hi, You can read this article from MS: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725925.aspx and if you need a video, look for "install dns server windows 2008" in youtube. Once you are finished with the DNS servers, I can tell you how to configure dns to point at the right server.

Hi there, You have to install 2 DC, then on your DNS, create a pointer with n1 mapped to the first DNS_IP and n2 to DNS2_IP. I don't know if this is the answer... but this is the way to create 2 dns...

Hi there, Maybe I'm not understanding your problem... but you CANNOT have 2 identical names on the same domain. You can set the same name but you CANNOT plug in the network cable. The only solution I can see is to create another domain and put yours servers there. Actually, if you want to have five servers called "appserver" you have to create 5 domains. Take a look here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=C7D4BC6D-15F3-4284-9123-679830D629F2&displaylang=en and here: http://www.curuit.com/sysprep-unattend-file-in-windows-server-2008-20071228101/ They can be helpful... Let me know.

Hi there, Enjoy your stay :)

Hi there, DHCP requests are made with broadcast packets, this works ONLY behind a router, once a router receive a broadcast packet, it simply drops it. To be able to forward request through a router, you have to setup a DHCP relay server. I hope this help.

you have to change this policy in the Default Domain Policy GPO not in local policy. Let me know.

yes you can: To disable Internet printing using Group Policy As needed, see Appendix B, "Learning About Group Policy and Updating Administrative Templates," and then edit an appropriate GPO. Click Computer Configuration, click Administrative Templates, and then click Printers. In the details pane, double-click Web-based Printing. Select Disabled.

Ok I will try :)

Hi there. When you click on a printer (from your browser), you should see PRINTER ACTIONS, click there and select CONNECT. Let me know

Hi there. Right click computer > properties > remote access > add users > type DOMAIN ADMINS. Also remember that you must use this format to login: Username@domain Cheers

Retry and look here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/815224 EventLog.txt

Well of course you have to put the real IP (192.168.0.2) eheh

Open your DNS and add a new A record: Name: big-rig2 (yes with number 2) IP: IP_big-rig Add AAAA record: Name: big-rig2 IPv6: IP_v6_big-rig Add a CNAME: from BIG-RIG2 to BIG-RIG Flush DNS's cache.

It's quite easy, open GPO: User Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Drive Maps There you can create a new share, let's say: \\MyServer\ShareName if you want to map the personal folder, simply use variables: \\MyShare\%username% cheers

That's nice :) Thanks for sharing results!

This is interesting, never heard before. I've developed some scripts with PS but I never tried to use it to manage the server! Have you any resource for that? Commands,...

Hi there, You can force it via GP: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc947805(WS.10).aspx Pay attention, your clients WILL NOT BE ABLE TO LOGIN ANYMORE if you set the wrong setting. This is also true for network shares / disks. ps: do not cross post / double post :)

So, as said, you have to put this rule on the PRIMARY policy. Regarding the delay, it could be a EXPIRE problem. I had the same "issue", because I set up a policy to change users's password every 90 days, but not every person had to change it at the same day. I think it depends on when the users has been created. Also check the "password never expires".

Here you can find a complete explenation: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755937(WS.10).aspx Anyway, open domain and trust and remove the "secondary" server (DELETE / DEMOTE / REMOVE). Then, do the same thing on the "first" DC. You can use DCPROMO on both servers, it's up to you. If you have 2 servers, you have to demote BOTH starting from the "secondary".

Hi and welcome. Can you confirm that this policy is not activated? start > run > gpedit.msc > User config > Administrative template > start menu and taskbar > REMOVE ALL PROGRAMS LIST FROM START MENU. Additionally, can you post a print screen for this problem? Thanks.

This is the point. You have to install a GUI to manage the server... What I mean is that in linux you can install a webserver without the GUI and manage it trough SSH. I think MS should implement something more...

Ok, now we just need to set up NETLOGON properly, because it's trying to start with the wrong server's name (big-rig 2). Now the point is: how to point netlogon to the right name? Let's try this first: Open the registry and select your computer, press CTRL+F and type big-rig2 and also check "Match whole string only". Once a result has been found, rename it to big-rig. After that press F3 (find next) and continue until the end. Once done, restart the server and open a command prompt and type: net start netlogon and let me know if it's working or it gives you the same error.

Can you please DELETE all the entries for IPv6? I see there's a zone for IPv6 and a A record. Also the two A records have the same "weight", when the DC try to use the IPv6 it doesn't work. We must delete everything related to IPv6!

I think you're right. Please confirm.
