Hi,

Please open a cmd windows on the server and run the following commands and post the output:

netstat -aon | find "3389"
telnet localhost 3389

Thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for posting here.

> Now cannot ping it with either name or IP

How does this server obtain address ? DHCP or statically assigned ?

Have you verified the ARP cache on source host where you performed ping test form in order to ensure that the MAC address of this windows server 2008 R2 host has been correctly listed .

Meanwhile, you might also try solving it by resetting TCP/IP for this problematic host:

PowerShell V3 differences from PowerShell V2

Here's a really interesting article on PowerShell V3, including an example of one coding construct that works in V2 that does not work in V3. The article calls it an inconsequential breaking change, but the "DLR" (Dynamic Language Runtime) background information is interesting now that it applies to PowerShell V3.

http://huddledmasses.org/powershell-3-finally-on-the-dlr/

Reply:

Has anyone gone far into exploring/exposing the DLR for the masses?

Good link.

------------------------------------
Reply:

Interesting that some v2 code may be broken if run in v3. So much for backward compatibility.

But something that doesn't get much press is "forward incompatibility". The "#requires -version 2.0" directive basically seems to say: "hey, we need at least version 2.0 to run", or "we cannot run with version 1.0". That is all well and good.

But, in our environment we currently have a mixture of v1 and v2 systems, and may eventually add some v3 while v1 and v2 are still present. I would rather develop script using v2 (and v3 when available) for the enhanced functionality like the ISE. Unfortunately, when developing a script to run on one of our v1-only systems, scripts developed on v2 invariably contain code that requires v2.

What I would like to see is a directive that, when testing, flags constructs not available in the target environment as errors. Something like "#requires -notVersion 2.0".

It seems that the only option for testing code targetted for a 1.0 system is to run it on a system not having 2.0 installed. It would be nice if one could have both versions installed on a development machine, however, I understand that this is either not possible, or that it does not cause v2-only code to fail when run with v1.

------------------------------------
Reply:

Yes, the -version 1 switch doesn't work, although the -version 2 switch does. So, in my case, I can test V2 code on my V3 system by using -version 2.

But, AFAIK, the only way to test for backward compatibility is to run on a version 1 machine.

Interesting, thanks for that info that you can test v2 code on a v3 system using -version 2. Do you know if you can test v1 code on a v3 system in the same manner?

No, I tried that ( -version 1 on V3), but the result is the same as with V2, you get a V2 engine.

Outlook not connecting

Im using self sign certificate. when i try to connect outlook client it show this message

There is a problem with the proxy server's security certificate.
The security certificate is not from a trusted certifiying authority.

Outlook is unable to connect to the proxy server

feroz syed ;)

Reply:

if you want to use self signed certificate then you have to install the ROOT CA certificate on the client pc as trusted certificate authority. Once you have install it you will be able to use the outlook using https connection.

------------------------------------
Reply:

Hi Feroz,

Make sure that you have all domain names in the certificate SAN feild of the certificate. You can check that by using Get-ExchangeCertificate |FL
Make sure that you install the internal CA certificate on problem computers Trusted Certification Authorities store.

Install CA on Client PC : Access by using WebApp & it shows the cert icon in IE. Save it on disk & install it. It should work.

It should ask you automatically when you start outlook.

hi,

by default, exchange can use his proper certificate with local outlook client, try to check if the certificate is expired or no.

if the certificate is expired, try to generate other certificate, using "new-exchangecertificate" commande.

the better method, is to generate certificate from a root CA using an exchange certificate request and install certificate on exchange server and clients PC.

SSRS Chart - Calling javascript is not working Safari browser.

Hi,

I've created a aspx page containing microsoft reportviewer control. I'm using server report.

ReportViewer1.ProcessingMode = Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ProcessingMode.Remote;

ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = new System.Uri(http://MyServer/ReportServer);

ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportPath = "/Sample/MyReport";

The report has chart, I'm calling a javascript function by setting "Action" to enable hyperlinks and "Go To URL" of chart series properties.

For the "Select URL"field I've set the expression as

="javascript:MyFunction();"

It is calling the function "MyFunction();" in Internet explorer and Firefox. But the function call is not happening in safari.(I'm using Safari 5.0.3).I've checked the settings of the browser,javascript is enabled. This is the body of the function

function MyFunction() {     alert('test');    }

Is there any solution for this?

How can I do this?

Thanks

Client VPN - no client MAC address

After troubleshooting with the Cisco voice system, we came to the following conclusion:

- The (Cisco) voice servers need to be able to record the MAC addresses of the client
- Both in PPTP and L2TP the MAC address of the VPN server is send, INSTEAD of the MAC address from the client
- Hence, the server can’t register the phone because the MAC address is not known and cannot be registered

Does anybody have a solution to this problem, so we can see the real MAC addresses of the VPN clients, instead of the VPN server MAC addresses ?

Reply:

So far no solutions... does anybody have an idea ?

Hi joeribar,

Thanks for posting at Windows Server forum.

The following link is the same question asked at Cisco forum, generally is no way or workaround to fix this issue.

VPN Clients all have same MAC Address

https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2080448

As they mentioned, you may manually configure the MAC address in Windows Registry. Hope it helps.

Hi, OK thanks. But the Cisco solution is about CISCO client VPN. We use MICROSOFT Client VPN, clients using L2TP connectivity through the Microsoft solution, not the Cisco one. So my question is, if this is possible through the Microsoft VPN solution.

The softhphones are Cisco, but not the tunnel setup.

This is a great idea, but I still prefer going directly to Books Online to look for more information. I seem to be able to find what I am looking for more quickly with Books Online.

