In a Cluster, the two nodes should be able to contact each other on regular intervals. So that, In case one node fails, the other node will be able to take over. For the same purpose, every node should have two network adapters, with one network card DEDICATED for communication check between the two nodes. The communication check is known as Heartbeats. Cluster node sends regular heartbeats to the other node to check if the other node is alive. In case, the Heartbeat is not received. then one node assumes the other node to be down and take over the cluster by becoming an "Active Node"<br />
<br />
On both the Nodes, We have configured two network adapters.<br />
<br />
<b>Public</b>: For communication of a node with the rest of the machines / resources<br />
<br />
<b>Private</b>: For communication of a node with the other node (Heartbeat) <br />
<br />
Note: You can give any name to these network cards, Private and Public are given for simplicity purpose only<br />

<b>Public Network Adapter</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
None of the options on the network card will be unchecked<br />
<br />
Provide an IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS on this Network Interface (Public)<br />

<b>Private Network Adapter</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
None of the options on the network card will be unchecked<br />
<br />
Provide an IP address and a Subnet Mask. Do not assign a Default Gateway or DNS address<br />
<br />
Also, do remember to uncheck the option "Register this connection address in DNS". If this option is checked, then the machine will register two IP address in DNS for the same name and that will cause conflict<br />

This is the most important screen...<br />
<br />
Firstly, you have to specify the name of the cluster. This cluster name will be created as a COMPUTER account in Active Directory.<br />
<br />
Secondly, you have to specify the IP address of the Public and Private Network. These IP address will NOT be the same as that of either of the two nodes of this cluster. The IP address mentioned here in this window will be DIFFERENT and Unique as these IP address will not be for the Node (Node3 or Node4) but for the CLUSTERNAME (Win2k8Cluster)<br />

I am not talking about 80`s or 90`s, Even few years back if you have to built a new file server with data redundancy, you needed two physical servers and a RAID / SAN drive which would have been a costly component. This could have cost you some good amount of money as well as time. Now days, If you ask some to built the same server, you just need one physical server. Yes, you heard it right. Only one physical server. That`s the power of "Virtualization"<br />
<br />
Lets see how only one physical server would have fulfill the requirement. One physical server with Hyper-V, hosting three Virtual Machines. Two VM`s for File Servers and one VM to be used as SAN. Yes, you again read it correctly, you can configure a Windows 2012 R2 Server as a SAN Server. And it Works !!!!<br />
<br />
More to it, you could have added another server on cloud (Trust me, hosting a server on cloud is extremely easy and not at all costly. You pay only for the time that VM is running)<br />
<br />
In this post, we will see how we can configure a Windows 2012 R2 Server as a SAN Server and we will use this SAN as a cluster disk in our next post on How to Configure Microsoft Cluster on Windows 2008 R2<br />
<br />
In case, you think that this (Windows 2012 R2) is the only possible solution for a virtualized SAN then I strongly recommend you to read the following post:-<br />

Configuring SAN on OpenFiler<br />

<br />
So, Lets get started !!!!<br />
<br />
Here in this lab, we have a Windows 2012 R2 Server named vSAN<br />
<br />

Since this being a VM, I have attached two more drives on this server (20GB and 200GB). These two drives will be used later as Quorum and Storage Disk when we will configure cluster<br />
<br />

Lets first install some required roles to make this machine as SAN<br />
<br />
A SAN can be a <b>Fibre Channel (FC) SAN</b> or a <b>iSCSI SAN</b><br />
<br />
In this lab we will implement a iSCSI SAN<br />

Before you read this post, I strongly recommends you to go through the following post:-<br />
<br />
Configuring Microsoft Cluster on Windows Server 2003<br />
<a href="http://www.adshotgyan.com/2016/04/configuring-microsoft-cluster-on.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.adshotgyan.com/2016/04/configuring-microsoft-cluster-on.html</span></a><br />
<br />
Once you have configured a two node cluster on Windows 2003, now is the time to configure an application which can use this cluster<br />
<br />
For this lab, I will be configuring DFS on this Cluster<br />
<br />
So here we have two disk, one for Quorum and the other for Storage. The storage disk will store all our application related data<br />

Create a New Virtual Server<br />
<br />
Wait.. Virtual Server? Were we not configuring an application?<br />
<br />
<b>Virtual Server</b>: Collection of services/applications that runs on multiple server but for represent themselves as a single server. When you deploy an application, it requires a "<b>Name</b>" and an "<b>IP Address</b>" to be associated/linked. The Name and the IP will make a resource group. The resource group will then be a part of virtual server. Once you create a virtual server, its name and IP will be registered in DNS as a machine name.<br />
<br />
<b>Resource Group</b>: Collection of resources that runs on a specific node where as a Virtual Server consist of a Resource Group that can run on multiple nodes<br />

As stated above, a virtual group essentially consist of a resource group. So we either need to create a new resource group or can specify an existing resource group created earlier<br />
<br />

For simplicity, I will be naming the resource group and virtual server with names which will explain what they are at a later point in time<br />
<br />
So we will name the the "<b>Resource Name" </b>as "<b>DFS Resource Name</b>"<br />

"<b>Network Name" </b>as "<b>DFSNETNAME</b>"<br />
<br />
Also, provide an IP address. This will be a unique IP address and the network name will be used by the client machines to connect to this virtual server/resource group<br />
<br />
We can specify advance settings for the Network Name, IP Address and Resource Group<br />
<br />
I will not discuss these settings as this post is concentrated on installation of DFS application on Microsoft Cluster on Windows Server 2003 and for the normal working of DFS on cluster we will keep these settings as "Default". For these settings in details, I will create another post<br />

<br />
Yes, I said that because this snap-in will just "Connect" and not host the DFS<br />

And its done<br />
<br />
But you need to understand this. This server is NOT hosting this DFS, its getting hosted on Node2 (which is the active node for this resource right now and then once the failover happens this resource will switch over to Node1)<br />
<br />

Lets access this path<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Now, where is this path taking us to ? Node 2 ?<br />
<br />
The answer is No, Its taking us to SAN as the data is NOT stored on Node2 its stored on the SAN which we have created earlier and which was Presented to Node2<br />
<br />

Lets create a folder here<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
While doing some testing, I have changed the node to Node1<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguvAo9xdmiCvmVNkc4pHMbqYOKZK0TXhGHn3BsmKKfBuhEFf4jJP34cd3yuw15SgZCexxtzNAdX0BgL-usNX9vmOsaWlGFy97RJM0_v4wu0SyPMSL2gSR-2zs3MBUOE5Wmm9j2oIPFp5F0/s1600/50.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguvAo9xdmiCvmVNkc4pHMbqYOKZK0TXhGHn3BsmKKfBuhEFf4jJP34cd3yuw15SgZCexxtzNAdX0BgL-usNX9vmOsaWlGFy97RJM0_v4wu0SyPMSL2gSR-2zs3MBUOE5Wmm9j2oIPFp5F0/s640/50.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And you can verify that the data is still on the S drive on Node1 which was earlier created on Node2. The data is on S drive which happens to be on SAN and is not local to Node1 or Node2. So you will be able to view the data on both the server which so ever server will be active as the drive will be active only on one server at a time<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On both the Nodes, we need to have 2 NIC<br />
<br />
One NIC is for the communication of the machine with rest of the machines and storage<br />
Second NIC is dedicated for communication with the other Node (Node2) for Heartbeat. To check if the other node is up and running so that in case no response is received then it will failover assuming that the other node is down<br />
<br />
For convenience, I have renamed the tow NIC`s as Public and Private (For Heartbeat)<br />

Once installed, double click on the icon to launch the iSCSI Initiator<br />
<br />
<b>General Tab</b><br />
<br />
Beside other options, the General Tab will list the name of the Initiator Node. This is one of the most important piece of information. On the iSCSI Target, when you have multiple nodes connecting to it, you will need to know the name of all the Nodes which have connected to that target. Also, you do have an option to change this name<br />
<br />
- Initiator Node Name<br />
- Rename the Initiator Node<br />
- Specify CHAP Secret<br />
- Configure IPSec<br />

Connecting a Server to SAN or "Presenting a LUN" from SAN consist of two parts:-<br />
<br />
1. From SAN : Create a LUN and Map that LUN to a Disk/Drive using iSCSI Target<br />
2. From Server/Client: Connect to the iSCSCI Target using iSCSI Initiator<br />
<br />
Part 2 will require you to first "Discover" a iSCSI Target. For that you need to proovide an IP address of the Target with a Port Number<br />

We now need to do an authentication by connecting with this particular LUN / iSCSI Target</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Click on "LogOn" and you will get a dialog box with the following options:-</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Automatically restore this connection when the system boots</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
- Enable multiple-path</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
You can keep the default settings (Both options unchecked) and click on OK</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
However, if you want that the connection be made automatically next time the system boots then select the first option</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Also, select the second option if you want to configure multi-path </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Multi-Path is setting up different paths to connect to the storage so that if one path fails, the connection be made using another path</div>

Since this is a Quorum Disk, we will assign a letter "Q" to this disk<br />
<br />
Quorum Disk:- All the configuration of a cluster is stored on Quorum Disk. It is very important for all the nodes of a cluster to have access to the Quorum Disk. That`s why this disk should be on a shared disk (SAN)<br />

Lets browse through the snap-in<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Cluster Group</b><br />
<br />
A default Cluster Group will be created named "Cluster Group"<br />
<br />
A cluster group will consist of the following:-<br />
<br />
- Cluster Name<br />
- Cluster IP<br />
- Quorum Disk<br />
<br />
As discussed earlier, a cluster will have a Name and IP address which will be Unique to a cluster<br />
Also, a quorum is a disk attached to a cluster which will store all the configuration information about that cluster and the quorum should be accessible from all the nodes of a cluster<br />

Lets view the log<br />
<br />
The basics of reading any log is to start from the end of the log. Also, do note the date and exact time when the issue happened and then read the log of that date/time<br />
<br />
In the log below, the issue seems to be related to "Local Quorum". Cluster is unable to add Node2 to the local quorum. Isn't this obvious. As discussed earlier, Quorum Disk will store the configuration data of a cluster and this disk should be accessible from all the nodes. However, in this cluster it is using a local quorum (which is the default setting). But don`t we think that we have added a shared disk (Q:) to be used as quorum. So does it means that we need t change the quorum disk from local to the shared one<br />

