Windows Server 2012 R2 - unable to change the Network category when is in domain

HI, I've read articles about this topic but after all tries - i couldn't find appropriate decision and i still have problem. 
Set-NetConnectionProfile : Unable to set the NetworkCategory due to one of the following possible reasons: not running
PowerShell elevated; the NetworkCategory cannot be changed from 'DomainAuthenticated'; user initiated changes to Networ
kCategory are being prevented due to the Group Policy setting 'Network List Manager Policies'.
At line:1 char:1
+ Set-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceIndex 16 -NetworkCategory Public
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : PermissionDenied: (MSFT_NetConnect...EA9E84DF602D}"):root/StandardCi...nnectionProfile)
   [Set-NetConnectionProfile], CimException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : MI RESULT 2,Set-NetConnectionProfile
I have  two NIC on my server2 - joined to domain as domain member  ( NIC are public (internet) and private (local net) )  Now they both are in NetworkCategory - DomainAuthenticated.
I tryed:
1. Check for Administrator  privileges on Powershell - OK
2. Try to Change GPO - Network List Manager Policy - to be available for changes from user  - NO success
3. Check - Local Policy on Server2 - too NO success
4. Try to change throught command  with PowerShell   ->   Set-NetConnectionProfile -InterfaceIndex 16 -NetworkCategory Public  Again - NO success
5.
 thru the registry:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles\
open the network profile that you have to change and modify the "Category" value:
0 = public
1 = private
2 = domain
NO Success
Did anybody have some other idea - what to do?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, the topology of th network ist the next:
ISP (DATACENTER) ->  SRV1 (phisical) +  SRV2 &SRV3 (virtual) 
Every one of them have 2 NIC  ( for server  2 and 3  - virtual  too)  
NIC1 - operates on private level -  192.168.1.1 dns, gate,dc (srv1)
NIC2 - real ip address, gate - gateway of ISP  dns - 192.168.1.1
When set up NIC1 - everything is ok .
NIC2 - action is : set ip and mask - enable without gate  - then it is in unidentified status  and  go in public state.
disable nic2, set up gateway  - and dns - 192.168.1.1  and again enable - everything is ok
But after restart  - nic2 - goes again in Domainauthenticated mode. :(
Additional:
On srv2 - i put RRAs role and smthing stange is that after enable rras service - all ports are shutted and machine pretendet to be invisible.

  • Windows Server 2012 - Direct Access clients and the Windows 8 firewall

    Hi,
    We're running a simple proof-of-concept for Server 2012 Direct Access, we have a single DA server behind a firewall using NAT. We have a number of client devices setup for DA and running Windows 8.
    Our issue is that we can only get the Windows 8 direct access clients to connect (when outside the corporate network) and work with the windows firewall disabled (public network profile). 
    With the windows firewall disabled everything works exactly as expected. When outside the corporate network the client detects the network state (public network profile), connects via DA and all internal resources can be accessed successfully...fantastic.
    Is there some specific guidance on manually configuring the windows 8 firewall for Direct Access ? We've tried the obvious TCP:443 with edge traversal enabled but without success.
    Much of the information we have found relates to UAG rather than Windows 2012 DA.
    Any assistance is appreciated.

    Hi,
    There isn’t any specific configuration on the firewall.
    Just confirm that port 443 can be forwarded to DirectAccess server.
    Of course, make sure you are using IPsec first.

  • Windows Server 2012 Foundation, in a Workgroup - "The server did not finish checking the license compliance. If the server is joined to a domain, make sure that the server can connect to a domain controller"...

    Every few days we see two dialogs with the following messages:
    Dialog 1, title: Check for Licensing Compliance is Incomplete
    The server did not finish checking the license compliance. If the server is joined to a domain, make sure that the server can connect to a domain controller.
    Dialog 2, title: Check for Licensing Compliance is Incomplete
    The server did not finish checking the license compliance. If the server is joined to a domain, make sure that the server can connect to a domain controller. If the license compliance check cannot be completed, the server will automatically shut
    down in 8 day(s) 23 hour(s) 0 minute(s).
    The server is not (and never has been) joined to a domain or had any DC roles installed. In fact its still connected to the default Workgroup.
    The server was configured in our office and never showed this message until it was installed on site. The main difference from what I can see is that when installed on site it was given a static IP address and does not have any DNS settings in the network
    adapter properties. 
    I have scoured a number of forums on this error but in almost every other instance of this error message the servers are connected to a Domain Controller and the solutions generally are linked to dis-joining and rejoining the domain. Unfortunately this is
    not an option for this scenario.
    I initially thought that adding some relevant DNS server IP address may resolve the issue, however, we have the exact same model server configured exactly the same running at a different site that does not experience this problem. This server also has no
    DNS server configured.
    I have seen a post that suggests turning off the servers "Foundation Checking", but I'm unsure how to do this.

