New Windows 10 computers getting temporary profiles.
by Guest draymond- 0 replies
- 235 views
I am doing a general systems upgrade of a small business. The business was working with Windows 7 laptops and a Server 2008 Domain Controller. The new windows 10 laptops were able to be joined to the domain and users were able to log in but when they tried to log in they always get temporary profiles. Thinking that it may have been a problem with the functional level of the old server I continued and installed a new Server with Windows Server 2016, made it a DC, promoted it to be the FSMO, used dcpromo to remove the old DC (it is still present and acting as a file server). And finally increased the domain functional level to Windows 2016. However the new laptops stil…

DFS Replication problem
by Guest draymond- 0 replies

I am doing a general upgrade/move of a small business. Server A is an old Server 2008 server that used to be an AD DC and file server Server B is the new Server 2016 Server that is the new AD DC and file server. As part of the transition I have set up DFS between A and B and mapped several shares between them. They appear correctly in DFS management and Verify. But they are not cross updating. When I run a diagnostic health report from DFS Management the report returns one error for each Server A reports "Domain Controller Unreachable" and Server B reports Communications Errors are preventing replication with <Server A Name> Continue reading...

Can't Install Server 2019 KMS Key on 2016 Host
by Guest VinceD800- 0 replies
- 252 views
Bit of a strange one. Yesterday I got the KMS keys for Server 2019 enabled in VLSC, but I'm having problems adding them to the current KMS host which is running Server 2016. To confirm, the key which shows up in VLSC is labelled as "Windows Srv 2019 DataCtr/Std KMS" so is definitely a server KMS key and not a desktop one. I'm using the command slmgr -ipk to install the license key. The following error is displayed: If we look in the event log: Not sure how to resolve this one. To confirm the server is fully up to date and the latest cumulative update installed is KB4457127. Continue reading...

Dead DC - How to Recover Proper
by Guest forgiven- 0 replies
- 271 views
2 DC's (DC0 and DC1) DC0 was server 2016 and this is the one that died. DC1 is server 2012 R2. Now obviously, DC1 is the only functioning DC on the network. My thought is to create another VM and install server 2016, keep the server name and ip address. Install AD role as the "backup" DC, let all the syncronzations happen and then transfer roles to the server 2016 server. Is that the best and quickest way to recover from a dead DC? The DC's run AD, DNS and folder redirection Continue reading...

DisableNameChecking on windows 2016 server participating in a cluster
by Guest Neile Bermudes- 0 replies
- 242 views
Hi all I've been asked to set up a share on one of our production SQL servers. I have, but I cannot seem to get to the share remotely using the DNS alias set up for the server. It does work however if you use the actual server name. Problem is, this server is part of an failover cluster and i don't want to hard code any server names into jobs, connection strings, packages etc - everything should point to the alias so that in the event of a failover, we don't have to go around changing hard coded connections every where. I've done some research and sounds like this can be resolved by adding the DisableStrictNameChecking DWORD value to the registry and setting it to 1. I…

Why does Server 2016 have airplane mode?
by Guest tom12345678910111213- 0 replies
- 249 views
I had a client call in this morning because their domain controller was in airplane mode. I thought she had to be mistaken but when I arrived she was not. It took a reboot before it would turn off. (I.e. simply clicking the icon or flipping the switch didn't turn it off.) Everything I have seen doing searches have been related to drivers for hardware airplane mode buttons on laptops. I have not found a single article for Server 2016. I have other 2016 servers that I manage that have the button removed from the notification center and control panel. So I know it's possible but I can't find where to make these changes. I'm assuming something in the registry. So my que…

- 218 views
Hello, we have few W2016 servers (file server role), where we dont want to give administrator access. People working with this servers (low-level admins) still should add Local Groups to folders/files. We have added them into print operators (specific reason, dont ask). On W2008R2 with same permission, they are able to enumerate local groups. (properties on shared folder => security tab => ...) On W2016, the see only default groups on the server, but not groups which are added manually (by admins). With my admin account, i see the groups without problem. So, which permissions are required to see local groups on the server? Regards, Meky Continu…