Gone are the days when hardware SAN was the only option. In today`s world of virtualization, it just takes few minutes to setup a virtual SAN. Even though, by no means yo can compare software and hardware SAN, still for lab purpose you can easily use a software SAN. There are few vendors which you can use. For this lab, I will be using "OpenFiler". However, with Windows 2012, you can create a virtual SAN on the Windows 2012 Server itself.<br />
<br />
You can download the OpenFiler SAN from the following link:-<br />
<a href="https://www.openfiler.com/community/download"><span style="color: blue;">https://www.openfiler.com/community/download</span></a><span style="color: #073763;"> </span><br />
<br />
Once installed, the UI since being Linux Based will look like this. You don`t have to enter the credentials here, instead use another machine to connect to this SAN using IE/Chrome<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOqSJI6IInY_fJmwwdvOOUtTtnEBVxZ-xjcfhCtjig1WmvKK923i0rPmwyaBlmahF4VflOCIPUIQ7gmJ5K68kXzBcQoyud1foHnHvqJ7I3jSve2oWZgQ3zQRdyniGuvyqsy6BtUstQuwo/s1600/1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOqSJI6IInY_fJmwwdvOOUtTtnEBVxZ-xjcfhCtjig1WmvKK923i0rPmwyaBlmahF4VflOCIPUIQ7gmJ5K68kXzBcQoyud1foHnHvqJ7I3jSve2oWZgQ3zQRdyniGuvyqsy6BtUstQuwo/s640/1.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Enter the IP Address. Now an important thing to remember is that the login credentials are NOT the one which you have used while installing the SAN. The login credentials will be:<br />
<br />
- Username: openfiler<br />
- Password: password<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOGj0K48l4FQEOPomFPLKVjks9KJ4B_PKexrQlOnaKaUC30NbUchqaxapPSxaLlPZ7FYHBfKY5OJDk5Zz520jM-pcxRmpNn2KKoDicfHa01-FF80iCAxr6GMkZFMH-bfd-YMmSSfYaDyI/s1600/2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOGj0K48l4FQEOPomFPLKVjks9KJ4B_PKexrQlOnaKaUC30NbUchqaxapPSxaLlPZ7FYHBfKY5OJDk5Zz520jM-pcxRmpNn2KKoDicfHa01-FF80iCAxr6GMkZFMH-bfd-YMmSSfYaDyI/s640/2.png" width="640" /></a></div>

Lets try to understand the SAN terminology. Suppose you bought a Hard Disk for your computer. You will attach that HDD (A Physical Disk) which will then be detected by the computer. Once detected, you will Initialize the disk. You will then format that disk, assign a letter, choose a file system (FAT or NTFS) and create a volume. The volume can be of different size. These volumes will then form partitions</div>

Similar to the above example, you attach a virtual hard disk to this SAN. The Hard Disk will be detected and will get listed in the "Block Device Management" under the Volume Tab. Indeed, the Block Device Management will list all the disk attached with the SAN</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
You will then select one hard disk and will create a Physical Volume. Here you can specify the size of the volume by specifying the start cylinder and end cylinder</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So out of one physical hard disk (which is a virtual hard disk in this scenario), we can create multiple hard disks or physical volumes</div>

<b>Creating a New Volume Group</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Once the physical volume has been created, we can then create a volume group. We can add multiple physical volumes to one volume group<br />
<br />
So suppose we have two disks 100 GB Each. We can then add both the disks in a volume group and then "Present" them as a single disk of 200 GB (Or any custom size up to 200 GB)<br />

Specify a name, space and volume type<br />
<br />
Just like in Windows we have FAT and NTFS, here is SAN we have XFS, EXT, btrfs, and Block)<br />
<br />
So earlier we had add a disk. We could have added few disks. Then we created a volume group. We could have used multiple disks to create one volume group. Out of this volume group, we now have an option to use a part of that volume<br />
<br />
Take a simple example where you are a Storage Admin. You have 5 Physical Disks (200 GB each). You created a volume group using all the 5 disks (Volume - 1 TB). You have set the following policies / limits for different sites (depending upon the number of users per site)<br />
<br />
- US (200 GB)<br />
- Delhi (300 GB)<br />
- Banglore (300 GB)<br />
- Reserve (200 GB)<br />
<br />
Now there are two options or approach which you can follow. You can assign these volumes in one go. The disadvantage of this would be that the administrators of each site might use all the space and then would come back to you asking for more. So why not give them 75% of their space for now and once they need more, will allocate the rest 25%<br />
<br />
So we will now create the following volumes:-<br />
<br />
- US (150 GB)<br />
- Delhi (225 GB)<br />
- Banglore (225 GB)<br />
<br />
This way, we now have the following unused space:-<br />
<br />
- US (50 GB)<br />
- Delhi (75 GB)<br />
- Banglore (75 GB)<br />
<div>
- Reserve (200 GB)</div>
<br />
I hope the concept of Physical Disks, Merging them to create a Physical Volume and then creating a volume of a specific size is clear<br />

<b>Allowing Access from a Particular Network</b><br />
<br />
SAN is a network device which users can access if they are on the network. It could be a possibility that there could be some sites / network from where I don`t want my users to access the SAN drive. So here in network configuration, I can specify which all networks will have access to the SAN<br />

<b>Starting the iSCSI Target Services</b><br />
<br />
Just like in Windows, In SAN we do have services which control what all this SAN can do. Here we are working on accessing data/volumes/drives on this SAN. Client machine and SAN will use iSCSI protocol for data access from client machine to the SAN drive. For this, we need to have iSCSI Initiator and iSCSI Target. iSCSI needs to be installed on the file server where the drive will be presented and iSCSI Target needs to be enabled on the SAN<br />
<br />
So here we will enable and start the iSCSI Target<br />

LUN (Logical Unit Number) - "Number used to identify a logical unit, which is a device addressed by the SCSI protocol or SAN"<br />
<br />
So a LUN is like a MAC address. You created a volume, now you need to assign a number or an address. There could be many volumes created on SAN. How would a client machine knows which volume to connect to. So the client machine will use a LUN to connect to a particular volume/disk<br />

Believe it or not, first few snapshots (Images) of this post were taken on 23rd Sep 2012 and few on 1st Sep 2013... And I did not got time for a write up for this post in last 3 years... You can understand now how busy I am... :)</div>

This post is all about GPMC in Windows 2012 Server. The new changes which were introduced in GPMC</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Its a conflicting statement which I usually give... At times I say I have been working since the days of Windows 2000 and then at time I would like to say that I am young and haven't even seen Windows 2000... You know... Saying that you have been working since Windows 2000 days adds a lot of weight as a system admin...<br />
<br />
Coming back to GPMC again... Earlier in Windows 2000 and Windows 2003, We use to have a tool known as GPOTOOL... You all must be knowing the fact that Group Policies are stored partially in AD and partially in SYSVOL. And to successfully apply them it is mandatory that the version of the GPO in AD should match with the version of same GPO in SYSVOL...<br />
<br />
GPOTOOL was used to compare this version. However there were some issues with that tool and that`s why Microsoft introduced a Tab "Status"in GPMC.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>

<br />
"This page shows the status of Active Directory and SYSVOL (DFSR) replication for this domain as it relates to Group Policy"<br />
<br />
You must be thinking why I wrote the above statement when it was mentioned in the snapshot given below... This is called search optimization... Getting my blog / post listed in the search results when someone looks for this string... This is not called ADShotGyan... This is ExtraGyan which I like to share periodically...<br />

<br />
As stated earlier, this tool (As well as the earlier one "GPOTool") will "Compare" the version of a GPO in AD with that of in SYSVOL. For a comparison, there has to be a Baseline Server<br />
<br />
So, here in this snap in, you will have a Baseline Server. Usually, the baseline server is the PDC, however this can be changed<br />

But what if I click on a GPO listed in the Group Policy Objects<br />

Great Information...<br />
<br />
- Loopback Processing<br />
- Loopback Mode<br />
- Link Speed<br />
- Slow Link Threshold<br />
- Domain Controller Name<br />
- Domain Controller IP<br />
- Processing Trigger<br />
<br />
All this information is remote as this information if of the client and not of the domain controller (In the example we have selected the domain controller as the machine, but if you choose a client machine then all this information will be of the client machine) as we are running RSOP remotely from the GPMC Snap-In<br />

You can of course jump to a conclusion here that this is quite relevant from the connection objects which will be created between these domain controller. But hold on. Do you that a connection object May or May Not Replicate ALL the Partitions viz Domain, Configuration and Schema</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Don`t Trust me as Usual... I know... I have Proof as Usual :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In My Lab, I have Three Domain Controllers</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
DC1, DC2 and DC3</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All the Domain Controllers are in the Same Site and Its a Mesh Topology. So , you may see that every domain controller have a connection object with each domain controller</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Which means, Since DC1 has a connection object with DC2 and DC3, It should Send and Receive Changes for all the partitions from both the domain controllers (DC2 and DC3) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Configuration Partition -> Properties<br />
<br />
<b>repsTo</b><br />
<b>repsFrom</b><br />
<br />
You will get these attributes in the property of all the partitions (Domain, Configuration and Schema. You can although think that I said that these attributes will list the domain controllers with which this DC will replicate changes but here I am going into the property of a partition and not into the properties a particular domain controller. Check again. In ADSIEDIT, I am connected to DC1. So the Partition (Also known as NC) which we are currently viewing is hosted on DC1. So the attributes repsTo and repsFrom will be LOCAL to DC1 for this Partition.<br />
<br />

