Problem of VCB backup domain controllers
I still do research the issue, it may or may not be true, but I was wondering if anyone had a DC using VCB backup problem. iSCSI connected proxy server.
fact twice and twice (different days) I could NOT connect on two domain controllers. Event Viewer filled with the error logs related to DNS, ATN, time and many others. Restarting solves the problem.
Someone at - it experience what that be like this?
I would always advise against him. AD is a sensitive application and you should recover a domain controller virtual in the same way as a physical domain controller. Using snapshots - enabed VSS or not, is not supported by MS, and you will have problems.

I need to explain to a user a simple explanation on why this is not an effective solution for filing committed in different places trying to share a single file. The file is an excel document and the original file would be shared at 4 different locations on 4 separate domain controllers.

How to disable snapshots for domain controllers in ESXi 5? Or other best practices?
Dear all,
I need some aspects of assistance to the deactivation of snapshots for 2 VMS in my HA cluster running Active Directory to Windows 2008 R2.
I read that best practices for virtual machines running that active Directory is never for them to snapshot.
I'm worried about auto created by the systems periodically snapshots and the problem arises if a snapshot is to be reinstated by mistake.
So, what are the best practices for virtual machines running as domain controllers? To deactivate the snapshot function or other recommended methods?
Please kindly share. Thank you.

VMware has no system automatically taking portraits.
Snapshots exist either because you made them manually, an application backup created. In this case, talk with your backup vendor.

Help with the Powershell script to collect logs from all domain controllers
I am writing a script to retrieve the last 5 days of application, security and log files from all domain controllers. The script runs, but fire the logs from the local server only. The variable $Computer has all of my DC so it's the fine mark. I guess it's a problem with my line ForEach-Object, but is not error. See the below script.
$log = 'application '.
$date = get-date-format MM-DD-YYYY
$now = get-date
$subtractDays = new-object System.TimeSpan 5,0,0,0,0
$then = $Now.Subtract ($subtractDays)
$Computers = get-ADDomainController-filter *.

Problem with deleting old domain.
I use a Windows Server 2008 R2, the following errors that appear in the Active Directory Domain Services role.
Question:
The emulator operations master primary domain controller in this forest is not configured to synchronize correctly valid time of a time source.Impact:
If the master of emulator main domain controller in this forest is not configured to synchronize correctly time to a time source is valid, it can use its internal clock for the time synchronization. If the master of emulator main domain controller in this forest fails or is otherwise no longer available (and if you have not set up a time server reliable (GTIMESERV) in the domain root forest), other member computers and DCs in the forest will not be able to synchronize their time.Resolution:
Set the PDC emulator master in this forest to synchronize time with a reliable external time source. If you have not set up a reliable time server ((GTIMESERV) GTIMESERV) in the forest root domain, set the PDC emulator master in this forest to synchronize time with a hardware clock that is installed on the network (the recommended approach). You can also set the PDC emulator master in this forest to synchronize time with an external time server by running the command w32tm/config /computer:WS2008R2-DC.relianceinfotech.net /manualpeerlist:time.windows.com /syncfromflags:manual / Update. If you have set up a time server reliable (fiable (GTIMESERV) GTIMESERV) in the forest root domain, set the master of emulator main domain controller in this forest to synchronize the time from the domain hierarchy forest by w32tm/config /update /computer:WS2008R2-DC.relianceinfotech.net running domhier root.and another question
Question:
The relianceinfotech.net field is that a single domain controller works.Impact:
In case of failure on the domain only of the domain controller, users will be able to connect to the access or domain resources.Resolution:
Add one or more additional domain controllers to the domain to manage authentication and authorization requests where there is a failure on the domain controller available unique in the field.the problem is that I don't have a relianceinfotech.net this area is the last and the area in which work now is relianceti.net. I just want to know how to solve that and remove these warnings of projection.

LDAP failures between Windows 2008R2 AD domain controllers.
Is there a failure rate tolerable for LDAP queries between domain controllers? We are seeing rates of non-response (retransmit packets) between domain controllers because the port 3268 for Global catalog LDAP fails about 3% of the time. What is a rate normal or tolerated in AD?

