    Second scenario:-
    If user exists then I need to remove the user membership from the perticular group.I want to do it in automation
    Manual Path:-
    1.Type dsa.msc in run command of IT session(we using it to connect remote desktop).
    2. Select the domain & right click (EX:-corp.ds.xxyyzz.com) and select "Find" to find the user form the domain.

  • Use Windows Server 2003 or 2008 with BootCamp?Just want to run basic things

    Hey, well I can get a copy of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and 2008 with the DreamSpark program (as I am in college) for free. But my question is, is this a good idea to use with my MacBook Pro? I wasn't sure how well it'd work with Boot Camp, and all I'd want is to just run basic programs and/or games.
    Is it a good idea? And does anyone have tutorials for how to install it?

    Hi,
    Windows Server 2003 and XP 64-bit share the same codebase and XP-64bit is not supported with BootCamp.
    Windows Server 2008 and Vista 64-bit share the same codebase and Vista 64-bit is only supported with BootCamp on some Macs. See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
    For running 'basic' things with the Server versions, why not use one of the Virtualization apps like Parallels, VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox ?
    http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/
    http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/
    http://www.virtualbox.org/
    VirtualBox is open-source, so you don't have to pay for it.

  • Remote desktop connection limit in windows 2003 administration as well as in the mixed environment of windows 2003 and 2008 servers

    RDP protocol i.e. Remote desktop connection is configured to perfrom and manage  software administration of ORACLE application and database servers which runs on windows 2003 server.   Two sessions are allowed on each of these servers for database
    administrators. The question is: 
    a) if network administrators who perform window server administration (50+) are included in
    2 sessions limit or do they manage all these servers through Console Session which is separate from the remote desktop connection limits of 2 sessions.  
    b) How is the 2 sessions  limit prescribed by microsoft (more of a licensing limit) handled in the mix environment of windows 2003 and 2008 server where all these servers are managed on the VMWARE?
    avnish sharma

    Hi Avnish,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    By default any windows server will provide 2 remote session for administration purpose only. No matter which administrator is accessing that server. If you will connect the console session then 3.One server is accessed by 3 Session (console + Remote +
    Remote). When the particular server reached this limit then any working administrator will receive a message to log out as other user trying to access the session or if we had provided the setting then new user is restricted to login.
    If you want more than 2 remote desktop session than you need to purchase TS\RDS CAL, install TS\RD Licensing role, activate it first and then configure CAL on it. There are 2 types of CAL available (USER & DEVICE). You can purchase CAL according to your
    company requirements.
    Hope it helps to understand!
    Thanks.

  • How do I add a Mac to a Windows Server 2003 or 2008 domain?

    I recently started working for a public school district that runs Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 R2. There are several faculty members, myself included, that would like to get their Macs onto the domain and capable of file sharing, printing to network printers, etc. I cannot find decent instructions anywhere. Could someone please point me in the right direction or give me some directions? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    I'm also new to the MAC world - I trust you were able to join the MAC's to the domain - I finally figured it out. However, I have not been able to get the MAC's to save to the Windows 2008 server where I have student folders setup. Have you been able to do this? If so can share the info with us.
    Thanks,

  • How to migrate windows server 2003 to 2008 live server

    How to migrate windows server 2003 to 2008 live server without shutdown could anyone explain me ?
    Thanks & Regards, Amol . Amol Dhaygude

    I don't think you can do it without a shutdown. This also depends on the types of services, roles etc hosted on the server.

  • Crystal 8 Web Component Server ond Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6

    I am trying to get Crystal 8 Web Component and Page Server to run on Windows 2003 Server with IIS 6. I have done the following:
    Added the .cri and .rpt ISAPI extension mappings
    Have Cache ISAPI extentions selected
    Deselected "verify that file exists"
    Aded the .cri and .rpt MIME types
    Added wcsinsapi.dll as a IIS 6.0 extension
    The above resolved all HTTP 40x.x errors but when trying to access a report from IE I receive the following error:
    Error: Could not connect to the Web Component Server.
    The page server and web component server services are running and I do see the listen ports (6401, 6403) active.
    I know this is old software but it works quite well under a Windows 2000 Server and other web postings indicate that it is possible to run Crystal 8 under WS2003 and IIS 6.
    Does any one know of a white paper/support document that details how to run Crystal 8 under Windows Server 2003 and IIS 6?
    Has any one done this successfully?
    Any tips as to cause of the "Could Not Connect" problem would be greatly appreciated.

