network drives and printers not showing, windows 10

November 30, 2016, 2:42 am

after creating a fresh image of windows 10 and joining a fresh copy of of a windows 10 machine to the network domain , the network drives and printers do not show and DO NOT connect automatically when logging in , example the Q: drive should be  "\\computer\data the L: Drive should be \\computer2\data2, the share is available  via UNC and we can map the drive shares and printers locally, but we have to deploy several 100 machines, and the  each user has a different network drives and printers available to them so this solution would be problematic 

When the user logs in to a different windows 7 or 8 machine all, drives and printer populate correctly

So Far I have tried the following solutions and none have worked

*verified that the user has access to the shared drives and printers on windows 10

*Disconnected and reconnected the  machine on the domain

* did a group policy force update gpupdate /force

*verified that network discovery is on and working

*created a new image 

any help would be appreciated,,,,

Can't get RoboCopy to run as a batch file

There seem to be lots of posts on the web that come close to answering this, but infuriatingly, nothing actually does.

The following line, when typed into a command prompt, works perfectly:

robocopy /xo e: \\server1\e$\ /E /DCOPY:DA /COPY:DATSO /PURGE /MIR /XA:H /REG /R:1 /W:0

If I save it as a file called DEPLOYMENT.bat, the command prompt just flashes up very quickly and does nothing.

Can someone help me figure out what exactly I need to do to get this running as a batch file, so users can double-click on it rather than having to open a command prompt?

Thanks!

This problem has been ongoing.  I have downloaded a 'hotfix' which worked for several days.  Now, when I open Windows Explore on any machine in my network, everything else connected to the network shows up except Win Server 2008 R2.  Any suggestions are appreciated.

Creating task from Event Viewer

December 6, 2016, 8:17 am

I would like to create a scheduled task that will run from a SPECIFIC event ID from a SPECIFIC task. I have right clicked on the event and choose "Attach Task To This Event" doing this only allows me to choose an event ID that is fine but there are other tasks that generate the same event ID and I dont want the notification on every task. Example....

I have one scheduled task that runs every day and it runs some batch files and when it completes it generates a event ID of 102.

There is a similar task that runs a different batch file and I want an email notification when event ID 102 comes FROM THIS ONE SPECIFIC TASK ONLY.

The only issue is that I cant get granular in the event ID as I would like. I can see in the details of the event 102 for my specific task has the name of the job that runs in it but there is no way to single out this task via key word or something so I only get the notification for this task. I have tried the "custom" task settings but cannot type in he "Keyword" are Im limited to what the drop down gives me..

Is there any way I can get granular so I only get the notification from a specific task when it runs? I hope this makes sense and thanks in advance!

Windows 2012 R2 LDAPS

December 8, 2016, 6:19 am

Good Morning,

I am trying to get clarification on some options for our situation.

Our domain was originally setup as a .local naming scheme.

We now have more applications that are no longer going to be accepting self assigned certs and require a public domain SSL certifications for LDAPS authentication.

As of right now all our domain controllers are named .local because our domain is named .local.  I have searched a lot of articles and see some conflicting information regarding whether it is possible to assign a public cert to a dc named .local.  I know you can no longer get directly published certs pointing to .local and most also do not allow the Subject Alternative Name to contain .local either.

I ran across some comments that claim you can simply use split DNS and assign an internal public domain redirect that resolves to that domain controller.  Whenever we tried doing this, the SSL cert was still rejected by all clients due to the actual name of the server.


Here is a similar setup to or situation

dc1 - 192.168.1.1  - AD Name dc1.local

cert we purchased was dc1.contoso.com

external dns(public ip) dc1.contoso.com - NAT resolves to internal dc1.local

internal dns dc1.contoso.com also resolves to dc1.local ip address

In the end both external and external dns entries resolve to dc1.local ip address in the end.

We created the dc1.contoso.com cert with the exported information from the dc and then re-imported as instructed.  Some commenters suggested you could at this point simply create and internal and external dns reference that points all dc1.contoso.com to the same ip as dc1.local

After experimenting with this we were unable to get this to work.  Even though the dns may resolve the same ip of dc1.local, the connection would fail.  the error message would indicate that the name did not match.  The cert expects a server with a name of dc1.contoso.com but gets one with the real name of dc1.local which makes sense.

My question - Is there any legitimacy to this method?   If so, how do you get around the error of the server always returning it's real name of .local and causing SSl authentication failure?


Any help would appreciated in this matter.

Can I Use the Same KMS Key On Multiple Servers?

We have two sepearate networks - they are air-gapped and completely isolated from the internet, so each will require phone activation for the KMS key (which is for Office if it makes a difference).

Do we need two separate KMS keys to do this, or will the same KMS work?

In other words, can the same KMS key be successfully activated over the phone on two different servers?

Thanks

Windows server 2016 event id 2 error Hyper-V-Netvsc

Hello,

sorry for my poor english,

I have installed Windows server 2016 STD edition like a guest VM on a Windows 2012 r2 Hyper-v host

and at every boot the system log record the following two error:

Source:        Hyper-V-Netvsc
Event ID:      2
Task Category: (1001)
Level:         Error
Description:
The VM and host networking components failed to negotiate protocol version '6.1'

followed from another one like this but the protocol version is 6.0,

and the another one (information not error) the says it has correctly negotiated the protocol version 5.0.

