Can I Virtualize ALL My DC’s In the Domain?

admin

With the advent of Windows Server 2012 R2, Microsoft has worked diligently to provide support for virtualization and allow corporations to reduce costs by virtualizing as much hardware as possible. New features in 2012 R2 help prevent USN rollback and/or Lingering objects via the new VM-Generation ID.  If a guest o/s is restored from a snapshot the VM-Generation Id that is stored in the DIT (msDS-GenerationID attribute on the DC’s computer object) is compared to the value on the Host.  If they don’t match then the Invocation-Id is updated with a new value and any RID’s from the machine are replaced with a new set from the RID Master.

So the question is, “Do I need a physical DC in my Domain?”  Continue reading “Can I Virtualize ALL My DC’s In the Domain?” →

DNS Zone Types Explained

Ace here again. I thought to touch base on DNS zones, and more so, focus on what AD integrated zones are and how they work. This blog almost mimics my class lecture on this topic. Check back for updates periodically, which I will notate with a timestamp above with whatever I’ve added or modified.

10 Reasons Why Group Policy Fails to Apply

admin

Group Policy can be difficult to design, implement, and troubleshoot unless you are fully aware of the foundational concepts that drive Group Policy with Active Directory. There are many moving parts with Group Policy, not to mention the reliance that Group Policy has on Active Directory functioning properly. When making changes within a Group Policy Object (GPO) in hopes for a desired outcome, only to have Group Policy not working correctly can be very frustrating.

many article is founded in internet about its problems. one of the best articles about reason for failing apply GPO is writen by derek melber. please check these links

Server 2008R2 SP1 reboot and Srv2.sys Driver Hotfix

admin

last week , i try to work with Windows 2008 R2 server but my system restart frequently . after research i find Reboot problem. If these servers are using File Share or SMB v.2, srv2.sys may cause this problem.

Srv2.sys driver is root cause of this problem.

This is SMB 2.0 server driver. You can download hotfix KB2552033  for Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 with your own risk until Microsoft officially release it.