    Thanks for your response Vivian.
    I can confirm that this server is not (and never has been) a member of any active directory, it is configured as a Workgroup server. It was initially configured on a network that does have an active directory, but was never joined to it. During that time it
    never displayed these messages.
    The server was moved into production on a different site and network and setup with a static IP address.The site network does have its own active directory but the server was not joined to it. It is whilst on this new network that these messages began.
    Since my original post DNS servers have been added and the Microsoft activation has been verified, however, the messages are still appearing.
    There are only 2 user accounts configured on this server. The local admin account and another local admin user.
    The remote desktop services roles have been installed but not yet configured. I don't think that has any bearing on this scenario though.
    The description of this error in the above "Introduction to Windows Server 2012 Foundation" link states:
    This error occurs when the server cannot finish checking the requirements for the root domain, forest trust configuration, or both. It usually happens when the server cannot connect to a domain controller. If the situation persists, the server will
    shut down 10 days after the first time the compliance check failed. Each time this error message occurs, it will state the actual time remaining before the server will shut down. If you restart the server after it has shut down because of non-compliance, the
    server will shut itself down again in 3 days.
    The above description leads me to the following question - In a Workgroup environment, does the server still try to contact a domain controller to establish a level of trust? If this is the case could it be that the server can no longer see the initial DC
    on its new network and this is what is triggering the messages?
    Am I clutching at straws here?

  • Exchange 2013 Windows Server 2012 NLB and DAG on the same server

    Hi all, I am installing Exchange 2013 infrastructure with two servers. 
    Both servers have the CAS and Mailbox roles. 
    For mounting on High Availability, will create a DAG. 
    Client Access I have no external Network Load Balancer. 
    I thought about installing the NLB servers in the DAG members, this could not be done before. 
    I do not know if in Windows Server 2012 and Exchange 2013 
    Can I install NLB on members of a DAG? 
    regards
    Microsoft Certified IT Professional Server Administrator

    Hi,
    I’m afraid that WNLB and DAG cannot coexist in the same server. Because WNLB is incompatible with Windows failover clustering. If we're using an Exchange 2010 DAG and we want to use WNLB, we need to have the Client Access server role and the Mailbox server
    role running on separate servers.
    For more information, you can refer to the following article:

  • How can I speed up logins using MacBooks to a Windows Server 2008 environment.  Logging onto the network is extremely slow.  We are using a wireless connection to the network in classrooms

    I work in an Education environment with Windows Server 2008.  I am trying to join our Macbooks to Active Directory.  They are joined but the login is extremely slow.  I read that this is because of a possible problem with an OS update.

    Check the ethernet link speed when connected directly to the TC.. if you are plugged into the modem direct.. and comparing that with wireless on the TC we have no way of knowing where the issue is.
    There is some issue related by someone when the TC was bridged.
    It is extremely hard to impossible to know what is causing wireless slow down.. needs lots more info.
    What is the link speed?
    Set manually and try different channels.
    The series 1 cannot do 2.4ghz and 5ghz simultaneously but test on 5ghz and see what the speed is like. You will need to be in the same room as the TC.

    Hi
    We have a Windows 2012 server with Exchange 2013, all is working fine except now i am getting issues with the backup.
    'Exchange - The application will not be available for recovery from this backup. the consistency check failed for the component Microsoft Exchange Server'
    I have checked the database all is fine, i have created a new db and move all mailbox;s over and then removed the old db, i have enabled circular logging and then disabled it, it seems no matter what i do i cannot get a full backup!
    i did have to restore the server once and the backups still worked for about 4 days after that and then stopped, i have also tried to remove and re add the backup role!
    i am stumped, any advice would be great!

    Hi
    Ok, i created a test db and tried to back it up right away, it failed, i did not add any mailbox's to it either. i got quite a few events in the windows logs, as well as the same event above i got the following:

  • 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

    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?

