Hello.
Of late on windows server 2008 r2
There are 2 Nic's one for internal and one for customer.The system was stable till last week and all of a sudden the Nic external stopped talking to the default gateway. .If we try to ping the first time we would have a reply and the rest of the three would
time out.....tried all possible options.. driver updates ,arp clear ,re installed new nics , reset nic , everything possible which was generally not needed as nothing has changed on the server.Any ideas on how to proceed would be highly appreciated. .
Thank you for your time.

I have a customer with two identical Dell servers. They both had Server 2003R2, and are both DC's. I did an inplace upgrade on the primary server in December to Server 2008 SP2 STD x86 without issue. I have since gone onsight to upgrade the second server to 2008 and the installation fails at the "Gathering Files" part of the installation.
I have tried new medai, checked the event log. All I get is a popup that says "Installation encountered and error and cannot continue" and then I am back to the 2003 desktop. All of the pre-work completed without fail as to the domain prep etc. I cannot find any reference on line as to this issue save for a few regarding Vista. I know Vista and Server 2008 SP2 are the same kernal, but the one solution I found was to remove user accounts, which i cannot do as its AD controller.
Please advise, as this is a remote customer and I only get on site 2 to 3 times a year and this upgrade is behind schedule. Thank you in advance for your asistance.

I am after a PowerShell script which can check for OS ,check channel for example if it is on MAK then replace it with a KMS channel and then update windows with a generic KMS key and then activate windows . From command prompt I achieve it using
slmgr /dlv - >to check for channel, If its set to MAK then replace it to KMS using
slmgr /ipk "KMS generic key as per OS Version "
and then activate windows using
slmgr /ato

I am running a domain that consists of mostly 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2 machines. The problem is that the application we're hosting is 32-bit and none of the performance counters it includes have 64-bit instances.
As a health monitoring initiative, I am working on putting together a web page that displays the status of a set of services, as well as other varied statistics of these servers and does so in a central location. The problem I have with this is that I cannot view these 32-bit performance counters remotely, no matter what I try.
I have enabled and started the Performance Counter DLL Host, Performance Logs & Alerts and the Remote Registry services on all of my servers, but this has had no effect. Even locally, when I launch the 64-bit perfmon.msc, the counters are not visible (I don't know if I should have expected them to be).
Is there any way to make 32-bit performance counters visible remotely? What am I missing?
OK, first, before someone suggests it, NO I cannot activate the system since it is attached to a medical device and activation would break the install procedure and cause issues with the FDA's requirements.
We have been building these systems for our customer for many many years. The image was built using an in house development server (I do not have access to) and licensed and activated with specific models of hardware that must conform to a specific BOM. We have been able to source most of the items and when Supermicro announced the motherboard was going EOL, we contracted with them to build as many as they had chip sets to go with them (~1300 boards). We bought up as many server 2003R2 licenses as we could (~1500), and the CPU's to go in the boards (~3000 Xeon 5160's). Part of the requirement for a successful build is after the image is restored (using Ghost) is no activation request. Last week one system in particular is now throwing up a re-activation box. I can activate the system, BUT that is a failure on the machine check QA and fails the install.
I need to find out WHY Windows is asking for re-activation. All of the parts are the same model number and Firmware revisions as the original build and I have swapped parts out 3 times (5 motherboards) and still have the same issue. If I could get a report as to why it is asking for activation, I could track down the issue (could be a newer rev part on the motherboard) and contact the vendor to make it right. The problem is, there is no way to read the wpa.dbl file to get this information.
Would it be possible to send this file to Microsoft and have them decode it and tell me what is causing the issue?
Does the firmware for things like video cards, raid controllers and IPMI/BIOS matter to the WPA check?
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hey there,
I'm running into a problem trying to bind an SSL cert to port 8080 and can't seem to get this to work (using Netsh).
The interesting thing is that this exact command works perfect on Server 2012 and Server 2008 R2, however it doesn't work with Server 2008 32-bit (Exact same procedures from a clean image). I'm using the same cert on all of the test platforms, I just can't get 2008 32-bit to work.
Here is the command with the output.
C:\>netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:8080 certhash=xxx-xxx-xxx appid={...}
SSL Certificate add failed, Error: 1312
A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated.I've seen many similar posts through search engines with the exact same error. However, it appears this particular error is vague and can have many different root causes.
Any help/leads would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
hello support,
I have install 2 virtual machine in server 2012 r2.
1. One virtual machine Server 2012 R2 configure ADFS and access login home page but not login. server ip 172.16.1.62
2. 2nd Virtual Machine server 2012 R2 install web application Proxy (ip address 172.16.1.72) but not configured. give the error "An error occurred when attempting to establish a trust relationship with the federation service. Error: The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel"
How we can configured web application Proxy and connect ADFS server.
Hi all,
I have KMS host windows 2012 standard R2.
I configured it fine and discovered some clients to check license status.
I tried to open volume activation tools again from start. I typed the kms host under key management service and it went to skip the configuration. here I am getting "Access is denied error". how ever I am domain admin and added to administrators group on KMS host. but still access is denied on the wizard.
if I run the volume activation tools using local administrator it works fine. why it is so?
let me know thanks