<br />
In <b>repsFrom</b>, I can see two values.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Expanding them, It list the GUID`s of Domain Controllers (Which I can Verify from DNS)<br />
<br />
The Two GUID`s Listed starts from "<b>ef33</b>" and "<b>01ac</b>"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here you go... These GUID`s ("<b>ef33</b>" and "<b>01ac</b>") belongs to the Domain Controllers DC2 and DC3 Respectively.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now lets check "<b>repsTo</b>"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Strange... Here I can see only one value<br />
<br />
The GUID starting with "<b>ef33</b>" which is DC2<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Ncsr6lEkG_KB44AtowKAdiLTsokz1vJ-rBPRr9bpDggyY-sL1i-gSbXr3AIAwRRzsarcJn3PBNgUEic6U189nAfUzllHUtCy58v1v0W3-S2nth0cbrC2fY_A6wlGAvYu4KxFB7TeR2c/s1600/10.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Ncsr6lEkG_KB44AtowKAdiLTsokz1vJ-rBPRr9bpDggyY-sL1i-gSbXr3AIAwRRzsarcJn3PBNgUEic6U189nAfUzllHUtCy58v1v0W3-S2nth0cbrC2fY_A6wlGAvYu4KxFB7TeR2c/s640/10.png" width="640" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
So, It means that "<b>DC1</b>" for "<b>Configuration Partition</b>", Will <b>Send </b>the Changes to <b>DC2</b> Only whereas it can <b>Receive </b>Changes from <b>DC2 Or/And DC3</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Windows 10</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The new client operating system of Microsoft "Windows 10" was launched on 29th July 2015. Lets have a closer look on this new operating system and lets see whats stored for us</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As we discuss the new features in this post, you will realize that Windows 10 is certainly not of the same league as that of Windows 7 or even Windows 8. Lots of futuristic planning has been done while designing this code. Features like "Hello", "Virtual Desktops" and "Cortana" are certainly way beyond its time.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For features like "Credential Providers" and "LSA Isolation", we will have a separate post for them a they need to be discussed in detail</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>The Start Screen and the Start Button</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Start Screen and the Start Button vanished in Windows 8 for a short while before the start button made a comeback in Windows 8.1. So was the customer`s not ready for this change. I say it the technology which wasn't ready. Microsoft wanted to create an operating system that can work on a computer, tablet o even on a phone. But then, what matters was the market share these devices and in particular with Microsoft operating system installed (And not Android) had at that time. And secondly, how many of us have a touch screen computer. Ideally, Microsoft has created an operating system keeping in mind the latest technologies and trends but unfortunately the world was not ready for this change. So Microsoft brought back the Start Button in Windows 8.1 (Even though the button was only to "Toggle" between the desktop screen and the App Screen) but still the main desktop screen was missing. The App Screen was again introduced thinking of mobile devices as it was useless for a person to have a desktop screen on a tablet or on a mobile.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
With Windows 10, Microsoft played safe and smartly. They got the Start Button back with Full Functionality (As which use to have in Windows 7). Not only it displays the old Application Bar but also it displays the new App Tiles. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The default screen is set to the old Desktop Screen. Along with, they have now introduced a "Tablet Mode" which once set will give you the same "App Screen" by default when you log on to the operating system. </div>
<br />
This is the Default Desktop Screen<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLmJ_GA5YnU0f7gTCYlvZ2sxXESig_iVb2c_fXJIwglJMLSurpbl4bvpV0NC6uGQqFY7w6b4NjE6AJs7VLikttmyxZErZdF3I1VUbtsnZ26QGYF-oqtx4zbQvQORcP6pPUChsb1OiFImc/s1600/1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLmJ_GA5YnU0f7gTCYlvZ2sxXESig_iVb2c_fXJIwglJMLSurpbl4bvpV0NC6uGQqFY7w6b4NjE6AJs7VLikttmyxZErZdF3I1VUbtsnZ26QGYF-oqtx4zbQvQORcP6pPUChsb1OiFImc/s640/1.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
So once you click on Start button on left bottom corner, On left pane, it will display the Applications/Most Used/ Recently Used/Explorer/Settings/Documents options (Windows 7) where as on the Right Pane it will list all the Application Tiles (Windows 8)<br />
<br />

<b>Spartan / Microsoft Edge</b><br />
<br />
Here is "Spartan"... Quite Famous before its Launched... Not because of its features but because it was rumored that Spartan has put Internet Explorer off the shelf which means it was to replace Internet Explore... And yes it was a rumor.. Our very own Internet Explore is still alive in Windows 10<br />

In case you didn't like Cortana Voice (Which I doubt), then you can disable it.<br />
<br />
You have the following options:-<br />
<br />
- Disable Search Completely<br />
- Disable the Search Icon<br />
- Disable the Search Box<br />
<br />

<b>Virtual Desktop</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Remember the days when we did not had tab option in internet explorer / chrome. There would have been 10-15 internet tabs opened on the Taskbar and the clicking on each tab to find out the required internet explorer page... Tabbed option made it easy for us to Group different pages into one<br />
<br />
Groups be it in Internet Explorer / Chrome or on Whatsapp / Facebook are always helpful<br />
<br />
Similarly, grouping different applications on the Desktop will also be quite helpful and that is why Microsoft has now introduced the concept of "Virtual Desktop" in Windows 10<br />
<br />
In Windows 10 you can create different Virtual Desktop and the Group different Applications in different Virtual Desktops<br />
<br />
Like, you can open your official applications in one virtual desktop while your personal Email and Facebook in another virtual desktop<br />
<b><br /></b>
Win + CTRL + LEFT/RIGHT: Switch to previous or next desktop<br />
Win + CTRL + D: Create a new desktop<br />
Win + CTRL + F4: Close the current desktop<br />
<br />
Win + TAB: Launch task view<br />

Closing a Virtual Desktop Session is simple... Click on the Red X and the session will be closed<br />
<br />
Do remember the fact that the Virtual Desktops remain active even if you log off or reboot your machines. The applications will be closed (of course), however, the virtual desktops will remain<br />
<br />

As discussed about the Start Screen in the beginning on this blog, Microsoft have not completely done away with the Start Screen of Windows 8. We can still enable the same Start Screen with Apps if we want instead of the default Desktop Screen<br />

System -> Tablet Mode<br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>- </b>Immediately enter Tablet Mode<br />

Microsoft new initiative "<b>Local Administrator Password Management</b>" or also known as "<b>LAPS</b>" clearly shows how serious they are about the "Security" domain that they have launched a new tool to enhance the security on the client machines (They could have incorporated this in the next version of their Operating System but it seems that they didn't wanted to waste any time waiting for the release of the newer version)<br />
<br />
With LAPS, there are few points to be noted:-<br />
<br />
- Administrator Account (And keep this in mind, I did not said "The Administrator Account" which the the default administrator account) will get a "<b>RANDOM</b>" Password<br />
<br />
- The Password on all the machines will be <b>DIFFERENT</b><br />
<br />
- These Passwords will be <b>STORED</b> in Active Directory under the Machine Account<br />
<br />
Lets see how this so called LAPS works !!!!<br />
<br />
For the lab purpose, I have a domain "ADShotGyan", Domain Controller (DC1 - Windows 2012 R2) and Client Machine (Win7 - Windows 7)<br />

There are two main components of LAPS:<br />
<br />
- <b>AdmPwd GPO Extension</b><br />
<br />
- <b>Management Tools</b><br />
- Fat Client UI<br />
- PowerShell Module<br />
- GPO Editor Template<br />
<br />
The GPO Extensions are the CSE`s (Client Side Extensions) for LAPS and need to be installed on all the client machines which you as an administrators wants to manage<br />
<br />
Rest of the management tools are optional on client machines but you will need them on the domain controller from where you want to manage LAPS<br />
<br />

<br />
We first need to import the following module using PowerShell<br />
<br />
<b>Import-Module AdmPwd.PS</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy77GB85IjVJuBBD2IBd4NZjdY3erHeld1cNCgXZVIq9T1s2VBb0ScfMrzfVR2Y9Vr0anpf9PUQbY4VxxwJ-V-SOw2F1UCulouN7UeNsOuq5LRgi82XdNwLp3atyRWJGhhGKerPRyVFX8/s1600/16.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy77GB85IjVJuBBD2IBd4NZjdY3erHeld1cNCgXZVIq9T1s2VBb0ScfMrzfVR2Y9Vr0anpf9PUQbY4VxxwJ-V-SOw2F1UCulouN7UeNsOuq5LRgi82XdNwLp3atyRWJGhhGKerPRyVFX8/s640/16.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Then, Update the Schema....<br />
<br />
<b>Update-AdmPwdADSchema</b><br />
<br />
The Schema Update will Add the following Attributes:<br />
<br />
- <b>ms-Mcs-AdmPwdExpireationTime</b><br />
- <b>ms-Mcs-AdmPwd</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Permissions</b><br />
<br />
Now lets see which all permissions do we have on these machines w.r.t LAPS<br />
<br />
Understand this... With LAPS, Administrator Account on every machine will have a random password and this password will be stored in the machine account in active directory. So the machine need to have rights on the attributes where the password will be stored<br />
<br />
Lets have a look on these permissions on a machine account<br />
<br />
We need to look for the permission for the <b>SELF </b>account on the machine account<br />
<br />

hmm... That`s strange.. So the SELF account do not have any rights on the attributes which will store the password... Which simply means that this wont work..<br />

<br />
Example:<br />
<br />

<br />

The above permission which we gave was for the machine account. But what if an administrator wants to <b>READ </b>the administrator password stored on the machine account. Even though the password which will be generated will be a random password but then the domain administrator should be able to read the password else how would they be able to use that password on the machine for which the password has been generated<br />
<br />
Currently, we have two administrator accounts in ADSHOTGYAN.COM domain<br />
<br />
- Sumit Sethi<br />
- Administrator<br />
<br />
And they both don't have any rights/permissions on this computer account<br />

Notice the difference in the two commands...<br />
<br />
We gave "Sumit Sethi" and "Administrator" accounts "<b>READ</b>" Permissions and "Reset" account "<b>RESET</b>" Permission<br />

<b>Name of administrator account to manage</b><br />
<br />
If you are a good admin, then you will always rename your default built in admin account or you keep your built in administrator account disabled and will create a secondary administrator account with some other name as the default admin account "administrator" can be easily hack-able<br />
<br />
So, if you have a second administrator account on client machines then you can specify that account name here in the group policy setting<br />

Lets configure the policy "Name of administrator account to manage" and add "Admin" account name in that setting<br />

We have to generate a new password which would then be assigned to the new custom administrator account "Admin"<br />
<br />
Also an important point to note here is that if we have the built in administrator account and a custom account with no setting for the custom account defined then the generated password will be assigned to the default administrator account. Howe ever, if we have a custom admin account and the same account is mentioned in the group policy setting as well, then that account will get the generated password even if the default administrator account is enabled on the client machine<br />

But did you notice something in the above window. Even though the Reset account was able to reset the password, however the account was unable to read the password. the password attribute in the Management UI was empty. This is because the Reset account only had the Reset permission and not the Read permission<br />
<br />
Now lets give Read permission to the Reset Account<br />
<br />
<b>Set-AdmPwdReadPasswordPermission -OrgUnit "OU=LAPS Lab,DC=ADShotGyan,DC=com" -AllowedPricipals "ADShotGyan\Reset"</b><br />

