I know this is okay but I wanted to see if anyone could explain to me why our conditional forwarders do not resolve the "Server FQDN". I attached a screen shot. The conditional forwarders are on a domain that is setup on a trust relationship.

Everything else resolves and validates.

Hi Guys,

2 of our 2008 R2 Terminal Servers randomly get a 'Server 2008 R2' wallpaper. What could control/change this?

Hi All,

Can anyone here please share the steps and suggestion to create Previous Version of my file server on Windows Server 2012 R2 ?

Vmware
Windows Server 2012 R2
C:\ 40 GB
D:\ 1.99 TB NTFS file server department 1 - 75% full
E:\ 1.75 TB NTFS marketing department 90 % full
F:\ 2.0 TB Previous Version iSCSI NAS on Qnap

So how do I create the Previous version of the file server folders on those two drives on new HDD that is taking the Versioning of the file every 12 hours ?

Thanks.

Hello Folks,

I've two websites in ASP.NET and staging environment was Window Server (WS) 2008 R2 (Standard).
The SSO (Single Sign-On) was working perfectly on this WS 2008 R2 (Standard).

But the customer wants to move on Windows Server 2012 R2 (Standard), but SSO using form-based authentication couldn't work.
I am having below error

Event code: 4005
Event message: Forms authentication failed for the request.

Did you experience about this problem before for WS 2012 R2 (Standard)?

Best Regards

People,

I've got the existing Exchange Server 2013 Standard SP1 that is running as MBX&CAS role in one AD site called Default-First-Site-Name.
I want to decommission it so that I can run the both MBX & CAS on new Win2012 R2 VM so I can configure DAG on the other AD site called Head-Office1.

Existing:
AD Site Default-First-Site-Name
PRODMAIL14-VM [Mailbox & Client Access Server] - Windows Server 2008 R2 existing legacy.
PRODMAIL15-VM [Mailbox server only] - Windows Server 2012 R2 newly built for DAG.

AD Site Head-Office1
PRODMAIL20-VM [Mailbox & Client Access Server] - Windows Server 2012 R2 existing newly built for DAG.

Proposed:
AD Site Default-First-Site-Name
PRODMAIL14-VM [Decommissioned]
PRODMAIL15-VM [Mailbox & Client Access Server] - Windows Server 2012 R2 setup for DAG with Head Office.

AD Site Head-Office1
PRODMAIL20-VM [Mailbox & Client Access Server] - Windows Server 2012 R2 existing newly built for DAG with PRODMAIL15-VM.

How to do that safely without causing email flow issue during the production business hours ?
What're the steps in installing CAS so that it does not cause any email flow during the business hours on PRODMAIL15-VM ?
If I install the windows update now during the business hours on PRODMAIL15-VM is there any impact or problem when I reboot it ?

Thanks, in advance.

Every once in awhile one of our computers seems to lose connectivity displaying  the following msg The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed.

What I to for a temperate fix I disconnect the network cable and log in (as it can't check in with the server for authentication) I remove it from the domain. login with local user and rejoin it to the domain.

How can I prevent this from happening?

Server 2008

I need to mount a ISO in 2008 server. Anybody have a free good tool to use?

Hi All,

I'm running Exchange Server 2013 that was inherited or not properly deployed and planned:

Windows Server 2008 R2
C:\ 200 GB [OS - 70GB remaining]
D:\ 1.95 TB [Mailbox DB - 50GB remaining free disk space]
L:\ 200 GB [Logs - 30 GB remaining free disk space]
P:\ 100 GB [Page file - 10 GB remaining]

So If I run the Exchange backup to truncate the log files now during the business hours, does it can cause any mail flow impact ?

Does the D: drive of the Database will run out due to the very large transaction logs being committed to the Exchange database ?

Note: The D: drive cannot be extended anymore to 2 TB due to NTFS - MBR partition

One of our Exchange servers is running out of space on C: (Exchange 2013 on Server 2012R2)  Investigation finds 36GB in System Volume Information, apparently in ShadowStorage:
Shadow Copy Storage association
   For volume: (C:)\\?\Volume{93a1fd71-d1a9-11e5-80c5-806e6f6e6963}\
   Shadow Copy Storage volume: (C:)\\?\Volume{93a1fd71-d1a9-11e5-80c5-806e6f6e6963}\
   Used Shadow Copy Storage space: 35.8 GB (29%)
   Allocated Shadow Copy Storage space: 36.1 GB (30%)
   Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space: 12.0 GB (10%)
However, no shadows are listed:
C:\>vssadmin list shadows
vssadmin 1.1 - Volume Shadow Copy Service administrative command-line tool

No items found that satisfy the query.
WMI shows it as well:

System Volume Information contains 67 huge files with names like {f8597897-5134-11e7-80ed-005056a53d34}{3808876b-c176-4e48-b7ae-04046e6cc752}.  Access denied to all of them, of course.  Even Takeown has no access.

I suspect some involvement by DPM 2012 which is used to backup this server, but have no real evidence to support that...

Hi All,

I got the below important VM that cannot be down, during the migration (Exchange server) setup as MBR - NTFS.

it is currently running very low on disk space about 1.945 TB, how much more I can extend it from the vSphere level and from the Windows Disk Management level without breaking it or causing it to go offline ?


I need to know what;s the exact safest limit to extend this disk.

Thanks,

Currently running onPrem SharePoint 2016 Exchange 2016.
Attempting to configure eDiscovery on this setup however running into issues.

SharePoint 2016 Trusted Security Token Issuer for Exchange configured to https://*EXCHANGESITE*/autodiscover/metadata/json/1

Exchange Partner Application configured to https://eDiscovery.FQDN/_layouts/15/metadata/json/1

Authentication is currently running via ADFS SAML Claims using a Custom People Picker

Search Result source set to https://EXCHANGESITE/EWS/Exchange.asmx

When trying to select a mailbox to add to a case Error: The connection to the search service application failed.

When looking at the SharePoint logs: "Failed to connect to search serviceSystem.ServiceModel.FaultException....." "Exception of Type Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Discovery.Internal.ExchangeConnectionException"

When looking at the IIS Logs on Exchange : "The user specified by the user-context in the token does not exist."

I'm at a loss at the moment. Exchange Auth Cert (confirmed by get-AuthCert on exchange) is on the SharePoint Servers.
SharePoint search works.
Permission controls via the custom people picker works.

Anyone have any suggestions?

If there is any need for clarification or additional information I am completely available to respond to comments. I am still having the issue.

Thanks

Hello can any one tell me ABT fsrm roles !

Hi,
Does anyone know why a domain user not able to RDP to machine. I have added the person under group " Remote Desktop Users" on the server itself. Everytime i try to login i get message saying ""to Sign in remotely you need the right to sign  in through RDS etc..."

Unless i make user Local Admin on server, it doesnt work. However i dont want to make them Local admin. Just be able to RDP to server.
