I have try to adjust the screen server time and other power settings.

The screen server setting under user configuration/policies/administrative templates/control panel/personalization/force specific screen saver was set to %windir%\system32\rundll32.exe user32.dll,LockWorkStation. The time was set to 600 seconds, the password protect screen saver was enable and the screen saver was enable, but I did not get past 4 minutes, when it should have waiting 10 minutes to lock the user. 

The power settings did not do anything. 

I need a way to control the time the lock screen will take to appear. Thanks in advance for the help. 

AD Based Activation - Office 2016 on Win7

Can I use Active Directory Based Activation to activate Office 2016 on a Windows 7 device?

I understand ADBA cannot be used to activate Win7 but I'm not clear if that applies only to the OS or if it includes other products installed on Win7.

I have ADBA activating Win8 devices, and Office 2013/2016 on Win8 devices but I'm getting OOB Grace for Office 2016 on Win7 devices. Normally I'd chalk it up to be being unsupported but these Win7 devices are from another client and configured differently. So, different SOE in the same environment.

Decommission 2003 Server on the Domain

Hi Team,

Kindly need some advise,

Current Scenario

I have a 2003 Domain controller server, i recently built 2 VMs, DC1 and DC2 2012R2 and installed Active Directory, having them replicating.

I have migrated the FSMO roles to DC01 and DC02, my forest and domain levels are 2003,

My Requirements

  • I would like to Decommission the 2003 as a domain controller, leaving DC1 as primary and DC2 secondary
  • I would want the server to remain online as it also host print server role which eventually over time i will migrate as well
  • Raise the domain and forest functional level to Server 2012 R2
  • I would require this done without any downtime or affecting any user

Kindly assist.

Thank you.

Hi guys, I am trying to Map a Drive to some users account in my Netowrk. I want the drive to host a kind of Dropbox type folder where students can drop work into the folder but can't access the folder to make changes or see what's in it only a teacher can. I know how to do it with the Mac OD & I know it can be done on the AD network but can't seem to get it working. Anyone ever tried this?

Measure total wait time for an executable

$

I am looking for a way to evaluate the degree to which performance is an issue for a certain application used by numerous users working on Windows Server 2003.

I know Windows 10 allows to display a process's CPU wait time, but my basic need is a measure of a process's total wait time - not just CPU wait time. I expect most of the processing time to be spent waiting after a reply from another server.

An ideal solution could be used before the application is started, not just on a specific process. We would want a total for all instances of executable foo.exe, not just one instance.

I am interested in any solutions to the above problem, but a solution would be a lot more useful if it applied to Windows Server 2003.

Why does my robocopy can´t use more than 2 Gbps? A single procces can use the full potential of the NIC teaming?

$

Why does my robocopy can´t use more than 2 Gbps? A single procces can use the full potential of the NIC teaming?

I have 2 Win2012R2 Physical Servers with 4 1Gbps LAN adapters each, configured in LACP using Windows NIC Teaming

So, i have 4 Gbps link in each server, pottentially allowing copying files form server to another (SMB) using a full 4 Gbps data-link.

But...

If i use robocopy SOURCE DESTINATION, the copy uses only 99% of one 0,9 Gbps LAN adapter

after i´ve changed the /MT:128, using muti-threaded, i could achive 1,9 Gbps, therefore, 99% of the maximum aggretae of 2 NICs

What i was expecting? That i could see files being copied using the full 4 Gbps theoretical max of the aggregated link

IN the past i saw a lot of limitations like this one, where ArcServe (for instance) could use only one LAN adapter/1 Gbps because it was a single proccess, so a single proccess couldn´t use more than what is being  provided by a single NIC

It´s is really true?

Only multi-threaded procces can traspass the 1 Gbps limit and transfer data really aggreagting all LAN adapters?

If so, why does robocopy, even using the /MT:128 parameter, allowing 128 threads, uses only 50% of the aggreaged 4 Gbps link?


smartcard login is not supported for your account

Hello,

I recently deployed certificate services in my domain with an offline root and enterprise sub CA. Both CA's are Windows server 2012 R2. I deployed certificates to my domain controllers which are running windows server 2008 R2.They both have a domain controller ceritificate, directory email replication cert, kerberos authentication cert, and domain controller authentication cert. I understand that having those certs is a requirement for using smart card authentication for logging into domain joined machines. 

However, when trying to login to a test box, the login prompt says "Smart card logons are not supported for your user account" and logs this error code 29  on the server "The KDC cannot find a suitable certificate to use for smart card logons, or the KDC certificate could not be verified." it says to verify the existing KDC certificate which I do have. 

I ran certutil -DCInfo, here are the results below:

Newbie : Impact of KB3178465 : Known Issue : Please simplify

Hello All,

Could someone please simplify the meaning of the "Known Issue" published this Patch Tuesday (09-Aug-2016)  for  KB3178465 ? Thanks.

How may I test its impact on 2008/2012 servers (these are joined to domain)? Please help. Thanks.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3178465

Known issues in this security update

  • This security update disables the ability of the Negotiate process to fall back to NTLM when Kerberos authentication fails for password change operations. 

    Currently, the ability to change the passwords of disabled or locked-out accounts is supported only by NTLM. It is not supported by the Kerberos protocol. This security update prevents the Negotiate process from falling back to NTLM for password change operations when Kerberos authentication fails. Therefore, you will no longer be able to change the password for disabled or locked-out accounts after you install this security update. It is not secure to change disabled or locked-out user account passwords by using NTLM. This is why the ability of Negotiate to fall back to NTLM is disabled by this security update.

    Note Even though you can no longer change the password for disabled or locked accounts, you can set the password by using Active Directory-based tools.

WSMan operation CreateShell failed, error code 2150858770

I am having a very similar problem to this forum poster:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/4ecb3b43-039a-4c34-9be5-5825bbf82817/microsoftwindowswindows-remote-management-error-id-142?forum=winservergen

I am unable to use administrative powershell to execute Enter-PSSession -ComputerName localhost.

I've followed all the usual troubleshooting guides I can find, and have found nothing that has worked thus far.

I am receiving the following error log under Event Viewer > Windows Event Logs > Applications and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > Windows Remote Management > Operational

WSMan operation CreateShell failed, error code 2150858770

The full detail of the event log entry below.

I have followed the Advice of Arthur_Li in the referenced forum post as follows:

Please perform the following steps to check the issue can be fixed.

Create the following Dwords under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP\Parameters

  • MaxFieldLength
    • Dword
    • Value 65534 (Decimal)
  • MaxRequestBytes
    • Dword
    • Value 40000 (Decimal)

Reboot the server for the changes to take effect.

This advice appears to have worked for Funkyboogaloo. But it hasn't resolved the problem I'm having.

I am experiencing this issue on Windows 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 64-bit.