<br />
Ever wonder what happens when you run DCGPOFIX on a Domain Controller ?<br />
<br />
DCGPOFIX is use to Recreate the Default Group Policies (Default Domain Controller and Default Domain Policy)<br />
<br />
Once we run DCGPOFIX, we see that the Group Policies has been recreated. But what happens in the background. Lets See....<br />
<br />
Currently, I am running DCGPOFIX for Default Domain Controller Policy<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
To understand the background, we will run Procmon (Process Monitor)<br />
<br />
So, the first thing what DCGPOFIX will do is to take all the default settings from the "<strong>DefltDC.INF</strong>" file<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Lets confirm... The <strong>DefltDC.INF </strong>file will have all the Default Security Settings for the Domain Controller Group Policy<br />
<br />

Next, it will write the progress in a log file"<strong>scedcpro.log</strong>" <br />

I am quite sure that by now you must have read my previous post on how to enable Recycle Bin in Windows 2012 Server and if not then I would request you to read it before you start reading this post as that post will give you an insight of what exactly is a Recycle Bin<br />
<br />
<b>How to Enable Recycle Bin in Active Directory Administrative Center</b><br />
<a href="http://www.adshotgyan.com/2014/11/how-to-enable-recycle-bin-in-active.html">http://www.adshotgyan.com/2014/11/how-to-enable-recycle-bin-in-active.html</a><br />
<br />
In this post, we will learn how to use the Recycle Bin which we have enabled which means we will try to recover deleted data using Recycle Bin<br />
<br />
In my Active Directory, I have created one OU named "Managers" and have created two users "Manager1" and "Manager2"<br />
<br />
<b>Note: </b>You can restore the users from Recycle Bin either using Powershell or the Active Directory Administrative Center. Choice is Yours<br />

Now, Lets jump back to our Active Directory Administrative Center<br />
<br />
In my previous post, How to Enable Recycle Bin in Active Directory Administrative Center<br />
<b><a href="http://www.adshotgyan.com/2014/11/how-to-enable-recycle-bin-in-active.html"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.adshotgyan.com/2014/11/how-to-enable-recycle-bin-in-active.html</span></a></b>, I have discussed different ways of restoring deleted from Active Directory. The key benefit of using Recycle Bin is that you get back "<b>ALL</b>" the attributes of a deleted object as opposed to restoring objects using LDP/ADRestore<br />
<br />
So, to prove my above point, I will add this Manager1 to one more group. Currently, Manager1 is a member of Domain Users group, lets make it a part of administrators group as well<br />

Deletion, Deletion & Deletion. One of the biggest nightmare for any administrator. Be it files & folders or objects in Active Directory. And I think, Even Microsoft understand the sentiments of an administrator that is why with each new operating system, Microsoft is trying to ease out the process of recovering data. At least, objects in Active Directory :)<br />
<br />
Before Windows 2008 Server was introduced, there were following ways of recovering deleted data in active directory:-<br />
<br />
- Backup<br />
- LDP<br />
- ADRestore<br />
<br />
From Windows Server 2008 R2, there is a new feature introduced which can be used to recover deleted objects from active directory - The "<b>RECYCLE BIN"</b><br />
<br />
<b><u>Backup</u></b><br />
<br />
This is one component where many administrators fails. Ask them if they have a backup and there is "<b>Silence</b>"... Nah... Don`t say No... We understood :) <br />
<br />
Also, even if you have a backup, it should be "<b>Valid</b>"<br />
<br />
"Valid" because if as an administrator you come to me and say that you have a year old backup, then you can expect me asking you to dump that backup in trash. huh. Cmon.. One year old backup??? Do you have any idea about an attribute <strong>tombstoneLifetime</strong>"?<br />
<br />
If no, then do read this article...<br />
<br />
Useful shelf life of a system-state backup of Active Directory<br />
<a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216993"><span style="color: blue;">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216993</span></a><br />
<br />
Excerpt from the above article "<em>The "tombstoneLifetime" attribute represents the number of days a backup of Active Directory can be used in addition to the frequency with which Garbage Collection routines (removing items previously marked for deletion) are run</em>"<br />
<br />
And the value of tombstoneLifetime is 180 days, so ideally a backup which is less then 180 days of age can only be used<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<b><u>LDP</u> </b><br />
<br />
Restoring objects can be "<b>Quite</b>" useful especially when you don`t have a backup<br />
<br />
"Quite" because when you restore AD Objects using LDP, it will NOT restore ALL the attributes of the restored object. For Example, When you restore a User Object, it will not restore the Group Membership of the User Accounts.<br />
<br />
To know on how to restore deleted objects using LDP :-<br />
<br />
<b>How to Restore Deleted AD Objects Using LDP</b><br />
<a href="http://www.adshotgyan.com/2010/11/how-to-restore-deleted-ad-objects-using_27.html"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.adshotgyan.com/2010/11/how-to-restore-deleted-ad-objects-using_27.html</span></a><br />
<br />
<strong><u>ADRestore</u></strong><br />
<br />
Ideally, administrators who have been working on Active Directory should not find LDP or ADSIEDIT very complex, but its "Ideally"... Generally they do...<br />
<br />
For all those who have a phobia of browsing into LDP or ADSIEDIT, Microsoft came up with very cool and simplified tool to restore deleted objects. Basically, what this toll will do is to connect to the same Deleted Objects container where all the deleted objects are moved after deletion from active directory console and will list all the deleted objects and will ask you if you wants to recover these deleted objects<br />
<br />
To know on how to restore deleted objects using ADRestore :-<br />
<br />
<b>How to Restore Deleted AD Objects Using ADRestore</b><br />
<a href="http://www.adshotgyan.com/2010/11/how-to-restore-deleted-ad-objects-using.html"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.adshotgyan.com/2010/11/how-to-restore-deleted-ad-objects-using.html</span></a><br />
<br />
Two drawbacks on using ADRestore were :-<br />
<br />
- Just like with LDP, when you restore objects using ADRestore, it does NOT restore all the attributes of an object<br />
<br />
- If you have 1000 objects in Deleted Object Container, it will one by one list all the objects and will ask you if you want to restore that object or not. So think about a situation where the object which you wants to restore is at 999 position in the list of 1000 deleted objects.... So you have to press "N" button 998 times.... And what if by mistake you pressed N button on the 999th time as well.... All what I can say... Sorry :(<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Recycle Bin</u></strong><br />
<br />
<strong>In Windows Server 2008 R2</strong><br />
<br />
With Windows 2008 R2, Microsoft came up with a very cool feature "Recycle Bin". No, that is not the same Recycle Bin which you see on your desktop. This Recycle Bin will store all the deleted objects of Active Directory and you as an administrator can recover these objects<br />
<br />
By default, Recycle Bin is not enabled and remember this... when you enable Recycle Bin, the size of NTDS.DIT will increase. <br />
<br />
The only drawback of Recycle Bin in Widows Server 2008 R2 was that enabling recycle bin and recovering objects from the recycle bin was all command based (Powershell) and a bit lengthy process as well<br />
<br />
To know more about Recycle Bin :-<br />

<br />
<strong>In Windows Server 2012</strong><br />
<br />
In Windows Server 2012, the same Recycle Bin now have a GUI <br />
<br />
- Open the Active Directory Administrative Center<br />
- Click on <DomainName> (Local) in left pane<br />
- On right pane, click on "Enable Recycle Bin"<br />
<br />
Did you said that the option "Enable Recycle Bin" is grayed out? Yes, You might be correct<br />

<br />
This could be because even though you are running Windows Server 2012, the Functional Level may be less. For Recycle Bin to be enabled, you need to have a minimum of Windows 2008 R2 Forest Functional Level<br />
<br />
And I have a Domain Functional Level at Windows Server 2008<br />

I have been saying this in nearly all my posts on Windows Server 2012 that Microsoft is making big efforts to mark its name in cloud computing and Remote Desktop Services in Windows Server 2012 is no exception. It seems that even this component was designed keeping in mind the concept of cloud computing & virtualization.<br />
<br />
In my previous post "<b>Installing Remote Desktop Services as Role Based</b> (<a href="http://www.adshotgyan.com/2014/10/installing-rds-as-role-based.html"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.adshotgyan.com/2014/10/installing-rds-as-role-based.html</span></a>)", we talked about on how to install and configure Remote Desktop Services using the old conventional way<br />
<br />
In this post, we will go through a new way of installing and configuring the Remote Desktop Services<br />

<b>Deployment Scenario</b><br />
<br />
- Virtual Machine Based Desktop Deployment<br />
- Session Based Desktop Deployment<br />
<br />
As I said in the beginning on this post that Microsoft is keeping Cloud Computing and Virtualization in mind while designing the new products, this screen and the options mentioned here is a prime example of the same<br />
<br />
Cloud Computing and Virtualization are two sides of the same coin, you simply cannot keep them apart. A cloud cannot be built without virtualization<br />

<b>RD Connection Broker Server</b><br />
<br />
Formerly known as Terminal Services Session Broker (TS Session Broker) it has three major functions:-<br />
<br />
- Load Balancing<br />
- Re-connection of User`s Session<br />
- Provide access to RemoteApp and Desktop Sessions<br />
<br />
<b>Load Balancing</b> <b>:</b> Suppose we have three Remote Desktop Host Servers (Terminal Servers). There are 300 users in my domain who will require remote connections to these servers. When these 300 users will connect to the Remote Desktop Servers, either of these things will happen:-<br />
<br />
- All the users are connected to the same Remote Desktop Server... In that case, I have my full sympathy for that poor Remote Desktop Server. Not only he has to bear all the load, at the same time he will die of jealously seeing that two of his counterparts are relaxing and doing nothing... <br />
<br />
- All the user`s connections are random. So users are redirected to Remote Desktop Servers randomly.. Again... One thing which will matter the most is "Luck"... What if Saturn is against Remote Desktop Server 1... The same situation will arise which happened above... All connections will be established on the Remote Desktop Server 1 or at least majority of the connections on Remote Desktop Server 1 and the other two servers again enjoying very less work...<br />
<br />
<i>(Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.... :) )</i><br />
<br />
- All the connections are evenly distributed... Wow... That`s the ideal situation.. Now this is the job of RD Connection Broker. To allocate user`s connections evenly across all the servers....<br />
<br />
<b>Re-connection of User`s Session : </b>Imagine, I was going to Shimla (India) in a toy train (See you got some additional info beside knowing about Remote Desktop Services, now you know that there is a train to Shimla (India))<br />
<br />
I was connected to a Remote Desktop Server and had opened some applications. Now all of a sudden the train passed through a tunnel (btw there are 103 tunnels on that route... wow you got to know more, I think you might be able to get all the info about that train by the time this post will be over :) )<br />
<br />
Now this is not news to you that while the train will pass through the tunnel, network connectivity will / may be lost. Untill and unless I happened to be a very close relative of Sunil Mittal who might have got a special tower installed for me on that tunnel, I will also lose the internet connection and the session with the Remote Desktop Server as well.<br />
<br />
When the train came out of the tunnel, the signal will be restored. But wait... What happened... Where are the applications on which I was working... hmm... You know what.. I think this time I got connected to Remote Desktop Server 2 and previously I was connected to the Remote Desktop Server 1... :(<br />
<br />
So does it mean that I have to start over again... And what if before I complete my work the next tunnel comes and the signal is lost again.... Poor me...<br />
<br />
Anyways... To help me with this situation, we have the RD Connection Broker Role which "Remembers" the user name and the name of the server to which the user was connected at the last disconnected session so that when the session is restored, the user will be connected back to the same old server... Cool na... (I think Microsoft fed Almonds and walnuts to its Remote Desktop Connection Broker Role that why his/her (I don't wanna be biased and use "his" everywhere else the females reading this post will feel offended :P ) memory retention is so strong)<br />
<br />
In the screen below, you have to select the Server Name for the RD Connection Broker Role and then click on the Arrow so that this server will be selected<br />