Commissioning for lack of Exchange because of the latency in Multi Site domain controllers
Hi all
I use using the OIM 11 g R2 PS2 BP04 with AD-connector version (11.1.1.6.0 & AD 2010) and the Version of the Exchange Connector (11.1.1.6.0 & Exchange 2010) and its installed on RHEL 6.5. We have 20:00 domain controllers and each of them is in a different site. Here is the list of domain controllers:
DC-host1,DC-HOST2,DC-site2-host1,DC-SITE3-host1,DC-SITE4-host1...etc
We use automatic configuration AD access strategies and resources the user Exchange and configured as domain controllers in AD IT resource:
DC-HOST1 - primary
DC-HOST2 - secondary
AD resource provisioning works fine however when IOM tries to configure exchange to the user, its failure due to the latency issue b & w AD different Site of the domain controller. For example, "PRODTESTUSER12" is implemented successfully in AD and when IOM tries to configure exchange for this user, exchange server search for any available domain controller search for the user. It randomly selects an AD domain controller, I say DC-SITE2-HOST1 to search for the user. Since this domain contorller is on another site and it is latency, its not able to find the user of this domain controller, this is why available exchange fails for this user. See the below error:
Target class = oracle.iam.connectors.icfcommon.prov.ICProvisioningManager
< 21 may 2015 23:10:06 CEST > < error > < ORACLE. IAM. CONNECTORS. ICFCOMMON. Prov. ICPROVISIONINGMANAGER > < BEA-000000 > < oracle.iam.connectors.icfcommon.prov.ICProvisioningManager: createObject: error while creating user
java.lang.RuntimeException: the operation could not be performed because the object 'PRODTESTUSER12' could not be found on 'anc-dc2k8 - 01.wssc.ad.root'.
We have not specified this domain either under AD controller or Exchange resources.
n Connector logs, I can see below:22/05/2015-10:55:19 < INFORMATION >: class-> Org.IdentityConnectors.Exchange.RemoteRunspaceInstance-> InvokeScript method, Message-> enter the method
22/05/2015-10:55:19 < VERBOSE >: class-> Org.IdentityConnectors.Exchange.RemoteRunspaceInstance,-> InvokeScript method, Message-> Script: Set-ADServerSettings - ViewEntireForest: $true; Get-User "PRODTESTUSER21" - ReadFromDomainControllerI think, because of this script, Exchange Server recovers first of any domain controller available to search for the user. Yes, is there a way to restrict or put domain controller's favorite?
There is a hotfix available for this problem. Here are the details:

Questions about the movement of 1 of 3 ESXi4.1-ESXi5 host domain controllers.
Is this environment that I have 3 2008 R2 domain controllers.
1 physical
2 virtual
I want to turn off a virtual domain controller and move first host (ESXi 4.1) on second host (ESXi 5).
My concern is that if the NETWORK card in the guest OS is going to get dirty with or it will remain as it is.
If I remember not the mac address will indeed change (unless I hard coded it in the configuration file), but that shouldn't be a problem.
I don't know, what if a new NETWORK card will appear in OS making old useless NIC originally invited me to change the network settings. Something I don't want to have to do. I know I've seen a similar problem with a VM linux before, but don't remember seen happen in a virtual Windows machine. Just want to be sure before that I have to try.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
GregVM migration between hosts will make any changes to the NIC or MAC address. You must ensure that the required networking is presented with two hosts if you want to move between them seamlessly. If the network tag is not the same between the hosts, then you will need to change the settings of the virtual machine and use the drop down to select the appropriate network before turning on the new host. But this should be easy and quick and without surprise.
See you soon,.

Nice day. We are currently working on moving our environment all in virtualized environment. I'm working on our antisinistre/backup plan and I have a question. Do I need a domain controller from backup of our environment if we were to define the primary DC with HA?
I'm not sure that if we would need a backup domain controller if we HA because it seems to me that in the event of a failure of the virtual machine or worse still hardware failure, it would simply move the virtual machine to another part of the hardware in the cluster.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
1 HA nothing for facilities, services OS corruption situations failed or any series of related difficulties of Windows which can bring a server offline
2. when the failure of a host, all your guests on this host will restart because of the HA. This means that most of them will start before the domain controller and therefore, do not start correctly. You will also find, meanwhile, all guests on the affected host are also offline because they have no DC.
In short, a domain controller is something very easy to do a second, you would be difficult to achieve an argument not to do. A server with no other roles can run on 1 GB of RAM and use virtually no CPU.
Edit: The terms "Primary DC" and "Backup CD" crazy, as domain controllers are multi-Master. Will never be a "backup".

Hi all
We had some problems with the backup of a server SQL production last night, basically, we now have a snapshot called VCB-BACKUP.
Now, this server is in production for the last 24 hours from the backup failed, the question is should now consolidate the snapshot BACKUP VCB or delete it, if we delete data that has been changed/updated in the last 24 hours will be lost
vSphere 4
Symantec 12d
Member Server: 2008
Thank you very much.
.. .the question is should now consolidate the snapshot BACKUP VCB or delete it, if we delete data that has been changed/updated in the last 24 hours will be lost
Take a look at the parameters of the virtual machine. What vmdk edge the virtual HARD disk. I guess that's the instant '... 00000x.vmdk capture file. If yes you must consolidate the snapshot by using the "Delete" in the Snapshot Manager button.
If you are not sure, post a screenshot of the files in the folder of the virtual machine and the vmx file.

