)DNS instellen
Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias "Ethernet" -ServerAddresses 192.168.1.1
2)Toevoegen aan OU servers
Add-Computer -domainname sdhost -cred administrator@host -OUPath "OU=Servers,OU=OU,DC=Host,DC=net"
Herstarten
OPPASSEN HIERMEE ALS S2 ZELF DC MOET WORDEN!
Voorzie je server van de DNS-rol via windows powershell:
1)Import-Module Servermanager
2)Get-WindowsFeature
2)Add-WindowsFeature "DNS" -restart
Remoteaccess:
S1 remote access geven voor administrators bij active directory
view => advanced features enablen
=> Remote management users => HOST\Administrator toevoegen met full rechten
=> Remote Desktop users => HOST\Administrator toevoegen met full rechten
Bekijk welke firewall regel op dit moment Remote Management nog blokkeert en laat
die communicatie toe:
1)Op S2 in powershell: Configure-SMRemoting.exe -enable
2)op S1 => Server manager => manage => add servers => S2 ingeven => ok
3)Active directory installeren op s2 via add roles (via S1)
4)S2 promoveren to domain controller
5)credentials van s1 gebruiken => naam subdomain 'premium'
6)DSRM passwoord: P0wnerken
7)PREMIUM
DNS instellen van s2 zelf
Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceAlias "Ethernet" -ServerAddresses 192.168.1.2
C2)DNS server instellen op S2 : 192.168.1.2
Toevoegen aan domein premium.host.net => inloggen met admin account van s2 domein
herstarten van C2
Maak†van†deze†tweede†server†nu†een†domeincontroller†voor†het†nieuwe†domein
ìpremiumî.†Daar†zijn†twee†werkwijzen†voor.†Zoek†deze†methodes†op†en†noteer†deze
summier†hieronder:
- Werken met DCPROMO.exe
- Werken met GUI vanop S1
Je†mag†zelf†kiezen†welke†methode†je†toepast.†Noteer†hier†wel†de†commandoís†die†je
toepast:
Werken met GUI: new existing domain to current forest => naam PREMIUM
Netwerkkaarten toevoegen:
VCLOUD => Niet customizen!!!
Firewall disablen S2:
netsh firewall set opmode disable
Op S1 => chrome => ip in url : https://192.168.1.150:446 => proceed => logingegevens:
naam: openfiler
pass: password
Services => CIFS / NFS => Enable => Start
manage volumes => 1GB volume => start cyl = 1, end cyl = 128 => ongeveer 1GB
Add volume group => NFS als naam en 1GB volume toevoegen => Add volume => naar onder scrollen:
Naam: NFS
Bestandssysteem: EXT4 kiezen
*Add new physical volume 10GB: MINSTENS 35 CYLINDERS TUSSENLATEN!!!!
Start cyl = 164, end cyl = 1469, is ongeveer 10GB
Volume groups => Nieuwe aanmaken met SMB als naam => Add volume => volume selecteren en toevoegen => naar uw smb volume group gaan
=> SMB volume kiezen => naam: SMB => MAX Geheugen => EXT4 bestandssysteem
1)Clocksettings zetten via ntp server: ntp.belnet.be (Moet gelijk zijn met domaincontroller waarin je hem toevoegd)
2)DNS zetten van S2
Hostname: of
Primary DNS: 192.168.1.2
Secondary DNS: 192.168.1.1
Gateway: 192.168.1.254
3)Accounts:
Expert view!
*Use windows domain controller and authentication aanvinken
Security Mode: Active directory
Domain / workgroup: PREMIUM
Domain controllers: s2.premium.VAhost.net
ADS realm: PREMIUM.HOST.NET
Join domain: aanvinken
Administrator username: Administrator
Administrator password: Azerty123
*Naar onder scrollen tot kerberos 5: Aanvinken
Realm: premium.host.net
KDC: s2.premium.host.net
Admin server: s2.premium.VAhost.net
Share aanmaken:
1)Shares => klikken op SMB / NFS => Nieuwe subfolder aanmaken: SMBshare / NFSshare
2)subfolder klikken => maak share => bij rechten naar beneden scrollen => Domain admins: PG & RW, Domain users: RO
3)Update
Systeem beveiliging:
1)system => Network access configuration => Nieuw netwerk toevoegen
Name: Sharenetwork
Network/host: 192.168.1.0
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Type: Share
2)Update
Protocol aanzetten:
Shares => subfolder smbshared => Volledig vanonder scrollen => SMB/CIFS protocol op rw zetten
Connect to share met:
root
Azerty123
Connect Z-schijf met SMB share:
1)RMB op SMB share
2)Map network drive
3)Pad SMB share intypen
4)connecten met share account of finish 1)Private storage en manueel ip adres ingeven
Beveiliging backup:
1)Active directory van S1
2)OP s1 zelf volledig nieuwe OU: "TEMP Accounts" aanmaken => accidentally delete afzetten!!
3)2USers aanmaken die lid zijn van de groep ("member of") Guest
4)Op S1 => C schijf => nieuwe map map aanmaken en delen
5)Op advanced sharing van gedeelde map => Guest 1 Full control => Everyone alleen read rechten
6)Testen op client of je op Guest1 tekstbestand kan aanmaken en via Guest2 op die share map niet.
7)Als het werkt Guest1 verwijderen en bekijk sharing permissions op Guest1 map
*Wat stel je vast bij verwijderen Guest1 via active directory:
De guest account wordt vervangen door een ander account met een lange naam
die full control heeft over de map
8)Guest1 terug opnieuw aanmaken, wat stel je vast?
Guest1 heeft geen rechten meer over de map en de aangemaakte account blijft staan
Recycle BIN:
1)Open Active directory administrative center
2)Klik op uw domein links
3)Rechts => enable Recycle Bin
4)Verwijder Guest1 op AD
5)Guest1 komt te staan bij deleted users/objects op Recycle Bin
6)Mogelijkheid om te restoren
7)Delete OU Temp accounts => Lukt niet onmiddellijk => Omdat er nog objecten in zitten
*Zoek op welke technieken je kan toepassen om een backup te nemen van je Active Directory. Bekijk uiteraard ook welke 2 manieren
er zijn om een backup van je AD terug te plaatsen (Authoritative en non-authoritative):
-13.1.1 Authoritative Restore
Dit proces herstelt de AD na bc een wijziging die ongedaan gemaakt moet worden.
AD wordt hersteld vanaf de backup, de backup overschrijft dan alle andere DC's met eventuele nieuwere informatie.
-13.1.2 Non-Authoritative Restore
Terugzetten van gegevens van de backup. Nadien ontvangt de DC updates van andere DC's die gemaakt zijn sinds de backup.
Backup S1:
Eerst probleem openfiler oplossen:
1)openfiler opstarten vanuit vmcloud
2)cd /etc/samba
3)vim smb.conf (toevoegen: strict allocate = yes) => eerst i voor insert => opt einde escape => :wq voor opslaan
4)/etc/init.d/smb restart
Backup zelf
1)Install windows backup in server manager => add roles => features
2)Open windows backup
3)Action => backup once
4)Different options => Custom kiezen => System State backuppen
5)Remote disk kiezen
6)pad share: \\of\smb.smb.SMBshare
7)Als backup mislukt, de aangemaakte files door de backup manueel verwijderen en backup terug opnieuw proberen
!!!Als openfiler ineens verdwijnd van domein, moet je de tijd nakijken van beiden systemen (moeten gelijk zijn met max 5min verschil)
Restore backup (authoritatief ingesteld)
http://technet.microsoft.com/ru-ru/library/cc816878(v=ws.10).aspx
1)Herstart de domeincontroller in Directory Services Restore Mode Remotely
=> run => Msconfig.msc => stapkes staan in url: http://technet.microsoft.com/ru-ru/library/cc794729(v=ws.10).aspx
2)Restore uw ADDS van je backup a.d.h.v. een non-authoritatieve restore.
Dit zorgt ervoor dat de domeincontroller terug in de staat komt waarop de objecten die verwijderd zijn
er terug bijstaan.
http://technet.microsoft.com/ru-ru/library/cc794755(v=ws.10).aspx
in cmd:
=>wbadmin get versions -backuptarget:\\of\smb.smb.SMBshare
=>wbadmin start systemstaterecovery -version:12/03/2013-12:37 -backuptarget:\\of\smb.smb.SMBshare -quiet
3)Markeer objecten als authoritatief zodat ze niet worden overschreven bij het restoren door synchronisatiefouten
tussen de verschillende domeinen.
http://technet.microsoft.com/ru-ru/library/cc816813(v=ws.10).aspx <== hieraan beginnen
=> open run => ntdsutil
=> activate instance ntds => enter
=> authoritative restore => enter
=> restore subtree "OU=Stagiairs,DC=Host,DC=net" => enter
=> quit => enter
=> Start terug op met de domaincontroller in normale modus dus dsrm opstartmode uitschakelen: Safe boot uitvinken
Nakijken of beide OU's Stagiairs en Guests er nog staan
(In dit geval is OU guests wel verwijderd doordat we maar 1 DC hebben dus de informatie
wordt niet gesynchroniseerd met een 2de DC)