<b>RD Web Access Server</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Formerly known as Terminal Services Web Access (TS Web Access)<br />
<br />
A user connects to a RD Web Access Server which in turn connects to the RD Connection Broker. The RD Connection Broker returns all the applications which a user will have access to and then the RD Web Access Server will make those applications available to the end user either on a web page or on the start menu (Windows 7) or RemoteApps Desktop Connections (RADC) (Windows 8)<br />
<br />
In the screen below, you have to select the Server Name for the RD Web Access Server Role and then click on the Arrow so that this server will be selected<br />

<b>RD Session Host Servers</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Formerly known as Terminal Services Configuration<br />
<br />
The RD Session Host Server host all the applications which a user uses. These applications are installed and run on this server.<br />
<br />
You can use these application by using a full remote session on the server using RDP or these applications can be published using RemoteApp<br />

<br />
Select "Restart the destination server automatically if required". This is not mandatory but if you are like me who need a coffee shot after every few minutes then you can select this option so that while the server reboots, you can get a cup of "Black Coffee" :)<br />

Click on "Overview" and you will see a very neat diagram<br />
<br />
This diagram consist of six components of Remote Desktop Services<br />
<br />
(<b>Also known as Role Services where Role here would be the remote Desktop Services and the following will be its services</b>)<br />
<br />
- RD Web Server<br />
- RD Gateway<br />
- RD Licensing<br />
- RD Connection Broker<br />
- RD Virtualization Host<br />
- RD Session Host<br />

<br />
Now if you look at the diagram, you will find that out of six icons listed (one for each role feature of Remote Desktop Services), two are GREEN in color. Why? (oh no no... these roles are not environmental friendly)<br />
<br />
It because they are not add in this "Deployment"... A new word in Windows 2012 Server...<br />

A certificate is required to be installed on the RD Gateway.. This is because the job of RD Gateway is to allow connections from internet to its RD Host Servers. Now if these connections are not secure then it can harm your internal domain. So a certificate is required on this server<br />

If you look at the diagram, you will now notice that all the six role services are grey in color.. So does it mean that all of these services are installed.. ?<br />
<br />
No... Look again...<br />
<br />
The Role Service "RD Virtualization Host" has a dotted line instead of a solid line... Which means that this service was not required... And why was it not required.. Because we have not selected the virtual machine based desktop deployment and instead selected the session based desktop deployment<br />

<b>Collections :- </b>And here comes the most exciting new feature of Remote Desktop Services in Windows Server 2012<br />
<br />
What is a collection..? A Collection is a collection of Remote Desktop Services roles service (RD Web Server, RD Gateway, RD Licensing, RD Connection Broker, RD Virtualization Host, RD Session Host) on a particular server. Simple.. :)<br />
<br />
What used to be a "<b>Farm</b>" in Windows 2008 is a "<b>Collection</b>" in Windows Server 2012<br />
<br />
One RD Host Server can be added to only one collection<br />
<br />

Now once you have added this server in this collection and you create another collection, then on this page for the new collection, this server will not be listed as this has already been added in a collection<br />

Enable User Profile Disk (UPD)....<br />
<br />
I really wanted to move on to the next slide but since its UPD, I cant stop myself from saying few words on it<br />
<br />
Without discussing the difficulties that you might get while working with UPD, the key point to discuss here is, what exactly is UPD...<br />
<br />
UPD or the User Profile Disk is configured on a Remote Desktop Session. It is a replacement for Remote Desktop User Profiles. It creates a disk (VHD) for every user in which user data / profile is stored<br />

<br />
<b>Load Balancing</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Controlling how many sessions can be created on a RD Host Server when there are more then one server. So you can specify the relative weight and the session limit for each RD Host Server. So if I specify the session limit to 10, then only 10 active connections can be established on this server<br />
<br />
Also, the relative weight will govern the priority to be given to a RD Host Server<br />

Once all this is done, now lets have a look at the different snap-ins available for different Remote Desktop Services<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, only three span-ins are available<br />
<br />
- RD Licensing Diagnoser<br />
- Remote Desktop Gateway Manager<br />
- Remote Desktop Licensing Manager<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>RD Licensing Diagnoser</b><br />

This is the same as what is used to happen in Windows 2008<br />
<br />
It list any warning / errors on the RD Licensing Server or if the RD Host Server is able to find and connect to the RD Licensing Server<br />

Terminal Services in Windows Server 2003 and Remote Desktop Services in Windows 2008 R2 is one component of the windows server family which I believe is used (Directly or Indirectly) by nearly all the organisations using Microsoft Servers.<br />
<br />
What made me say "<i>Indirectly</i>". Its the fact that if you are using Citrix and not Microsoft for remote connections then also you will need to install Remote Desktop Services Component as Citrix runs ON Remote Desktop Services. It will install the Remote Desktop Services Host component as a pre-requisite for the Citrix XenApp to be installed.<br />
<br />
Now lets have a look on how to install and configure Remote Desktop Services in Windows Server 2012<br />
<br />
<b>Remote Desktop Services in Windows Server 2012 has Six Components</b>:-<br />
<br />
- Remote Desktop Connection Broker<br />
- Remote Desktop Gateway<br />
- Remote Desktop Licensing<br />
- Remote Desktop Session Host<br />
- Remote Desktop Visualization Host<br />
- Remote Desktop Web Access<br />
<br />

Select the option "<b>Role Based or Feature Based Installations</b>". I know you will surely be thinking that when we do have an option of "<b>Remote Desktop Services Installation</b>" so why choose that. Let me explain this.<br />
<br />
In Windows Server 2012, we have two ways to install and configure Remote Desktop Services <br />
<br />
<b>Role Based or Feature Based Installations : </b>This is the old way of installing Remote Desktop Components where in you will select which role you would like to install on this server like we use to do in Windows 2003 / Windows 2008<br />
<br />
<b>Remote Desktop Services Installation : </b>Introduced in Windows Server 2012, <b> </b>Its a new way to configure Remote Desktop Services which will help you to collectively install all the required components of Remote Desktop Services using wizards. We will have a look into this in a later post<br />
<br />

<br />
Now this is something which can be safely ignored by many but to me it is a great feature which has been introduced in Windows Server 2012. This feature will help you to install any component / feature on a remote server which will surely make life of a server administrator easy<br />

Select the option of "<b>Restart</b>" so that you don't have to sit in front of the server to press reboot after the component is installed. You can grab a sandwich while the component is getting installed and when you will be back the server would have been rebooted automatically :)<br />

To verify if the components "Remote Desktop Session Host" and "Remote Desktop Licensing" were installed, you can click on <b>Tools </b>in Server Manager and then click on "Terminal Services"....<br />
<br />
Strange... Terminal Services...??? I thought its new name was "Remote Desktop Services"... Confusing... huh<br />
<br />
But wait... The confusion doesn't ends here... I can see the following options under "Terminal Services"<br />
<br />
- RD Licensing Diagnoser<br />
- Remote Desktop Licensing Manager<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
But where is my "<b>Remote Desktop Session Host</b>". Unfortunately, there is NO Snap-In for the <b>Remote Desktop Session Host </b>in this type of installation. Why? Don`t ask me... Ask Microsoft :)<br />

A very important configuration which needs to be done is the "<i><b>Discovery</b></i>"<br />
<br />
Discovery of the Remote Desktop Licensing Server by the Remote Desktop Session Host Server<br />
<br />
In Windows Server 2012, Discovery is done using Group Policy:-<br />
<br />
<b>"Use the specified Remote Desktop license servers"</b><br />
<br />
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Licensing<br />

<strong><u>vm.genid</u></strong><br />
<strong><u></u></strong><br />
Every Virtual Machine has a Configuration File. The configuration file consist of all the settings of the virtual machine like settings related to Ethernet, Keyboard, Mouse, Sound, USB etc....<br />
<br />
In Server 2012, Microsoft introduced a new attribute in the configuration file called "<strong>VM.GENID</strong>" or also known as VM Generation ID. Although, I wont be talking about what is the use of this vm.genid in this post but just to let you know that this attribute will be used when we will make VDC - Virtual Domain Controller<br />
<br />
For now lets open a configuration file of Windows Server 2012 and check out this attribute. For this post I have used VMWare Workstation but the configuration file is the nearly the same be it any Virtualization Software <br />
<strong><u></u></strong><br />

<br />
I know you guys will never trust me that this attribute ONLY came in Windows 2012 so as a proof <br />
(One of my dear friend knows that I usually ask for proofs and I am known for not trusting people so easily... As if you guys are interested in knowing what I like and dislike.. huh) I will also check out a configuration file of Windows 2008 R2 to see if the attribute vm.genid exist in it or not<br />

<em><strong>The Active Directory Administrative Center (dsac.msc) :- </strong></em>Not a new Feature of Windows Server 2012 (As it was there even in Windows Server 2008 R2) but few changes which have been incorporated are worth exploring<br />
<br />
<strong>Ways to Open "Active Directory Administrative Center":-</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
- By default, there will be a Tile for the Active Directory Administrative Center on the Start Page<br />
- If the tile is not present, then start typing "Active Directory Administrative Center" and you <br />
will get the option on the page itself<br />
- On the start page, type dsac.msc and you will get the option (dsac.msc is the shortcut for Active <br />
Directory Administrative Center) <br />
- On the Server Manager Page, Click on Tools and then choose Active Directory Administrative <br />
Center <br />

