Server Manager 2012 losing servers

$
0
0

Hi,

I have a problem with Server Manager 2012 and roaming profiles.  I have a RDS deployment containing around 9 servers: several TS (RDS) boxes, and the associated infrastructure (connection broker, web access, SQL etc).  Roaming profiles are also enabled in the environment for all users, including administrators.

If I add all the servers into Server Manager on one computer, say TS01, it all looks fine.  If I log out of that box and back in again on the same server everything is still OK.  However, if I then log off that server and into another, say TS02, I find that TS01 is missing from server manager.  If I then re-add it, log off, then log into another server, say TS03, I find that TS02 is then missing.

It seems that whichever server I was last logged onto goes missing when I log onto another server.  My understanding is that Server Manager should work fine with roaming profiles (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/hh831456.aspx).  I can get around the problem by always logging into the same server for administration but it's sometimes necessary to perform tasks from another server.

Any thoughts please?

Many thanks.

Matt

CLR20r3/MMC/%systemroot%/DNS Failure/Installer Failure

$
0
0

Before you redirect me to another post regarding this topic (especially concerning CLR20r3), I have scoured the internet, trying every conceivable option at my disposal. This is a big post (in terms of the problems I'm having), so thank you in advance for your input.

THE RUNDOWN:
So this was a 2008r2 server in-place upgraded to a 2012r2 server. I am having the following issues (which did not exist in 2008r2):

1) CLR20r3 when booting servermanager.exe  

2) I cannot load in MMC snap-ins....for basically anything. This means I can't get into the logs mmc to view whats going on.

3) I cannot install programs on this machine. Some suggestions have proposed installing new chipset/graphics drivers, the only problem is that I think there is some permissions debacle that is not allowing anything to be installed.

4) Lastly, this server is randomly losing its DNS addresses. Every hour (or so), I have to go into IPv4 properties and manually reset them. None of my other 2012r2 servers have this problem. Thoughts?

STEPS CURRENTLY TAKEN TOWARDS RESOLUTION:

1) Re-installed .net 4.5.2

2) Run the sfc /scannow

3) Cleaned the temp and %temp% folders

4) Tried (with little success) to update/re-install drivers

5) Deleted the user config file in  C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft_Corporation\ServerManager.exe_StrongName_m3xk0k0ucj0oj3ai2hibnhnv4xobnimj\10.0.0.0\user.config

Again, any help is really appreciated. I'm really starting to worry about this server, since it goes into production soon.

Thank you!

Matthew

Migrating User Profiles (But from a server where you cannot install any programs!)

So I have a 2012r2 server that is totally bonked up. I need to get the data off of it before wiping clean, however. 

You can read about the specific issues I'm encountering here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c466476a-5e60-439b-9a3c-2cc58ae4de36/clr20r3mmcsystemrootdns-failureinstaller-failure?forum=winservermanager

I've migrated profiles before with great success using both FSMT and RichCopy. Unfortunately, I cannot install either of these programs. Also, I cannot get into the server backup MMC.

How would you suggest to migrate these profiles?

Thank you,

Matthew

IIS Manager in Server Manager not Connecting to Server

$

I am running Server Manager from the RSAT Tools on an administrative workstation.  I have no problem connecting to my remote servers and installing features or anything else.  When I use the IIS Manager from within the Tools menu it defaults to my workstation IIS Manager and I cannot manage IIS on the remote server or connect to it.  There is no option to connect to the remote server.  Can you only manage IIS on a Windows 2012R2 server by installing the full GUI and installing the IIS Management Tools?  How can I use the IIS Manager located in the Tools menu in Server Manager to manage IIS on the remote server?

ADFS 3.0 client certificate authentication display with no result on WAP

$

I have the setup as ADFS 3.0 client authentication method enabled. When I open browser to logon, the ADFS 3.0 page displays a message as "Select a certificate that you want to use for authentication. If you cancel the operation, please close your browser and try again." the certificats are displayed from internal when browsers access directly to ADFS 3.0 Server but the certificates are displayed for selection when I use external acces througt Web Application Proxy (WAP) with TCP port 49443 enabled inbound on the firewall between the clients and the Web Application Proxy (netstats show Etablished state on 49443 of the WAP with no resluts

It smells it's the only requirement is :

if client user certificate authentication (clientTLS authentication using X509 user certificates) is required, AD FS in Windows Server 2012 R2 requires that TCP port 49443 be enabled inbound on the firewall between the clients and the Web Application Proxy. This is not required on the firewall between the Web Application Proxy and the federation servers).

source : https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn554247.aspx#BKMK_7

All sources tell that 49443 is the only requirement

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn486819.aspx

Anyone can help me to solve this issue ?

Server Manager 2012 : Configuration refresh failed with the following error: Invalid class

When we start Server Manager on Server 2012 the flag lights up Red almost immediately with the error:

Configuration refresh failed with the following error: Invalid class. 

What we’ve tried so far:  

sfc /scannow  [reported no errors]

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth [Completed to 100% ]

Get-windowsfeature returns: Invalid class

This is a file/print server, running DFS.   When running DFS Management from Server Manager we don’t see the Replication section at the bottom. We can run MMC and manually add DFS Management then Replication shows up. 

Where do I look to start diagnosing this error?

Share and Storage Management .msc corrupt?

Hi all,

All my consoles are working apart from StorageMgmt.msc

Im running Web Server 2008 R2 with all latest updates and logged in as build in local Adminitsrator.

I tried:

1. Open directly C:\Windows\System32\StorageMgmt.msc

2. Open MMC.exe and add StorageMgmt.msc

3. Open MMC.exe and add another working console such as server manager = success

4. Logging as another user

5. Tried this solution: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\CONFIG

"I renamed the "machine.config" file to "machine.config.bad". I then made a copy of the "machine.config.default" file and renamed it to "machine.config"."

6. FSRM is installed in Features

7. Run SFC check - no probalems

This would suggest that issue is with StorageMgmt as everything else is working, any help would be appreciated

Thank you

Scheduled task won't run .bat file

$

Hi. On Windows Server 2008 I have a scheduled task that calls a .bat file. The fist step in the .bat file is write to a log file to the same directory in which the .bat file exists. This allows me to find out if it is ever run. When the .bat file is run from a command prompt it runs as expected writing to the log file and completing its actions. My problem is that when I run the scheduled task manually or allow it to run when scheduled it appears to run but the .bat file is never run. No log file is ever created. The History tab in the properties of the scheduled tasks shows the task being started and running then completing with an operation code of 2. I've disabled the UAC for the user account. I've set the task to run as the Administrator user and verified the permissions for that user. I know the password is correct for the task because I can make changes to the properties and save those changes with the username/password. I'm at a loss for further troubleshooting steps. Can anyone point me in the right direction to figure out why these .bat files are not being run?

Hi

I'm running Windows Server 2012 (R2), WDS is installed and running fine.  My problem is I have to be on the server in order to use WDS when I'd like to be able to run WDS from my Windows 10 client via Server Manager.  Is that possible?  When I right-click the server in question the context menu doe NOT include the Windows Deployment Service.

Grateful for any advice.  Thanks.

Our company is merged with other company and need to create trust relationship with their forest. We already have two different forest with two-way trust relationship. When I create trust relationship with other company, does it require to have two-way trust relationship between all of my two forests with their forest? Or just one two-way trust relationship with their forest will be enough to grand the access from/to both of my forests to their forest.
