On Sun 11/6/2016 4:00:40 AM GMT your computer crashed

crash dump file: C:\windows\Minidump\110616-55068-01.dmp

This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe(nt+0x748C0) 
Bugcheck code: 0xA (0x0, 0x2, 0x1, 0xFFFFF800028892CE)

description: NT Kernel & System
Bug check description: This indicates that Microsoft Windows or a kernel-mode driver accessed paged memory at DISPATCH_LEVEL or above.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem. 
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver which cannot be identified at this time.

Software Protection Platform Service (SPPS) High CPU usage on Windows Server 2012

$

Hi there; I've looked far and wide and have not seen the fix to my problem; there seem to be many that are talking about it but I haven't found any work-able answer for my particular situation on my OS. If anyone can help me or share a link/site that gives an answer for this issue I would be very obliged.

We have a host machine running Windows Server 2012 Standard. On that machine we have 3 virtual servers setup with Hyper-V Manager: DC (Domain Controller), ERP Server, and RDS file server.

On the RDS is where all the profiles are setup of the employees, all the software is installed, (MS office, etc) etc.

The problem: Very often, the users (myself included) on RDS complain about the system being very slow. It is pretty much all the time when I find that the CPU is running at 95+% usage - of which software protection platform service is taking up 30, 40, or 50% or more! It has become a daily occurrence. 

I found a way to disable the process from running but then I can't use the MS office software because it thinks it's not activated.

Host machine: Intel Xeon CPU E5-2620 0 @ 2.00GHz (2 Processors)

Installed Memory: 48 GB

Any other questions/info you need?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Error 0x80090016 on Scheduled Tasks, Server 2003R2

$

To save everyone's time, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/246183 didn't help.

Server is 2003R2 (SP1) x32.  It is the only DC in our Disaster Recovery Domain.

When I try to create a new scheduled task, or edit any existing task, I get the following popup:

Title:  Task Scheduler

Message: General page inialisation failed.
The specific error is:
0x80090016: Keyset does not exist
An error has occurred attempting to retrieve task account information. You may continue editing the task object, but you will be unable to change the task account information.

Event logs hold nothing useful.

There seem to be a lot of people hitting this problem, but not too many solutions.  Any suggestions?


503 QueueFull on Windows Server 2008 with no IIS Web Server installed

$
0
0

Hi! 

Description: 

  • We are currently using Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard on our API servers.
  • We do not have IIS installed in the server.
  • We have our own .net-based application installed on it that processes the API requests that are received by the server.
  • Our .net application has its own configuration settings for Input Queue and number of Worker Threads.
  • We have multiple of these Windows Servers - all the same setup - behind load balancers. 

Problem: 

  • On a specific second (can occur several times a day), we have thousands of end-clients that send the same requests to our server. 
  • When this happens, we see in the logfiles of C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\HTTPERR requests that failed with 503 Queuefull: 

2016-11-20 01:45:01 [IPAddress_removed] 35190 10.220.30.122 80 HTTP/1.1 PUT /Request/Info/Properties 503 - QueueFull -
2016-11-20 01:45:01 [IPAddress_removed] 35791 10.220.30.122 80 HTTP/1.1 PUT /Request/Info/Properties 503 - QueueFull -
2016-11-20 01:45:01 [IPAddress_removed] 45693 10.220.30.122 80 HTTP/1.1 PUT /Request/Info/Properties 503 - QueueFull -
2016-11-20 01:45:01 [IPAddress_removed] 38550 10.220.30.122 80 HTTP/1.1 PUT /Request/Info/Properties 503 - QueueFull -
2016-11-20 01:45:02 [IPAddress_removed] 39680 10.220.30.122 80 HTTP/1.1 PUT /Request/Info/Properties 503 - QueueFull -

Investigation: 

I have set up Performance Monitor: 

1. During that specific second when 503 is being returned, the CPU usage is not even more than 20%. We are averaging <5% regularly. 

2. During the time when 503 is being returned by the server, I see in our own .net-based application that we still have plenty of worker threads available. 

3. The amount of requests that arrive in our .net based application is so little - so much less than what it is designed to handle (7K to 10K requests each time), but it looks like the HTTP layer of the server is not passing it.