    Well as it turns out it looks like it was just this server.
    We tried everything, and I added those user accounts to full
    permission for the Coldfusion folders and we just could not get it
    to work. We tried it on another couple servers running 2003, and it
    installed perfectly right out of the box with no other permissions
    needed. And those servers were all running default configs with no
    other permissions done.
    We still have no idea what was the problem, but at least for
    now it seems to be this server. But I will tell you what, that II6
    stuff seems to be a bit of a pain, we had major problems installing
    new version of PHP with it too. Oh well, good luck to you
    too!

  • Out of memory using Windows Server 2003 and Oracle 9.2.0.3

    Hi,
    I just installed both Windows Server 2003 and Oracle 9.2.0.3. The server I am using has 4 gigabytes of memory installed, and windows shows that to be the actual physical memory on the server. The paging file is 8 gigabytes for a total of 12 gigabytes of virtual memory.
    Using the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant, I create a new database using default values. After verifying the installation worked OK (database started, queries ran), I attempted to change some of the memory parameters and was able to start the database using about 1.4 gigabytes of total SGA, with the O/S using about .3 gigabytes for a total of 1.7 gigabytes. I then attempted to change the buffer cache + 1 gigabyte for a total of 2 gigabytes. Now the database will not start and I get an out of memory error ora-27102 with an additional O/S memory error of "O/S Error: (OS 8) Not enough storage is available to process this command".
    So, I have two problems:
    1) With 4 gigabytes installed, and the O/S using only about 300 megabytes, why isn't Oracle able to take advantage of the memory on this machine past the 1.7 gigabytes (as reported by Windows task manager).
    2) How do I change the spfile memory parameters so the database will start using spfile? I can start the database pointing to a pfile with lesser memory parameters, but I don't know how to effect change on the spfile, since I cannot start with the spfile.
    Both these technologies (9.2.0.3 and Server 2003) are new to me, so any insight would be appreciated!
    HERE ARE THE SPFILE PARAMETERS THAT WORKED:
    SGA (M)
    Shared Pool=104
    Buffer Cache=960 ***
    Large Pool=0
    Java Pool=64
    Total SGA=1128
    SGA Max Size=1321
    Aggregate PGA Target=1500
    Current PGA Allocated=22868KB
    WINDOWS MEMORY INFO FROM TASK MANAGER SHOW:
    PF Usage=1.66GB
    Physical Memory (K)
    Total=4062704
    Available=3203460
    System Cache=2499096
    Commit Charge (K)
    Total=1748184
    Limit=12288628
    Peak=1925276
    *** When I change this to 2048 the database did not start.
    Thank you.