I am using invoke-webrequest command to load a file on server with POST command, and the file does get loaded. However the command hangs in console until I hit enter.
Here's what I m executing:
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method POST -ContentType $ContentType -Headers $headerHash -InFile $filePath -TimeoutSec $timeOut
I am running powershell 3.0 on win2k12.
I ran the command with Verbose on, and it ask for confirmation to run the command as below. However when I provided -confirm:$true, invoke-webrequest suggests that there's no confirm command. I am not sure how to proceed.
Confirm
Continue with this operation?

Dear all,
I was successfully able to create in Certificate Services root CA for 20 years, issued a certificate and login using smartcard using the following procedure:
1. I increased the CA lifetime to 20 years by using this link http://www.expta.com/2010/08/how-to-create-certificates-with-longer.html
Created the file CAPolicy.inf in %SYSTEMROOT% with following content
[Version]
Signature=”$Windows NT$”
[certsrv_server]
RenewalValidityPeriod=Years
RenewalValidityPeriodUnits=20
2. Renew CA root using this guide https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc780374(v=ws.10).aspx
Console Root -> Certification Authority -> select domain -> Right click -> All Tasks -> Renew CA certificate
3. Delete from Console Root -> Certificates (local computer) -> Trusted Root Certification Authority -> Certificates the *WINSC-CA that has the previous lower validity, and from
Certificates (local computer) -> Personal, the *WINSC-CA that was lower validity
4. I performed a reboot here
5. Change in Console Root -> Certificate Templates -> Smartcard Logon Custom Template (my custom duplicate template) -> Properties -> Validity 10 years
6. Change in registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CertSvc\Configuration\<CAName>\ValidityPeriod to value 10 for 10 years.
7. Request a new certificate from CA webpage http://ipofdomain/certsrv and let the webpage write it to smartcard (I was making sure there is no other certificate on the smartcard)
8. Try to log in. At this point it should throw an erorr that smartcard logon is not supported for this account type. This is becuase we need to enroll it again for domain authentication
9. Console Root -> Certificates (local Computer) -> Personal -> Right click -> All Tasks -> Request new Certificate -> Next -> Active Directory Enrollment -> Next -> Select Domain Controller Authentication -> Enroll -> Finish.
Now you should be able to login using your smartcard and 10 years generated certificate.
Though I have a problem at step 3, after CA server reboots the *WINSC-CA certificate with lower validity is restored automatically, but the certificates are generated for 10 years.
What am I doing wrong ? How can I delete the lower validity root CA ?
"The WmiSE service has reported an invalid current state 0." error continuouls fatched in system logs of event viewer on server 2008 R2.and i want to know and also stop that error.
I may have made an incorrect assumption when creating my RDS farm.
I've split the servers over two sites, and enabled netmask ordering. This seems to work well for the most part however there are multiple subnets available on each site. I made the assumption that netmask ordering weights:
1. Similarity of IP
2. Membership to that AD site
Looks to me that is not correct?
For instance the RDS Farm1 is on the 192.168.10.x subnet on Site1 in AD. All clients on 192.168.10.x connect to this farm fine however 192.168.3.x is also at this site, it seems to just round robin across both of the farms.
So first question, is it correct to say that AD site is irrelevant in netmask ordering?
Second question, does anyone have any advice on making this work how I expect it to? Would adding a secondary IP on each RDS server (on the 192.168.3.x) do what I was mistakenly expecting it to do?
Hi,
Server becomes non-responsive and unable to pass through the login. After reboot it works fine.
OS is Server 2008 STD.
Whenever this issue happens, server will not pass through the login. It will come back to the CTRL+ALT+DEL screen after entering the credentials. Same thing happens with vm Console too.
Could anyone please look into it and help with your valuable suggestions ?
Many Thanks,

I have assigned ora_dba group to the user that runs the Oracle VSS Writer Service which is the only Oracle solution but still getting the above error. Was advised to raise the issue here that it is an OS issue. Pls help