VM vs VCB Backup fault tolerance?
Hi all
I'm looking for your suggestion and advice in using the Local SATA-II empty unused for my virtual machine data store.
I have the following ESXi 4.0 build 164009 and a valid license of vSphere Essentials license, so I could use VCB, but the problem is that using NBD of the SAN in the backup server is much too slow :-| it took 55 hours to backup the whole score of VMFS 1 TB.
and now, I think that rather than using the backup solution is it possible to clone the virtual machine on the
fly to more than 2 store data such as cluster service fault tolerance? (in this case to the business data store and the)
SAN_VMFS) in case there is a failure in the SAN, the virtual machine can run the
Local data store
Kind regards
AWT
Backup VM with VCB, backup system disks together just with VCB and backup of the data with the specialized software. For example if you have Oracle - place Oracle DB on another VMDK/RDM and backup tools with Oracle via 1Gbit link.
Fault tolerance requires SAN and saves you more failure of the host only, not SAN failure.

VCB &; backup exec 12.5 w / vmware option - list of disks in disk management
Hello
I have an EMC SAN (CX3-20 and CX4-120) and I welcomed a LUN to be shared between in the backup server. Backup server has VCB, backup exec 12.5
This is a normal behavior?
1 - when I click on disk management in the computer management and then the LUNS which I shared appears as a partition 'unknown '.
2. when I right click it now allows me to delete. When I remove, it basically caused me a lot of problems on my esx environment.
My other question is:
Is it away so that I can still share this LUN so that my Backup Exec + VCB can always make backups, but this lun are not not in computer management? I'm just afraid something would go wrong and the LUNS can be accidentally deleted (which will create the biggest problem for me in my production environment)
Please find attached the screenshot.
Best,
Ahmed

Import the VCB backups in VMWare Server 2.0 Automatic
Hello
I had two questions, on which I was wondering...
The real thing, I was wondering all is if someone made a script, fixing up the release of VCB, so it is bootable from a standard VMWare Server 2?
(I think / hope someone has already made as part of an AIP or something...)
The problem is that VCB adds the path of SCSI in the VMDK-filenames, but it does not add it to the VMX file.
If these are mapped to the other the VMX or by renaming the files the VCB is bootable in Server VMW 2.
(but 'less restoreable' of VCB on the other hand...)
This would help me a lot, couse then I could put my VCB backups to an external drive and give the drive to our suppliers
then they test things in the production environment. This could easily be written, but I don't want to invent wheels all my life,
so if others have this I appreciate real...
The second thing I was wondering about is if it is the right part of the forum for these questions, or if they should go under something else...
Colombia-British
Since the change of name is always following the same convention, I do not think that it is necessary to read the VMX file.
This script deletes the prefix «scsi...» "of all the VMDK files.
$VCBfolder =
$vm = # Subfolder in directory $VCBfolder $vmPath = $VCBfolder + "\" + $vm $oldDir = (pwd).Path cd $vmPath $files = @(Get-Item -Path "*" -Filter "*.vmdk") foreach($file in $files){ $dummy = $file.Name -match "^scsi\d*-\d*-\d*-(.*\.vmdk)" Rename-Item $file.Name $matches[1] } cd $oldDir -
2 replicated domain controllers or clone 1 DCs as cold standby
Hi guys,.
I don't know if this is the right forum to ask this question or maybe someone can divert my question. Any involvement of a Windows 2008 Server cold waiting without any network connection for a period of time, tombstone question? and the reason that I asked for, it is I think to perform replication from domain controllers 2 where 1 fail and 2nd DC to support, or just to clone standby and connect the network whenever the 1 domain controller fail.
Appreciate any comment.

Remove 1 of the 3 domain controllers in a Windows environment
I have a Windows domain that has Windows 2003 and 2008 R2 servers to support workstations, SharePoint and exchange among other things. There are 3 domain controllers. The first domain controller created on window 2003 server. Later, more 2 domain controllers were added on Windows 2008 R2. During the promotion of each of the servers in DC, each of them were activated as DNS and Global catalog servers. In addition, both 2008 DHCP configuration on them were servers and one Server 2008 R2 is configured as primary and the second as the secondary. The 2003 is just a DC member. I made main hold all 5 FSMO roles and replication works as well on both servers.
I now have to demote the first Windows Server 2003, and then it must be taken out of the area. But whenever I have to run DCPromo to demote the server he kept a message that no other DC cannot be contacted, and when I try to disable the NIC in Server 2003, replication will stop automatically on the two 2008 R2.Any help please.