    CREATE SPFILE
    Purpose
    Use the CREATE SPFILE statement to create a server parameter file from a client-side initialization parameter file. Server parameter files are binary files that exist only on the server and are called from client locations to start up the database.
    Server parameter files let you make persistent changes to individual parameters. When you use a server parameter file, you can specify in an ALTER SYSTEM SET parameter statement that the new parameter value should be persistent. This means that the new value applies not only in the current instance, but also to any instances that are started up subsequently. Traditional client-side parameter files do not let you make persistent changes to parameter values. Because they are located on the server, these files allow for automatic database tuning by Oracle and for backup by Recovery Manager (RMAN).
    To use a server parameter file when starting up the database, you must create it from a traditional text initialization parameter file using the CREATE SPFILE statement.
    All instances in an Real Application Clusters environment must use the same server parameter file. However, when otherwise permitted, individual instances can have different settings of the same parameter within this one file. Instance-specific parameter definitions are specified as SID.parameter = value, where SID is the instance identifier.
    The method of starting up the database with a server parameter file depends on whether you create a default or nondefault server parameter file. Please refer to "Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples" for examples of how to use server parameter files.
    See Also:
    CREATE PFILE for information on creating a regular text parameter file from a binary server parameter file
    Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide for information on pre-Oracle9i initialization parameter files and Oracle9i server parameter files
    Oracle9i Real Application Clusters Administration for information on using server parameter files in a Real Application Clusters environment
    Prerequisites
    You must have the SYSDBA or the SYSOPER system privilege to execute this statement. You can execute this statement before or after instance startup. However, if you have already started an instance using spfile_name, you cannot specify the same spfile_name in this statement.
    Syntax
    create_spfile::=
    Text description of create_spfile
    Semantics
    spfile_name
    This clause lets you specify a name for the server parameter file you are creating.
    If you do not specify spfile_name, Oracle uses the platform-specific default server parameter filename. If spfile_name already exists on the server, this statement will overwrite it. When using a default server parameter file, you start up the database without referring to the file by name.
    If you do specify spfile_name, you are creating a nondefault server parameter file. In this case, to start up the database, you must first create a single-line traditional parameter file that points to the server parameter file, and then name the single-line file in your STARTUP command.
    See Also:
    "Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples" for information on starting up the database with default and nondefault server parameter files
    Oracle9i Database Administrator's Guide for Windows (or other appropriate operating system specific documentation) for default parameter file names
    pfile_name
    Specify the traditional initialization parameter file from which you want to create a server parameter file.
    If you specify pfile_name, the parameter file must reside on the server. If it does not reside in the default directory for parameter files on your operating system, you must specify the full path.
    If you do not specify pfile_name, Oracle looks in the default directory for parameter files on your operating system for the default parameter filename, and uses that file. If that file does not exist in the expected directory, Oracle returns an error.
    Note:
    In a Real Application Clusters environment, you must first combine all instance parameter files into one file before specifying it in this statement to create a server parameter file. For information on accomplishing this step, see Oracle9i Real Application Clusters Setup and Configuration.
    Examples
    Creating a Server Parameter File: Examples
    The following example creates a default server parameter file from a client initialization parameter file named t_init1.ora:
    CREATE SPFILE
    FROM PFILE = '$ORACLE_HOME/work/t_init1.ora';
    Note:
    Typically you will need to specify the full path and filename for parameter files on your operating system. Please refer to your Oracle operating system documentation for path information.
    When you create a default server parameter file, you subsequently start up the database using that server parameter file by using the SQL*Plus command STARTUP without the PFILE parameter, as follows:
    STARTUP
    The following example creates a nondefault server parameter file s_params.ora from a client initialization file named t_init1.ora:
    CREATE SPFILE = 's_params.ora'
    FROM PFILE = '$ORACLE_HOME/work/t_init1.ora';
    When you create a nondefault server parameter file, you subsequently start up the database by first creating a traditional parameter file containing the following single line:
    spfile = 's_params.ora'
    The name of this parameter file must comply with the naming conventions of your operating system. You then use the single-line parameter file in the STARTUP command. The following example shows how to start up the database, assuming that the single-line parameter file is named new_param.ora:
    STARTUP PFILE=new_param.ora

  • Password Policy - Mixed servers 2003 and 2008

    I Need help!!!!
    So this is my situation. I'm trying to enforce a Company Wide Password Policy via GPO but running into problems. We have no current Password Policy in place (This is the only one). I'm attempting to use the default global policy in Server 2008 and I'm
    testing the GPO on a specific security group, but does not seem to work. It will prompt to change the password, but the other requirements aren't being enforced.
    This is what I'm trying to enforce.
    Expire after: 90 days
    Complexity: Enabled
    Cant reuse last: 12 password
    Lockout time: 15 minutes
    Lock out after: 5 attempts
    Minimum of :8 characters
    Infrastructure: We have a mix of 2003 and 2008 servers. I'm using our 2008 server to enforce the GPO.
    Once I apply the GPO to a specific security group, it will prompt to change the password for the users in that group, but will not enforce all the other policies. This is a major project and we cant deploy this policy all at once (Helpdesk wouldn't
    be able to handle the call volume) so we decided to deploy it by departments/Security groups. We also tried
    We also tried using a fine-grained password policy but just like the GPO, it was only enforcing the password change aspect and not the other requirements like a minimum of 8 characters. Can any help!!!!

