Hello! Status I installed one software with the adminsitrator with AD Domain. After installing it, I can see the shortcut in the menu with the administrator of localhost.

Critcal Services broken and/or missing after a crypto attack
by Guest JFriesz83- 0 replies

Earlier this Fall we had a attack that encrypted some of our servers and we are seeing some of the repercussions now. We paid to have get the key to decyrpt the files and I believe some of these cleanup efforts may of broken a few of our 2016 servers. Some of the cleanup was running a application with psexec at system level to decrypt files. Here is what behavior we are seeing mainly on file servers and a DC. Shares are not accessible. Only way we have found to allow this as a workaround is stop the BFE service. It seems the Firewall service is also corrupt because when we attempt to start the service it fails with "Windows could not start the Windows Firewall …

Can ping, but cannot browse or use TCP out on server
by Guest ArDrex- 0 replies
- 264 views
I have a strange issue that I cannot seem to figure out on a WS2016 VM on ESXi. I can ping out by DNS name or IP. However, I cannot browse the internet, access an external FTP etc. I used Wireshark and saw many re-transmission events. Checked the ACL logs on the firewall and saw that the return traffic was being blocked to this VM. Sounds like an ACL ior NAT ssue...except that it was working before. I also can shut this down, take another VM, give it the same IP, DNS, Gateway etc as this one and it works fine. Likewise, if I change the IP on this VM to something else that works (while its offline), the same things happens, no browsing etc. I was able to vmotion …

Problem: go to control panel - printers and devices. Click Add a printer. Select the printer that I want isn't listed. Add a local or network printer as admin. Add printer using tcp/ip. Enter IP address of printer. Next "contacting printer", "detecting tcp/ip port". "Additional port info required".....wrong! I have done this on this server many many times. normally it finds the printer and installs the correct driver. This printer is on the same subnet as the server and the server can ping it just fine. I have three other printers the same make and model already installed. This printer was working but on occasion, the server seems to lose track and the normal fix was r…

SCONFIG is set to [Windows Update Settings: Manual] GPO is set to [Configure Automatic Updates: Disabled] and [Allow Automatic Updates immediate installation: Disabled] However the GUI says "Available updates will be downloaded and installed automatically" (Caveat - All of my servers say this, even the one's that DON'T install or restart on their own) I can't have these servers rebooting, there are programs that need to be started after reboot so we schedule the downtime with our Dev team.

by Guest Mikey_boy4million- 0 replies
- 1.1k views
Hi everyone, I have been scouring the forums for this issue and found many useful things, unfortunately none have resolved my issue. The situation is there are 4 Server 2016 nodes, configured as a stretched cluster, with 2 nodes at each site (Site A active/Site B passive). Attached to each pair of servers is a JBOD configured via HBA (multi-I/O). Storage Replica is used in asynchronous mode to keep the redundant site up to date (SSD logs/HDD data). There was a power failure on the primary and in order for the destination volume to brought out of read only mode I had to remove the replication.
