kms client not activates from FORCED kms server name

December 9, 2016, 7:50 am

Hi,

I need to test a New KMS server in environment with an existing one.

Before publish it I want to activate couple of machines for testing. New KMS is in a new domain but there are no firewalls in between.

Test machines are W7 with O2013.

I disabled KMS autodiscovery, by using:

  1. cscript.exe slmgr.vbs /skms <Name:Port or      IP Address of desired KMS Host>   I entered IP:1688

 2.  telnet of new_kms 1688 works fine

3. new KMS IP with port properly entered in registry after step 1.

4. just in case I disabled host cashing bySlmgr.vbs /ckhc .

Probably forcing KMS name in registry should take priority of everything else.

But when runningcscript ospp.vbs /act it shows activation from an existing production server.

Worst case scenario I would add 6 test computers to a new domain and activation will be relying on DNS entry of a new domain. But I would like to achieve the testing goal by using forced KMS name.

What I did wrong ?

troubleshooting Office KMS client on Windows 7 PRO (KMS and OEM machines).

Strangely, I don't see Office name in the output of slmgr -dlv all of different W7 machines with Office2013 installed

(the same on Windows 7 with Office 2010)

When run the same command on Windows 10. There is Office 2013 info.

Could somebody confirm the behavior on Windows 7?

Thanks.

Hi Experts,

I have configure a schedule on server 2012 for DB2 image level backup but it's not providing the result as expected. I have a command which I have copied and created a batch file but when it triggers the task it shows completed with operation code 2 result but nothing is coming on disk as expected I am copying below which i have written on batch file please do let me know what I am missing. I am guessing it requires the db2 cmd that's why it is not running although i tried to put above db2cmd path also but no luck. but at the same-time after launching the db2 cmd when i put this command it is working like a charm. please share your views on this.

db2cmd -c -w -i db2 -tvf F:\DB2\BACKUP_SCRIPT\db2backup1.txt -l F:\DB2\BACKUP_SCRIPT\db2backup1.txt.out -r F:\DB2\BACKUP_SCRIPT\db2backup1.txt.rpt

ACR38 + SLE4428: Smart card requires drivers not present.

Hello all.

I purchased the ACR38 card reader from eBay along with some SLE4428 smart cards. When I try to import a certificate to the card it gives me the frustrating error message "This smart card requires drivers not currently present on this system."

I've tried updating the drivers in Device Manager, but I can't find drivers on the web to try and manually install them. When I insert a card into the reader upon prompt, there's a point where a window opens that says "Installing smart card...," but clearly something isn't correct here.

Please respond.

Windows Server 2008R2 Search does not have same options as before

Hello,

Looking for options that previous versions of windows server had for the Search. 

Currently, it just allows you to type away and not specify search details (i.e.: Advanced search). 

There are options within the global settings in the "folder options" - Search tab, but that's global settings.  :(  Need something on-the-fly just like before. 

Why would Microsoft remove this?

A Windows VM for Learning (Server Side)

Hello All,

So at work I deal with Windows 7, and while I understand the client side of things extremely well I can't help but think learning server side applications and setups would help further my career.

I recently learned quite a bit about SCCM and Active Directory as we configure machines via these two tools which I suppose you could say is what got me interested in server side.

As a part time student also I have access to a lot of MS products, from Windows 10 Edu to SQL Server 2014 to Windows Server 2016 Datacenter/Standard/Essentials.

Additionally recently I have started scripting in Powershell and VB.

So my plan is to create a VM where I can do all these things together, from learning how AD is built and works, possibly following on with building SCCM, as well as learning about SQL and scripting along the way.

I was thinking of using Windows Server for these tasks and basically creating one big VM where I can do everything and protect it with Snapshots.

I will using VMware for this likely as I also have a mac with VMWare fusion 8 Pro on it and as far as I know it does not support VHD.

What would your advice be on building such a thing?

Thanks

After user migration from child domain to parent domain we found that few users' have their old Distinguished name.

The Distinguished name in AD is visible in User profile of that user in user profile service application, but in miisclient.exe it is showing the old distinguished name.

Kindly help me to update specific user's "Distinguished Name" from AD to miisclient.exe

Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation upgrade to Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard

We have some hp servers that are installed with windows server 2008 R2 foundation (OEM). Currently there are only 6 GB Ram. As we want to add the Ram to 32 GB, we suppose we at least have to upgrade them to windows server 2008 R2 Standard.

We tried to upgrade them using command line, but failed. Problem is that we could not get the server ID when we enter the following command:

DISM /online /Get-TargetEditions

Would anyone help for this ?

or suggest any other way to perform the upgrade easier ?

Which server package is right for me?

December 12, 2016, 11:18 am

Hello,
I run a few non-commercial websites with forums for various enthusiast demographics.  I also run my own POP3 email server for the associated domains using an open source mail server for Windows on the same server.  I'm currently leasing a dedicated server in a data center to serve my web forums but the costs have exceeded the benefits and I'm moving my sites back to a home based server with a commercial cable connection.
I have recently purchased a Lenovo ThinkServer TS440 on 32 gigs of RAM with four physical 2TB WD Enterprise HDDs configured RAID 1 to have one system drive and then one storage drive.  My forums are running on phpBB software (.php) utilizing an MS SQL Express database.  I also have an archive of the forum left up for reference only that runs on an MS Access database.  The server is ready to go live, except for the operating system.  My server performance needs really aren't all that great (before I leased the dedicated server two years ago I hosted everything on an outdated desktop computer running Windows 2000 Server with just barely the minimum hardware).
I'm looking at various server packages and am currently considering Windows Server 2012 Essentials, Windows Server 2012 Standard, Windows Server 2016 Essentials and Windows Server 2016 Standard.  I want to stay with the Windows Server software because it's what I know and can configure, but I don't want to spend more money than I need to in order to meet my above stated needs.  Your recommendations as well as explanations for why you believe that your recommendations are best for me would be sincerely appreciated.
Thanks!

Windows Server 2008 issue with DNS queries that contain EDNS0 section

When a client sends a DNS query that has an optional EDNS0 section it immediately responds with an FORMERR (Format Error).

I have search and the only things I could find talk about the potential for firewalls to drop the DNS queries that are too large, but that is not happening since I see the query reaching the DNS server, both with DNS debug logging turned on and wireshark traces.

Robocopy File Definitions

Hi Guys,

I am using robocopy to copy files to a new server as part of a server migration from Windows 2003 to Windows 2012 server.

The command I am using is (Slashes have been reversed):-

robocopy  //ServerName/ShareName/Folder1 //ServerName2/ShareName2/Folder2  /S /E /SEC /COPYALL /COPY:DATSO /V /NP /R:10 /W:30

All works fine and the files are copied.

I just need to know more about the various File Definitions displayed when the command is run please?

The following file definitions are what I need explaining:-

Tweaked

Modified

Extra

I have ran the command twice in half an hour and the number of tweaked and modified seems to be very high.

Thanks for any help you are able to provide

Richard