This is an example:

Date

Time

# of 503 QueueFull errors in HTTP Service of Server (Source: HTTPERR Logs)

4. I looked around online, but the suggestions I see are all about changing the QueueLength of IIS. But we do not have that server role enabled. 

QUESTIONS: 

Is there another configuration of the HTTP layer queue size that we can modify safely for this?

Or is there another reason why the HTTP layer is rejecting the requests with a 503? 

Thank you ... 



Shouldn't my Child Domain be able to operate (for the most part) in isolation from my Primary Domain?

$
0
0

Am just in the throws of implementing our first child domain. Everything up until now has gone fine and would appear to work as it should with inter-operation between the 2 domains

We operate in a secure environment and are now beginning to lock down the network via ACL's on the switch. We have set it so that only the child domain controller(s) can communicate with the parent domain controller(s). Workstations of the child domain can obviously access their own DC, but cannot talk to the top level domain controllers.

I had imagined/assumed that this would be fine and that the clients would just need to authenticate with and get all their policies from the child DC, but upon locking down the network we are seeing numerous errors. i.e. the client can authenticate but it cant pull down any group policy objects (which i would have thought should have been coming from the child domain?), it errors when i try and run gpupdate /force, and when i attempt an RSOP it states there is no data.

I realize i haven't put too much info in this post and can supply more, but shouldn't the child domain and workstations be able to work (mostly autonomously) from the parent domain?

Thanks in advance

Windows Server 2008 Standard error code 0xc004c008

$

We migrated a server to a vm on a different box. The hardware has changed. A while after this migration we started getting This copy of Windows is not genuine. We have tried to clear the product key and re-enter the product key and activate to perform a reactivation for the server as we should have several more uses on our OL.

 

The following steps were performed to reactivate:

 

slmgr.vbs -ckms

slmgr.vbs -cpky

slmgr.vbs -upk

slmgr.vbs -ipk (product key)

slmgr.vbs -ato

 

After then trying to activate with the last command we receive the error:

Activating Windows Server(R), ServerStandardCore edition

(a reg key)

Run 'slui.exe 0x2a 0xc004c008' to display the error text.

Error: 0xc004c008 

 

Looking up this key it shows 'The activation server determined that the specified product key could not be used.'

Our OL key should be good for 10 activations and and 6 different computers.

We are only using 3 activation and 3 different computers (including the migration to the VM).

 

Any help?

Windows 8.1 won't install update KB2919355

$

My Windows Update shows me that I got 3 important updates:

KB2990967 (30KB)
KB3063843 (25KB)
KB2919355 (37KB)

When I press Install the updater does the installation and says: The updates were successful. Succeeded: 3 updates
The message looks OK, but, unfortunately, nothing is really installed. If I press Check for Updatesbutton, it shows me exactly the same 3 updates again.
I was trying all possible solutions from Internet:

  • Deleting Software Distribution folder
  • Restarting wuauserv
  • Performing different DISM commands
  • Performing actions from Windows Help pages

None of the above did solve the issue.
In plus, I've tried downloading KB2919355 manually from the official site, but as soon as I try to install it I got an error message: The update is not applicable for your computer.
The strange thing about Windows Update that it shows absolutely incorrect sizes of updates. For example, KB2919355 has a real size of 600+MB when you download it from official site, but Windows Update shows just 37KB.

Here are my CBS Logs: www.mediafire.com/?sosbr9vt8gsr5po

Could anyone suggest what I can do to install KB2919355?






KMS 2016 + KMS Office 2016

$

Hi,

working on KMS 2012 server for enabling activation of Server 2012 (and below) and Office 2013.

Currently KMS 2008 with Office 2013 is running on network.

Before finishing Server 2012 KMS with Office 2013, I just got an idea... may be setting up straight Server 2016 with Office 2016.

Currently, the servers on network are 2008 and 2012 (no plans for 2016 yet) and Windows 7, 8 and 10 on.

Office is 2013 for the next few years.

From the other hand Server 2016 is just first release... so in near future probably will be SP and R2.

Should I install Server 2016 for KMS? Or better to continue with Server 2012 for OSes and enable KMS for Office 2016 on it that should enable Office 2013 activation?

Thanks.