    > What if I apply the GPO on the domain root level, and then in the
    > delegation tab, exclude certain groups until we are ready for it to
    > apply to that department?   Will hat work?
    No. Read again - in 2003, there is ONE password policy for the DOMAIN,
    not for individual accounts.
    Technically this works the following way: Password policies are picked
    up by every member computer. But on these, password policies only apply
    to LOCAL accounts, not to domain accounts.
    On the other hand, there are Domain Controllers. The PDC emulator is the
    only one of these that will pick up Password policies - and only if they
    are linked to the domain. And so, these apply to all "local" accounts on
    the PDC, which in fact are the domain accounts.

  • SAP Server upgrade from Windows 2003 and 2008 R2 with Oracle Database

    Hi,
    We need to upgrade upgrade our Windows servers that are running our SAP systems from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2.  We are using Microsoft Clustering for HA so an inplace upgrade seems not possible.
    Someone has suggested to us that we will need to export our database and reimport it to achieve this upgrade however but I cannot understand why this would be necessary (we are not changing the underlying filesystem!).
    Could someone please confirm whether a database export and import is required for this OS upgrade scenario?  I have done a bit of research but nothing has jumped out and now I need an answer to this quickly.
    We are running
    - ERP 6.0 NW 7.01 (soon to be 7.02 with ABAP stack only)
    - XI(PI) Java & ABAP
    - SRM (Java & ABAP)
    - Portal (Java only)
    - PLM (Java & ABAP)
    - BW (BI 7.0) (Java and ABAP)
    Thank You
    Felicity

    Hello,
    You need to go for 'Homogeneous System Copy' to achieve this, but since almost all the systems in your landscape include the Java Stack as well - so the system copy with Export/Import is to be carried out.
    Even if you are not going for file system change, but it is a Windows environment and you can't put SAP up on the target Windows (windows 2008 R2) just by copying the contents and file system from source to target. You need SAPinst to create the registry and all. - On top of that you have Java stacks involved, so for java stack you can't carry out just backup/restore method to put SAP up there on target - so you need Export/import because for java stack some OS level dump is to be collected during system copy from source and it needs to be imported on target OS.
    Are you clear on this one ?
    Read system copy guide once and Search in OSS for the Notes to check how to upgrade from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2.
    Thanks

  • Windows Server 2003 and problem with SSL connection (TLS)

    Hi,
    We are forcing a problem with SLL/TLS connection on a machine Windows Server 2003 SP2.
    We spent hours trying to solve it without any result. 
    SYMPTOMS
    No SSL connection can be established in any application since last year, e.g.:
    we cannot do any windows update, because there is a time verification over SSL on the windows update website (there is an error that the time is incorrect while it is up-to-date)
    we cannot open any website in Internet Explorer over https
    when we try to connect to the SQL Server (database SQL 2008 hosted on the same server) with Management Studio it fails with an error: "A connection
    was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake.(provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - Could not
    contact LSA)(Microsoft SQL Server)"
    in a custom applications which sends requests over https we receive an error: "Could not establish trust relationship for SSL/TLS secure channel"
    Everything seems to point at some SSL problem somewhere deep inside Windows.
    We installed several patches, but without any result. 
    Can anybody help?
    Regards,
    Dawid

    Hi, thanks for answers,
    - In IE both SSL2.0 and TLS1.0 are checked. We tried to disable TLS1.0 - with no results. 
    - In  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\Schannel both SSL2.0
    and TLS1.0 are enabled. We also tried to dislable TLS1.0 on the Client side - with no resuts. 
    - In
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL EventLogging is set to 3, so it should log warnings
    and errors. But we cannot find any related logs in EventLog
    Unfortunately we are still in the same place.

