Boot from software RAID 1 (second disk) doesnt work

November 1, 2011, 6:37 am

Hello,

I would like to ask you for help with windows sw RAID 1. Firstly, shortly, about my configuration. I have installed win 2008 R2 enterprise, I have 2x 250GB HDD and I need to create sw RAID 1. I dont have hw RAID, so I have to use windows RAID (configuration in disk management).

I created RAID 1 in disk management from both of the disk. It seemed that it worked until I tried to boot from the second HDD. BTW. When I pull out  2. HDD, so the server boot correct from 1.HDD (thats the HDD where I installed Windows). BUT when I pull out 1. HDD and want to boot just from 2 HDD it doesnt work. What does it do? When I turn on the server I can see check information (CPU RAM HDD and so on) and then server DOESNT  start boot  BUT it restart itself and then again and again. I am sure that all settings in BIOS are OK.

So if you have same useful clue, I want to appreciate it.

Here is screen from my configuration from disk management.

Can not set up DHCP failover

I had a question 

"How does one check is DHCP server is authorized by AD DS?"

This thread moved into setting up DHCP failover. I decided to open new question for the DHCP failover. The link https://www.faqforge.com/windows-server-2016/configure-dhcp-failover-windows-server-2016/ was provided. When I try to follow the instructions for the Windows Server 2016, I can accept the scope, can add the partner server Windows server 2019, and the Relationship name looks Ok. However, the Next button is greyed out. What else is required for this to work?

Windows Server 2019 Bare Metal Recovery to What?

If I look at the Windows Backup (Windows Server 2016 is the same), it says Back up to a hard disk that is dedicated for backups (recommended) 

Choose this option for the safest way to store backup. The hard disk that you use will be formatted and then dedicated to only store backups. 

The link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENqzDiDUxAI shows the procedure. However, the author has an Oracle VM VirtualBox to create 100G locations. I do not have Oracle VM VirtualBox. 

I thought I might use 100G USB drive. However, Dell support did not think that was a good idea. 

I talked to Dell Sales who solution is to sacrifice standard hard drive for the clause. 

What 100G space can I use for the backup that requires the space to be reformatted?

Error 1920: "MetaCommunications Services Watcher" (MetaCommServicesWatcher) failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system service."

While trying to install third party software "Metacomm server component" , i'm getting an error
"Error 1920: "MetaCommunications Services Watcher" (MetaCommServicesWatcher) failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system service."

All the goggling suggests this is not a 3rd issue... its a common Windows generic error.. And i've tried adding "Administrator" group to gpedit, User rights management, Running the .exe as admin. and extending the timeout in registry Windows to wait for longer for a service to start..

Event viewer points to "it cannot start in a timely manner" which suggested me to increase that in registry, but it didn't help, with the only other error in event view stated above.

I'm running Windows 2008 R2.. SQL server 2008, with all SQL services running, including SQLAgent. However i don't think SQL is related to this...

But all of the "fixes/workarounds" i've tried, have failed..

During install, when the error appears, the service is listed in services.msc, I have tried to enter my local credentials under "logon" but i guess this won't work when 'installing' software, only when issues when service not starting when ''logging into windows'

In any case, what how can i fix this?

We're helping a consolidate forests, and we need to install a new KMS server.  Our client does not have the KMS Host Key.  They don't have an Enterprise Agreement, and the client believes they purchased the KMS Host Key through CDW, but CDW doesn't have a record.  The client believes they received the KMS Host Key when they purchased the server.  This happened a long time ago.

Are there any options for recovering our client's KMS host key?

Does our client have to get a new one?

Looking for Windows6.0-KB976674-v3-x86.msu for Server 2008 SP2 32-bit (Vista-based), but it's nowhere to be found. We're trying to migrate from this server, but in the meantime, we're getting killed with service timeouts (Event ID 7011 errors), and this hotfix is supposed to address the issue.

https://web.archive.org/web/20150204142417/http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976674

Is this superceded by a different hotfix? I can't find any info on it other than the file name and archived page above.

Notepad/Editor Selection Behavior - Select with mouse and usage of cursor right key

While connecting to a windows server via the remote desktop app i experienced the following bug in notepad.

Example text:


"One Two Three"

Select the substring "Two" with mouse, beginning at the 'o' and ending at the 'T'.

Press Cursor-Right-Key-> the caret is between the 'T' and the 'w'

If you select the substring beginning at the 'T' and ending at the 'o' and press the Cursor-Right-Key the caret is now infront of the 'T' of the substring 'Three' (not as excepted after the 'o').

I tried to reproduce the Bug in wordpad. But in both test cases the caret is after the 'o'.

This behavior can also be observed in a .NET application, which uses WinForms and the including textbox Controls.


The bug occured in Windows Server versions 2008, 2012, 2016 though not in 2019. It couldn't be reproduced on Windows 10 (also not if connected via remote desktop).

Hi,

Yesterday, we noticed that two (out of three) RDS servers that are running on Windows Server 2019 started having some issues.

When our users try starting Outlook, a window pops up and says (translated from Swedish) that "It's not possible to connect right now. Check the network and try again in a while". Internet access and browsing does however work without any issues.

I signed in with an administrative account and I can see that the network symbol has a yellow warning sign. If I click on it, it will say that it's connected to the domain but that there is no Internet access.

We did some troubleshooting and eventually ended up restoring the VMs to a point before the February patches had been installed, thinking it was related to those. However, there was no difference. The issue is still there.

Now, I've been trying to troubleshoot this in every way I could think of. I've have

  • Checked the logs, cannot find anything that seems to be related to this
  • Reset TCP/IP
  • sfc /scannow
  • dism
  • Switched from static to dynamic IP
  • Tried a different gateway and DNS servers
  • Removed virtual NIC and created a new one, even with different drivers
  • A bunch more things that I can't think of now.

When I eventually figured I'd install Wireshark (with npcap) to sniff some traffic, it miraculously started working. I reset to snapshot and tried again with the same result - working. I tried it on the second RDS with the same issue - it works. I even tried applying the patches and removed Wireshark and it still works. However, to get it working it actually requires that you start a logging session. 

No, I can't seem to get my mind around this but it feels as if something is wrong with the Windows network stack but I don't really know what else to do about it. I'm not really happy about seeing this as good enough, I would rather understand the issue and try to apply a "real fix" as I'm not sure if this is going to be a permanent solution.

I would appreciate any help with this.

Cheers.