When you click on the domain name, you can view all the Containers and Organizational Units (OU)<br />
<br />
Suppose you have a large domain comprising of several OUs within OUs... Looking, Browsing and managing this kind of complex domain makes things complicated... So to make it look simple and to easily manage it, you can add a node here. A node here means a part of the hierarchical structure, So it could mean adding a node containing an OU which might have only Users/Groups or Sub OUs.... But then that will make manageability easier... Much Easier<br />

<br />
Right Click on the Domain Name<br />
<br />
- Change Domain Controller<br />
- Raise the Forest Functional Level<br />
- Raise the Domain Functional Level<br />
- <strong>Enable Recycle Bin</strong><br />
- New<br />
- Search under this node<br />
- Properties<br />
<br />
<strong>Change Domain Controller</strong>: Allows you to change the domain controller so that you can manage the other domain controller from the same Snap-In<br />
<br />
<strong>Raise the Forest Functional Level: </strong>The option which was earlier available in Active Directory Domain and Trust is now integrated in this Snap-In<br />
<br />
<strong>Raise the Domain Functional Level: </strong>The option to raise domain functional level was available in Active Directory Users and Computers is now also available in this Snp-In<br />
<br />
<strong>Enable Recycle Bin: </strong>One of my favorite options because I hate to do recovery from ADRestore / LDP or by using Backups... Thanks to Microsoft for making this option and above all simplifying the option to enable and use it, else the option was available in Windows Server 2008 R2 as well but then the configuration was so complicated (Not exactly complicated but it requires us to run certain powershell commands), but now the option is GUI Based and So Simple... I m loving It.... :)<br />
<br />
<strong>New: </strong>To Create Group/Computer/User/InetOrgPerson/Organizational Unit<br />
<br />
<strong>Search Under this Node: </strong>So now you can search under any node (Domain / OU / Container)<br />
<br />
<strong>Properties: </strong>And you really want me to discuss this???<br />

<strong>Dynamic Access Control</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
A new feature and most talked about (Indeed) introduced in Windows Server 2012. I will not be discussing about it right now as we have another post coming on it very soon<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<strong>Global Search</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
When we were at the domain level, there was an option "Search Under this Node". When you choose that option, it will bring you to this option "Global Search". Depending upon on which node you did a right click and selected the option "Search under this node", the "Scope" listed on this page of "Global Search" will change<br />
<br />
Right now the Scope is set to "Source" which happens to be our domain name. The scope is set to the domain name here because we did a right click on the domain name and selected the option "Search Under this Node". The scope would have been different if we would have chosen a different OU and then have done a right click to select the option "Search under this Node"<br />

<strong>Windows PowerShell History</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
While I was working on Exchange 2007 last year, One thing which I really liked was the usage and exposure of PowerShell Commands<br />
<br />
So if I was to create a Mailbox, at the end of the wizard it would have shown me the PowerShell Command that will be executed, so that next time instead of using GUI, I can use the same PowerShell Command or can make a script out of it<br />
<br />
Now, In Windows Server 2012, the same thing "PowerShell Commands" has been Incorporated<br />
You make any change in Active Directory and it will show you the PowerShell Command that it will execute<br />
<br />
In Active Directory Administrative Center, there is a Windows PowerShell History at the bottom of the Window<br />
<br />

In My Previous Post ("<strong>Promoting a Domain Controller on Windows Server 2012</strong> "<a href="http://www.adshotgyan.com/2012/09/promoting-domain-controller-on-windows.html"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.adshotgyan.com/2012/09/promoting-domain-controller-on-windows.html</span></a>") we saw how to promote a new domain controller. <br />
<br />
In this post, we will go through the process of promoting an additional domain controller. Although, there is not much of a difference, but since this is a new operating system (Windows Server 2012), I just want to make sure that we do cover each and every aspect of it<br />
<br />
So Let`s Go.....<br />
<br />
Using our previous lab, We have the following:-<br />
<br />
Domain Controller: DC1<br />
DNS Server: DC1<br />
Domain: Source.com<br />
<br />
Now, we have a Windows Server 2012 (DC2) which is currently in a Work Group and we need to promote this server as an additional domain controller<br />
<br />

And this will add the required features Automatically...<br />
<br />
I still remember
those days when we use to install some components and then it would pop up with
a message stating that it first require some other roles to be installed and
then installing those components would have required a disc.. Ahh... Microsoft
has made things so easy and on the fly... <br />

<br />
Once the Installation is done, and you close the wizard, don't expect anything
to happen automatically... Neither try to search for dcpromo again.... On the
Server Manager Page, You will now notice a Yellow Exclamation Mark (As if
Exclamation Marks are of different colors... Its always Yellow)<br />
<br />
Click on
that Notification Icon with the Exclamation Mark (Yellow Of course)<br />
<br />

<br />
First, Let`s go to the Task Details<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga9kiBOugR-yx9dpAOw0cx1bUM6GGyEIk9_4i0P5MA3mtf6Q-YJdlXiUfCOPrQLM4VYXcRE6WI1Qrm6oI30EXbChbpiCyVKQ6wAZbKGx8NhnGWp70Hqn_jaeNOII7M_C17WTqtHIDNGXU/s1600/DC2-2012-09-08-21-30-23.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga9kiBOugR-yx9dpAOw0cx1bUM6GGyEIk9_4i0P5MA3mtf6Q-YJdlXiUfCOPrQLM4VYXcRE6WI1Qrm6oI30EXbChbpiCyVKQ6wAZbKGx8NhnGWp70Hqn_jaeNOII7M_C17WTqtHIDNGXU/s640/DC2-2012-09-08-21-30-23.PNG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
So there is something known as "Post Deployment Configuration"... And the Action
is "Promote the Server as a Domain Controller"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcWNgxktHsf6q2QwAmZaO2IVnZtmdjZUKYnROai20xR4kYCT1WVlxrpJ9C24-WVqwdQQLJUJfkT6F1yB4RAybn7RBRrI0PJinL19_YjtmoiJPPwTBILu_x29T3w-Xbj0se84a7nOZPtg8/s1600/DC2-2012-09-08-21-31-09.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcWNgxktHsf6q2QwAmZaO2IVnZtmdjZUKYnROai20xR4kYCT1WVlxrpJ9C24-WVqwdQQLJUJfkT6F1yB4RAybn7RBRrI0PJinL19_YjtmoiJPPwTBILu_x29T3w-Xbj0se84a7nOZPtg8/s640/DC2-2012-09-08-21-31-09.PNG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Select the Link either from here "Task Details" or directly from the
Notification" Window which we clicked earlier<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvSUM-MezYn7cBCP_5PFklUaSxTqqyfG3wZiZqWp9Qaw0NYDnjquh7TBsbygoYIV2mKFJvzFGyjwpScBE33gjfUB0yRjIie72BxTH-6u2ehea5szIo3L_Vt_8ZqTnrKZ7Kr9l0VyDWXbE/s1600/DC2-2012-09-08-21-31-13.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvSUM-MezYn7cBCP_5PFklUaSxTqqyfG3wZiZqWp9Qaw0NYDnjquh7TBsbygoYIV2mKFJvzFGyjwpScBE33gjfUB0yRjIie72BxTH-6u2ehea5szIo3L_Vt_8ZqTnrKZ7Kr9l0VyDWXbE/s640/DC2-2012-09-08-21-31-13.PNG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And the Configuration Window now Launches<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As said, Select the Link either from the "Task Details" or directly from this
Notification" Window.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The DCPROMO has gone... But has left the same old
options....<br />
<br />
<strong>Deployment Options</strong><br />
<br />
- Add a domain
controller to an existing domain<br />
- Add a new domain to an existing domain<br />
- Add a new forest<br />

<br />
What else do you want to host on this domain controller??<br />
<br />
- DNS<br />
- GC<br />
- RODC<br />
<br />
Also, Specify the name of the site this domain controller will belong to after its promotion<br />
<br />
At last, specify the password for the DSRM Mode<br />
<br />

I keep on saying "remember"... coz that helps a lot in co-relating the new
server with the old one<br />
<br />
In Windows Server 2008, While running DCPROMO,
during the installation of DNS, we use to get a small pop-up for Failed to get
DNS delegation... That was because, by default when you install AD and DNS, the
server tries to create a delegation for the zone above your domain name.. Like
you are creating a domain lab.com, now the server will automatically try to
connect to the zone (com) to create a delegation for your domain (lab) which it
will fail (but of course) as you will be ab administrator of your own domain but
do are NOT an administrator for the "com" domain.. Simple<br />
<br />
So In Windows
Server 2012, the same thing happens again but is displayed in a slightly
different way<br />
Now, Instead of the pop-up, you have this line and a small link
"show more"<br />
<br />

A new option which was not there when we promoted our first domain controller<br />
<br />
<strong>Install From Media</strong>: Also known as IFM, this is basically used when we want to promote another domain controller and the domain controller to be promoted is at a site which do not have sufficient connectivity with the other site which has the other domain controller. We know that during the promotion of an additional domain controller, the additional domain controller replicates all the information of the active directory from an other domain controller which requires bandwidth. In the absence of sufficient bandwidth, the promotion of an additional domain controller may fail<br />
<br />
At this time, we can use IFM. In IFM, we first take the backup of active directory from any other domain controller and then on this server to be promoted as a domain controller, we select the option of IFM. Once selected, the server will be installed from the backup that we have taken from the other domain controller instead of replicating the data<br />
<br />
Along with, we now have another option which gives us an option to select the domain controller from which we want this server to replicate the information of active directory while promoting it as a domain controller. Usually, in previous version of operating system, the additional domain controller could go to any domain controller to replicate the data during the promotion of additional domain controller<br />
<br />
But now we do have an option of specifying to which domain controller this server should go to get the information about active directory while promoting itself as an additional domain controller<br />

Great... The PowerShell Script... As I said Earlier, Just like Exchange 2007
(In which everything you do has an associated PowerShell Command getting
displayed at the end), In Windows Server 2012 also the same thing happens... At
the end of this deployment, it showed you the powershell script that will be
executed and the same script you can use to promote another server<br />

Prerequisite Checker is there in Exchange 2007 and now
has been incorporated in Windows Server 2012. This small but very efficient tool
helps you to determine if there is feature/component which is missing before it
actually starts installing Active Directory<br />

