• Windows Server 2003 P2V domain controller

  I tried to understand the best way to do it.  We have a backup domain controller that is programmed to be either P2V would or recreated as a virtual machine.  Whatever it is, it's going to happen in our cluster HA.  I wonder if we can make just a P2V using the converter bootable without problems or would it not be better to organize a new virtual machine, and then go through the process of promotion and demotion.  Has anyone ran into any ING questions P2V one domain controller?  I can't really find any advice on this with the exception of a Microsoft document.  I looked on the forum and the exchange of Experts, and the general consensus seems to be, just do not do.  It is best to start from scratch.  I said why?  What happens when you P2V one domain controller?  If this isn't a secondary domain controller, so what about the PDC?  Are there unwritten rules on that?  A white paper that can be nice to look at?  Any help that anyone can give would be great.  For us, the easy way is to P2V, but if this isn't a good idea, then I guess we have the opposite effect.

• Migration of the domain controller Active Directory of windows 2000 server to a Server 2008.

  I have an old machine that is running Windows 2000 server and it's our only one domain controller in a mixed 2000/2003/2008 server environment. I would like to move to one of the servers 2008 Active Directory and make the PDC and withdraw from the old box of 2000.

  I saw a sea of documentation about the updated/move ActiveDirectory, but no clear examples of what I need to accomplish.

  Can I do a dcpromo on a 2003 server, synchronization of the 2000 box, retire the 2000 Server, then dcpromo th 2008 Server 2003 Server? I know this may seem simplistic to a complicated procedure, but I have not really found anything to support...

  A simple link to a procedure taken care of step by step would be great.

  Thanks for all the ideas in advance.

• P2V domain controller (for a test, the new virtual will not be connected to the network or used in production)

  I wanted to check that won't affect my physical domain controller by performing a P2V migration to this subject, we would like to P2V our current DC (in production) to put in our test environment, it's so we can simulate one pass from 2008 to 2012. I would just check that install VMWare converter and performing P2V migration on the active domain controller current WILL NOT affect our current physical machine.

  Can someone advise?

  DC and P2V = Don t do, since there is absolutely no guarantee that the DC P2Ved work. I had horrible experience during a migration of a data center to a new provider, the provider told us that P2V would be perfectly viable and that they had done several times. So ultimately they tested migration P2V, everything worked. Then, the day of the passage to the they did it again and AD did not come to the top. In the end we had to make a member server new rollback, as well as on the website of the provider and a classic dcpromo Setup does the job.

• Best way to integrate a snapshot of long-term in a Win2k3 domain controller

  Hi all

  It seems that one of our virtual domain controllers works as a snapshot since November 2009. I wonder how better is there to take to solve this.

  First of all, a few details:

  -We miss ESX3.5 U4 in a cluster of Server-3 (business license)

  -The "instant DC" is a Win2k3 Standard 32-bit machine

  -We have 1 other virtual DC on the network (also hosted in the cluster), and 1 physical DC/Exchange server

  -Roles FSMO transferred yesterday from "SnapShot DC" to another virtual domain controller

  -DC 'Snapshot' is our DHCP, the primary DNS (physical DC/trading machine is our auxiliary DNS server) and file server / printing, as well as a catalog server Global (are therefore 2 other domain controllers)

  -"SnapShot DC" was P2V would last summer. The person who made the conversion did not take into account any special considerations for P2Ving a controller of domain, so we found ourselves in a State of a USN restoration that we had to get Microsoft to resolve in February of this year

  I've attached a screen-cap of the folder of the server data store.

  Can you recommend the best way to solve this problem?

  Hello and welcome to the forums.

  Wait until after hours, or maybe even a weekend and remove the snapshot on this domain controller.

  Good luck!

• A virtualization domain controller error

  Hello

  I recently tried to PtoV, one of our Windows 2000 domain controllers.  This domain controller hosting the Infrastructure master FSMO role.   PtoV process seemed that it was successful.  I brought the physical domain controller, raise the server virtual and everything went well.  However, upon further research, I noticed that the NetLogon service has been suspended.  I managed to restart the service, and it has started successfully.

  The main problem is that I noticed that there is an error in replication now with our other physical domain controllers.  The error is below to:

  The following error occurred during an attempt to synchronize the domain controllers: the destination server rejects currently replication requests.

  Everyone knows about this problem before?  This happens all in trying to replicate from this domain controller virtual at ALL physical domain controllers.  I searched some knowledge bases and could not find anything that would relate to my environment.

  Thank you

  Marc

  Its best just to build a new DC on virtual material, promote and then out to the former.  If you do a p2v then transfer the roles first off and do a migration cold offline by using the bootable CD converter.

• Questions, communicate with a Windows domain controller

  I thought at first my user had a problem with Keychain and had finally called Apple Tech Support.  While on the line with Apple, we proved that it was not a question of Keychain, but rather a problem of communication with a windows domain controller. The key elements are:

  * Multiple users and Macs are members of an Active Directory multi-domain forest

  * iMac is a 27-inch, mid-2011w / 8 GB RAM

  * OS X 10.11.2 (updated 10.11.3)

  * Question appears isolated to this iMac (currently). All other iMac, Macbook Pro and Mac Pro is currently very well, several VIRTUAL LANs, and a MacBook connected to the connection of network iMacs can communicate properly with the domain.

  * iMac seems not to contact no matter what domain controller when connecting, but connects to the resources of the network and domain controllers, after login. Permissions and access to the resources appear normal after login.

  * User (s) cannot change passwords for mobile accounts or login with new mobile accounts, but accounts/passwords cached work very well.

