Print Server on Windows Server Core x64 for x86 Windows Clients

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 14:19:15 Z

Hello,

I have here a Windows Server 2008 R2 Core Edition. It should be used as Print Server, File Server, DNS, DHCP, WINS and DC. Therefore I have installed the following features:

WindowsServerBackup
WindowsServerBackupCommandlet
DNS-Server-Core-Role
DirectoryServices-DomainController....
ActiveDirectory-PowerShell
DFSR-Infrastructure-ServerEdition
DHCPServerCore
DFSN-Server
WINS-SC
Printing-ServerCore-Role
Printing-LPDPrintService
Printing-ServerCore-Role-WOW64
ServerCore-EA-IME
NetFx2-ServerCore
NetFx3-ServerCore
MicrosoftWindowsPowerShell
ServerManager-PSH-Cmdlets
BestPractices-PSH-Cmdlets
ServerMigration
ServerCore-WOW64
FSRM-Infrastructure-Core
CoreFileServer

Additional I installed on the Print Server two printer with x86 and x64 drivers. Then I shared those printers and set a GPO to install it for all users. On all Windows Clients the installation of both printers are successfull. I'm able to see the printers on 32-Bit and 64-Bit Windows Clients. Also I'm able to edit the printer settings.

Now I want to print a test file...

=> On all 64-Bit Windows 7 Clients there are no problems. After some seconds I get the printed paper from the printer.

=> On all 32-Bit Windows 7 Clients I'm not able to print the test file. Also I'm not able to print the Windows test file. The error message isn't really a help: The test site wasn't able to print. Would you like to open the printer problem handling? (The printer problem handling found no solution.)

It seems to me, that the problem is the print server. Did I forget something to install? Maybe there is some feature missing for Windows x86 Clients?

Manually installing network card drivers

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 01:01:03 Z

This is actually for Hyper-V Server.

If I have the following files for my network card (from the Vista x64 driver install zip):
-a---    24/11/2009 8:52 PM       143830 yk62x64.cat
-a---    24/11/2009 8:52 PM       496128 yk62x64.dll
-a---    24/11/2009 8:52 PM      1345564 yk62x64.inf
-a---    24/11/2009 8:52 PM       395264 yk62x64.sys

Can I manually place these files in the proper directories to get my NIC working?

WMI Query Fails when executing through MSI on windows server 2008 R2 Core

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 09:13:20 Z

Hello,

I am trying to execute following WMI Queries on Windows server 2008 R2 Core

Dim objWMI, objItem, colItems
Dim strComputer,
' Here is where we interrogate the Operating System
' Get the computer name dot = this computer.
    strComputer = "."
    ' This is where WMI interrogates the operating system
    Set objWMI = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
    Set colItems = objWMI.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_OperatingSystem",,48)

When Executing this query using normal vbscript works fine.
But this queries when made part of an msi it fails.

Can anybody explain me the issue and if any hotfix is available from microsoft for the same.

Enabel nic but don't know network name

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:41:03 Z

Hi,

I have a server that has two NICs disabled. I can see them in Device Manager when connecting remotely but can't enable them there is device manager is read only. My next idea was to use the netsh interface set interface name="Local Area Connection xy" admin=enabled command. But to do so, I would need the interfaces name. This name is not visible in device manager. I tried Local Area Connection 1, 2, 3 and so on but was not successfull.

How can I determine the network name if I know the device name?

Regards,
Dominik

wmic product get name /value - not showing 32-bit products on 64-bit OS

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 13:20:28 Z

If I run "wmic product get name /value" on WS08 R2 Server Core, it does not list 32-bit apps.
How do I get these apps listed so ultimately I can then run the unstinstall (Wmic product where name=”<name>” call uninstall)?

The apps are there in the registry, but under the WoW6432Node.

How to disable the Windows firewall using the command shell...

Wed, 18 Jul 2007 11:59:14 Z

After installing Windows Server 2008 Core you might want to disable the integrated firewall. You can perfom that by using the following command:

netsh firewall set opmode mode=disable

This disables the integrated firewall completely and should only be used in isolated environments, e. g. you have a corporate firewall or the core server stands in an isolated test environment.

