I'm needing to add a WINS server entry to a bunch of servers(please don't ask why).
I modified a DNS script I used recently and although it runs, it does not actually add the WINS entry.

$computer = get-content .\systems.txt
$NICs = Get-WMIObject Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration -computername $computer |where{$_.IPEnabled -eq “TRUE”}
  Foreach($NIC in $NICs) {
#$WINSServers = “1.2.2.2",”1.2.2.3"
$NIC.SETWINSSERVER (“1.2.2.2",”1.2.2.3")
}

Select all Open in new window

I tried it with and without $winsservers, same result, the IP is not added to wins entry on the server.

I actually only need one entry, not 2, but when it failed initially, I added the second entry to rule out that being the issue somehow.

Internet explorer and Edge does not open webpages giving the following error: There was a temporary DNS error. Try refreshing the page.
Error Code: INET_E_RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND. When accessing the internet with Chrome, it works without any problems and you can access any website. I have reset network settings and also flushed the dns and cleared everything in the browsers. Nothing made a difference. Any idea what is causing this? Windows 10 pro is the operating system and this problem started about 2 weeks ago.

Hello All,

I am trying to remove an old SBS DC that is no longer online.  I was able to remove it from ADSS and ADUC but when I run the ntdsutil and clean the metadata I get the error in the attached file.  The new server is 2016 and it is the DC and holds all the operations masters and is the GC.  I can't remember if 2016 cleans up all metadata once the DC is removed from ADSS or not - I thought it did hence the reason I am getting the error???  I have also already manually removed everything from DNS for the old server.

Any suggestions if the metadata is still there.

Regards,

Rob

I'm still having issues getting my new server fully online. I created my new domain on Windows Server Essentials 2016, and migrated all the computers from the Windows Server 2012 domain onto the new domain.

Everything seems to be working except for DNS/DHCP. I have to set a static IP as well as define an outside DNS server such as 1.1.1.1 in order to get internet on my devices.

If I power back on the old server which no devices are connected to, I can connect to the internet without settings a static IP or DNS server.

I'm thinking there's a problem with the DNS on my new server, though I'm not sure what it is. The server is brand new, on a new domain as the primary DC. I migrated the DHCP settings from the old server and adjusted them to remove references to the old server, and set references to the new server.

When I run dcdiag /fix I get the following output:

Starting test: SystemLog
         An error event occurred.  EventID: 0x0000168F

I've had Active Directory Management consoles & DNS on my workstation to manage our domain without the need to log into DC directly, my workstation runs Windows 10.  I just updated to 1809 over the weekend now Active Directory Consoles & DNS are gone.

What should the public DNS be setup as for Exchange 2007/2013 coexistence.  I may be over thinking this but, do I adjust my firewall to point the existing IP to my EXCH2013?  I'm confused at this point.  I'm not sure how the additional public IP I setup comes into play.  currently I have mail.domain.com, legacy.domain.com, autodiscover.domain.com pointing to my Exchange 2007 server.  I added an IP for newmail.domain.com pointing to Exchange 2013.  I don't plan on using the name newmail but wanted it up there so I could have a placeholder.  I just don't understand how the new IP would come into play.  I would think I just adjust my firewall to point to my 2013 server.

Example of my public DNS:
mail.domain.com - 66.67.68.1
legacy.domain.com - 66.67.68.1
autodiscover.domain.com - 66.67.68.1
newmail.domain.com - 66.67.68.2

New setup?
mail.domain.com - 66.67.68.2
legacy.domain.com - 66.67.68.1
autodiscover.domain.com - 66.67.68.2

Active directory was corrupted by bad VM memory. I do not have full admin access only vsphere access. DNS does not have domain or forest DNS Zones. Unable to manually build.  sysvol and netlogon unfixable. Finally after a week of having fun I did a bare metal image of DC1 (FSMO).  I am able to build from scratch (after demoting to member server) the same two servers back up and they are running fine. Good replication, Net share is good. However I do not want to use DSRM and recover the corrupted SYSVOL and NetLOGON. I have a full GPO backup, but I don't know how to backup only the Active Directory. I am working this weekend to get this fixed.  I have already tried restoring just NTDS and the log, verifying it is good and dropping it in the correct folders. I verified/fixed the permissions. Active Directory does not see the NTDS. HELP!

Hi Folks,
So a couple of my websites on my domain are getting flagged for phishing on virustotal.com. I need to go through the delisting process and cannot find where I should do that. This is happening with AegisLab WebGuard and CyRadar specifically. Can anyone point me toward the resource to do that?

We recently switched from an Exchange Server 2010 (on premises) to an Exchange Server 2016 (on premises).

A co-worker (Cory) is part of a group where people post messages to it, and others respond to the "posts".
Her "sent" emails to the group, are staying in our Exchange 2016 queue for 48 hours, then not delivered.

I am trying to whitelist youtube on OpenDNS.  I whitelisted the youtube and the site shows up, but unfortunately the videos don't play.  What URLs do I need to whitelist in order to fully open up youtube?

I have a computer at work that belonged to a different domain and when I try to join it to our domain the option is grayed out and a message says, "The identification of the computer cannot change because the workstation servise is not running. Open the services snap-in to insure it is running ans set its startup type as "automatic". When I try to do this I get a message that "Windows could not start the workstation service. The system cannot find the file specified."

Do you know how to proceed?

Thanks,

Can I install Exchange 2013 in a Exchange 2007 SP3 (2008 DFL/FFL) environment, if I set the virtual directories properly?  I'd like that to be the first step and then install Exchange 2013 and configure mail to flow through there the next day.  I understand the DNS and Cert (legacy, mail, autodiscover) requirements.  Plan is to set the DNS up, all pointing to 07, then the next day install and setup 13.  Then setup the virtual directories and DNS to allow for 13 to proxy to 07.  Would that work out smoothly with no impact to my users (local/remote)?

With my little powershell command i try to get CNAME record from domain.
When i execute this command <Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName "ccsmtl.lab" -RRType CName -ComputerName S-ADS001> i have all information. But when it comes to filter to have specific result there is no information for this command <Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName "ccsmtl.lab" -RRType CName -ComputerName S-ADS001 | Where {$_.RecordData -like "S-SUBCA001*"}>
In the attached file I put the screenshot of the results of the console powershell