SQL 2008 SP2 is now supported as DPM 2010 backend

The SQL backend for DPM 2010 server can now be on SQL 2008 SP2 version. If you have a remote SQL backend, it can also be upgraded to SQL 2008 SP2. Both the configurations are fully supported.

Hi Praveen,

Please can you give some more information about the if DPM 2010 is working with a remote instance of SQL 2008 R2. I still find only info that the setup is not working wiht SQL 2008 R2.

Can you explain how this must be done?
Currently I am in an migration of DPM 2007 (on Win 2008, x64) with a remote instance of SQL 2005. We want to upgrade (= same machine) to DPM 2010 (on Win 2008 R2, x64) with a SQL 2008 R2 remote instance (we do not have have SQL Server 2008 in house, only 2008 R2).
My upgrade path is the following:
1. DPM 2007: change remote instance to local instance
2. Upgrade DPM: Upgrade DPM 2007 with local instance to DPM 2010 with local instance
3. upgrade Windows: Upgrade Windows Server 2008 to Windows Server 2008 R2
4. upgrade SQL Instance: When hotfix is avalailbe upgrade SQL 2008 local instance to SQL 2008 remote instance

If SQL 2008 R2 as remobe/local instance is already supported, it saves me a lot of effort and time

Thanks

Good to hear that Praveen. Should DPM 2010 Server require any hotfixes/rollups to support SQL 2008 SP2 as backend? To be precise should the DPM Server be any better than version 3.0.7696.0?

Rapid right-click/left-click on Jump Lists cause window to duplicate instead of close

I have an issue with the taskbar Jump Lists. Let's say I have an Windows Explorer window open. Often I will right-click on it on the taskbar and then left-click on "Close window". The problem occurs when I try to do this too fast. Now, if I try to hit "Close window" before the "Frequent" items load (and depending on the program, it can take a second or two), it often will duplicate the window instead of closing it. Has anybody else encountered this issue?

Replacing BPOS MigrationToolkit - Needed for Updated PowerShell Commands, Notably Get-MSOnlineUser Cmdlet

Hi all, as many of you know Microsoft is in the process is moving BPOS tenants into Office 365 to provide the next version of hosted Microsoft Online Services. In earlier postings I've discussed the use of the updated Microsoft Online Migration Toolkit, with an updated Get-MSOnlineUser cmdlet in order to run reports on who has not changed their password since x day.

If you are needing to update your BPOS Mail Migration Tool in order to use this new cmdlet and run these reports, as outlined here (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/bpostransition/thread/04fe3272-322c-4306-9326-f2c1b3385ef1) you will need to make sure and perform the following steps:

Uninstall the existing BPOS Mail Migration Toolkit application
Reboot this machine
Install the new BPOS Mail Migration Toolkit, from the following location:

Resources:

Download the latest Microsoft Transporter Suite Tool: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displayLang=en&id=5015

Note - Unless you uninstall and reboot your machine you may find that the Migration Command Shell will error citing "Unable to find the Get-MSOnlineUser powershell cmdlet", at which point you will not be able to run the Get-MSOnlineUser cmdlet (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/bpostransition/thread/04fe3272-322c-4306-9326-f2c1b3385ef1), used to run reports on who has changed their password since X day.

Dealing with a Large Dimension

I have a Relation dimension which is {RelationID int, RelationType varchar(50)}. This is a kind of "Super" dimension because it covers many other potential dimensions. For example Customers, Suppliers, PurchaseOrders, SalesOrders, etc. There are currently 50 different dimensions that might be covered by such data. The main fact table associated with it is RelationUpdate {RelationID, RelationType, UserID, Role, Date} - which is counting what object a user updated.

If you wanted to have a better relationship with real dimensions what would be the best way forward?

It suggests expanding the RelationUpdate fact table with many columns, one for each RelationType. Is it possible and reasonable?

Reply:

Trying to get a better understanding of what your relation dimension is, how does it cover the other dimensions.

On your RelationUpdate fact table one thing to avoid are the varchar columns. If you already have a RelationID, you should avoid including the RelationType in the fact.

WAIK RTM Bug Adding Packages

I believe I've found a bug in the RTM version of the WAIK for Windows 7 or maybe someone can explain to me what I'm doing wrong. I had the RC version of Windows 7 and the RTM version of the WAIK and kept getting "The system cannot find the path specified." when trying to add a package to WinPE.

The interesting thing is that the CHM file supplied has all CAB file names in lower case. So if you are copying and pasting from the CHM file, you may never run into this issue.

I had my package file names in lowercase, but not C:\, when I changed that to c:\ (lowercase c) it worked!
How STUPID is that! Doesn't anyone test this stuff???

I had the same error message and came here to find an answer.
Only after reading that the problem could be as stupid as changing a capital C into a lowercase c I found my problem.

The error says it cannot open the file >>C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\x86\WinPE_FPs\WinPE-HTA.cab"<<
but it should be looking for the file >>C:\Program Files\Windows AIK\Tools\PETools\x86\WinPE_FPs\WinPE-HTA.cab<<

So I left out the final " sign and that solved the problem for me.
It appears they really do not test this stuff!

I tried all three of the methods here; all lowercase letters in filename, all lowercase in full filename (including "c:"), and removing end quotes, also tried removing all quotes...stillgetting identical error you did:

An error occurred trying to open - c:\users\administrator\desktop\amddriver.cab  Error: 0x80070002    Error: 2    The system cannot find the file specified.

I renamed the .cab file to amddriver.cab, but just fyi, I did get the file direct from Windows Update.

Any ideas on how to get this .cab installed lmk please.

Thanks.
