Hey all,
Happy Friday!
I have a question regarding avma, currently I have two hyper-v hosts, each running Server 2016 datacenter edition. I am researching avma, I have some VM's and I did all manual activations using the same product key as my hosts since I have unlimited VM licensing.
I am looking into setting up avma, I check my system in device manager and do not have any hyper-v activation management driver/device listed. On my hosts, data exchange is checked off as well. AM I missing something here?
I`m scratching my head on an issue here.
We had a DC that had issues replicating the domain and we had to demote and promote it back to get the replication to work.
dcpromo went fine during the demote, metadata cleanup showed nothing related to the old server. All good. Dcpromo it back, not a single issue, replication works as intended and everything is as it should be, except for one thing. It is not updating the msdcs zone in DNS for service roles.
When running nltest /dsregdns the command passes and says success, however nothing gets updated. dcdiag /fix does nothing, repadmin shows all replication works.
I can add manually the records and do a dcdiag and everything comes up fine, however I would like to understand why the records didnt get created automatically. We had brought up another DC a month ago and that one registered in 30...
Hello,
I am the domain administrator for a network that is running 2008 R2 and Windows 7 professional. It is a small network with around 50 users and 30 workstations. It has only one Domain Controller.
I have recently discovered that if RSAT is installed on a standard workstation a standard Domain User account with no admin privileges is able to delete other User Objects in ADUC.
They are unable to delete domain admin accounts or computer objects.
The reason RSAT needs to be installed on a standard workstation is for delegated password reset for a certain OU of users (this has not been delegated yet).
I have inherited this network from a previous Domain Administrator and I'm struggling to find that the cause of this is.
I have recreated the network in a test environment and Domain Users are not able to delete anything in ADUC.
Has anyone had...
As you may or may not have seen I have been working in IIS, and I know little about IIS lol.
I have one site running on a public IP which works except for http redirection, but I also have an internal only site that I need to get working.
At the moment the site works on port 83 via internal IP:83/page and Localhost:83/page
I need to be able to access this via an actual address, such as https://site.domain.com/page.
I have a wildcard SSL cert which I have imported and added the host name to the https binding, but when I try and access the site it just errors.
Is what I am trying to do possible?
Using 8450 MDT / Windows 1709 / ADK 16299 (1709) / Server 2012 R2
First I was running into an issue where I would deploy a vanilla image and after it got to the desktop, the process would start all over again. The MDT screen would pop up on the desktop and ask me to select a sequence. I figured out that issue and all I needed to do was replace the boot images on WDS, Now clean images are sending fine without any issues.
New problem: The image is all setup and ready to go. I sysprep the image and shut the machine down. Press F12, Load into my PXE server, and select the capture TS. Pick where the WIM will be stored / enter credentials/ ETC...
The Process kicks off and does a reboot before it starts to capture the WIM. When the machine reboots, it never captures the WIM. It starts to load Windows like it's being setup for the first time.
Now...
Got a new issue that cropped up that I've been researching the last couple days and not getting too far. This particular server runs WSUS and Veeam. All of a sudden it stopped installing security updates but other updates install fine. Here's the current list that are failing.
What happens is I install them and everything seems to go fine until the reboot. Once it restarts the update fails and Windows will revert changes.
So far, I checked other 2012 servers on our network and they are installing fine. I did a disk check on the C drive and some errors were found and repairs. I also performed a optimizing of the drives.
Lastly, I rebuilt the software distribution folder in case there was any corruption present. Event viewer shows that the updates failed but not much else.
Couple events in the Event Viewer that may be related:

We want to be able to audit when users access our Microsoft Remote App server (Windows Server 2012 R2) so we can figure out who's using our remote apps, when they're using them, etc. I know we have something enabled because I was able to run a PS script to pull a CSV of remote logon/logoff events, but it only went back a few weeks, and I wanted to go back to Jan 1, so now I'm wondering how one would configure the auditing policy to set a longer period to keep those log files longer than it is now. I know that extending the time we keep them won't retroactively pull logs from earlier than we have them now, but I want to prepare for the future.
Hello, I hope you can help me with this!
The certificate for the NAP server (which is used for the employee wifi policy) expired a month ago. . I replaced it with a new one by creating a self signed certificate on that server. I pushed that certificate out to all domain computers by GPO.