  * iMac uses Symantec EndPoint Protection for Mac (anti-virus) – REQUIRED BY THE POLICY.  I can't change.  I have come off for the test, but must replace as soon as the test is completed. This policy is set at a level about five grades of remuneration above me.

  * It isn't really everything off the coast of the wall software installs on the computer.  The full Adobe Creative Cloud subscription is responsible, but so it is on just about every other mac I support.

  The steps that have taken place:

  (1) about a month ago, the user went to change his password, but wouldn't go to change password at the login window.  We were able to change their password on the network and could use the new password to connect to the network Active Directory controlled resources. We can connect to resources network successfully with the new password, after we connect locally with the old password.

  (2) we get the red ball (the network resources are not available) to the login window. We are basically connecting with identification and passwords cached information.

  (3) if we try to change their password through the system preferences / users and groups / / password Chang, we get the message that no domain controller is available.

  (4) initially thought that it was a matter of trousseau, and we ended up calling Apple support, since Keychain first aid is no longer available in 10.11. Apple-Advisor while that remote, showed where it was not a question of Keychain because we could not change the password on the domain, because the iMac didn't communicate with a domain controller.

  (5) while on the phone with Apple, we reset SMC and NVRAM without success.

  (6) If you are going to untie the iMac in the domain, a message that the system cannot communicate with a domain controller.

  (7) today, thinking that maybe there was a hardware problem with the ethernet connection, tried to use the private WiFi network. Still would not communicate with a controller domain, but, as if using the wired, could connect to network resources. This happens independently attempted account.

  (8) used a MacBook on its network without any problem, it is not the connection port or switch

  (9) moved his iMac to another connection on one VLAN different. Same question.

  I'm open to suggestions. I have two days to work on this subject, around the planning of production of the user, while I'm off site for a week.

  10) thinking that maybe it was something that happened with 10.11.2, he improved to 10.11.3 today. No change.

  I don't want to try to clean and recharge its iMac, in the hope that this clears up the issue.

  ANY SUGGESTIONS?

  A few additional tests.

  (1) Symantec deleted using Symantec CleanWipe, without modification. Has been reinstalled after additional tests and a reinstallation of the operating system.

  (2) being ran reports, visualization and research now, but nothing is really coming out as noticeable. Only problem seems to be a helper of Adobe

  (3) use a bootable USB key and had no problem with the thumb drive version, this isn't somehow a hardware problem.

  4) entered the recovery partition and the re-installed El Capitan, in the hope that perhaps, is a pilot or something in the protocol stacks have been corrupt, a reinstall would correct. Reinstall has not corrected the problem.

  I'm really strongly leaning towards here is something in a plist or somewhere configuration file that is corrupted, but I don't know where this would be right now.  Will continue research and testing. Last resort will be a wipe up to bare metal and a clean install. I will not migrate the profile of the user, but only its working files.

• 2012 R2 in Windows domain controller goes to three options when you restart in hyper-v, but cannot boot from any option

  After that creating a differencing disk (Windows 2012 R2 MSDN) that points to a virtual hard drive in windows that was Sysprep, I went through all the measures to promote a domain controller, but then I get 3 options, one to stop and connect to DC, two to repair, and three to stop this PC, the virtual machine does not restart to something else than these three options. I have also set up the IP address to be in the same subnet as the host gave the DNS the same thing as the vm and can ping a Web site ok, but cannot get the malicious windows package to get from windows update then nothing else before I did this PC a 2013 R2 domain controller.

  Any help would be gladly appreciated, as I did the same for 2008 a few years ago, no problem - learn everything MS 2013 if all goes well soon on this...

• Windows 2003 domain controller

  Hi Expert,

  Since a few days my business met the internet problem. All the PC and server connected to the DC not able to go online. After a few minute 15-20 minute network is automatically recovered and able to go online. I checked with ISP they confirmed no question about they site. Our main installed dns on the PDC as well. Can one confirmed no matter what happens on the domain controller may cause the network problem in devices that connected to the domain controller?

• Windows server 2008 r2 domain controller deletes printers on windows 2003 Server

  We have recently installed two new Windows Server 2008 R2 servers in our field.  one of the new servers is the new domain controller (successor of Windows Server 2003 SBS, which has been decommissioned).  There are two other Windows 2003 servers in the domain.  When we turn off all servers for maintenance and then power them back on, the print on the windows 2003 Server spooler crashes; printers are deleted and the server does not allow you to add printers.  is this be caused by some settings in windows server 2008 r2?  This happened twice, and the solution is to rub the print on the windows 2003 Server spooler and reinstall the printers from scratch.

• A domain controller can support several domains?

  We have two companies that will merge all of their IT infrastructure.  Currently, each company has its own domain.  I'm trying to find out whether or not a single domain controller can support both networks/domains, or if we will have to manage two separate domain controllers.

  One of the companies has a Windows 2003 server, the other has a Windows SBS server.

  In 4.0 (4), the unit is automatically a new DC/GC and resynchronizing with her. It is possible to change the domain controller in the registry, but my recommendation would be to upgrade to 4.0 (4).

• Cannot connect to the local file and print when the domain controller is not available because the network connection

  Hi all
  Having problems for local users, connection to a file and print server in one of my satellite offices.
  When my t1 connection is disrupted (problem of local carrier) my users when the connection is down to connect to the file room and print and always have access to their files and the local printer.
  The domain controller is off site in my main office.
  Environment:
  All local desktop clients are windows machines 7.
  Printing and local file is a windows 2003 server.
  DC is window 2008
  Note that we recently changed all 2003 to all domain controllers the PDC 2008, suspect that it may cause the problem, but just cannot know where it track.
  Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.
  Thank you