No issue , all is ok, I want to know if this is only a "cosmetic" error that can be safely ignoreted.

I haven't found nothing about this protocol negotiation (no documentation about what is 6.1 ecc..)

Thanks in advance.

Lingering Objects are still alive

Hi All,

We suddenly experienced replication failures in some of our Domain Controllers, replsummary shows that we got error 8606. I ran repadmin /removelingeringobjects PHAD1 f171a4bc-1ca6-4dde-85a7-deb3c1930851 "DC=Asiamedia,DC=com,DC=ph" /Advisory_mode and found out that there are 8 lingering objects. However, upon checking, these objects are actually computers that still exists and alive, and 7 out 8 exists on a same site. If we can't remove these objects yet,  how can we resolve the error in our replication?

And how could this occur if everything in our infra is fine and we didn't experience long outage?

Thanks!

I have deployed a Windows 2016 server as a Hyper-V host.  However the server manager is always showing Red for Local Server and All Servers under Services.  The services are Sync Host_3d6a513 and Downloaded Maps Manager. 

I can start the Sync Host service but the Downloaded Maps Manager starts then stops.  Does not seem to be causing issues but I would like to see a Green status in my Server Manager.  Can I just set these to manual?  Do I even need them?

Server 2012 R2 Updates

I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 Server. I could not get it to connect to windows Update or to my WSUS server to get updates.

It was a clean install on a new blade server.

I needed to install KB2919442 so I could install KB2919355.

I downloaded the .MSU files for both KB's but they would not install, I got the This update not applicable to your system error.

After much yelling and head backing I found this link

https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/askcore/2011/02/15/how-to-use-dism-to-install-a-hotfix-from-within-windows/

I followed the instruction to unpackage the contents of the MSU file and was able to install the KB2919442 using the DISM.exe.

after I ran windows update and the only file that was in the list to install was the KB2919355 update that I needed (yay)

Windows update ran and said complete, I rebooted and then looked and it said the update was not installed

Being Frustrated I decided to go back to the well and use the DISM.exe to install this patch.

When I ran the command I was given an access denied error to the cab file.(booo)

So now I think I broke DISM.exe by not properly cleaning up after the initial install.

Any guidance on how to remove the lock on this would be greatly appreciated

Thank You

RPC server is too busy to complete this operation.

We have a 2008 R2 server that is reporting RPC errors when trying to view the Windows Logs in Event Viewer. We have tried rebooting the server multiple times and when trying to clear the logs we receive a message saying "Event Viewer could not clear the log. The following error occurred: The RPC server is too busy to complete this operation." If we try to look at the Event Viewer remotely we see the error "The RPC server is too busy to complete this operation(1723)" When trying to log into the server it takes MUCH longer to sign-in than usual. This is one of our domain controller servers. I have checked and replication is working without issue.

Windows Update runs forever without finding anything. (According to log, due to error 0x800f0816)

The problem: Windows update is 'checking for updates' forever without finding anything.

According to the update log ( c:\windows\windowsupdate.log ) setup is performed correctly, and updates are found however for every single update the same error occurs: "Handler CBS called Error with 0x800f0816"

 

My OS:newly installed Windows Server 2008 RC2 on a virtual machine via Virtual Box. 

My account type: Administrator. and i do run an elevated command prompt.

Network settings: Firewall completely turned off. Network seems to work fine, full internet access. Connected via cable.

 

I've attempted the following fixes without any success:

1. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 

Couldn't even complete some steps. One step involved deleting a long list of registry entries, most of those couldn't be found in my system. That might be okay, but then the command 'netsh reset winsock' couldn't be found. (running as admin with elevated command prompt) so I couldn't complete this fix.

2. downloaded and installed an older version of 'windows update agent'. didn't make a difference

3. Used 'Sfg /scannow' and found that there weren't any integrity violations

4. tried to access Troubleshooting for windows update. But seems like Troubleshooting service suffers from the same issues as windows update. No troubleshooting options exited, there was an option to download stuff but the download didn't find anything...so might be using same services as win update which would explain why neither of them work.

5.http://www.valogic.net/support/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/105/0/windows-update-takes-forever-checking-for-updates
The command 'proxycfg -d' was not found

 


There seem to be a shitload of forum threads about windows update failing, but I've yet to find any official fixes that work. Keep getting stuck on commands that don't work, registry entries that aren't found etc. Becoming desperate for help...

during new KMS host activation I got the error... click OK. Commit... get error again.

The only way to terminate was Cancel the wizard. Running /dlv shows Positive info. Little glitch :)

The message is funny...

How do I get rid of second 169.254.x.x IPv4 address on Windows Server 2008 SP2 x86?

I'm sure this is an obvious one but can't figure it out.

I have a Winserver 2008 Sp2 (x86) DC with a static IP address allocated to its only NIC.  It seems to have acquired a second 169.254.x.x address automatically which I can't get rid of and which intermittently causes DNS problems (and possibly other) problems.

ipconfig results are shown below:

Any ideas as to how this might have happened and how I get rid of it (a simple re-boot doesn't do the job).