Once a some people report loss of wireless connectivity and when they try to connect, it does not allow them.
When I go to the MMC Certificates on their laptop, I see that the old Certificate is back (expired Jan/2018) and the new one is nowhere to be seen (expires Jan. 2019). So what I have to do is connect them to the network via Cat5 and then force a GPUpdate. Then the new certificate gets pushed out again. The thing is that is a never ending cycle. This happens once a week, even to my laptop.
The old certificates where deleted from the GPO. When I did...
I have a VM running Server 2008 R2 and it has the NPS and Cert Authority roles installed.
I have followed steps on backing up both CA role configuration and the NPS configuration, but I am worried about "certificates" specifically.
I'm going to be standing up a new VM running Server 2016 and it will have these roles on it and it will have the same name and IP as the previous system.
So my worry is that all the wifi clients and maybe even domain controllers (there are certs showing in the "issued certificates" section in the CA snap in that are to domain controllers) will have huge problems when I am done.
I tried to export the certificate that NPS is using from the personal store of the current server but it tells me that it is "marked for non export" so I can not get the private key itself.
When I backed up the CA role config, it did...
Security Event ID 4626, Security ID field will change to reflect current setting, even prior to the change? I'm at a loss and don't know if this is possible or am I looking at this all wrong?
Hi,
I have a folder called "departments" and within that folder is the list of departments, I would like to allow "everyone" to go into departments and see the list, but not enter a department folder unless they are part of the group that allows them into that folder. This seems like a simple concept but I'm having trouble getting it to work. The current permissions on "departments" is that "everyone" has access to "list folder contents", "read and execute" and "read", but my underprivileged user that is part of no groups goes into "departments" and it's empty. How do I fix this?
How do you add the extra information at login on the domain computers? i think that it could be a GPO because when you log in to the servers you see instead of the "welcome" legend and the spinning animation something like "applying assigned software c++..."
Hi,
Hope this is the correct forum for this question. I have a Windows 2008R2 server, a Domain Controller, running VAMT 2.0 and it is working fine.
I'm replicating that server to a cloud provider for Disaster Recovery purposes and I'm trying to test it. What I've found is that, in the cloud, my Microsoft Office 2010, KMSHost edition has gone Unlicensed with a status of Invalid Class.
Any suggestions on how to correct this? Why would it work in the live environment but not in the cloud? To the best of knowledge we have the firewall configured and I'm able to get to the Internet on that server. What else is necessary for VAMT to license a KMS file?
Thanks in advance,
Linn
This is on a Hyper-V server. I have no idea how this happened.. It's not even on the C drive. I thought it might have to do with the smart page filing for the VMs, so I made sure to move all the smart page files to a different drive using the command
but it didn't seem to change anything. I need to remove the drive so it can be used elsewhere.
Hi All , I have setup and domain controller in VM test.local and later on I added an other domain controller and promoted that as addition domain controller with Global Catalogue and DNS server.Now If I shutdown DC ,I can't login to ADC ,I have changed the DNS as well but problem continues ,Any idea ?
Hi!
I have a problem with a DFS migration to new domainB and remove DFS.
I have 2 domain:
domainA.local (old, to dismiss)
domainB.local (new)
domainA and domainB is trusted.
In to domainA it's installed an server (srvfile.domainA.local) with DFS role. The path to access to the files (over old domain) is \\domainA\folder...
I would migrate DFS files to new server (srvfileserver.domainB.local) in domainB without reinstall DFS in new server, I prefer use smb share base.
After migrating all file i would rename srvfileserver.domainB.local to domainA.domainB.local, because the new share it's access from \\domainA or \\domainA.domainB.local from domainB.
The results it's impossibile to rename because receive an error with descriptions is: the name is already used.
In two AD is not present object called "domainA".
I tried to add DNS record A...

Hi folks,
I am currently migrating an environment from 2K3 SP2 to 2K12 (although it may need to be 2K8).
There are three types of environments in this solution, web server, app server and query server (web is tomcat 5.5), so probably some compatibility concerns here. Can anyone suggest a best path for an in place upgrade or simple new environment? I believe Tomcat 5.5 May only be compatible with 2K8 SP2 32 bit?
Thanks