Risico's gedeelde application pool:
   -1 proces per application pool (=>zwaar proces dat veel resources nodig heeft)
       (als dit proces vastloopt alle websites geimpacteerd)
   -gebruikers kunnen in principe aan elkaars bestanden
1)IIS installeren op S2 via server manager op S1
2)Role services in setup, volledig vanonder => management service aanvinken (dit staat remote management toe)
3)Op S1 Web server zoeken en enkel van IIS de management console installeren zodat IIS van S2 beheerbaar is
4)Powershell op S2:
Invoke-command -ScriptBlock{Set-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WebManagement\Server -Name EnableRemoteManagement -Value 1}
Invoke-command -ScriptBlock {Set-Service -name WMSVC -StartupType Automatic}
Invoke-command -ScriptBlock {Start-service WMSVC}
In IIS manager op S1 => Add connection => S2.premium.sdhost.net => account: administrator van S2
In IIS Manager => Sites => new Website, 2 website aanmaken
   -'klant1.sdhost.net' Physical path => C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Klant1 => hostname = Klant1.host.net
   -'klant2.sdhost.net' Physical path => C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Klant2 => hostname = Klant2.host.net
In DNS A-record toevoegen:
   -hostname: www
   -IP: 192.168.1.2
Voor toegang via IPv6 ook een AAAA-record toevoegen:
   -hostname: www
   -IP: fdac:1fff:b0b0:4bd0::2
Voor elke site ook een een CNAME-record aanmaken:
   -Alias name: klant1, FQDN: www.host.net
   -Alias name: klant2, FQDN: www.host.net
In deze standaardopstelling schuilen enkele risicoís. Geef twee risicoís die de huidige
configuratie (gedeelde application pool) met zich mee kan brengen:
- Als je een website hebt die zwaar CPU belastend is (zoals foto's herschalen) heeft dit ook effect op je andere websites
- Omdat je websites binnen dezelfde apppool zitten hebben ze eenzelfde identiteit en kun je geen aparte permissies opzetten.