<em><strong>Dear All, With due Respect I wish to Inform the Sudden Demise of Our Friend "DCPROMO".....</strong></em><br />
<br />
Yes... That Is True.... You heard it right... DCPROMO Is no more with us.. I mean.. No more in Windows Server 2012<br />
<br />
Remember... How many times you ran that sweet command... And now... It has become a history... R.I.P "DCPROMO"<br />
<br />
Starting Windows Server 2012, the way to promote a server to a domain controller has been changed.. Let`s See How...<br />
<br />
The First Window that you will get by default will be that of "Server Manager"<br />
<br />
To know more about Server Manager, Please read the following post "<strong>The Server Manager - Windows Server 2012</strong> (<a href="http://www.adshotgyan.com/2012/09/the-server-manager-windows-server-2012.html"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.adshotgyan.com/2012/09/the-server-manager-windows-server-2012.html</span></a>)"<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Its not only DCPROMO which is no longer with us... There is one more thing which we gonna miss... Our dear "<strong><em>Start</em></strong>"button .... Yes... You again heard it right.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Read the following post to believe me: "<strong>The "Start" Has To End - Windows Server 2012 </strong>(<a href="http://www.adshotgyan.com/2012/09/the-start-has-to-end-windows-server-2012.html"><span style="color: blue;">http://www.adshotgyan.com/2012/09/the-start-has-to-end-windows-server-2012.html</span></a>)"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So here is our new Start....To get this page, just press the windows key on the main page (Server Manager) and you will get this new start page</div>
<br />

<br />
Searching for Start or Run...??? Nah.... Just start writing what ever you want to search... DCPROMO<br />
I know you don't trust me... Fine... Find it then.... Yeah... You are able to find it.. Run it then<br />

See.. I told You... Its clearly saying that AD DS Installation Wizard is relocated in Server Manager... So without wasting any more time in proving that DCPROMO is gone, lets go to Server Manager<br />

Now this page is interesting... As I said in my previous post that Microsoft has designed Windows Server 2012 keeping in mind Cloud Computing... And this is one fine example after Storage Pool is this page...<br />
<br />
So let`s assume that you have to deploy a domain controller on another location. What all options do you have?<br />
<br />
1. To go on to that site and install active directory (See I didn't said run dcpromo :))<br />
2. To get that server here and then install active directory<br />
<br />
In the world of Cloud Computing, We are moving towards Server Virtualization. So what if I make a Virtual Machine here on my own machine, Install Active Directory on it and then send that Virtual Machine to the Remote Location (Why to send it... Upload the VHD on a Virtualized SAN... Yes Friends, That's the Future of IT)<br />

And this will add the required features Automatically...<br />
<br />
I still remember those days when we use to install some components and then it would pop up with a message stating that it first require some other roles to be installed and then installing those components would have required a disc.. Ahh... Microsoft has made things so easy and on the fly... <br />

I keep on saying "remember"... coz that helps a lot in co-relating the new server with the old one<br />
<br />
In Windows Server 2008, While running DCPROMO, during the installation of DNS, we use to get a small pop-up for Failed to get DNS delegation... That was because, by default when you install AD and DNS, the server tries to create a delegation for the zone above your domain name.. Like you are creating a domain lab.com, now the server will automatically try to connect to the zone (com) to create a delegation for your domain (lab) which it will fail (but of course) as you will be ab administrator of your own domain but do are NOT an administrator for the "com" domain.. Simple<br />
<br />
So In Windows Server 2012, the same thing happens again but is displayed in a slightly different way<br />
Now, Instead of the pop-up, you have this line and a small link "show more"<br />
<br />

Great... The PowerShell Script... As I said Earlier, Just like Exchange 2007 (In which everything you do has an associated PowerShell Command getting displayed at the end), In Windows Server 2012 also the same thing happens... At the end of this deployment, it showed you the powershell script that will be executed and the same script you can use to promote another server<br />

Another very cool feature... "<strong>Prerequisite Check</strong>"<br />
<br />
Prerequisite Checker is there in Exchange 2007 and now has been incorporated in Windows Server 2012. This small but very efficient tool helps you to determine if there is feature/component which is missing before it actually starts installing Active Directory<br />

And now the configuration of Active Directory Starts... I will not be explaining all the forth coming slides as they are self explanatory.. They are the same which use to be in DCPROMO like Replication Domain Partition, Replication Schema Partition, Configuring DNS, LSA etc....<br />

The All New Windows Server 2012 has a New "<strong>Server Manager</strong>"<br />
<br />
In this post, we will try to explore the new features of this new "<strong>Server Manager</strong>". For this post, the Server Manager that you will see is not the Server Manager of a Raw Windows Server 2012. Indeed, It is a Server Manager of a Domain Controller and a DNS Server Installed on a Windows Server 2012 Server. I guess that should be the correct way of looking at Server Manager otherwise you will miss a lot of options which get added in Server Manager after you make the server as a Domain Controller<br />
<br />
Server Manager is not new to our Server operating System. It was first introduced in Windows 2008 but takes my words... It has Changed... And for Good (ofcourse)<br />
<br />
I usually don't do Praises (be it for People or Anything Else)... But In these few posts on Windows Server 2012, you will see me praising a lot about the new Windows Server 2012 and its features...<br />
Not because I have been paid for it {I wish If I would... Rather I don't even get paid for writing these posts :( } but because genuinely speaking this time Microsoft has integrated lots of cool and useful features that can actually make administrators work earlier and simplified... Thanks Microsoft :)<br />
<br />
<strong>Server Manager</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
The Server Manager is divided into three parts.... Honestly speaking, I don't know what Mcrosoft has termed these but for this post, I would say three panes<br />
<br />
- Top Pane<br />
- Middle Pane (The Main Part) (The Middle Pane is further divided into Sub Windows)<br />
- Left Pane (Displays Roles Installed on that Server)<br />
<br />
Once you click on any of the Role on the Left Pane, You will get few Sub Windows in the Middle Pane (These may vary depending upon the Role)<br />
<br />
- Properties <br />
- Events <br />
- Services <br />
- Best Practice Analyzer <br />
- Performance<br />
- Roles and Features<br />
<br />
Lets Start Now.........<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><u>The Top Pane</u></strong><br />
<br />
On the Top Pane, We have the following options:-<br />
<br />
- Refresh<br />
- Notification<br />
- Manage<br />
- Tools<br />
- View<br />
- Help<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<strong>Notification</strong><br />
<br />
Notification option will give us the details of any recent task or activity that were performed and any task which is pending<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIXAfH2qq-V2zmvmRGRHNA1W-0-cqWGj5-ng3vIw4MqMYjQMFkJrjzIDST6oWzGmgaIL51rWPtV1d3N36n8oP4q_wvP-T87FMBn8ohiICd2tmc_8mZke0BjAbF-Er15jV_SyrvWsotyQs/s1600/DC1-2012-09-09-17-58-06.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIXAfH2qq-V2zmvmRGRHNA1W-0-cqWGj5-ng3vIw4MqMYjQMFkJrjzIDST6oWzGmgaIL51rWPtV1d3N36n8oP4q_wvP-T87FMBn8ohiICd2tmc_8mZke0BjAbF-Er15jV_SyrvWsotyQs/s640/DC1-2012-09-09-17-58-06.PNG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Click on the Notification button and you will get the list of notifications (At this time there are no recent task that is why its blank) and an option of "Task Details". Clicking on "task Details" will open up the Task Page<br />

<strong>Tools</strong><br />
<br />
Remember those old days when we use to click on the "Start" Button and then Select "Administrative Tools"..... Now....<br />
<br />
Open Server Manager - Select Tools <br />
<br />
This displays all the Snap-Ins / Features / Roles that are currently Installed on the Server<br />
<br />

<strong>View</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Zoom (In case you are either old or have forgotten your glasses at home :)) and "Hide Welcome Screen"<br />
<br />
I really don't think you would like to hide the Welcome Screen because unlike Windows 2008, We have quite important options in the welcome screen. (As stated earlier, Microsoft have really worked on things keeping in mind the requirement of administrators)<br />

<br />
<strong><u>Left Pane</u></strong><br />
<br />
- DashBoard<br />
- Local Server<br />
- All Servers<br />
- File and Storage Services<br />
<br />
(The above options are the "<em>default</em>" options available when you install the Windows Server 2012 Operating System without adding any other role. As and when you start adding roles and features, you will start getting more options on the left pane. For Example, One this server is promoted as a domain controller, you will get the option of "AD DS" which was not present earlier<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="background-color: yellow;">DashBoard</span></strong><br />
<br />
One of the "<em>Coolest</em>" Feature of Server Manager. Dashboard displays a "Welcome Screen" and "Tiles"<br />
<br />
<strong><em>Welcome Screen </em>:</strong> Gives you the following options:-<br />
<br />
- To Add Roles and Features<br />
- Add another server to manage<br />
- Create a server group<br />
- Whats New<br />
- Learn More<br />

<br />
<br />
<strong><em>Tiles : </em></strong>I would say its displaying the Roles that are currently installed on the server in a very concise way which gives a glimpse of if the particular role is working fine or if there are some issues which needs to be addressed. As you can see, The AD DS Role (Since this being a domain controller) is <span style="color: lime;"><strong>Green </strong><span style="color: black;">which means that there are no issues in Active Directory where as the Local Server is </span></span><span style="color: red;"><strong>Red </strong></span><span style="color: black;">which means that there are some errors which needs to be taken care of.... Cool.... Isn't it ??</span><br />

<strong><span style="background-color: yellow;">Local Server</span></strong><br />
<br />
As stated in the beginning of this post, The Middle Pane is further divided into sub windows. So if I click on Local Server, then in the middle pane, I will set few Sub Windows like (Properties, Events, Services, Best Practice Analyzer, Performance, Roles and Features)<br />
<br />
<strong>Local Server -> Properties</strong><br />
<br />
This gives you details about the machine like:-<br />
<br />
- Name<br />
- Domain / Workgroup<br />
- Firewall Status<br />
- Remote Desktop Enabled / Disabled<br />
- IP Address<br />
- Operating System<br />
- NIC Teaming<br />
- Updates Information<br />
- IE Enhanced Security<br />