  • Unable to install Client Tools for Sybase ASE 15.7 on Windows Server 2012 64-Bit

    Hello Folks,
    I just downloaded the client tools package from https://support.sap.com/swdc --> Installation and Upgrades --> A-Z list --> SAP ADAPTIVE SERVER ENTERPRISE --> SYBASE ASE 15.7 --> Installation --> Microsoft Windows --> 51044415.zip
    I'm trying to install the client tools for a newly provisioned Windows 2012 64-Bit machine. After unzipping the folder and running autorun, the installation does not proceed. When I go to pcclient64 and run either setup.exe or setupConsole.exe, I get the error "This Application has Unexpectedly Quit, Invocation of this Java Application has caused an InvocationTargetException. This application will now exit. (LAX)". I stumbled across various posts on the forum, and it appears that the installer is not certified for Windows Server 2012. I tried using the compatibility mode for Windows 7, and it proceeds further and launches the SAP GUI; however, it closes afterwards.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    51044415 is a PC-Client 15.7 refresh.
    You are using a version that was not certified with Windows 2012. Get the most current version PC-Client 15.7 SP130 or SDK 15.7 SP130 or SP132.
    If your looking for PC-Client5.7 SP130 look for EBF23439
    We didn't get certified with Windows 2012 until SDK 15.7 ESD#6 even with that I reported a few minor issues.
    You need the following on the machine before the installation.
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64)
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x86) (or dsedit and ocscfg will not work)
    Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package (x64) (or dsedit and ocscfg will not work)

  • Unable to install windows features on windows server 2012 core datacenter

    If I attempt to install, remove, or get windows features via powershell in windows server 2012 core datacenter I get the following error:
    PS C:\Users\BB> Invoke-Command -ComputerName CORE1 {Install-WindowsFeature Web-CertProvider}
    The given key was not present in the dictionary.
        + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Install-WindowsFeature], KeyN

        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException,
       Microsoft.Windows.ServerManager.Commands.AddWindowsFeatureCommand
        + PSComputerName        : CORE1
    I get the same error regardless of weather I use install-windowsfeature, remove-windowsfeature or get-windowsfeature. I've tried it on the server, and remotely.
    I've also tried managing the computer remotely using another windows 2012 server using the server manager GUI. That causes the server manager to crash with the following error:

    The server is running all Microsoft updates. Rebooting doesn't help. I've checked the event logs and I don't see anything relevant.
    Help!
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I would like to suggest you first run get-windowsfeature command on the core locally not remotely. And if it works, then try to remote run it.
     Invoke-Command -ComputerName CORE1 {get-WindowsFeature }

  • Windows Server 2012 The licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host server is not configured

    Hi
    I have a standard Windows Server 2012 that is hosted in the cloud by a hosting provider -
    This server has been up and running fir 6 months - recently we have been getting a warning
    "The licensing mode for the Remote Desktop Session Host server is not configured" - The Remote Desktop Session Host server is within its grace period, but the RD Session Host server has not been configured with any license server.
    Yet, we only use this with 2 connections as part of the standard licence agreement and this server is not used as a user's desktop only an ftp and web server- do therefore we do not need to purchase any cal licences (we have another server with the same
    hosting company that does not have this issue and has been up for 18months)
    Please can someone advise how I resolve this issue, the hosting company states that I must resolve it as they only host and resell the server licence
    Thank-you
    Richard Steele

    Hi Richard,
    You need to uninstall Remote desktop session host feature. After removing it, you will default two connections which does not need to purchase RD CALs'.

  • Windows Server 2012 R2. Redirecting the "All apps" part of the Modern UI

    I am building a new Remote Desktop Session Host-solution based on Windows Server 2012 R2.
    I am using the new Startcreen layout export function to define the start screen. It Works like a charm. The Next step is then to configure the "Apps" page of the Modern UI. On a similar solution based on Windows Server 2012, this was done
    by redirection the Start Menu folder within the GPO.
    But the Folder Redirection feature does not seem to Work on Windows Server 2012 R2. My "Apps" page look like this: 
    Not what I want to present for the users!
    Have you experienced this? And do you have a solution for this. I am stuck!
    Regards,
    Thomas

    Hi,
    Firstly, the screenshot is broken, would you please check it.
    Meanwhile, we can refer to this article to customize the Start Screen.