Maybe you can do this tutorial to, it is a tuto for learning DFS & DNSSEC..
Wat betekent de optie “dnssecok”
   -> Deze optie stelt de dnssecOK bit in voor deze query
   -> Dit verteld de server that de client dnssec verstaat en dat deze server hiervan gebruik kan maken met deze client
Krijg je een bevestiging dat dit een secure antwoord is? (RRSIG)
   -> Neen want de zone is nog niet gesigneerd
Controleer of de client C1 ingesteld is om secure responses af te dwingen bij zijn DNS
caching server: get-dnsclientnrptpolicy. Resultaat?
   -> Het resultaat is niks, vermoedelijk omdat er geen instellingen zijn hiervoor
Probeer opnieuw een request op C1 voor S1 met ResolveDNSName. Is het signeren
van de zone voldoende om secure antwoorden te krijgen op de client?
   -> Er komt opnieuw geen RSIG record dus dit is niet voldoende
Om secure DNS responses op de client voor het domein securezone.lab af te dwingen
wordt in het domein Host.net een GPO ingesteld. (nieuwe GPO voor hele domein).
zoek op en stel deze GPO in voor responses van securezone.lab.
   -> default domain policy -> Edit =>   -> Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Name Resolution Policy.
   "In the details pane, under Create Rules and To which part of the namespace does this rule apply, choose Suffix from the drop-down list and type sec.contoso.com next to Suffix."
   "On the DNSSEC tab, select the Enable DNSSEC in this rule checkbox and then under Validation select the Require DNS clients to check that name and address data has been validated by the DNS server checkbox."
   "In the bottom right corner, click Create and then verify that a rule for sec.contoso.com was added under Name Resolution Policy Table."
   => GPupdate /force uitvoeren
   => Dan kan de policy bekeken worden
Je zorgt er uiteraard ook voor dat deze policy toegepast werd op de client (C1) en controleer dit opnieuw met get-dnsclientnrptpolicy.
   => GPupdate /force
   => get-dnsclientnrptpolicy => levert hetzelfde resultaat als op de server
Opnieuw: ResolveDnsName s1.securezone.lab server S1 dnssecok Wat krijg je als antwoord te zien? Wat is de oorzaak?
(Distribueer) Kopieer de trust achor data van de secure.lab zone op S2 naar S1 en importeer die op de DNS van S1 als trusted anchor. (keysetsecurezone.lab)
   http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831411.aspx
opnieuw: ResolveDnsName s1.securezone.lab server S1 dnssecok Krijg je nu een (beveiligd antwoord)?
   ->Ik krijg nu een beveiligd antwoord van de DNS server gesigneerd door securezone.lab met geldigheidstermijn
p23 Distributed File System
Installeer op beide server de “file services role”.
   -> Add roles and features
   -> File services
       -> DFS
Maak een namespace aan (DOCUMENTATION) in je domein hOst.net. Stel de sharepermissions zo in dat de groep ‘auteurs’ schrijfrechten heeft. gewone gebruikers
mogen enkel leesrechten hebben.
   -> DFS manager
   -> Namespaces => Add namespace
maak een folder aan in de namespace DOCUMENTATION met als naam PDF
   -> Add folder
maak een tweede target aan voor de PDF folder
   -> Add target to folder
stel replicatie in tussen de twee folder targets. De inhoud wordt vanaf nu dus gesynct.
   -> Automatisch bij 2de target volg de wizard
Welke andere stappen zijn nodig om een volledig redundant DFS systeem op te zetten?
   -> De folder moeten via DFS geschared staan
   -> De replicatie moet ingesteld worden
maak een diagnostisch raport aan over hoe replicatie gebeurt, en corrigeer eventue vastgestelde problemen.
   -> Rechtermuisknop op de replication object
   -> Create diagnostic report
   -> kies de reports
stel quota’s in. In de map PDF maak je een subfolder CATALOGS aan, maar zorg dat die niet groter dan 10MB kan worden. Stel hiervoor een harde limiet in.
   -> install FSRM bij file services
   -> klik quotas => add quota => kies het bestand
   -> nieuwe quota => 10mb hard aanvinken
   -> save
   http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc875787(v=ws.10).aspx
omdat we willen vermijden dat de volledige bandbreedte ingenomen wordt door DFS,beperken we de replication speed tot 2MBps.
   -> Klik op de replication -> rechterkolom kies vor edit replication group
   -> Stel de 2MBps in