<br />
In Server Manager, With all the Sub Windows (Like Properties, Events....), On right top corner, you get an option of "Tasks"... Tasks related to that sub-window<br />
<br />
Local Server -> Properties -> Tasks<br />
<br />
So, In Local Server, Properties, When clicked on Tasks, We got the following options:-<br />
<br />
- Shut Down Local Server<br />
- Windows PowerShell<br />
- Computer Management<br />
- All the Snap-Ins/Roles/Features Installed on the Local Server<br />

<strong>Local Server -> Best Practice Analyzer</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Ahh... Was waiting for this to be discussed... :)<br />
<br />
Two things which I think Microsoft have taken from Exchange 2007 and have incorporated in Windows Server 2012 are Best Practice Analyzer and PowerShell Commands... (I will discuss PowerShell Commands later)<br />
<br />
Best Practice Analyzer : Currently there is nothing in this section, but I promise I will show you the usage of this later in this post.. And Yes... <strong><em>(Once I make a commitment… I don’t even listen to myself”)</em></strong><br />
<strong><em></em></strong><br />
But Yes... As we all know that there are something known as "Recommendation's". For every role (FSMO, AD. DC, DNS....) Microsoft have some Recommendation's... These are not something which HAVE to be followed by administrators, but then it is advisable to follow them for better results<br />
<br />
On the same lines, Microsoft has created their Best Practice Analyzers for different components (AD, DNS, Exchange...).... The tool here just contains the Best Practices (Recommendation's) which is advisable to be followed. Here in this Window, Later You will see that there will be Errors/Warnings stating which part of the component is not working/installed/configured as per Microsoft Recommendation's.<br />

But the best part is... Doing a Right Click on DC2 (A remote Machine) also showed the same many options...<br />
<br />
So effectively, Now I can easily manage all other servers which are added here Remotely. For Example, doing a right click on DC2 and choosing the option "Active Directory Users and Computers"<br />

<strong><span style="background-color: yellow;">File and Storage Services</span></strong><br />
<br />
I personally think that with Windows Server 2012, Microsoft have proved that Cloud Computing is the next big thing... There are so many features in Windows Server 2012 which has been integrated keeping in mind Cloud Computing...<br />
<strong><span style="background-color: yellow;"></span></strong><br />
Another very useful feature added in Server Manager - The File and Storage Services<br />
<br />
File and Storage Services has been divided into sub categories:-<br />
<br />
- Servers<br />
- Volumes<br />
- Disks<br />
- Storage Pools<br />
- Shares<br />
-iSCSI<br />
<br />
<strong>File and Storage Services -> Servers</strong><br />
<br />
Lists the name of the servers which are being monitored<br />
<br />

<br />
<strong>File and Storage Services -> Servers -> Events</strong><br />
<br />
The point to note here is the events that are getting displayed here are not the same events that you would have seen in "<em>Local Server -> Events</em>". Events in Local Server will contain Events from all the Sources (System, Application...) but the Events displayed here "<em>File and Storage Services -> Servers -> Events" </em>will list only the Events related to <strong>Disk</strong> and the Roles which uses <strong>Data/Disk</strong> (Ex: DFSR)<br />
<br />
You will not find Events related to Applications, Windows Time Service, Lssas, Etc....<br />

<strong>File and Storage Services -> Volumes -> Volumes</strong><br />
<br />
This shows the volumes that you have on the servers... Remember, Volumes are logical partitions, where as disks are physical drives<br />
<br />
So in this screenshot, we have two servers added in Server Manager and both the servers have one volume each<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtb58FQ1rIZvHQJ-hyPYGTMl7yAHdoQVqBpXtRcrEcWwKmUqNPBMUQYm_DlMtxilu_MYmrCzyj_XxgLai0EC-ItdivcFegBF1dfZEX6TkdgzWavzBOzDacCFMjv20tO7iS0KpfIDQQqIE/s1600/DC1-2012-09-09-19-08-28.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="340" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtb58FQ1rIZvHQJ-hyPYGTMl7yAHdoQVqBpXtRcrEcWwKmUqNPBMUQYm_DlMtxilu_MYmrCzyj_XxgLai0EC-ItdivcFegBF1dfZEX6TkdgzWavzBOzDacCFMjv20tO7iS0KpfIDQQqIE/s640/DC1-2012-09-09-19-08-28.PNG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And doing a Right Click on the Volume gives you the options:-<br />
<br />
- New Share<br />
- New Virtual Disk<br />
- Scan File System for Errors<br />
- Repair File System Errors<br />
- Manage Drive Letter and Access Paths<br />
- Format<br />
- Extend Volume<br />
- Delete Volume<br />
- Configure Data Deduplication<br />
<br />
So come to think of it... All the above options are not only for the Local Server.. You can do all these for any Remote Server as well from this GUI...<br />

As stated earlier, Volumes are logical partitions, where as disks are physical drives. Here we are talking about Physical Drives<br />
<br />
So in this screenshot, we have two servers added in Server Manager and both the servers have one drive each<br />

Now in the background, I have added one more Virtual Disk on to the server DC1<br />
<br />
To make it visible, I have to Rescan the Storage:-<br />
<br />
File and Storage Services -> Volumes -> Volumes -> Tasks<br />
OR<br />
File and Storage Services -> Disks -> Disks -> Tasks<br />
<br />

<br />
After the Rescan, I don't see any addition of a drive in Volumes... Remember the fact, that I have added a Disk. A Physical Disk, where as Volume is Logical Partition on the Disk. So first the disk will be visible and then I have to create a volume on that disk. So I am at a wrong location indeed... I should look under Disk and not under volume<br />

Ahh... I can now see that disk... My New Disk :)<br />

See, the Partition is Unknown as its a Raw Disk... You have to create Partition on the Disk.. I mean... Volume<br />

And to prove myself yet again.. The disk is getting displayed here in My Computer...<br />
<br />
Instead of one volume, I could have created two volumes on the same disk<br />
<br />
Then it would have showed two disks (old and new one) and under volume it would have showed three volume (one for the old disk and two for the new disk)...<br />

<strong>Create Server Group</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Ahh... At last.. One of the Coolest Feature of Server Manager<br />
<br />
Creating a Group of Servers to be Monitored... Suppose you have two servers in a cluster or you have three domain controllers, two certificate servers, two DNS Servers<br />
<br />
One thing that you can do is to add all these servers in this Server Manager Snap-In and all the server will then be listed in "All Servers"... But don't you think it will be a bit messy<br />
<br />
Here is a solution.. Grouping of Servers<br />
<br />
Create three groups (Example)... AD, DNS ,CA....<br />
Add three domain controllers in the AD Group, Two DNS Servers in the DNS Group and Two CA Servers in the CA Group<br />
<br />
Cool... Isn't It...?<br />
<br />
So what are you thinking.. Lets Create a Group<br />
<br />

<br />
Again, adding the servers can be done using Server Pool/AD/DNS/Import Options<br />

Wow... Saw something New...??<br />
<br />
Now I have few more options in the left pane.. But hey.. Wait.. I just added CA Server.. So does it shows IIS.. That is because IIS Role is also Installed on the CA Server and that Role also has to be Monitored...<br />
<br />
And See.. the Group Name also getting Displayed.. So it will Display the Group Name as well it will add the components to be monitored from the server added in the Group<br />

<strong>My First Post on Windows Server 2012</strong><br />
<strong></strong><br />
<em>Every Beginning has an End... And every End brings a new Beginning</em><br />
<br />
Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 has been launched and there has been a good number of changes in both the client and server operating system as opposed to their previous versions (Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2)<br />
<br />
Few months back, When I first saw Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, I thought that there has been only "Cosmetic" changes in these Operating System... But Microsoft proved me wrong... Believe me guys... I have to truly admire the changes that has been incorporated this time... If someone asks me to describe the changes in few words, I will say "<strong>Simplified Administration</strong>"<br />
<br />
With the Launch of Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, Microsoft have officially given farewell to our very dear "<strong>Start</strong>" button which use to sit silently at the bottom left corner of the Operating System, Obediently doing what ever we use to tell him :)<br />
<br />
So, The Start has Ended....<br />
<br />
This is the First Screen that you will get once you install Windows Server 2012 (No, The Coffee Wallpaper is my own which is "Of course" not the default wallpaper)<br />
<br />
Notice the absence of "Start"<br />
<br />

Now since enough discussion has been done on Read Only Connections in DFSR on Windows 2008 R2, I am sure you all would like to know who is responsible of making this happen... <br />
Lets start this Journey.....<br />
<br />
So, We have 2 Servers involved in Replication. One Server (MyRODC) has a Read Only Connection<br />

(Read This...)<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
I can confidently say that this is one of my best Post... <br />
<br />
Reason? Guys you asks so many questions... Anyways... I have to answer.... As if I have an option :(<br />
<br />
One of the Best Post because usually the other posts just involves recreating the environment... They do not involve much of thinking... But for this post I had to think a lot...<br />
<br />
In my earlier two posts, I discussed about how to change a connection from read Only to Read Write and Vice Versa... Even though there is an option to do so and we have seen in those posts that it works like a charm, but then.... There is a Flaw...<br />
<br />
Let`s try to discover what`s there behind that option... Why should`nt we choose that way to change the connection type... WHY<br />
<br />
<strong><u>Lab</u></strong><br />
<strong><u></u></strong><br />
1. One Writable Domain Controller - MyDC<br />
2. One Read Only Domain Controller - MyRODC<br />
<br />
3. One Replication Group - Two Way Replication<br />
4. One Replicated Folder - Two Way Data<br />
<br />
Currently, we have a RG named Two Way Replication which has a RF named Two Way Data. The RG consist of two servers involved in Replication - MyDC and MyRODC<br />
<br />

The file hasn't got replicated on to the other "MyDC" as the DFSR sservice was stopped on the other server "MyRODC" where I have created the file<br />

And the file is not even on the other server "MyDC"... I know I know... U must be saying if the file is not on the server where it was created and the file hasn't replicated so this is quite obvious....huh<br />

Ahhh..... I found my file.... Its here... here????<br />
<br />
Now what the hell this file is doing in Pre-Existing.... Strange... A file/folder is moved into Pre-Existing when the server is in Non-Authoritative State.... Something fishy here....<br />

<strong>THE BOTTOM LINE OF THIS STORY</strong><br />
<br />
Guys.... Remember this.... When you change the Connection Type from Read Only to Read Write or Vice Versa, the Server becomes Non-Authoritative....<br />
<br />
That`s why I said in my earlier post... Please make sure you take backup from both the servers (upstream and downstream) before making this change... Else<br />
<br />
Get ready to Loose your DATA... :)</div>
