Our servers had automatic update set on all of the them.  It has run flawlessly for years.  Up until yesterdays update KB:4038774 and KB:4036479.  The updates would install and then have to have a reboot.  After the reboot, the server update process attempts to install both KBs again and another reboot in 15 minutes.  And again, again, again.  

We would like to uninstall the update and turn off automatic updates on all of our servers.  We have tried the following from the command line  wusa /uninstall /kb:4038774 /quiet /norestart

Hi,
We have a DFS configuration on a clustered 2008 R2 server environment. It has been working fine before but now it is failing to work.
The DFS replicted folders woult not come online when failing over to the secondary DFS server.
In the cluster event logs i have the following:

Event ID 1205
The Cluster service failed to bring clustered service or application 'File cluster' completely online or offline. One or more resources may be in a failed state. This may impact the availability of the clustered service or application.

Event ID 1069
Cluster resource 'DFSR D:\Data\Corporate' in clustered service or application 'File cluster' failed.

I have about 200 of these events logged when trying to come online in the secondary cluster server node.

I ran the cluster validation report, but obviously due to the time I couldnt do a full one which brings the cluster disks offline. I have cluster resource warnings:
This resource is not configured to use the standard 'Pending timeout' value for the resource type. 'Pending timeout' specifies the length of time the resource can take to change states between Online and Offline before the Cluster service puts the resource in the Failed state. The default setting is generally recommended, but there may be situations where other values may be preferable. This setting can be configured in Failover Cluster Manager by selecting 'Properties' and then selecting the 'Policies' tab.

This is currently set to 15 minutes, and has been…

So, I can access a file server in the network, I was given a login credentials- username and password.
I will specifically use this login/pw to access files in a server to allow reading and writing to this particular folder.
Windows authentication is used to login to the app.

I would like to switch to this  ID/pw given to me to authenticate and authorize writing and reading files to the server.

How would I sign in to this identity when I have to write and read files to this particular server? And then when I'm done, Ill switch it back to my original id/pw  identity?

how can I see what region I am connecting to?


thanks

I am running a Hyper-V VM on my windows server 2012 r2 server.  When I attempt to run the Event viewer or windows backup on the vm, I get an error saying "MMC could not create the snap-in;  The snap-in might not have been installed correctly.  Name: Windows Server Backup".  I of course googled it and have tried several "Fixes" but none have seemed to do the trick.

I have tried a registry key delete, replace a machine.cfg file, re-install gpedit.

Other thoughts or ideas?

Hi All,

I need to allow some non-admins RDP to our DC.

I created a security Group, and added it to the Default Domain Controllers GPO and added the group under

'Allow Logon Through Remote Desktop Services' and 'Allow Logon Locally'

I ran gpupdate /force on the DC, but when trying to remote in, i get user is not authorized

Hi All,

I've got primary WSUS in the Head Office which downloads the updates and then distributes it into the Site Office 1, 2 and 3.
now, the Site Office 3 WSUS has broken, I need to know how to break the replication so I can just set it as the normal stand alone WSUS server directly downloading from the internet.

Can anyone here please let me know how to break the WSUS structure so that the site office which is now Synchronizing to the head office WSUS server can now be standing on its own?

I'm using WSUS 4.0 on Windows Server 2012 R2.

I had this question after viewing Exchange 2013 DAG - Unable to truncate Microsoft Exchange transaction logs..

People,

Can anyone here please share some steps to be followed to perform Exchange Server 2013 DAG reboot ?

As at the moment, the server PRODMBX01-VM has no Active DB running, only passive mailbox DB, so I wonder if I can just reboot it straight away or do I need to follow certain steps safely?

what does this mean when a user is hitting a web site in their browser and gets this message?

the connection to the dns server timed out

Does it mean that the problem is with THEIR DNS server they are routing through?

Or is the problem with the website's DNS server?

Because no other users using the website have had this error.

thanks!

People,

I'm having very strange issue where my domain joined server cannot open another server\\ServerName\ UNC path ?

Let say the problem server is called PRODSQL03-VM.domain.com

I have logged in as DOMAIN\Administrator to the server above, and opening any other server UNC path \\PRODSQL01-VM\ or \\10.1.1.1\ is always end up with Network Error code: 0x800704CF

From PRODSQL03-VM I can ping to any other server in the domain. But cannot open any other server via FQDN or IP address.

From the other server like PRODSQL01-VM, I can open \\PRODSQL03-VM with no issue.

THere is no firewall running internally and time is already synched to the PDC emulator.

The network card in the VM is e1000 adapter, which is listed as Intel 82574L Gigabit Network adapter.

like shown below:

So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,.