SharePoint Foundation 2013 installed on Windows Server 2012 not sending out email notification

I have a server where i installed SP Foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2012. I have configured the SMTP as well as the outgoing SMTP in Central Administration
of SharePoint. When i create an alert on a document library, its did not sent any email notification on the changes made to the document in the document library. So, i created a workflow to send out email using SPD2013. The workflow run, but it cannot sent
out email with error saying that outgoing email is not configured correctly. I have checked with another server which i installed SP foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2008 R2 - its sending out email just fine using same configuration and outgoing SMTP.
I need help to resolve this issue or at least the cause of the problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try below:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13771.troubleshooting-steps-for-sharepoint-alert-email-does-not-go-out.aspx
Go to Central Admin ---->Operations----->outgoing email settings and verify that SMTP server is mentioned correctly
2) Test the connectivity with the SMTP server.
In order to do that follow these steps:
Open cmd
telnet <SMTP server name> 25 ( We connect smtp server to the port 25)
you should see a response like this 220 <servername> Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.3959 ready at date and time
Beware that different servers will come up with different settings but you will get something
If you dont get anything then there could be 2 possible reasons, either port 25 is blocked or
the smtp server is not responding.
For testing response from your server
For testing response say ehlo to it.
Type :
ehlo <servername>
output:
250 <servername> Hello [IP Address]
Now a test mail can be sent from that SharePoint server.
Now we need to enter the From address of the mail.
Type :
mail from: [email protected]
output:
250 2.1.0 [email protected]….Sender OK
It's time to enter the recepient email address.
Type : rcpt to: [email protected]
output:
250 2.1.5 [email protected]
Now we are left with the data of the email. i.e. subject and body.
Type : data
output:
354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
Type:
subject: this is a test mail
Hi
This is test mail body
I am testing SMTP server.
Hit Enter, then . and then Enter.
output:
250 2.6.0 <<servername>C8wSA00000006@<servername>> Queued mail for delivery
Type: quit
output:
221 2.0.0 <servername> Service closing transmission channe
3) Check alerts are enabled for your web application
verify if the windows timer service is running or not.
Run this stsadm command to check that
Stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL -pn alerts-enabled
This should return <Property Exist="Yes" Value="yes" />
If you don’t get this, Enable alerts by:
stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn alerts-enabled -pv "true" -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL
If its already enabled, try turn off and turn on it back.
4) Check the Timer job and Properties
Go to
MOSS 2007: Central Administration > Operations > Timer Job Definitions (under Global Configuration)
In SharePoint 2010: Central Administration > Monitoring > Review Job Definitions
Check whether the "Immediate Alerts" job is enabled for your web application. check these properties:
job-immediate-alerts
job-daily-alerts
job-weekly-alerts
stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url "http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL" -pn job-immediate-alerts
The expected output is:
<Property Exist="Yes" Value="every 5 minutes between 0 and 59"/>.
If you don’t get this, run the following command to set its value.
stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn job-immediate-alerts -pv “every 5 minutes between 0 and 59" -url http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL
5) Check whether the account is subscribed for alerts and it has a valid email account. This should be the first thing to check if the problem persists for some users not for all.
6) Then check if at all those users have at least read permission for the list. Because the first mail should go out for every user without security validation but the next ones won't be delivered unless the user has at least read
permission.
7) If it is happening for one user, can also try to delete and re add the user in the site.
8) Most importantly , you should try this one.
Run this SQL query to the content db < Select * from Timerlock>
This will give you the name of the server which is locking the content database and since when.
In order to get rid of that lock
Go to that server which is locking the content db and then restart the windows timer service.
within some time it should release the lock from content db, if not then at the most stop the timer job for some time
Once the lock will be released then try to send some alerts
You will surely get the email alert.
I found this is the most probable reason for alert not working most of the time. We should start troubleshooting with above steps before coming to this step for any alert email issue but from step 1 to step 7 are best for new environments or new servers.
If the issue is like this ,alert was working before and suddenly stopped working without any environmental change then above conditions in step 1-7 should be ideally fine.
Even after this if it is not working, then you can try these few more steps too
9) Try re-registering the alert template:
stsadm -o updatealerttemplates -url http://Your-SharePoint-Web-App-URL -f "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\XML\alerttemplates.xml" -LCID 1033
10) Try to clear the configuration cache
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