  • New 2012 server in a mixed 2003 and 2008 domain (in process of upgrading)

    We are replacing a Windows Server 2003 machine which crashed and is gone, with a Windows Server 2012 Standard machine.  The old 2003 Server was a domain controller running along side one other 2003 server (which is getting replaced next) and
    3  Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard x64 domain controllers which up and running.  When trying to add the Windows Server 2012 Standard server as a domain controller to an existing domain, we are getting the following error:
    Verification of replica failed.  The forest functional level is Windows 2000.  To install a Windows Server 2012 domain or domain controller, the forest functional level must be at Windows Server 2003 or higher.
    However, the domain was already brought up to at least the 2003 level when we added the current live 2008 domain controller (Windows Server 2008) several years ago.  When I now try to run Adprep on the Windows Server 2008 (adprep from the 2008
    install CD) I get the following responses:
    Command:  adprep /forestprep
    Response:  Forest-wide information has already been updated.  [Status/Consequence] Adprep did not attempt to rerun this operation.
    Command:  adprep /domainprep /gpprep
    Response:  Domain-wide information has already been updated.  [Status/Consequence] Adprep did not attempt to rerun this operation.
    I have gone to Active Directory Domains and Trusts on all of the other servers and each one is at a Windows Server 2003 Functional level and states that I can not raise the level because I have AD Dc's that are not running the appropriate version of
    windows. And I get that due to the remaining 2003 server, but none are at Server 2000 level.
    So it seems we have a conflict where the 2012 server thinks the domain is at the Windows 2000 level. Is there any way around this, or a way to find out where the conflict is coming from?
    Thank you
    Kevin C

    Please proceed like the following:
    Run netdom query fsmo to identify the current FSMO holders. It seems that the old DC was holding FSMO roles. If this is the case then seize them to another DC: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/255504
    Do a metadata cleanup to remove the old DC reference: Use dsa.msc
    and then remove the old DC computer account. Also, use dssite.msc
    and remove the NTDS settings of the old DC then remove its references over there
    After doing this, check again and try to raise the DFL and FFL. Do not forget to check that your DCs and AD replication are in healthy state using
    dcdiag and repadmin commands.

  • Zone transfer between 2003 and 2008

    Hi I am new in windows servers and I am studying about it , While doing practical of DNS, I am unable to transfer dns zones from  server 2008 to server 2003. Server 2008 has installed AD and DNS, 2003 server also have installed DNS but it is just
    connected to 2008 and its not part of domain.
    Is it important to make secondary or additional domain controller to 2003 server  of 2008 sever before transferring dns zones?

    Hi,
    According to your description, it seems that it is an AD-integrated zone.
    An AD Integrated is stored in the AD database, and the zone will replicate to other domain controllers within the same replication scope automatically as part of the
    AD replication process. By default, AD integrated zones are configured to not allow zone transfers. Allowing zone transfers is an option provided to support non-DC DNS servers, BIND or any other name brand DNS server that you want to allow zone transfers to
    a secondary on those servers.
    In your case, if you want to make the Windows Server 2003 as an additional DC, then zone transfer is not needed. If not, you can configure zone transfer and add the
    IP address of the Windows Server 2003 to the zone transfer tab in the properties of the zone in DNS console.
    Best regards,
    Susie

    Looks like you'll need to clean install it.
    From the following versions of Windows Server 2003, there are no supported upgrades:Windows Server 2003 Web Server Edition SP2 and Windows Server 2003 Web Server SP1

  • Upgrade from Windows Server 2003 to 2008

    Hi Experts,
    We are currently running SAP BPC v 7.0 for Microsoft in a Windows Server 2003 environment. This is not a production application right now as we are doing discovery work in SAP BPC 7.0. For another project, we need to upgrade to windows server 2008.
    We are trying to figure out if the SAP BPC will still work after the upgrade. I know SAP BPC is compatible with Server 2008, but do we need to start of a fresh installation or the upgrade will work. We are trying to figure out if we should plan some time to reinstall SAP BPC and re-do the work we have done in BPC once it has been upgraded.
    Thanks a lot!
    Martin

    At this point, BPC 7.0 for Microsoft is not certified for Windows 2008.  So, if you prepare and execute the upgrade to the server OS, support may not assist if you find any issues.  We plan to be certified on Windows 2008 with the next release of 7.5 for BPC.
    Hope this helps.