There are also some options for adding firewall rules. But I didn't have the time to figure them out yet. Hope the posted command will help you so long...

Unable to join Core 2008 to a domain

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:46:20 Z

I am using VMware to have multiple OS's on a single computer, this is for school. I am currently joining a Core Server to a domain set up on my other machine, running Server 2008. The Core machine is freshly created and has not had DNS or active directory activated, and yet my machine says: "This machine is a domain controller and cannot be unjoined from a domain." I do not have any active directory binaries installed on the Core nor DNS as i said. Any suggestions would be very helpful, this is for a class and not crucial, just be nice to get this done.

HowTo request and install manually a certificate on Windows Server Core

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 22:47:18 Z

Hello,

I have a strange problem on a new Windows Server 2008 R2 Core Domaincontroller. Here I have a Windows Server 2003 R2 Forest with one other Windows Server 2003 R2 Domaincontroller and a Windows Server 2003 R2 domain member with AD CA. The old Domaincontroller should be migrated to a new one.

The usage of dcpromo for the new Domain Controller on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Core Edition was without error messages.

At the moment the new domaincontroller have installed DNS, WINS, DHCP, DFS, a little bit file server addons and Print Server Roles. At the moment only DHCP and print server isn't finally configurated.

After several restarts I found a new log message:

Event Details
Product:  Windows Operating System 
ID:  29 
Source:  Microsoft-Windows-Kerberos-Key-Distribution-Center 
Version:  6.0 
Symbolic Name:  KDCEVENT_MISSING_KDC_CERTIFICATE 
Message:  The Key Distribution Center (KDC) cannot find a suitable certificate to use for smart card logons, or the KDC certificate could not be verified. Smart card logon may not function correctly if this problem is not resolved. To correct this problem, either verify the existing KDC certificate using certutil.exe or enroll for a new KDC certificate.

I took a look in the local computer certificate store. There were only two certificates: IPSec and Computer. Domaincontroller was missing.

In the GPO Domaincontroller Policy I had already activated automatic certificate request. After some searching I tried also a reset of the CERTSVC_DCOM_ACCESS Group, but it didn't work. Also after several restarts of the Domaincontroller: no domaincontroller certificate...

Therefore my question: How I'm able to install manually the domaincontroller certificate?

Normally I would open mmc, load the certificate snap-in, choose local Computer, move to my certificates (of the computer) and request with a right mouse click a new certificate, but mmc isn't available in Windows Server Core.
Open a remote session of the same snap-in don't show the request option.

Additionally I don't know why there is no automatic domaincontroller certificate request and installation. All server are reachable (ping, nslookup, file share, web server, ...). Other manual or automatic certificate requests are successfull (Windows Server and Windows Client). In the event viewer I found no error message with further information.

Error 5: Access has been denied while mapping a windows 2008 share Folder

Tue, 23 Sep 2008 20:13:52 Z

Hello

I'm having an issue when mapping a win2008 share folder when booting from CD, Floppy or USB. I can boot from any of the above devices okay and but then I put my credentials I receive the message Error 5: Access has been denied.

I do not have this problem with Windows Server 2003. The folder permissions are set so the non-domain account i'm using has full access within the shared and NTFS settings. I've changed the following local policies on the win2008 server but still no cigar;

Microsoft Network Client (always).. to enable

If server agrees... to enable

Send unencrypted password... to disable

If client agrees... to enable

Disconnect client when logon... to enable

Network security: Do Not Store LAN Manager Hash Value... to disable

Network security: LAN Manager authentication level... to sent NTLM response only

Can anyone assist with this problem?

Thx.

Jumbo Frames on Server Core

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 16:40:41 Z

I have two servers running Server Core 2008 R2, I'm trying to hook them up to an iSCSI to be a clustered Hyper-V server and am having problems getting jumbo frames to work.

I have a Cisco 3750 with a vlan setup for the iSCSI traffic which both servers have their dedicated iSCSI cards plugged into. I've enabled the MTU up to 9000 on both servers and made sure the Cisco has an MTU of 9000 for the vlan. I can not for the life of me run a ping between the servers with a packet larger than 1472.

I've also hooked up my laptop via a crossover cable to a different port, configured the MTU on both to 9000 and still can't ping anything above 1472.

Can someone please give me assistance as to what I'm doing wrong? If you have any good sites with step by step instructions for setting up iSCSI's with jumbo frames, I'd love to read hem.

Thanks for any help.

Windows Server 2008 Server Core and Virtual PC

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:24:13 Z

Hi everyone, I am going through the 70-640 book and in the first chapter it goes over sever core installation. Now like most Virtual PC installations it is very jumpy until you install the integration features. my server core installation is very jumpy and the book provides no instruction on how to install the integration features on server core. i am using the new virtual pc (you know the one that can run xp mode). i have installed the integration features on sever 2008 standard and i do realize server core is a stripped down version of server 2008

Component not found when Installing Framework and PowerShell on Server Core 2008 (updated to SP2)

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 05:29:39 Z

I used the WUA_SearchDownloadInstall.vbs from the MSDN to updated a Server Core 2008 to SP2, which does now have the ver for SP2 (6.0.6002).

My problem is that oclist does not show me anything other than IIS components. I am trying to install/enable the .NET Framework and PowerShell, but all of the steps I've found through Google have not worked.

"start /w ocsetup MicrosoftWindowsPowerShell" - component could not be found
"start /w ocsetup NetFx3-ServerCore " - component could not be found

And there isn't DISM either.

This is a pretty fresh install and update, did I miss something? (It was dcpromo'd with an unattend, btw)

Disable Settings on the Guest NIC on Server Core

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 20:55:11 Z

We are currently running Windows Server 2003 with Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1. One on the things we do is setup a "Shared Virtual Network" in which the guest virtual machines use a dedicated NIC seperate from the one the host uses. To do this we take one of the server NICs and unbind all the protocols and clients (i.e. Client for Microsoft Networks, Network Load Balancing, File and Printer Sharing, TCP/IP) except for Virtual Machine Network Services.

How do you do the same type of configuration on the NIC in Windows Server 2008 Server Core with Hyper-V?

A full version of Server 2008 has the following components bound to the NIC:

Client fro Microsoft Networks
QoS
File and Printer Sharing
IP v6
IPv4
Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper I/O Driver
Link-Layer Topology Discovery Responder

How can we tell what components are bound to the NIC in Server Core and then how can we disable them? Do they need to be disabled with Hyper-V?

I have seen the following solution on how to disable IPv6.

"Unlike Windows XP, IPv6 in Windows Vista cannot be uninstalled. However, you can disable IPv6 in Windows Vista by doing one of the following:

In the Connections and Adapters folder, obtain properties on all of your connections and adapters and clear the check box next to the Internet Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6) component in the list under This connection uses the following items. This method disables IPv6 on your LAN interfaces and connections, but does not disable IPv6 on tunnel interfaces or the IPv6 loopback interface.

Add the following registry value (DWORD type) set to 0xFF:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters\DisabledComponents
This method disables IPv6 on all your LAN interfaces, connections, and tunnel interfaces but does not disable the IPv6 loopback interface. You must restart the computer for this registry value to take effect."

Thanks,

Andrew

PC Card / PCMCIA / Cardbus NIC supported in Server core?

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 19:55:30 Z

Hi guys,

For testing purpose, I installer server core on a laptop and I would like to configure a second NIC but apparently server core doesn't support PC Card / PCMCIA / Cardbus NIC.

Can anyone confirm that it was disable like Wireless connection? I hope it is not the case because for testing purpose I would like to play with Hyper-V on server core but with 2 different NIC.

Thank you in advance,

How to Remote Manage Server 2008 (R1) Core with No Domain

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:13:14 Z

I've recently decided to install Server 2008 Core on an old computer of mine to use as a DHCP/AD/DNS server for my home network. At the moment I have the server and one other computer connected to the same router. Neither are in a workgroup, and I haven't yet begun the process of setting up a domain or DHCP on the server. The server is getting its IP manually, the computer from the DHCP on the router (easily disabled).

The issue I'm running into is that when I attempt to manage the firewall through the MMC on my computer, I receive the following error:
You do not have the correct permissions to open the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security console.

Normally this is a problem I'm pretty familiar with. Just log into the server and add your domain account to the Administrators or Remote Users group. Unfortunately, as I said, there IS no domain here, and I haven't been able to find a way to connect via the MMC with the local admin account of the server. I have tested that the computer is able to get to the server, and had to temporarily disable the firewall to be able to do so.

Below are the two relevant commands that I've run:
netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Remote Administration" new enable=yes
netsh advfirewall set currentprofile settings remotemanagement enable

Any insight or suggestions on how to remote manage the firewall in this setting would be appreciated.

Core Server WSUS Updates

Mon, 05 May 2008 18:14:07 Z

I know, I've read the other posts but am still unable to update my virtual server. All I have managed to do so far is install 2008 Standard Core Server, add the admin password, rename the server, join the domain, and spend unbelieveable amounts of time trying to figure out how to get the updates. WSUS sees the server and says there are 7 updates, but I can't make them talk to each other.

I was really having fun with this sucker until I got to this point. Please someone tell me "what to type" to get the updates. Thank you soooooooooo much!

Windows Server 2008 Core CD instead of DVD?

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 14:29:30 Z

Hello,

Is there a (2-3) CD version of Windows Server 2008 core? I have an old system which currently runs Server 2003 and I want to try to run Server 2008 Core on it since I expect it will function faster. The system doesn't have a DVD player though, so I wonder if there is any CD version of Server 2008. Or maybe there is a way to split the DVD into CD's?

Or is there any other way to install Server 2008 on this machine without DVD player? Perhaps some PE system that mounts ISO's over the network or so?

Thanks!

Yours truly,

Ruud van Strijp

FSRM on ServerCore

NIC index on Server 2008 core keeps changing and, as a result, virtual clients cannot find the gateway.

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 17:46:42 Z

I have installed W2K8 core on a system with 2 NICs. I have configured the Hyper-V role and updated the Core server. I have been able to configure several virtual guests and they worked fine for a while (a few hours). But then they lost the ability to ping their gatewway and so lost their internet connnectivity. I am just configuring the virtual network adapter as an external adapter. No other virtual network configurations.

What I have found so far is that the physical NIC is changing its index. I disabled the 2nd NIC through the Core command line and rebooted the Hyper-V Core server. At that point, none of the VM's would start and I had to delete and recreate them. The virtual guests network adapters now seem stable, however I am wondering just what did happen? Has anyone else experienced this?

machines and users in AD 2003 ?? Newbie...

Sat, 24 Oct 2009 19:48:07 Z

Hey guys,
I have set up my first small network.
I have a AD machien with DNS and DHCP on the same box. I created two users bill and bob.
I then get two other machines to join this domain XP-A and XP-B. It all works a treat, bill and bob log-on correctly and when I view the AD machines and users there they are. I can ping XP-A and XP-B from each other. All cool.

So my question is why woudl I want to add a machine manually under the "machines" tab in AD? Can i set up AD in such a way that ONLY the machines I stipulate will be able to join the domain? In my scenario above, anyone could log in as bill or bob from ANY machine right since I have not tied down the machines themselves, only the users. So these "any" machines coudl have viruses on and not subject to pour policy right?

Am I thinking correct here guys? Any reading on this subject?

Cheers and regards, Steve

Remote management of Server 2008 Core, What are the firewall ports ?

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 21:48:52 Z

I have successfully set up the Server 2008 Enterprise Ed 64bit Core and can manage it from a Vista PC running Hyper-V Manager however I have to disable my Symantec Firewall in order for Hyper-V manager to work. John Howards discussion of Hyper-V reote management seems to assume that Windows Firewall is being used and provides the command to open the proper ports without telling the reader what the ports actually are that need to be opened. Can someone provide that information or provide a link to the discussion?

Automatic Updates Configuration

Wed, 10 Oct 2007 17:06:15 Z

How does automatic updates work for Core Server? Is there any way to configure Automatic Updates in the following way?

1. User defines a max cache storage (X)

2. AU are downloaded and stay in cache until X is reached and the patch is installed

3. If X is reached, AU stops downloading until user updates the machine and the installed updates can be removed from cache.

BTW, the reason I am asking is because I am testing this in a Virtual Machine and when I try to set automatic updates it says:

"CScript Error. Execution of the Windows Script Host Failed. (Not Enough Storage is available to complete this operation)"

Thanks,