Hi
Looks like the AAA configuration is set for local
aaa authentication enable console LOCAL
aaa authentication http console LOCAL
aaa authentication serial console LOCAL
aaa authentication ssh console LOCAL
aaa authentication telnet console LOCAL
Change it to Radius
aaa-server Keefa-Raduis protocol radius
aaa-server Keefa-Raduis (NAZCO) host 172.16.200.10
key *****
radius-common-pw *****
for example :
aaa authentication telnet console Keefa-Raduis LOCAL
Now when you will do telnet to using Radius credentials, Its Should work, If radius goes down you can use LOCAL username and password as fallback method.
Cheers!

How to install Windows Server 2012 as a Virtual Machine on Window 7 64 bit machine

Hi All,
I need to install virtual Window Server 2012 on Window 7 machine(8gb ram,64 bit machine).
Please give me the list of required softwares to install. If possible the please give download link as well.
Thanks
mit

Since you're on Windows 7 I'd probably go for using VirtualBox
https://www.virtualbox.org/ to host the virtual machine.
Downloading 2012 depends what you're after really, if you've got TechNet / MSDN then you can download it from there, otherwise you'd need to have a licenced copy. You can download 180 day evaluation versions from the Microsoft website here :
2012 - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/evalcenter/hh670538.aspx
2012 R2 -

Resolved ! :)
Root Cause: The user account I was using had all the required privileges for Exchange Installation but was not having access to edit the registry of the server. Enable access to registry edit tools and you are good to go.
As an alternate you can also try installing using Domain Administrator account if in case there is an IT Policy constraint in the former method.
Thanks to all.

WIndows Server 2012 - Server Manager Error CLR20r3

WIndows Server 2012 - Server Manager Error CLR20r3
I have just experienced this error of ( CLR20r3) when trying to add or remove server roles.
Server Manager crashes when trying to go into the Add/ Or Remove server roles
What I have tried.
.NET Diag
.NET Fix
Lots of research, and didn't find any resolution.
Apparently this is not strictly tied to Windows Server 2012, as I see that Windows Server 2008 R2 , and even Windows desktop users have experienced this issue. With no direct resolution.
Here is a screen shot for reference.......
If anyone should obtain the MS Fix or hear of it, please post so that others who are experiencing this issue can find peace in their day.
I have given up, ended up performing a reinstall. ( sadly)

Hi RF,
Based on your description, would you please refer to following operations and troubleshoot this issue?
Please use
Sytem File Checker tool to scan all protected system files.
Please
perform a clean boot to check if some third-party services affected.
Please backup the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Ole. Then delete following two registry key (if exist): LeagcyImepersonationLevel and LegacyauthenticationLevel
Then log off and logon and monitor the result.
In addition, please navigate to %windir%\logs and check ServerManager and CBS log file if you can find some
relevant errors.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu
