Hi,

How do I install RSAT tools (ADUC, DNS etc) via Powershell for a Windows 2012 server?

Hi all. Just added two 2012 R2 server cores computers to domain.

Renamed, did the Ip config, and successfully promoted to Domain Controllers. Enabled remote desktop using cscript all running fine and remote admin using netsh. But when I try to connect to either using perfmon from a 3rd GUI DC  I get the rpc server is unavailable. I have checked, the rpc service is running on both servers.

Any idea anyone?

Just checked something else. When I stop the firewall service on the server core the rpc error goes although perfmon cannot connect, I get path not found. So I tried ping the server core but it times out. If I re-enable the firewall the ping works! wth is that all about. I should have titled the question "why I hate core"

Hello, for some reason I have more frequency of workstations having a problem with a trust relationship with the primary domain.   What causes this and is there something I should do to prevent this error?

Hi,

 I have a terminal server 2012 with 5 user license activated.
 However I can see there are more than 5 users concurrently connected at times.
 What I like to know is whether MS terminal server licensing manager is supposed to restrict logon attempts beyond the number of licenses purchased or it is an honor system?

Thanks.

Actually, i have a domain named: "haku.com" and it is used for internal and external mail flow in an organization. Now again i need to create a additional domain like suppose : cmail.haku.com for exchange mail user and mail should be flow inside organizations only.
Example: "binod@haku.com" is already created mailbox user and this user can sent and received mail from inside and outside the organization to all. But now we need to add such domain like: binod@cmail.haku.com and this user can sent mail inside the organization to all. How can we configure it??

i had a 2008 r2 terminal server which is not used much these days
i build a new 2012 r2 terminal server running a few published apps
im currently still in the grace period
do i need to buy new licenses?
or can i use the 2008 r2 licenses
do i point the new server at the old server

I am trying to set the Automatic Configuration Script in a new GPO.  The problem is that when I deploy .  The GPO Servers are both 2008 R2 and dont have IE10 capability.  But I do have a 2012 server (not DC) that does have the IE10 GPO capability, and this si where i am writing the GPO object.

I have created a separate Test OU and put my users account in that OU and applied the IE11 GPO.  It did the gupdate /force and restarted my workstation.  But the GPO just didnt apply.  I then enfoced it, so it should overwrite any other IE settings that may have been set in any inherited GPOs.  Again, i forced the update and restarted, but it still doesn't apply.

I just cant figure out why it wont apply.  

Is it because the server I am writing the GPO on isnt a DC or GP Server?  I dont think so.
Is it because my domain functional level is 2008?  I dont think so.

Can a Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V VM be exported and then imported on another Windows 2012 Hyper-V host machine?  Or can the VHD be used on a new VM on a different host machine?

Hello EE,

I am not very familiar with HP servers and we have a few.  Recently there is a vulnerability and I need to check the ILO version.
What is the easiest way to do that in Windows?

All:

Been fighting this issue for days.  I have a wildcard certificate I exported from IIS from another server we have.  I imported the PFX file into the certificate store of Windows Server 2012 system running Microsoft SMTP server.

I now get the TLS option checkbox which I wasn't able to get before.

I can't seem to relay mail through the SMTP server.  I grab some software that let's me see the exact issue.  The error is:

The Remote Certificate is Invalid According to the Validation Procedure

Any ideas how to resolve this?

Hey Guys, we have an SBS 2011 server, and i added a new File Server (2012 R2).

I am making some new shares on the 2012 R2 server, and i cannot add the domain\administrators groups on the 2012 R2 server, it like does not even show up. Is there a reason for that?
