• Cisco ACS and the domain controller

  Hello

  We are currently using the Cisco ACS 3.2.3.11 solution engine and using a Windows domain as a remote agent controller.

  We now have the ACS to 4.1

  1. do I need to upgrade the remote agent on the domain controller as well?

  2. any computer on the network can be used as a Distribution Server?

  3. after an initial backup and upgrade then to 3.3.3.3 I make another backup before the upgrade to 4.1?

  You can use any PC in the network as a Distribution Server.

• 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...

• To commit changes failed error after he disappeared from domain controller

  Hello

  We are unity 4.0 (3) on Windows 2000 server in a Windows 2003 with Exchange 2003 domain.

  The installer has been working perfectly until a few days ago, when the domain controller computer was rebuilt and not promoted to a domain controller. There are two other DCs on the network. Is it possible for me to the point of unity to one of them? I tried simply reboot the server to the unit with no luck.

  If I try to save changes made to a user (i.e. change their extension), I get the following message (the changes are made in any case):

  Hr = 0x8007203A error could not commit the changes

  I also see this logged event:

  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). If you want to learn more about how the feature works you can check out the video of training here:

  At the old version of adobe reader and upgrade inadvertently WAA CD player. realized that I could change is no longer with this and tried to uninstall and reinstall and older versiono, but could not. Tried to reinstall the domain controller new version and it would not, indicating that the newer Version is already installed. Nothing in programs and features.

  Looks like a job for the cleaning tool: Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat tool - Adobe Labs.

  If you prefer XI player, make sure that "Install updates automatically" is not enabled under Edit > Preferences > Updater. It is possible to download and apply patches manually.

• Conversion from a physical to a virtual domain controller domain controller

  Hello everyone!

  I was wondering if you guys can help me. We are running a physical server Proliant DL 360 Gen 8 as our physical domain controller. The host runs HP VMware 5.5 Update 1, and the domain controller running Windows Server 2012

  I am looking to convert it to a virtual DC as a backup. I would like to add it to a host computer currently running three VM. I have a few questions.

  (1) is there a way where if the physical domain controller goes down, that the virtual server is brought online automatically?

  (2) are there caveats to a physical domain controller in a virtual domain controller?

  (3) is there a step by step guide on the process of conversion from a physical to a virtual domain controller domain controller?

  (4) what should I stop all services on the physical server during the conversion?

  (5) that I would be able to take the virtual domain controller and make like a secondary domain controller?

  Thank you

  No, you misunderstood. For additional availability, you must implement a 2nd DC as a virtual machine now and leave this race. Don't bother to put something automagic, just the 2nd DC easy running.

  Backups should always be done on a regular basis, because they might be useful if two domain controllers fail for some reason any.

• How can I migrate my profile of Terminal servers from a domain controller to a 2008 R2 domain controller 2003?

  I have a 2003 DC and I install a 2008 R2 to be the new domain controller. I want to migrate the users of Services Terminal Server profile for the new 2008 R2 domain controller?

  Example:

  Services Terminal Server profile:

  Terminal Server user profile:

  Path profile = \\2003DC\profilests\username

  The Terminal Services home folder:

  Connect: H

  To: \\2003DC\home\usermane

  I would like to migrate these files to the 2008 R2 domain controller so I can turn off the domain controller 2003.

  Example:

  Services Terminal Server profile:

  Terminal Server user profile:

  Path profile = \\2008DC\profilests\username

  The Terminal Services home folder:

  Connect: H

  To: \\2008DC\home\usermane

• VMWare converter on a domain controller that you want to resize partitions?

  Hello

  I read that you are not supposed to use VMWare converter on domain controllers because the domain controller is very sensitive to changes in material ranging from physical to virtual material involved.

  In fact, I have a few DCs 2003 (virtual) Server I want to upgrade to 2008 (also virtual) DCs, but they need more disk space.  I want to use VMWare converter to increase the disk size to allow the extra space taken up by Server 2008, but I wonder if this will not work because the VMWare converter does not like domain controllers.

  Is it still the concern to use VMWare Converter to "convert" essentially a virtual machine to another virtual machine that has more disk space on the partition of the OS?  I'll have to rebuild every fresh as Server Server 2008 domain controller and then transfer the roles via?

  Thank you.

  You don't need to run the converter... stop the 2003 domain controller.  Change the virtual machine to increase the size of the disk.  Fix the VMDK on a different VM like saying 'F drive '.  It boot up... run diskpart and extend drive "F".  Shutdown... Remove the extended DC drive of the virtual machine.  Then put on the DC... here's no wobbly thing done to the domain controller.

  All this should not take more than 3 minutes and no need to enter the command line (ok, other than the 2 lines of diskpart on BACK).

• The server has not completed the compliance audit of the licenses. If the server is joined to a domain, make sure that the server can connect to a domain controller.

  Hi all

  Can I confirm with expert from Microsoft, it's windows foundation server 2012 may not be the first domain controller (which means that the first AD in the forest)? It must be attached to the root of the forest as a domain controller. If I'm promoting it to be first DC in new forest, he invites you to "the server has not completed the compliance audit of the licenses. If the server is joined to a domain, make sure that the server can connect to a domain controller. If the license compliant check cannot be completed, the server will automatically close in 9 days...

  Thank you & best regards

• 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.
